82: Weak life skills? Then I will name the forbidden spell and teach you how to behave.

The Mayor's Office of Xiao Base City.

At this moment, the guild masters of Xiao Base City's major guilds were gathered.

Mayor Bai Haishan sat in the main seat, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Mayor Bai, why don't you say something? My Burial Love Guild wants Lin Ling!" Burial Love Guild Master Ye Tianming stood up and said.

"What do you mean your Burial Love Guild wants him? When Lin Ling first awakened, my War Sky Guild was the first to offer him an olive branch. If anyone's taking him, we're taking him first."

War Sky Guild Master Lei Zhantian looked at Ye Tianming, unconvinced.

"Old Lei, who was it that, upon hearing Lin Ling had a useless talent, pretended to be busy and quickly ran off? I remember the first one to slip away was you, Lei Zhantian."

A wave of mockery came over, and Chen Xiao, the Alliance Master of the War God Alliance, knowing he had no chance, couldn't help but kick him while he was down.

"Chen Xiao..."

Just as Lei Zhantian was about to get angry, Mayor Bai Haishan suddenly roared, "Enough!"

The three guild masters simultaneously shivered and looked at Bai Haishan.

"Don't think I don't know what you're all planning? When people needed you, you ignored them, but now that you know Lin Ling is Ye Xiu, you want to take him in, and he'll just join you? Are you dreaming?"

Bai Haishan's face was ashen, but in truth, he was filled with even more regret.

He truly couldn't understand why, even though the higher-ups said an SSS-rank Laws Darling was a useless talent, Lin Ling could still be so strong?

Just because of a sacred set?

Although the sacred set was indeed important, could someone else wearing it really achieve the first clear of the Nightmare Abyss Dungeon?

He wouldn't believe it even if he died.

But the higher-ups couldn't possibly be lying to them, could they?

"Mayor Bai, if you hadn't said he was useless, would we have left?"

"Exactly, now more and more people are asking Lin Ling to hand over the sacred set."

"That's a sacred set! High-level sacred sets can be bought with money, but a sacred set for a beginner? Forget seeing one, no one has even heard of it."

"Old Lei is right, Lin Ling will eventually grow up, and this equipment will eventually be replaced. If such a treasure remains in Xiao, will we be able to have a top-tier newcomer every year from now on?"

"Lin Ling must join a guild. Our three major guilds are at least second-tier guilds. Besides Ya Zi in Xiao, we are the biggest. He was expelled by Ya Zi, so he definitely won't go back to Ya Zi. Maybe we'll have a chance."

Bai Haishan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have an idea. Why don't the three of you join forces and form a brand new guild, for example, called the Cupid Guild? That way, you'll almost be able to enter the ranks of first-tier guilds."

"Exactly, Lin Ling is just a newcomer, with no backing and no resources. When the time comes, we, the guild masters, will personally go to him, which would be giving him enough face."

"Good idea, our three families can pool 100 million dragon coins for his development funds. Wouldn't he be so happy he'd sing and dance when he sees 100 million dragon coins?"

Just as the guild masters were beaming with excitement, Mayor's secretary Xiao Wang suddenly rushed in.

"Lin Ling is back. He's probably gone home now," the mayor's secretary said.

The three guild masters' eyes immediately lit up.

"Old Bai, the new guild is up to you. We're going to his house now to find him. Don't worry, we'll definitely keep Lin Ling in Xiao."

As soon as the three finished speaking, they quickly rushed out.

"Let Xiao Wang go with you. He represents me fully. Lin Ling should give him some face," Mayor Bai's voice rang out, and Secretary Xiao Wang immediately followed them.

Lin Ling's home.

"Kid, this blueprint of yours... Hey, you're even making exclusive weapons?" Jiang Shan Yi picked up a draft of an exclusive weapon design and asked in surprise.

Lin Ling comfortably took a sip from a can of iced cola before saying, "Brother Jiang, do you want to change your clothes?"

At this moment, Jiang Shan Yi looked like a refugee, his hair disheveled and clothes tattered.

Before, he was worried about being ridiculed for his appearance, but ever since Lin Ling joined the War God Hall, the old man didn't care at all.

The expression on his face even showed a hint of pride.

It seemed that having a fight with Lin Ling had instead become something he could boast about for ten years.

"Tsk, don't mind these details! I'm asking you a question. Are you very interested in exclusive weapons?" Jiang Shan Yi asked with a pout.

Lin Ling didn't bother with small talk and directly took out the Ling Tian Staff and threw it over.

Jiang Shan Yi took the staff, and a hint of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, you actually made one. But it'll be difficult for your staff to continue upgrading," Jiang Shan Yi suddenly said, shaking his head.

Lin Ling frowned and looked at Jiang Shan Yi in confusion, "I've already tested it; as long as there are enough materials, it can be upgraded."

Jiang Shan Yi shook his head again, "If exclusive weapons were that easy to make, who would spend a fortune buying equipment?"

Lin Ling didn't speak, but the confusion in his eyes deepened.

