All People: God-level Enchanter, the country takes me to level up

Chapter 28: Enchanting Seals and Enchanting Tools!

In Anyang City First High School, Zhao Xing stretched and walked out of the lab. Peering downstairs, officers were still on patrol. Compared to prior days, not only had the crowd increased, but their numbers had swelled.

“Director Fang, why are there more people on duty downstairs? Is there a possibility of a dungeon cropping up near our school?”

Fang Hong shook his head, “I’m not entirely sure. I’m not privy to military matters.”

The bigwigs from the Education Department departed yesterday. However, they didn’t leave entirely. They dispatched individuals to monitor Anyang City First High School directly.

Such a setup naturally fueled speculation. In response, the military and Education Department simply used the excuse of online speculation.

“There were suspicions of a new dungeon near the school,” and defensive measures needed reinforcement, and so forth.

This rationale wasn’t baseless. Presently, across the globe, new dungeons were still appearing randomly. A solitary space rift served as the entrance to these dungeons. However, the rate of spawn has dwindled in recent years. There were no more low-level dungeons. It wasn’t like a few decades ago when there was almost an explosion of refreshes, causing a significant disaster for humanity.

Fang Hong hesitated, “Should I inquire with the officers on duty?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zhao Xing noticed the hesitation and waved his hand, “No need, I won’t trouble you. I’ll casually inquire.”

In reality, Zhao Xing could infer some of it. Having signed a contract with the military, he should have received additional manpower to safeguard the equipment delivery. Indeed, with the completion of the initial real-world testing of the Ashes of Soul.

The military had ramped up its protection.

After Gao Feng and Wang Long submitted their summary report, the level of secrecy underwent multiple adjustments. By now, those who were already in the loop couldn’t access subsequent test files.

“Director Fang, I’ve already packed up a batch of equipment in the lab.”

“Please inform the Chu Long Army to collect it.”

Zhao Xing had enchanted a batch of 50 pieces of purple equipment.

Per the order, this first batch comprised entirely of weapons. This was because weapon bonuses were much more direct than those of defensive items.

Wang Long would have preferred a complete set of defensive items and weapons. However, time was too tight, and special recruitment work began in less than a month. So, he could only prioritize weapons with clear bonuses.

“No problem, leave it to me.”

Fang Hong hurriedly went to handle it.

Casually strolling down the underground passage, Zhao Xing emerged from an exit unseen by anyone. He still relished the perks of free lead training.

Guan Ya was still the one guiding him. Originally, the military had proposed pairing him with a more robust main battle professional squad. However, both Zhao Xing and Zhang Haiqiang rejected this request.

Firstly, it was the Education Department’s affair. How could Wang Long steal the credit?

The Education Department could handle it, and Chu Long Army didn’t need to worry.

Zhao Xing’s reason for declining was straightforward. First, it drew too much attention, and second, he had to consider the school’s reputation. Elevating him was a credit. It didn’t matter who did it, so why not entrust it to someone familiar?

In any case, Guan Ya, a level 24, was more than sufficient for him, a level 15 Enchanter, at the moment.

“Sister Ya, you’re putting in hard work again.”

Guan Ya appeared to have changed her equipment once more today. Her purple garments and flowing staff highlighted a remarkably vibrant and colorful appearance. When she smiled, it seemed as if the entire office lit up.

“No, speaking of which, I should be thanking you. The school has equipped me with another set.”

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even get to experience this.”

“The Flowing Light set suits a water mage like me more than the Heavenly Armor set.”

Purple Equipment was soul-bound, and there was no way to trade it to someone else. Of course, the binding strength of purple equipment wasn’t as potent as the soul binding of king-grade equipment.

Using specific items, it was possible to re-bind it. However, the benefits didn’t outweigh the costs, so receiving purple equipment for free was a boon for Guan Ya.

“Let’s not stand on ceremony. Let’s go.”

“Sure.”

…

Level 20 dungeon, Silver Moon Cat Demon. The time was approaching evening, and at this point, Zhao Xing’s level was already at 96% of level 16.

He almost gained two levels. As the entrant’s level gradually aligned with the dungeon’s level, the experience gained increased significantly. Additionally, Zhao Xing had acquired some purple equipment to do.

In his hand was a level 15 purple auto-pistol. Enchanted by Permanent, it lacked special effects but boasted attributes on par with a level 30 purple weapon. In other words, Zhao Xing himself could deliver a decent output.

Of course, lacking main battle skill bonuses, the hit rate was relatively low, necessitating collaboration with Guan Ya to maintain control.

To prevent Zhao Xing from becoming disinterested, Guan Ya willingly cooperated. However, after ten minutes, Zhao Xing gave up. It was, in fact, impeding Guan Ya’s leveling speed.

“I’d better take it easy.”

“Wait until I can learn some effective skills.”

“The branches of occupational knowledge are extensive. I could explore some cold occupational branches and acquire useful skills.

“Lying flat and leveling up is not engaging. It’s so dull.”

Zhao Xing pondered silently.

Who wouldn’t want to showcase their prowess?

Lying flat was comfortable, but doing so all the time was also monotonous. Zhao Xing felt he needed to acquire some practical skills.

His principle was: “I can be unimportant, but I can’t be useless.”

When he reached level 17, today’s dungeon practice concluded. Upon returning, Zhao Xing immersed himself in the sea of knowledge. Indeed, Enchanters possessed practical skills.

For instance, at level 20, the main profession unlocked a skill called [Enchantment Seal].

The prerequisite knowledge was Elementary Energetics and Elementary Equipment Analysis.

The effect was to seal the enchantment effects of all equipment within a certain range. This skill could be activated at will. Low-level dungeons weren’t very useful due to the typically unenchanted equipment of low-level monsters, who generally lacked civilization and knowledge of enchantment.

The weapons themselves lacked enchantment, but higher-level dungeons might prove useful. However, to enhance the power of main professional skills, one needed to delve into the knowledge of branch professions. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness remained weak.

Zhao Xing navigated the sea of knowledge within the enchantment profession’s many branches. He stumbled upon a vast and profound discipline: Possessed Magic Tool Study. Mastering this branch would enable him to create an Enchanter’s Exclusive Device—the [Transmitter Jamming]. This device greatly enhanced the effect of the main profession skill [Possessed Seal] and offered various practical tools exclusive to Possessors.

However, the Enchanter’s role was primarily supportive, and few delved into studying Enchanting Tools. It consumed considerable time and energy and required accumulating enough attribute points. Picking up the shining book, Zhao Xing received a prompt: [You are unable to learn; this branch of the profession needs to be unlocked at level 20.]

“Level 20 isn’t too far off. I wonder if I have enough basic attribute points,” mused Zhao Xing. The prerequisites hinted at the knowledge of elementary energy construction, elementary equipment parsing, energy transfer, primary material fusion, and primary material transformation—a demanding set of requirements.

The crafting process also consumed a substantial amount of materials. Most Enchanters might not explore this branch until reaching level 30. However, Zhao Xing’s keen interest and his 100% success rate with his talent made it enticing. Combined with Enchanting Tools, it might yield unexpected effects.

Turning to the skill [Enchantment Seal], it might not be appealing as an auxiliary. Yet, when combined with the exclusive equipment [Transmitter Jamming], the prospect of amplifying the effect several times seemed intriguing.

“When the conditions are met, I must try it out,” determined Zhao Xing.

Setting aside the knowledge, he proceeded to the lab and began crafting the day’s order.

…

Days passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, 10 days had elapsed. The topic of the Transcendent Academy’s special recruitment gradually gained traction among the major factions in Anyang City.
