Chu Tian moved stealthily, evading waves of people descending the mountain. However, it seemed most had already used return stones to teleport back.
Only a few thousand people were coming down the mountain.
From here, he could see countless figures pouring out from the north and east city gates of Beihu Town in the distance.
They were searching systematically.
He didn't need to think; they were definitely trying to corner him.
They definitely wouldn't expect that he hadn't descended the mountain at all!
Chu Tian kept an eye on the out-of-combat timer. In a few more minutes, he could use his god-tier talent, [Teleportation].
During this time, he opened his backpack to check the items he had picked up, the very reason he had almost lost his life.
He had also consumed a high-tier instant recovery potion, costing seventy-five gold coins, and a barrel-like amount of rope launchers, fifty gold coins.
This time, he had spent a total of 370,000 cash.
Upon seeing the name of this item, Chu Tian's eyes gleamed with excitement.
It was worth it... it was this thing...
[Blessing of the Artisan's Emblem (Unique)]
All Life Skills, Level: +2 (Can increase to Grandmaster level.)
All Life Skills, Proficiency gain speed increased.
All Life Skills, Success rate increased by 20%.
All Life Skills, Efficiency increased by 50%.
Carried in the backpack, effective immediately.
When Chu Tian saw the name of this item, he became incredibly excited.
It was this item; he had only heard of it in legends.
In his previous life, someone had obtained the [Blessing of the Warrior's Emblem (Unique)].
At that time, people had speculated whether a life skill emblem also existed.
However, no one had obtained it, or if they had, they hadn't announced it.
Any single stat on this item was already incredibly powerful.
Increasing life skill levels was extremely difficult; it wasn't just about having enough proficiency points to level up.
After reaching the required proficiency, one still had to pass corresponding assessments to advance their level.
Putting aside the difficulty of promotion exams, even increasing a skill's proficiency was very arduous.
The higher the level, the lower the chance of increasing proficiency after successfully crafting an item.
You might not gain any proficiency at all when crafting low-level items.
Even four years later, before Chu Tian's rebirth, Grandmaster level life players in the entire Tiandao were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
There were only three Grandmaster level players in the entire world.
Now, with this item, if he gave it to "Moshi," he could directly upgrade from Intermediate Engineering to Master Engineering.
He would possess the ability to craft Master Engineering items, and his success rate for low-level items would greatly increase.
If he currently had a high-tier or master-tier blueprint, he could completely hand this item over to his subordinate.
Let him learn, and then list the crafted items in the shop, effectively clearing out items from the system store.
He could then monopolize the business to his heart's content.
Blueprints, recipes…
It seemed he would have to team up with Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the others for some tough battles.
The last time Chu Tian met with Qi Xi, he learned about the source of the recipes and blueprints she provided to [Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi].
It was a guild member who accidentally discovered a mysterious NPC in a hidden location.
It would refresh one Intermediate Engineering and Alchemy blueprint daily.
Qi Xi had already dispatched thirty rogues to guard that NPC.
Any player who approached was directly killed.
The member of Ni Shen Meng who discovered the NPC had been paid a hefty sum for their silence by Qi Xi, and an agreement was signed.
At that time, Chu Tian had praised Qi Xi profusely.
Her decision was brilliant.
Chu Tian knew many places where blueprints originated.
However, the places where high-tier blueprints were produced also had relatively higher-level monsters.
They were not places that players at his current level could explore.
But since he had obtained this item, he had to make good use of it.
A high-tier instant recovery potion in the system store cost 75 gold coins.
Chu Tian knew that if a pharmacist crafted it, the cost would not exceed 5 gold coins.
The system store was an extremely predatory entity.
This was also true for bullets and arrowheads sold in the system store.
Arrowheads sold for 1 copper coin in the system store could be crafted in ten barrels by an beginner engineer with 1 copper coin of materials.
Later, as materials depreciated, even more could be crafted.
Chu Tian looked at the [Blessing of the Warrior's Emblem (Unique)]. Although it had no grade,
in his heart, its value surpassed even the Wishing Casket, making it a god-tier item.
While the Wishing Casket was powerful, it had to remain hidden.
If others knew about its attributes, he might not even dare to leave the safe zone.
Guild leaders from all battle zones, even across the entire country, even the world, would bring their people to hunt him.
But the [Blessing of the Warrior's Emblem (Unique)] was different.
He couldn't even describe the wealth it could help him generate.
Life players who carried it wouldn't fear being killed without leaving the city.
Moreover, even if killed, this item wouldn't drop.
Even if you were red-named, the dropped items were limited to the equipment you were wearing; items in your backpack would not be dropped.
However, the Tiandao system wouldn't let players exploit loopholes.
Equipment couldn't be taken off during combat, otherwise, if you were losing, you could just take off your gear and fear nothing, right?
At this moment, Chu Tian's out-of-combat time had reached five minutes.
He activated [Teleportation (God-Tier)].
No casting required, no channeling, just select coordinates and teleport instantly.
It felt incredibly comfortable…
Returning to Beihu Town, it was much livelier than when he had left.
It was filled with people from various guilds.
Chu Tian didn't care; in the city, no one could do anything to him anyway.
He swaggered to the teleportation array, left the area, and returned to Heitu City.
He immediately found "Moshi," who was stationed there and hadn't left.
He used the system's contract system to grant him ownership of this item.
With the contract's restriction, no matter who he gave this item to,
it would return to his inventory whenever Chu Tian wished to reclaim it.
It wasn't that he didn't trust [Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi], but he feared that if he let someone else use it, it might be stolen.
When [Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi] received this item, his expression froze.
The next second, he almost jumped on Chu Tian and licked him.
Chu Tian found it so disgusting that he kicked him several meters away.
It was understandable that he was excited; his hidden profession had a 20% reduction in crafting success rate.
Now, with the [Blessing of the Warrior's Emblem (Unique)], he could finally craft items like a normal engineer.
Moreover, he also smelled immense wealth from this item.
Leaving the engineering shop, he headed to the SK Tavern.
It wasn't the agreed-upon time yet, so Chu Tian decided to go in and wait for [Qingcheng].
He was interested in cooperating with an all-rogue guild.
And the SK Tavern…
Chu Tian was too familiar with this place.
In his previous life, his first time with [Yi Yi] was in a private room here. Dafeng Novel Network.
Entering the tavern, Chu Tian, as usual, chose private room number 189 and informed the NPC at the entrance.
If someone named [Qingcheng] arrived later, they should tell her that he was waiting for her here.
NPCs are like this; because you don't hide your character name, they know what your name is.
So, leaving a message with the host NPC at the door, they would relay it directly.
With a mixed feeling, Chu Tian pushed open the door to private room 189.
Everything familiar appeared before his eyes.
Luoluo…
Are you doing well now?
