Wrong, my props refresh every day

Hephaestus reached out his hand, took the letter of recommendation handed over by Xingjian, glanced at the contents above, and then said:

"Young man, from now on, you are a member of Hephaestus's family."

"Just...that simple?"

Xingjian's eyes widened, surprise written all over his face.

"Of course." Hephaestus raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "I still owe Mia a few barrels of fine cider. Haha, just kidding. Mainly because Mia mentioned in the letter that you seem to have very good abilities. I am very much looking forward to it. Come here, take off your clothes first, I will grant you the grace of the gods."

Xingjian knew very well that the power of grace bestowed by God had to be branded on the back. Without any hesitation, he quickly took off his coat and underwear, revealing his smooth back.

Hephaestus looked focused as he reached out to take out a thin needle and gently pierced his fingertip.

In a flash, a drop of brightly colored blood oozed out.

Hephaestus used his bloody fingertips to carefully move slowly across Hoshimi's smooth back.

In this chaotic world, most gods would design the patterns of their clan's imprints based on their own divine duties.

For example, the pattern designed by the goddess of beauty Freya is a stunningly beautiful woman, showing her charm and beauty. As the "Goddess of the Hearth", Hestia's family mark is a sacred fire lighthouse emitting warm light, which symbolizes protection and hope.

As the legendary god of forging, the family patterns drawn by Hephaestus are naturally a fusion of forging hammers and blazing flames, full of power and fiery breath.

After the grace pattern was firmly imprinted on Xingjian's back, rows of divine words emitting faint light slowly emerged in a moment.

Hephaestus looked closely and was stunned when he saw Xingjian's detailed information.

Observer Effect

"One magic spell, and three skills? Even one of the skills, at the moment, only the name is deciphered, and the specific effect is completely unknown. This is simply unheard of!"

Hephaestus's face was full of shock, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

You know, this power of grace is a precious gift generously bestowed by the gods to the residents of the underworld.

The gods use their own blood as a medium to engrave "sacred words" on the backs of their clan members, which can convert individual combat experience, daily training results, etc. into intuitive and visible specific values.

Such as strength, durability, dexterity, agility, magic, etc., and these values ​​will gradually increase with each adventure.

通常情况下，能力值从低到高分为I、H、G……B、A、S十个等级，每个等级对应的能力数值范围也各有不同，分别是0－99、100－199、200－299……900－999。

When any race first obtains the power of God's grace, no matter how strong it was before, all levels and ability values ​​will only be LV1 and 0.

Moreover, when the ability value accumulates to a certain level, it is necessary to complete "great deeds", such as successfully defeating a powerful enemy or successfully completing a major challenge, in order to break through the existing level limit.

For example, a Lv.1 adventurer who defeats a Lv.2 monster has a chance to be promoted to Lv.2.

In addition to fixed ability value settings, favors may also activate skills or magic unique to an individual, and these special abilities often reflect the personality traits or past experiences of the holder.

Generally speaking, most races that have just received God's favor, if their potential is mediocre and low, will most likely not be able to obtain the blessing of magic and skills.

If the potential is decent, perhaps one will be able to possess magic and skills from the beginning.

However, a young man like the one in front of him named Hoshimi, who had just obtained the power of grace, already possessed a magic and three skills at the same time.

This situation is so special and extremely rare!

Chapter 9 "Mortals forge their tools, gods forge their destiny!"

In Hephaestus's room, the fire was still burning, and sparks flew out from time to time, drawing short and bright tracks in the air.

Xingjian stood in place, his back, which had just been branded with the pattern of grace, still feeling slightly hot.

"My Lord God, may I know the power of the grace I have displayed?"

Hephaestus gradually recovered from the shock he had felt when he first saw Xingjian's special abilities. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his single eye, and then the corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a faint smile.

“Of course you can.

After he finished speaking, Hephaestus walked steadily to the table, reached out and took out a piece of fine parchment and a quill dipped in ink.

The tip of the pen rubbed against the paper, making a rustling sound. Soon, a paragraph of text was written.

Then she gently folded the parchment and handed it to Xingjian.

Xingjian took it with both hands, his eyes eagerly scanning the contents of the paper, and finally had a rough outline of his own abilities in his mind.

"Xingjian, do you know how special the power you carry is?"

Hephaestus suddenly said.

"God, please explain clearly."

Hoshimi responded.

Hephaestus suddenly raised his arm, stirring up a gust of wind that whistled past, causing the blazing hearth to tremble and flicker. "Throughout my countless years, I've witnessed countless creatures receive divine grace and power. However, to possess a spell and three skills upon your first baptism of grace is a rare sight, one in a million."

As he spoke, the God of Forge suddenly leaned forward, his nose almost touching Hoshimi's trembling eyelashes. "The last time I saw this kind of monstrous configuration was when Finn came to me naked and begged me to forge his first gun."

"God!" Tsubaki's voice suddenly came through the crack in the door, "You are talking about the hero's dark history again!"

Hephaestus ignored Chun and pointed at Xingjian's back. At this time, the light from the brand had disappeared, leaving only a faint trace.

She slid her fingers gently along the lines and began to analyze them in detail:

"And your magic is quite peculiar. Not to mention the confusing spell names, just the chanting itself..."

Hephaestus frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. "With the bronze bell as a pact, the gate to the fourth dimension opens! The echoes of the 22nd century converge in my palm!" Even though I am a god, I cannot comprehend the meaning of this.

However, as a time traveler, Xingjian had already understood it after seeing this chant.

