Hu Yan and Ruan Yu quickly gathered around.
The three of them huddled together to examine the book.
After opening the blank cover, the title "Rain Prayer" was written inside.
Just by looking at the title, they couldn't tell what the book was about. Jiang Kai flipped to the first page, where there were explanations in three sentences.
[Universal skill, requires a base mental strength of 150 points (equipment bonuses do not apply), a second-tier profession, and a natural affinity to comprehend.]
[Harmony between man and nature, rain comes at will! After a 10-minute preparation, causes localized rainfall within a certain range. The duration and intensity of the rain depend on mental strength and skill level.]
[Content revealed upon binding, skill book disappears upon comprehension.]
After reading the first page, the three of them exchanged glances.
It really was a skill book!
In the realm of callings, skill books do appear, but their origins, like class change materials, are unknown. However, one thing is certain: the probability of a skill book appearing is very low!
Jiang Kai had opened fifty or sixty elite treasure chests before finding one, which shows how rare they are.
Some people, upon reaching second or third-tier professions, rely solely on their professional skills!
After reading the skill book's description, Jiang Kai and Ruan Yu both looked at Hu Yan.
"Old Hu, I only know you're a second-tier Feng Shui Master. What's your mental strength?" Jiang Kai asked.
"Uh, I'm a second-tier level 7, with a mental strength of 163."
The mental strength increase for the Feng Shui Master profession is on par with that of a Barefoot Doctor, both being top-tier among the ten major professions in China. The most crucial part is that during the second class change, base attributes increase by 50%, which is a significant boost, making Hu Yan's mental strength quite formidable.
Jiang Kai thought for a moment and tossed the skill book to Hu Yan, "This book is for you, try to learn it."
"For me?" Hu Yan was a bit flattered, "This book could probably sell for some money, and besides, Captain Kai, I'm just grateful to be part of the team..."
Jiang Kai laughed, "Why are you acting like Ruan Yu? I said it's for you, so it's yours."
"From the skill description, you're the only one among us three who can learn it."
Seeing Hu Yan holding the skill book, unsure of what to do and hesitant to speak, Jiang Kai already knew what he wanted to say.
It was nothing more than feeling he hadn't contributed much and was getting too much.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Before Hu Yan could speak, Jiang Kai said, "Since you call me captain, I decide how to distribute the loot, no problem!"
Jiang Kai's words effectively silenced Hu Yan, who could only reluctantly accept the skill book, though not without saying emotionally, "The captain decides, anyway, I'll put it out there, unless you kick me out, I won't leave the Fire God Squad!"
Jiang Kai smiled. Hu Yan's name paired with his promise made it hard to know whether to believe him...
Looking at the room full of loot, Jiang Kai thought for a moment and said, "With so much equipment, using appraisal cards would be too extravagant. We should find a supply station; maybe they can appraise it for us for free."
Ruan Yu asked, "Are we going back to the Safe Zone?"
Jiang Kai nodded, "I urgently need some money, the sooner the better. I didn't expect to gather so many treasure chests so quickly. I think it's enough now, let's go back and sell them first."
After packing up, the Fire God Squad waited until nightfall to leave the Elite Cabin and return to the Safe Zone.
There were many Black Tortoise Guild teams in King's Valley now, and Jiang Kai didn't want any accidents before he had enough for his brother's medical expenses, so he naturally tried to avoid them.
In the early hours of the next day, the Fire God Squad finally returned to the Safe Zone.
Without even returning to their camp, Jiang Kai went straight to the supply station.
The supply station had just opened, and when the transaction window opened, the girl inside saw someone waiting outside and looked curiously.
"Huh? It's you again?"
Nearly a month had passed, but the young lady immediately recognized Jiang Kai, indicating she still remembered him.
Jiang Kai smiled slightly, "Not welcome?"
"Of course, you're welcome! What are you selling this time?" The young lady's smile was much more natural, revealing two shallow dimples, unlike the "professional" demeanor of their first meeting.
