Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"Anyway, we've already made 200 million, so losing a little bit of the deposit is fine."

"Okay, coming right away!" Lilia deliberately stomped her feet heavily on the floor, as if to remind Lina that she was really leaving.

Hearing this, Lina, who was walking in front, clicked her tongue, stopped, and looked at the two people who weren't backing up at all and were still following behind her. She said:

"You two little devils, you really don't know any better!"

"Alright, I'll tell you."

"The elite-level skills I want to study... are highly related to dragon species."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow, then turned around and prepared to leave with Lilia.

With so little information, who are you trying to fool?

In our past lives, we were shrewd Eastern Jews! We were masters at manipulating people's hearts.

Seeing Lynn turn and leave, Lina sighed, put one hand on her hip, and fanned herself with a folding fan, saying:

"Aren't the men of the Knightworth family all pretty simple-minded?"

"How did such a greedy little devil like you come along?"

Lina complained, but ultimately took a step back and explained:

"Alright, stop pretending."

"What I'm researching is indeed elite-level, but it's not a skill."

"Not a skill?" Lynn stopped and turned back, looking at Lina with curiosity. "Then what is it?"

At this moment, Lina raised an eyebrow, and with a hint of smugness, lifted her chin:

Have you ever heard of Dragon-attribute Stigmata?

Lynn, who was already reluctant to walk, now found it even harder to take another step:

"I would like to hear the details!"

Chapter 110 Blasphemy still needs to be done by professionals!

Seeing Lynn stop and listen attentively, Lina immediately prepared to explain.

However, at this moment, Lilia couldn't help but whisper:

"Among attribute-based Stigmata, there's a dragon attribute? I've never heard of that before."

As Lilia spoke, she kept glancing at Lynn, signaling him to pay attention to this issue.

Then Lilia was glared at by Lina, who said disdainfully:

"With your dull-witted appearance, you probably haven't even passed the exam to become a professor of Stigmata Studies at the church, have you?"

"If you didn't pass the exam, shut up and don't show off your cheap brain in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Lilia immediately shut her mouth, clearly aware of the high value of the Church's Stigmata Studies qualification.

After all, the title of Professor of Stigmata Studies is one of the very few that cannot be obtained with a letter of recommendation and can only be obtained through an examination.

After criticizing Lilia's intelligence, Lina turned her gaze to Lynn and said with a hint of excitement:

Do you know?

"Dragon blood can amplify all known elemental magic, thus making the skills used by dragon blood-blooded beings more powerful than those of other adventurers under the same conditions."

"This is not about amplifying a single attribute, but about amplifying all known attributes."

"Initially, while researching dragon blood, I tried to study the attributes that could not be amplified by dragon blood, and whether dragon was an independent attribute."

"The first experiment failed because I didn't have enough dragon blood. At the same time, the dragon blood I have can indeed amplify the power of all attributes; it's just a matter of how much."

"Based on the previous experiment, I have discovered that dragon blood can indeed appear as a separate stigma attribute."

"It's just that the experimental sample size is too small, the number of people in the Dragon Blood Clan is not large, and the number of deaths is too small, which has caused my research to get stuck on the progress bar of condensing skill stones."

"Until this progress bar arrived, a special corpse appeared."

Lina glanced at Lynn as she said this.

That look made Lynn instantly understand, and he exclaimed in astonishment:

"Is that Jacken's body?"

The man who wasn't from a dragonblood family but coveted the red dragon blood of the Knightworth family, killed Lynn Knightworth, and then tried to use Lynn's appearance to cover up his crimes.

Lynn remembered that his corpse seemed to be a rare one, a corpse that had usurped the blood of the red dragon using the primitive bloodline techniques recorded in the Gospels.

“You’re right, it’s Jack’s body.”

Lina unfolded her folding fan, squinted her eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment as she swayed the fan:

"I never expected that the corpse of an ordinary person who had usurped the dragon's blood would give me my final inspiration."

"This means that what was originally just an experiment to test elite-level dragon-attribute skills can be taken a big step forward and can directly involve the inscription of dragon-attribute holy marks."

"Engraving sacred marks?"

Lilia looked at Lina in shock, her gaze as if she were looking at a research fanatic:

"Isn't that a path that the Evangelical Fellowship abandoned long ago?"

Why are you researching this kind of skill?

Upon hearing the words 'Evangelical Fellowship,' Lina glanced at Lilia, then at Lynn. Seeing that Lynn didn't react, she didn't bother to argue and simply said:

"The Gospel Society gave up on inscribing stigmata because they were too greedy and wanted to find universal stigmata that could be used by adventurers of all bloodlines."

