Bai Fu's gaze scanned across the two newly acquired skills.
Power Surge (Inferior), cooldown time 10 seconds, consumes 20 points of Spiritual Energy to increase Strength by 3 points but lasts only 60 seconds and reduces 20% of physical stamina, making it extremely cost-ineffective.
One must know that in the Stars above, physical stamina is closely linked to attributes; a reduction in stamina to a certain extent could temporarily lower attributes, causing either weakness as if hit by a dog or even fainting on the spot.
That Multiplicative Enhancement (Inferior) was even more trash; with a cooldown time of 1 second, it consumes 5 points of Spiritual Energy, and its effect is to reduce the duration of the next actively used skill's enhancement effect by 50%. Who would use this skill to sabotage themselves?
"No wonder the notes were named 'Some Valueless Spiritual Ability Prayers.'"
Bai Fu's mouth twitched.
Luckily, in the game, skills didn't occupy slots; otherwise, learning these two skills would've been a huge loss.
Just as she was checking to see if she had missed any books, she suddenly thought of something.
If these skills were used on herself or a teammate, the effect would be to increase their strength by 3 points for 30 seconds and then reduce their physical stamina by 20% after that.
But if she used it as an attack skill on an opponent, the skill description would change to drawing 20% stamina from the opponent after 30 seconds. The downside was that during the casting process, the opponent's strength would increase by 3.
Considering that a Spiritual Ability Apprentice is a fragile profession, it's usually impossible for them to use this set of combination skills on their opponents.
In the early stages of the game, 3 points of Power is not a trivial amount.
Using this combination skill on opponents could be risky; if an opponent got close, the caster might be killed by the opponent's increased strength before their stamina was even reduced.
But Bai Fu didn't have so many concerns.
She glanced at her high Constitution of 22 and smiled with relief, a tanky Spiritual Ability Prayer Master fears nothing!
"Finally, the trip wasn't wasted."
Bai Fu stood up, stuffing the notes back in their place.
She wandered around the library a few more times, making sure she hadn't missed any books related to Spiritual Energy, before heading to the External Affairs Department.
Since the boss of the Wildfire Gang had already contacted the Director of External Affairs, she immediately received a new task upon arrival.
[You have triggered the Camp Task [Turn the Tables]]
[Task Introduction: Despite the Wildfire Gang gaining the upper hand in the dispute with outsiders, a significant portion of its members fell into fear, their timid behavior significantly impacting the morale of the Wildfire Gang. The Director of External Affairs, extremely dissatisfied, hastily organized a surprise operation against the outsiders to regain momentum]
[Task Objective: Take advantage of the outsiders being unprepared and ambush their temporary stronghold established on the outskirts of the western area of the Abandoned Cooling Factory, demonstrate the might of the Wildfire Gang!]
[Reward: Reward is based on Contribution]
[Accept/Decline]
Bai Fu's eyes flashed.
After being severely beaten by the players' outrageous maneuvers, was the Wildfire Gang finally unable to sit still?
She clicked accept.
The Director of External Affairs tapped lightly on the desk, "Very well, go prepare. We'll meet back here in half an hour and start the operation formally."
"Half an hour?"
Bai Fu paused momentarily.
So urgent?
She had originally wanted to secretly inform the players to score a wave of Affinity, but half an hour was not enough for a round trip, so she had to abandon that idea.
Let's just complete the task today and apologize to the players tomorrow.
Bai Fu went to the logistics department and casually picked up a pair of goggles and a knife before returning to the External Affairs Department.
As the assembly began, she saw Cao Wenliang approaching from a distance and speaking quietly with the Director of External Affairs.
"Hmm?"
Bai Fu frowned slightly and quickly threw a Spiritual Vision Skill at the Director of External Affairs.
[Affinity]: Indifference (-3)
This value didn't pose a problem, but Bai Fu was not reassured.
Cao Wenliang emerging neither early nor late, strictly at this time, definitely harbored no good intentions.
"Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of me?"
Bai Fu felt it was very likely.
Especially after seeing the few people assigned to the same group as her, she was even more convinced.
Out of four people, besides one with a positive Affinity, the highest among the other three was only -25; no one would believe they weren't here on a mission.
Bai Fu kept her composure.
With a call of "Move out," she followed the main force to the temporary stronghold built by the players.
An hour later.
The setting sun sank, and night began to cover the sky.
In the ruins of the western area of the Abandoned Cooling Factory, the Director of External Affairs started making final arrangements: "Bai Fu, you and your group are responsible for the west side. Once you see the signal I send, don't hesitate and just charge in."
"No problem."
Bai Fu eagerly agreed, her gaze sweeping over the four people in her group.
After breaking away from the main forces, these few people would probably make their move, right?
She had been killing players the past few days, and it was time for a change of pace—she just wondered how much Experience these four would yield.
But the development of events was truly beyond her expectations.
