Resurrection and Such
Linsey raised an eyebrow and left the Lighthouse.
He returned to the ground with this question in mind and walked towards the World's Edge.
Two hundred meters is not a long distance.
Reaching the edge of the earth, what appeared before Linsey was a scene where all rules and common sense seemed to have been thrown to the back of her mind.
There was no solid earth, no undulating mountains, and no flowing rivers; only the stars in the sky, hanging high in the boundless Abyss of darkness.
The deep and silent scene stretches forward, as if time itself has lost its meaning here.
call--
Just then, a biting winter wind swept past Linsey.
A whisper from afar echoed before her, as if telling Linsey in a special language that this was an unfinished painting, still awaiting the master's touch and the emergence of life...
Linsey remained silent.
He stood at the World's Edge, gazing into the distance, but still found nothing. Even after switching to a telescope to broaden his field of vision, he still gained nothing.
Linsey's eyes showed some resentment:
Why do distances on the ground change?
He shook his head slightly, squatted down, and used his Commodity Skill to examine the surrounding soil and rocks.
However, commodified skills only prove that everything on the World's Edge is just ordinary soil and rocks with nothing special about it.
Nothing unexpected happened at all! "..."
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these issues."
Half an hour later, Linsey decisively gave up the idea of delving deeper into the issue.
Everything has its priorities and urgency.
Dealing with the Dragon Beast of the Black Mountain World is his most pressing objective.
Linsey's gaze returned to the synthesis formula for the Ancestor Spirit Core.
"Ancestor Spirit Core, Titanium Alloy, Advanced Gem Powder."
Synthesizing the [Glorious Bullet].
Linsey is actually only missing two crafting materials.
The first is the Meteorite needed to forge the Titanium Alloy, and the second is Advanced Gem Powder.
Ironically, he actually had information on the latter! When Linsey was inquiring about valuable materials in town, he asked almost every awakened person there. Complete Advanced Gem were indeed unavailable in this Border Town, but powder was certainly available!
"Ms. Agnes."
Linsey murmured a name.
The Awakened One who possessed the Advanced Gem Powder was the artist from the Seven Seas Alliance whom he had previously wanted to learn musical instruments from.
I never expected this.
The study plan that was put on hold back then is now back in front of Linsey for this reason.
At that moment, Linsey looked up at the sky.
After all that trouble he'd gone through, it was already too late, and it was really inconvenient to disturb a lady so late at night.
It would be better to go back and rest for a while.
I'll visit their home tomorrow after I've made all the necessary preparations.
Having made up his mind, Linsey headed south of the town, intending to return to his cabin to sleep.
He casually opened the Attribute Panel, planning to allocate the experience points awarded for [Cultivate New Cold-Resistant Crops] as well.
"Um?"
Linsey suddenly stopped moving.
Because on his Attribute Panel's Task Bar, a new quest had inexplicably appeared! [Ancestor Spirit Revival]
[Use the failed Ancestor Spirit Core to revive this ancient and powerful Ancestral Spirit!]
[Quest Reward: Glory Corona Sword, +1 Module Slot, massive attribute/ Skill Experience Points.]
Module Slot +1!
This reward immediately caught Linsey's attention. After all, the number of modules activated simultaneously directly affected his strength.
However, what followed the anticipation was surprise.
"This thing is really outrageous."
Linsey shook her head slightly.
It's important to know that the tasks displayed on the Task Bar are basically tasks that he participated in and that he created based on his own desires.
Linsey knew absolutely nothing about the so-called resurrection of Ancestral Spirit.
The only answer is that the will of the Ancestral Spirit still remains in this core, which is why it affects the changes in the Task Bar.
These high-level beings are truly outrageous.
Unfortunately, all that was on Linsey's face at that moment was a slightly apologetic smile:
"I still need to use you to fight the Dragon Beast."
"As for resurrection, I can only apologize in advance."
Without hesitation, Linsey put the task out of her mind and began allocating her experience points.
The rewards for this mission are the highest ever.
A rough calculation shows that if all the points were used to enhance basic attributes, and allocated reasonably, it should increase them by about six points in total. At a normal training pace, this would take at least three years to achieve.
However, Linsey did not add the experience points to her attributes.
Because if you invest all your experience points into Basic Swordsmanship, you can upgrade this skill from proficient to master!
From "Quick Shot" to "Forest Archer".
Linsey has already deeply experienced the power of this advancement.
So without hesitation, he allocated all the reward experience to Basic Swordsmanship.
Basic Swordsmanship
(Proficient) → (Master)
(Advantage Strike) → (Desperate Blade)
"The Desperate Blade?"
Linsey pulled out the Ice Fang Dagger.
He could sense this ability even without fighting, simply by holding the weapon in his hand.
Its core ability lies in the word "desperate".
Normally, this skill won't have much effect, but in life-or-death battles, Linsey's offense will be greatly enhanced.
"Is this encouraging me to risk my life?"
Linsey pouted in dissatisfaction.
He could sense the power of this skill, but just like the RPG Module that encouraged him to take risks, something that only worked if you risked your life always felt a little ominous.
If there is an option.
Linsey still wanted to defeat the enemy while ensuring her own safety.
After a few casual tests, Linsey put away his weapon and continued on his way back.
Regarding the Advanced Gem Powder, he plans to visit the artist Agnes tomorrow.
As for the gifts for a visit...
Thinking of this, Linsey's gaze fell on the [Food Production] skill that she had just unlocked.
"Isn't this you!"
Perfect-quality food can even satisfy Linsey's Life Source Material.
It is undoubtedly the best way to get in touch with the other party.
Back home, Linsey got right to work, preparing ingredients under the cover of night.
Now we have the help of skills.
His cooking process can be completely disregarded; he only needs to wait for the pointer to move and aim for the right moment to get the best results.
Only a quarter of an hour passed.
Linsey was presented with a dazzling array of food.
"Hmm... I'll try it first, slurp... If it doesn't taste good, um... that would be terrible..."
Another hour passed.
Linsey prepared a perfect meal, packed it into her bag, and then lay down on the bed, drifting off to sleep with the exhaustion of the day.
What Linsey didn't know was...
After the perfect food continuously satisfies the craving for the Life Source Material, and after falling into a deep sleep immediately amidst exhaustion.
On Linsey's Attribute Panel, the entry for Life Source Material was also slowly changing.
