33 Shopping Spree? (1/2)
”Seriously!?” Leo shouted out in both anger and confusion. ”Why do these skill books cost so much gold?” punching his fist into his hand, Leo tried to calm down. According to the screen, some of the first handful of skills which appeared were all over ten thousand gold coins!
”Wait a minute, it shows right here that I can sort these items. Let me see here…” clicking on the sorting tab on the screen, Leo finally found the cheapest skill book first button. Clicking the button, Leo secretly prayed that he would find something he could afford.
”That is still horrible, but at least I can afford something now!” a little more satisfied, Leo saw five different skill books that were only five hundred gold coins. They were all books that had a skill that the user could learn.
Scrolling down further, it seemed as if the more advanced skills continued to skyrocket in price. Of course, some of the most expensive skills in the city were over one hundred thousand gold coins. However, those skills were only learned by the heirs of each household within the city and were still incomplete according to the marketplace.
”For these skill books to be incomplete must mean that some of the households try to sell them in order to quickly raise funds? Either way, I am sure if I become strong enough, that the alliance will have no problem giving me some more skill books.” Pondered Leo as he finished his bath and started to brainstorm which skill he wanted to purchase.
”Well, if I can only afford one of theses five skill books for now, I should purchase this one that is a movement skill called Dragon Dash. Since I already have my bronze skin to help defend myself, what I need now is a movement type skill so that I can retreat or speed forward against my enemies!”
Clicking the purchase button for the ”Dragon Dash” skill book, the screen started to beep once again.
”Beep! Beep! Beep!”
-Skill book can now be found in your inventory-
Excited to see how he can use this so-called skill book to learn a new skill, Leo quickly withdrew the book from his inventory. The book seemed rather ancient and not very well kept. This did not stop Leo as he quickly opened the book to its first page.
-Requirements to learn this skill are as follows: 10 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 8 Wisdom-
”No… no….. NO!” reading the contents of the page, Leo quickly tried to flip through the rest of the book, except, the rest of the pages were completely empty!
”Status!” Leo called out to look at his current attribute points that he used so that he could compare.
-Leo Lv.4. Job Title: None Strength: 15, Constitution: 8, Dexterity: 7, Intelligence: 7, Wisdom: 8, Luck: 7. Remaining Attribute Points:0. Passive Skills Learned: Bronze Skin Lv.2, Combat Skills learned: Rage Lv.1-
”Damn it! I need to add more points to my dexterity before I could even learn this skill? I just wasted most of my gold on something so useless for right now!” Leo started to feel some tears drip down from his face knowing that he was unable to quickly learn a new skill.
