I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Night Before the College Entrance Exam, a Million Skill Points, and Adding to Forbidden Curse!

”Agreed!”

”No objections!”

”Agreed!”

For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with voices of agreement.

Qi Guoguang saw that the majority had voted in favor.

He stood up and said, ”The meeting is concluded, I will submit the materials upstairs now.”

”Meeting adjourned!”

Qi Guoguang walked out of the conference room.

A trace of worry appeared on his face.

What a troublesome year!

More than ten days ago.

The wild world boss in Canglan City’s outskirts mutated, and he witnessed a powerful mage who could unleash a Fireball Technique and another seventh-tier skill four times consecutively.

Now, from the Abyss surfaced someone who could use eighth-tier magic with a flick of the wrist, the Abyss Flame Emperor.

Their common trait is very evident.

And that is seen from their magical imprints.

They are both very young!

Much younger than myself!

Qi Guoguang felt a wave of helplessness.

It’s a feeling of having immersed oneself in this path for a lifetime.

Yet completely unable to match the true genius in the way of magic!

Oh heavens, why are you so unkind to me!

...

Meanwhile.

In Jiangcheng.

Lin Yi walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

Headed towards the other end of the street of life-professionals.

These past ten days, he hadn’t ventured out much to level up.

Mainly because the leveling zones and dungeons around Jiangcheng were far below Lin Yi’s level.

Even if he went to level up, he would gain very little experience.

Such an inefficient task, Lin Yi didn’t want to do it.

With the major exams approaching, other students were grinding hard.

Only Lin Yi had been slacking at home for ten days.

It’s worth mentioning, the Jiang Family seemed to be truly grateful to Lin Yi for saving Jiang Chen.

The next day, the old man Jiang Xian directly brought the awakened Jiang Chen to express their gratitude in person.

Lin Yi’s parents were startled.

Overwhelmed with favor.

Lin Yi received a Skill Point Scroll worth 200 points, fully tradeable, and a silver-grade mage set.

Quite a valuable gift of appreciation.

Lin Yi estimated that reselling it could fetch several hundred thousand Xia currency!

This time, Lin Yi came to the Treasure Pavilion to sell the equipment set from the Jiang Family, along with two other golden-grade pieces he had saved with Zhang Dahai.

After seeing platinum-grade equipment.

Lin Yi found that mage set quite uninteresting.

And most importantly...

It looked really ugly when worn!

For those attributes, Lin Yi didn’t want to abandon his image...

So he resold it.

Lin Yi went to a shop specializing in recycling skill books and skill point scrolls.

This little shop was recommended by Zhang Dafu.

With his influence, all the Skill Point Scrolls in Lin Yi’s possession were sold at a price about 10% higher than the market rate.

After clearing out this batch of items.

Lin Yi also received a text from Xia Bank.

[Your account ending in 4396 has received a transfer amount: 749,680 yuan, account balance: 1,293,346.21 yuan!]

Lin Yi’s savings have officially surpassed the million mark!

Indeed, if you want to get rich, you have to rely on selling goods.

Especially those tradable Skill Point Scrolls.

This thing seems to have become the super hard currency of the entire Blue Star.

Even comparable to gold on Earth in Lin Yi’s previous life.

The price of Skill Point Scrolls across the entire Blue Star is fixed, basically impossible to fall, only rise!

Perhaps this is also why Lin Yi’s good brother Zhang Shan once said his father kept a few Skill Point Scrolls.

The value of storing these surpasses the interest rate growth of a regular deposit!

[Ding! Detected that your savings balance has surpassed a million, your Gift from All Gods has unlocked a new feature!]

Lin Yi was surprised.

Wow, a million in savings unlocked a new feature!

Lin Yi opened the talent interface to see the detailed new feature.

[Skill Evolution: You can consume 1 million Blue Star currency and corresponding skill points to evolve one of your Tier Eight or higher skills into an aberrant version of the same tier, with stronger power and enhanced effects!]

[For comparison and experience, your fire-element Tier Eight skill was evolved to an aberrant version for free upon awakening. When using this feature later, it will consume corresponding currency, and with each use, the currency cost will further increase.]

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Wow, his gift has truly become a pay-to-win feature.

Not only can spending money speed up the acquisition of skill points, but now it can evolve skills!

True ”pay-to-win” empowerment!

Skills have aberrant versions?

His fire-element Tier Eight skill, Supreme Sublimation, Fire Spirit Transformation, is different from other fire-specialized mage Tier Eight skills?

Well, this skill is quite a mix, with both transformation state attributes and wide-area high damage.

It indeed should be much stronger than the ordinary fire-element Tier Eight.

Looks like he really needs to prioritize making money in the future!

Lin Yi opened his personal panel again.

And looked at the skill point section.

[Assignable Skill Points: 974,639]

The skill points given daily over these ten days have almost reached a million as well!

Lin Yi still hadn’t forgotten the small goal set just under a month ago, on the day of awakening.

To upgrade the Fireball Technique to a Forbidden Curse!

Now, this small goal is within reach.

Should he spend some money to speed things up?

However, when Lin Yi opened the spending interface.

After seeing that it would cost 100,000 Xia currency to exchange for just over 80,000 skill points.

He felt a bit of a toothache.

It would cost more than one currency per skill point!

Although for other people, if they could truly buy a skill point for a bit more than one currency, they’d probably laugh in their sleep.

But Lin Yi has the privilege of getting skill points for free without spending a cent.

That’s where the psychological gap comes in.

No spending!

No more spending.

Otherwise, his bank account’s million Xia currency wouldn’t be enough.

Anyway, he’s just over thirty thousand points away.

By hanging in there until tonight, it’ll be enough.

...

In the afternoon, Lin Yi returned to school.

Mainly because tomorrow is Blue Star Great Xia’s annual new professional qualification entrance exam!

For all the students who have just changed professions and are still immature, this is truly the first major turning point in their lives!

Either soar into the sky.

Or live a mediocre life.

Returning to school was primarily to get a motivational speech and some pre-exam advice from the teachers and principal.

The main message being telling everyone not to be nervous and just perform normally.

Lin Yi was actually not very interested in such motivational gatherings.

But he couldn’t resist Zhang Shan continuously saying he wanted to meet.

They hadn’t seen each other in a month.

Because the national exam results are released on the same day.

No waiting required.

Examine, publish results on the spot.

Mostly filling out choices and waiting for college acceptance takes time.

So in most cases, after the exam, everyone goes their separate ways, never to return to high school.

Lin Yi agreed.

This pre-exam motivational meetup didn’t last long.

It ended in less than half a day.

Lin Yi exchanged blessings with Jiang Ya, Zhang Shan, and a few other close classmates before heading home.

Returning home, Lin Yi found out that his father surprisingly took the day off,

To have dinner with him.

His mother, Xu Qingfang, made a large table of delicious food.

His parents were delighted.

But Lin Yi could see.

They were actually more nervous than him.

Tomorrow is the most important day in their child’s life, and as parents, it’s a feeling no one else can understand.

After getting full and satisfied.

It was close to nine o’clock in the evening.

Lin Yi took a shower.

Lying on the bed.

He had to get up early the next day, so he needed to sleep a bit earlier tonight.

But before sleeping, Lin Yi opened his personal panel once more.

This time, the skill point balance had finally, like his savings balance, surpassed seven digits!
