Chapter 282 Earning Skill EXP Efficiently
-----
It has been two weeks since my encounter with the Wyvern and things had been advancing at a slow yet steady pace. While training my Skills I have taken no breaks either, consistently using my Skills to gain Skill EXP proficiently. However, as I gained more skills over the time I acquired my Grimoire, it has gotten hard to gain Skill EXP for all of them consistently, I have only 24 hours a day after all. Therefore, some days ago I had decided to select a few Skills which I will prioritize their training over the course of my life, the most important ones for my current daily life and also for the future to come. Seeing my Skill List as of now, I had many Skills.
First of all, Title Skills cannot be easily trained, I cannot train them easily due to their big requirements. The only one that can be used constantly is Savior, which by merely healing other people I can gain Skill EXP. However, the other three, Beast Slayer, Demon Slayer, and Slaughter King requires me to constantly kill certain categories of living beings, which is not always available due to my lifestyle as a serf child. Beast Slayer grants Skill EXP depending in the Beast-type monster I slay.
Beast-type Monsters include things such as Boars, Horned Rabbits, and Gray Wolves. I had already tested it beforehand and Giant Wild Boars grant 100 Skill EXP while Gray Wolves grant 50 and Horned Rabbits only 20. The requirements are 10k for Level 2 as usual, but I have yet to kill enough Beast-type monsters to reach Level 2, where I will receive and enhancement on damage dealt against these type of monsters.
Secondly, Demon Slayer is the same, but thanks to the demon war, I had acquired a large quantity of Skill EXP for it. Imps give 40 Skill EXP for Demon Slayer, while Onis give 60 Skill EXP and the Demon General gave 2500 Skill EXP. It was certainly a good grind, I am already almost at Level 3 in this Title Skill, which will increase my damage dealt against demons, the primary enemy of this world.
Lastly, Slaughter King is tricky, it gains Skill EXP by killing large quantities of enemies in a battlefield. Picking up small fry over time won\'t give enough Skill EXP. Killing Horned Rabbits only gave out 1 or 2 Skill EXP, which was a pain. The way to level up this Title Skill is by slaughtering many foes at once, which might be possible inside a dungeon, but for now, it might remain at Level 1 for a while. I could had leveled up in the demon war, if it wasn\'t because I learned it after it ended.
Moving on, Link Skills such as Shadow Sneak gain bonus Skill EXP from Elenora herself. So the Skill EXP earned by this Skill is shared between the two by 50%, which made it recently reach Level 3 because Eleanora has been grinding Skill EXP for this Skill for a while now, constantly fusing into shadows and coming out of them. At Level 3, Shadow Sneak becomes even better at helping me meddle with shadows and even darkness, and it has begun to grant an additional speed bonus while in shadows.
Then there are the passive Skills, Acrobatics is the easiest to train alongside Robust Body and Hawk Eye, all three of them require physical or simply actions that need to be repeated constantly and don\'t waste any energy other than physical energy at small quantities. For Acrobatics I realized that jumping around trees grants the most Skill EXP, usually between 5 and 10. Meanwhile, jumping around could give from 2 to 4. It seems that the more I jump from higher places and do risky maneuvers, the more Skill EXP it gives.
For Robust Body, it enhances resiliency and physical defense alongside strength, lifting heavy objects constantly gives around 10 to 15 Skill EXP, while doing pushups gives 1 Skill EXP every 1 Pushup. However, the best way to level up Robust Body is by receiving damage into my body, such as practicing martial arts with my friends, especially with the boys who hit the hardest, or with Eleanora at night.
And lastly, Hawk Eye is the easiest, merely requiring me to "see". Simply inspecting things from slightly afar gives me from 1 to 5 Skill EXP, and if I try to look into the faraway mountains for several minutes, I gain around 15 Skill EXP every 20 to 30 minutes. But my vision gets cloudy if I try too hard, so I have to be careful to not affect my vision negatively.
Because they\'re the easiest to use with almost no cost, I am prioritizing the level up of these three Passive Skills. Acrobatics is already Level 3 and soon to be Level 4, while Robust Body already reached Level 3 and Hawk Eye as well. At Level 3, Robust Body and Hawk Eye have given me a stronger and more durable body and a sharper vision respectively. Robust Body now has a passive HP regeneration bonus effect, healing roughly 1% HP every 10 Minutes. At higher levels, I assume it could become incredibly reliable for long fights, so I have to do as much exercise and sparring matches as possible to level up this Skill in specific.
Aside from three "primary skills" there are the secondary passive Skills I have been also practicing, but that aren\'t as easy, Gifted Magic Apprentice, Heavy Drinker, and Intimidation. The first Skill is the fourth easiest to level up, it merely gains Skill EXP by manipulating Mana and conjuring Spells, but my own Mana is not unlimited either.
However, every time I do Mana Manipulation across my body to enhance my Physique and also gain more maximum Mana, I gain roughly 5 to 10 Skill EXP every 10 Minutes. Sometimes 1 per minute and other times 1 every two minutes. However, as I\'ve been doing this constantly since the moment I got the Skill, it was already Level 3 and soon to be Level 4. My proficiency with magic in this body has become even better.
