This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 595 - : Rita’s Eyes Sparkling with Excitement!!!

[I Just Want to Improve So Badly]: This skill has a 30% chance of stealing an item or 1% of the target's money, a 15% chance to steal 2 attribute points, and a 5% chance to steal a secret. Each use costs 10% of your health. (This skill can only be used successfully up to ten times on the same target. Be careful not to develop irreconcilable enmities with others.)

This was the core ability Rita had modified.

Interestingly, after copying a skill icon, her [One-Person Party] divine talent now included 6 skills.

Both Skill 1 and Skill 2 were [I Just Want to Improve So Badly].

She had modified the core of Skill 1.

It was hard to make a mistake now. Rita could practically "see" the countless light clusters in her soul, each one representing a different skill. Every time she used a skill, she activated one of those light clusters.

Even though she had used up all the modification opportunities from the Golden Tree Dry Branches, it had gone well. Anyone who played games would understand how deep this pit could get. Rita was satisfied as she closed the game panel.

She took a moment to brag about her progress with both Nivalis and B8017913.

After a moment of silence, both Nivalis and B8017913 asked the same question in unison:

"Why didn't you modify the skill first, then steal the luck? Wouldn't that be much faster?"

Rita fell into deep thought. Her mood suddenly became heavy.

"…" Nivalis: "??" B8017913: "??" Rita didn't feel like talking to her pets for now.

After a while, Nivalis sighed, "Cold treatment."

B8017913 also didn't get a response but kindly took a step back. "Although I don't understand, I respect your choice, master."

Rita: "…" She'd rather they just called it "cold treatment."

SS-level Skill Modification was already risky enough, and Rita didn't dare to imagine what [Skill Modification III] would be like.

As for the remaining two six-sided dice [Talent Modification I], Rita felt a bit regretful.

If it had been [Skill Modification], she could've modified [Time Reversal], but unfortunately, she could only modify talent skills.

The only divine talent she could currently modify was her [Sharpshooter] (A-level). Everything else was either SS or SSS-level.

Ah~~~~~~

Just as she couldn't use the divine talents she obtained through various channels as a resurrection cost, [Talent Modification I] also couldn't modify the individual divine talents she acquired.

Once those divine talents came to her, they no longer appeared in the divine talent bar, so how could they be counted as divine talents?

She held onto her last two modification chances, rereading the descriptions of [Survive Until the End] and [I'm Getting Serious Now (Passive)].

[Survive Until the End]:

"Your health will drop to match your level."

She could swap "health" for "agility," but she was already locked in a black room, unable to move by herself—agility didn't matter.

However, this meant that during critical moments, she might not be able to take a few more hits with this skill.

She'd used this skill during the match at the "Candy Land" battlefield. When her health dropped below 30%, using [Survive Until the End] would transform her into an object, forcibly changing her health to 100%.

Even if, after deactivating the skill, her health might only be in the single digits, combining it with [Don't Even Think About Killing Me], which could extend the lower limit of her health to -500%, or following it up with [Mysterious Power], would be a perfect choice.

Though many emergencies might not allow for such a combo, it was a good option for safer moments.

Swapping "level" for "agility?"

If, before using the skill, her remaining health exceeded her current agility of 2252, could the health ratio still be adjusted to 100%?

Most likely, yes. The difference between using "level" and "agility" was essentially the same.

If her remaining health was lower than 2252, would this skill effectively heal her?

The more Rita thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.

This was worth a try!!

Rita quickly used the two six-sided dice and changed the phrase "your health will drop to match your level" to "your health will drop to match your agility."

Her current health was 18,385, and when she used [Survive Until the End], her health became 2,252, and the ratio was 100%!

The key benefit of the skill remained intact, and this modification was worth it!

After deactivating the skill, her health remained at 2,252.

She had cleared so many dungeons and had enough equipment, so she took out a knife, made a few slashes on her arm, and brought her health down to 987. Now, only 0.05% of her health remained—just a thin sliver.

She used [Survive Until the End] again.

Her health went back to 2,252, and the health bar was back to full, with the ratio at 100%!

Rita couldn't help but be overjoyed. Not only did she preserve the key benefit of this skill, but now she could even heal herself!

This "your health will drop…" part acted like forcibly converting her current health into a new health bar!

The only downside was that she might not be able to use [Mysterious Power] with [Survive Until the End] anymore.

But that wasn't too bad.

Or perhaps, this method hadn't completely disappeared.

Rita's nightly entertainment was to review her skills, going through each one's skill descriptions so she could be ready to use them in critical moments.

[Temporary Respec] (A-level): Allows you to redistribute the four main attributes freely within 3 minutes. The cooldown time is 30 minutes.

This was the A-level skill she got back in the Tower.

Since she activated [Regular Savings], she had been storing mana on her wrist's magic tattoo. Since yesterday afternoon, she had accumulated over 70,000 mana. She didn't need to worry about mana anymore.

She used [Temporary Respec] to allocate 1,800 agility points to intelligence, then used [Survive Until the End] again.

Sure enough! Her health became 452!

She deactivated [Survive Until the End], and her health remained at 452. She could now use [Mysterious Power]!

She could even use [Temporary Respec] to allocate 90% of her constitution, agility, and intelligence to agility, but those attributes weren't high enough. Even if she allocated them, she'd only get a few hundred points. It would be more efficient to just eat a meal instead of wasting time on attribute redistribution.

Rita laughed out loud, her emotions spilling over.
