Immortality, Enhanced Bones, and Undead Aura . All three skills were so good that I forgot the world around me for a while .
As I thought, the new skills didn’t disappoint me . Any one of them could’ve increased my strength by leaps and bounds . Although there were no active offensive skills this time, I was fine with it . After all, I had acquired a lot of offensive techniques through other means .
Pardon + Desperate Gambit was my ultimate one-shot combo!
Ice Ray + Slayer Slash was my ultimate CC combo!
Thousand Mirage Slash was even more amazing because it was the first physical damage AoE skill I had ever seen in Heavenblessed . Although its rank was a bit lacking right now, it was only a matter of time before its attack power and attack range increased dramatically . Its might would astound the world and make my opponents wish they were dead, especially since I’m the kind of player who put all stats into Strength!
Every skill cost 50 gold to learn . There was no negotiating here .
I stared at Suren . While his bones were white, his heart was as black as charcoal . Thankfully, I had saved up quite a bit of money for myself, so I paid him 150 gold and learned all three skills . They were seriously expensive though . Right now 1 gold was worth around 20 RMB, so 150 gold was basically 3000 RMB . It was a nightmarish cost for anyone who prioritized grinding experience!
The moment I learned Undead Aura, a b.l.o.o.d.y hexagonal formation fell from the sky and landed at my feet, my body at the center . The partially-visible magic array was the range of my buffing aura, although it was only effective on undead players and creatures . To be honest, it was a bit of a huge flaw .
Next, I activated Immortality!
“Roar!”
A soul suddenly appeared out of nowhere, enveloping me and entering my body . It looked and felt like a guardian spirit . Hmm, a 1% chance to revive at full HP, huh? I guess I should practice my faith a lot more often from now own .
I brought up my friend list and contacted Yamete . “Mamate, I have over 200 Rank 5 pelts with me . You want them?”
Mamate replied quickly, “That’s exactly what I need right now! I love you, Lu Chen!”
I felt chills all over my body . Mamate’s love was too much for me to handle!
I crushed a return scroll and appeared in Floating Ice City’s teleportation formation in an instant . I saw Mamate making armor at the square not far away from here .

I ran up to him and selected the hundreds of pelts in my warehouse . Then, I dumped them all to Mamate . His eyes widened in surprise at my giant collection of random skins and pelts, so he couldn’t help himself and asked, “Holy s.h.i.+t! Where do you get so many pelts, Lu Chen?”
I smiled . “I have a skill called Death Plunder that loots the body of a monster’s corpse . When I use it on beast-type monsters, four out of five times the skill will yield a pelt or two, so…”
Mamate’s eyes lit up . “In that case, please collect as many as you can and give them all to me . Gui Guzi and Lil Beiming spent a whole night farming pelts, but you easily outdid them in just a couple of hours! Anyway, I’m going to rely on you guys to farm as many pelts as possible and give them all to me . I’ll buy the ores I need and get my Armorsmithing to Rank 7!”
“Everyone’s working hard, eh? I promise I’ll farm some pelts whenever I’m free!”
“Okay!”
… . . .
After bidding Mamate goodbye, I went away to carry out some black-hearted cooking business!
I bought dozens of stacks of Salt and threw them into the warehouse . Then, I sat next to the warehouse manager and went about my business . The Rank 6 Magic Consumable, Steamed Fish Soup, required the following ingredients: Fish Meat x25, Salt x10, Green Pepper x10 and Garlic x10 . I had enough Fish Meat to last me for a month, and Salt could be bought for cheap at the stores . I also had some Green Pepper and Garlic left in the warehouse, meaning that I could start making Steamed Fish Soup right away!
I brought up the cooking screen and selected 25 Fish Meat, 10 Salt, 10 Green Pepper and 10 Garlic . Then, I clicked “Confirm”!
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have made Steamed Fish Soup x5 . Cooking Proficiency +5!
I did it!
Several Rank 6 Magic Consumables appeared inside my bag . Each of these could restore 600 MP to a player, and it was going to become the new sweetheart of all the mages at the current stage of the game!
Also, I wasn’t expecting one set of ingredients to yield a total of 5 Steamed Fish Soup per craft . I’m rich!
I continued to make more Steamed Fish Soup, and I wasn’t surprised to find that I could consistently craft 5 Steamed Fish Soup with just one set of ingredients . When 10 of the same Magic Consumables were created, they automatically bundled into a stack . In just the blink of an eye, I had created 20 stacks of Steamed Fish Soup and greatly increased my Cooking Proficiency .

Not long after however, I ran out of Green Pepper, and I had to restock at the local foragers . Luckily, every forager had reached Rank 3 at this point, and since it was really easy to find Green Pepper in the wild and bring it back to the city, its price had fallen drastically . For the mere price of 2 gold I bought 25 stacks .
2 gold was worth 40 RMB, maybe 50 RMB at the very most, and it would probably take a player ten whole hours to gather this many Green Peppers . With that hourly wage, it could only be called hard labor .
Still, it was their own fault for not getting to the appropriate rank fast enough to surpa.s.s their compet.i.tors . If you couldn’t be the first, someone else would, and take all the profits that came with it . “First come first serve” had been the king of all business principles since forever .
Another crazy round of cooking later, I finally used up most of my ingredients to create 74 full stacks, or 740 Steamed Fish Soups . It was a devastating number of Rank 6 Magic Consumables to say the least, and I was certain that it would dominate 50% of the market at the minimum the moment I started selling them!
