Chu Lingyan was surprised. "Master, is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Her gaze fell on the two crystals, one dark purple and gourd-shaped, the other bright red like blood and irregularly shaped.
Chu Lingyan thought to herself: It's just so-so. Judging from its appearance alone, it's far inferior to my Thunderstone.
Lin Yu remained calm and asked, "Master, is there any problem with using these two crystals for setting?"
Sun Ziqiong quickly shook his head: "No problem, absolutely no problem! This is the highest quality gem I have ever seen, it's truly top-grade!"
"Top-grade?" Chu Lingyan retorted, unconvinced.
"Master, may I take a look?"
Sun Ziqiong looked at Lin Yu, seeking his opinion.
Lin Yu smiled, like a friendly older brother next door, and then declined.
Chu Lingyan's cheeks puffed out: "How can you be so stingy? Would it kill you to take a look?"
Lin Yu completely ignored it.
Lin Yu began discussing the inlaying with Sun Ziqiong, and he handed over the blue stone sword.
After examining the area, Sun Ziqiong identified five suitable locations for inlaying. Lin Yu, considering factors such as lightness and aesthetics, chose two locations at the end of the hilt.
“Okay, two inlays, 100,000 in total, I’ll give you a 20% discount, 80,000.” Sun Ziqiong quoted the price.
"Thank you." Lin Yu paid immediately.
The two signed a renovation agreement on the spot.
"Alright, you can go now. Come pick it up at this time tomorrow," Sun Ziqiong said, reverting to his usual stern expression.
Lin Yu left without lingering.
Sun Ziqiong frowned and glanced at Chu Lingyan: "Miss Chu Lingyan, aren't you leaving yet?"
Chu Lingyan bit her lip, unwilling to give up, and said, "Master, I want to see those two gems. Are they really top-quality? I don't believe it!"
Sun Ziqiong said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, but according to the agreement, the gemstone cannot be handed over to others without the employer's permission."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But if you really want to know, I can tell you about these two gems."
Name: Celestial Amethyst
Type: Ore.
Effect: Holding it increases mana regeneration speed by 100%, and embedding it in a weapon increases the weapon's power by 100%.
At the same time, it can restore a weapon to its original state when it explodes.
Rating: 3 stars
Chu Lingyan's beautiful eyes widened, unable to hide her shock. Only two words remained in her mind: "Holy crap!"
"The effect of this gem is just too incredible! It really is a top-grade gem!" Chu Lingyan stammered.
However, this was not the end. Sun Ziqiong continued to tell:
Name: Celestial Blood Crystal.
Type: Ore.
Effect: Holding it increases all life recovery effects by 50%, and allows you to maintain full combat power even when critically injured or near death.
When embedded in a weapon, it increases attack speed by 100%.
Rating: 3 stars.
"Ah, this!" Chu Lingyan was stunned, feeling that it was unreal. It was another top-grade gem!
To be honest, she was a little jealous.
Chu Lingyan then thought of her own lightning stone. Without comparison, there is no harm. Before, she actually showed it off in front of Lin Yu.
In an instant, Chu Lingyan's cheeks flushed red.
"Um, Master, I have something to attend to, I'll be going now." Chu Lingyan rushed away.
Nothing much happened today, so Lin Yu ran four more dungeons, bringing his experience points to 33%. As it turned out, Lin Yu's initial worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Once he reached level 10, the rate at which he gained experience points slowed down significantly. Even if he ran dungeons every day for the past few days, it was unlikely that he would reach level 11.
That evening, Lin Yu surfed the internet and, using a secondary account, left a comment under a post titled: "[Chief Lin's unparalleled talent easily defeats Chief Song with one hand]":
"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'one-handedly crushing'? Chief Lin could wipe him out with a flick of his finger!"
At the same time, Song Tianhuo was furious. He had just returned from the dungeon when he heard the devastating news: the title of the number one child genius in Jiangnan Province had changed hands.
"Armor-piercing blade? True damage?" Song Tianhuo's expression turned solemn.
He had long suspected that Lin Yu had a talent for armor penetration. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after learning that the so-called armor penetration talent was actually real injury, he couldn't sit still any longer.
Without a doubt, this is a talent even greater than his.
When Qingxue returned home, she also felt somewhat uneasy.
"Such extraordinary talent!" Qingxue murmured.
"No, I must become stronger to suppress him. I'll tell Grandpa later that I want to go to the deserted island secret realm this time too!"
Wang Xiaoran lay on the bed, torn, swinging her long, white legs: "A deserted island secret realm? To go or not to go?"
Lin Yu slept peacefully that night. The next morning, Lin Yu went to the Silver Moon Mall again and successfully retrieved the Green Stone Sword.
The setting went smoothly, and the two gemstones matched the bluestone sword perfectly.
The moment Lin Yu held it, he could clearly feel that it had become different from before, with a special power swirling around the sword.
Lin Yu casually swung his sword, and the air seemed to groan as it was struck. The power of this sword strike was doubled, and the speed of the strike was also doubled.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Sun Ziqiong asked.
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Lin Yu smiled.
"I'll definitely come back to see you next time!"
After exchanging pleasantries with Sun Ziqiong, Lin Yu left and then rushed to his next destination—the Item Enhancement Pavilion.
This is a place that people both love and hate. The magnificent domed buildings are filled with excited screams, angry roars, and mournful wails.
"Once you enter the world of enhancement, you'll find yourself in a sea of troubles, and items will start falling apart at any moment." Lin Yu muttered to himself as he stepped into the Item Enhancement Pavilion.
