From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 313 - 247: Return! World Task Reward

[Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet]

[Item Level: A-Level]

[Attribute: Spirit +9]

[Engraving 1: Reduces Source Energy consumption by 10%.]

[Engraving 2: Increases Flames' power by 10%.]

Both engravings were a success.

With this bracelet, Su Muyu's Spiritual Attribute soared by a tier.

After the campaign in Black Stone City, Su Muyu's Source Energy Level had risen to 32, with her base attributes being: Strength 75, Agility 77, Constitution 77, Spirit 82, Perception 83.

Wearing the [Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet], her Spiritual Attribute would be elevated to 91 points.

At this point in time, there were only a handful of Superpower Users with a higher Spiritual Attribute than hers, and she was also a dual Perception and Spiritual system user.

Su Muyu looked at the attributes of the [Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet] with a smile in her eyes,

However, what made her even happier was something else.

"I've gained a Vice Profession, an Apprentice Rune Master."

Su Muyu's eyes were full of excitement and curiosity, this being her first time obtaining a Vice Profession, felt very novel.

Lu Heng, hearing that she had acquired the Engraver Vice Profession, also showed a joyous expression, commenting, "That's not bad, having high Perception greatly helps with Engraving."

According to the timeline in his memory, news of the Engravers' existence was supposed to come out only after a full year had passed since the Abyss Descent.

The actual acquisition of the Engraver Vice Profession had to be earlier than when the masses became aware of it.

Now, in mid-November after the Abyss Descent, the emergence of Engravers among humans was about right.

"Let me take a close look at the introduction, Apprentice Rune Master, improves engraving success rate by 10% and also increases Spirit Resistance by 10%. That's a strong effect," Su Muyu said, her eyes shining as she saw the effects of the Vice Profession.

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "Right, the resistance bonuses from the Engraver are very strong."

Being able to increase Spirit Resistance meant that resistance to attacks from Spiritual Superpower Users' skills would be enhanced.

For example, against the charm of the Bloodline Demoness Salein, if the Spirit Resistance was higher, the duration and effect of the control could be reduced.

The resistance offered by the Engraver Vice Profession was something many Power Users sought after.

However, Vice Professions weren't something one could gain just by wishing for them; there were certain Attribute requirements.

For instance, Engravers typically were Superpower Users with higher Perception Attributes, as they were more likely to acquire this Vice Profession.

This was because Engravers needed to inscribe extremely complex Rune Circuits on gemstones.

The higher the Perception, the better the visual acuity, and this microscopic vision placed even stricter demands on Perception.

Thus, in the early and middle stages before the Abyss Descent, Engravers were generally exclusive to Power Users of the Perception System.

As the two were discussing the effects of Engravers, they were caught off guard by a snoring sound behind them.

Turning their heads, they saw Lin Zeyu had already fallen asleep in his chair, with no idea when he had dozed off.

Lu Heng kicked the leg of the chair with his foot, startling the guy into jumping up.

"What's up? What happened?" Lin Zeyu looked around dazed and confused, thinking he was in some sort of danger.

Lu Heng spoke, unimpressed, "Big news."

"What big news?"

"The kind that involves making money."

"I like that kind of big news," Lin Zeyu's eyes suddenly brightened, completely awake now.

"Start collecting Engraving Materials after we get back."

"Engraving Materials? Are the prices going to skyrocket?"

"Well, not exactly, we're collecting them to smash for Training Level," Lu Heng spread his hands.

"Engraving Materials, for Training Level?" Lin Zeyu's eyes widened in surprise, "Did you gain another Vice Profession?"

As he spoke, Lu Heng was already stepping out, it was the middle of the night, and he needed to hurry back to catch up on some sleep.

Su Muyu followed him out, shooting Lin Zeyu a look and correcting, "It's mine."

Lin Zeyu quickly caught up, asking, "What Vice Profession? Engraver, huh? What are the effects? Does it have better attributes than a Forging Assistant?"

Lu Heng retorted without turning back, "You an assistant, dare to compare with a full-fledged Vice Profession? Do you know what 'inviting humiliation' means?"

"Heh!" Lin Zeyu scratched his head vigorously, unconvinced, "Why do you guys get Vice Professions and I'm just a Forging Assistant? That's not fair!"

He said so, but there were too many Power Users in the world without Vice Professions; those who had one were the minority.

Actually, to have a Forging Assistant as a Vice Profession was already quite lucky.

...

With the last day of the 15-day limit on the Abyss Battlefield remaining.

After a good rest, Su Muyu went back to the Gem Workshop in Dili Castle to continue learning Engraving Skills from the Forging Master of the Darkville Black Iron Tribe.

Due to the high reputation of Lu Heng and his companions in the Darkville Black Iron Tribe, Su Muyu gained access to an entire set of Black Iron Tribe Engraving compendiums.

The Engraving compendium served as a record of Rune Circuits.

By carving the Rune Circuits from the compendium onto gemstones and then filling in with empowerment materials to form a complete circuit, the Engraving effects could be realized.

Su Muyu's acquisition of the [Apprentice Rune Master] Vice Profession meant that Flame Emblem Club, after its Quenching Masters and Forging Masters, now had another Engraver.

Coupled with her high Spirit and Perception Attributes, she had a significant edge in the Engraver Vice Profession.

Lu Heng planned to gather a bunch of Engraving Materials after returning, to help her level up her Vice Profession experience swiftly, to secure the position of Blue Star's number one Engraver in record time.

By then, Flame Emblem Club would stand as the pinnacle brand in the forging, quenching, and Engraving domains of the Human World, without parallel.

...

Since it was the final day of the return, Su Muyu sought to use every last minute to learn as much about the Engraver's techniques as possible.
