Chapter 12: Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman Ou Yezi

The next day.

Zhou Huai abruptly sat up from the bed.

A strong sense of palpitation instantly woke him up.

[System Prompt: Your Clone 'Thunder Swordsman Yasuo' has died.]

[Resurrection Countdown: 18 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds.]

"Dead?"

Zhou Huai knitted his brows.

The final scenes before Yasuo's death flooded into his mind like a tide.

Clearing the Trial Tower…

Encountering a siege by men in suits…

The attention of several old principals…

And finally, that man named Chu He..

"Hiss!"

Zhou Huai couldn't help drawing a sharp breath.

Seeing the other party in the morning, he originally thought he was just an interesting teacher.

Now it seemed the other party had a profound background.

Tianhai City was crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

He had only just shown a bit of his edge, and it had already attracted an expert of this Rank.

In the future, he must act more cautiously.

However, the performance of the AI intelligence equipped on Yasuo truly gave him a shock.

Facing an unbeatable formidable enemy, it actually chose suicide to prevent being captured!

"Decisive enough, ruthless enough!"

The corners of Zhou Huai's mouth hooked into an arc.

He could imagine that Chu He's expression at that time must have been very interesting.

"Want to research my Clone? No way!"

Although Yasuo could not be summoned temporarily, Zhou Huai didn't feel too much frustration in his heart.

Because at this moment, the System transmitted a prompt:

[System Prompt: The quest 'Clear the Trial Tower and win first place in this challenge' has been completed!]

[Quest Reward: Professional Orb extraction chance X1, has been distributed!]

"Completed!"

Brilliant light burst from Zhou Huai's eyes.

Although Yasuo died, he successfully cleared the Trial Tower before death and secured first place!

This meant…

He could extract the Profession for his second Clone!

"System! I want to extract the Profession for the second Clone!"

Zhou Huai shouted impatiently in his heart.

He closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into his mind.

That huge and familiar gachapon machine surfaced again.

Colorful Professional Orbs slowly rotated inside, exuding an alluring glow.

In front of the gachapon machine, the sole extraction button was flickering with a slight light.

Zhou Huai took a deep breath.

His first Clone drew the S-Rank Thunder Sword Master.

This second time, the guaranteed minimum should also be S-Rank, right?

Holding a trace of excitement and anticipation, his will abruptly pressed the [Extraction] button!

"Hum——!"

The huge rotary machine began to spin crazily!

Countless Professional Orbs transformed into streaks of light, dazzling one's eyes.

The light grew brighter and brighter, almost filling the entire conscious space.

Ten seconds later.

The rotation suddenly stopped!

"Swoosh!"

An unusual orb of light shot out from the rotary machine!

Zhou Huai's pupils suddenly shrank!

"Purple?!"

That orb of light entirely presented a deep and mysterious purple!

Completely different from Yasuo's brilliant golden orb of light before!

"Gold is S-Rank, then purple… Could it be a higher-Rank Profession?!"

Zhou Huai's heart beat wildly.

Could it be SS-Rank?!

Or the legendary SSS-Rank?!

His breathing became somewhat heavy.

The purple orb of light slowly drifted down, suspending in front of Zhou Huai.

The light exploded!

Transforming into a purple scroll that was more ancient and more profound than the previous Thunder Sword Master scroll!

On the scroll, intricate runes flowed, exuding an unspeakably powerful aura.

[Congratulations to the Host for extracting the sole hidden lifestyle Profession—]

[SS-Rank Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman!]

Zhou Huai's heart beat wildly, and his breathing became a bit hurried.

Lifestyle Profession?

Forging Master?!

In this world, Professionals' equipment, aside from dropping by killing monsters,

had to rely on Forging Masters smashing hard with Materials!

Products from Forging Masters often had much more awesome attributes!

Therefore, Forging Masters were always the most popular Profession, no exceptions!

They never worried about having no work; the speed of making money was comparable to a money printer!

In the original owner's memory, Tianhai City produced a Forging Master last year.

An epic-grade long saber was directly auctioned off at a sky-high price of over one million!

Legendary-grade equipment? That started at tens of millions, priceless and marketless!

Masters who could forge legendary-grade equipment, Great Xia Country currently didn't have a single one!

Neighboring Sakura Country did have one, who was hyped up as the "Father of the Country"!

As the thought just fell, the attribute panel of the Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman had already emerged.

[Clone Panel (Unnamed)]

[Profession: Sole hidden Profession, SS-Rank Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman]

[Rank: LV1]

[Health Points: 120 / 120]

[Mana Points: 150 / 150]

[Strength: 12]

[Agility: 10]

[Stamina: 15]

[Mental Energy: 18]

[Skill List:]

[Passive Skill: Forging Master (LV1) – When forging equipment, Material consumption is reduced by 30%, and forging time is shortened by 30%.]

[Active Skill: Divine Craftsman Enlightenment (LV1) – Can designate a piece of equipment to enhance its quality Rank by one, up to rare-grade at most. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Zhou Huai stared at that active skill, his eyeballs almost popping out.

"Directly enhancing quality?!"

"F*ck! Perverted!"

A fine-grade piece of equipment, enlightened once, directly turns rare!

Now the upper limit is rare, what about when the Rank is higher? What about when skill proficiency goes up?

Rare enlightened to epic? Epic turns to legendary?!

By then, give each of his Clones a set of legendary-grade divine equipment!

That picture was too beautiful, simply too much to dare imagine!

[System Prompt: Please name your SS-Rank Clone.]

Zhou Huai came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth curving up wildly.

"Since it's a Forging Master, the name must be resounding!"

Inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Let's call him… Ou Yezi!"

In his previous life, he was the legendary craftsman who forged divine weapons like Longyuan, Tai'e, and Zhanlu!

He hoped this Clone could also become the forging myth of this world!

[System Prompt: Naming successful! Clone 'Ou Yezi' created.]

[System Prompt: Please shape the appearance for Clone 'Ou Yezi'.]

This time, Zhou Huai learned to be smart.

Yasuo's uncle-like face was treated as a parent everywhere he went, which was too troublesome.

He molded Ou Yezi's face to look young and handsome, in his early twenties.

With neat black short hair, his gaze was focused and deep, carrying a bit of a craftsman's steadiness.

Unlike Yasuo's flamboyant and unrestrained demeanor, he instead exuded an introverted edge.

"Mm, not bad, low-key, luxurious, and meaningful!" Zhou Huai nodded with satisfaction.

[System Prompt: Appearance shaping for Clone 'Ou Yezi' successful!]

[System Prompt: Clone generating, please wait…]

Waiting time always seemed slightly long.

About two hours later.

[System Prompt: SS-Rank Clone 'Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman · Ou Yezi' has been generated!]

As soon as the voice fell!

A flash of white light appeared in front of Zhou Huai!

A tall and upright figure appeared out of thin air.

The youth was dressed in simple grey cloth garments, with a handsome face and a calm gaze.

It was precisely the freshly baked SS-Rank Clone — Ou Yezi!
