From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 314 - 247: Return! World Task Reward_2

So I prepared to spend the whole day soaking in the Gem Workshop.

Today is the last day I will stay here. Before I leave, I need to speak with the leader of the Black Iron Tribe, Dakville III.

"Leader, we will be leaving tonight. I hope we will meet again if fate allows," Lu Heng found Dakville and informed him of his time of return.

Dakville sighed, somewhat reluctantly, "I really wish you could stay. Without you, we couldn't have taken back Black Stone City."

He had gritted his teeth and persisted for three years, but over the past two years, he knew well that it was almost impossible to reclaim Black Stone City, a hope he was reluctant to give up on.

If it weren't for the humans who had been summoned, the Black Iron Tribe might have been slowly eroded away, and he would have met the tribe's fate within Dili Castle.

Now things are better. His tribe has reclaimed their ancestral home.

As long as they have Black Stone City, the Black Iron Dwarves would be able to revive themselves, just like his grandfather once did.

After a moment of thought, Dakville asked, "Do you know anything about our lost Quenching Furnace? After all, it was taken by humans."

He thought of the humans who had stolen the Quenching Furnace from Dili Castle and still harbored resentment.

Of course, he was only grateful to this batch of humans that included Lu Heng.

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "I do know some information. This Quenching Furnace might have been brought to our Human World. Our world has over a hundred countries, each with different stances and even fighting among themselves. It's very complicated."

Dakville nodded, showing understanding, "I see. Our Black Iron Tribe once had its days of glory, too, splitting into many large tribes. It's natural to have strife among ourselves."

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "Before I was transported here, indeed, a country in our Human World announced that it had obtained a Quenching Furnace, which might be the one you lost. But it wasn't done by Da Xia."

Dakville nodded his head and said, "I noticed that there are differences within your human groups. I just wanted to know where the Quenching Furnace was taken. Whether we can get it back is no longer important."

Lu Heng understood why he wasn't insistent on getting the Quenching Furnace back because the one they lost was from Dili Castle.

The Quenching Furnace of Black Stone City was still there.

Now that the Black Iron Tribe had recaptured Black Stone City, they could continue to use the Quenching Furnace within the city, so their Quenching Skills would not be lost.

Changing the subject, Lu Heng spoke, "Right, do you need me to deliver a message to Master Gulu? Before I came here, Master Gulu had entrusted me to help him look for his tribe members.

"I didn't expect that this summoning would bring me to the world of the Black Iron Tribe, which is also fulfilling Master Gulu's wish.

"However, Quenching Castle is currently located in an overlapping space between the Human World and the Abyss, so you can't meet for now.

"If there is a way in the future to cross the divide between worlds, we can think of a way for you to meet."

After pondering for a moment, Dakville said, "Then please convey a message to Master Gulu from me. I am Dakville III, the leader of the Darkville Black Iron Tribe, and I look forward to meeting Master Gulu. The Black Iron Tribe will certainly revive, and we will work hard together."

"Alright, I've noted it down," Lu Heng promised.

...

The day quietly passed by.

When midnight struck, Lu Heng and the two others gathered together to choose to return.

At the same time as they chose to return, a reward prompt appeared.

[World Task Completed: The Purgatory Sub-Dragon in Black Stone City]

[World Task Reward: Choose one of the following three rewards.]

[1. Spend 600 points of Divine Energy to establish a Space Anchor Point. After returning, you can spend Divine Energy to return to this world.]

[2. Spend 1200 points of Divine Energy for a chance to draw a skill. Choose one from three random skills, no blank Skill Slot needed, and directly acquire the chosen skill.]

[3. Spend Divine Energy to upgrade a full Training Level skill, consuming different amounts of Divine Energy depending on the Skill Level.]

Lu Heng saw the three rewards and immediately fell into thought.

Among the three rewards, the last one doesn't need to be considered, for it can be reached by 'Divine Evolution' and there's no need to waste a reward opportunity.

As for the first and second rewards, there's a need for some consideration.

Especially the second reward, which is quite special.

The chance of this reward option appearing is also very small, and the variance in the quality of the reward is quite significant.

This is unlike the skill-drawing reward that Lin Zeyu received last time.

Lin Zeyu's skill drawing, after drawing, required replacing an existing skill, which is a rather ordinary reward.

Now, what Lu Heng has, if chosen, would result in a skill draw presenting three skills from which to select one.

After choosing, it does not replace an existing skill but directly adds a new skill.

In other words, it will directly add a Skill Slot.

However, this Skill Slot cannot choose what skill to learn; whatever you draw is what you get.

Relative to it, Lu Heng's reward option is much better than Lin Zeyu's, but what skill you eventually get is random.

The randomly drawn skill could be any Level, from D-Level to A-Level.

This means that if the three drawn skills all have undesirable effects, then this reward is as good as wasted. And it also wastes 1200 points of Divine Energy.

For example, if a melee Superpower User draws an 'Armor Piercing Bullet', it's basically a useless skill.
