Even Ji-Cheok couldn’t increase his Luck level by using Likes directly. He required… a stroke of luck in order to do that.

Ji-Cheok now knew one of the ways to destroy a dungeon. He just needed to destroy the Core of the dungeon! For that to happen, Ji-Cheok needed the World Tree’s ability to eliminate dungeons. However, if the World Tree grew further, it would no longer fit in his Shadow Pouch… He needed to do more research on how to move the World Tree around without resorting to his shadows.

‘Uh… This is some overpowered Artifact! So, if I use this on something of an A-rank, it becomes S-rank, right? I am this powerful because my Mana and Cultivation are S-rank… Wait, does that say ‘any rank’? Holy shit. That means I can increase the rank of my [Heaven and Earth Chaotic Divine Art]. Currently, it’s C-rank, and it costs about five million Likes for me to increase it to B-rank. That’s why I had given up trying to upgrade it. ’

Right now, Ji-Cheok had 8.21 million Likes. If he increased his cultivation art to B-rank with his Likes, then used the World Essence, he could raise it to A-rank! This meant that he could upgrade to a higher realm in a matter of seconds.

In the case of cultivation, he thought that it would be better to reach the next level and acquire new skills by training rather than just using the Skill Voucher. Then, he thought about the skills that he had used to particularly great effect in the recent days. Among all his skills, he had profited most from the [Soul Telekinesis] and his craftsman skills.

His potion production was so large that it had shaken the industry and even invited assassins to his factory. In turn, the [Soul Telekinesis] had good compatibility with his cultivation skills and was very powerful. It was also a very effective auxiliary skill for when he was riding the Mono Bike G.

It was possibly wiser to raise the rank of [Heaven and Earth Chaotic Divine Art] with the World Essence and his Likes and find a compatible Legendary skill. However, he thought that it was more urgent to teach a good lesson to the people from the potion industry who had sent assassins after him twice.

The description was very simple. Essentially, he could use one unit’s worth of materials to produce five units. It wasn’t just a small percentage; his productivity would literally multiply! In addition, it was a passive skill that did not consume extra mana. It was not upgradeable, but that did not matter, considering how overpowered it was anyway.
