If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"Anyway, we've already made 200 million, so we might as well pay back some of the deposit."

"Okay, coming right now!" Lilia deliberately stomped her feet heavily on the floor, as if to remind Lina that she was really leaving.

Hearing the sound, Lina, who was walking in front, clicked her tongue, stopped, and looked at the two people who hadn't retreated at all and were still following behind her. She said:

"You two little brats, you really don't know any better!"

"Alright, I'll tell you."

"The elite-level skills I want to study... are highly related to dragon species."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow, then turned around and prepared to leave with Lilya.

With so little information, who are you trying to fool?

In our past lives, we were shrewd Eastern Jews! We were masters at manipulating people's hearts.

Seeing Lynn turn and leave, Lina sighed, put one hand on her hip, and fanned herself with a folding fan, saying:

"Aren't the men in the Knightworth family all pretty simple-minded?"

"How did you end up here, you greedy little brat?"

Lina complained, but in the end she took a step back and explained:

"Alright, stop pretending."

"What I'm researching is indeed elite-level, but it's not a skill."

"Not a skill?" Lynn stopped and turned around, looking at Lina with curiosity. "Then what is it?"

At this moment, Lina raised an eyebrow, but with a hint of smugness, she tilted her chin up:

Have you heard of dragon-attribute Stigmata?

Lynn, who was already reluctant to walk, was now even more unable to take those steps:

"I would like to hear more details!"

Chapter 110 Profanity still needs to be done by professionals!

Seeing Lynn stop and listen attentively, Lina immediately prepared to explain.

However, at this moment, Lilia couldn't help but whisper:

"There's a dragon attribute among the attribute stigmata? I've never heard of that before?"

As Lilia spoke, she kept glancing at Lynn, signaling him to pay attention to the issue.

Then Lilia was glared at by Lina, who said disdainfully:

"With your dull-witted appearance, you probably haven't even passed the exam to become a professor of Stigmata Studies in the church, have you?"

"If you didn't pass the exam, shut up and don't show off your cheap brain in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Lilia immediately shut her mouth, clearly well aware of the high value of the Church's Stigmata Studies qualification.

After all, the title of Professor of Stigmata Studies is one that very few people can obtain without a letter of recommendation; it can only be obtained through an examination.

After criticizing Lillia's intelligence, Lina turned her gaze to Lynn and said with a hint of excitement:

"Do you know?"

"Dragon blood can amplify all known elemental magic, thus making the skills used by dragon-blooded beings more powerful than those of other adventurers under the same conditions."

"This is not an amplification of a single attribute, but rather of all known attributes."

"Initially, while researching dragon blood, I tried to study the attributes that could not be amplified by dragon blood, and whether dragon was an independent attribute."

"The previous experiment failed because I didn't have enough dragon blood. At the same time, the dragon blood I have can indeed amplify the power of all attributes; it's just a matter of how much."

"Based on the previous experiment, I have discovered that dragon blood can indeed appear as a separate stigma attribute."

"It's just that the experimental sample is too small, the number of people in the Dragon Blood Clan is not large, and the number of deaths is too small, which has caused my research to get stuck on the progress bar of condensing skill stones."

"Upon reaching this progress bar, a peculiar corpse appeared."

Lina glanced at Lynn as she said this.

That look made Lynn instantly understand, and she exclaimed in astonishment:

"Is that Jeken's body?"

The man who wasn't from a dragonblood family but coveted the red dragon blood of the Knightwalker family, killed Lynn Knightwalker, and then tried to use Lynn's appearance to cover up his crimes.

His body, Lynn remembered, seemed to be a rare one, a body that had usurped the blood of the red dragon through the primitive bloodline rituals recorded in the Gospels.

"You're right, it's Jeken's body."

Lina unfolded her folding fan, squinted her eyes, and waved the fan with an expression of enjoyment, saying:

"I never expected that the corpse of an ordinary person who had usurped the dragon's blood would give me my final inspiration."

"This means that what was originally just an experiment to test elite-level dragon-attribute skills can be taken a step further and directly involve engraving dragon-attribute holy marks."

"Engraved sacred marks?"

Lilia looked at Lina in shock, her gaze clearly directed at a research fanatic:

"Isn't that a path that the Gospel Church abandoned long ago?"

"Why are you researching this kind of skill?"

Upon hearing the words 'Evangelical Fellowship,' Lina glanced at Lilia, then at Lynn. Seeing that Lynn didn't react, she gave up and said directly:

"The Evangelicals abandoned the engraving of stigmata because they were too greedy and wanted to find universal stigmata that could be used by adventurers in all bloodlines."

