Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Looking at the master craftsman Lu Ban before him, Lu Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

It was a middle-aged man's thirst for knowledge, his yearning for the unknown world. What reason did he have to refuse such eager eyes?

He reached out and placed his hand on Master Lu Ban's shoulder.

All of a sudden.

Two enormous and complex magic circles instantly formed beneath Lu Xuan and Master Lu Ban's feet, and a light that only Lu Xuan and Master Lu Ban could see shone forth, instantly creating a connection between the two of them.

This is the connection between Master and Servant.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully contracting the A-rank Heroic Spirit, Master Lu Ban]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the legacy of Master Lu Ban, your mechanical arts aptitude +300%]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained A-level Lu Ban Mechanical Technique]

A voice as beautiful as heavenly music resounded in the speaker's mind.

A flood of information from Sarah entered Lu Xuan's mind, including information about these mechanical techniques.

Lu Xuan was like a painter. Master Lu Ban had witnessed all the mechanical arts he had learned from childhood, the ancient books, and even the research and development he had done. All of these flashed through Lu Xuan's mind like a slideshow.

However, once you pick these things up, you can examine them closely.

A. Lu Ban's Mechanical Techniques!

The mechanical arts of the Gongshu family were on par with those of the Mo family.

Because it originated from Master Lu Ban, it was named after him, signifying the creation of a unique school of thought.

"As expected of an A-rank Heroic Spirit, this trip was worthwhile, as I was able to form a contract with Master Lu Ban."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

In the world of Kings, it would take an ordinary person several years or even decades to achieve anything significant in the art of mechanical manipulation.

Moreover, this subject becomes increasingly difficult as you progress, requiring a terrifying amount of classical texts, theoretical knowledge, and research experience.

But all of this was made possible by the contract with Master Lu Ban, which made everything happen in one fell swoop, allowing Lu Xuan to become a mechanical research and development expert.

Of course, the most important thing is that when he made a contract with Master Lu Ban, he directly gained 300% of his comprehension of mechanical arts.

Moreover, right now, Lu Ban is only an A-rank hero because of his current status. When Lu Xuan gives him more skins to upgrade him to S-rank...

Think of this.

Lu Xuan, even though he wasn't there, purchased another skin card in his system space.

He currently has a considerable amount of Glory Coins, so purchasing these cards is not a major financial burden for Lu Xuan.

What's more, this is a middle-aged man's dream.

However, Lu Xuan was not absolutely certain that he could directly upgrade Master Lu Ban's quality to a higher S-level!

Because Lu Ban Master currently doesn't have many skin cards, and the prices aren't too expensive, he can be considered a very cost-effective hero!

"then!"

Lu Xuan casually waved his hand, placing another exquisite silver card into Master Lu Ban's hand.

Now, Master Lu Ban has become one of Lu Xuan's followers, and the two naturally have a very high degree of tacit understanding.

Master Lu Ban accepted Lu Xuan's skin card without hesitation, and the moment he touched the card, he obtained relevant information about it. In an instant, its appearance changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The previous Ruins Nightmare Master Lu Ban has disappeared, replaced by a completely different appearance.

Skin Card: Ping Pong Master - Lu Ban Master!

Grade: Limited

Effect: Increases the quality and affinity of Servants after use.

Effect: Gain the talent [Ping Pong Rebound]

Effect: Gain the talent [High Energy]

Price: 888 Glory Coins

……

The Ping Pong Master and Lu Ban Master have changed drastically and are no longer dressed in the original Guixu Dream Performance costume.

She was adorned with more Chinese red decorations.

and.

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Lu Ban has used your limited-edition hero skin, Ping Pong Master. The hero's quality has been upgraded to AA grade!]

[Ding! The favorability rating of the Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban towards you has increased to 91.]

[Ding! The heroic spirit Lu Ban Master has gained a new talent [Ping Pong Rebound], an active skill. After activation, all active contact physical attacks that hit him can be reflected by 90%, and he will deal 30% damage. Activation consumes spirit power, and the duration depends on the amount of spirit power he has.]

