From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 281: Advancement to Master Level

Because the accommodation prices are so scary, and I have to stay in this world for at least 16 days, the accommodation fee alone is unbearable.

Therefore, the group only dared to book three rooms.

Three members of Rong Xincheng's team shared a room, Lu Heng, Lin Zeyu and Xie Shien squeezed into a room, and Su Muyu lived in a room alone.

Fortunately, the biggest feature of the elves' buildings is that they are spacious.

A room in the hotel is estimated to be about 200 square meters, so it is no problem for a leader to stay in.

Because the room was too spacious, Su Muyu felt a little uncomfortable.

She was the only one in the empty room, feeling inexplicably lonely.

She had no choice but to release the Chongming Bird and said to the fiery red bird: "It's our first night in the Elf King's City. This room is many times bigger than ours. I'm going to sleep now. Chongming Bird, you take care of the door. We have to go to the Jewel Workshop to work tomorrow."

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, the group went to the industrial area of ​​the Elf King City and entered the workshop to start work.

Lu Heng started with the level 6 quenching process, quenching an elf's long-handled weapon.

This polearm is like a javelin and can be thrown, but is mostly used as a melee weapon.

Kyle Zhuoen watched from the side, and after confirming that Lu Heng was capable of completing the quenching independently, he walked away with confidence to take charge of other work.

Lu Heng started from level 6 quenching, and after cooperating with his assistant, he quenched three weapons at the same time and rolled them up.

The experience of the Tempering Master's secondary profession also increases rapidly in this process.

After completing the level 6 quenching of this batch of weapons, Kyle Dron came over to check the quenching effect.

He was very surprised: "You finished it so quickly?"

Since the elves live a very leisurely pace of life, they also work slowly.

After all, they have a thousand years to live and can slowly squander it, so there is naturally no need to race against time.

At first, Kyle Dron felt that Lu Heng was tempering too quickly and was worried that the success rate would be too low.

He checked the quenching materials in the box and found that not much material had been consumed.

After the weapon quenching fails, the quencher will continue to invest in quenching materials and repeat the quenching process.

Therefore, when quenching weapons on a large scale, the lower the quenching success rate, the more materials will be consumed.

Keldron is the master temperer on duty. He is very experienced and can estimate the approximate success rate just by taking a glance at the remaining quenching materials.

Therefore, just by taking a quick look at the material box on Lu Heng's workstation, he could estimate that Lu Heng's quenching success rate was around 90%.

A 90% quenching success rate is already at the first-tier level in the elves' quenching workshop.

As a master temperer, he can only guarantee a 6% success rate when performing level 90 tempering.

Now that Lu Heng has reached the level of a senior hardening master, he can achieve this success rate, which shows that his skills are very high.

What's even more terrifying is that Lu Heng's quenching speed is three or four times that of other elven quenchers. While others finish quenching one weapon, Lu Heng has already completed three.

At the beginning, Kyle Zhuoen was worried that Lu Heng’s success rate was too low, so he only arranged level 6 quenching work for him, but now he finds that Lu Heng’s level is far beyond his expectations.

He pointed to the batch of weapons that had just completed level 6 quenching and said, "Then you can continue. All these weapons will be upgraded to level 9."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, then asked, "Can the payment be made on a daily basis? The hotel accommodation price is a bit high."

Yesterday, Su Muyu paid for accommodation with inscription gems. The number of inscription gems was not large, and it was a bit of a luxury to use them to pay for accommodation.

Moreover, this time helping in the elves' workshop, I wouldn't have to work too long, three to five days at most.

Once the Abyss Summoner appears, you need to complete the battlefield mission first.

Therefore, daily settlement will be much more convenient.

Kyle Zhuoen thought for a moment and knew that Lu Heng and the other recruits would not stay for long, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, come find me after work today."

Lu Heng was very satisfied with this and continued to quench the weapons, raising the quenching level of this batch of weapons from level 6 to level 9.

After it was over, it was already evening.

The elves' tempering masters have left one after another, and only a few craftsmen are left in the workshop.

Lu Heng completed the last level 9 quenching, and then asked Kyle Zhuoen to come and check the quenching effect.

