Chapter 165: Skill points
The ride back was silent.
Su Chen didn't say anything since he seemed to be thinking about something, but I also was lost in thought, so I didn't say anything.
When he dropped me off, Su Chen said, "I'll come pick you up in three days. The guild master said that you can have a few days off to rest up after the exam."
I gave a nod and waved my hand to thank him before heading up.
As he walked away, Su Chen looked at him with a complicated look.
It was only when he had gone up that Su Chen drove off in his car.
It was already late at night, so there weren't many people that were walking around.
I didn't waste any time heading into my apartment either since there was something else that I wanted to do.
After sitting down, the first thing that I did was…let out a long sigh of relief.
This really had been a long few days.
Even last night, I didn't really get much sleep…
So I really wanted to lay in bed and hibernate right now, but there was something else for me to do first.
After that long sigh, I sat up again and opened up the system interface.
I took a look at my new stats.
Name: Lin Fan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Level: 14
Experience: 323/14000
Job: Demon King of Lust
Skills: Hypnosis (Level 4), Time Stop (Level 1), Eyes of Lust (Level 1)
Skill points: 6
Strength: 43
Agility: 45
Intelligence: 21
Vitality: 51
These stats, they really were different from before.
Other than my intelligence, everything had exploded compared to before.
That was all a result of Su Chen's training.
It was because of that training that I now had abilities that were far beyond the normal person.
But there was also a part of it that was from leveling up.
Each level up had given me one stat point for each of my stats, so that had also helped me grow.
However, what I cared about today were these skill points.
I gained one of these points for each level up and I had been using them to level up the Hypnosis skill previously.
The first level up had been one point, the second had been two points, and the third had been four points.
It seemed that the points required to level up a skill increased with each level the skill increased by.
So level five costs eight skill points to level up.
I had been saving up my points the entire time for that level up since I thought that the Hypnosis skill would be the most useful one.
But now…I had different thoughts.
Instead of saving up my points, it would be better for me to level up another skill before focusing on Hypnosis.
I was planning on putting some points into the Time Stop skill.
I had always thought that Hypnosis would be my most important skill, but now I realized how important the Time Stop skill was.
It was my only life preservation skill, so ten minutes was far from enough.
If I ever encountered a strong person and I needed to run away, I would need more than ten minutes.
Plus, I knew how to get more points now, so it didn't matter if I put points into this skill.
Taking a deep breath, I pressed the plus button on the screen in front of me and leveled up the Time Stop skill.
But I only pressed it once to level it up to level two.
Once I had done that, I immediately checked the description of the new level two Time Stop skill.
"It's gone up to an entire hour!" I couldn't help saying in a surprised voice.
I had thought that it would double in time to twenty minutes, but it turned out that it went up to an entire hour.
This wasn't a small increase in time limit since an hour was definitely more than enough to deal with most situations.
But I still had skill points left.
So I pressed the plus button again and leveled up the Time Stop skill to level three.
"Six hours! It actually went up to six hours!"
I was filled with pleasant surprise when I saw this.
If I kept increasing this Time Stop skill, would I be able to freeze time indefinitely?
If that was the case, would anyone be able to do anything to me?
No, I can't say that.
I quickly forced myself to calm down as I faced the truth.
There were many different Awakeners out there with different powers, so there should be one that has the power to go against my Time Stop skill. I shouldn't let myself be too filled with confidence over this small matter.
I should still focus on becoming as strong as possible.
There weren't enough skill points left to increase the Time Stop skill by another level.
Level four required four skill points, but I only had three left.
But that meant that I had enough points to upgrade another skill.
The third skill that the demon king system had given me, the Eyes of Lust.
This was the skill that I had avoided using since it was the most despicable one out of the three, but now that I've made up my mind…
This skill would without a doubt be helpful to me in achieving what I wanted to achieve in the future.
Not to mention, it did have a very powerful ability that I had just avoided using up to now because of how I had felt.
But now that I've made up my mind, I should use anything and everything at my disposal.
So without any further hesitation, I pressed the plus button that was beside the Eyes of Lust skill twice. I just directly upgraded this skill to level three and used the rest of my skill points.
Skill points could be earned, but a life was something that each person only had a single one of.
If I lost my life while still having skill points left, I would surely regret it.
So it was better to upgrade my skills while I could.
