Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

At this point, Bates had 17 soul points, which was the largest amount of soul points that he had obtained.

The three lord-tier bosses accounted for five of the soul points.

Bates invented one soul point into the [ magic-breaking spear ] skill, which caused the mana cost to increase, and its power to strengthen. After he’d added the fourth soul point, the [ magic-breaking spear ] skill disappeared and was replaced by a new skill.

[ magic-breaking strike: active skill. The infusion of mysterious power greatly increased your control over mana. After consuming 500 mana points and releasing a spear that contains mana, you are able to completely shatter any magic attribute shield below the intermediate level, you have a high probability of shattering the high-level magic attribute shields, and a low probability of shattering the top-level magic attribute shields. ]

Next, he added the same four soul points into his [ space-splitting spear ] skill, which also replaced it with a new skill.

[ space-splitting nine flashes: active skill. Using a tenth of your stamina, you can instantly stab nine times, dealing a physical damage equal to your strength attribute x 3. This skill can lock onto nine enemies at the same time to launch an attack, and it could also lock onto one enemy, dealing nine consecutive damages to that single enemy. ]

After leveling up consecutively, the power of the two active skills had been greatly enhanced!

The [ magic-breaking strike ] skill would become Bates’ core skill when facing spellcasters and magical creatures.

The [ space-splitting nine flashes ] skill could be used as an area attack skill, and it could also be used to instantly attack an enemy nine times, causing a large amount of damage. This skill would definitely become Bates’ main combat technique in the future!

Looking at his nine remaining soul points, Bates looked at the other skills he had. Other than the [ survey ] skill, the others still could not be upgraded.

After thinking for a few seconds, Bates said, “Max out the [ survey ] skill to the limit!”

After spending one soul point, the [ survey ] skill did not change much, except that the mana consumption had increased quite a bit.

After spending two soul points, the [ survey ] skill had become the [ appraisal ] skill. Not only could it check the information of the enemy, but it could also check the information of the equipment.

After spending another soul point, the success rate of the [ appraisal ] skill was greatly increased.

After spending a fourth soul point, the [ appraisal ] skill changed again, and became the [ insight ] skill.

After looking at the system’s description of the [ insight ] skill and looking at his remaining soul points, Bates gritted his teeth and invested another two soul points into the skill.

With six soul points invested, the skill was finally upgraded to the highest level!

[ eye of insight: passive skill. The infusion of mysterious power greatly increased your ability to observe. The highest level of sight has been fixed in your eyes. When you conduct a swooping gaze, you can easily analyze most of the information in the world. ]

‘The soul points invested were not wasted!’ he thought.

Seeing that he only had three soul points left, Bates felt a little heartache. The [ eye of insight ] skill had consumed a total of seven soul points! That was roughly the consumption of two main combat skills! However, the rewards were worth it.

The [ insight ] had become [ eye of insight ], which was equivalent to fixing the highest level of [ insight ] in Bates’ eyes. From now on, no mana consumption was needed, and there was no need to cast spells. As long as Bates’ eyes swept across, he would be able to obtain most of the information he needed, just like a player.

In truth, the current Bates was way more powerful than any player!

The automatic [ view ] skill players were spawned with, could only provide the name of the monster, its level, its HP, and some other brief information.

Not only could bates see more detailed information about the enemy, but he could also see information about equipment, materials, and even minerals and plants!

It was as if it had installed a brief game database in Bates’ eyes! When his eyes swept over an object, he could immediately retrieve the relevant information! Anyone who had played the game before knew the importance of that kind of information.

The information of a boss, as well as elite monsters and small monsters, was crucial when clearing a dungeon.

If a gamer obtained all the same information, even if they were an idiot, they would still become a top-class gamer, according to the gaming community!

Bates opened his virtual backpack and took out the large knife he had obtained from killing Geer.

Bates swept his gaze over it, and a string of information appeared before his eyes.

[ name ] : Goblin Broadsword

[ quality ] : Gold Equipment

[ type ] : Long-Handled Weapon

[ additional skill ] : Saber Aura

[ equipment description ] : This is the beloved item of the goblin general, Geer. If it appeared in your hands, could it mean that the goblin kingdom had been destroyed before it was established?

Bates could still not see the specific quantitative information on the equipment, but the broadsword in his hand did not have much attack power.

However, the information that appeared in Bates’ mind was more in line with the description of equipment in a real game world.

Putting away the gold-quality broadsword, Bates took out a sharp tooth left behind by the venomous dragon lord.

[ name ] : Tooth of the Venomous Flying Dragon

[ quality ] : Dark Gold

[ type ] : Material

[ effect ] : When integrated into a weapon, it can raise the standard of both gold-quality equipment and below gold-quality equipment. There is also a small chance that the weapon will be equipped with an armor-piercing skill.

[ material description ] : This is the front tooth of the venomous flying dragon lord.

One piece of equipment, one type of material. The [ eye of insight ] had given a different, but particularly detailed description.

Bates believed that even if a divine artifact appeared in front of him, the [ eye of insight ] would still allow him to see plenty of information.

Bates looked around.

Everything in front of him seemed to have become much clearer. Even the weeds on the ground, and the sparse magic plants in the swamp, were given detailed information by the [ eye of insight ].

Bates’ consciousness changed, and all the descriptions of the weeds in his vision disappeared. Only the sparse magical plants were still shimmering with a weak light.

A godly skill without any exaggerated elements!

To Bates, the [ eye of insight ], which was classified as a support skill, was an absolute god-like skill!

The existence of the [ eye of insight ] to Bates, was equivalent to equipping an ordinary person with a pair of powerful electronic eyes.

From now on, Bates would no longer be at a disadvantage when it came to information. On the contrary, he would have an advantage over others! An advantage that only Bates could use!
