While the two sisters were out having fun, Du You organized his belongings. He sorted out items he no longer needed and set them aside for soone to collect later.
Now that he had his own company, Du You no longer needed to sell his wares in the market.
Du You had also realized that finding truly valuable items in the market was nearly impossible. The real treasures rarely surfaced there; most were internally consud or traded between major organizations. Now, his company and the academy had established a similar chanism.
The investnt decision made last ti had been almost entirely implented; his company was now supporting two newly established territories. They held a thirty percent and forty percent share in the new territories, respectively.
This was quite similar to the joint-stock companies familiar to ordinary people, except the business focus was different.
In the evening, when the sisters returned, Du You took out the new skills he had acquired. "Yu Shi, co here quickly, this is your skill, see what you think. I’ve already integrated mine."
That afternoon, Du You had successfully rged his skill in the basent.
Magic Marking: Uses spiritual power to impose a magic mark on the target, automatically adjusting the trajectory of released magic, thereby increasing the precision of hitting the target. Once the target is hit, the magic’s power is at least unleashed by 20%. (Level 46, 10 stars)
"I really don’t see the use of such a skill. Isn’t it just wasting a skill slot?" Lin Yushi pouted.
"How is it a waste? This Magic Marking combined with my Magic Tunnel ans no one can escape my magic attacks in the future. Even those skilled in speed or even spatial abilities won’t manage."
This skill Du You had was mainly to target Professionals who could dodge his attacks. As long as he could hit the opponent, his magic’s power would definitely leave them with more than they could handle.
Applying the Magic Marking using spiritual power, Du You found that it didn’t actually involve casting any skill; it was more like a semi-passive skill. As long as he locked onto a target spiritually, the skill would automatically activate without any consumption. However, his magic would automatically seek out the target, even sharply turning corners.
This was very similar to the Phantom Lock skill recently developed by Lin Yucha, and even featured greater trajectory modifications. Not due to any issue with the skill, but because of the broad effect range inherent in magic itself.
As for the effect where the hit target receives at least twenty percent power, Du You was currently baffled.
Because didn’t magic unleash its full power once it hit a target?
Perhaps it was designed for so special defenses or abilities that ignored magic, Du You could only guess. Since he had never encountered such a situation, overthinking it was redundant.
"Okay, I’ll give it a try too," said Lin Yushi, picking up her skill and beginning to enhance it.
With a large influx of Crystal Coins, crafting a new skill was easy and didn’t take long. Seeing the new skill, Du You knew that Lin Yushi’s shortcomings had finally been addressed.
For a long ti, Lin Yushi’s attacks paled compared to Lin Yucha’s; her improvents had always been focused on wide-area assaults. When facing a formidable enemy alone, her performance seed sowhat underwhelming.
This was exactly the developnt path Du You had set for the two of them—one focusing on area attacks, bolstering combat, the other on assassination and stealth. But progressing to this point, leaving those shortcomings untended was not appropriate. A true powerhouse didn’t have obvious weaknesses, at least that was what Du You believed.
Being a bit obsessed, he always sought to redy any shortcomings he identified.
This ti was no exception. With the locking skills in place, not even the greatest evasion abilities would allow their enemies to dodge their attacks.
Particularly with this skill, which also included Armor Piercing, there was a significant enhancent to Lin Yushi’s damage output. Now even in a one-on-one fight, Lin Yushi wouldn’t lag far behind others.
Armor Piercing Lock: An Archer’s passive skill, lock onto a target point, significantly increasing the Archer’s hit accuracy, dramatically adjusting the flight path of arrows. When attacking the sa target, each attack reduces that point’s defense, greatly augnting the Armor Piercing effect. (Level 46, 9 stars)
"It’s really good, a valuable skill indeed. Enhancing Armor Piercing, weakening defense on targeted hits, now Yu Shi can also take down strong enemies, no longer needing to worry about penetrating high defenses."
During the last battle, both Du You and Lin Yucha could instantly kill their enemies, but Lin Yushi’s attacks were insufficient against those Disaster Conchs, which frustrated her greatly. If she had had this skill then, combined with her rapid-fire capabilities, she could have obliterated her opponents in an extrely short ti.
After crafting the skill, Lin Yushi no longer felt frustrated. The skill was a perfect fit for her. Overjoyed, she gave Du You a kiss on the cheek, igniting the fire within him.
Until the next day, the sisters lay in Du You’s arms, limp and tender.
"Master, have you thought about where we’re going next?" Lin Yucha whispered. Her younger sister was still asleep, her face showing evident exhaustion.
Du You smiled, "I’ve thought about it. A few days ago when I was organizing things, I found an old quest we never completed. It’s the perfect ti to finish it."
Du You opened the panel and took out an item for Lin Yucha to see.
Snow Wolf Fang: World coordinates, leads to the Crystal Icefield. (2/2)
"Isn’t that the world where Xi Qianxue was trapped, the one we went to rescue? Right, we got a quest back then to head north, sothing left behind by the Snow Emperor."
"That’s right, the Snow Emperor said we shouldn’t attempt it before reaching tier five. Now that we are almost invincible within tier five, I believe no native can really threaten us. It’s about ti we complete this task, to see what good things he has left for us."
Lin Yucha nodded lightly; the danger wasn’t significant since that world only allowed up to tier five beings, and the presence of tier six beings was almost non-existent. It was now just a matter of tying up loose ends. For their Master, who was quite obsessive, it was no surprise he’d want to finish this job. With an ample supply of Crystal Coins and no urgent need for equipnt, it was a good opportunity for an excursion.
With these thoughts, an exhausted Lin Yucha gradually drifted into sleep.
