At the moment Lin Yi saw this skill, he felt it absolutely had to be the cool and flashy type.
Just like in the countless animations he watched in his previous life.
The swordsman whose lifelong pursuit is speed.
Drawing the blade and dashing forward, he slashes a dozen times before the enemy can even react!
Then he sheathes his sword.
The enemy behind slowly falls.
Indeed, it's wickedly cool.
But why would such a skill appear in a Mage's skill set!
As a Mage, using this skill requires wielding melee weapons.
Although a magic staff is also considered a melee weapon.
But asking me to crazily whack the opponent with a staff nearly a hundred times would be quite awkward!
Lin Yi was walking and observing his new skill when he arrived at the city center of Jiangcheng.
Here lay the most crucial departments of the entire city.
Lin Yi saw the most grand building, bustling with people; it had five large characters on it saying Xia Trading House.
Just like Xia Bank, Xia Trading House is also a state-owned department backed by Xia's government.
The trading chain spans across Xia.
However, Jiangcheng is merely a level five base city, and this kind of small local branch has almost no connection with the headquarters.
The circulating goods and prices are basically regulated by Jiangcheng itself.
Walking through the bustling crowd through the doors of the trading house.
Lin Yi arrived at a self-service trading kiosk.
Since the Catastrophe Era, the development of Spirit Crystal Technology in various countries on Blue Star has matured significantly.
The self-service kiosks in this Trading House are the culmination of this.
Each kiosk has no staff, only a floating blue spirit crystal in the air, just like the one Lin Yi encountered during the career transfer ceremony.
It was Lin Yi's first time here.
He observed how others operated it and quickly understood how to use the thing in front of him.
This spirit crystal would project a full-screen interface with a single touch.
Then you just operate on the screen.
Whether selling or buying, the mini teleportation array on the trading counter can instantly deliver your goods.
Lin Yi was amazed.
Online shopping, lightning-fast delivery, immediate receipt, truly impressive!
Lin Yi scanned all the junk black iron equipment previously dropped by the Tiger King and its cubs from the Wailing Forest below the spirit crystal.
Soon, the spirit crystal provided an appraisal value.
Lin Yi's earlier estimation wasn't far off; these equipment pieces were at best at a national standard recycling price, fetching very little money at the trading house.
Luckily, one Celestial Flame Dragon Breath swept up more than a dozen pieces of equipment.
After selling off the dozen or so black iron pieces, Lin Yi had over ten thousand more Xia currency in his card.
Then Lin Yi sold all the materials dropped by monsters from his leveling training space.
The most valuable were the special materials dropped by the Tiger King.
The spirit crystal appraised them at two to three thousand each.
The rest were basically small change.
Finally, after emptying his backpack, his card's balance rose from a few dozen to over twenty thousand.
This money wasn't enough to buy a 24-hour idle skill points reward again.
So Lin Yi planned to see if he could find any good deals at the trading house.
He searched for Mage skill books.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single one.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and quickly figured it out.
On one hand, skill books have an extremely low drop rate in low-level areas, and Jiangcheng is a super-remote small town with a low volume of goods.
This also proves how incredibly lucky he was to have a skill book drop from the Tiger King yesterday.
On the other hand, even if they had the goods, many wouldn't be willing to sell such items at the trading house.
Just like the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow Lin Yi obtained, it was eventually sold to a shop specializing in recovering and trading such goods.
Other professionals, even if they obtained skill books they couldn't use, would surely want to sell them for a good price.
For purchasing professional skill books.
You'll need to head to the skill book specialty shop under the Professional Guild.
No Mage skill books available.
So, are there any universal skill books?
Lin Yi tapped the spirit crystal screen, enabling the filter mode.
Removing the Mage profession as a filter option.
Pressed the search button again.
Rows of skill books quickly appeared before him.
[Basic Appraisal Skill]
[Price: 18,992 Xia currency/book]
Lin Yi scrolled down.
Only to find that there's only one type of universal skill book.
And after these skill books, there are details about the manufacturer.
It seems these universal skills are not dropped by monsters.
But created by other life professionals in the enchanting and scroll crafting fields.
However, even the most ordinary Basic Appraisal Skill book costs nearly twenty thousand, which is ridiculously expensive!
Then how expensive could a Mage's skill book be?
Lin Yi felt a bit of a headache.
Initially, after selling the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow today, he thought he was somewhat wealthy.
Didn't expect it was just wishful thinking.
But even if it's expensive, he has to buy it.
If it weren't for the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow emitting a green glow in the dark, he might have missed such a treasure.
With the Appraisal Skill, he would at least be aware of a treasure when he sees it.
Especially with this Basic Appraisal Skill, in his hands, it wouldn't just remain basic.
With hundreds of thousands of skill points ready to fill it, ensuring it has nothing trivial.
Immediately advancing to a higher level!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and bought the Appraisal Skill book.
The next moment, his phone in his pocket vibrated; Lin Yi didn't even need to check.
He knew Xia Bank was notifying him of being broke again.
Meanwhile, the teleportation array beneath the spirit crystal before Lin Yi lit up, and after more than ten seconds, a grey, dusty scroll appeared in the center of the array.
Lin Yi picked up the scroll.
Checked its attributes.
No mistake, it was indeed the Appraisal Skill book.
Without hesitation, he chose to learn it immediately.
[Ding! Skill book: Basic Appraisal Skill used successfully, you have acquired a new skill: Appraisal Skill (Basic)!]
Next, Lin Yi naturally didn't think much.
Poured hundreds of thousands of skill points into it.
After a burst of notifications.
Lin Yi received an unprecedented notification!
[Ding! You have consumed 120,000 skill points, your Appraisal Skill (Master) has advanced, you have acquired a new magic: Appraisal Skill (Peak)!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first on Blue Star to upgrade Appraisal Skill to: Peak level, you have received a Unique Reward!]
[Your Appraisal Skill (Peak) has evolved into a new skill: Eye of Omniscience!]
Lin Yi was dumbfounded.
What the heck?
Such an operation exists?
He is actually the first person on Blue Star to upgrade Appraisal Skill to this level?
For a millennium since the Catastrophe Era, no one snatched this Unique Reward first??
The so-called Unique Reward, Lin Yi had read about in textbooks.
In short, it's similar to achievement systems in games.
Once someone achieves an unprecedented achievement, it triggers the Celestial Dao Unique Reward!