Keldron picked a few weapons to check and was very satisfied with the results: "Very good, I didn't expect you to finish the work of other tempering masters in three or four days in one day. It's great to have your help.

"Oh, this is the daily pay you mentioned before. It is paid according to the Quenching Workshop standard. The total is 300 crystal coins."

As he spoke, he handed a bag to Lu Heng and added, "Come back tomorrow, and I'll give you the spirit injection work. Can you finish it?"

"Of course, one or two times of infusion will do, and the success rate should be as high as 70%." Lu Heng wanted to perform the infusion even more.

The reason is very simple, spirit infusion gives a lot of experience.

After today's work, the professional experience of the senior hardener has reached (2750/3000).

At this rate, I should be able to reach the master level in two or three days.

……

night.

Everyone came out of the workshop again, gathered together and returned to the hotel in the commercial district.

Lu Heng raised the purse in his hand and tossed it, then put it in Su Muyu's hand and said, "Use this to pay for accommodation in the future."

When everyone saw Su Muyu taking out the crystal coins from his purse, they asked in surprise, "Where did you get the elven currency?"

"Daily pay, didn't you mention it?" Lu Heng blinked.

Lin Zeyu's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "It's good that they didn't ask me to pay money."

His job is a forging assistant, and this secondary job really doesn't have much "money prospects".

Of course, a forging assistant can improve fire resistance, so it’s worth it to level up, but it’s difficult to make money.

Because of the different forging procedures, Lin Zeyu made several mistakes while working and wasted a lot of materials.

Fortunately, the elves didn't care too much about this and didn't ask him to pay any money.

Others are in similar situations.

Rong Xincheng is still an [Apprentice Inscriptionist]. This secondary profession requires spending money to gain experience in the early stages. It is great if he can gain experience in the gem workshop.

Xie Shien is an [Apprentice Formation Master] and his situation is similar.

Only Su Muyu is a [Senior Inscription Master], whose work efficiency is higher than that of other elven inscription masters, and is eligible for remuneration.

However, this girl was quite honest and did not mention the daily payment, thinking that she could only ask for the payment at the end.

When Su Muyu heard that Lu Heng could get paid on a daily basis, she glared and pounded her fist and said, "No, I want to get paid on a daily basis tomorrow as well. And I want to get today's pay as well."

……

For the next three days, the group worked in the workshop in the Elf King's City.

During these three days, several other human beings with special abilities were qualified to enter the inner city.

Another person with special abilities entered the quenching workshop.

This psychic originally wanted to show his skills in the quenching workshop, but when he came in, he found many elf quenchers surrounding a quenching furnace.

And the person standing in front of this quenching furnace was none other than Lu Heng.

The elves are so leisurely. They found it very interesting to see the human tempering masters working so efficiently that they actually put down their work and came to watch.

Before Lu Heng came, their work was very busy because they had to rush the work.

After Lu Heng arrived, he worked faster alone than three people. Now it's even more exaggerated, he put five weapons into the quenching furnace together.

Since these weapons are of the same standard, the quenching level is the same, and the process is exactly the same, they can be mixed together.

The disadvantage is that the success rate will be slightly reduced, but due to the fast speed, this reduction in success rate is completely tolerable. It just consumes a little more quenching material.

With Lu Heng's help, the quenching workshop no longer needed to rush, so the elven quenchers began to relax again and watched elegantly from the side.

The psychic who sneaked into the quenching workshop started twitching when he saw this scene.

He had originally wanted to gain some experience in his secondary profession here, and at the same time improve his favorability with the elves, but now his plans had been ruined.

……

Three days.

Lu Heng finally gained enough professional experience as a senior hardener.

The closer you get to the end of the secondary career experience, the harder it is to obtain, so Lu Heng simply piles it up in quantity.

Relatively speaking, the experience gained from the soul injection process is more than that from the quenching process. So Lu Heng used soul injection to gain the last 100 experience points.

The last soul infusion was completed, and a smile appeared on Lu Heng's face when he saw the professional experience he gained.

