Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 45. Upgrading Skills. Rose Fairies' birth and Flor.

Meanwhile, in the Golden Sap Forest, things were changing quickly.

It had been a while since Liu Shu arrived at Level 4, and her experience had accumulated enough to buy the first skill upgrade. Moreover, during this time, the Rose Fairies managed to keep themselves a bit more hidden than usual, attracting wild animals that wanted to take a taste of Liu Shu, only to get, quite literally, sliced in half by her branches.

At Level 4, Liu Shu's basic stats rivaled those of Level 10 creatures. She had grown to be a force to be reckoned with, strong enough to face almost all creatures in the Golden Sap Forest.

But that was speaking about normal creatures. Liu Shu found, surprisingly, quite a lot of resistance from the trees surrounding her. While they were all between Levels 6 and 9, she had been battling more than one of them at a time.

Some trees posed some resistance to her roots, making it a slow battle for dominance. Because her regeneration was absurd, Liu Shu made it a secondary action to clean up her surroundings. So,

All of this naturally awarded her abundant experience points. She had killed quite a few creatures: seven Level 5s, five Level 6s, two Level 8s, and one Level 9. This gave her a total of 124 Experience Points. Then, because two months had passed since she leveled up, she gained another 960 Experience Points, making her Accumulated Experience equal to 1084 Experience.

Liu Shu looked at that number with a thoughtful face. 'I'm leveling up so fast~. I'm already halfway through; if I wait three more months or so, I should be able to reach Level 5! But...'

Liu Shu looked at her skills and pondered. 'I should Level Up the skills...'

Why did she think as such? One of them was Nature's Gift, which is one of her most used skills. The other was Charm of the Seedling, an interesting skill that helped her and similarly placed her in a pinch in the past.

So, after giving it some light thought, Liu Shu finally decided to upgrade them.

[Do you want to use 326 Experience Points to Increase <Nature's Gift (F Rank Level Max)> to <Nature's Gift (F+ Rank Level 1)>?]

'Yes!'

[326 Experience Points consumed. <Nature's Gift> has gone from F rank to F+ rank.]

<Nature's Gift (F+ Rank level 1 [0/1200])>: Produces small, magical fruits with unique and beneficial properties. It uses Anima Energy and Aether Mana to produce. Depending on the strength of the fruits, there is a chance that they will also need Phoer. You can fasten their ripening time by 60 days, spending as much Aether Mana and Anima Energy as you need to create them.

Current Fruits Available: <Delicious Berry (F- Rank)>: +1 exp to Level 9 and lower beings. Max: 3; <Basic Phoer Berry (F- Rank)>: +10 Phoer Body Shards. Max: 5; <Basic Mana Berry (F- Rank)>: +10 Aether Mana Shards. Max: 5; <Basic Energy Berry (F- Rank)>: +10 Anima Energy Shards. Max: 5; *<Basic Breakthrough Berry (E- Rank)>: +1 Sub-Tier, max F+. One every ten years.

The fruits she could create didn't change, but now it was much cheaper and faster to make them. Her ability to speed up went from 30 to 60 days.

'Nice! With this, I will be able to produce much more~. From her Aether Mana regeneration's 106 points, she always used 36 of them for <Enchanted Growth>, around 40 for all the berries except the <Breakthrough Berry>, for which she used ten separate energy points. Finally, the last 20 were used by Liu Shu to fight things around her.

20 Aether Mana and Anima Energy in an hour didn't seem like much, but she could get things done slowly.

The rest of her ternary essence reserves were only touched when there was an active situation that needed her attention.
