Chapter 129: Resurrection and Beyond
Chapter 129: Resurrection and Beyond
Lin Sai's eyebrows rose in surprise, and she immediately left the lighthouse.
With her questions in mind, she returned to the ground and headed towards the edge of the world.
A distance of over two hundred meters wasn't considered far.
As she reached the edge of the earth, the scene that unfolded before Lin Sai defied all rules and common sense.
There was no solid ground, no undulating mountains, and not even flowing rivers. Only the stars in the sky hung high above an endless dark abyss.
A profound and silent vista stretched forward, as if time itself had lost its meaning here.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a bone-chilling winter wind swept past Lin Sai.
From the distant sky, a low whisper seemed to speak in a special language, telling Lin Sai that this was an unfinished masterpiece, awaiting the master's touch and the emergence of life.
"..."
Lin Sai remained silent.
Standing at the world's edge, he gazed into the distance, but still found no clues. Even with the aid of a telescope to enhance his vision, he discovered nothing.
Lin Sai's eyes held a hint of reluctance.
"Why would the distance on the ground change?" he wondered.
He shook his head slightly, crouched down, and used his merchant skill to examine the soil and rocks around him.
However, his merchant skill only confirmed that the edge of the world was ordinary, with no signs of anything special.
Nothing unexpected happened!
"..."
"Forget it, now isn't the time to dwell on these questions," he decided.
Half an hour later, Lin Sai resolutely abandoned the idea of delving deeper into this mystery.
There was a time and place for everything.
Dealing with the Wyvern of the Black Mountain World was his immediate priority.
Lin Sai's gaze returned to the synthesis formula of the Ancestor Spirit Core."
"Ancestor Spirit Core, titanium alloy, and high-grade gemstone powder," he muttered.
The synthesis of the Radiant Bullet.
Lin Sai was actually missing only two synthesis materials.
The first was the meteorite required to forge the titanium alloy, and the second was the high-grade gemstone powder, which he had information about!
When inquiring about precious materials in town, Lin Sai had asked almost every Awakened person. While the border town didn't have complete high-grade gemstones, they did have the powder!
"Lady Agnes," Lin Sai whispered a name.
The Awakened person who possessed the high-grade gemstone powder was the artist from the Seven Seas Alliance whom he had wanted to learn music from.
But he never expected that the learning plan he had put on hold would resurface for this reason.
At that moment, Lin Sai looked up at the sky.
After all this commotion, it was too late to disturb a lady at such a late hour.
It would be better to return and rest for a while.
He could visit her home tomorrow, prepared and well-rested.
With a plan in mind, Lin Sai headed south towards the town, intending to sleep in his wooden house.
He casually opened his attribute panel, planning to allocate the experience points rewarded for [Cultivating New Cold-Resistant Crops].
"Hmm?"
Lin Sai paused abruptly.
In his attribute panel's task list, an additional new task had mysteriously appeared!
[Ancestor Spirit Revival]
[Use the advanced failed Ancestor Spirit Core to revive this ancient and powerful Ancestor Spirit!]
[Task Reward: Radiant Crown Sword, +1 Module Slot, Abundant Attribute/Skill Experience.]
...
+1 Module Slot!
This reward immediately caught Lin Sai's attention. After all, the number of activated modules directly impacted his strength.
But following his desire was a sense of surprise.
This thing is really outrageous."
Lin Sai shook her head slightly.
After all, the tasks that appeared on the task bar were mostly formed from his desires after he participated in them.
As for the revival of the Ancestor Spirits, Lin Sai knew absolutely nothing about it.
The only answer was that the core still retained the will of the Ancestor Spirits, which influenced the changes on the task bar.
These high-level beings were truly over the top.
Unfortunately, the expression on Lin Sai's face was only one of slight apology:
"I still need you to deal with the draconoids."
"As for revival, I can only apologize in advance."
Without hesitation, Lin Sai put this task aside and began allocating her experience points.
The rewards for this quest were the most in history.
A rough calculation showed that if all the points were used to enhance her basic attributes, with a reasonable distribution, she could increase them by about six points in total. At a normal training pace, this would take more than three years to achieve.
However, Lin Sai didn't add the experience to her attributes.
Because if she put all the experience points into Basic Swordsmanship, she could upgrade this skill from Proficiency to Mastery!
From Rapid Shot to Phase Five Warrior.
Lin Sai had already deeply experienced the power of this advancement.
So, without hesitation, she directly allocated all the reward experience to Basic Swordsmanship.
Basic Swordsmanship
(Proficiency) → (Mastery)
(Advantage Strike) → (Deathblow)
"Deathblow..."
Lin Sai took out her Frost Fang Dagger.
Even without engaging in combat, just holding the weapon in her hand, she could sense the power of this ability.
The core of this ability lay in the two words 'deathblow.'
Normally, this skill wouldn't have much effect, but in life-or-death battles, Lin Sai's offensive power would be greatly enhanced.
"Is this encouraging me to risk my life?"
Lin Sai pouted in dissatisfaction.
She could feel the power of this skill, but just like the RPG module encouraging her to take risks, these abilities that required life-threatening situations to be effective always made her feel uneasy.
If given a choice,
Lin Sai would still prefer to defeat her enemies while ensuring her own safety.
After some casual experimentation, Lin Sai sheathed her weapon and returned home.
Regarding the high-grade gemstone powder, she planned to visit the artist Agnes the next day.
As for the gift to bring when visiting...
At this thought, Lin Sai's gaze fell on the newly unlocked Food Preparation skill.
"This is just perfect for you!"
Perfect food could even satisfy Lin Sai's Life Essence.
Undoubtedly, it was the best gift to bring when visiting.
Upon returning home, Lin Sai got straight to work, preparing ingredients under the cover of night.
Now, with the help of her skill,
Her cooking could ignore the process; she only needed to wait for the pointer to move and aim for the right moment to get the best results.
In just a quarter of an hour,
A plethora of food was laid out before Lin Sai.
"Hmm... I'll try it first, just in case... Oh no... If it doesn't taste good, then... that would be terrible..."
Another hour passed.
Lin Sai prepared another perfect meal, packed them into her bag, and only then did she lie down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep with the day's fatigue.
What Lin Sai didn't know was that after the perfect food continuously satisfied her Life Essence, and after falling asleep in a state of fatigue,
The Life Essence attribute on Lin Sai's stat panel also began to slowly change.
