From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 161 Returning a favor, the second transformation of source quality

"How is the upgrade? If the upgrade effect is not so good, tell me and make me happy." Lin Zeyu asked about the upgrade effect of [Prism Tower Shield].

After signing the team contract, the jokes Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu made became more and more offensive.

Su Muyu had been looking at the effects of the upgraded skills. When he heard him ask this, he read out the data of the upgraded skills.

[Prism Force Field: Releases energy to form a 3×3 prism force field. Matter flying into the prism force field will be decelerated by the force field until it returns to zero. Skill duration: 6 seconds. Skill consumption: 40 energy points. Skill level: C.]

"The effect of this skill..." After listening to the data, Lin Zeyu was not sure whether this skill was strong or not.

"C-level skill, B-level defense effect." Lu Heng summarized.

The original [Prism Tower Shield] is a D-level skill with a C-level defense effect.

The upgraded [Prism Force Field] is a C-level skill with a B-level defense effect.

Just talking about defense, it is quite strong.

Of course, this skill is still the same as before, and you need to grasp the timing of release.

However, the duration has been increased from 3 seconds to 6 seconds, and the fault tolerance rate has been greatly improved.

When Lin Zeyu heard that it was a C-level skill with B-level defense, he found that the upgrade effect of this skill was a bit top-notch.

However, he changed his mind and felt that he would be the one who benefited the most from the upgrade of this [Prism Force Field].

From now on, when you snipe against someone in the middle of the door, you will be invincible for a stable 6 seconds, which is really cool.

After helping Su Muyu upgrade his skills, Lu Heng also looked at his own skill proficiency.

Among them, the proficiency of [Wind Step·Thrust] has reached (1920/2000), and it is not far from upgrading.

……

So for the next two days.

Lu Heng concentrated on improving his proficiency in the Wind Step. Two days later, in the morning, he had raised the proficiency of [Wind Step·Thrust] to 2000 points.

Before the sweat on his body had dried, Lu Heng unlocked the skill lock of Wind Step and injected 600 points of divine energy to upgrade it.

[The skill "Wind Walk·Thrust" has been upgraded to "Wind Walker". ]

【Wind Walker】

[Skill level: B level]

[Skill consumption: 5 energy/minute]

[Skill Effect: Gain the power to control the wind, running speed +120%. Charge for two seconds, gather the power of the wind, burst out a 3x acceleration effect, and launch a straight line sprint. At the same time, reduce wind resistance and increase the ability to withstand breaking the sound barrier. ]

Seeing the upgraded skills, Lu Heng's eyes lit up.

This upgrade actually granted me one of the three most powerful acceleration skills among the B-level skills.

[Wind Walker] In the previous life, this was a skill possessed by the first psychic whose speed broke the sound barrier.

However, this psychic who broke through the sound barrier only appeared one year after the abyss descended, and at that time he was already a peak psychic of over level 30.

It's only the seventh month now. It would be a bit scary if the sound barrier was broken at this point in time.

There are two main reasons why the skill [Wind Walker] can break the sound barrier. The first is to reduce wind resistance.

The second one is to accumulate energy on the spot for two seconds to burst out with a 3x acceleration effect to launch a straight line sprint.

The 3x acceleration effect here is not 300%, but 3 times the skill acceleration effect.

That is 120 times of 3%, and the actual acceleration effect is 360%.

Lu Heng found a spacious open space and tested the effect of his skills.

He accumulated strength for two seconds, then launched a straight-line charge, thrusting out with the sword, and rushed forward a hundred meters at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the man was already a hundred meters away.

However, the sound barrier was not broken during the sprint.

In fact, before the test, Lu Heng had already calculated the data mentally.

The current level is 26, with an agility attribute of 74 points. After being accelerated by the charged thrust of [Wind Walker], the instantaneous speed of the thrust exceeds 200 meters per second, which is still not enough to break the speed of the sound barrier.

However, this is only the acceleration of [Wind Walker]. If the 300% acceleration of [Shadow Walk] is added, according to the results of data calculation, it has reached the limit value of breaking the sound barrier.

Before I had time to test it, I suddenly received a call from Lin Zeyu.

Yuan Hecheng ran to the Fire Emblem Building looking haggard for help. After his daughter was drafted at twelve o'clock last night, he waited all night but she didn't come back.

"Please, save Yaoyao, save her..."

When Lu Heng arrived at the Fire Emblem Building, he saw Yuan Hecheng kneeling in front of Lin Zeyu and begging.

Lin Zeyu didn't know what to do. He had no idea at all.

