Chapter 201 A Surge in Mental Power, Su-Style Benefits

For Fangzhou, the more crucial factor is that if he can successfully establish a connection with Instructor Huang Qiuyue and earn a part-time job as a blacksmith under her guidance.

This secondary profession, learning the skills of [Refining] and [Inlaying], is truly a case of teaching someone how to fish rather than giving them a fish.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze toward Instructor Huang became more ardent.

According to his speculation, the reason why he needed to consume so much soul power to refine and inlay equipment before was because he had not yet officially taken on the side job of blacksmithing and learned a series of blacksmithing skills.

This means that he had been simulating the effects of the skills entirely with his soul power, which naturally consumed a huge amount of energy.

Fangzhou estimates that if he could officially take on these secondary professions and learn the corresponding skills, then he could turn these secondary profession skills into skills similar to those of the necromancer main profession, which could be used at any time without consuming so much soul power.

At this moment, Instructor Huang Qiuyue was ready for the intensive training, and Fangzhou also focused his attention on her.

The research group's forging room, though called a forging room, is more like a workshop decorated with various forging tools.

Huang Qiuyue stood in front of the worktable, ready to demonstrate her unique skills in front of everyone.

As she softly recited a spell, she slowly raised her hands.

In an instant, a bright light burst forth from her hand, quickly condensing into a huge, semi-transparent [Mage's Hand].

Next, Huang Qiuyue's gaze settled on the [New Star Mage Hat].

The hat has an unfinished setting on the top, waiting to be adorned with gemstones.

Using the unimaginable power of the [Mage's Hand], Huang Qiuyue gently picked up the heavy forging hammer and inlay tools beside her and began the formal inlaying process.

Under Ark's watchful gaze, she took out two [Level 2 Sapphires].

These two gems are as blue as the deep sea and can significantly increase the upper limit of mental power for professionals below the Iron level.

Under Huang Qiuyue's control, the [Mage's Hand] moved with exceptional precision.

First, a special small hammer is used to gently tap the edges of the gemstones to adjust them to the most perfect shape, and then they are carefully placed into the inlay slots reserved in the Nova Mage Hat.

With a soft click, the gemstones and the hat blended perfectly, as if they were meant to be that way.

The blue light complements the silver trim on the hat, creating a captivating glow.

But this is only the beginning.

She took out three more precious [Level 2 Refinement Stones] from the box.

Huang Qiuyue surrounded the refinement stone around the mage's hat, mobilized the magic within the [Mage's Hand], and began the refining process.

The light flowing across the refined stone is constantly changing.

It gradually changed from light blue to deep purple, and finally transformed into a dazzling light that instantly enveloped the entire mage's hat.

After the light faded, the texture of the [New Star Mage Hat] became even more delicate, and the silver trim on the brim seemed to shimmer with light.

The two sapphires shone with unprecedented brilliance, elevating the magical aura of the entire hat to a new level.

Huang Qiuyue carefully examined her work, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

This Nova Mage Hat, enhanced by both [Inlay] and [Refinement], is not only exceptionally beautiful in appearance, but its magical power has also reached a whole new level, enough to give any Iron-rank mage who wears it a significant advantage in battle.

She handed the mage's hat, which had been enhanced to its maximum, to Fangzhou, and said in a relaxed tone, "Give it a try, Fangzhou."

If you're satisfied, I'll enhance those two Nova Rings for you in the same way.

A bright smile appeared on Fang Zhou's handsome face. He took the mage's hat from Instructor Huang Qiuyue and gently put it on his head.

The silky material inside the hat clings to the skin, providing a cool and comfortable feel.

At the same time, the two sapphires shimmered like the deep night sky at the edge of his vision.

With his eyes closed, Ark began to delve deeper into this sudden change.

To test this power, Ark chose the most basic [Bone Spear] as its starting point.

As the last spell was cast, Ark waved his right hand forward.

A [Bone Spear] far larger than usual shot out and hovered in mid-air above the workshop, leaving a sinister and terrifying trail. Shen Ziwei, who was quietly watching from the side, couldn't help but let out a small gasp of surprise.

Her eyes held both shock and envy, but Fangzhou himself was immersed in an indescribable joy.

Under Instructor Huang Qiuyue's masterful refining and forging skills, this Nova Mage Hat is not only an upgrade in terms of equipment,

It was also a transformation of his mental strength limit.

After playing for a while, Ark looked at the attribute panel and saw that the data of the Nova Mage Hat had changed significantly.

【New Star Mage Hat】(White Common, Refinement +2, Tier 2 Sapphires *2): A mage hat mass-produced thanks to the widespread availability of the Magic Energy Factory. It boasts not only exquisite appearance but also guaranteed quality. After refinement and gemming, it can slightly increase the wearer's maximum Spirit Power.

Compared to its original state, after extreme enhancement, this mage hat has achieved a level of enhancement to the upper limit of mental power that was previously unattainable.

