From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 86 - 82: The Missing Evil God Corpse Part 2

"I've already said you can rest easy. I even had them sign a paper contract to guarantee there'll be no problems. Do you want to take a look at the contract? I had a lawyer draft it specifically," Lin Zeyu had already planned to treat the weapon hardening service support as a business venture.

"No need, that's a contract you signed with them, I'm not involved," Lu Heng waved his hand, too lazy to look.

The weapon hardening services offered by Quenching Castle are now unique to Blue Star, no need for a contract to secure rights and interests.

Besides, the contract wasn't signed by Lu Heng, so no matter what problems arose, it had nothing to do with him.

Inside the briefcase Lin Zeyu opened, there were two weapons, a collector's edition Desert Eagle and a Tang Blade.

"Where's your gun? Aren't you getting it hardened?" Lu Heng looked at him curiously.

Lin Zeyu's face showed a strange expression as he sighed, "I don't know what to say. At first, I thought firearms were powerful, but after experiencing the Abyss Battlefield, I feel like they're so weak."

"So you're thinking of changing your approach now?" Lu Heng guessed his thoughts.

"I'm not sure if I should change directions, and all my skills are maxed out. Is it still possible to change now?" Lin Zeyu was very troubled.

"Since you've chosen the firearms reinforcement path, why not continue on it?" Lu Heng thought he wasn't a bad guy and didn't mind giving him some advice.

"The main reason is seeing your strength, I realize bullets are no use against you," Lin Zeyu voiced his inner thoughts openly.

Ever since he was saved by Lu Heng, he felt there was no need to hide anything. If his life was saved by someone else, what was the point of keeping defenses?

"Why compare yourself with me?"

"I can't compare with Lei Jinhao either."

"He's a traitor. If you don't mind becoming a demon, you could become stronger too."

"Is there a way to accept the power of the Evil Gods without falling into depravity?"

"Lei Jinhao thought the same thing."

"Alright..." Lin Zeyu actually had his answer already, wanting to gain strength from the Evil God without becoming a minion—such good fortune didn't exist.

He paused and then asked, "So, what should I do now?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Show me your attribute data, I can help you consider your options."

Lin Zeyu immediately took out his phone and found a data chart: "This is from two days ago. I leveled up yesterday, a few attributes increased, but nothing else changed."

Lu Heng took it and checked.

His current level was 17, which was quite normal considering he had survived the Evil God's Burial Ground and completed three Challenge Tasks.

In choosing a development path, level and attributes weren't the most important; the most crucial were talent and skills.

Lin Zeyu's initial talent was [Precision Shooting], with skills including [Black Witchcraft Immobilization Trap], [Armor Piercing Bullet], [Source Energy Flash], and [Energy Hook].

Considering his initial talent, he was indeed suitable for the firearms path.

[Precision Shooting] was also a good talent, neglecting factors like wind resistance, gravity, concealment, making it accurate at every shot.

Of course, exceeding the shooting range or when there is cover, [Precision Shooting] can't resolve it on its own.

After reviewing the talents and skills, Lu Heng handed back the phone, saying, "Your talent fits the firearms reinforcement path, no issues there."

"But I'm so weak," Lin Zeyu lamented from his soul.

"Maybe you're not weak, it's just that the people you've encountered are too strong," Lu Heng corrected him.

"Okay, seems I can't argue with that," Lin Zeyu actually knew he was weak compared to Lu Heng and Lei Jinhao, but he was okay compared to other Superpower Users.

Still, he wanted to hear suggestions: "If I change paths now, is it too late?"

"It's too late," Lu Heng replied bluntly.

Actually, changing paths wasn't completely impossible.

As long as he completed four World Tasks in the Abyss Battlefield, deleted all his skills, then formed a new Skill Set, and as for the initial talent, just pretend it didn't exist.

Forcing a change in path was also possible in this way, but it'd be meaningless.

Completing the world task of the Abyss Battlefield four times, let alone how difficult that would be, even if it were really accomplished, it would be better to use that effort to enhance existing skills rather than delete four of them.

"What should I do then?" Lin Zeyu pressed.

"Want to hear my opinion?" Lu Heng smiled, his interest piqued as he looked at him.

