I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Extremely Hard-to-Obtain Materials

Why’s he calling Lord Immortal King? This kid wouldn’t have forgotten, Gongshu De has an irreconcilable grudge against the Immortal King.

What he just said, it’s not just flattering the Immortal King, but also reeking of a surrender attempt. Thinking it over, Lin Yi surely wouldn’t do something so brainless. Mr. Gongsu finally figured it out.

Lin Yi hasn’t forgotten the hatred between Mr. Gongsu and the Immortal King, nor has he forgotten his stance. Saying such words, he’s purely making fun of himself.

"You cheeky brat, you’re making fun of me, aren’t you? While you’ve been away, I’ve handled so many Blue Star matters for you, surely that counts for something even if not a great deed, and you dare joke with me like this? Looks like I must spar with you, come on!"

Mr. Gongsu is well aware of Lin Yi’s combat prowess.

Now he fears even without relying on his two Martial Souls, he could evenly match him.

Those words were just for show, to satisfy the urge to banter.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Gongsu began inquiring about Lin Yi’s serious business.

The message Lin Yi conveyed was quite concise.

He only explained that he’s here to take Mr. Gongsu for an assignment related to the Immortal King, without specifying how he wants Mr. Gongsu to assist him.

"Kid, come on and tell me, after being away for so long, you finally contact me and only me, don’t even meet with your family, I assume you’re in a tight spot, following the Immortal King isn’t as comfy as it seems. So, tell me, how do you hope I’ll help?"

Lin Yi hadn’t considered asking for help when he initially sent the message.

Having Mr. Gongsu join him was purely to cope with his equipment enhancement situation.

"No choice, the Enhancement Level of Divine River Song is right there, an opportunity to massively boost combat prowess—he won’t let it slip by. For someone of his caliber, the paths to strengthen combat are scarce. A painless power boost without time and effort—do you think he’d refuse such a method?"

"I do want to keep quiet, letting you stay peacefully on Blue Star, but if I don’t speak out, I can’t remain in the Immortal King’s camp, you know."

Lin Yi’s helpless situation, Mr. Gongsu understands.

Venturing alone, the uncertainties are endless, especially with Lin Yi working under the Immortal King, living each day on edge.

Calling out to Mr. Gongsu is already the best option.

This way, he won’t drag Blue Star down with him.

"Fine, kid, you’re having a tough time. I’ll go along with you then. Helping that guy might bring its rewards, there’s gain, no loss, at least not embarrassing."

Seeing Mr. Gongsu willing to cooperate, Lin Yi snapped his fingers.

The Divine River Song from his portable space emerged again, forming a grand eagle, crouching before them.

"Let’s go, if that’s the case, don’t waste time. On the way, I recalled something, let’s hit the road, I’ll tell you along the way."

The gray-black eagle flapped its wings, carrying Lin Yi and Mr. Gongsu swiftly forward.

Along the way, Lin Yi brought up his idea.

"What on earth, kid, you give me too much credit, do you think I’m some genius?! The difficulty of making a One-time Enhancement Device surpasses that of crafting an item from +99 to +100—I can’t do that, you sort it out yourself."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s concept, Mr. Gongsu promptly refused.

He’s never considered such a challenging task.

During his many years with the Dark Rising Organization, he kept his skills hidden, stagnating in artistic progress for years.

Indeed, during Blue Star’s peak, he aspired to be the premier Enhancement Master, proving his abilities to his father and family elders.

But after so many years without exploring Enhancement Skills, how could he possibly achieve creating a One-time Enhancement Device?

Hearing this, Lin Yi cast a slightly skeptical gaze towards Mr. Gongsu.

"Isn’t that right?"

A mere five words swallowed the flood of refusals Mr. Gongsu had prepared.

Genius.

Since birth, Mr. Gongsu has often heard people praise him for being a genius.

Yet he never imagined hearing these words from Lin Yi could be so gratifying.

Having a genuine genius call him a genius, the exhilaration was indescribable.

"What did you say I am?"

"I said aren’t you a genius? The rhetorical implies affirmation, you get it, don’t you?"

The affirmative reply brought a satisfied expression to Mr. Gongsu’s face.

"Kid, say it again."

"Genius."

Thus, after several roundabouts, Mr. Gongsu’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

He consented to Lin Yi’s proposal and stated:

Enhancing equipment to +100, Mr. Gongsu lacks this ability.

From scratch, creating a One-time Enhancement Device, Mr. Gongsu lacks this ability too.

However, Mr. Gongsu can achieve one thing: by breaking down +100 equipment, he can use the materials obtained to craft a One-time Enhancement Device.

In other words, Lin Yi needs to acquire several pieces of +100 equipment to transfer that Enhancement Level to his gear using relatively intricate methods.

This notion certainly has a fresh perspective.

Listening to it, Lin Yi couldn’t help but find it enlightening.

But it poses a challenge.

Where would he acquire such a wide array of +100 equipment?

It’s been over tens of thousands of years since Blue Star’s downfall, and those high-level enhancements have long vanished, likely eroded away by time’s passage, gone into history.

This is when Mr. Gongsu’s confidence comes into play.

"Hehe, there’s still something you can’t do but I can, that feels pretty nice."

Mr. Gongsu smugly chuckled on the side.

Indeed, the era when high enhancement gear was commonplace has long passed.

But he remembers relatively well which Divine Beings Gongshu’s family made high enhancement items for, even +100 pieces.

Of which he knows, several Divine Beings still possess his family’s fully-enhanced gear, alive and well. Intimidating them could strip their gear away.

"Rest assured, Lin Yi, even if I forget, you have a familiar target you can reasonably hunt, remember? During that battle, that gal brought out +100 gear, it startled me back then."

"If you truly can’t find a target or it’s inconvenient to act, consider going after that gal. It’s also a viable option; Yinglong’s equipment, if I’m not mistaken, should be fully enhanced. Stripping her gear and disassembling it should transfer +100 enhancement to yours."
