From the Abyss of Stars Part 2

Vol-3: 028. Sharpfang Peak

With the status of 【Genetic Damage】 repaired, all of Li Aozi's Omega Energies and abilities were fully unlocked.

Now, by activating 【Flesh Enhancement】, his 【Strength】 would explode, and with a 220% increase, it would exceed 300 points.

Unfortunately, the colonial graft fusion boosted many non-primary attributes, but Li Aozi's main attribute, 【Charisma】, saw little change.

Using colonial grafts to boost stats, or using secondary classes to increase attributes, wasn't unusual. However, players couldn't pump out as much experience and gene fragments as he could in one go. For players, maxing out two secondary classes in one version would already make them hardcore grinders.

It's just like earning interest in a bank: everyone knows how it works, but when rich people put in their money, the results are entirely different compared to poor people. The former can withstand losses with their savings, while the latter have to withdraw savings to cope with risks.

Grinding stats wasn't difficult. By the late game, everyone's base attributes wouldn't differ too much... except for 【Starfall Masters】, who were notoriously fragile.

If the Qiqiao Network hadn't blocked the actual effects of player attributes, players and NPCs would probably have been playing mind games, instead of just running errands and unclogging toilets.

Li Aozi sorted his equipment and used the bio pool to produce some potions.

Although there might not be any fighting on this trip, it was better to be prepared.

Li Aozi didn't inject new Omega Energy awakening potions yet, as his current Omega Energies were sufficient. Accumulating too many Omega Energies would place too much burden on his genes.

In the future, he would gradually eliminate non-sequence Omega Energies and establish his combat system. The Blood Demon setup could be used all the way to Zeta-tier. Beyond that, he'd need sequence-level Omega Energies for support.

As for the 【Mage】 class, Li Aozi wasn't willing to invest experience in it for now.

He didn't have enough experience to learn knowledge and skills, and 【Mage】, unlike 【Warrior】, didn't grant passive skills just by leveling up.

None of the classes under the 【Craft】 category came with skill trees.

That's why Mages were hard to cultivate. Early-game Mages had to grind money and experience while learning knowledge to gain combat skills through combinations.

Now that his 【Intelligence】 was sufficient, leveling up his secondary class wasn't very meaningful. However, once the pigs—Li Aozi meant the players—entered the scene, 【Mage】 would become much more interesting.

After all, enchanting mana bars had no cost for Li Aozi.

Fully prepared, Li Aozi retrieved the weapon he had found earlier in the underground cave of the 【Hero of Phalicia】.

Previously, because he couldn't identify it, Li Aozi had been carrying it around without being able to use it.

In magical civilizations, appraisal fees were extremely expensive, charged at 3.8% to 5.5% of the item's value.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it—Li Aozi could pay the price.

However, if he had it appraised, the real issue wouldn't be 'whether it works,' but 'whether it's legal.'

Now that his 【Eye of Truth】 had returned, Li Aozi naturally took it out.

He unwrapped the beast hide that had been covering it, revealing the sword's true appearance: a simple longsword with nothing seemingly special at first glance—a brass guard, deep red wrappings, and a simple lion-engraved pommel.