"Heh, they were so crazy that after they figured out the advantages of bloodlines, they even wanted to incorporate the advantages of Holy Marks into their grasp, which is why they failed and lost many elites."

"But I'm different!"

Lina narrowed her eyes and said with a hint of smugness:

"All I want is for the dragon-attribute stigmata to become a skill and be recognized by the stigmata system!"

"That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn suddenly realized something and said with a strange expression:

"You wouldn't be thinking of using the divine grace of the Stigmata to unlock Dragon-attribute Stigmata, would you?"

Lina glanced at Lynn in surprise upon hearing this:

"Does your brain work very quickly?"

Then she closed her fan and pointed the tip at Lynn's chest, saying:

"You guessed right!"

"What I need to borrow is indeed the divine grace brought by the Holy Mark."

"As we all know, when the Stigmata system is upgraded to the Elite level, it will discover the adventurer's attribute direction and anchor the Stigmata texture at the center of the forehead."

"This process is completed automatically after the level reaches level 30. Generally speaking, the attributes that are discovered are the attributes that account for the largest proportion of all the adventurer's own strength."

"So, what if, when an adventurer reaches level 30, it just so happens that, I mean just so happens, the dominant attribute on their character is dragon?"

Lilia's mouth gradually opened wide, staring in disbelief at the 'madman' in front of her:

"Interfering with the selection of the Stigmata system? My God... If the Church found out, those fanatics would probably go crazy!"

Thinking of this, Lilia couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Who exactly is the Gospel Church?!"

Lilia suddenly realized that the bloodline research in the Evangelical Church was nothing but blasphemy against the gods. It was Lina, who was in the church system but was researching and interfering with divine grace, who was the real blasphemer!

"It's just some behavior that takes advantage of the rules. Only the most stubborn old fogies would cling to the argument that 'the laws of the gods cannot be changed'."

Lina sneered at this, turned around again, and said with her back to Lynn and Lilia:

"Alright, that's the theory. You should have a basic understanding of the situation now."

Lina turned her head and looked back at Lynn with her sky-blue eyes:

"So, will you join me in blaspheming the gods?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn smiled:

"The so-called gods are nothing more than predecessors who came before me!"

He started walking, smiling as he followed Lina, muttering to himself in a mercenary tone:

"Following the rules of our predecessors is certainly safe and stable, but exploring new paths with you, Miss Lina, can also be a refreshing experience~"

"What if it fails?" Lina raised an eyebrow, her expression playful. "Would you still be willing to try?"

"Of course!"

Lynn answered without hesitation.

But after saying that, he quickly added:

"But it costs extra!"

At this moment, Lilia chimed in from the side:

"And we must ensure safety!"

After Lilia finished speaking, she gazed intently at Lina's face:

"It's absolutely safe!"

Lina raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then turned around, beckoning to the two with her back to them, and said:

"It seems it's time to show you the professional level of the 'Professor of Stigmata Studies'."

Upon hearing this, Lynn exchanged a glance with Lilia, then quickly followed after her.

10 minutes later,

In Lina's research room.

Lynn sat on a bed that resembled a hospital bed, holding a purple square skill stone in his hand.

After examining it closely for a few moments, Lynn noticed that there seemed to be fine, hard-to-detect cracks on the skill stone.

"This is a dragon-attribute stigmata?"

"To be precise, it's a dragon-attribute skill called 'Stigmata'."

Standing to the side, Lina, now wearing a white lab coat, walked over carrying documents and said calmly:

"Even if it fails after use, the worst that will happen is mental overload and lying in a hospital bed for a few days."

"But if it's now, I'll allow you to back out."

"We've already taken the money, there's no reason for us to go back on our word."

Lynn smiled and affixed the purple skill stone to the black stigmata on the back of his right hand:

"Besides, even if I really need to lie down for a few days, with you, Lina, taking responsibility for me, there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, Lina gave him a strange look, then glanced at Lilia, who was about the same size as her, and said subtly:

"You little rascal, you actually like my type?"

"You've got quite a good appetite!"

Lynn did not answer, because the skill stone that was gradually getting hot told him.

Absorption has begun!

Chapter 111 Is there any point in living like this? (Fourth update)

A scalding heat flowed from the stigmata on the back of his right hand, as if the blood flowing through his arm was being heated.

Compared to the previous reaction of only getting hot when absorbing a stigma, the reaction to absorbing this skill stone is clearly different.

At this moment, Lina, noticing the skill stone's color changing, used several reconnaissance skills in succession. After confirming there was nothing amiss, she eagerly asked:
