Staring at the game interface for a long time, Fang You finally snapped back to reality.
He exclaimed that the harvest was too great! Awesome!
Although most of the items were white-grade, the quantity was more than enough! Moreover, skill cultivation cards were essential items, and he could never have too many of them.
This time, he could unleash thunder like heavenly wrath. Though timing, location, and people were indispensable, the most fundamental was this expert-level Palm Thunder.
If it hadn't reached the expert level, Palm Thunder couldn't be fired. No matter how much the Burning Fire Belief amplified, what was the use?
Not far away,
Hei Tong's head poked out from the bedroom door and glanced at him, shaking his head.
This batch of pet owners was really not up to par.
…
Fang You first skipped the basic items he was already familiar with and focused his attention on a few brand-new treasures.
"Lesser Apostle Recruitment Voucher"!
"Description: Use this voucher to sign a contract with a 'qualified' person, recruit them as an organization apostle, and grant them lesser apostle treatment."
Self-recruitment was the key.
He couldn't directly "draw" an apostle.
It was precisely because of this that an item related to apostles was only "green" grade.
However,
What constituted a qualified target?
"The Salvation Game's assessment of conditions depends on talent and potential."
"It doesn't mean they need to possess innate extraordinary abilities like An Jianyou; that's unrealistic... Innate talent is clearly very rare, perhaps not even one in tens of thousands can be found."
"Combat aptitude, willpower, learning ability, etc., these can all be categorized as talent and potential."
Some people were naturally suited for combat.
Take him, for example. A normal person who had never even killed a chicken, yet he remained composed rather than panicked when facing a ghoul, and took it down on the spot.
Learning ability was also a factor.
The gap between a top student and a poor student was like a chasm.
Then there was Old Brother Hei Dao. He didn't have specific talent, but he had a strong physique, tenacious willpower, and terrifying combat aptitude.
He was ultimately rated as having blue-grade potential.
"Find a candidate with at least green-grade potential, trick him... sign a contract with special power, recruit him as a worker for Xin Huo, and give him the opportunity to become stronger."
"The problem lies in how to find such a candidate."
"Those who can awaken at this stage likely have higher potential, but..."
He only knew a few awakened individuals, and they were all from the Investigation Bureau. Currently, Xin Huo was too small and needed its own loyal personnel.
He still needed to search among ordinary people.
However, whether someone had potential or not couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Fang You's gaze fell on the reward for the first special mission.
"Skill: Detect (Blue)"
"Description: A Savior exclusive skill that can detect a target's status, skills, and general potential. The higher the rank, the less information can be detected."
Fang You stroked his chin.
It seemed like a very useful support skill, which would greatly help him find and expand Xin Huo's personnel.
He chose to use it.
"Ding!"
"Prompt: Do you wish to claim the skill 'Detect (Blue)'?"
This was a blue-grade skill, not to be underestimated.
Fang You's expression was solemn, fully prepared for the next moment to be tragic.
"Come on!"
A familiar spinning sensation. Numerous figures, both human and monstrous, flashed before his eyes. It lasted for a long time, yet it didn't seem tiring or painful.
That's it?
He learned the Detect skill just like that?
It was too easy, Fang You felt a bit unreal.
As he familiarized himself, the usage method of the 'Detect' skill flooded into his mind. As an eye-based skill, it felt similar to Ghoul Tracking and Ghoul Control, which he was already adept at.
After a few seconds of preparation, the beginner-level 'Detect' was skillfully used.
He aimed it at... himself in the mirror.
"Fang You"
"Physique: 5.6"
"Spirit: 3.5"
"Skills: Basic Swordsmanship, Ghoul Tracking, Palm Thunder"
"Abilities: %￥#@&"
"Potential: Unknown (Green or above)" (Click to view details)
Fang You stroked his chin, "It looks like a low-spec character panel, but with an added potential estimate. As expected, this Detect ability is meant for selecting personnel; it's a fated choice."
"This way, I can go out and search for potential, but besides potential, temperament is also important... In short, I can't be hasty."
Fang You's head started to ache with a little thought.
He decided to upgrade the Detect skill to proficient first; the beginner level was still too clunky to use.
With thirty-eight white-grade cultivation cards, Fang You declared himself wealthy.
With a wave of his hand, he upgraded as needed.
After a while, the world spun again. This time, the cultivation was a bit tiring. When Fang You finally emerged from the 'small dark room' and returned home, his eyes felt sore and his legs a bit weak.
Nothing else, just some physical exhaustion.
He opened his panel to check, and froze.
The proficiency was only 33% at beginner level. He had forgotten this was a blue-grade skill!
Fang You felt a pang of pain.
But since he had used it, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't level up the skill? Trembling, he used two more cards.
After a while,
He doubled down in the cultivation dark room. A long, long time passed, while only an instant elapsed in the outside world. Fang You returned home with vacant eyes.
Lazing around, like a perfectly deflated fatty.
At this moment, his life energy was almost depleted, but in terms of time management, since he wasn't planning to go out, converting his physical strength into power was the correct way to not waste time.
It was just a little bit tiring.
Taking advantage of his rest time, Fang You found an opportunity to look at the third special item—Skill Seed.
"Skill Seed (Blue)"
"Description: This is a blank Skill Seed. You can use skills to charge this seed, transforming it into the seed of a certain skill (this transformation is irreversible). Once transformed and nurtured with ghoul crystals, the Skill Seed can grow into a Skill Tree and bear Skill Fruits."
"Note 1: A blue Skill Seed can only inscribe skills of green grade or lower."
"Note 2: Only skills of expert level or above can be inscribed onto the Skill Seed."
"Note 3: Skill Fruits can only grant the 'special factor' for learning a certain skill; one still needs to cultivate it to achieve proficiency."
Simply put, using a skill book directly leads to 'Proficiency 0%', while using a skill fruit leads to 'Not Proficient 0%'.
But he had found a path.
This was crucial. Teaching skills like Blade Slash or Palm Thunder to others in reality was extremely difficult; the starting point was a bottleneck. Once proficient, practicing became much easier.
With Detect, Lesser Apostle Recruitment Voucher, and Skill Seed, the new batch of workers had a solid foundation.
The fifth destiny draw required 81 destiny points, so he wasn't far off.
He just needed to save up.
Everything was starting to look up.
And...
Fang You brought up his own panel, along with Hei Dao's and An Jianyou's. In the previous Ghoul Gate mission, they had killed countless ghouls. Therefore, logically speaking...
"Destiny: Savior"
"Mystery: 32.6!"
—
"Hei Dao"
"Mystery: 24.4!"
—
"An Jianyou"
"Mystery: 10.6"
Except for An Jianyou, he and Old Brother Hei Dao could undergo a secondary awakening!
