After returning to Dunhuang, Lufeng quickly found a Rebellious Thief and continued to farm for the anti-great industry...
After exploding two Rebel Leaders, Lufeng still didn't get anything good. This made him quite frustrated, as Gao Chao and others had obtained some decent items, while he only got some junk. This time was slightly better; he received a Golden Cicada silk.
To increase his attributes, the quality of equipment was a key issue, and gems and Skill Engraving were essential. In addition to embedding high-level gems, there were also Skill Engraving and True Essence Awakening after level 80. The soul awakening of equipment happened in an instant! As long as one had a Skill Engraving pattern and some common materials, they could awaken the spirit of equipment and accessories like Necklaces, amulets, and rings through the Engraving Master, adding the finishing touch and granting them new attributes, turning originally ordinary accessories into once unattainable top-tier items!
Gao Chao was very excited to obtain the Skill Engraving pattern. Although it wasn't as valuable as Qiu Han's high-level gem synthesis talisman, compared to Lufeng and others, Gao Chao proudly began to sing a song by Phoenix Legend:
"I am the most beautiful cloud in your heart, you kept me with care, hey~ keep me here, the coolest profession is still Ming Jiao, explosive output that takes down bosses in seconds, hehe~ I am your..."
Hearing the shameless Gao Chao singing such an unashamed song, Wang Xiaojing couldn't take it anymore; her eyelids twitched involuntarily as she laughed and said, "Enough! You comparing yourself to the stars in the sky is just ridiculous; don't pollute the beautiful clouds."
Gao Chao remained unfazed and smiled slightly, saying, "Stars are greater; they illuminate our hearts. In my world, you will never be in darkness, haha~"
Wang Xiaojing rolled her eyes and said lightly, "It's not as great as you think; having you or not makes no difference. Our world would be more peaceful without you—what are you looking at? Quickly use your skills; stop pausing while talking!"
"Haha~" Hearing Wang Xiaojing's mockery, Qin Shou couldn't help but laugh. Gao Chao could only continue attacking; arguing with Wang Xiaojing would only be self-defeating. Which employee could compete with their boss? That would be like shooting oneself in the foot. Gao Chao naturally understood this simple truth and cursed inwardly; when under someone's roof, one must bow their head.
Lufeng smiled slightly and ignored them, thinking about how to get his Skill Engraving to level 6. He recalled various Dungeons and suddenly thought of farming monks—the Scripture Repository Dungeon. This Dungeon had the highest drop rates for items related to Skill Engraving such as Golden Silkworm Thread, Danqing, and Skill Engraving patterns.
If one wanted to enhance their attributes, Skill Engraving was an indispensable choice. To engrave Skill Engraving onto equipment required Danqing, Yellow Paper, and the attribute carving pattern obtained by Gao Chao. First, these needed to be made into Skill Engraving patterns. Then combined with Skill Engraving etching solvent and spending a certain amount of gold coins at Luoyang's Engraving Master—Zhang Jianglong—to etch the attribute Skill Engraving onto designated equipment would yield a level 1 Skill Engraving attribute.
Golden Silkworm Thread was the only material for enhancing Skill Engraving; the higher the level, the more attributes it added corresponding to Skill Engraving, up to a maximum of level 10. Skill Engraving could be reused but patterns could only be used once. Skill Engraving could be removed using gold powder; after removal, its level wouldn't decrease. Therefore, when enhancing Skill Engraving, it was best to enhance it to whole numbers—for example, enhancing from level 2 to level 3 required 9 Golden Silkworm Threads. If there were still five left after enhancing to level 3, it would be best not to continue enhancing to avoid wasting those five Golden Silkworm Threads when needing to remove the Skill Engraving later.
However, while Skill Engraving is good, it is quite expensive. Most casual players can only upgrade to level 4, and having all level 3 Skill Engravings is already impressive. Currently, there is no Yuanbao Shop, and the exchange between gold coins and Reality Currency has not officially opened. Even wealthy players will take a long time to obtain level 6 Skill Engravings.