Fang Zhou secretly admired her and turned to Instructor Huang Qiuyue, saying, "Instructor Huang, you are absolutely perfect."

If I have the opportunity, I would like to learn the forging techniques of the blacksmith's secondary profession from you.

Huang Qiuyue was slightly taken aback, and said somewhat tactfully, "Fang Zhou, you haven't even reached the Black Iron rank yet. It's a bit too early for you to want to take on a side job."

In addition, the blacksmithing secondary profession depends heavily on your talent for controlling strength.

You are, after all, a necromancer; you must have achieved a great deal in terms of mental attributes.

However, they might not be so proficient in strength attributes.

Although Instructor Huang Qiuyue's words were very tactful, Fang Zhou naturally understood what she meant.

Those who are known for their weak physique, especially necromancers who suffer from the corrosive effects of death energy, would certainly have very few who possess the strength to take on the secondary profession of blacksmithing.

However, only family members know their own affairs.

Fangzhou knew perfectly well that since the attribute panel could help him consume soul power to simulate the effects of inlaying and refining, it would certainly be able to help him learn the relevant skills of the blacksmith sub-profession.

After thinking about it, Fang Zhou decided not to continue the conversation with Instructor Huang Qiuyue.

Seeing is believing, and a thousand words are not as good as a single act of sincerity.

Once she's spent more time with Instructor Huang and witnessed her physique and strength firsthand, she'll naturally stop doubting him.

Fang Zhou took off the two Nova Rings he was wearing and handed them to Instructor Huang Qiuyue, saying, "Instructor Huang, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Blacksmithing as a side job isn't something I need to rush into.

However, I'll have to ask you to help me enhance these two Nova Rings.

Huang Qiuyue took the two rings and smiled easily, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take care of them."

She then repeated the process, wielding the powerful magic hand to successfully enhance the two Nova Rings to their limits.

As soon as Ark put on the two brand-new rings, a notification appeared on his attribute panel.

【Nova Ring】(White Common, Refinement +2, 2 Tier 2 Obsidian): A ring mass-produced thanks to the widespread availability of Magic Factory, perfectly combining power and beauty. After refinement and socketing, it can slightly reduce the wearer's skill cooldown time.

Perfect enhancement!

Fang Zhou looked at Instructor Huang Qiuyue with delight and said, "Thank you, Instructor Huang!"

With these three newly upgraded pieces of equipment, the time it takes me to break through from Apprentice to Grandmaster will be greatly shortened.

Huang Qiuyue smiled somewhat reservedly.

Before she could speak, Instructor Shen Hongyu said, "Of course!"

Fangzhou, Instructor Qiuyue is a high-ranking blacksmith.

Upgrading a few pieces of white, common-quality equipment would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Fang Zhou nodded slightly. He naturally understood the meaning behind Instructor Shen Hongyu's words.

Instructor Su Xinyan had previously mentioned to him that after decades of development in the Mythical Era, the secondary professions that awakened humans could take on had some rather rough hierarchical classifications.

For example, blacksmiths can be divided into levels such as apprentice, beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, and master.

The equipment that blacksmiths of different levels can forge or enhance corresponds to gray (inferior), white (common), green (excellent), and so on, respectively.

Blue (Excellent), Purple (Rare), Orange (Epic) and other qualities.

As an officially certified high-level blacksmith by the Human Alliance, Instructor Huang Qiuyue is capable of forging or enhancing equipment of blue-quality or excellent.

The three Nova equipment pieces in the Ark are only of white, common quality.

Handing it over to Instructor Huang Qiuyue for reinforcement was naturally a piece of cake.

Back in the meeting room, Fangzhou chatted with the instructors for a few more minutes.

Not long after, Su Xinyan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Instructor Shen Hongyu tactfully took her leave. Fang Zhou escorted Shen Ziwei and the others out of the laboratory. When she returned, she was met with Instructor Su Xinyan's ambiguous smile.

She wore a black fitted long dress, her two slender legs in stockings crossed and overlapped.

Her left foot, as white as jade, hooked onto a silver high heel, swaying back and forth, revealing glimpses of her small, adorable toes.

Fang Zhou's gaze unconsciously narrowed, then he coughed lightly, openly admiring Instructor Su Xinyan's beautiful legs.

The two necromancers, one large and one small, remained silent, facing off in a silent standoff.

However, it wasn't long before Su Xinyan was the first to give in.

Under Fang Zhou's righteous and ardent gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she shrank her left foot.

Then she slightly brought her legs together and gathered her long skirt, concealing the previously unrestrained beauty.

After clearing her throat, Su Xinyan said casually, "Fang Zhou, I haven't congratulated you yet."

After a trip to the underground caves for hunting, you gained another little assistant who is completely devoted to you.

I heard from Bai Xiaochun that you guys even set up some kind of necromancer support group?

Why didn't you include me, your mentor? Aren't I a necromancer?