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban has gained a new talent, [Vigorous Energy], with his energy now at 150% of his normal level.]

[Ding! Heroic Spirit quality improved. Your inherited comprehension has increased your current Mechanical Arts comprehension by 400%]

[For Servants with multiple skins, the inherent talents and traits of each skin will not be removed and will be retained. The left-movement trait requires automatic activation.]

……

A voice as beautiful as heavenly music resounded in Lu Xuan's mind.

Instantly, I felt a surge of cool energy flowing into my brain, and then I realized that my comprehension had been enhanced once again.

really!

very good!

The art of mechanical manipulation relies even more on comprehension and creativity, so improving comprehension is extremely important for Lu Xuan.

I never expected that Master Lu Ban himself would be so amazing!

The skin's effect is quite impressive; it even has a similar effect to a Thornmail, reflecting only contact physical damage, but it can reflect 90% of the damage while reducing the user's own damage by 30%. It's essentially a very powerful weapon.

Even the ping-pong master, Lu Ban, couldn't help but look at his new self with curiosity, feeling his body brimming with energy.

All the motor cells were activated!

perfect!

I have more energy than ever before!

As expected of a limited-edition skin, it possesses two completely different talent attributes.

This innate attribute of abundant energy allows Master Lu Ban to conduct research and development work for longer periods of time.

Become a true epic beast!

But this is what men truly like, especially a research fanatic like him.

However, Lu Xuan did not wait for the other party to stop, but instead took out more cards.

Skin Card: Master Lu Ban - Sea Exploration Log!

Grade: Limited!

Effect: Gain [Navigation Skill]

Effect: Gain [Storm Sense]

……

Master Lu Ban: The Enlightener Against the Light!

Grade: Special Limited Edition!

Effect: Gain [Tracing Light]

Effect: Gain [Enlightenment]

……

Lu Ban's appearance appeared before Lu Xuan, with magic circles appearing one after another, changing his appearance time and time again.

It later became known as Lu Ban, the master craftsman of nautical logs.

Then it transformed into the enlightened master Lu Ban, who concealed his light.

A series of system notifications rang in Jie Zong's mind.

[Ding! Your hero, Lu Ban, has received a skin card. The hero's quality has been upgraded; the current quality is AAA.]

[Ding! Your hero's affinity with you has increased to 99. Your hero has gained the special talents of Navigation and Storm Perception.]

[Ding! You have gained 500% more Mastery of Mechanical Arts]

……

[Ding! Your hero, Lu Ban, has received your special limited-edition skin card, "Reverse Light Enlightenment," which upgrades the hero's quality to S-tier!]

[Ding! Your hero has gained the special talents of Light Reflection and Enlightenment. Lin Yingxiong's favorability towards you has increased to 100.]

[Ding! You have gained 1000% Mechanical Arts Mastery from the Hero's Legacy!]

……

A series of voices rang in his mind, and then a large amount of information flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.

His aptitude for mechanical arts increased by a whopping 1000%, which is ten times higher!

and.

Lu Xuan was astonished by the series of talents displayed on Master Lu Ban.

[Navigation Skills]: Heroes with this talent will be able to navigate the high seas with great skill.

[Storm Sensing]: This is a special sea surface sensing ability that can detect impending storms and heavy rains, as well as changes in air pressure, from extremely far away.

【Tracing the Light】: This talent grants the holder an extremely strong memory ability, equivalent to time travel. Generally, one can view any information that has ever happened from a god's-eye view, including even those faded childhood memories that can be perfectly stored.

[Enlightenment]: This talent grants the recipient exceptional teaching abilities; all those who receive their instruction will gain the effect of enlightenment.

…………

have to say.

The effects of these skins for Master Lu Ban are quite good, and they all seem to be developing in the direction of professor and scholar level!

As the master of Lu Ban, this physical effect will naturally benefit you first. So, in ordinary days, you only need to have Lu Ban by your side to guide you, and you can continuously gain experience points related to academic research.

As for the ability to trace light, it is essentially a special software ability. Although it does not have actual combat power, this ability is priceless for a research-oriented scholar.