[Complete the soul infusion operation, Tempering Master professional experience +10]

[Advanced Hardener Experience reaches (3000/3000), promoted to Master Hardener. 】

[Secondary Occupation: Master Temperer (0/5000)]

[Master Tempering Master: Tempering Success Rate +40%, Spirit Infusion Success Rate +30%, Flame Resistance +40%]

After being promoted to a master temperer, Lu Heng completed the remaining work and gained professional experience to (80/5000).

In the evening, Kyle Zhuoen came to inspect the results. When he saw Lu Heng doing the final spiritual infusion, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"Friend from the human world, has your tempering level improved again?"

Lu Heng nodded and thanked him: "Yes, it has improved a little, and I also want to thank Mr. Kyle Zhuoen for his help."

Kyle Dron is a master-level tempering master, which is equivalent to Lu Heng’s current level of tempering master.

Of course, Kyle Dron has more than half the experience as a master temperer, and his level is still higher than Lu Heng.

Even so, he was still surprised.

He was also very satisfied with Lu Heng's work in the past few days. With Lu Heng's help, their quenching workshop completed the work of upgrading the weapons of the Elf Guard ahead of schedule.

……

Since the weapon upgrade task at the Quenching Workshop has been completed, Lu Heng no longer needs to come to the workshop after receiving the last payment.

The group of seven stayed in the workshop of the Elf King's City for four days. They had not heard any news of the invasion of the Abyss Summoners yet, but they had been staying in the city for a long time and were somewhat isolated from the news.

So, after Lu Heng finished his work in the quenching workshop, he walked out of Kolos City for the next two days, moved around the outer city, and also tried to accept some bounties for hunting demons.

The Quel'dorei continent has been invaded by the abyss for seven hundred years. It has become a normal practice for the elves to put bounties on demons, and a bounty is issued every once in a while.

This is also the main way for other human psychics to increase their reputation with the elves.

therefore.

When Lu Heng arrived at the bulletin board outside the city, he saw several human superpowers waiting there for the reward.

Fortunately, before coming to the Elf King's City, I killed a lich and got the magic secret book of Augustus, otherwise I would have to wait for the bounty on the bulletin board like them.

Just as Lu Heng was watching the fun, a voice came from behind him.

"Anka, I didn't expect to see you here, what a fate."

When Lu Heng heard the voice, he recognized who it was. Turning back, he saw Chen Zihang stroking the big head of the mechanical tiger Anka.

Chen Zihang waved and said hello: "I heard that you went to the inner city before, but I couldn't contact you."

Lu Heng had not come out since he entered the Elf King City, so he didn't know that Chen Zihang had also been recruited, and he was a little surprised to see him.

"You were drafted, too? Alone?"

Chen Zihang shook his head and replied, "No, the scale of this conscription is a bit large. We have a squad here, rushing out from the Dark Werewolf."

After hearing what he said, Lu Heng took the initiative to say, "Let's sit down and exchange information."

"Okay, I also want to ask you how you got into the inner city. Come with me, I'll take you to meet the other people." Chen Zihang said as he led Lu Heng to a hotel in the outer city.

After entering the spacious room of the hotel, I met nine other people, all of whom were soldiers, and the leader was Zhuo Hongjun.

When their eyes met, Zhuo Hongjun showed a complicated look in his eyes.

In fact.

He had heard a few days ago that Lu Heng had entered the inner city, which made him a little unhappy.

Ever since he met Lu Heng, he has always been better than Lu Heng in everything.

He has always been the number one among his peers since he was a child, and has always been the most outstanding one. Now he is completely suppressed by Lu Heng, which makes it impossible for him to have a good impression of Lu Heng.

Even when the Longwei Mercenary Group was formed last time, he was parachuted in as deputy leader, and he thought it was impressive enough.

As a result, Lu Hengyi appeared, the airborne honorary commander, and stepped on his head.

And it wasn't just Lu Heng who stepped on his head. Even Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu became honorary leaders and stepped on his head together.

The person he was most dissatisfied with was Lin Zeyu. He was just a rich young man, but he could become his immediate superior.

Whenever he saw Lin Zeyu, he had to stand at attention and salute, which made him almost angry.