Lu Heng had already heard about the incident on the phone, and it was almost noon now.

Yuan Yaoyao was teleported into the Abyss Battlefield at twelve o'clock last night. Almost half a day has passed, and she has not returned yet.

If this happens, it is basically a disaster.

Although there are many possibilities in the abyss world, there are also cases where the psychics fail to return on time but are not dead.

However, this kind of thing is a low-probability event and the probability of happening is very small.

Moreover, people outside the Abyss Battlefield cannot influence the people and things inside the Abyss Battlefield.

Even if Lu Heng wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Hecheng knew that no one could help him, but he was unwilling to accept this fact and finally collapsed to the ground.

Lu Heng helped him to rest on the sofa and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to start.

When something like this happens, no amount of comfort will help.

To Yuan Hecheng, his daughter was his life. Now that her life was gone, he had no meaning to live any longer.

As time came to twelve noon.

Two minutes later, Yuan Hecheng's cell phone rang. He picked it up and was stunned. The caller's name displayed on the phone was "Yaoyao".

He was stunned for half a second, then hurriedly answered the phone and shouted anxiously: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao, is that you?"

"Dad, where have you been? You weren't waiting for me at home."

Yuan Yaoyao's slightly complaining voice came from the phone.

Yuan Hecheng's expression suddenly turned into one of excitement and joy after surviving a disaster, and he said, "Dad will be back soon, Dad will be back soon, don't run around."

As he spoke, he continued talking on the phone while running out, trying to get a taxi.

Lin Zeyu quickly signaled to the manager to find someone to take him back.

After watching the person leave, Lin Zeyu was puzzled: "Half a day has passed, why did he suddenly appear again?"

Lu Heng looked at the clock on the wall of the club lobby. It was exactly five minutes past twelve noon.

Including the time when the phone call was made, the time when Yuan Yaoyao reappeared and the time of recruitment were exactly twelve hours.

Lu Heng had already guessed the reason in his mind. The abyss world above level 5 had a different flow of time than the main world.

In other words, Yuan Yaoyao was summoned into an abyss world of level 5 or above.

Reaching world level 5 does not mean that the mission difficulty is level 5.

Different battlefield modes have a great impact on the difficulty of the mission.

For example, in the same abyss world, the difficulty of survival mode is definitely lower than that of enemy annihilation mode. …

after an hour.

Yuan Hecheng and his daughter came to the Fire Emblem Building again.

Yuan Yaoyao hid behind her father a little shyly.

"Mr. Lu, Yaoyao said she has something to give you. Thank you for your help." Yuan Hecheng explained his purpose.

Yuan Yaoyao hurried forward, holding an oval transparent crystal and handed it to Lu Heng.

Lin Zeyu saw this and glared at him, "I helped you too, why did you only give him a gift?"

Yuan Yaoyao was stunned and mumbled, "I... I only have one..."

Su Muyu hurried over to touch her head and said, "Don't pay attention to this guy named Lin, he's just teasing you."

Lu Heng took the crystal and took a look at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Because this thing is actually a piece of source material, and it is a second-level source material.

Lu Heng held up the source essence, looked at Yuan Hecheng, and asked, "Do you really want to give this source essence to me?"

Yuan Yaoyao pursed her lips to reveal a smile and nodded.

When she smiled, she seemed a little more dull than before.

No one knows what she went through in the abyss battlefield, but she actually obtained a second-level source of essence.

This is a treasure that can only be extracted by powerful abyss monsters like the Flame Demon. How did a little girl like her get it?
Lu Heng mainly asked Yuan Hecheng this question, after all, he was the guardian.

Yuan Hecheng nodded and said, "I thought so too. It's better to give it to you. We don't need this source material, and the skill crystal core that Yaoyao absorbed is too expensive. If I don't use this to pay off part of the debt, I may not be able to pay back so much money in my lifetime."

Lu Heng thought about it and said, "Okay, we'll take this source material. It will offset the price of the crystal core Yaoyao used. In addition, we'll arrange a house for you in Qionghua Tianlu Lake. You can move in or sell it."

"Ah? I heard that the houses around Qionghua Tianlu Lake are very expensive." Yuan Hecheng was stunned.

Because the father and daughter were not well off, they didn't even dare to think about buying a house in Mingqiong District.

Moreover, ever since the news that the country was going to build a base city came out, the housing prices in Mingqiong District have skyrocketed, and now even if you have money, you cannot buy it.

Lu Heng held the second-level source material in his hand and said, "This source material is very valuable. I won't negotiate the price with you. Just consider it as a gift from me, and then I will give you a return gift."

