Chapter 24: Magic Item

The Transcendents ran amok in the shop, and their abilities flew everywhere to the point they almost tore the shop down.

On the other hand, it was quiet and peaceful outside the shop.

Thanks to his colleagues from the security bureau, the entire street was blocked off.

Apart from the four people who stayed behind, it was empty.

When Su Mo walked out, he even saw that Xue Qiaoqiao was drinking a cup of milk tea.

She looked so carefree that it was as if she was just here to take a stroll. She didn’t seem like she was on a mission.

“If you had a laptop to watch your dramas, that would be perfect.”

“Oh my, you’re right. I’ll bring a laptop next time,” Xue Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement.

“I don’t think Captain Zhang and Deacon Xu would be happy to see this.”

“Well, what can we do?” Xue Qiaoqiao blinked innocently, “I’m a healer. You can’t let me go to the front line, right? Besides, if I do, the enemy will definitely target me and throw all their attacks at me. If my teammates don’t protect me in time, I’ll be dead on the battlefield.”

Xue Qiaoqiao feigned a look as if she was about to cry, looking pitiful and helpless.

Seeing this drama queen’s performance, Su Mo could not help but roll his eyes and ask, “Do you still have milk tea?”

“I only have this cup, and I’ve already drunk it. Do you want it?”

“Are you willing to give it to me?”

“Haha, in your dreams,” Xue Qiaoqiao took a sip of the cheese smugly, her pretty almond-shaped eyes narrowing in happiness.

However, at this moment, a warm voice suddenly came from nearby, “I also have milk tea here, and it’s still unopened. Do you want it?”

Su Mo looked at the fashionably dressed beauty beside him.

If he didn’t remember wrongly, this person and the timid-looking girl beside her had both stood behind Chen Rong.

In other words, they were all members of Team Dongfang.

After reading their stats, he found out that one of them was a beast tamer and the other was a marksman, both at level 1.

No wonder they were left outside.

Looking at the milk tea in the beast tamer’s hand, Su Mo smiled and shook his head, “Thank you. I was just saying. You don’t have to take it seriously.”

“But I have extra milk tea,” The beast tamer said in a sweet voice.

Xue Qiaoqiao gave him a sidelong glance and Su Mo shrugged his shoulders.

Before he could refuse, the level 1 enchanter, who he had met once in the garrison residence, suddenly said, “I’m a little thirsty too. Do you want me to help you drink it?”

The beast tamer looked at the pimples on the enchanter’s face and silently retracted her hand. She abruptly said, “I almost forgot, this cup was ordered by our captain. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” The young enchanter smiled brightly, “We’re all teammates, so we should help each other. May I know your names?”

“I’m He Shuang, a level 1 beast tamer. This is Xu Huimei, a level 1 marksman.”

“I’m Ren Zehong, a level one enchanter. I’ve been awakened for five days and have mastered two abilities.”

He Shuang was slightly surprised, “Did you awaken a new ability in five days?”

“It was just luck, luck.”

this can’t be explained by luck. I’ve been following the paradigms for a month now and haven’t gained any new abilities.

“Maybe I’m more suited for the enchanter profession,” Ren Zehong laughed out loud, but he could not hide the smugness on his face.

“You enchanters should be very good at smithing magic items, right?” After hearing about Ren Zehong’s profession, He Shuang seemed to be a little more enthusiastic.

Hearing this, Su Mo also silently perked up his ears.

Ren Zehong’s expression was a little awkward, “It’s not that easy to forge magic items. It’s said that the first magic items were made by the friars, but there were simply too few friars, and the number of magic items they made couldn’t meet the needs of the Transcendents at all. It was until later that the profession of enchanter was gradually discovered. By gradually mastering the forging technique through enchantment, only then can enchanters successfully forge magic items. Under normal circumstances, an enchanter below level seven would only know some enchantment and repair techniques at most. To completely smith a magic item, one would have to pass the second advancement ritual and reach level seven. That’s why magic items are so expensive and rare on the market. Most of the magic items used by mid-and low-level Transcendents are repaired by enchanters, but there are exceptions. For example, the ring-shaped magic item that Deacon Xu used to cast the domain of slumber just now is actually a rare earth-grade magic item. Its power is by no means limited to the level you are seeing now.”

“Deacon Xu is truly rich. No wonder he’s known as the strongest level 4,” Thinking about the ten rings on Xu Liushuang’s fingers, He Shuang couldn’t help but feel envious.

Ren Zehong didn’t think much of it, “It’s just ten rings. When I break through to level 6, I can make my own magic items too. When the time comes, let alone ten, I can even make a hundred with enough materials. In terms of magic items, it’s still up to us enchanters.”

“In the future, when I buy magic items from you, you have to give me a discount,” He Shuang smiled charmingly.

“It’s discussable, very much so,” Ren Zehong’s heart fluttered at her laughter.

He Shuang glanced at Su Mo and said to Ren Zehong, “Since everyone is a newly awakened level 1 Transcendent, we should get closer to each other. I’m afraid you don’t know, but Su Mo here has awakened the sword saint profession. He’s extremely strong and has a limitless future. Even our captain couldn’t wait to recruit him. It’s a pity that he’s not very interested. Since that’s the case, it’s fine for us to be friends.”

Ren Zehong glanced at him and said, “In my opinion, it’s better to awaken a support-type profession. This way, you can stay at the back and not risk your life at the front line. You can live longer.”

Xue Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement.

Su Mo said in a speechless manner, “Deacon Xu has already said that the spatial activities are becoming increasingly intense. Who knows when a large number of cracks will suddenly appear? At that time, let alone ordinary people, even low-level Transcendents like us might not be able to protect ourselves. That’s why I feel that it’s better to master more combat skills or get better combat equipment. Even if we don’t have to go to the front line, we have to ensure our own safety in the chaos.”

“As long as we advance fast enough, it’ll be fine, right?” Ren Zehong smiled and said, “I’ve already learned a second ability. Perhaps it won’t be long before I can comprehend a few more abilities and successfully step into level 2. Just by relying on the comprehensive enhancement of physical fitness from the profession level-advancement, some low-level monsters can dream on about laying a hand on me. As a Sword Saint, you’re always fighting on the front line, so I suggest you try to comprehend more abilities. Otherwise, it’ll be too late for you to regret if you encounter a difficult enemy.”

“You’re right, that’s indeed the case,” Su Mo said as he nodded in agreement, “It’s a pity that I’m not as talented, and I haven’t comprehended any powerful new abilities yet.

“That won’t do!” Ren Zehong looked at Su Mo and said as if he was an elder, “It should’ve been a few days since you awakened. You have to work hard. You should know that there’s another sword Saint in Tianmu City, right? Your senior is so very talented. He gained seven abilities at level 1 and reached level 2 in less than a month. When he was at level 3, he could even cross the huge gap and kill a level 4 being. He’s now a big shot that we can only look up to. You have to make him your goal.”

This was not the first time Su Mo had heard that Tianmu City had two sword saints.

He was just about to ask the name of this senior when Xue Qiaoqiao suddenly shouted, “Perk up! Something has happened underground!”
