I tried to go back and forth between the first and the second floor, but my skill points never increased.
From that fact, I realized "it might be updated every time I unlock a new floor of a dungeon".
Haruki stepped in to see if this was the requirement to get a skill point.
Then, another question was raised.
'Can each highest floor reached in any dungeon get me an additional point?'
If so, a large number of skill points could be obtained only by visiting the 2nd floor of every dungeon.
Because there were more than 200 dungeons in Japan, so there were over 200 easily obtainable skill points.
'If I do so, it won't be a dream to maximize all the skills on the board.'
'If I have 200 points, what kind of skill will I max out first?'
'Just imagining, my dream is extended.'
Haruki, who was excited, lightly touched the pattern of the newly purchased dagger.
'I'd like to check out its performance as soon as possible.'
'While verifying it, I will see how far I can go today.'
Haruki, who descended to the 2nd floor, took out the skill board in a place where no one was found.
Could it not be taken out anywhere other than in his home dungeon? Even though he was afraid, the skill board
could be accessed without any resistance.
As long as it was in a dungeon, it seemed to work without problems.
About the skill board, Haruki made various tests in his garage's dungeon.
But the result was not very good.
There was only one new thing that he knew.
The skill board would automatically return to Haruki's chest when it was 10 meters away from him.
It was a valuable magic tool, so it was pleasant if there was no possibility of grieving over the loss.
However, the possibility that it could not be transferred to anyone has emerged.
Except for Haruki, the transfer could not be done even to the most useful person for Japan.
It could not be thrown away even if it became unnecessary.
Also, if the existence of the skill board was found out, the possibility of being targeted by a vicious party would rise greatly.
However, doubt remained as to whether it would be discharged from his body if he was dead.
Or, there was a possibility of using drugs to deprive his awareness only for the skill board.......
It was extremely troublesome.
There was a possibility that a bomb would be used if it was beyond the imagination.......
Haruki, while letting out a small sigh, looked at the skill board.
Skill Point(s): 1
"......it doesn't increase"
Unfortunately, the skill points remained at 1.
He updated the highest floor reached of "Chikho", but his points did not increase.
If so, there are two possibilities to increase the points.
First, the highest floor reached of all dungeons was shared.
Second, it only reacted to the highest floor reached in the dungeon at home.
It could be either one.
"Ah, is there a possibility if this dungeon is updated as the highest reachable floor of humanity...?"
If so, "Chikho"'s 29th floor, which has been captured until now, is needed. So, the skill points would not increase if the 30th floor wasn't reached.
As expected, the requirements to obtain it were too strict.
"Well, I don't know until I study it a bit more."
For now, Haruki decides to go further.
There were also beginner adventurers here; they were wandering like zombies aiming to cook the trapped monsters.
If you don't go down from the first floor, you would not be able to hunt properly.
"One more thing that has to be verified"
Could the skill board only develop Haruki's ability?
In order to solve that question, Haruki quietly sneaked into the group that is beating up a monster just now.
Thanks to his weak presence, nobody notices Haruki.
He secretly pulled out the skill board and activated it behind them.
However, the screen was only displaying Haruki's skill tree.
"Oh, I wonder if there is a way to change it"
As he swiped his fingers at various angles, the skill tree switched just like a smartphone home screen.

"Oooh"
'As expected, this magic tool seemed to be able to distinguish not only my skills but also the skills of others.'
'......hey, wait a moment.'
'Is there an old man who is 87 years old here?'
As he looked, an old man who was certainly pretty old was now knocking down the monster's head.
He wore a tank top on his upper body, and from there, his muscles which were not expected to be possessed by an old man could be seen.
Is he stronger than Haruki? His muscles were throbbing.
'Is he really 87 years old?'
Although it was doubtful if you look only at his body, but his sparkling head that would not be dimmed even under the underground's faint light and deep wrinkles engraved on his face as well as, his head, which was like a golf ball, were strongly affirming his senile nature.
'There is no doubt. He is Shigezo Takenaksan, 87 years old.'
'Those elders also became adventurers......'
While thinking seriously, Haruki opened the skill tree.

'As expected, the skill tree seems to have individuality.'
It was probably due to the person's suitability that he didn't have some skill possessed by Haruki, on the contrary, there were some skills that Haruki didn't have but he had.
Or, a skill was released after doing an action a certain number of times.......
The possibility of gaining immunity was quite reasonable.
Getting a small cold can be fatal for people raised in a clean room, but for a body grown in a harsh environment, it will not catch a cold even if a virus entered.
"Resistance status is listed" was its actual description.
'This immunity, why is there 1 point added!'
'Blunt weapon and tool mastery skill were also increased by 1 point.'
'Are there other people who have skill boards?'
'It is possible.'
'However, perhaps the skill will rise if the experience or proficiency exceeds a certain level?'
'If it is, I am convinced that few skill points can be acquired.'
If the added skill points were calculated, at most Takenaksan has 7 points.
It was the points obtained when he reached the dungeon's 5th floor. (TLN: I think skill points added for Armor Proficiency are not calculated as the points gained from the dungeon)
But Takenaksan didn't look like an adventurer who could go to the fifth floor.
After all, he was an elder.......
Then the answer was easy.
The skill's level would naturally rise if you gained experience.
And it was grown independent of magic tool's skill points.
And since Takenaksan, who was on the second floor, had 4 points, the possibility of "updating this dungeon to the highest reachable floor of humanity" disappeared.
"Somehow it has begun to clear up"
Haruki murmured.
'Depending on whether skill acquisition conditions and natural growth are known or not, my future skill allocation will greatly change.'
'It is a very important piece of information.'
Next, "Can I add the skill points of others?" But...
'It would seem eerie if his body movement changed suddenly.'
'He may encounter various troubles.'
Troubled a little, Haruki tapped the screen continuously.
Then without resistance, he quickly increased Takenaksan's skill.
That elder's physical condition has not changed.
His skill increase was certainly a hard-to-see part, but the question which seemed can be confirmed as the moment was resolved.
Haruki though while watching the elder's appearance.
'You are still living a long life, elder.......'