Golden Silkworm Thread can be obtained through some special events, such as dungeon activities and fixed dungeons. However, those are minor sources; if one wants to upgrade, they still need to purchase them. This is why Wang Xiaojing agreed to let Murong Xiaoxiao open a shop.
In Asking Heaven, Skill Engravings are divided into Attack Skill Engravings, Resistance Reduction Skill Engravings, Resistance Skill Engravings, Mobility Skill Engravings, Stamina Skill Engravings, Strength Skill Engravings, and Spirit Energy Skill Engravings. The consumption of Golden Silkworm Thread during upgrades is the same for all except for Resistance Reduction Skill Engravings: level 2 requires 2 pieces, level 3 requires 9 pieces, level 4 requires 50 pieces, level 5 requires 87 pieces, level 6 requires 165 pieces, level 7 requires 284 pieces, level 8 requires 811 pieces, level 9 requires 2088 pieces, and level 10 requires 3570 pieces. For Resistance Reduction Skill Engravings: level 2 requires 6 pieces, level 3 requires 27 pieces, level 4 requires 150 pieces, level 5 requires 261 pieces, level 6 requires 495 pieces, level 7 requires 852 pieces, level 8 requires 2433 pieces, level 9 requires 6264 pieces, and level 10 requires 10710 pieces.
Resistance Reduction Skill Engravings have the same values as Resistance Skill Engravings. Level 1 reduces resistance by 3 with an attribute of 10; level 2 reduces it by 8 with an attribute of 20; level 3 reduces it by 17 with an attribute of 30; level 4 reduces it by 35 with an attribute of 60; level 5 reduces it by 42 with an attribute of 100; level 6 reduces it by 50 with an attribute of 120; level 7 reduces it by 60 with an attribute of 140; level 8 reduces it by 70 with an attribute of 170; level 9 reduces it by 80 with an attribute of 200; and level 10 reduces it by 95 with an attribute of 240.
In Lufeng's memory, he had never seen a level 10 Skill Engraving in Heavenly Dragon either. Even the wealthiest players find a level 10 Skill Engraving unaffordable. Generally speaking, around level 7 is sufficient since the cost of upgrading Skill Engravings later on amounts to several stones. Therefore, wealthy players focus on upgrading their attributes after reaching level seven.
Time flies quickly; Lufeng's original plan to take a break every five minutes was no longer feasible. Plans cannot keep up with changes; without enough Blue Potions for support, their attack power weakened increasingly while the time taken for each dungeon run grew longer.
Currently, it's not just that the Rebellious Thief isn't being farmed enough; rather, the speed of farming has become too slow. If Lufeng and his group weren't conserving their Blue Potions, each run would likely take ten minutes.
Normal attacks are bound to be tedious. This time Lufeng and his group spent seven minutes finishing another run and returned to Dunhuang to find the Rebellious Thief again for their fourth entry into the Bandit Camp.
For the third time, the Rebel Leader still did not drop a Shopkeeper for Lufeng and his group. However, they received many first-level gems—averaging two per person after three runs. If this pace continues, a small team could potentially gather several third-level gems after three hours of farming each day. A player can equip fifteen items and with a Martial Soul at level sixty-five can embed sixty-four gems. Therefore, in about a month, a small team could cultivate a player equipped entirely with third-level stones just through farming.
While Lufeng was farming in the dungeon, he spoke less and less until Wang Xiaojing couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was just thinking about Skill Engraving!" Lufeng replied with a slight smile.
At that moment, the fourth batch of thirty Rebel Thugs was eliminated, leading to the fourth Rebel Leader's appearance. Lufeng no longer held back; he treated the Rebel Leader as his enemy and attacked fiercely while dodging the leader's large blade and critical strikes, continuously counterattacking the boss.
Gao Chao and the others were momentarily stunned, not knowing which play Lufeng was performing.
