Cleaning up the side job cost nearly half of his experience, but it was still acceptable for Li Aoz.

With the implantation complete, Li Aoz didn't hesitate and transferred his consciousness into the body. His [Flesh Affinity] feat allowed him to quickly adapt to the body's capabilities.

Splash—

Li Aoz straightened up from the Biochemical Pool, the medicine on his body quickly evaporating. While putting on his clothes, Li Aoz checked his new attributes.

Name: Li Aoz

[Title]: Catastrophe, Pioneer of the Future

[Race]: Thanatos Human Race

Gender: Biological Male)

[Age]: 22 [Template]: Advanced Veteran Combat-Type NPC (+10% maximum health, +15% Damage Rate)

[Faction]: Layered Abyss - Galaxy's Eye Border - Crystal Tower Civilization

[Total Level]: lv.80 — [Main Class]: [Mutant] Lv.60 (MAX) — [Sub-Class]: [Biochemist] lv.20; [Mage] lv.0 [Health Points]: 13,800/13,800 [Mana]: 19,400/19,400 [Attributes]: Strength — 100 Dexterity — 100 Constitution — 100 Charisma — 111 (Final Gain: 144.3) Intelligence — 92.4 (Final Gain: 110.8)

[Talent]: [Racial Talent - Spell Aptitude]: [Intelligence] For every 50 points gained, you can set any magic system as your 'Specialization'. Specialized spells will gain 180% learning speed and reduce mana cost by 8% when casting spells.

Current specialization: Universal Magic

[Class Talent - Immortal Genes] (Advanced) - You are the pioneer of life, the leader of flesh and blood, and the revolutionary of species evolution. You can gain one point of the [Constitution] attribute for each biochemist-exclusive knowledge you learn.

Beta Advanced Effect: Based on the [Charm] attribute, for every 10 points of [Charm] you have, you will gain an additional 200 points of 'Mimicry' health.

—From [Biochemist][Class Talent ·Mutation]—Your Genetic Potential has been unleashed, and [mutations] will occur from time to time. This may change your appearance or give you some kind of benefit (Mutation item correction: Mutations will no longer produce Negative Effect).

—From [Mutant][Class Talent: Arcane Deconstruction]—Your energy is converted into ' Mana ', and for each transcendental skill learned in your Main Class, your maximum Mana and mana regeneration rate are permanently increased by 1%.

—From [The Magician]—

Li Aoz didn't look at the extra information in detail; it was basically all correct, and these were the key items.

"Strength, dexterity, physique, intelligence, and charisma have all been improved. Now I have no weaknesses. Although I am not at the Gamma-rank, my stats have already crushed them."

With the restoration of his [Gene Damage] status, Li Aoz's Aoneng and strength were fully unleashed.

Now that [Physical Enhancement] is activated, his [Power] will explode, increasing by 220% to over 300 points.

Unfortunately, while merging the equipment provides a significant boost to non- Primary Attribute, the Primary Attribute [Charm] of Li Aoz remains almost unchanged after the initial boost.

Using armor to boost stats or secondary professions to improve stats isn't uncommon. It's just that players can't collect as much experience and gene fragments as he does. If it were a player, being able to max out two secondary professions in one version would already be considered a hardcore grinder.

This is similar to banks earning interest; everyone knows the method, but the results are drastically different when a rich person invests their money versus a poor person. Even if the former suffers business failure and losses, their savings can help them weather the risks, while the latter are forced to withdraw their savings to cope with the risks.

Raising stats isn't too difficult. In the later stages, everyone's base stats are generally not too far off... except for the [Starcaller], who is extremely fragile.

If Qiqiao Network hadn't blocked the actual effects of player attributes, we'd probably still see players outsmarting NPCs instead of running errands and unclogging toilets.

Li Aoz tidied up his equipment and then used the Biochemical Pool to make some potions.

Although this trip may not necessarily lead to battle, it is better to be prepared.

Li Aoz didn't rush to inject the new Aura Awakening Potion. He had enough Aoneng on hand, and accumulating too much Aoneng Gene Load.

In the future, he will gradually eliminate non-sequence Aoneng, retaining his own combat system. The Bloodfiend Style build can be used up to the Zeta-rank. To go any higher, Sequence Aura will be necessary.

As for the [Mage] class, Li Aoz is currently reluctant to give it experience.

He currently has far too little experience to learn knowledge and skills, and the [Mage] class, unlike the [Martial Artist] class, does not grant passive skills simply by leveling up.

None of the professions under the [Mastery] category have a built-in skill tree.

Otherwise, why would it be said that mages are difficult to train? In the early stages, mages need to farm money, gain experience, and learn knowledge to combine with combat skills.

Now that [Intelligence] is sufficient, simply upgrading the secondary profession level is not very meaningful. On the contrary, once the players enter the game, the [Li Aoz will become very interesting.

After all, burning mana for enchantments costs no money for Li Aoz.

With everything prepared, Li Aoz took out the weapon he had found in the underground cave of [Hero of Pharassia].

