From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 412 - 281: Promoted to Master Level

"Due to the horrific costs of accommodation and needing to stay in this world for at least another 16 days, we just can’t afford the lodging expenses,"

Therefore, the group dared to book only three rooms.

Rong Xincheng’s team of three shared one room; Lu Heng, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi’en squeezed into another room, while Su Muyu stayed in a room by herself.

Fortunately, the greatest feature of Elf architecture is its spaciousness.

A hotel room could be estimated to be about two hundred square meters; even a dragon could fit inside without a problem.

Because the room was so spacious, it made Su Muyu a bit uncomfortable.

In the vast empty room with only herself, she felt inexplicably lonely.

She had no choice but to let out her Chongming Bird and said to the fiery red bird, "It’s our first night in the Elf Royal City, and this room is many times bigger than our room at home. I’m going to sleep now, Chongming Bird, you take care of the door, we have to go work at the Gem Workshop tomorrow."

...

A night without words.

The next morning, the group headed to the industrial district of the Elf Royal City and began work in the workshop.

Lu Heng started off with a Level 6 Weapon Quenching procedure on a long-handled weapon from the Elf Clan.

This long-handled weapon, similar to a javelin, could be thrown but was mostly used as a melee weapon.

Kaelthorn watched from aside and, after confirming that Lu Heng was capable of completing the Quenching independently, he felt relieved and walked away to handle other tasks.

Lu Heng, starting from Level 6 Quenching and with a well-coordinated assistant, simultaneously worked on quenching three weapons.

The experience of his Vice Profession as a Quenching Master also rapidly increased during the process.

After completing the Level 6 Quenching for these weapons, Kaelthorn came to inspect the Quenching effects.

He was very surprised, "You finished it already?"

Since the pace of life for the Elf Clan is very leisurely, their work is also unhurried.

After all, with a lifespan of a thousand years to slowly spend, they naturally don’t need to rush every second.

Kaelthorn originally thought Lu Heng’s Quenching was too fast and worried about a low success rate.

He checked the quenching materials in the box and found that not much had been used.

Upon a failed Quenching, the Quenching Master has to keep adding materials and repeat the Quenching process.

Therefore, when Quenching is done on a large scale, the lower the success rate, the more material is consumed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Kaelthorn, the master nexus Quenching Master, experienced and observant, could estimate the success rate by a single glance at the remaining materials.

Thus, after briefly looking at the material box at Lu Heng’s station, he estimated Lu Heng’s Quenching success rate to be around 90%.

A 90% success rate in the Elf Clan’s Quenching Workshop was already top-notch.

As a master Quenching Master handling Level 6 Quenching, he could only ensure a 90% success rate.

Now, with Lu Heng achieving this success rate as an Advanced Quenching Master, it demonstrated his extremely high skill level.

Even more terrifying was that Lu Heng’s Quenching speed was three to four times faster than other Elf Quenching Masters; while others completed quenching one weapon, Lu Heng had already finished three.

Initially, Kaelthorn was worried about Lu Heng’s low success rate and only allocated him Level 6 Quenching tasks, but now he found Lu Heng’s capabilities far exceeded his expectations.

He pointed at the batch of weapons that had just completed Level 6 Quenching and said, "Then keep going. Upgrade these weapons to Level 9."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement and then asked, "Can the payment be settled daily? The hotel accommodation is a bit expensive."

Yesterday, Su Muyu had paid the lodging fee with Inscription Gems, of which there were not many, making it rather extravagant to use them for such expenses.

Moreover, the stint at the Elf Clan’s Workshop would not last long, at most three to five days.

Once the Abyss Summoners are called, they must prioritize their tasks on the battlefield.

Therefore, daily settlement would be much more convenient.

Kaelthorn considered for a moment, aware that these Summoners would not stay long, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, you can find me after work today."

Lu Heng was quite pleased with this and continued to start the Quenching, elevating the weapons’ Quenching Level from 6 directly up to 9.

After finishing, it was already evening.

The Elf Quenching Masters had gradually left, and only a few craftsmen remained in the workshop.

Lu Heng completed the final Level 9 Quenching and then went to fetch Kaelthorn to examine the effects of the Quenching.

Kaelthorn picked a few weapons to inspect and was very pleased with the results, "Very well, I didn’t expect you to complete three to four days’ worth of other Quenching Masters’ work in just one day. It’s really great to have your help.

"By the way, here’s the daily payment you mentioned earlier, issued according to the standards of the Quenching Workshop, a total of three hundred Crystal Coins."

He handed a bag to Lu Heng, adding, "Come back tomorrow, I’ll assign you the Spirit Injection tasks. Can you handle that?"

"Of course, I can handle both the first and second Spirit Injection, with a success rate of about seventy percent," Lu Heng was more eager to perform Spirit Injection.

The reason is simple, Spirit Injection gives more experience.

After today’s work, the experience for his Advanced Quenching Master profession had reached (2750/3000).

At this rate, two or three more days should get him to the master level.

...

Night.

The group once again left the workshop and regrouped to return to the hotel in the commercial district.

Lu Heng, holding the bag of money, tossed it and handed it to Su Muyu, saying, "Use this to pay for the lodging in the future."

The others, seeing Su Muyu taking out the Crystal Coins from the bag, asked in surprise, "Where did you get the elf currency?"

"Daily payment, didn’t you request it?" Lu Heng blinked.
