"As for the polishing method, I happen to know it," the jeweler remarked. "Polishing Dragon Eye Gems isn't difficult, come with me."
The three followed the veteran jeweler into the Gem Workshop, watching him start to polish the Dragon Eyes.
It took half a day before they finally polished two Dragon Eyes into gemstones.
Lu Heng took the Dragon Eye Gems, handing one to Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu to examine.
[Dragon Eye Gem]
[Item Level: A-Level]
[Attribute: Spirit +8]
[Introduction: A gemstone made from a dragon's eyeball. When set into jewelry and other items, it can enhance Spiritual Attributes.]
After reading, Lu Heng asked, "How much does yours add?"
"9 points," Su Muyu replied.
"Let me see, let me see," Lin Zeyu curiously took it over to check the properties.
Hearing it was 9 points, Lu Heng praised, "That's not bad, it turned out to be a top-quality gemstone."
The standard added value for an A-Level Dragon Eye Gemstone is 8 points.
The actual increase fluctuates around 8 points; it could be 7 points or even 9 points.
If it reaches 9 points, it counts as top-quality.
Holding the two Dragon Eye Gemstones, Lu Heng asked, "Master, could you help us make these into jewelry?"
"Of course, of course. It's been a long time since I've seen such fine material," the jeweler hurriedly agreed.
For a jeweler, encountering such high-quality material was exciting, and he was naturally eager to craft jewelry.
Su Muyu removed her Energy Crystal Bracelet from her wrist and handed it over, saying, "Can you alter this one?"
Lu Heng glanced at her and jeered, "I didn't say it was for you."
Su Muyu's eyes widened in feigned anger, "There are two gems, and you won't even give me one!"
"Alright, alright, alright. Just kidding."
Lu Heng chuckled and handed over the +9 Spirit Dragon Eye Gemstone, saying, "Add this gemstone to it, and make it into a bracelet."
The master jeweler took the bracelet and the Dragon Eye Gemstone, explaining, "The effect of similar gemstones only applies to one; the effect of the Energy Crystal on this will be overridden by the Dragon Eye Gemstone and won't take effect."
Su Muyu's Energy Crystal Bracelet was a reward from her first mission in the Abyss Battlefield.
The primary effect of this Energy Crystal Bracelet was +1 Spirit, and the Energy Crystal on it was what exhibited this effect.
Su Muyu hastily added, "Master, this bracelet also adds a total of 20 Source Energy."
The master nodded and responded, "I know, that's the effect of the engraving on the bracelet. I can do the engraving, and the high quality of the Dragon Eye Gemstone will enhance the effect of the engraving."
Su Muyu nodded, "That's good."
The master considered for a while before asking, "Do you need an engraving that increases Source Energy, or something else?"
"Are there other types of engravings?" Su Muyu had not dealt with jewelry engravings before, so she was unaware.
The master began to explain the types of engravings:
"Yes, there are many effects. The first type increases total Source Energy, the second type reduces Source Energy consumption, and there's another that boosts Spirit Resistance.
"Besides these, different gemstones can enhance different element powers.
"For example, this Dragon Eye Gemstone is from a Purgatory Sub-Dragon and is of the Fire attribute; it can be engraved with a Fire Element engraving to enhance the power of Flame Skills."
After the master finished explaining, Lu Heng interjected, "Use the one that reduces Source Energy consumption."
Su Muyu, still contemplating, heard Lu Heng's decision and without asking why, she nodded in agreement, "Then let's use the one that reduces Source Energy consumption." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Lu Heng looked surprised, "Why didn't you ask for the reason?"
Su Muyu waved her hand nonchalantly and replied:
"I've already figured out the reason. When you're at a low level, the total Source Energy is less, so using an engraving that increases total Source Energy is best, allowing for the use of more Skills.
"Now that I'm at a higher level, my total Source Energy has naturally increased.
"My total Source Energy is now 820 points, so the 20 points increase from the bracelet is quite minor.
"Switching to an engraving that reduces Source Energy consumption will be more effective."
As she mentioned, increase in total Source Energy engravings is more suitable for earlier phases, while reducing Source Energy consumption is stronger for mid to late phases.
Su Muyu, being a Support system Superpower User, didn't have high demands for offensive capabilities.
Therefore, an engraving that enhances Flame power wasn't essential for her.
Of course, having it would be better.
After all, the power of Solar Wind was evident; enhancing it would indeed be icing on the cake.
Lu Heng considered for a moment and added, "Master, do you think it's possible to engrave two types of inscriptions? Dragon Eye Gemstone is an A-Level gem, which should be enough for two engravings."
Indeed, the level of Dragon Eye Gemstone was sufficient for two engravings, but it depended on whether the engraver had the capability.
The master nodded and said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee success. The craftsmanship for double engravings is quite challenging."
Lu Heng replied, "No worries, I trust your ability."
Besides trusting him, there was no other option.
In the Abyss World, there were very few craftsmen who still possessed engraving skills, encountering one in the Black Iron Tribe was already fortunate.
The master started by opening the Engraving Manual, combining the manual and the shape of the Dragon Eye Gemstone, he drew the design on paper.
After drawing, the master double-checked and, feeling satisfied, began to engrave the gemstone.
Su Muyu assisted from the side, observing the master's steps in engraving.
The master began by polishing the gemstone, then outlined the general layout of the engraving with an Engraving Pen, followed by the carving itself.
Next, he applied empowerment materials to fill the engraved crevices and finally polished and buffed it.
After this series of steps, he finally set the Dragon Eye Gemstone into the bracelet.
They were busy well into the night before finally finishing.
After the master completed the bracelet, he handed it to Su Muyu, stood up stretching from exhaustion, waved, and went to rest.
Cradling the bracelet, Su Muyu turned and excitedly said, "I picked up a Vice Profession."
