Chapter 1057 -639: Skill Update, Massive Power Surge, Luxury Talent! (Part 2)

The four bottles of Silver-level Secret Medicine together require a total of 2 million contribution points.

Even with Fang Zhou benefiting simultaneously from the Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal and the 7.2% discount provided by the Undead Mage research group leader, he still has to pay 1.44 million contribution points.

This is a huge expense, but for the ambitious Fang Zhou, this investment is undoubtedly worthwhile.

Although Fang Zhou doesn’t currently have the financial resources to exchange them all, it doesn’t stop him from putting them on his wish list for now.

Besides the direct attribute boost brought by the Attribute Secret Medicine, Fang Zhou, who has advanced to the Golden Level, also faces the need for equipment upgrades.

With Liquid Mana evolving into Solid Mana, his capacity to carry equipment has naturally increased significantly.

In an ideal situation, he naturally wants to completely upgrade all the 8 pieces of Blue Fine quality equipment he has to Purple Zhuo Yue quality high-tier equipment.

This is undoubtedly a large-scale project.

After all, even for Golden level professionals in the Longxia Federation, acquiring a piece of Purple Zhuo Yue quality equipment is extremely difficult, requiring great effort and a fair amount of luck.

Fang Zhou can only work on his other equipment updates through the Logistics Resource Depot of the Longxia Federation military.

No matter the method, Purple Zhuo Yue quality equipment and marvels are always available but not affordable.

Not to mention that Fang Zhou also wants exclusive equipment with better effects for an Undead Mage.

Thinking about his sub-profession as a high-level blacksmith, Fang Zhou has an idea in mind.

He might even have to craft some usable equipment with his own hands.

But this again requires a lot of Soul Power and contribution points to learn the corresponding blacksmith sub-profession knowledge.

Fang Zhou sighed softly.

He didn’t expect that even after reaching the Golden Tier, he still has to endure the pain of a hero being stumped by lack of money.

After calming himself slightly, Fang Zhou continued to organize his purchase list.

As he entered the Silver level, some marvels he once relied upon during the Silver Stage, due to level restrictions, can no longer exert their effects.

The Death Energy Scroll, Blessing Phylactery, Prison Badge, and other Blue Fine quality marvels indeed performed well against Silver Tier enemies.

But when facing Golden level opponents, their effects are minimal and almost negligible.

The bonuses provided by the Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal and Moon Orchid Fragrance have also significantly decreased.

Of course, not all marvels have lost their effectiveness.

Due to its higher quality, the Berserk Mark can still provide necessary support for Fang Zhou for quite some time.

This again made Fang Zhou sigh.

If he could successfully promote his high-level Alchemist and high-level Blacksmith sub-professions to expert level, and have enough alchemy and forging resources.

He might be able to enhance these Blue Fine quality marvels to Purple Zhuo Yue quality, thereby extending their lifespan.

In terms of specialization, Fang Zhou had previously engraved four major specializations: Magic Conductor, Strong Undead Summoning, Wisdom Incarnation, and War Caster.

And now, with the successful solidification of his Mana core, advancing to the Golden Tier, Fang Zhou can begin studying a fifth profession specialization.

Of course, for human professionals, the exchange price of profession specialization increases exponentially with the number of exchanges.

Fang Zhou has to spend at least 500,000 contribution points to exchange for the fifth profession specialization.

Regarding Spirit Pets, the Black Gem Dragon Tiamat and Death Elf Vigus are currently at the Silver Upper Rank.

Although their potential is boundless, it is still very challenging to quickly advance to the Golden Lower Rank.

It requires Fang Zhou, as their master, to prepare enough growth resources for them to absorb and digest.

The remaining main effort for Fang Zhou is the inference and enhancement of skills.

Especially in the universal skills of Golden level magic professionals, there are many new skills that Fang Zhou urgently needs to learn.

[Friend of Life], [Summoned Mage Mount], [Language Mastery], [Strong Calmness], and other basic universal skills for every magic professional have their corresponding advanced versions.

