Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Yuan Force Enhancement_2

Yuan Force enhancement has limits and thresholds, and the closer you get to the limit, the more severe the diminishing returns become.

But now, Tao Yu faced a new choice, which was to directly "Deify" his existing talents or skills, thereby achieving a qualitative change!

Although it seemed that the physical energy consumption of the skills would also increase accordingly, for someone who could restore his state through eating, this was definitely worth it.

Uh, Yuan Force could also accelerate state recovery, and most likely more efficiently, but for now, it was definitively ruled out by Tao Yu, the pauper.

Having made the decision to use it, Tao Yu began to examine the other skills that had emerged with the awakening of his talents.

All acquired through years of hard practice, the talents now manifested more directly after awakening, allowing him to perceive the skills' energy spheres and vaguely bringing about some enlightenment.

Skills: "Basic Shooting" lv1, "Basic Combat" lv2, "Basic Weaponry" lv2, "Basic Breathing Method" lv1, "Basic Herbal Recognition" lv1, "Basic Trap Making" lv1...

A mishmash of skills, a jack of all trades but master of none, mainly aimed at survival, among which those most related to his combat power might be "Basic Shooting," "Basic Combat," "Basic Weaponry," and "Basic Breathing Method."

All are quite self-explanatory in their literal sense; if practiced and enhanced with Yuan Force, even without leveling up, there would be an obvious improvement in proficiency and a consequent increase in some related physical qualities.

The leveling markers are merely a convenient way to grasp the concept, a standard within the company.

And the gap between the levels didn't involve any qualitative change such as breaking through a level; everything was a natural progression, with a large gap that wasn't too exaggerated.

lv1 and lv2 could be seen as ordinary amateur players and top amateurs, while lv3 was a professional athlete.

The first three levels could arguably be rushed out with Yuan Force acceleration, but lv4, which was approximately equivalent to an Olympic athlete, already required talent to reach.

Even without talent, it was possible to reach that level, but it was inefficient! And the decay rate was severe, with maintenance being tedious.

lv5 represented various human limits, and within lv5, the range of proficiency could vary greatly, akin to the difference between running 100 meters in 9.8 seconds versus 9 seconds.

Tao Yu didn't bother to learn about the skill levels beyond that; his father, with "Eagle Eye," had only managed to reach Basic Shooting lv4, and perhaps could push to lv5, but couldn't sustain the maintenance cost, which was the norm for ordinary families in the outer city.

Yuan Force could also be allocated in any arbitrary units Tao Yu wanted; he could even design his own ability level to be lv99 if he wished, but naturally, the limit would increase accordingly.

But with "Deification" available, he would not prioritize increasing the proficiency of these skills he had painstakingly practiced for many years.

Eventually, Tao Yu focused his mind on his talents "Dynamic Vision" (B-), as well as on "Basic Breathing Method" lv1.

"Dynamic Vision" was an innate talent, its importance was unquestionable.

And "Basic Breathing Method" was a relatively reputable skill in the outer city, not something everyone could learn; Tao Yu barely had an introduction to it through the constant hands-on guidance of his disabled elder brother.

Although it wasn't anything as grand as Internal Cultivation Methods and couldn't break human limits,

it could still improve Endurance to some extent and reduce the speed of physical decay, lessen the intensity of maintenance exercises, and increase the efficiency of physical training, which was relatively the highest skill Tao Yu had acquired among the many.

According to the information Tao Yu gathered by focusing his thoughts, the Deification of "Dynamic Vision" required about eight hundred units of Yuan Force.

"Basic Breathing Technique" would consume around one hundred and forty.

"Basic Shooting," "Basic Combat," and "Basic Weaponry" were all between eighty to one hundred, no longer enough for another enhancement.

But there was the option to use "Basic Trap Making" as a connection, or to reserve some Yuan Force for accelerated enhancement and emergency recovery from injuries.

After roughly planning, Tao Yu began in an orderly fashion, starting naturally with "Dynamic Vision"!

As Tao Yu focused his mind, he first absorbed a thousand units of Yuan Force from the metal above into his body, then started to concentrate his attention on "Dynamic Vision."

The next moment, the energy sphere representing the talent "Dynamic Vision" seemed to visibly change, as though it also released streaks of golden light.

And Tao Yu's vision, which was already clearer thanks to "Dynamic Vision," suddenly became even brighter.

Even in the dim rainforest, he could see all information and details as clear as day: the texture of the trees, the crawling insects, the python hanging on the treetops, everything was captured by his eyes!

The passive enhancement of vision alone was a substantial gain!

It just came with a slight sensation of dizziness, like wearing glasses, but it seemed to smooth out quickly, perhaps due to "Spiritual Immunity."

With his mind focused, the newly Deified talent unfolded before him.

"Dynamic Vision??" (Deified??): Under normal conditions, possesses extremely strong dynamic vision; with high mental concentration and at the cost of additional physical energy, it can greatly enhance the effect, seeing the trajectory of mosquitoes' wings and bullet paths, and temporarily increasing explosive power and reflex speed at the expense of significant extra physical energy, which may cause strains if the body's strength is inadequate.

The skill description turned into information that Tao Yu could understand without using words.

Upon receiving this terrifyingly powerful enhancement, Tao Yu immediately felt his heart pumping blood.

This was too exaggerated!

This was far from mere "Dynamic Vision"! This was clearly "Bullet Time"!

Almost in sync with Tao Yu's internal exclamation, his talent information transformed into the changes and variations he understood.

Talent: "Bullet Time" (MAX)

What thrilled Tao Yu the most was the realization that the talent "Bullet Time" could still be enhanced further!

But just by concentrating mentally for a moment, he also immediately felt a cold splash of realization.

The consumption for a second Deification was far greater than the increase from Yuan Force acceleration by several orders of magnitude, and the feedback of needing at least tens of thousands of units of Yuan Force for the next Deification made him aware that it was beyond his short-term reach.

"Actually, it doesn't matter; the current 'Bullet Time' is already more than sufficient. If I enhanced it again, I probably wouldn't last even a second given the consumption of energy and focus, it's fine, really, it's fine."

Tao Yu comforted himself for a while, but couldn't help feeling a twinge of sourness, like the grapes were beyond his reach.

Yet, it wasn't entirely self-consolation. As little Karami, the active consumption of "Bullet Time" might be overwhelming, and stronger enhancement would probably mean relying solely on passive abilities...
