He heard a crack sound. He pulled the pins out and saw that they had broken. He failed. He heard a notification voice, "Lockpick fails, receive twenty proficiency points." 'I still got points for failing?' Jack asked in his mind.
"Of course, if not, it will take you ages to reach the next grade," Peniel answered. Jack took a look at his Lockpick skill inside his status window. It was written twenty/one thousand proficiency to reach the intermediate Apprentice grade. So if he used up all twenty of the lockpicks in his possession, even failing, he would be almost halfway there already. 'you are right, I should have bought more lockpicks,' Jack admitted. 'I could just fast-track by inserting the lockpick and let it fail in quick succession to increase my grade. As long as I have enough coins, my skill will increase in no time!' "You are one simple-minded buffoon," Peniel scoffed.
"You think the world will let you cheat like that? If you do it like that, you might not even get any proficiency point at all. The reason you got twenty points was because you have done it perfectly just now." 'Wait, perfectly? Then why did it still fail?' Jack asked in bewilderment.