Previously, because there was no way to authenticate it, Li Aoz had always carried it with him but could not use it.

The appraisal fee for Magic Civilization is quite expensive, ranging from 3.8% to 5.5% of the item's value.

Spending money isn't out of the question; it's not like Li Aoz can't afford it.

However, if he actually takes it for testing, once the results come out, it won't be a question of 'whether it's feasible' or not, but rather a question of 'whether it's a criminal offense'.

Now that the Eye of Truth has returned, Li Aoz naturally has to bring it out.

He unwrapped the animal hide that was wrapped around the sword, revealing its true form: it was a simple-looking longsword that at first glance seemed unremarkable, with a brass hilt, a deep red cord, and a simple lion-carved counterweight.

The Eye of Truth

[Initiating authentication of an item...]

[Specialty [Autocratic] - Activated!]

[Charm test passed! Great success!]

[Authentication Completed]

[Item Name]: Fate Awakening Sword [Category]: Swords/Cold Weapons

[Quality]: "Mythical Creation"

[Attribute]: Damage +200 (Mythical bonus attribute) Peak: Deals at least 80 additional physical damage to unarmored targets.

[Sword Exclusive]: Critical hit damage +20%, making combo attacks easier and allowing for quick passage through enemy bodies.

[Introduction]: "Unite all forces that can be united, and crush all obstacles that stand in our way! Now, our destinies are intertwined. Never forget the fight; we will never perish!"

The person who uttered those words has vanished into history.

This is the sword of a loser, from the God Embracer of the Pharassia Civilization — 'Sharp Tooth Peak ' Kario.

Although of superior quality, enough to be called a weapon of the gods, the person who used it refused to acknowledge himself as a god for the rest of his life.

' Sharp Tooth Peak ' rose from humble beginnings. As an ordinary man born into a blacksmith family, he embarked on a path of battle for the people of Falicia and was fortunate enough to ascend to Path to Godhood.

' Sharp Tooth Peak ' believed that the people who raised him would change, and he believed that even without divine power, his people could unite and defeat the enemies who invaded their homeland.

However, since his fall, his followers have only known how to sing praises to his name and build idols for him, but they never take up his sword to fight against his former enemies.

Over time, the precious sword fell into disrepair, and the clan he had placed so much hope in also perished.

Blade length: 102 cm Net weight: 2.5 kg Material:

Demonic Hains Cold Iron

Rare Mithril Space Adamantite Proto-Elf Braid

Demigod's Blood (Quenching) Sharpness Modifier: 100 (For every 1% increase in Peak Sharpness, gain 100 base damage, up to a maximum of 800) "I left you with swords and thoughts for battle, yet you chose to kneel before my statue in faith—how laughable."

[Equipment Requirements]: "Anyone who is not a citizen of [Society] can wield this sword."

[Additional Skill]: Refining - The blade of ' Sharp Tooth Peak ' is forged in the flames of fire, and even if it is damaged in battle, it can self-repair by absorbing minerals.

"Lord of Metal and Iron" - Activating the power of divine blood, the divine power of ' Sharp Tooth Peak ' is infused into the sword, giving the blade a magnetic vibration effect that will inflict True Damage on Carbon-Based Life. (Consumes 10% of the user's maximum Mana per second) "Self-Forging Furnace" - ' Sharp Tooth Peak ' was a master blacksmith, and this weapon inherits its will. As a divine artifact, it requires no professional forging table; it only needs to absorb specific minerals and materials to evolve on its own.

Armed Empire – This sword seems to possess an independent consciousness within it; perhaps you must gain its approval to fully unleash its power.

"The Vivid Demon Iron Monarch" - (Unsealed) - ——————————

"The Blacksmith's Sword, I've finally got it."

As a weapon of "Mythical Creation", the attributes and additional effects of the Fate Awakening Sword are not as good as the two "Timeless Masterpiece" that Li Aoz had previously obtained.

In fact, most of the time, "Mythical Creation" are of little use in battles.

However, there is one thing about "Mythical Creation" that "Timeless Masterpiece" can never match.

Li Aoz activated [Soul-Inscribed Sword Saint], immediately establishing a link with the internal consciousness of the Fate Awakening Sword.

Can you hear me?

Li Aoz said.

"... Ha, another tomb raider."

Li Aoz's consciousness responded immediately; the sword's voice sounded extremely languid, like a child who hadn't woken up yet.

"Year after year has passed, and those who came to trace the footsteps of Sharp Tooth Peak have all turned into thieves greedy for treasure. How pathetic."

Don't say that. You should be grateful that it was me who found you, and not one of those people who couldn't communicate with you.

"Hmph, don't try to sway me with sweet words. The person who buried me in the box is just as despicable as the person who tried to control my destiny."

The Divine Sword was still resentful about being trapped in the box, but it also maintained a certain level of vigilance towards outsiders.

Li Aoz was straightforward, quickly trying to Favorability:

I found you beneath the tombs of the Falicia Heroes. Who hid you there?

"He's an idiot."
