Chapter 35: Raising the Aura of Fear

PS: Shen Xu's second skill has been changed to hunting control, and it will be this skill in the future.

Leaving the attribute enhancement hall, Shen Xu went directly to the skill upgrade hall, and after paying the 500 point roll, an enforcer immediately led him to the upgrade room.

It's still the same as before, with only a huge virtual screen in the room, and nothing else, even sitting on the floor.

[Welcome to the 158746 Skill Upgrade Room, you have paid 500 bonds for the service fee, please select the skill you want to upgrade.] 】

Three skill names appear on the giant virtual screen, one for the Hunter Mark, one for the Hunt Master, and one for the Fear Aura.

To Shen Xu's surprise, the aura of fear this time was actually bright, meaning that it could be promoted, while the hunter mark was dark, meaning that it could not be promoted.

The proceeds of the main quest, plus his remaining Dream Coupons, add up to 30,000 Coupons.

30,000 points is a huge amount of money for a contractor who has experienced two derivative worlds, but for Shen Xu, he feels that this amount of money may not be enough.

Shen Xu tried to click on the hunter marker, but it was the first time he saw that the active skill was gray.

[The Hunter Mark cannot be upgraded, the Hunter Mark is a professional inheritance main skill and cannot be improved through the upgrade lobby.] 】

Shen Xu frowned, and then used his authority to ask about the method of promotion.

[The boost of the Hunter Mark is related to the energy gauge.] 】

After giving this hint, the Dream Space fell silent, and even if Shen Xu asked further questions, the Dream Space still said this.

Related to energy gauges? This range can be large or small, and the concept is rather vague. Shen Xu couldn't tell the difference for a while, and since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he could only put it down first.

After giving up the Hunter Mark, he clicked on the hunt control.

[Do you want to upgrade your hunting mastery?] For each level, you need to spend 1 Soul Crystal (small) × and 10,000 Dream Bonds. Additional rewards will be activated when you reach level 10. 】

Shen Xu turned off the upgrade prompt with a dark face, his soul crystals had been consumed.

Soul crystals are rare and have many uses, and he has tried all his strength, but he has not been able to obtain much. It's good now, there is a bottomless pit on his body that devours soul crystals, and Shen Xu can already imagine a difficult life in the future.

sighed, as expected, he had to pay what he got when he got it, his inheritance was too strong, and the resources needed to upgrade were naturally extremely huge.

Giving up on his plans to upgrade his hunting control, he clicked on the Aura of Fear.

The level of the fear aura has reached the highest, originally Shen Xu thought that it would be impossible to upgrade again, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as a golden skill point.

[Whether to use gold skill points to increase the fear aura.] 】

Shen Xu was not in a hurry to improve, he clicked on the machine spirit skill. What he didn't expect was that Dinigfeld's Glory MAX, Soul Form MAX, and Machine Spirit Form MAX could all be improved. There is only one golden skill point, and the latter is a skill that has just been mastered, and Shen Xu is not in a hurry to improve.

[You have chosen to increase the Fear Aura, the process will take about five minutes, please be patient.] 】

Five minutes later...

[The upgrade has been completed, and your special skill Fear Aura has been upgraded to MAX+, and its attributes have been greatly enhanced.] 】

Fear Aura :LV.MAX+

Skill Effect (Passive): All skills and basic attacks of the contractor increase the damage of the plot character by 15% (increase by 5%), and increase the failure rate of negotiation with the plot character by 20%. The contractor can activate the second effect, the Fear Aura, at any time.

Dread Aura (Main): The Dread Aura will envelop a 12-meter radius (3 meters lowered), and all enemy units in this area will be judged by willpower and mental power, and if you pass both decisions, you will be immune to this damage, and if you fail to make any of them, you will take 300 piercing damage. Failure to do so will result in Willpower ×5+Psychic ×5 Piercing Damage, as well as triggering the Fear Torment effect.

Fear Torment: For the next 10 seconds, the tormented person will trigger a Bleeding over time effect, losing 1% of their maximum health per second, which can be purified.

If the enemy unit is a story character, it will deal an additional piercing damage of ×1 true damage.

MAX+ Additional Effect: Willpower Determination Rank is permanently +1.

Cooldown: 10 hours.

Note 1: Special skills do not occupy skill slots.

Note 2: Once the charm attribute of the owner of the fear aura breaks through zero, the fear aura will be invalidated, and if the charm attribute in the three derivative worlds does not recover to zero, the fear aura will disappear.

Looking at the attributes of the fear aura, Shen Xu was even more satisfied, before the fear aura only had one willpower judgment, but now a spiritual attribute judgment has been added.

Although the difficulty of the judgment has increased, if both judgments fail, the damage taken by the enemy will be calculated in tons, especially the new fear torture effect, which can inflict a bleeding effect of 1% of the enemy's maximum health per second, and the fly in the ointment is that it can be purified.

However, there are very few contractors with purification skills, and there are only so many skill slots, and few people will assign a skill slot to purification.

"Shen Xu, are you alright? Let's go to the living quarters, it's so boring here. Tinnibird yawned, it had been trapped in the exclusive room for more than ten days, and now it just wanted to go out and surf.

"You go, I'm going to go to the trial ground later, my attributes in all aspects have just been improved, and I have to temper my strength."

Shen Xu took Ding Niniao to find the big-breasted girl Xia He, she is an adventurer, under normal circumstances, she earns dream bonds in the dream space, and she only needs to enter the derivative world once every three months, and spends most of her time doing nothing.

Shen Xu came to her, Xia He was naturally surprised, Shen Xu made a generous move, and last time he just introduced the situation of the dream space, he gave her 80 points. It is a rare 'big customer'.

"You take it to the living area for a walk, what it wants to buy, just help it buy it, and then come to me for reimbursement, I'll give you 200 coupons for hard work, can you do it?"

",, of course!" Xia He nodded immediately, 200 dream points, just take a bird to go for a casual walk, this business is too profitable, if only there was this kind of business every day.

After Ding Niniao was bored and left, Shen Xu went to the trial ground, but on the way he met a very unexpected person.
