Chapter 5 Skill Upgrades
After agreeing, Higashino Yu and Naruto went back to their respective homes.
Yu Higashino had planned to train swordsmanship before, but he felt tired after playing with Naruto for a day, and it was already dark now, so he ...... Let's practice again tomorrow.
However, the [Variation] skill can be tried.
Taking advantage of the cooking effort, Higashino Yu went to the bathroom to experiment.
As his mind moved, the outline of his entire person became blurred, and when it became clear again, he had already changed into Naruto's appearance.
Yellow hair, fox-like beard, except for the look in his eyes and face, he can hardly see flaws from the outside, but he doesn't know if he can recognize it if he uses perceptual ninjutsu or something.
It may not be recognizable, because Higashino Yu uses these skills to consume stamina, not chakra.
It may be recognizable, after all, the current [Change] skill is just a trick.
Higashino tried to touch the top of his head, as he was taller than Naruto, so he was only touching the air above his head in the mirror, and as his hand pressed down slightly, the image in the mirror distorted.
"Forget it, the defect is still a bit big, let's go out and use it after the level is high." Higashino made a decision, and then continued to cook in the kitchen with Naruto's appearance.
[Change] Skill Proficiency Increase Method: Actively use a [Change] skill, increase proficiency by 1 point, maintain the change effect for an hour, and increase proficiency by 1 point.
Waiting for Higashino Yu to cook, 1 point of proficiency has finally arrived.
Although this method didn't have to be bothered, it always felt that the speed of increasing proficiency was really slow, so after eating, Higashino Yu simply concentrated on practicing.
Cancel the change, change, cancel the change, change, and so on, and after about ten minutes, the [Change] skill was upgraded.
[Change Lv2: 0/1000]
The [Change] skill of Lv2 has the ability to change other items on the basis of Lv1.
In fact, Lv1's [Change] can also change other items, but only for items that Higashino Yu touches, and once he gets away from him, the change effect will be lifted.
Now, with the [Change] skill of Lv2, after consuming physical strength to change an item, the item can still maintain its changed state even if it is far away from him.
The duration of the change is determined by the amount of stamina expended and the difficulty of the change.
But it's still the same problem as before, the effect of the change is equivalent to a trick, not a physical change, and there may still be trouble going out with such a change effect.
So Yu Higashino decided to continue leveling.
Ten minutes can increase proficiency by a hundred points, and that thousand points is about two or three hours.
Although Higashino is salted most of the time, he can sometimes be whimsical, especially when he has a clear goal that can be achieved in a short period of time.
At this time, he can burst out with tenacity and patience.
A few hours later.
[Change Lv. 3: 0/10000]
If you want to level up again, you need 10,000 proficiency points, which can't be completed in a short period of time at all, so Higashino Yu immediately had no idea of continuing to practice.
Lv3's [Change] skill finally has the ability to change entities, and on the basis of Lv2, you can change the shape, color, size, and so on of objects to a certain extent.
Now if Higashino Yu transforms into Naruto again, it won't be a trick, and the height and weight can also be perfectly reproduced.
But the flaws are not without defects, first of all, the degree of change should not be too large, that is to say, Higashino Yu can turn the table into a bed, but it can't do it directly into a bed.
And, as before, the effects of the changes are temporary, not permanent.
All in all, although the [Change] skill of Lv3 is not very powerful, it should be enough if it is only used to disguise the vest or bring some convenience to life.
For Higashino Yu, it's enough, and the rest is to let it slowly strengthen on its own, and it's too lazy to continue special training.
It's just that since there is something that maintains a state of change and can always increase proficiency, Higashino Yu feels that he can operate it again.
He took out the ancestral katana in his family and used his [Change] skill to turn it into a cross pendant and hung it around his neck.
Okay, now every hour that passes, the proficiency of the [Change] skill can increase a little, and really, it can become stronger even while lying down.
After all this, it was already late, and Higashino Yuya felt tired for a while, so he didn't do anything else, and just went to bed and began to sleep.
……………………
"Brother Yu! Brother Yuu! ”
The next day, Higashino Yu was woken up by such a voice.
Holding back the breath of getting up, Higashino Yu came downstairs and opened the door, and standing in front of the door was Naruto Uzumaki, who he "hated".
"Brother You, I'm here to work."
"Didn't you come later?"
"But it's not too early."
Higashino Yu looked at the street outside, there were very few people, and the sun didn't rise for long, which is called early?
"Forget it, come in."
Higashino Yuu opened the door and let Naruto walk in.
"You just sit at the counter and call me when someone comes."
"Then Brother You, what are you going to do?"
"Sleep!" Spit out these two words coldly, and Higashino Yu walked upstairs.
Lying back on the bed, Higashino Yu tried to continue sleeping, but he was the kind of physique that was difficult to continue to sleep once he woke up, and the more he lay down, the more energetic he became.
That's why he hates being woken up so much.
Anyway, I can't sleep, so Higashino Yu is ready to just get up.
After washing up, Yu Higashino went to the first floor again.
Naruto sat at the counter obediently, looking around curiously, his eyes seemed to be full of anticipation and joy.
The small one made Higashino Yu feel a little pitiful, and the anger of getting up dissipated like this.
"Eh, Naruto." Higashino Yu said hello.
"Brother Yu? Aren't you going to sleep? ”
"I don't sleep." Higashino Yu said lightly, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
“…… No. ”
"Then I'll make an extra one." After saying that, Higashino walked back upstairs.
After simply boiling two bowls of noodles, Yu Higashino called Naruto up.
"Eat." Higashino pushed the bowl containing the noodles towards Naruto.
"Thank you." Naruto looked like he didn't know what to say.
Higashino Yu didn't pay attention to him, and ate by himself, the sound of snorting sounded in the early morning in this quiet room.
"I'm going!" Naruto shouted and began to eat as well, and the first two bites were relatively slow, but the more he ate, the faster he ate, it seemed that Higashino Yu's skills were not bad.
By the time Higashino finished eating, Naruto had almost finished eating.
"Is it delicious?" Higashino Yu asked casually.
"Delicious! It's delicious! ”
"What about Biichiraku ramen?" Higashino Yu became curious.