"Mhm!" Lin Zeyu nodded earnestly.

"Continue on the firearms enhancement path. Your current skill set is not bad; it has everything it should. But ditch the handgun, get yourself a Grade B sniper rifle. If you're going to strengthen firearms, you have to take it to the extreme."

Lu Heng gave his advice, paused, then added, "Also, don't just think about using guns. Fighting and movement techniques also need to be practiced. These are the basics, and sometimes they're even more important than skills."

Lin Zeyu pondered and asked, "If I continue on the firearms enhancement path, will there be prospects for me in the future?"

"There will definitely be prospects, but if you want to become a War God in one step, then you might as well go to sleep," Lu Heng said, spreading his hands.

"As long as there are prospects, I'll listen to you." Lin Zeyu clenched his fist, made up his mind, and decided to persist with enhancing firearms.

Actually, if he hadn't met Lu Heng and hadn't encountered Lei Jinhao infused with Demonic energy and gone Frenzy, his firearm enhancement wouldn't be weak.

However, in his last foray into the Abyss Battlefield, he met two monsters that almost shattered his fighting spirit.

"Alright, enough about personal matters, let's get down to business," Lu Heng began to transition to the main issue.

"As for Quenching, I have no objections to your method."

"Quenching is a minor matter and not worth discussing. What I want to talk about is the loss of the Evil God Corpse pieces. You might not know about this yet."

During the time in the Abyss Battlefield, Lin Zeyu was severely injured by Lei Jinhao and eventually carried out of the Temple by Wang Xiangfeng.

Hence, he was unaware of the details of the last battle.

"The Evil God Corpse piece is missing? What's the situation with that?" Lin Zeyu had passed through the Temple and had witnessed the Resurrection Ceremony, knowing how terrifying Evil God Barton was.

"After we disrupted the Resurrection Ceremony, the Bansel Clan began to collect and destroy Evil God Corpses, but a piece of a finger went missing. I suspect it was taken back to our world by a Superpower User," Lu Heng revealed the alarming situation.

Lin Zeyu took a sharp intake of breath and widened his eyes, "What would happen if the Evil God Corpse piece was brought over?"

After a moment of thought, Lu Heng said, "Based on my deductions, before long, the Evil God will appear in our world and then kill us. You should understand, we prevented his resurrection, this is a vendetta."

Lin Zeyu felt goosebumps all over his head: "What do we do now?"

Lu Heng spoke gravely, "Right now I need you to send people to investigate every Superpower User who has entered the Evil God's Burial Ground, get all their information, and then we will check them one by one. This needs to be completed within one month; if it drags on for three, it might be too late."

Lin Zeyu immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, I got it. I'll make sure it's done."

"Now that the important matter is settled, we can start the Quenching. Do you have any requirements for the Quenching of these two weapons?" Lu Heng inquired.

"As long as the Attack Power is increased. The higher, the better. There are seven sets of quenching materials in total. Four are for this Desert Eagle, and the other three are for the Tang Blade," Lin Zeyu said.

"Alright, I'll go Quench them. You can wait here..."

"I'll come with you. This won't be charged, right?" Lin Zeyu hurriedly got up to follow.

"Fine, but you have to help me purchase a batch of quenching materials," Lu Heng decided, who also needed quenching materials, so he prepared to buy them with Demon Crystal Cores.

"That's fine, but the quantity can't be too large."

The Lin Family had always been purchasing quenching materials and had some in stock, although not in large amounts.

After all, quenching materials are a scarce resource right now. Fortunately, there aren't many Power Users with the access to Quenching, so the demand for quenching materials isn't that high yet.

Lu Heng brought the two weapons into the Forging room for Quenching.

After completing seven Quenchings, he earned 80 points of Quenching Master Professional Experience, with one failure keeping the success rate above 85%.

Following the Quenching process, both weapons reached Quenching Level 3.

With this transaction completed, Lu Heng earned seven Crystal Cores, and then placed an order with Lin Zeyu for the purchase of more quenching materials, the more the better.

With over forty Crystal Cores in hand and according to the current market price, he could buy about twenty sets of quenching materials.

However, with quenching materials so scarce, it was unlikely to find that much all at once.
