Fang Zhen saw that the number of skills to be solidified this time was similar to the last, perhaps a little fewer, but their quality was top-notch.

He had also discovered that as his strength increased, the skills solidified by the Instance Life Game became relatively fewer, but their quality was getting higher and higher.

Just as he was preparing to solidify them, a new dialog box suddenly popped up on the Instance Life Game interface.

"Detected that character ’Fang Zhen’ has reached a critical overall power level. The Instance Life Game will now undergo a version upgrade."

Version Upgrade Details: The skill bar and item bar will be optimized. A more intuitive standard for rating skill and item levels will be provided.

Similar skills belonging to character ’Fang Zhen’ will undergo an intelligent fusion. The original basic skills will be merged into skill systems, upgraded into the form of a Skill Tree.

On the new skill page after the upgrade, character ’Fang Zhen’ will see his own Skill Trees, which will provide systematic paths for learning and solidifying future developments."

"The item bar will provide item level ratings, intuitively displaying the levels of items and equipment."

Fang Zhen’s eyes lit up when he saw this.

"Oh?"

’Something this good? A free version upgrade, no less.’

He had been feeling for a while that he was learning more and more skills.

Of course, having more skills was a good thing; it meant he was getting stronger. They just seemed a bit chaotic and unsystematic. But now, he had an unexpected opportunity for a free upgrade to organize them into a proper system.

This made Fang Zhen feel that the Instance Life Game had new features and new feedback for him.

Moreover, it would make his skills more intuitive and help him find a direction for future improvement.

In short, it would be extremely helpful for his development.

His interest piqued, he moved the mouse over to the detailed display on the page to take a closer look at the notes regarding the Skill Tree system.

"The Skill Tree system will intelligently determine the skill lines that character ’Fang Zhen’ will likely develop in the future.

The early stage of free skill development was part of the data collection phase. The fused skills will be more systematic and clearer, and will offer predictive skill branches.

Your existing skills will not be erased. Instead, they will be integrated to form a complete whole. Furthermore, this skill upgrade will provide more complete conditional cultivation paths, but the skills the character acquires in the future will not be restricted by these paths.

This upgrade and integration is merely to better assist character ’Fang Zhen’ in becoming a more powerful player, not to restrict him."

Fang Zhen laughed after reading this note. "Nice." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

This was exactly what he needed. In fact, if the Instance Life Game hadn’t offered this upgrade, he would have tried to organize them himself eventually.

Otherwise, it would all feel too chaotic.

But now, at this crucial moment, not only did the Instance Life Game offer to integrate them, but it was also doing it for free. This left Fang Zhen feeling very pleased.

"Do you wish to proceed with the Instance Life Game version upgrade?"

Having already made up his mind, Fang Zhen naturally clicked "Confirm."

Instantly, he saw golden flames erupt across the game interface on his computer screen. After burning for a moment, the Instance Life Game’s interface transformed into a new look.

Fang Zhen clicked to enter and discovered a new skill page inside, which contained several Skill Trees.

He clicked on them one by one and found they were divided into several major categories.

They were divided into major sections like Basic Skills, Weapon & Equipment Skills, Support Skills, Life Skills, and Mental Traits. There was even a meticulously separated category labeled "Other."

Fang Zhen looked at his previous skills.

For example, all his firearm-related skills had been turned into a Skill Tree under the Weapon & Equipment Skills section. Meanwhile, the Mental Traits he had previously unlocked, such as ’Heart of Flames,’ ’Mechanical Heart,’ and ’Commander-in-Chief’s Heart,’ had been moved into the Mental Traits category.