The bronze bell symbolizes the blue fat man's bell. The four-dimensional gate refers to his dimensional pocket setting, and the props that appear are all products of the 22nd century, so there is the last sentence.

Just as Hoshimi was pondering, Hephaestus spoke again, "However, compared to the spell name and chant, the key is the magic effect. Can you randomly draw a magical item every day? Could this magical item be similar to the one made by the bespectacled girl in the Hermes family?"

Yasfi al Andromeda. This leader of the Hermes Familia had actually reached Adventurer Level 4, but, at Hermes's behest, she claimed to be only Level 2.

She was originally the princess of the Sea Kingdom, and was "kidnapped" by Hermes using unique means. From then on, she had a life of hard work, often cleaning up the aftermath of Hermes's strange ideas and absurd behaviors. The dark circles under her eyes were her trademark.

Asfi possesses the rare [Development Ability] - [Mystery], which allows her to create magical items. With this ability, she has created many amazing magical items, such as the "Hades Helmet" that allows the user to disappear into a transparent state, and the "Talaria Flying Boots" that assist in flight.

These props occupy half of the Dicuo props.

The other half belongs to the "Great Sage" Fels.

As a member of the guild, the Great Sage was once Uranus's personal mercenary at the beginning of the advent of the gods. In the past, he developed the ability [Mystery] to the extreme and successfully refined the mysterious [Philosopher's Stone], which made him famous.

The props made by the two have extraordinary magical effects. Take the invisibility cloak for example, it has the same effect as the [Invisibility Cloak] in Doraemon.

Hephaestus' voice brought Hoshimi out of his thoughts. "Besides magic, your skills are also not to be underestimated. Not only can you steadily increase your daily magic power, but you can also turn the tide in desperate situations. You even have a mysterious skill that even I can't decipher."

"That unknown skill, even you don't know, Lord God?" Xingjian couldn't help but ask.

The first two skills are to assist his magic.

The improvement of his daily magic power will help him to quickly accumulate mental strength in the future and control these magical props from the 22nd century.

The increase in luck in adversity ensures that when crises are imminent, he has a greater chance of finding the key items to deal with the difficulties.

As for the third skill [Observer Effect], Xingjian was also confused.

Hephaestus slowly shook his head, a helpless smile appearing on his face:

"This world is filled with mysteries and mysteries, and the power of the world is intertwined. Even gods wouldn't dare to speak of the wonders of the lower realms. But I dare to assert that this skill must hide unknown potential. Perhaps in the most critical moment, it will become your most solid support, helping you escape from trouble."

Xingjian stared at the words "Observer Effect" on the paper and smiled bitterly:

"But... I don't even understand the specific effect of this skill..."

"good question!"

Hephaestus suddenly grabbed Hoshimi's wrist and pressed it against the anvil, running the red-hot chisel over her skin. "How about we do an experiment? If cutting off her left hand triggers this skill, it proves it's a super-regeneration ability!"

“Please don’t!!”

Hephaestus smiled slightly, and stopped teasing the newcomer. With a serious expression, he continued, "Xingjian, have you ever heard the saying, 'Mortals forge their tools, gods forge their destinies—'?"

Xingjian was confused and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Hephaestus walked to the forge, picked up an unfinished dagger, and gently stroked the sword with his fingers, feeling the rough texture on it.

"In the mortal world, blacksmiths, with their craftsmanship and perseverance, hammer after hammer, forge fine weapons and sturdy armor. These tools can help adventurers overcome obstacles in battle and change the outcome of a battle. Just like this dagger in my hand, if it is well-forged, it can easily cut through the enemy's defenses and deliver a fatal blow."

Hephaestus put down his dagger and turned to face Xingjian with a scorching gaze:

"However, what the gods do is grant people grace. This grace is a burning fire that ignites hope in the hearts of mortals and rewrites the trajectory of their lives."

"With these special abilities you've gained today, the gears of fate have begun to turn. It will lead you onto a completely different path, a path filled with challenges and miracles. Every time you grow, every time you use these abilities, you may change your own destiny and the destiny of those around you."

"You are no longer that ordinary boy, but a person chosen by the gods and the world, shouldering infinite possibilities!!"

Blessed by the gods and the world, a person with infinite possibilities...

Xingjian's heart couldn't help but ripple. Could it be that this meant that he would have a great epic mission like the legendary heroes in the heroic adventure story?

"Okay, that's enough for today, young man."

Hephaestus smiled broadly, "I look forward to your future performance."

After he finished speaking, Hephaestus called out to Chun who was waiting outside the door.

After a while, light footsteps were heard, the door was gently pushed open, and Chun walked in quickly.

She first looked at Hephaestus respectfully, then her gaze fell on Xingjian. She said softly, "My Lord God, are you all done with your work? Then I will take Xingjian to choose some basic weapons and armor. After all, he will embark on adventures in the future, and he can't go into battle empty-handed."

Hephaestus nodded slightly, his expression concerned. "Go ahead and help him choose. This kid has great potential, so we can't be careless with his equipment."

"Extraordinary potential?" Upon hearing this, Chun couldn't help but glance at Xingjian, her heart filled with curiosity. She softly replied, "Okay."

Watching the receding figures of Hoshimi and Tsubaki, Hephaestus's gaze returned to the blazing fire in the room. He fell into deep thought and muttered to himself:

"When the observer begins to gaze into the abyss, the abyss becomes the observed. This is a law... that even Uranus doesn't know."

"Since the destruction of Zeus's and Hera's Families, Orario has been silent for too long. Today, the shadow of the black dragon still looms over the world. Will a new hero be born here?"
