Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 693 - 612: 2 Golden Magic Stones
The group walked on the road back to the guild.
Many shops around had already changed their signboards, and their goods were filled with supplies needed by explorers. Various functions and steel vehicles were loaded with goods, coming and going on the streets.
Even though it was already dusk, these people showed no signs of wanting to rest.
Kane turned back to look at the teleportation station.
A huge teleportation crystal stone was already set in the sky.
Then he felt himself covered by a shadow.
The group looked up at the sky.
A huge airship was flying out of the city.
The enormous teleportation crystal in the sky opened another teleportation gate, and a new airship appeared.
"It seems that Lion City will be bustling in the future," Kane couldn't help but say.
When they arrived at the guild headquarters, many of the houses around had changed owners.
Perhaps because Kane's group had set up the guild headquarters in this area, many shops around had become stores for buying and selling various equipment and materials.
Many facades were being renovated, indicating that this place would soon become a commercial street entirely serving explorers.
"President Kane, long time no see." A hearty voice rang out.
Kane looked over to see Koro Crocodile, who had given them this land for free. He was holding the hand of a chubby boy in a little suit, who bowed politely to Kane and his group.
"Crocodile, picking up your son?"
Koro Crocodile's son was already a guild member and often entered the guild hall.
This chubby kid spent most of his time observing and learning from various guild members to decide his future path.
"Hahaha, of course, I still have to take this kid back, so I'll take my leave," Koro Crocodile waved and said.
He noticed that Kane's group seemed to have returned from a journey, so he used this excuse to avoid disturbing them.
Kane smiled and said, "Alright, farewell then."
With that, Kane's group entered the headquarters and went to their respective rooms.
On the way to their rooms, they noticed many of them were already occupied, indicating that the guild explorers had returned.
The rooms at the guild headquarters were relatively small and simple, without much decoration.
After all, these rooms were essentially for guild members to better access the guild hall.
Through a room transfer, they entered the guild hall.
The guild hall was quite lively now; dusk was the start of the most bustling time for the entire guild.
All the guild explorers were present, even Funa's team was crowded around the bar, drinking.
Kane walked over and sat beside them, taking the drink Burton handed over.
"You guys finished exploring the dungeon?"
"Master Kane." Funa looked at Kane's arrival and called out.
She was still accustomed to calling Kane Master.
"We finished exploring just a few days ago, just got back."
"Oh, right."
Funa seemed to remember something, she fumbled inside her space equipment for a while and then took out a golden magic material.
"This was the only golden-level magic item burst from the last boss during the dungeon exploration, which just so happens to be a material that can be absorbed by a magic stone."
"However, this material seems unable to fully fill a magic stone. Who knows how long it will be before we get another golden material, so I'll give it to you first."
Funa explained as she handed the golden material to Kane.
Kane was somewhat surprised as he took the material.
Considering the time for the World Ring to continue, Funa's group indeed had little chance to advance to golden in the next one or two years.
After all, during this period, the focus would be on matters within the World Ring.
Looking at the material in his hand, Kane thought for a moment and took out five silver magic stones from his space equipment, handing them to Funa.
"As the president, I can't take it for free; consider these as an exchange."
Hearing Kane's words, Funa didn't hesitate and directly accepted the five silver magic stones.
Primarily, the golden magic materials in their hands indeed required a long time to be converted into magic stones for use.
Moreover, these materials can be absorbed; selling them would be too loss-making. For guild explorers, even the dumbest wouldn't do such a thing.
After all, the price of selling these materials couldn't even compare to the leg hair of some guild items.
At this time, Kreya came over and handed a magazine to Kane, then followed Lirulu to Adoma's direction.
Beside him, Finaris also greeted Kane.
Kane picked up the magazine and took a look; it was the latest issue that came out yesterday.
It detailed the opening positions of every area for the World Ring.
Dividing the mist enveloping the world into 26 areas, there were a total of 26 World Ring entrances.
The opening of the first entrance was naturally on Kane's side, at the fog wall extending from the dungeon entrance of the Giant Wood Forest.
After five months, the entrance opening would be initiated by Kane, followed by the simultaneous opening of the other 25 entrances.
The closest major city to their entrance was Lion City, which explains the enormous changes during this one month of Kane's absence.
And these changes were just the beginning. During the next five months, Lion City would undergo insane expansion.
Being the primary opening area, it would open half a day earlier than other areas, attracting the most forces and explorers.
All explorers and forces entering from this entrance would need a supply of materials, making Lion City the best transit point, turning it into a pile of wealth with resources flowing from around the world.
