“So, you agree?”
Wu Qiliang looked at Wei Kai expectantly.
Wei Kai stroked his chin and thought for a moment: “I need to think about it overnight. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Wu Qiliang smiled and said, “If you’ve thought it through, come to the Police Department tomorrow to complete the onboarding.”
Wei Kai nodded: “Okay, I will consider it carefully.”
After finishing the serious matters, Wu Qiliang stood up to leave.
Wei Kai wasn't in a hurry to leave. He drank his milk tea while searching online for news about the Foreign Affairs Group.
The results greatly disappointed him.
There was very little information about the Foreign Affairs Group online. Even on the Police Department’s official website, there was only a small line of introduction.
“Foreign Affairs Group: Subordinate to five action teams, specifically responsible for handling emergencies in the wild.”
Although the introduction was simple, Wei Kai still understood the main work content of the Foreign Affairs Group.
“Handling emergencies in the wild... that means they are mainly responsible for external affairs.”
“No wonder they handled it after Chen Xianchi reported the case.”
“This is good too. If they’re responsible for external affairs, there won’t be so many messy things.”
Compared to people in the city, Wei Kai still preferred dealing with monsters in the wild.
Because monsters were purer; it was just a fight on sight.
After reading the online information, Wei Kai sent a message to Tian Xiaoling.
“Ling Jie, can you help me check the information on the Foreign Affairs Group’s First Action Team, and also their captain, Wu Qiliang?”
Less than a minute after the message was sent, Tian Xiaoling replied.
“No problem, I’ll tell you the results tonight.”
“Thanks.”
After sending this message, Wei Kai stood up and left the milk tea shop.
Stepping out of the shop, the lingering glow of the sunset had gradually faded, with only the last bit of light stubbornly holding on.
The time had already reached 6:03 PM, less than half an hour until dark.
The streetlights were gradually lighting up, and various snack stalls appeared on both sides of the street.
People living in the city began to bustle for the upcoming night market.
Wei Kai thought for a moment and finally got on the bus heading to the Warrior Guild.
This return to the city, besides getting good rest, had two things that must be completed.
First was learning skills.
The second was getting new equipment.
As for skills, Wei Kai had already thought it through.
Besides his two basic skills, “Upward Slash” and “Downward Slash,” he had also learned three main skills: “Charge,” “Whirlwind Slash,” and “Provocation.”
These three skills were primarily area-of-effect, mainly for leveling up.
But now that he was Level 20, his main goals, besides fighting bosses, were to complete the first-tier class advancement quest.
The class advancement quest was fixed, but different first-tier classes had different quest requirements.
What Wei Kai needed to do now was to leverage his strengths and compensate for his lack of single-target skills.
This was to cope with different quest scenarios and successfully complete the first-tier quest.
Among the Warrior’s single-target skills, the three most useful were Crippling Strike, Armor-Piercing Strike, and Chain Strike.
The names of these three skills seemed plain, but their effects were excellent.
Crippling Strike’s effect was to make the enemy enter the “Crippled” state, slowing down their movement speed.
Movement speed included movement speed, attack speed, casting speed, and so on.
Once in the “Crippled state,” any of the enemy’s actions would become “slow motion,” allowing them to be hit without being able to make effective defense or counterattacks.
The effect of Armor-Piercing Strike, just like its name, was specifically used against high-defense bosses, directly reducing the opponent’s defense by half.
It was an excellent weapon against bosses!
The effect of Chain Strike was also just like its name.
After casting, it would launch seven continuous attacks on the target, each stronger than the last!
All three skills were good, but unfortunately, Wei Kai only had two skill points available. The last skill point had to be reserved for new skills after class advancement.
These two skill points were extra ones he obtained after consuming a “Spirit Elixir.”
If he hadn’t had these two Spirit Elixirs, skill points would have been even scarcer.
If it were before, Wei Kai would have unhesitatingly chosen “Crippling Strike” and “Armor-Piercing Strike.”
Because their effects were very powerful, much stronger than Chain Strike, which only had attack frequency and damage.
But after acquiring the “Transformed Golden Cudgel,” Wei Kai’s choice became “Crippling Strike” and “Chain Strike.”
The reason was the Golden Cudgel’s “Internal Injury” effect.
Once in the “Internal Injury” state, subsequent blunt weapon attacks would become true damage that ignored defense.
Compared to true damage, what was armor penetration?
True damage was the most real damage!
And to inflict the “Internal Injury” state, the Golden Cudgel’s attack special effect must first be triggered.
This required a higher attack frequency.
Chain Strike could deliver seven attacks in one move, perfectly meeting the requirement. Moreover, after inflicting the Internal Injury state, subsequent attacks would directly convert to true damage.
It was simply a perfect match for the Golden Cudgel!
Deep in thought, the Warrior Guild was soon reached.
After getting off the bus, Wei Kai walked straight into the hall and quickly arrived at the counter selling skill books.
But before he could even speak, a burly man pushed his way in.
“Give me one Crippling Strike and one Armor-Piercing Strike.”
The burly man finished speaking and laid out a bank card.
“None,” the clerk responded blandly.
“How can there be none?!”
The burly man was first stunned, then somewhat annoyed.
“There just isn’t any,” the clerk shrugged and said, “If you want them, you can pre-order them, and we’ll notify you when they’re in stock.”
“Then I’ll pre-order.”
“A two hundred thousand deposit.”
“Why don’t you just rob us?!” the burly man exclaimed loudly, immediately attracting a lot of attention.
Wei Kai also couldn't help but speak: “I remember the price of these two skill books was only four hundred thousand, right?”
“That was two days ago,” the clerk glanced at him and said, “Now it’s five hundred thousand. The deposit is twenty percent, one hundred thousand per book, so two hundred thousand for two.”
“It went up by one hundred thousand in just two days?” Wei Kai was dumbfounded.
Are even Warriors starting to lack skill books?
“Take it or leave it!” the clerk said impatiently, “If you don’t want it, plenty of others do!”
“I want them!”
The burly man gritted his teeth, slammed his bank card down, and said, “Pre-order two for me!”
“Wait.”
The clerk sneered, casually picked up the bank card, and went to process the transaction.
Wei Kai watched speechlessly from the side, not expecting that not only were skill books unavailable, but the clerk had also become so arrogant.
His attitude was as if others owed him money.
Just as he was thinking, the clerk had already finished the process and casually tossed a receipt and the bank card onto the counter.
“Done, next!”
Wei Kai was about to step forward to inquire, but then he heard the burly man’s scream.
“Still have to queue?!”
