"I found it."

When Blanche returns to the room from the library, he brings the news that Gene is looking forward to.

"[Vacuum Arrow] is not the rarest skill, but it is definitely not a big deal. It is a powerful archer skill of 'rare'." Blanche recited the contents of the book, "but the mental power requirements are relatively high. Generally, it takes an intermediate archer to master it perfectly."

"Wow! Rare skills!" Gene whistled excitedly, picked up the skill book emitting green light, and walked in front of him to rub it. His excitement was beyond words.

A pale little hand suddenly pressed on the cover of the book.

Gene looked up in shock.

"Gen, I advise you not to rush to learn it first." Blanche frowned, "Didn't you listen to my second half? This skill 'usually you have to be a mid-level archer to master it perfectly'!"

"I heard it."

"Then are you sure you understand another meaning of this sentence?"

"Uh...there is a deeper meaning?"

"Yes, and it's very important." Blanche looked serious, "This is a warning, which is to warn you that it's best to wait until you become an intermediate archer before learning this skill, otherwise you may encounter big trouble!"

"What trouble?" Gene was stunned.

"You may have stopped here in your life and will never be able to become stronger again..."

Seeing Gene's surprised eyes, Blanche quickly realized that the red-haired boy in front of him lacked the most basic theoretical support, so he was probably unable to understand and even thought he was exaggerating!

She could only explain patiently:

"I will first tell you the basic level classification standards for adventurers. The four major professions are the same - the awakened mark of light is the 'intern adventurer'! Perfectly mastering 3 skills is the 'primary adventurer'! Perfectly mastering 6 skills is the 'intermediate adventurer'! And perfectly mastering 10 skills and passing actual combat assessment is the 'advanced adventurer'! "

"You should have discovered that I have been using the word 'perfect master', which is to distinguish it from another word - 'inscribed master'."

"The essence of skills is the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors. The adventurers of the past have slight exploration from scratch how to use the unique powers given by the goddess - fighting spirit, mental power and magic... They recorded the specific methods that drive these forces to exert powerful power in the "stars". As long as later generations engrave the stars in the same way on their mark of light, they can directly master the corresponding powerful abilities... Humans use this method to inherit the wisdom of fighting monsters from generation to generation! And this way of mastering is called "inscribed mastery."

"But everyone's situation is subtle... Although most of the skills mastered by Inscribe can be used, they are not smooth, and their power is not as high as the original creator. Some even cause minor damage to the body! This requires you to use the skills again and again, to adapt to the way of power operation, and to finally be used very easily... This is called 'perfect mastery'."

"There is a rule that only by perfectly mastering one skill can one engrave the next skill... This is determined by the characteristics of the mark of light, without any exception. My current state is perfectly mastering the [Magic Hand], but I only engrave and master the [Fireball Technique] and am working hard to practice the latter."

"Gen, imagine what would happen to a archer if his first skill was engraved with the [Vacuum Arrow]?"

Gene listened to a long passage, his mind was flying with novel concepts. Suddenly, he heard the magic girl's question and replied subconsciously: "Oh, he only masters 1 skill, obviously he is an intern archer. Then, he should not be able to master the [Vacuum Arrow] that can only be mastered by intermediate archers. If he cannot master it perfectly, he cannot learn the next skill. If he cannot learn the next skill, he will..."

The red-haired boy gradually widened his eyes. The next moment, he clapped his hands violently: "So this is a vicious cycle! He will always be stuck at the level of the trainee archer!"

The gray-haired girl raised the corner of her mouth and showed a look of "You are so enlightened".

"Is this Oliver's conspiracy?" Gene suddenly exclaimed, "He wants me to be stuck in the apprentice archer forever? He wants to ruin my bright future?"

This guess made Blanche raise her eyebrows, she hadn't thought about this before.

"It shouldn't be." The gray-haired girl quickly hesitated, "Learning skills should be progressive step by step, starting from the simplest, which is considered basic common sense... Just to bet that you lack this common sense, you will use it recklessly without asking others, and pay such an expensive price as a "rare skills book"... Even the eldest son of the Parton family may feel distressed."

"Besides, your conflict is not so deep. All the apprentices in this tower know that you will not stay here for a long time and will be picked up by His Highness Glen soon... You will disappear from his sight soon, there is no need for him to do this."

"That's because you don't know Oliver's scruples." Gene gritted his teeth, as if he remembered some unpleasant memories... but he quickly clapped his hands and laughed: "What a pity! He was still me... Oh no, we both saw through it! This was really a double loss, but no profit! This is a victory of IQ! I wouldn't be a fool who was stuck in the same place!"

"Haha, someone is so smart." Blanche rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Because a red-haired boy didn't realize that the person who was stuck in the same place because he could not perfectly master a certain skill, there was one in front of him.

———————

At night, in Gene's room.

[The Vacuum Arrow skill book, even if I don't learn it now, it is still precious. When I become stronger, I can use it...]

The red-haired boy thought this way and happily hid the skill book in the box.

Then he climbed onto the bed with thick crimson books in his arms.

This book "The Fall of the Orc Empire" has been characterized by Gene as a gift that Oliver gave to bring closer relationships and eliminate his own wariness... But it has to be said that it is indeed very pleasing to Gene.

Gene awakened a special mark that was different from most archers. What he wanted to know most at the moment was the knowledge about the special mark. Whether he was Oliver's grandfather or John William and Jenny's grandfather, as long as he could answer the questions in Gene's heart, he was a good grandfather!

Facing the rosin lamp at the head of the bed, Gene opened the book and read it again.

If one of the passages appears very frequently, it gradually attracted Gene's attention. The passages they appear in are different, but the meanings are similar.

"I found that sometimes the owner of special marks does not have to be restricted by certain rules that people know, such as those skills that claim to be mastered by advanced warriors. I have actually met the requirements long ago... I began to regret the few weak skills I had engraved at the beginning... Alas."

"These damn skills 'Stars' can't be erased if they are engraved! This means that my limited skill position will be occupied by several garbage skills... If they hadn't dragged me down, I would have been able to smash Gluru's head last time! Instead of racking my brains to think about where he had been hiding..."

"Time passes, and you can't turn back again! Legend... I'm just a little short of legend. I've already felt that diaphragm, but I just can't pass through... Well, I know how bad I am. I really regret it. I shouldn't listen to those bullshit preaches, what 'learning skills must be progressive'...bad, it's all bullshit."

"The starting point is low, how can it be high in the future? A true strong man, every skill position is extremely precious, and he must not be wasted on low-level basic skills! If I do it again, I will definitely become a legend!"

Looking at these words, Gene gradually became heavy in breathing, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the storage box not far away.

The existence of special marks...
