73: Xu Future

When fellow villagers meet, tears well up in their eyes.

Being in a foreign land, people from the same hometown naturally feel closer.

The few people from Xia Nation added each other on Fish Bubble.

Which is the Mohe Clan's version of QQ and WeChat.

They added each other as friends for easy contact.

After loading the Human—Xia Nation Language version, Fish Bubble was quite good to use.

It had a very exotic feel, full of novelty.

To Lin Ye's surprise, that Ninth Order person actively contacted him.

“Hello, Lin Ye.”

His handsome face, illuminated by the constant sun, revealed a perfect profile, and his long, clean hands occasionally shielded the sunlight, exuding the aura of a scholar.

“Hello, Mr. Xu, may I ask why you are here?” Lin Ye was a bit surprised. He didn't know much about this Ninth Order from Xia Nation, and his note on Fish Bubble was also Mr. Xu.

But he still invited the person in first.

The sunlight from the constant star in the Mohe Clan's star system was exceptionally harsh.

No wonder the other Life planet in this star system was entirely a sea of sand.

Xu Weilai sat down and said gently, “It seems your teacher didn't tell you, well, he's afraid of me like a rabbit.”

“Mr. Xu, you know my teacher?” Lin Ye was a bit surprised.

“My name is Xu Weilai, Xu Qian is my younger sister.”

Future Group's boss?

He finally knew why this Mr. Xu looked so familiar; he had glimpsed him when checking Future Group's information.

What should he call his teacher's wife's brother?

Teacher's uncle? Teacher's senior?

“Uncle Xu, what a coincidence.” Lin Ye decided to use the safest address.

He was genuinely happy to see a half-acquaintance.

Xu Weilai sighed, “Don't call me Uncle Xu, I'm only forty. Just call me Mr. Xu.” (The author himself is very young)

Lin Ye nodded, “Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be chosen too. What about Future Group?”

Xu Weilai didn't mind, “The group is entrusted to Xu Qian to manage.”

He paused, then continued, “Coming to see you, on one hand, is to get acquainted, and on the other hand, it's to take you to my place and tell you something.”

Lin Ye was curious, but didn't ask further.

The two left Lin Ye's residence.

Mr. Xu didn't talk much, so Lin Ye didn't say much either, following behind him.

Xu Weilai, at only forty years old, had reached the Ninth Order, truly a genius of his generation, and he was an ultra-rare profession, a Rune Mage.

Runes, a very mysterious power, are known as the power of gods.

By constructing runes, one can master various incredible powers.

Rune Power is hailed as the fundamental power of the universe.

And this divine power is very accessible; as long as one has enough talent and mental power, they can comprehend runes and use them for themselves, so many mages comprehend runes.

And Arcane Mages and Rune Mages are among the best.

Especially Rune Mages, they specialize in runes, and all their abilities serve runes.

Rune Affinity, Soul Painter, Dexterous Hands, Eye of Analysis, Rune Mage Body, Overload.

There is no elemental power control of traditional mages; everything serves runes.

Therefore, Rune Mages are also terrifyingly powerful.

Before they make a move, you cannot know the limit of a Rune Mage's power, let alone the power limit; you cannot even predict the type of abilities they specialize in.

Some Rune Mages use runes to strengthen their physical bodies, transforming into close-combat mages, Mad Demons, suppressing warriors.

Some Rune Mages use runes to control elemental power, forming elemental tides, destroying the world.

Some Rune Mages have no combat power at all but are proficient in various defensive runes and teleportation runes, maximizing their escape abilities.

There are too many types of runes; a Rune Mage's ability completely depends on how many runes they have mastered, and the strength of their combat power depends on the strength of the runes they have mastered.

Therefore, the terrifying nature of Rune Mages is unpredictable.

Xu Weilai was clearly a genius Rune Mage.

They reached their destination.

Xu Weilai's residence.

It was the same cave, but the style was full of scholarly atmosphere.

The Mohe Clan was very thoughtful; the room style was chosen by oneself. Lin Ye didn't have a particularly preferred style, so he chose randomly.

And this Mr. Xu was clearly an elegant young master, who preferred a scholarly and refined environment.

“Xu Qian said you broke through to Fifth Order, and I happen to have something suitable for you here. She asked me to give it to you. Hmm, it's the gift your shameless master asked Xu Qian to ask me to give you,” Mr. Xu said.

He was a bit unhappy with Jiang Xiaoyu, after all, his sister fell in love with a scumbag, and no one would be in a good mood.

He often beat Jiang Xiaoyu because of his promiscuity, so Jiang Xiaoyu was quite afraid of him.

Lin Ye was expectant. The gift Fish Brother indirectly asked Mr. Xu to give him, its value was unimaginable.

Mr. Xu took out an irregular, walnut-sized stone from his luggage.

Lin Ye felt a strong attraction emanating from the stone.

“This is a specialty of the Star Realm, a marvel,” Mr. Xu explained.

“It's actually a marvel?” Lin Ye knew about marvels.

Marvels are naturally formed in the Star Realm, inherently imbued with runes.

Due to their uniqueness, they cannot be processed later or stored in space.

The abilities of marvels are diverse, entirely depending on the power of the naturally formed runes.

Mr. Xu handed the stone to Lin Ye, “This is a marvel I used before, ink separation, its ability is to accelerate Star Power cultivation speed.”

Excellent, it's actually an excellent marvel that increases cultivation speed.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

“Thank you, Mr. Xu.”

Mr. Xu waved his hand, “The cost of this marvel has already been paid for you by Prosperity. You don't need to thank me, thank Jiang Xiaoyu instead.”

He paused, then added, “This marvel cannot be stored in space; it needs to be worn for a long time to be effective, and it's not as abnormal as you imagine. It only provides a seventy percent bonus to Fifth Order, thirty percent to Sixth Order, and is ineffective above Seventh Order.”

Lin Ye felt like a pillow was delivered just when he was sleepy; he just wanted to level up quickly, and Fish Brother had already arranged it.

After chatting a few more words with Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu kept him for dinner, then took out a set of precise instruments to measure his body data.

“Mr. Xu, what is this?” Lin Ye was a bit confused, but still very cooperative.

Mr. Xu didn't look at him, measuring carefully, and replied, “This is your master's second gift to you. I will personally forge a set of gold-grade equipment for you. Oh, and leave the ink separation here for now; I'll make it into a piece of jewelry for you to wear.”

“Alright.” Lin Ye declared, My Fish Brother is the only true god.

How strong is equipment forged by a Rune Mage?

Most of the equipment flowing in from outside are standardized equipment, manufactured from equipment processing factories, and then runes are inscribed by mages.

The inscribed runes are not strong, after all, which master of runes would be willing to work on an assembly line?

The only advantage is that they are cheap.

Speaking of cheap, they are actually not cheap; a good bronze-grade armor costs over a million, and weapons cost hundreds of thousands.

A good silver-grade armor costs over ten million, and weapons over a million.

Gold-grade prices soar, costing over a hundred million, and weapons are also nearly a hundred million.

The above are all standardized, decent pieces of equipment.

However, equipment personally crafted by a Rune Mage, inscribed with their signature runes, has prices that increase exponentially.

Lin Ye had heard that, apparently, based on the number and quality of runes inscribed by a master of runes, gold-grade equipment is divided into five tiers.

What? Why are bronze and silver grades not tiered?

Do they deserve it?

How expensive is a master's appearance fee? How extravagant would it be to ask him to make such a thing?

So the value of this gift is immeasurable.

Fish Brother! Truly a benevolent teacher!