"Do you think that with a blueprint, learning a basic life forging skill, and having materials, you can just keep upgrading an exclusive weapon's level all the way up?" Jiang Shan Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't that right?" Lin Ling asked.

"Of course not." Jiang Shan Yi took out a silver staff from his hand, "After successfully embedding 60-level materials, you'll find that your life forging panel simply cannot continue to upgrade the exclusive weapon.

This seemingly simple thing contains many techniques you can't imagine.

Moreover, the blueprints you made using ordinary simulators inherently have flaws and simply cannot successfully embed the final upgrade materials."

A strange look flashed in Lin Ling's eyes. This was truly the first time he had heard of these things.

After all, in his previous life, he had only obtained the core blueprints released by America-Alliance.

In this life, he spent three years thoroughly understanding these blueprints and then modifying them into blueprints he could use.

He thought that the simulation design program of a guild like Ya Zi could already meet his needs.

Now it seemed that he might have been taking things for granted.

"Brother Jiang, then how can I continue to improve my exclusive weapon?" Lin Ling humbly asked for advice.

"First, you need to find a way to raise your life Professional skill level. This takes too much time, so I suggest you don't do it yourself. I'll help you find a high-level blacksmith from the War God Hall. Although exclusive weapons made by others won't perfectly match you, the quality will be much higher than what you, an amateur, can produce," Jiang Shan Yi said.

Lin Ling's face suddenly broke into a faint smile upon hearing this, "No need, Old Jiang, I still plan to do it myself."

Low Professional skill level? Forbidden Curse Naming Art, understand?

Lin Ling was already somewhat looking forward to the scene of his forging skill becoming Forbidden Spell-level.

"You brat, could it be that you can even turn forging skills into Forbidden Spell-level?"

Jiang Shan Yi said grumpily, but as soon as his words fell, his eyes widened.

Why not?

"If you really want to do it yourself, you'll also need to find a high-level forging laboratory. The War God Hall has one, but you'll need to go through procedures to use it, and this is under Tu Nanyi's jurisdiction, so he'll definitely make things difficult.

Or you can look for those large organizations in Kyoto Base City. I have an old friend who is the guild master of the Forging Guild in Kyoto. I can help you put in a good word, and you can borrow the laboratory to use.

He should not refuse given my face, or if you are capable, you can find his daughter. Although that girl looks delicate, she is an exclusive weapon manufacturing fanatic, and she can provide you with some useful experience."

Jiang Shan Yi finished speaking in one breath and handed the Ling Tian Staff back to Lin Ling.

"Brother Jiang, is the Forging Guild's laboratory not open to the public normally?" Lin Ling asked.

If it was something that could be solved with money, he didn't want to use up favors.

"Hahahaha... You can try your luck, but that girl Autumn Leaf has a bit of a fiery temper, so don't get chased out," Jiang Shan Yi said.

Lin Ling nodded, having already made up his mind to go to Kyoto Base City to check it out tomorrow after completing the Black Mountain Demon King quest.

"I wonder how Meng Yan and Li Jingliang are doing?" As soon as he thought of the Black Mountain Demon King quest, Lin Ling couldn't help but think of his teammates from Ya Zi whom he had spent three years with day and night.

Although they had gone their separate ways, Lin Ling understood that there were many things beyond one's control in the world. At least for the past three years, Li Jingliang and the others were his best friends.

"Brother Jiang, does the War God Hall accept equipment?" Recalling his thoughts, Lin Ling suddenly asked.

"Open the guild panel. The War God Hall is a national organization, and our Dragon Country's national team naturally belongs to a special-grade guild.

There's a guild shop inside. You can take out the equipment you want to sell and scan it. A specialist will quickly assess your equipment.

You can exchange it for dragon coins or for points," Jiang Shan Yi said.

Lin Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on the guild interface, indeed seeing the guild shop.

He quickly began taking out useless equipment, and soon a quote popped up, which was not at all less than what Yunmeng Trading House offered.

When he took out the perfect set he had seized from the Sakura Country ninja, a long string of numbers appeared in the quote.

"Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... 100 million?"

Lin Ling licked his lips. This one perfect Ghost Blade set was worth 100 million?

He had looted several sets, and he also had Yamamoto Ichiro's legendary set.

When he had scanned all the items for sale, the transaction amount on the system interface had already reached 5 billion dragon coins.

Looking at the long string of numbers, Lin Ling's lips couldn't help but curl up high.

It would be great if Sakura Country sent more ninjas.

"You brat, was your mental strength 120 when you awakened?" Jiang Shan Yi suddenly asked.

Lin Ling nodded.

"Wait until you reach Nine Revolution, I'll find a way to get you some treasures to improve your mental strength. The importance of mental strength is no less than that of the four-dimensional attributes," Jiang Shan Yi said.

Lin Ling was full of doubt, "Is mental strength a real thing? Don't Professionals only talk about attributes? What's the use of mental strength?"

"Mental strength determines a Professional's upper limit and is related to whether a Nine Revolution Professional can become a god!" Jiang Shan Yi said solemnly.

"Become a god?" Lin Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, "Can one really become a god?"