"Okay, okay." Yuan Hecheng quickly agreed.

Because he had also heard some rumors that a base city was going to be built in the coastal area, and there were several opinions about the location of the base city. Some said it was Mingqiong District, and some said it was Ningyun District.

He didn't have accurate information, but he was clear about one thing: the news he didn't know was definitely known by a high-ranking figure like Lu Heng.

Therefore, if a base city is really built in the coastal area in the future, it will most likely be in Mingqiong District.

But now the housing prices in Mingqiong District have skyrocketed, which is something he dared not even imagine.

However, the base city will be the safest place in the future, and he certainly wants to give his daughter the safest environment.

Therefore, he was filled with gratitude to be able to get a house in Mingqiong District.

……

The second-level source material given by Yuan Yaoyao is very suitable for Su Muyu's job level.

There are quite a lot of people here now, and if she is fed directly, there will be safety risks.

After all, after absorbing the source essence, a battle for the source essence will begin, and you will become the target of attack and killing by other source essence contenders.

Therefore, Lu Heng first put away this second-level source material and prepared to give it to Su Muyu at night.

A few days ago, because Yuan Yaoyao was called up, Yuan Hecheng was not in the mood to participate in the quenching work.

Now, Yuan Yaoyao has returned safely.

Lu Heng asked, "Do you have time to work now? Or should I give you a few more days to rest?"

Yuan Hecheng waved his hands quickly: "No need to rest, I can do it, I can work now."

He thought that if he moved to Qionghua Tianlu Lake in the future, his living expenses would definitely increase, so the right thing to do was to work and make money.

Moreover, now that his daughter is back safely, he is full of energy and just wants to work hard.

"Well, follow me into the Quenching Castle."

Lu Heng said this and stood up and walked towards the club's clock tower.

"Then Yaoyao..." Yuan Hecheng didn't know what to do with his daughter, so he thought of sending her home first.

"You can come in together." Lu Heng waved for them to follow.

"Hey! Hey!" Yuan Hecheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly pulled his daughter to follow.

He never expected that even his daughter could enter the Quenching Castle.

In the circle of tempering masters, the Quenching Castle is equivalent to a temple, and it is extremely difficult to enter.

Now, not only could he enter Quenching Castle, he could also bring his daughter in with him.

The group entered the Quenching Fort from the bell tower entrance and walked straight into the forge.

Lu Heng began to heat the furnace in preparation for quenching.

Yuan Hecheng asked nervously, "I haven't passed the test yet, can I use the quenching furnace now? I heard that if Master Guru is unhappy, he will kick people out."

Lin Zeyu laughed and said, "In the Quenching Castle, apart from Master Guru, Lu Heng has the final say. Whoever he wants to let in can come in, and whoever he wants to train as a Quencher can be a Quencher."

After the preparations were completed, Lu Heng explained the workflow:
"I'm going to make you my assistant, mainly responsible for controlling the temperature of the furnace. Can you do that?"

"Yes, that's no problem. The job I'm most confident in is controlling the temperature of the furnace." Yuan Hecheng nodded quickly.

His initial talent is [High Temperature Balance], and he is much better than other tempering masters in controlling the temperature of the furnace.

Lu Heng asked him to be his assistant, which meant that he indirectly possessed the talent of [High Temperature Balance].

"Also, I will let you handle the quenching orders below level 3. Are you still an apprentice quencher now?"

"Yes, I am still an apprentice hardener, so I have fewer opportunities to harden."

"It doesn't matter, it will rise slowly."

Lu Heng encouraged him with a few words, and then began to quench him.

The reason why he was given the quenching orders below level 3 was to share the work time of taking orders and to train a quencher with good talent.

In addition, after the level is upgraded to [Advanced Hardener], hardener operations below level 3 will basically not gain any professional experience.

Lu Heng is now undergoing quenching below level 3, and his professional experience is basically not increasing.

It was just right to give this part of the work to Yuan Hecheng, and I was responsible for quenching above level 3, which not only saved time but also did not delay the improvement of the quencher's experience.

Afterwards, Lu Heng completed the thirty or so quenching orders that had accumulated over the past few days.

Then quench and upgrade Su Muyu's crossbow and Lin Zeyu's SVD sniper rifle.

Upgrade the quenching level of both weapons to level +9.

Su Muyu's [Mia's Crossbow]'s attack power increased to 150 points.

Since it has not undergone secondary forging, this crossbow is still C-grade.

For a C-class crossbow, 150 points of attack power is already very powerful.

If there are materials for secondary forging, the attack power can immediately exceed 200 points.
