As for the greatly reduced effect after the sixth rank, Lu Chenxing was not surprised.
Before the sixth rank, the more elements condensed and the purer they were during casting, the greater the power would be, but after the sixth rank, it was all about the comprehension of the power of rules, and the quantity and purity of elements would have very little impact on the spell.
However, this was already very impressive, and it was also an unranked weapon, making its preciousness even higher!
But since the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce could produce it, it meant that such a thing might not be a big deal to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Lu Chenxing's surprise was not over; the moment he put the gloves on his hands, he clearly felt that his perception of all surrounding elements became closer, including elements like space, time, and so on…
This made his eyes light up; although he wouldn't need these elements for a while, how could he not use them when his life was truly in danger?
“There’s another one, a world tree dewdrop from the Elven race, which can increase affinity for various elements, making it an excellent tonic for mages. Take it,” Yu Ziyue threw out another bombshell!
world tree dewdrop was also a rare item in the Elven world, used to lay the foundation for newborn pure-blood Elves. Those with impure blood were not qualified to use it, and even fewer circulated to the human world, all controlled by aristocratic families.
It could be said that Lu Chenxing had only heard of it but had never seen such a thing; it wasn't even available in the second-tier store opened by the military! The only thing available for exchange was the Elven Moon Reflection Spring.
“This… isn’t it a bit too valuable?” Lu Chenxing opened the second brocade box and couldn't help but say as he looked at the shimmering droplet inside.
Yu Ziyue smiled and said, “It’s fine, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has business dealings with the Elven race. Although world tree dewdrop is considered rare, it’s not that valuable. Just take it; consider it our investment in you.”
“After all, so many people are optimistic about you, so our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce naturally has to show sincerity if we want to build a good relationship.” As she spoke, Yu Ziyue’s eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the sword-shaped pendant on Lu Chenxing’s neck, and the smile on her face deepened a few shades.
Lu Chenxing couldn't tell whether Yu Ziyue was joking or serious, so he could only say with a wry smile, “I’m just a second-rank nobody…”
“Boss Lu, don’t belittle yourself. To be recognized by so many sixth-rank and even seventh-rank professionals already shows that you are not simple. Just take the item; don’t decline,” Yu Ziyue seemed to not want to be polite with him anymore and said directly.
Actually, Lu Chenxing wasn't being polite; he felt that although this item was valuable, it might not be of much help to him, as he didn't need “affinity,” only “domination.”
But since the words had been said to this extent, he could only accept it.
Seeing Lu Chenxing accept the gift, Yu Ziyue turned and waved to Guo Jiahao, who was not far away. Guo Jiahao's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly ran over.
“From now on, you will work and study at Boss Lu’s shop. You will be his shop assistant,” Yu Ziyue said with a smile, patting Guo Jiahao’s shoulder.
Hearing this, Guo Jiahao looked a bit dejected, “Ah~ just a shop assistant.”
Seeing Little Fatty look a bit dejected, Lu Chenxing smiled, “Although you’re just a shop assistant, I’ll teach you some unique cards, or if you want other cards with specific effects, I can also teach you how to make them. But correspondingly, as a shop assistant, you’ll need to learn how to sell and craft cards, alright?”
Hearing that he could learn unique cards, Little Fatty’s eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes! Of course! No problem, Boss, I will definitely study hard!”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yu Ziyue instructed Guo Jiahao, “Mom bought you a villa nearby. Someone will pick you up and drop you off for work. Remember to go home and cultivate well after work, understand?”
“Got it, Mom! Don’t worry!” Guo Jiahao was eager for his mom to leave quickly; he already wanted to start learning how to craft cards!
His emotions were easy to understand. Yu Ziyue could only smile helplessly and nodded to Lu Chenxing, “Then I’ll trouble Boss Lu from now on.”
A moment later, Yu Ziyue departed, accompanied by Wan Song, leaving only Lu Chenxing and Guo Jiahao standing at the shop entrance.
Facing Guo Jiahao’s expectant eyes, Lu Chenxing lightly coughed, “Let’s go, come in first, get familiar with your future work environment, and I can also see what your foundation is like.”
About an hour later, Lu Chenxing looked at the two cards, “Appraisal Art” and “Dispelling Technique,” neatly drawn by Guo Jiahao, and was quite surprised, “You can already craft cards now?”
“Yes! After I awakened, I hired a teacher at home to teach me. I’ve already learned all the basic stuff!” Guo Jiahao looked at Lu Chenxing expectantly, “Boss, when do we start learning your unique cards?”
This direct question made Lu Chenxing chuckle a bit, but he also understood that Guo Jiahao mostly came to learn the ultimate cards he had seen before. So, he directly flipped his hand, took out the original card for First-Rank Bombardment Art, and handed it over.
“This is the original card for First-Rank Bombardment Art. Since you’ve already learned the basic knowledge, that saves me from teaching it. Let’s start practicing directly!” Lu Chenxing said with a smile, feeling much more relaxed in his heart, because he wasn’t very good at teaching people, after all, he just copied his cards.
Guo Jiahao’s eyes gleamed, and with a devout expression, he took the original card of Bombardment Art with both hands. The flesh on his excited face trembled slightly. He had thought about this card day and night, and now he finally held its original card in his own hands! How could he not be excited!
But when he looked at the back of the card, his expression suddenly turned to astonishment. He saw over two hundred energy circuits on it, as well as a hideous black crack, densely covering the entire back of the card.
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing was about to say something to encourage Little Fatty, but just as he was about to speak, Guo Jiahao suddenly clenched the original card, and a determined light appeared in his eyes!
“Thank you, Boss! I will definitely learn how to craft cards well!”
“Uh… hmm, keep it up!”
After moving a dedicated spot for Guo Jiahao to craft cards, Lu Chenxing began to message Song Lijie, sending him a list of the things he needed.
A moment later, the other side only replied with one word, “Okay.”
Looking at the already dark sky, Lu Chenxing said to Guo Jiahao, who was diligently crafting cards, “Let’s call it a day. You can come again tomorrow. Ten in the morning is fine.”
“Ah? Can’t I stay here? I’ll work overtime voluntarily!” Guo Jiahao quickly said when he heard it was time to get off work.
“Work overtime my ass, it’s the same if you come tomorrow! Quickly call someone to pick you up!”
