Chapter 14: 013 Becoming Someone Else's Topic ``` Because of the "Heaven's Grace" unique skill, Shane was able to easily acquire skills that would take ordinary people years, or even a lifetime, to master. Additionally, he would receive the maximum skill points with each level-up, making it exceptionally easy to upgrade skills. The fact that the magic tester equipped by the adventurer's guild could only detect skills below Level 7 showed that the guild probably did not believe anyone could easily acquire skills above Level 7. Furthermore, individuals with average talent would receive fewer skill points, and if a large number of skill points were needed to upgrade a skill, it would be virtually impossible to elevate the skill by much. How many people could have Level-up Skills? Even if one could own them, how many could an average person possess? Whether in terms of levels or skills, the extent of a person's growth depended on their aptitude and potential, which proved that even if someone exceptionally talented could fully master one skill, it was unlikely they could master too many. Humans could not be perfect; even if they could effortlessly acquire skills in which they excelled, they could not easily gain skills in other areas, let alone upgrade them easily. At least, according to the guild staff, neither gods nor Demon Kings could receive a full one hundred skill points with each level-up, and at most, there might be a few occasions where they gained the full one hundred. Moreover, from the mouths of the guild staff, Shane also learned that different skills varied in the amount of skill points required to learn and upgrade them due to their effects. No one had ever only needed one skill point to learn any skill, let alone upgrading skills. Generally speaking, the more powerful a skill's effect, the more skill points were required to learn and upgrade it. Additionally, the higher a skill's level, the more skill points were needed for upgrades. However, due to the effects of "Heaven's Grace," Shane received the full one hundred skill points each time he leveled up, and needed only one skill point to learn and upgrade each skill. This was something even gods and Demon Kings could not achieve. Moreover, Shane now understood the terrifying power of his Holy Sword. Not to mention anything else, just the ability to increase his level by one hundred seemed extremely daunting to Shane in his current state. It should be known that in this world, Level 10 was Level 100. Thus, wielding the Holy Sword, Shane was already equivalent to Level 10 and could even stack more levels onto himself. ("Could I already be invincible in this world?") "Since I am an adult now and have reached Level 10, I should be able to become an adventurer, right?" Shane addressed the guild staff in front of him. "Yes." The guild staff nodded immediately, picked up a quill and parchment, and began making some records. As he did so, he spoke. "We will initially register you as an adventurer, but since your level is still low and you are a newbie, for your own safety, our guild will arrange for you to join an established adventurer team. This will allow you to become accustomed to taking on and completing tasks. If you can earn the recognition and recommendation of the adventurer team within a month, you will then be granted the official status of an adventurer and receive an adventurer's badge." That is to say, if within a month Shane could not earn the recognition and recommendation of the adventurer team, he would have to withdraw from the adventurer path. It made sense when one thought about it. Adventurers often faced life-and-death battles with Demons and interacted with various clients, some of whom held very high status. To complete various tasks, knowledge and skills in many areas were required. It was unrealistic to think one could easily become an adventurer, complete a slew of tasks, and earn vast amounts of money as in games or novels. The adventurer's guild, being an organization that spread across the globe, would not have reached its current status without a considerable reputation and fame. If its missions were easily ruined by incapable individuals or went unfulfilled for too long, public questioning would arise. Therefore, becoming an adventurer required passing assessments. "This is your license, acknowledging your temporary right to accept tasks from the adventurer's guild. You may enter and exit Lamijion freely without paying entry fees. The license is valid for one month, so please keep it safe." The guild staff handed Shane a piece of parchment tied with a string, resembling a scroll. "Please report to the guild tomorrow morning. The adventurer team assigned to you will be awaiting you here." Upon hearing this, Shane took the license and thanked the guild staff before leaving the guild. The adventurers present watched Shane's departure and began conversing once he exited the guild. From this moment on, the news of a newbie adventurer who had reached Level 10 without any skills quietly spread within a small circle. Just as Shane anticipated, he would temporarily become others' topic of conversation. ``` Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