"Quite a bit, can I come in?"
"Brother Li, Brother Wang, please bring him in," the young lady said directly to the guards outside the window without hesitation.
The two guards outside not only saw Jiang Kai but also the two people behind him.
Brother Li glanced at Hu Yan in surprise, seeing him following closely behind Jiang Kai, "Hu Yan, you're with his team?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Hu Yan raised his chin, quite proud.
"No problem, but one person from a team is enough to go in."
"Oh, okay, Captain Kai, you go in, chat more with Dimples... we'll wait for you at the camp, there's plenty of time." Hu Yan raised his eyebrows at Jiang Kai, winking.
Jiang Kai rolled his eyes at him, "Don't talk nonsense, it's purely business!"
The transaction window of Supply Station No. 27 had just opened and then temporarily closed again, indicating they were going to serve Jiang Kai exclusively.
By this time, Jiang Kai had already entered the supply station and quickly took out the treasure chest cards.
"So many..." Brother Li's eyes widened, "All Ghost Banshee's treasures?"
Brother Wang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Kai a few more times, "Did you guys clear the Elite Cabin? How did you deal with their fear-inducing attacks?"
Jiang Kai didn't answer, and Brother Wang seemed to realize his question was overstepping, so he wisely didn't pursue it further.
As a big client, Jiang Kai once again enjoyed the free appraisal service provided by the young lady with dimples.
She appraised each piece of equipment, estimated their value, and sent the appraisal results to Jiang Kai.
[Wanderer's Leg Guards, first-tier ninth-grade equipment, increases strength by 7 points, physique by 9 points, adds 4 points to leg defense, special effect: reduces stamina consumption by 17%, increases freeze resistance by 27%. Estimated value: 4600 Star Coins.]
[Hunter's Leather Chestplate, no grade, increases physique by 6 points, adds 4 points to upper torso defense, special effect: increases stamina recovery speed by 12% after leaving combat. Estimated value: 1500 Star Coins.]
[Ascetic Monk's Robe, professional attire, estimated value: 400 Star Coins.]
The first dozen pieces of equipment didn't satisfy Jiang Kai, so he set them aside for sale.
"Hmm? A small set piece?" The young lady was surprised after appraising a pair of black pants.
"What set?" Jiang Kai quickly leaned over to check her watch information.
[Night Pants, first-tier ninth-grade pants armor, increases agility by 11 points, strength by 6 points, leg defense by 3 points, special effect: can enter stealth mode at night, requires 30 seconds preparation, stealth effect lasts for 3 minutes.]
[Stealth duration can be stacked with other "Night" equipment, shared preparation time.]
[Estimated value: 3500 Star Coins.]
Jiang Kai immediately thought of his Night Cape.
The price of these pants was on the lower side for first-tier ninth-grade equipment, not even reaching four thousand, but they were part of the "Night" set.
No wonder the young lady called it a "small" set; it seemed the Night set's grade was quite low.
However, according to the equipment description, it meant he only needed 30 seconds to gain six minutes of night stealth capability.
Thinking it over, Jiang Kai put away the Night Pants.
Next, four or five pieces of no-grade equipment appeared in succession, and just when Jiang Kai thought his luck was bad, the young lady suddenly paused in front of a piece of upper body armor, appraising it twice.
"Hey, a good piece of equipment!" The young lady happily looked at Jiang Kai.
As someone from the military supply station, receiving good equipment was something to be happy about.
The information was quickly sent over.
[Ghost Armor, first-tier third-grade armor (dropped by Ghost Banshee), increases strength by 8 points, physique by 9 points, agility by 24 points, mental strength by 14 points, no defense increase, special effect: can activate "Phasing" once every ten minutes, putting the wearer in a phased state.]
[Phased state: immune to one physical attack. State ends after activation.]
[Estimated value: 240,000 Star Coins.]
Seeing the final estimated value, Jiang Kai couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Just this one piece of armor already covered his brother's medical expenses... enough!
