CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 416 SKILLS UPGRADE

Kane looked at the Skill Stone in his hand and then at the description on it.

The cooldown time for this skill is too long.

And there’s only a fifty percent chance of gaining good luck.

When rolling the dice, if luck is not on your side, it’s likely to keep bringing misfortune.

Kane thought for a moment before placing the copper-level Skill Stone into his Skill Grid.

As the Skill Stone was placed into the Skill Grid, knowledge and a familiar feeling came to him.

At this moment, Kane was able to mobilize the energy on the Skill Stone to use the skill.

Following the knowledge in his mind and the inexplicable experience on his body, Magic Power began to twist within his body before surging out.

The surging Magic Power began to condense in his hand.

It seemed to be extracting something from the Void, and from the knowledge in his head, he knew that the energy group in his hand was drawing in luck and misfortune from the Void.

Feeling the energy fluctuations, Kreya and the others resting in the surrounding rooms cast curious glances towards him.

They all knew that Kane was extracting a skill again.

However, nowadays, when Kane extracts skills, they generally don’t come over to watch anymore. They might have been curious before, but after getting used to it, they no longer find it that interesting.

Yet, they are still very interested when Kane uses a new skill.

Under their gaze, the high-energy group in Kane’s hand gathered. It seemed to be pulling something, causing the surrounding air to warp slightly.

Finally, the energy group in his hand took on a tangible form, becoming a cube with six faces.

Kane carefully examined the dice in his hand, noting that three sides connected, showing dots ranging from one to three.

The dots were red, symbolizing luck.

In contrast, the other three sides symbolized black misfortune.

The rest of it was white; if Kane hadn’t personally condensed it, it might not be easy to tell it apart from other dice.

Lilu was floating two meters away, watching Kane condense the Lucky Dice with great interest.

Looking at Lilu, Kane suddenly thought of something and said, "Lilu, come over and sit on my shoulder, lend me a bit of luck, how about it?"

"Sure! Sure!" Regarding such matters, Lilu rarely refused, and with a flash, she was on Kane’s shoulder.

Luck itself isn’t something that can easily be lent out, but perhaps it can be passed on.

Sitting on Kane’s shoulder would at least serve as some psychological comfort.

Hearing Kane’s words and his actions, Kreya and the others understood that this skill must be related to luck.

It should be a skill with a certain probability.

Kane exhaled lightly.

And gently tossed the dice in his hand into the air.

When the dice rotated in the air, everyone’s attention in the room was drawn to it.

Subsequently, the dice fell onto the table in everyone’s gaze.

Balancing on one corner, the dice spun on the table.

Red! Red! Red!

Watching the spinning dice, Kane couldn’t help but shout in his mind.

As long as it’s a red dot, even one point doesn’t matter. Please don’t land on the black dot and bring myself more misfortune.

However, perhaps his thoughts were heard by the universe.

When you wish for something, it often doesn’t come true.

The dice slowed to a stop, the small black dot prominently displayed in Kane’s view.

"Damn!"

Witnessing this scene, Kane couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Is his luck this bad? With a fifty percent chance, he rolled the black side that increases misfortune.

Although it wasn’t the three-point black, it still came to two points.

As the two-point black was rolled, the dice transformed into a stream of black energy, which then drilled into Kane’s body.

Watching the black energy enter his body.

What does 1.5 times misfortune feel like?

Kane would soon find out the answer to this question.

"What just drilled into your body?" Kreya asked nervously.

Even though Kreya and the others didn’t know what the black mist symbolized, they could feel that it wasn’t something friendly.

So they couldn’t help being worried for Kane.

Hearing Kreya’s tone, Kane shook his head and said, "It’s okay, don’t worry. This is the core skill I extracted, which can increase luck or misfortune. Just now, my luck wasn’t good, and I drew misfortune, so I’m in a state of bad luck now."

"How long does this state last?" Kreya asked with concern, "It can’t be permanent, right? That would be too ridiculous."

Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane chuckled and shook his head, "How could it be permanent? It will only last for an hour, it’s fine."

Honestly, Kane was curious to experience what increased misfortune felt like, and whether obvious unlucky situations would occur.

Kane stood up and started pacing around the living room.

Longbei and they kept their eyes on Kane, wanting to see what kind of situations might arise.

Kane swaggered around the living room, seemingly without encountering any unexpected situations.

After watching for two minutes, Lilu finally got bored.

Decided to ignore it further, she opened a rainbow-colored Teleportation Gate, intending to bring out her rainbow butterfly mount to play for a while.

Perhaps she hadn’t chosen the right moment to open the rainbow gate because as it opened,

a rainbow-colored figure flew out from the gate at high speed, heading straight for Kane.

However, because Kane was testing how unlucky he was, he had his Divine Martial Gaze activated, so he slightly lowered his head and easily avoided the butterfly’s charge.

This, is this how misfortune manifests? Luckily it’s manageable.

Seeing this scene, Kane couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved.

However.

