Chapter 79: First Expert Level Skill

Michael did not know about the conversation between Alex and Raymond. He just focused on getting back to his apartment.

When he got there, it had already been more than 30 minutes since he left the Summit Motorsports Park.

As soon as he arrived into the apartment, he sat on the couch in the living room. Then, he opened his email, and began going through the information that had been sent to him by Adrian.

Adrian had compiled the information in such a way that it was so easy for Michael to be able to go through it.

Additionally, it was arranged in that, it would be easy for Michael to be able to find what he needed. Every topic was a compilation of information from different sources related to that particular topic.

At this point, Michael suddenly thought, why not ask Adrian to do the same for him for the other skills? This way, it would at least reduce the time that he would require in order to go through the information and acquire new skills.

As soon as he thought about it, he asked Adrian, who was currently serving food, “Adrian, for the next skills that you would be learning, I would like you to compile the information related to them as soon as you’re done with that area.”

“Okay. I will keep that in mind. What about the ones that I already have the skills? Should I also compile the information on them?” Adrian responded before he asked.

Michael thought about it, before he nodded. As long as all the information was compiled, he would be the one to make the decision on what skill to learn next.

So, even if some of the skills that Adrian currently possessed were not very useful to him at the moment, he might need them at some point in the future.

After serving the food to Michael, Adrian went ahead and began compiling the information.

Adrian had already purchased a high-end laptop, as Michael had previously sent Adrian $200,000. This money was not only for the expenses such as groceries, but in case Adrian needed something, he would use the money.

And in the case where the money was depleted, Michael had already told Adrian to inform him, so that he could send him more.

Now, he really did not need to worry much about this, considering that there was money that had already been sent into his account by Alex.

Decisively, Michael paused going through with the information on Cyber Security, and sent $500,000 into Adrian’s account.

In the future, he would send more, to make it convenient for Adrian to be able to do other things.

After completing the transaction, Michael once again focused on reading. In just a little while, he received the prompt from the system.

[Expert level of Cyber Security and Information Assurance. Progress: 1%]

Due to the enhancements to his perception through the unarmed combat skill, Michael read quite fast.

He was continuously scrolling through his phone, going through the information that consisted of over 1,000 pages.

Of course, the 1,000 pages did not just include words, but they included images and charts, which led to the increase in the number of pages.

As for how Adrian was able to compile such a huge amount of information in a very short time, Michael did not know.

But, considering that Adrian was a bio human, it was clear that his abilities were beyond what humans could compare. So, it was quite normal that he would be able to do some things faster and more efficiently.

….

Friday, midmorning…

The sun was already scorching hot, with the people walking down the streets lightly dressed. Some people were carrying umbrellas with them, in order to shield themselves from the sun.

In most of the houses, the ACs had already been turned on, and those that could not afford the AC either had fans or had the windows of their houses wide open.

As for others that were outside the houses, they were taking cold drinks, or even watermelons, to cool themselves down.

Inside Michael’s apartment, the AC was already turned on, with the house’s temperature being slightly cool. But, from the window, there was a slightly warm air that blew in from time to time.

On the couch in the living room, Michael was lying, facing the ceiling. In his hand, he was holding his phone, going through a document.

He was already on the final page, and the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden.

How could he not be happy at this time? After all, in order to go through this entire document, it took him just a little over a day.

If it had been before the enhancement, he would have needed over 3 days. But, after the enhancement, the time he needed to read had been reduced drastically.

Now, looking at the progress bar, it was already at 99%, just a single step away from reaching 100%.

And as he reached the final line of words on the last page, there was a prompt from the system.

[Experience full. Level up. Cyber Security and Information Assurance skills upgraded to the Expert level. +5,000 SP.]

As soon as this prompt appeared, Michael suddenly received a huge amount of information in his mind.

Just like during the advancement of this skill to the advanced level, there was nothing that happened, apart from the information appearing in his mind, and being digested.

In just a little while, Michael had become an expert in the field of Cyber Security and Information Assurance. Apart from Adrian, Michael doubted that there was anyone in the world that could compete against him.

Now, after the wave of the information was dealt with, Michael focused on another matter.

At the moment, his total SP had been increased to 6,395. This amount was equivalent to $639,500,000!

Just by converting the SP into cash, Michael would immediately become a multi-millionaire!

Now, to understand how Michael had been able to acquire the expert level skills in less than a day, it was quite simple.

The previous times that he had been reading PDFs, he always ended up reading several PDFs that had repeated content.

Those PDFs required time to read, and in the end, they might not contribute much to the progression of the skills.

That was the disadvantage at that time, as compared to this time, where Adrian had compiled all the necessary information.

In the over 1,000 pages of the document sent by Adrian, there was no any repetition, or unnecessary information.

This made it easy for Michael to progress with the advancement.

Additionally, due to his improved perception, he was able to read faster than before.

At the moment, the way that Michael read was quite simple. All that he needed to do was to just look at the page, and would be able to see many words at the same time.

By average, his reading speed was about 3,200 wpm. With such speed, it was quite easy for him to be able to go through the document, which was in the A4 page format, consisting of 1,000 pages.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have taken over 3 days in order to be able to go through all the information.

But for Michael, all that he required was about 9 hours. He could have actually completed everything the previous day, but, he could not just do things at the maximum limit without resting.

But even then, the ability of acquiring the expert level skill in less than a day was quite amazing.

One had to know, in order to acquire the advanced level Cyber Security skill, Michael had to spend almost 2 weeks. That was even after the enhancement from the unarmed combat skill.

’At this rate, I might be able to overgrow this city. After all, with the ability of earning half a billion in less than a day, within a month, how rich would I be?’ Michael thought to himself, a slight smile on his lips.

It seemed, it would only be a matter of time before he became the richest person in the world.

Quickly, he went online, to confirm the net worth of the richest person in the world at the moment. And at that point, on the internet, he found out that the richest person in the world had a net worth of $342 billion.

If the money was converted into SP, it would be equivalent to 3.42 million SP! Such an exaggerated number shocked Michael.

Michael made a quick calculation, realizing that, with each skill, if it was leveled up to the expert level, he would be able to gain 6,011 SP.

At this rate, if he needed to gain $342 billion, he would require a total of 568.9569123 skills at the expert level!

How many skills existed in this world? Michael did not know about that. But, was it not too much of an exaggeration for him to acquire about 570 skills, just in order to be able to match the richest person in the world?

Just by calculating at the rate of acquiring a single expert level skill per day, it would still require him almost 2 years in order to be able to acquire all those skills!

But then again, becoming as rich as the richest person in the world within just 2 years, this was a huge bargain. After all, for the others, in order to be able to reach such a level, how many of them did not spend decades and a lot of effort?

For him, all that he needed to do was to settle down and read. And with the assistance from Adrian, he did not even have to bother looking for the information.

All the information related to all the skills would be sent to him, leaving him with nothing but just reading.

Then suddenly, Michael thought of another option…
