God of Tricksters Chapter 1501 Experiments

Chapter 1501 Experiments
"We have four people here." Prince Karl brought four people and asked, "What do you think about them?"
"Do you want to upgrade their C Rank Skills too?" Richard asked.
"Yes, I want you to upgrade their C Rank Skills. You say that you can see their skills, so I want you to see theirs and choose the skill with the lowest requirement. I'll provide the Skill Cards immediately."
"I… I understand." Richard nodded politely. He looked at each person for a few seconds and said, "He has Aqua Torrent Skill. The requirement is 15 C Rank Skills and 60 D Rank Skills. He has…"
He mentioned everyone's skill explicitly and the upgrade requirements, making Prince Karl trust him more. His words became more credible since four of them acknowledged their skills.
As soon as confirming what he said, Prince Karl immediately prepared the Skill Cards. Although it was quite a big amount for upgrading one's skill, the potential was so high that he didn't need to hesitate. He could even get more Skill Cards from the people he sheltered in this place.
In a world where Skill Cards were worthless, he could easily get all of them and rise through the ranks, becoming one of the most important people in the world. If Richard could truly do it, his ambition could be fulfilled.
As soon as he gathered the Skill Cards, the prince immediately asked Richard to work. "Here you go."
"I… I understand." Richard nodded timidly. He gathered the Skill Cards in front of him and closed his eyes. He clapped his hands and enveloped the Skill Cards with his Magic Power.
Suddenly, the Skill Cards disappeared. Richard's face became pale, showing what had happened.
"It fails?" Prince Karl narrowed his eyes.
"I apologize!" Richard hurriedly apologized, not wanting to get into more trouble. His body was shaking and his arms covered his head as if he would be beaten whenever he failed to upgrade someone's skill.
However, Prince Karl could only let out a sigh as if he had prepared for this. He already knew that the chance was one in four, so he didn't get angry with the first one. He said, "Just continue to do it!"
"Y-yes!" Richard moved to the second person and did the same thing. As soon as the Skill Cards disappeared, a smile appeared on his face. "Con-congratulations!"
"My skill is upgraded?" The guy furrowed his eyebrows, not believing it. After all, he didn't feel anything.
"What should I do, Your Highness?" The guy asked for Prince Karl's instruction since there should be no change in his body.
"Open the window and shoot your skill outside. Make sure not to destroy anything."
"Understood." The guy nodded and walked to the window. As soon as he opened the window, he pointed his palm to the outside and gathered his Magic Power into his hand. "Lightning Dragon!"
A lightning strike came out of his palm and turned into a dragon. The size was three times of a human and it even had a pair of wings.
"What?!" The guy dropped his jaw to the ground and said, "Impossible. Even with all of my power, I couldn't produce a lightning dragon this big, and it even came with a pair of wings. I could even control this skill better!"
"!!!"
That statement shocked the entire room. Even Prince Karl opened his mouth in shock, staring at Richard in disbelief. There was only one thought in his mind. 'He is a real deal!'
Prince Karl paused for a moment and said, "Upgrade the other two!"
"Yes." Richard nodded and hurriedly followed what he said. The third time he upgraded the skill, Richard instinctively raised his arms, but because he knew he wouldn't be hit in this place, he didn't say anything. Even so, his action and expression already showed enough.
However, the fourth person was different. After sacrificing the Skill Cards, Richard smiled and said, "Congratulations, Prince…"
Prince Karl's expression brightened and he stated, "Try it outside!"
"Yes!" The fourth person nodded his head and immediately leaped out of the window. The people walked toward the windows to see what he was doing.
The fourth person started jumping around in an unpredictable manner. He was fast and skillful in these jumps, but to his surprise, he somehow kicked the air and jumped up.
"What?! Not only can I leap faster, but I can also kick the air?" The guy tried it a few times and reported it. "I can kick the air three times, but this should be impossible with my skill…"
The answer to his improvement was clear. Everyone turned to Richard with a dumbfounded expression. With this test, his power was clear.
Prince Karl walked to him and patted his shoulder. "Your name is Richard Coulson, right?"
"Yes. Will I be beaten?" Richard looked at Prince Karl with a horrified expression.
Prince Karl thought that Richard was scared because of his two failed attempts. He smiled to assure him and said, "Of course not. I don't know how those people treated you in the past, but I will be sure to treat you well."
He ordered the four people that had participated in the experiments. "Four of you are forbidden to talk about this experiment. Also, call the maids to bring Richard to the highest guest room as he is now the distinguished guest of my Royal Family."
"Yes, Sir!" All of them nodded their heads and followed his instruction.
'It seems that his success rate is around 25 to 50 percent since he asked three to four people. Even so, this is enough because his ability will surely help me greatly. There are going to be many people who want to upgrade their Skill Ranks, especially those who want A Rank or even S Rank Skills. I'm going to use him to rise through the ranks in the union.' Prince Karl obviously couldn't reveal such a thought. He just gave Richard a simple smile and said, "You don't have to worry anymore because I will be the one protecting you from this point on."
"Thank… thank you!" Richard smiled as if he felt relieved that he didn't need to be tortured again.
