CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 425: SKILL UPGRADE, HUMAN-SHAPED BOMBER

Ke Yiming felt a chill in his heart, the hand on his shoulder felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

When the Bone Sovereign was killed in battle, he was locked up in the dungeon and had no idea how the Bone Sovereign died.

He originally thought the Bone Sovereign was killed by Terres and Queen Orelana of the Elf Clan, never considering that an Evil Demigod would die at the hands of a human.

Ke Yiming was worried that if the meeting lasted too long and was discovered by 013, he would be doomed, so he quickly said:

"Meeting for too long will be dangerous, I understand the task, I will find a way to investigate the whereabouts of the [Life Tree Vine], you should go first."

Lu Heng added: "Also, try to check out the identity of 013, he doesn’t seem to be human."

Ke Yiming’s expression focused, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Actually, he also felt that 013’s Black Crow identity was somewhat strange, but since the other party’s number was ahead of his, he didn’t dare to pry. Now, hearing this information from Lu Heng, he was quite shocked.

After saying the last sentence, Lu Heng used [Void Flash] to leave the hotel suite.

...

In the following days.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu stayed in the Quenching Castle to process the business orders accumulated over the past few days.

After using two afternoons to complete all the quenching orders, Lu Heng’s Master Level Quenching Master Professional Experience reached (2200/5000).

The Master Level Quenching Master provided 40% Flame Resistance, which was a major reason he could withstand the high temperatures of the Molten Lava Demon and lava in the Molten Cave previously.

Lin Zeyu finally upgraded his [Forging Assistant] Vice Profession to [Forging Master] and began following Master Gulu to improve his forging proficiency.

Only after Lu Heng had finished processing the quenching orders did he gather the three teammates to help them upgrade their skills.

This time back from the Elf World, everyone received 4200 points of Divine Energy as a reward. Coupled with the previous remaining balance, everyone had a considerable amount of Divine Energy at their disposal.

When Lu Heng mentioned helping to upgrade their skills, Su Muyu pouted and muttered, "I’ve spent all my Divine Energy."

The three of them widened their eyes at her, all expressing great surprise.

Lin Zeyu exclaimed, "Miss Su, this isn’t like you at all. You used to stretch even a single point of Divine Energy into two."

Su Muyu glanced at Lu Heng slyly and explained, "I upgraded my Space Anchor Point from the Elf World to level two. Initially, I was reluctant, but upon more thought, this greatly benefits the team, so I decided to spend it anyway."

She glanced at Lu Heng again, asked, "You won’t blame me, right?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "Why would I? Actually, I also wanted to upgrade the Space Anchor Point at first, but since I got the Skill Slot reward, I chose the Skill Slot instead after weighing the options."

Su Muyu was immediately delighted: "That’s great, the chance of getting a Skill Slot reward is too rare, if it appears, you definitely have to pick it."

Lin Zeyu and Xie Shi’en, who didn’t even know the Space Anchor Point could be upgraded, asked, "Wait a minute, the Space Anchor Point can be upgraded?"

"Yes, after upgrading, it can transport objects over," Su Muyu explained.

Upon hearing the function, Xie Shi’en questioned, "Can it transport anything? Like...a nuclear bomb?"

Su Muyu brought up her status panel, confirmed the role of the level two Space Anchor Point, and answered, "Theoretically yes, but there is a weight limit. It can only transport 100kg of material, and if someone teleports back, the material taken will also come back together."

Xie Shi’en calculated a bit and said, "Then the function of the level two Space Anchor Point isn’t much, a 100 kiloton nuclear warhead exceeds 100kg, which won’t change the world landscape."

A 100-kiloton nuclear bomb is indeed powerful, but with only one, its function is indeed limited.

Moreover, according to the weight carrying ability of a level two Space Anchor Point, it can’t carry a 100-kiloton nuclear bomb, at most a 50-kiloton can be taken.

Su Muyu, worried about spending recklessly, quickly looked at Lu Heng and asked, "Is the level two Space Anchor Point really useless?"

Lu Heng smiled and replied, "It’s very useful. It mentioned carrying 100kg of material, and it didn’t specify that living beings can’t be transported, so a person could be taken along."