"Heh, they were so crazy that after they figured out the advantages of bloodlines, they even wanted to incorporate the advantages of Holy Marks into their grasp, which is why they failed and caused the deaths of many elites."

"But I am different!"

Lina narrowed her eyes and said with a hint of smugness in her voice:

"All I want is for the Dragon attribute Stigmata to become a skill and be recognized by the Stigmata system!"

"That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn suddenly realized something and said with a strange expression:

"You wouldn't be thinking of using the divine grace of the Stigmata to discover Dragon-attribute Stigmata, would you?"

Lina glanced at Lynn in surprise upon hearing this:

"Does your brain work very quickly?"

Then, she closed her fan and pointed the tip at Lynn's chest, saying:

"Just as you thought!"

"What I need to borrow is indeed the divine grace brought by the stigmata."

"When the 'Stigma System' is upgraded to the Elite level, it will discover the adventurer's attribute direction and anchor the pattern of the 'Stigma' at the center of their forehead."

"This process is completed automatically after leveling up to level 30. Generally speaking, the attributes that are discovered are the attributes that account for the largest proportion of all the adventurer's own power."

"So, what if, when the adventurer reaches level 30, it just so happens—and I mean just so happens—that his dominant attribute is the Dragon attribute?"

Lily's mouth gradually opened wide, staring dumbfounded at the 'madman' in front of her:

"Interfering with the selection of the Stigmata system? My God... If the church found out about this, those fanatics would probably go crazy!"

Thinking of this, Lilia couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Who exactly is the Gospel Church?!"

Lilia suddenly realized that those bloodline researchers in the Evangelical Church were nothing but blasphemers, and that those who were in the church system but were researching and interfering with God's grace were the real blasphemers!

"It's just some behavior that takes advantage of the rules. Only the most stubborn old fogies would cling to the argument that 'the laws of the gods cannot be changed'."

Lina sneered at this, turned around again, and said with her back to Lynn and Lilia:

"Alright, the theory is over. You should now have a basic understanding of the situation."

Lina turned her head and looked back at Lynn with her sky-blue eyes:

"Then, do you want to join me in blaspheming the gods?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn smiled:

"The so-called gods are nothing more than predecessors who came before me!"

He started walking, smiling as he followed Lina, saying in a sly tone:

"Following the rules of our predecessors is certainly safe and stable, but forging a new path with you, Miss Lina, is also a refreshing experience~"

"What if it fails?" Lina raised an eyebrow, her expression playful. "Would you still be willing to try?"

"Of course!"

Lynn answered without hesitation.

But after saying that, he quickly added:

"But it'll cost extra!"

At this moment, Lilia chimed in from the side:

"And we must ensure safety!"

After Lilia finished speaking, she gazed intently at Lina's face:

"It's absolutely safe!"

Lina raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then turned around, beckoning to the two with her back to them, and said:

"It seems it's time to show you the professional level of the 'Professor of Stigmata Studies'."

Upon hearing this, Lynn exchanged a glance with Lilia and then quickly followed after her.

10 minutes later,

Inside Lina's research lab.

Lynn sat on a bed that resembled a hospital bed, holding a purple square skill stone in her hand.

After examining it closely, Lynn noticed that there seemed to be fine, hard-to-detect cracks on the skill stone.

"Is this the dragon-attribute Stigmata?"

"To be precise, it's a dragon-attribute skill called 'Stigmata'."

Standing to the side, Lina, now wearing a white lab coat, walked over carrying documents and said calmly:

"Even if it fails after use, at most it will just cause mental overload and keep you in a hospital bed for a few days."

"But if it's now, I'll allow you to change your mind."

"We've already taken the money, there's no reason for us to go back on our word."

Lynn smiled and affixed the purple skill stone to the black stigmata on the back of his right hand:

"Besides, even if I really have to lie down for a few days, with you, Lina, taking care of me, it doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, Lina gave him a strange look, then glanced at Lilia, who was about the same size as her, and said subtly:

"You little brat, you actually like my type?"

"You have quite the appetite!"

Lynn didn't answer, because the skill stone, which was gradually getting hot, told him the answer.

Absorption begins!

Chapter 111 Is there any point in living like this? (Fourth update)

A scalding heat flowed from the stigmata on the back of his right hand, as if the blood flowing through his arm was being heated.

Compared to the previous phenomenon of only getting hot when absorbing a stigma, the reaction when absorbing this skill stone is clearly different.

At this moment, seeing the skill stone's color begin to change, Lina released several reconnaissance skills in succession. After confirming that there was nothing amiss, she eagerly asked:
