When Finn opened his eyes again, it was already several hours later. This time, the pain in his body disappeared and was replaced by a really comfortable feeling. He had felt this way when he first mastered the Body Multiplication skill, so he had an idea in his mind that the skill upgrade was most likely a success. Finn excitedly checked the status of the Body Multiplication skill with his Assist and found that Body Multiplication had really been upgraded to level 2.
Body Multiplication (Rank 2, Active Skill): All agility bonuses on the user's body are converted into strength and constitution bonuses at a ratio of one to two and one to one - and - a - half. After the conversion, the user's strength and constitution increase while the agility bonuses remain unchanged. It consumes 150 points of mana, and 2 points of mana per second after successful conversion.
"Awesome!" After seeing the new Body Multiplication effect, the usually calm Finn couldn't help but cheer loudly. Compared to the Level 1 skill, Level 2 Body Multiplication had a huge increase in the attribute conversion ratio. What excited Finn the most was that while the strength and physique increased after the conversion, the agility bonus would remain the same. This meant that when using Body Multiplication, he could not only increase his strength and physique, but also retain his original agility. In other words, Finn was able to have super strength and strong resistance like a Barbarian, while still maintaining the smooth attack rhythm and movement speed of a Thief, which was something that Level 1 Body Multiplication didn't have. If he had this ability when he faced the Silver - Maned Demon Leopard, Finn would have already used Body Multiplication to fight it.
"It looks like my wish to become a powerful 'Thief' may soon be realized!" After reaching the criteria for Level 2 Body Multiplication, Finn excitedly used Body Multiplication in the house.
Level 2 Body Multiplication was significantly different in appearance from Level 1. At level one, Finn's body would expand rapidly when he used Body Multiplication, but at level two, although it would also expand, Finn felt that this expansion was controllable. He tried to adjust how much his body expanded and soon changed from a giant - like strong man back to his original size.
"Great!" After regaining his original size, Finn smiled with satisfaction and excitedly slapped on the toilet wall. The twenty - centimeter - thick brick wall was slapped like tofu, leaving a washbasin - sized hole.
"Uh..." Finn shook his head, a bit depressed. Having just upgraded to the second level of Body Multiplication, he couldn't control the force very well yet. Looking at the large hole in the wall, he realized that it was foolish to test the abilities of his new body at home. Finn smiled bitterly before returning to his normal state.
Body multiplication was the main reason Finn chose the Thief profession. When he first looked up the information related to Body Multiplication in the auxiliary, he clearly understood the characteristics of this skill. He believed that having a powerful fighting ability and strong body that exceeded that of a Barbarian, coupled with a Thief's speed advantage and sensitivity, would definitely be strong in a real battle.
Finn was used to a life of relying on his strong body to charge into battle, and after becoming a Thief, the days of only being able to sneak around behind the scenes or always running away made it hard for him. With the Body Multiplication skill, Finn believed that the good days would come soon.
"Those who have bullied me, just wait. One day I will make you return what you took from me and spit out what you ate from me!"
Actually, Finn hadn't had a good few months. Although he had solved the basic problem of food and clothing by his own ability and still had a bit left over, in this world, the hard work of a level 10 solo small thief was unimaginable to Finn before he crossed over.
Before crossing over, as an otaku, he had a simple and happy life for a long time, fighting with his friends online and spending time with his girlfriend offline. But after coming to this world, Finn realized that his previous methods didn't work anymore.
Because of his lack of strength, he was robbed of his prey more than once by other adventurers or even mercenary groups, and once he almost lost his life because of it. Danger after danger made him realize that strength was important to survive in this world!
Being robbed but only able to endure it, Finn, who had never suffered such a big loss before, felt that this suffocating feeling was even worse than losing his life. He had worked hard to raise his strength despite everything, just because he didn't want to live such a miserable life anymore. Now that Body Multiplication had been raised to Level 2, Finn finally saw hope!
Just thinking that the day of becoming stronger was coming, Finn felt a very comfortable feeling in every cell of his body. He smiled faintly and confidently used his auxiliary to check the information of the next level of Body Multiplication.
Body Multiplication (Rank 3, Active Skill): All agility bonuses on the user's body are converted into strength and constitution bonuses at a ratio of one to two - and - a - half and one to two respectively, and agility bonuses are increased by fifty percent after body multiplication. It consumes 250 points of mana, and 3 points of mana per second after conversion.
Level required for upgrading: level 20, materials required for upgrading: three branches of Evil Energy Grass, four branches of Misty Flower, 150 grams of Black Polyhedral Crystal, two Carrion Dragon Fangs, 400 grams of Bloody Vine, 100 grams of Triangle Demon Rhinoceros Horn Powder, and 15 grams of Titanic Spiritual Energy Essence.
"My god!" Finn had been quite happy when he saw the effect of the Level 3 Body Multiplication skill. If the skill effect of Level 2 Body Multiplication could be said to be strong, then when Body Multiplication was upgraded to Level 3, it could be said to be amazing. In addition to the stronger attribute conversion ability of Level 3 Body Multiplication, the agility would also increase when converting, which meant that once entering the conversion state, aspects such as speed and dodging would also be raised to a new height. This was good news for Finn, but bad news for his enemies.
However, when Finn saw the requirements for upgrading his skills, he couldn't be happy. Rank twenty was fine, and according to this world's ability conversion, it should be the standard for a rank ten superhuman. Although it wasn't easy to reach the level of a tenth - level superhuman, with the help of the aids, there was still hope to reach that standard within a few months. But the materials needed for the upgrade depressed Finn. Each of these materials was worth more than five hundred crystal coins, and something like Titan Spiritual Energy Essence would cost thousands of crystal coins per gram. Fifteen grams would mean that more than ten thousand or even twenty thousand crystal coins would be gone. Finn roughly estimated the auction price, and it would take at least fifty - five to fifty - eight thousand crystal coins to collect all of these things. The money that Finn had been saving up for a couple of months didn't even make a fraction of that amount. Coupled with the fact that advancing to the level of a superhuman and remodeling his body would also require a lot of money, Finn suddenly had the feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to.
"In the past when I didn't have money, I could still sell blood. In this unlucky world, there's not even a place to sell blood. I'm really born with a hard - luck life..." As soon as he thought of all those materials needed for upgrading his skills, the bit of excitement he had felt before because of the Body Multiplication upgrade to the second level disappeared in an instant. Recognizing the reality, this poor guy could only accept it. He sighed as he simply cleaned up his place, and a few minutes later, Finn withdrew the soundproof boundary and went out the door.
