My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 58: Generous Rewards

"As expected, specialization talents can significantly enhance the comprehension speed of related combat skills."

Raine remembered it very clearly.

Whether in regular practice or during adventurous endeavors, he had already substantially increased the frequency of Shield Bash usage, but the combat skill that first surpassed 95% and guided him in his profession was the Armor-Piercing Strike.

This was undoubtedly the benefit brought by the earlier Hammer Mastery Lv1.

And now, after acquiring Hammer Mastery Lv2 from the Gray Dwarves, his improvement speed in Warhammer Combat Skills would undoubtedly accelerate further.

"Feels like Shield Bash is getting close too."

"It’s just this Freezing Ray..." Thinking about this earliest acquired Zero Level Spell, Raine slightly frowned.

"Is it because I don’t have the talent of a Caster?"

"It should not be." Raine glanced at the Intelligence in the attributes panel and shook his head slightly.

"It’s because this spell itself is quite difficult to cast; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few Casters."

"Wait, according to the specialization talents that can significantly enhance the speed of mastering a certain type of combat skill, if I could obtain a higher level of Frost Affinity, I could further increase the speed of learning related spells."

"And to obtain a higher level of Frost Affinity..."

In an instant, Raine thought of the towering Lankote Snow Mountain.

Undoubtedly, the towering snow-capped mountains and vast snowfields hold many demons with Frost Affinity.

Moreover, their Frost Affinity levels far surpass that of Mutated Goblins.

"It seems I still need to enhance my power. Even the lowest-level Winter Wolves of the tundra have a challenge level as high as three."

Raine had considered once again looking for three more Cold-Enhanced Mutated Goblins, combining four into one, which would likely result in acquiring a higher level of Frost Affinity.

But the problem is, how likely is it to find three goblins mutated towards the same direction—’cold’?

It’s like finding a needle in a haystack.

"And also... since I’ve mastered new Monster Skills, what reason should I have to showcase them in front of others?"

"For example, is there any spell that can achieve or approximate this Gigantification effect?"

Raine couldn’t help but ponder.

Unlike the previously mastered Acoustic Positioning, where the high-frequency sound waves were almost unnoticeable to the human ear, the Gigantification talent from the Gray Dwarves, once activated, is much more conspicuous.

Therefore, if most mages do not master similar ’Gigantification’ spells, showcasing it would make him extremely noticeable.

Similarly, there’s the stepping into darkness spell-like ability.

It’s not that it cannot be displayed, but when faced with questions from team members, it’s best to have a coherent and believable explanation.

"It seems for these issues... I need to find some time to visit the Dorne City Adventurer’s Association Branch and inquire with the Classes Trainer there."

As the branch at the city level, the Dorne City Adventurer’s Association Branch has trainers of all classes except Druids and Mages.

Of course, it’s not impossible to encounter mages in Mill Town.

As a favored location among adventurers, Raine had encountered several Official Mages and Mage Apprentices during this time, but the problem is, they were not acquainted, and most of the time, they were busy with their own tasks, making them unsuitable for consultation.

"Why not visit in the next couple of days? Taking advantage of the downtime while Chris and others recover from their injuries."

"Yeah, I’ll discuss it with Reya and others when we meet tonight."

Raine thought.

Suddenly, staring at the system panel, Raine froze slightly.

He saw in the attributes panel, the agility was now showing "6(+0.8)," instead of "5(+1)." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The ’Strong Lv1’ from the Cold-Enhanced Goblin Bloodline was still in the bloodline talents, but the boost had decreased.

"Is this... because my agility attribute increased?"

With a brief reflection, Raine understood the reason.

Whether it was the initial Dexterity Lv1 or Strong Lv1, all these physical attribute boosts had a note following them — ’under current physical fitness.’

This point is quite understandable; he couldn’t expect the Strong Lv1 from the Goblin Bloodline to still provide boosts when he becomes a high-level class one day.

"It shouldn’t be a sudden enhancement." Raine recalled that he hadn’t felt an abrupt attribute boost like that from the Wild Boar Warrior Bloodline.

"Is it the effect of training?"

"It should be."

This kind of gradual enhancement naturally doesn’t involve sudden changes, instead feeling more like a slow simmering progression, eventually leading to an increase.

"But why increase agility first, and not power?"

"Is it because the boost to power and constitution is too high?"

"Or is it due to frequently using Barbaric Charge recently?"

Soon after, Raine shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the sequencing issue.

He figured that enhancements in power and constitution were just around the corner.

Furthermore, regardless, it was a good thing.

This was a power truly his own, plus it increased his total agility from 6 to 6.8.

...

Evening.

Inside the Fireplace Bar.

Unlike usual, possibly due to the approaching Harvest Festival, there was a Halfling man playing a lute in the front row of the bar, and the lively music mingled with the clamor and the sound of clinking glasses.

The members of the Howling Hunter Squad were gathered together, and as the team leader, Reya was speaking:

"The mission reward is 50 silver coins."

"For killing two Gray Dwarves, the reward according to the association’s previous standard is 2 gold."

"Additionally, there’s a report on the related intelligence, including Raine’s mention of that foreman, who is indeed problematic and has now been taken into custody by the kingdom’s intelligence department."

At this, Reya glanced at Raine with a smile.

"Ultimately, the reward for intelligence, decided by the branch head Mr. Ramsey, is 3 gold."

Upon hearing this, Raine’s eyes gleamed slightly.

For two consecutive missions, the association had been rather generous with the rewards for intelligence.

No, it should be considered lavish.

"Setting new records again!" Chris couldn’t help but exclaim.

Then Reya smiled mysteriously, saying, "That’s not all; didn’t you forget? There’s also that piece of magic equipment, which, despite being damaged, is still valued at 4 gold and 78 silver after being appraised by the association’s appraiser."

Phew~

Everyone took a deep breath; it was worth that much?

If it were intact, wouldn’t it be worth several tens of gold?

"Raine, this time, I won’t be giving you any extra rewards." Reya said with a smile.

"Of course, I already took the Cold Steel Warhammer."

"After deducting 26 silver coins for our team’s healing costs and an additional 2 silver coins for hiring a carriage along with other minor expenses, there are still 10 gold left in total."

Soon, a rather striking amount per person was revealed — ’2 gold.’

"This is my first time dividing rewards using gold as a unit."

"Chris, you should think about the risks our team took."

Hearing the word "risks," Reya seemed to recall something; she lowered her beautiful eyes, fondled the wooden beer mug in her hand for a moment, then drained it in one go, saying:

"Hmm... today I have something important to announce."