As long as the government forces of Lion City aren't foolish, they'll ride this wave to success.
It can be foreseen that yet another thriving city will rapidly rise in the coming years.
Where no better cities exist at some entry points, large forces might even jointly build one on-site.
This is definitely a profitable business, as many places are still bickering over the construction of these cities.
However, Kane just casually flipped through it; he had already learned these details from Gordon's letters.
His current information is basically in sync with the top levels of the Mist Council.
Putting down the magazine, he now has more important things to do, and his whole mind has completely drifted over.
Draining the drink in his hand in one gulp, he then directly bid farewell to everyone and got up to leave.
He vanished with a flash in the Guild Hall, returning to his personal space.
Back in his personal space, Kane did not hurry. He first carefully cleaned his body, changed into clean pajamas, and lay down on the soft and comfortable Cloud Bed.
Spreading his palm, magic power gathered in his hand, and an eight-sided dice appeared in his hand.
Kane directly tossed it into the air, watching the dice spin on the floor.
The dice spun slower and slower and finally came to a steady stop.
Red, two red dots.
Enough. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Without hesitation, he directly took out four pieces of gold material, then took out two transparent blank magic stones and placed them on top.
Waiting for the transparent magic stones to be completely filled with golden light, he swept away the remaining ashes.
First, he took out a golden magic stone, the first task was naturally skill extraction.
He summoned the Book of Adventure, turning to the extraction array page.
[Skill Extraction]
[Consume a golden magic stone to extract a skill?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes"
[Extracting skill...]
The extraction array in front of him began to glow with golden light and then slowly rotated as Kane's golden magic stone disappeared.
Golden light waves emanated.
And where Kane's golden magic stone disappeared, a skill stone appeared.
Kane directly checked the attributes of the skill stone in his hand.
[Name: Endless Expansion]
[Type: Active Skill]
[Hue: Golden]
[Description: Spend magic power to create a circle of magic ripples that expand outward in a circular shape. The more magic power, the greater the expansion range.]
[Introduction: A skill constructed with endlessness as the core, it expands limitlessly as long as there is magic power.]
The skill's description lacks any reference value.
After reading the skill's description, Kane still couldn't figure out what exactly this skill's purpose was?
Spending magic power to create a circle of outward-expanding magic ripples, what is its use?
However, Kane did not rush to use this skill stone right away, as the luck enhancement time is limited, only one hour.
Kane immediately took out the remaining golden magic stone.
Take advantage of this opportunity to use this magic stone first.
The principle still stands: extract one skill, upgrade one skill.
And the second skill for upgrade, Kane had already decided beforehand, no need to hesitate, he directly took out the skill stone of the Demi-God Incarnation.
Right now, no skill could enhance Kane's current strength more than this skill.
Then he took out a silver magic stone from his space equipment.
He placed the three items into the extraction array together.
[Upgrade this skill from silver to gold?]
[Yes] [No]
Yes
[Array in operation, please wait...]
[Girl praying...]
[Upgrade complete]
As the array flowed, golden light surged in front of Kane, lines encircling the array, beginning to sketch, flowing along with the array.
After a radiant display, the golden light flourished, then all sorts of effects vanished.
A brand new, smooth triangular metal piece shaped like a golden creation appeared in Kane's hand.
[Name: Divine Power]
[Type: Active Skill]
[Hue: Golden]
[Description: When using this skill, you will possess Divine Power, which holds various god-like attribute characteristics.
After using, the specific attribute characteristics will vary based on the divine power aura of the user. If the user has no divine power aura, divine power adaptation will select the most suitable one for the user.
Current divine power aura
1. Radiant Balance: Powerful Holy Light attribute, overall strength inclined towards offense, with judgmental power in use. Those wicked and guilty will suffer more severe damage.
This divine power must be used in the positive camp.
2. God of All Machines: Power to create something from nothing, enhancing any object with technological content, automatically learning mechanical magic.
This divine power must be used while maintaining one's essence, or it will inevitably slide towards Heart of Steel.]
[Introduction: In some worlds, the earliest extraordinary beings were called gods. They possessed unparalleled power and had strong presence in their realm, with their power unavoidably entangled with countless rules.
Remember, divine power is ultimately borrowed power, carrying an infectious nature, requiring one to maintain their mind and essence.]
(Secret Intelligence Department: Through our observation and research, to completely eliminate the side effects of this skill, you must elevate Smart Learning to the golden stage. Using Smart Learning simultaneously while using this skill can offset its side effects and preserve one's essence.)
Although the exact effect of this skill is unknown, this lengthy introduction and description alone suffice to show the skill's power.