As for other Golden level universal skills for magic professionals like [High Energy Mana Armor], [High-Energy Mage’s Hand], [High-Energy Missile Storm], although not essential, these skills are also very important for Fang Zhou.

To elevate the Undead Mage skill tree from Silver level to Golden level requires accumulating a lot of Golden level magic professional skill materials.

Additionally, summoning series skills of the Undead Mage remain Fang Zhou’s top learning priority.

Under the inferences of previous Undead Mage predecessors like Sandro and Su Xinyan, the primary Golden level summoning skills include [Summon Vampire Noble] and [Summon Corpse Witch].

Under his clone’s research, various powerful Blood Spirit series units are also a strong addition to the Undead Army.

Moreover, skills trees such as Skeleton Series, Corrosive Poison Series, Soul Series, and Flesh and Blood Series, represented by Skeleton Prison, Poison Cloud Skill, Corpse Explosion Skill, Soul Stripping, and Vampire Transformation, all need to be further inferred and refined to the Golden Tier.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal to browse the Undead Mage Golden level skill library.

At the Golden Stage, the skills of the Undead Mage profession do not increase much compared to Silver level, mainly adding some upper advanced versions of Silver level skills.

For example, the upper advanced version of [Vampire Meditation Method] is [Corpse Witch Meditation Method], which can provide stronger mana support for summoned undead creatures.

The upper advanced versions of [Summon Vampire] are [Summon Vampire Noble] and [Summon Corpse Witch], summoning more powerful undead creatures;

The upper advanced version of [Transmit Plague] is [Plague Hell], which can cover a larger range and cause more damage;

The upper advanced version of [Death Energy Storm] is [Chain Death Energy Storm], capable of launching multiple Missile Storms consecutively, increasing attack frequency;

The upper advanced version of [Weakness Fog] is [Weakening Spirit], continuously weakening the enemy’s combat power.

…

Fang Zhou glanced at the Soul Power in the attribute panel, feeling unsure.

Previously in the Undead Realm, he thought the millions of Soul Power accumulated by his clone were enough for a period of extravagance.

But from the current cultivation plan for the main body, it seems that these Soul Powers are not enough to support a complete update of his entire set of skills.

Fang Zhou shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it further.

He decided to first calculate how many contribution points he needs to exchange for the resources he requires.

First, the high-tier equipment of Purple Zhuo Yue quality.

Purple equipment is a rare treasure in any level resource depot, always found but not affordable, leading to serious exchange premiums.

Plus, the corresponding Refining Stones and Gemstones, each piece costs at least 500,000 contribution points.

8 pieces together will require at least 4 million contribution points.

Next, there are many skills Fang Zhou needs to exchange.

First are the “four-piece set” skills essential for Silver-level magic professionals.

[Mage’s Friend], [High-Level Language Mastery], [Summoning Interdimensional Mount], and [Mage Spring].

Each of these four skills is valued at 300,000 contribution points, totaling 1.2 million contribution points.

Following are the eight core skills of the Undead Mage profession, with exchange prices ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 contribution points each, totaling 1.2 million contribution points.

Additionally, the corresponding skill insights for each skill have different exchange prices, adding up to 2.4 million contribution points together.

As for other Golden level skill materials that might be needed during skill inference, due to the lack of specific plans and the tight contribution points, they have not been exchanged yet.

Next are one bottle each of Golden-level [Strength Secret Medicine], [Constitution Secret Medicine], [Agility Secret Medicine], and [Spirit Secret Medicine], totaling 2 million contribution points.

After considering, Fang Zhou pre-selected some resources for Golden Tier cultivation for the next period.

30 bottles of Golden-level Mana Recovery Potion, total price 300,000 contribution points;

30 bottles of Golden-level Soul Calming Potion, total price 600,000 contribution points.

The total for all these essential resources adds up to over ten million contribution points.

If he wants to quickly absorb these resources, he will need at least an equivalent amount of Soul Power input for consumption.

For Fang Zhou, a professional who has just broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Golden, this is practically an astronomical number.
