Chapter 17 - 17: Learning New Skills
Luna looked at Li Wei on the screen with a difficult face.
"Why does someone still have that skill crystal? Weren't they all destroyed?" she asked feeling something wrong.
Sera shrugged. "Someone must have hiding the crystal secretly and is now taking it out for fun," she replied, not caring too much.
Luna's expression became even more difficult after hearing her.
"But there was a reason why those skill crystals were destroyed," she explained, unsure of what to do next.
"We can't do anything, and the crystal doesn't break any rules because it was made for the people to use. So, it's not a problem as long as he doesn't do something stupid," Sera calmly replied, glancing at Li Wei on the screen.
"Do you really think he won't do something stupid?" Luna inquired with doubt.
"Hmm, let's see. He might not do it, but the problem is under what conditions he got that skill crystal. If that person asked him to do something like that, then I am not sure," Sera answered, shaking her head, but her expression remained calm.
"Just who is that person that can block our screen and can even get their hands on a skill crystal like that?" Luna questioned, her face puzzled, as they weren't able to watch what happened inside the adventurers' guild because the person intervened, blocking their screen.
Sera chuckled at her. "Hehe, just watch. It will be more fun now. I wonder how those gods would feel after learning that someone possesses that kind of skill," she replied, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

Li Wei looked at the description of the eternal learning skill, with a difficult face. The skill was too overpowered if it can really let him learn the skills with levels.
'Did I make a stupid decision?' he asked himself. He felt like he was getting dragged into some horrible plot.
'Ah, anyway, there's no use in thinking. I should brainwash some heroes first so they can do the work for me,' he thought and turned towards Li Xin.
"XinXin, let's go to a nearby open area. We will try our new skills first," he suggested, now that he has the skill he wanted to try.
"Un," Li Xin nodded and followed him with an eager expression. She too wanted to try her new skills.
As they proceeded towards the open area, Li Wei pondered about the skill system.
The skills were divided into different tiers, from 'Basic tier' to 'SSS tier.' However, each has a level limit, and for basic skills, it is Level 10.
If they wanted to level up the skill further, they have to upgrade the 'basic tier skill' to an 'advanced tier skill.' and further if they want to level up more.
But the system only provided 5 skills for each main class to upgrade, and they could upgrade these skills to the highest tier as long as they have money to buy them.
As for the other skills, they couldn't be upgraded through the system, but it was possible to upgrade them using a skill crystal with a higher-tier skill.
They could also upgrade through other means as long as they held a higher-tier skill that they wanted to upgrade.
However, they can't upgrade any Special Class Skills because they don't have any tiers, but they do have a certain level cap that will be unlocked after their class upgrades.
Arranging the information in his head, Li Wei contemplated about his situation.
'With my Jack-of-all-Trades class, I can't buy skills above 'Advance,' which means I can't upgrade further. But now, with this 'Eternal Learning' skill, I can do it,' he thought.
With the Eternal Learning skill, he can just learn the skills and didn't have to
He stored the goblin's body inside the item box and headed back to the quest location with Li Xin.
This time he didn't hesitate anymore and directly sprinted towards four goblins.
*Grwaaa* The goblins roared in anger and charged towards Li Wei.
"Fireball," "Frost Nova," "Charge," "Divine Protection," Li Wei shouted loudly, activating skills one by one.
*Boom! Swoosh! Sizzle!*
The fireball and frost nova hit the four goblins, damaging them.
*Grwaaaa*
All goblins roared in pain, slowing their advance towards him.
"Slash," Li Wei once again used the skill, attacking them as a holy light barrier surrounded him.
*Grwaaa*
The goblins also attacked, seeing the incoming attack on them. However, Li Wei didn't defend against it and let it hit the barrier.
*Clang! Hum!*
A metallic sound rang as the goblins' swords failed to penetrate his holy barrier.
"Die," Li Wei shouted, slashing his sword with force and beheading one of them.
*Grwaaa*
Watching one of them dying, they charged towards him with all their power.
"Hmph," Li Wei snorted coldly at them.
"Divine Smite," "Footwork," "Slash," he once again used the skills one by one, attacking them.
*Gwaa* All three goblins roared loudly, and they continued fighting.
*Boom! Clang! Thud! Bang!* Their battle sound echoed around as Li Wei continued to behead them one by one.
Finally, after a few minutes, Li Wei beheaded all of them.
"It's really hard to kill them. If it's not for my attribute limit, it would've been easier," he murmured.
His attribute limit was making things difficult for him. If not for this time he reserved his strength, he would have no choice but to run.
"Brother, are you all right?" Li Xin asked with concern. After all, the fight lasted longer than she thought.
"I am all right. Let's go. We should go back and get rewards for completing the quest. Also, we have to make our party bigger," Li Wei expressed his thoughts.
There was no way he could go on like this, especially since he needed others to use skills in front of him.
He started thinking about how he should get party members as he headed back to the city to submit the quest.
[Ding, Congratulations to the party Order of the Abyss for clearing the quest and receiving the rewards]
Li Wei looked at the notification after he submitted his quest and proceeded back to the inn with Li Xin.
"The quest was worth a total of 10,000 coins, with profit sharing, It became 5,000 coins each, while I received 50,000 coins. It would have been better if I could accept the quest alone, but it's a pity they rejected me, saying you must have 2 or more people with party," Li Wei sighed a little, thinking of his first day as an adventurer.
"Brother, what should we do about the party?" Li Xin asked because many quests needed 3 or more people.
Li Wei looked at a certain shop, thinking of something.
"Well, there are no slaves here, but there is a servant system. Let's go. We should first eat and then head there later," he suggested, heading back to the inn first.
