An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 24 Cultivating the Demon Eyes: An Astounding Class Difference

The thought made Chu Xiu narrow his eyes.

But he said nothing, and instead pretended to be nonchalant as he began the refining process.

Although for him, forging a new piece of equipment would take less than a minute, since perfect forging is an SSS-level talent, Chu Xiu still pretended to be working very hard.

An hour later, Chu Xiu pretended to look exhausted and handed the equipment over to Shen Zhuo and the others.

After checking the attributes, everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

"Chu Xiu, your talent is truly amazing! No wonder you, a support class, could solo a zombie!"

Shen Zhuo examined each item one by one and was surprised to find that every single one was of excellent quality!
Chu Xiu shrugged. His talent was perfectly refined to SSS level, so the effect was naturally amazing.

And this talent will only become stronger as time goes on.

"The goods are paid," Chu Xiu said, holding out his hand. "Where's my payment?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuo's smile vanished instantly, and he reluctantly initiated the transaction.

"Here, these are the 45 causal points that were promised."

Seeing the pained look on his face, Chu Xiu asked with some curiosity, "Your family is so rich, your parents must have prepared a lot of karma points for you, right?"

"No way, only three hundred, there's not much left now," Shen Zhuo said with a sullen expression. "My family is rich, but the loopholes in the country are not easy to exploit, so this is all I can get."

He then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I'm not very talented, but I've made them worry."

"If everyone has awakened a B-level profession, what's the point of being lacking? Then everyone else would just want to die of frustration," Chu Xiu laughed.

Shen Zhuo shook his head with a wry smile: "How could I have that ability? I bought this job, it cost me twelve million."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

He had indeed heard that some high-level creatures in the abyss had a chance to drop a class fire seed after they died, which could be swallowed to change their class, and there was also an evolution fire seed that could advance their original class.

I didn't expect to run into one so soon.

"No wonder his equipment and profession were so well-matched; it turns out he had prepared all this in advance," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Rich people are truly despicable!
Chu Xiu worked hard to level up, but others came with 300 karma points right from the start.

Although other professions may not level up as quickly as Chu Xiu, being a demonic cultivator, if all three hundred karma points are spent on leveling up, he can at least reach level 3 or even level 4.

This made Chu Xiu feel the class gap again after a long time.

I thought everyone was on the same starting line in the abyss, but I didn't expect some people to start with a Ferrari.

However, Chu Xiu actually developed a much better impression of Shen Zhuo.

Among the children of wealthy families, his personality is considered quite good.

Not only did he not bully others, but he was also willing to swallow his pride and negotiate a deal with Chu Xiu for the sake of the team, and even knew to bring a box of venison, which is truly commendable.

What's most commendable is that he has always maintained order. Even though he doesn't like Chu Xiu, he hasn't done anything out of line, not even targeting him behind his back. At most, he might say a few words occasionally.

"If only the world were full of people like this," Chu Xiu sighed.

Chu Xiu thought of a super second-generation student named Ye Junlin from his school. His parents were well-known high-level awakened individuals in Kyoto, which was much more impressive than the average child of a wealthy family. They were real figures of power.

He is very capable, ranking among the top three in his grade. He is chauffeured around in luxury cars worth millions every day. He looks at ordinary people as if they were livestock. School bullying is just a daily occurrence for him, a source of amusement. As long as it doesn't result in disability or death, most teachers turn a blind eye.

Once inside the abyss, who knows how much worse it will become!

If the two were switched, Ye Junlin would have forcibly conscripted everyone as cannon fodder to pave the way for him.

"Even Shen Zhuo has such good resources, Ye Junlin's starting capital must be over 100 million!"

"With such luxurious resources combined with his talent, I wonder what level he's at now?"

"And then there's Qingshan. Although he's very talented, his family background is just average. I hope he can get through the early stages."

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the random thoughts.

Now that he had the Karma Points, it was time to get down to business. He decisively spent 6 Karma Points on [Demonic Eye].

Instantly, Chu Xiu felt a faint coolness gather in his eyes. As spiritual energy flowed into his eyes, objects in his vision became clearer, and his night vision improved significantly!

When Chu Xiu shifted his gaze to Shen Zhuo, a faint yellow tinge appeared on the weaker parts of his body, while vital organs such as his heart were highlighted in red.

This is the [Weakness Mark] ability of the Ghost Eye.

In addition, it also has functions such as [Dynamic Vision Enhancement], [Night Vision], and [Observation].

However, the energy consumption is considerable, approximately 3.0 per minute. Even if Chu Xiu used all of his energy to support the Netherworld Eye, he could only sustain it for four or five minutes.

After a moment's thought, Chu Xiu turned his gaze to Shen Zhuo and activated the [Detect] function.

Soon, a panel popped up beside him, and its contents kept updating as Chu Xiu watched.

After about ten seconds, it gradually stabilized.

[Name] Shen Zhuo

[Rank] Mortal Rank 3 (278/600)

[Constitution] 8.57
[Mental State] 2.03
[Energy Level] 5.55
[Equipment] Gilded Greatsword (Collector's Edition), Life-Enchanted Leather Armor (Collector's Edition), Restoration Ring (Fine)

[Skills] Heavy slash, dash slash,? ? ?
[Occupation] Greatsword Master (B)

[Talent] Adrenaline Burst (C)

Shen Zhuo's attributes made Chu Xiu secretly gasp in astonishment.

As expected of a melee combat class, although he is only level 3, his constitution attribute is already higher than that of Chu Xiu, who is level 4.

"If we estimate the three initial stats at the average level, then on average, he can gain 2.5 points of physique, 0.34 points of spirit, and nearly 1.5 points of energy level per level."

Chu Xiu then compared his own: "My average improvement when I reached level 3 was 1.31 physique, 0.91 spirit, and 3.1 energy points per level."

"Our total attribute points will still surpass his, and because it's difficult to improve mental attributes, the gap will be even greater than it appears!"

Spirit is a difficult attribute to improve. For example, the A-rank class [Heavy Shield Knight], which is biased towards constitution, can gain 3 points of constitution per level, but the A-rank class [Elemental Mage] can only gain 1 point of spirit.

"Considering my overall attribute point bonuses, I should be slightly higher than an A-level," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

However, Chu Xiu had already made a rough estimate of these things before, and this was just a further confirmation. What really surprised him was Shen Zhuo's luxurious equipment!

Two are "collector's items" and one is "exquisite"!
Besides the leather armor and greatsword on the surface, he also hid a recovery ring!

"Damn it, my Bone Armor is only [Fine] quality! I guess I need to get it to +7 to become [Collectible]!"

"Even though I'm one level ahead of him, I'm really not confident I can win!"

"Furthermore, since the Demon Eyes can't see the contents of the storage space, this guy must have other life-saving items hidden on him!"

"These rich people deserve to die!"

Watching Shen Zhuo return to his room and chat and laugh with the others, Chu Xiu gritted his teeth.

However, although Shen Zhuo is very strong now, Chu Xiu does not regard him as a threat.

This wealthy young man was completely unprepared psychologically for facing the abyss.

He was immersed in the false sense of security that the group provided, enjoying the playful thrill of being a leader, and had no determination to do his utmost to improve himself at all costs.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu stopped thinking about it.

Having fully mastered this newly created secret technique, it was time for him to begin his plan.

Chu Xiu glanced out the window; a silver moon hung in the sky, radiating a pale white light.

It's perfect weather for hunting.