The butterfly flew directly into the cup next to it, and by a stroke of bad luck, the cup was sent flying towards Kane.

But the quick butterfly dodged it, and so, of course, did the cup.

Kane dodged it with a slight sidestep, but the water inside the cup spilled right at that moment, soaking Kane’s pant leg.

Kane continued to step back and happened to step on the spilled water, causing him to nearly slip. Luckily, he quickly grabbed onto a nearby chair, steadying himself.

Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the chair broke, and Kane finally fell to the ground.

Kane lay on the ground like this, looking up at the stone ceiling above.

I’ve underestimated this bad luck, I apologize.

Kane understood all this. What he couldn’t understand was how ordinary water could be so slippery; the floor was supposed to be textured.

When Kane dodged the cup just now, he relaxed for a moment, and when the water spilled, he instinctively took a step back, which caused him to fall.

Too careless.

Lulu and Kreya on the side looked on in shock at this scene.

Kane’s entire set of movements as he fell was so fluid, with none being superfluous.

They also realized how ridiculous the bad luck brought on by Kane’s skill was.

It gave a completely reasonable yet unreasonable feeling.

Lulu silently retrieved the rainbow butterfly that had hit the table and distanced herself from Kane.

Kane shook his head and stood up, then looked over at Longbei and the others.

Even as Kane stared at them, Longbei and the others involuntarily took a step back.

The small actions yet such damaging effects.

They seemed to think this bad luck was contagious.

Seeing that Kane still wanted to come over, Longbei immediately stopped him: "Hey buddy, how about you just sit over there for a while, it’s only an hour, it’ll pass in no time."

Seeing his teammates so inconsiderate of their comrade’s feelings, Kane stood helplessly in place.

Although there were chairs beside him, he didn’t dare to sit.

He feared the chair would suddenly collapse, causing him to fall to the ground.

So before the bad luck fades away, it’s better to just stand still and not do anything unnecessary.

As time passed, it seemed the earlier unfortunate incidents had used up the bad luck.

In the following 50 minutes or so, Kane stood still without anything unlucky happening.

Beside him, Longbei and the others watched Kane intently, periodically checking the surroundings to see if anything unlucky would happen to Kane while standing still.

As one hour reached its end, a wisp of black mist emerged from Kane’s body, then dissipated into the air.

Seeing this, Lulu quickly waved the air in front of her, afraid the bad luck would get onto her.

No one wants to endure such unlucky things.

Kane returned to the sofa to sit down.

The benefits of this skill haven’t been experienced, but the drawbacks have been thoroughly showcased.

However, with such evident drawbacks, the benefits surely won’t be bad either.

Still, the cooldown period is a week, which is a bit too long.

But Kane now plans to upgrade this skill to silver, becoming a higher-level skill, hence refreshing its cooldown naturally.

He summoned the [Book of Adventure] again.

He removed the [Lucky Dice] skill from his skill grid and then took a copper magic stone from his space equipment, along with five silver magic stones, taking out one of them.

He placed the three items into the extraction array together.

[Upgrade this skill from Copper → Silver?]

[Yes][No]

Yes

[Array is operating, please wait...]

[Upgrade complete]

With the rotation of the array and a burst of brilliance,

a brand-new silver metal piece appeared in Kane’s hand.

This is the appearance of the upgraded new skill, the rune design on it had a slight change, still featuring a complete four-leaf clover pattern.

However, the green glow on the design was more prominent.

The main thing is to first check the skill description, this is of utmost importance, hoping for a good enhancement.

[Name: Angel Dice]

[Category: Active Skills]

[Color: Silver]

[Explanation: Spend magic power to condense in your hand an eight-sided dice imbued with lucky magic, with four sides representing luck numbered 1234, and four sides representing bad luck numbered 1234.

You can then toss the dice into the air, when the dice lands with one face up on a flat surface, it represents the bonus you will get.

Red points signify luck, 1 point of luck stays the same, 2 points of luck give a 1.5x bonus, 3 points give a double bonus, 4 points a triple bonus.

Black points signify bad luck, 1 point of bad luck remains the same, 2 points give 1.5 times the current luck as bad luck, 3 points give double the current luck as bad luck, and 4 points give 2.5 times the current luck as bad luck.

The effect of the roll lasts for an hour, with a cooldown of 5 days before the next roll can be made. If you’re willing to spend magic power, this time can be shortened.]

[Description: It’s impossible to gain luck out of thin air, but you can gain luck by paying a price, this is not an issue. Remember, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.]

First, compared to the copper level, the name changed, and it changed from a six-sided to an eight-sided dice.

The effects of luck remain unchanged, but the effects of bad luck are weakened quite a bit compared to the luck effects.

Most importantly, the cooldown changed from 7 days to 5 days, and it can also be quickly recovered by using magic power.

This skill is mainly useful when Kane extracts skills, and at those times Kane has no shortage of magic power.

Such an upgrade change is more in line with Kane’s wishes.

Not to mention luck has been enhanced, and bad luck has been reduced.