This means that Master Lu Ban could remember everything he came into contact with, not just what he saw, but also everything he experienced, which could be automatically stored in his mind and recalled at any time.

perfect!

As for talents like navigation and storm perception, they may not be useful for the time being, but who knows when they might come on the high seas.

Once on the high seas, Master Lu Ban will become his best navigator.

It has to be said that Lu Ban is definitely the top-tier support character, almost omnipotent in every aspect.

It's perfect!

“Mr. Lu Xuan! Thank you for your gifts. These gifts have allowed me to experience a completely different life. I never imagined that such wonderful things as skin cards existed in the world. You have introduced me to a whole new world.”

Master Lu Ban, the enlightened one, knelt on one knee before Lu Xuan from the bottom of his heart, performing the most sublime disciple's etiquette.

"Get up, Master Lu Ban, all of this is what you deserve!"

Lu Xuan helped him up.

Since that's the case, now's the time to return. Contracting an S-rank hero would be incredibly awesome.

[Ding! The aura of a fragment of the Heavenly Book has been detected. Do you wish to search for nearby Heavenly Book auras? Costs 10 gold coins per second]

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my mind.

Lu Xuan stopped in his tracks.

"A celestial book? You mean there's a celestial book somewhere around here?"

Yes, host, but you'll need to explore the exact location yourself.

"Alright, start!"

The situation didn't worsen; the system's search function was activated immediately, and instantly a special radar wave range appeared in Lu Xuan's mind. After this radar wave swept across, it could see if there was any Heavenly Book nearby.

"Mr. Lu Xuan? What brings you here?"

In the vision of Master Lu Ban, the enlightened one who was guided by the light, Lu Xuan was inexplicably pacing back and forth in the same spot.

"Master Lu Ban, bring your mechanical arm and follow me."

Lu Xuan didn't say anything. Now that Master Lu Ban had become his follower, there was no need for further explanation. There was absolute trust between the two.

Master Lu Ban, the enlightened one, naturally didn't ask any further questions. He followed closely behind Lu Xuan, carrying his mechanical arm.

"This direction! Start digging!"

The two went directly to a corner of the warehouse, where Lu Xuan checked the radar indicators provided by the system, which showed that the energy fluctuations in this area were the highest.

Master Lu Ban, without saying a word, immediately got the robotic arm to work.

Because various research projects are often conducted here, and because it is located in a corner of the technical school, few people come here. So even if the two of them are working hard here, they don't have to worry about being discovered by others.

The two of them started digging a hole on the spot, and without the organization telling them to stop, Master Lu Ban followed behind, digging all the way down.

The further they went, the more surprised Master Lu Ban became, because the two of them went down for almost a hundred meters without any reaction.

Strangely, there was no water flowing out from the surrounding area, as if there was no end in sight.

“Mr. Lu Xuan? If we go any further down, it might be too far. Although I have arranged for mechanical devices to backfill the area, it will still be quite troublesome for us to get out.”

Master Lu Ban, the enlightened one, couldn't help but offer a reminder.

He felt that the two of them had descended to a depth of over a thousand meters, which was quite astonishing and might even have led them directly to magma.

For ordinary people, and even for heroes of this world, this is a very high-risk endeavor.

However, to Lu Ban's surprise, even now he has not sensed any magma or other phenomena, and it seems... everything is going very smoothly.

"Follow me! In this direction!"

I felt there was no need for further explanation; instead, we should continue following the navigation provided by the map and let Master Lu Ban continue digging.

The two of them started digging directly underground, day and night.

It took almost half a month.

Looking back, they would find that the path they came from was almost like a twisted rope, making it impossible to find their way back. They didn't even know where they had dug to.

Fortunately, the backfilling work has already been done in the warehouse, so there's no need to worry about anyone else coming here.

at last.

when!

Lu Ban's mechanical arm seemed to have dug up something and stopped moving forward.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but show excitement on his face. After enduring so much hardship here, looking like a ghost, he could finally see the flashing dot clearly on the radar provided by the system, right in front of him.
