Chapter 82 | I Awakened a Monster Compendium and Started Farming Bloodlines

With the emergence of the Magic Resistance passive, apprentice-level mages were now no different from ordinary people in Lynn's eyes.

Lynn touched the staff at his waist.

He couldn't help but feel that his means of countering mages were growing more and more numerous.

He felt a bit guilty toward his staff.

But this feeling was fleeting.

The mages he defeated should probably reflect on themselves.

After all these years, had their spell models been optimized? Had they practiced their spells diligently?

Having tested the effects of Magic Resistance, the concept in his mind was already growing impatient, urging Lynn to quickly choose his new Feats.

It always felt like the entity distributing these Feats was incredibly busy.

Every time it appeared, it rushed Lynn to choose quickly so it could move on to the next person.

Lynn looked at the new Feats available this time, which belonged to the Perception and Charisma attributes respectively.

Perception Feat Options—

【Alertness】: When ambushed while awake, you are more likely to react in time; when encountering an enemy head-on, you are more likely to gain the initiative.

【Truesight】 (Divine Blessing): Within your field of vision, you can see through darkness; within thirty meters, you can detect the location of stealthed targets with the naked eye; within eighteen meters, the effects of invisibility and illusions are greatly reduced before you; within five meters, you can sense planar fluctuations.

【Vigilance】: Perception +1

Charisma Feat Options—

【Hickey】: You are a master of romance. You are more likely to win the favor of the opposite sex, but when the "hickey" on you is discovered, please beware of a belated jealous drama.

【Proof of Leadership】: You are a natural leader. Your words are more easily believed by those in your own faction, but you also attract enemy attention more easily; when your team members (up to five) are weaker than you, they find it easier to make breakthroughs.

【Empathy】: You have a heart of gold. Except for races of the chaotic alignment, the initial disposition of any creature toward you will not be negative.

The other Feats were quite normal,

but when Lynn saw "Hickey," he felt a bit weirded out.

What did it mean by “You are a master of romance”?

Weren't Feats supposed to be formed based on past experiences?

Then wasn't this Feat just slander against him!

Moreover, this Feat also had a negative effect, so it was the first one Lynn eliminated.

As for 【Proof of Leadership】 and 【Empathy】, Lynn was somewhat torn.

The effects of both Feats felt extremely practical.

The former not only made it easier for Lynn to take the initiative in a team, but also helped teammates who couldn't keep up with him improve their strength as quickly as possible.

The latter would ensure that all lawful and neutral races wouldn't dislike him upon their first meeting, at the very least.

After much deliberation, and under the urging of that concept, Lynn ultimately chose 【Proof of Leadership】.

Because when he thought about it carefully, the effect of 【Empathy】 was actually not as practical as he had imagined.

Most lawful and neutral races wouldn't feel aversion toward him in the first place, given Lynn's high Charisma attribute.

As for those chaotic monsters, even if he had this Feat, they would still attack Lynn.

Therefore, the value of this Feat was greatly diminished for him.

As for the Perception Feat, it went without saying; he naturally chose the Divine Blessing, 【Truesight】.

Lynn felt that any single effect included in 【Truesight】 was strong enough to be its own individual Feat.

As the two Feats formed in his body, it meant Lynn's Perception and Charisma attributes had officially broken through to the class-holder level, reaching ten and thirteen points respectively.

Charisma in particular had leaped up to become Lynn's highest attribute.

If everything went smoothly next, his Intelligence attribute would also break through ten points after eating the Moon Fungus Cake.

This way, on one hand, Lynn would achieve the milestone of having all his attributes reach the class-holder level.

On the other hand, it also meant that solidifying his class was something that should be put on the agenda.

After completing the cemetery commission, Lynn's finances were now highly abundant.

Therefore, he had plenty of time to practice his skills to meet the requirements for obtaining a class.

The reward for this commission was seventy-three silver and fifty copper, while the loot—namely, the skeleton soldiers' equipment—was sold to his regular customer, the Adventurers' Guild.

This time, the Adventurers' Guild only offered a price of nine gold coins, three less than last time.

After all, there were no enchanted weapons among the loot this time.

This part of the reward was split equally among the three party members, with each receiving fifty-four silver coins.

However, the largest source of income from this commission was actually the gold candelabra taken from that vampire.

Lynn found a pawnshop to sell it to, and the trade-in price was as high as eight gold coins.

Of course, Lynn had no idea what price they would sell it for.

But according to the Monk, for a candelabra that wasn't pure gold to fetch eight gold coins, the price had already taken its artistic value into account.

Although he might have gotten two or three more gold coins if he had waited, Lynn was in urgent need of money, so he sold it directly.

Meanwhile, his expenses for this commission had also increased quite a bit,

totaling thirty-one silver.

The sixty silver coins to buy the red cap mushroom and blue umbrella mushroom were split between Lynn and Lupa, so he only spent thirty silver.

The other silver coin was the fee to commission an appraiser to identify that pair of bracers.

Actually, Lynn had originally planned to ask Mentor Gray to identify it for him directly.

But on second thought, he couldn't keep troubling Mentor Gray, so Lynn ultimately spent the money to hire the guild's appraiser.

The result given by the appraiser was that this pair of bracers was indeed a rare piece of enchanted equipment.

The equipment had two effects:

First, it could increase the wearer's casting speed.

Second, a cantrip could be imprinted onto the bracers, creating an effect similar to a spell scroll. It only required specific somatic components to activate the imprinted spell.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Lynn finally decided to imprint “Blade Ward” onto it.

This way, he only needed a fraction of a second to perform the gesture to activate this defensive spell.

His safety when being ambushed was greatly enhanced once again.

After confirming it was enchanted equipment, Lynn even gave it a name—

The Mage's Fist.

After spending these thirty-one silver coins,

when all was calculated, Lynn's current savings amounted to a whopping fourteen gold and five silver! It had reached the highest peak since he became an adventurer!