In addition to Zhuo Hongjun, there are three other people I know who were recruited this time.

He was a member of the team that entered the Sulfur River fog area together. One of them was a supernatural warrior who obtained the source of the fire demon [Flame Messenger].

When Lu Heng saw them appear, he immediately knew what was going on with them.

When a supernatural warrior with the rank of captain like Zhuo Hongjun is recruited, the Daxia military will definitely look for warriors with the same countdown in the troop series, and then draw them together for arrangement.

Lu Heng looked around and asked, "Jian Qing didn't come in?"

Chen Zihang nodded and replied, "No, Captain Jian was not drafted. It was just the ten of us. We were teleported to the Dark Werewolf's territory together, and it took us a few days to get out."

The supernatural warriors in these troop series may not be very strong individually, but they definitely have the best coordination when fighting as a group.

Moreover, they will conduct special tactical training for psychics, so when encounters occur, many high-level psychic teams may not be able to win.

However, after seeing Zhuo Hongjun, Lu Heng frowned slightly.

Because of the relationship in the previous life, it is very clear that the current deputy leader of the Longwei Mercenary Group is a famous gilded god of war and is the biggest uncertainty in this team.

However, Chen Zihang is here, and besides him, there are three other superpower warriors who are protecting the nuclear power plant in Liuchuan.

We have fought side by side before, so if I can help, I will definitely give them a hand.

So Lu Heng first sat down and discussed the situation with them.

Chen Zihang asked curiously, "I heard a few days ago that a team entered the Elf King City. After asking a few people, I guessed it must be you. Tell me, how did you get in?"

Lu Heng did not elaborate, and simply answered: "I killed a lich, picked up the magic secret book of the great arcanist Augustus, and sent it back to him, and I was qualified to enter the city."

Chen Zihang exclaimed: "What a pity, we have been waiting for a few days to offer a bounty, but there is no important target."

Lu Heng then asked, "By the way, have you been hunted by unknown forces in the past few days?"

Chen Zihang asked back, "Are you talking about the second main mission? It's strange. After we came here, we heard that other superpowers were hunted by unknown forces, but we didn't encounter them.

"Also, we haven't heard of any other psychics being attacked since we arrived. It seems like this unknown force has suddenly disappeared."

When Lu Heng heard him say this, he frowned and thought about it.

Combined with the information mentioned by Xie Shien earlier, it seems that some things are becoming clear.

Xie Shien had mentioned before that the mysterious killer who was hunting him was targeting the life-saving box on his body.

Chen Zihang also said that he had not heard of the mysterious killer appearing in the past few days.

Combining the two pieces of information, it seems that this mysterious killer discovered that the life-saving box was on Xie Shien and no longer hunted down other humans.

His only target is Xie Shien.

To be precise, his target was the life box.

Since Xie Shien stayed in the Elf King City these days, it was impossible for the mysterious killer to chase into the Elf King City, so he did not show up.

Lu Heng could not tell anyone the information that Xie Shien had a life-saving casket on him and that the mysterious killer was targeting the casket.

The fewer people who know this secret, the better.

Lu Heng then asked, "By the way, after you came out of the Dark Werewolf's territory, did you obtain the Dark Werewolf's bloodline rank?"

Chen Zihang answered without thinking: "Yes..."

He had barely finished speaking when Zhuo Hongjun interrupted him, "Chen Zihang, go out and see if there are any new bounties."

"Me?" Chen Zihang pointed at his nose, looking a little surprised.

Because he was not Zhuo Hongjun's subordinate, because he was a student of the National Defense Academy and was assigned to Zhuo Hongjun's team after being recruited.

Therefore, normally, Zhuo Hongjun would not speak to him in a commanding tone.

It was obvious that Zhuo Hongjun's request for Chen Zihang to go and see the reward was fake because he actually didn't want him to speak.

Another superpower warrior stood up and said, "I'll go and see."

Chen Zihang was too lazy to stand up and continued to sit.

He looked at Lu Heng and asked, "By the way, since you can enter the Elf King City, can you take us in?"

"Well... I can." Lu Heng didn't finish his words because he was still considering whether to take them in.
