Chapter 32: Zack Barg
....
Currently, his [Editing] skill is at [Novice], and the best he will be able to afford to upgrade is to [Intermediate] level, if he collects the rewards.
Anything beyond that would be a waste of EP he could better allocate for future purchases rather than wasting it only on basic skills.
And, yes, Regal did call the [Intermediate] level basic.
Ever since his recent jump in [Writing] from [Novice] to [Expert], he had had a chance to observe firsthand how much of a leap it truly was.
The direct boost he got in [Direction] skill, as the sign-in bonus from the system, hadn't given him the time to properly adapt before.
But now? He could definitely feel it - the huge gap of skills between [Intermediate] and [Expert] in terms of practical ability.
It wasn't just a matter of two levels - the difference in practical capability was immense.
And based on his growing experience, Regal had come to a conclusion: for any skill to meet industry standards, it had to be at least [Advanced].
Luckily, Simon, the most experienced person he currently knew in the film industry, had come through with a promising lead.
Yesterday, during the dinner party, he had casually mentioned to Regal that he knew someone who could get the job done affordably.
Apparently, the editor was one of his friends from his early days making short films and currently owned a wedding studio.
