From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 45 "Sky Eye" Source Material

"Silver Python Revolvers, those large caliber handguns, are basically the highest in attack power among Class C firearms."

"You can see it as the pistol class, rifle power."

"Of course, this power comes at the cost of magazine capacity."

"For an average superpower user, without a talent enhancement in firearms, spending divine energy on this could be somewhat embarrassing in the later stages."

"However, for wealthy families with money ability, it doesn't matter."

Lu Heng put the Silver Python Revolver back and asked, "Are you planning to quench this gun?"

"Yes, I've already prepared the quenching materials."

Lin Zeyu nodded slightly and then pushed forward two pieces of Quenching Essence.

Lu Heng wasn't in a hurry to take on the job, and in a calm tone, he went over the precautions first:

"Regarding weapon quenching, there are a few prerequisite conditions that need to be made clear.

"First, quenching is not one hundred percent successful, there is a certain chance of failure. If quenching fails, materials and fees are not refunded.

"Second, in the event of failure, there's a very small chance that the weapon could be damaged. If it is damaged, the Quenching Castle offers no compensation, but will attempt to help repair it. There is no guarantee that it will be successfully repaired.

"Agreeing to quench means accepting the above two terms. If you don't accept, you can leave now."

After hearing these terms, Lin Zeyu knew that they were disclaimers.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What is the approximate success rate of quenching?"

Lu Heng answered calmly, "Currently, my success rate with quenching is one hundred percent. Mentioning the precautions is just to avoid unexpected situations. If you cannot accept this, you can choose not to quench."

Right now, Quenching Castle is the only one capable of performing weapon quenching.

Whether the terms are overbearing or not, that's just the way it is.

For the Lin Family, two pieces of quenching material were not so precious that they needed to worry.

Lin Zeyu decided then and there, "Okay, I accept the terms. Please help me with the quenching."

Lu Heng continued, "The effect of quenching has a certain level of randomness, let me give you an approximate idea of the effects after quenching.

"This revolver currently has an attack power of 155 points, if quenching is successful once, attack power adds 10 points, if successful twice, another 10 points.

"If the quenching level reaches level 3, you can try for spirit injection to gain entry-level special effects. However, that requires higher grade materials, which I guess you don't have at the moment."

Hearing there was a higher level of weapon enhancement, Lin Zeyu looked at Lu Heng with a sense of admiration and nodded, "If the quenching is successful this time, I will collect more materials and come back."

Lu Heng then said, "Next is the price for quenching, the price for each quench is one Demon Crystal Core. Payment can be made with Demon Crystal Cores, quenching materials, energy crystals, and other items, I have a value exchange rate chart here."

Lin Zeyu paused for a second and asked, "Can't I pay with cash?"

"You can purchase Demon Crystal Cores with cash, then come for quenching."

In fact.

Demon Crystal Cores do have a price on Blue Star, it's just that the price fluctuates too much.

In the initial period after Abyss Descent, a regular crystal core was priced around 300,000 to 500,000.

As time goes on, this price will rise all the way to over 1 million.

Only crystal cores truly hold their value and within a certain range can be considered hard currency.

Lu Heng would have to find ways to purchase Demon Crystal Cores with the money he got, too troublesome, and it would be easier to have the other party pay directly with Demon Crystal Cores.

Lin Zeyu took out two Demon Crystal Cores and said, "I've brought two crystal cores with me, will that do?"

"That will do."

Lu Heng took the two Demon Crystal Cores, stood up, and said, "You wait here, the quenching process will take about half an hour."

"Can I watch the quenching process?" Lin Zeyu hurriedly asked.

"The price of apprenticeship is beyond your reach," Lu Heng had no intention of allowing him to observe the Quenching.

"What price do you require? Name it, and I'm sure I can afford it," Lin Zeyu continued to negotiate.

A smile curled beneath Lu Heng's mask as he stated an astonishing condition, "Professional Source Material."

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Zeyu was momentarily stunned.

Professional Source Material was extremely rare at present; almost all major powers were vying for it.

It was no longer something that could be bought with money.

Even after naming his price, Lu Heng couldn't be certain of Lin Zeyu's agreement, so he did not stop walking.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Lin Zeyu suddenly stood up and asked, "Is any type of Source Material acceptable? If there's no restriction on the kind, I can agree."

Although this was his plan from the start, Lu Heng was still somewhat surprised to hear that he truly agreed to the condition.

For Lin Zeyu, the opportunity to witness the Quenching process firsthand was not something that could be measured in monetary terms.

Even gaining access to Quenching Castle was of great value to the Lin Family.

Lu Heng stopped and glanced at him, responding, "Perception System, Summoning system, or Spiritual system will do."

Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up at the mention of these systems.

Had it been combat-oriented Professional Source Material, he truly would have had none.

Source Material for main combat classes like Fighters, Destroyers, and Knights wasn't something money could buy.

Relatively speaking, Perception System Source Material was easier to come by.

It wasn't that the Perception System's Professional Source Material wasn't precious, but rather that there were just fewer superpower users willing to follow the Perception path at this stage, and naturally, the demand was smaller.

As the young master of a great family like Lin Zeyu, he was definitely meant to become a Super Soldier and would never opt for a support route.

Hence, to major powers, the Source Material of the Perception System wasn't quite as scarce.

"I have 'Sky Eye' and 'Microscopic Sniffer' Source Material at hand, both of the Perception System. I can trade one of them in exchange for witnessing the Quenching process," Lin Zeyu decisively decided to trade in a portion of Source Material for the chance to observe.

Lu Heng had merely quoted a prohibitive price to test the waters and hadn't expected the man to be truly willing to trade Professional Source Material for a chance to see the Quenching process.

The 'Sky Eye' class wasn't just a simple Perception System; it was a dual system, combining Perception and Summoning.

Currently, Su Muyu was in dire need of Professional Source Material, and 'Sky Eye' was particularly suitable for her.

Lu Heng's Abyss Battlefield countdown had only three days left, and this recruitment was likely to be a battle for Source Material.

If Su Muyu could attain Professional Source Material now, there was a high probability that she would enter the same Abyss Battlefield.

Otherwise, if Su Muyu had to fight for Source Material on her own later, it would be very dangerous.

After all, as a support route user, she needed to cooperate with combat superpower users to realize her value.

If she were to be recruited solo into the Abyss Battlefield and failed to find trustworthy teammates, it was tantamount to placing her life in the hands of strangers.

Therefore, Lu Heng hoped to find suitable Professional Source Material for Su Muyu within three days.

Lu Heng emphasized the time constraint, "If it's 'Sky Eye' Source Material, then I will allow you to observe the Quenching. But this promise is only valid for three days."

Joy immediately appeared in Lin Zeyu's eyes as he hurriedly said, "I can go back and get it right now, wait for me for half an hour."

For major powers, tangible items, whether Crystal Cores or Source Material, could be bought with money.

But information beyond the current era was much more valuable than any simple item.

With an information gap, one can earn back a hundredfold or even seize the chance to lead the change of an era.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Zeyu heard that he could watch the Quenching process, he decided to return for the 'Sky Eye' Source Material without hesitation.

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "I can wait for you for half an hour."

"Then I'll go and come back as fast as I can," Lin Zeyu no longer hesitated, promptly stood up, and left Quenching Castle to retrieve the Professional Source Material.