Lin Zeyu gasped and exclaimed, "Then it’s awesome. The person taken, they’d still be alive, right?"

Lu Heng nodded and smiled, "Of course alive."

Lin Zeyu curiously asked, "How much Divine Energy is needed to upgrade the level two Space Anchor Point?"

Su Muyu raised her thumb and little finger, waving them in front of everyone.

"Six hundred?"

"Six...six thousand."

Lin Zeyu’s eyes almost popped out: "Six...six thousand? Can’t afford it, can’t afford it, only Miss Su can be so extravagant."

The Divine Energy needed to upgrade the level two Space Anchor Point is indeed a bit exaggerated, but the value is worth the price.

After all, it can teleport people to the Elf World, which means everyone on Blue Star weighing no more than 100kg has a chance to visit the Elf World.

Of course, only one can be taken at a time, and there is a cooldown period.

Even so, the value of the level two Space Anchor Point remains immeasurable.

Lu Heng reached out, patted Su Muyu on the back of her hand, and said, "Next time you accumulate enough Divine Energy, I’ll upgrade your skills again."

"Okay," Su Muyu nodded in agreement.

Lu Heng looked at Lin Zeyu and the others, asked, "What skills do you want to upgrade? Hurry up and consider it."

Lin Zeyu had already made up his mind and said directly, "I want to upgrade [Source Energy Cloud Bomb] and [Chameleon Camouflage Suit]."

Both of these skills are B-level, and their skill proficiency is maxed out.

Upgrading a B-level skill costs 1500 Divine Energy points, upgrading both skills requires 3000, which the Divine Energy obtained from this trip just covers.

The remaining Divine Energy is kept as a margin for error.

Lu Heng thought his choices would indeed have a nice upgrade effect, so he unlocked the Skill Lock for him.

Lin Zeyu spent half an hour upgrading both skills to A-level.

After the upgrade, he excitedly jumped around in the living room.

"I’m going to take off! From now on, call me the human-shaped bomber!"

Lu Heng could roughly guess the direction of his skill upgrade, but was still left speechless by his reaction.

Su Muyu frowned and teased, "Is it necessary? It’s not like anyone else doesn’t have A-level skills."

Lin Zeyu finally sat back in his seat and announced the names of his upgraded skills: "The first skill upgraded to [Supersonic Source Energy High Explosive Bomb]."

Lu Heng understood at once upon hearing the name.

Next, Lin Zeyu read out the skill description of [Supersonic Source Energy High Explosive Bomb] word by word.

[Supersonic Source Energy High Explosive Bomb]

[Skill Level: A-level]

[Skill Consumption: 300 Source Energy Points]

[Range: 100 kilometers]

[Bullet Speed: 1000 meters/second (speed decays with distance, terminal decay amplitude 50%)]

[Explosion Range: Diameter 500 meters]

[Skill Effect: Condenses powerful Source Energy, compresses and shapes it into a missile form for high-speed flight, launched at supersonic initial velocity to attack distant targets.]

After listening to Lin Zeyu read the skill description, Xie Shi’en raised a question: "The skill is called [Supersonic Source Energy High Explosive Bomb], not [Supersonic Source Energy Missile], so don’t get too excited yet, figure out if the skill has a built-in guiding system first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zeyu was stunned, he quickly turned to Lu Heng and asked, "It can’t be this tricky, right?"

Lu Heng shrugged and smiled: "Old Xie hit the nail on the head with a single comment. This skill is strong, but its hidden drawback is that it doesn’t inherently have a guiding effect. In other words, once launched, it can theoretically only fly along a predetermined trajectory."

Lin Zeyu listened and, instead of feeling dejected, his eyes brightened as he grasped the key point and asked, "You said theoretically, so there must be a way that doesn’t fit the theory, right?"

Having known Lu Heng for so long, Lin Zeyu knew that as long as Lu Heng didn’t rule something out, there must be a way.

Lu Heng shrugged and said, "Well, there are indeed unconventional ways to match it, such as using Void Eye to assist targeting. As long as you train well in proficiency, the precision is still guaranteed, and your talent is Precise Shooting, which is not limited to firearms."
