Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 649 - 571: Golden Magic Stone

The scorching sun shone down on the ground.

The salty sea breeze blew in, making the air even more humid and hot. Sunlight reflected off the endless sea, casting a slightly dazzling glow.

Kane and the others were at the port, gazing at the vast ocean before them, as a small sea beast leapt out of the water, splashing waves around.

"Oh dear, all the tickets are sold out. So annoying, now we have to wait two more days," Longbei complained while staring at the sea.

They had jumped through several teleportation gates from where they had previously appeared, arriving at this port, ready to return by ship.

To travel back from the south, a ship was necessary. Another month of drifting on the ocean was about to begin.

However, they just missed today's departure, and the tickets were sold out, so they had to wait for the next trip in two days.

Kreya suggested, "We should use the teleportation gate to go to other ports. This port is too small; there should be cruise ships at other ports now."

Upon hearing Kreya's words, the others nodded in agreement, ready to turn and leave.

"Wait, let's build our own ship. These cruise ships are so awful; we can do better ourselves."

Kane said, extending his hands as an immense amount of magic power surged out from them.

Subsequently, the magic power wove and constructed before him, and a gigantic ship appeared in front of them.

This ship stretched about 100 meters long, 20 meters wide, and since it only needed to accommodate Kane and his companions, only three decks were constructed.

The ship's body was adorned with a lantern motif, with a flag on top, similarly bearing the lantern design.

Though not yet reaching the level of a cruise ship, it was a private vessel, and its size was more than adequate.

People elsewhere on the dock were amazed at the sudden appearance of the ship, rubbing their eyes to see if they were seeing things.

After finishing, Kane turned to Kreya and the others with a smile, saying, "Let's go, everyone, board our own cruise ship."

Saying this, the ship extended a large ramp from the deck, allowing them to quickly board.

The group swiftly boarded the ship and arrived on the deck.

Then Yoyo flew directly into the captain's cabin, and soon the ship's broadcast system delivered Yoyo's voice.

"Attention, all crew members, the Lantern Ship is about to set sail!"

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

With a series of bell chimes, the ship slowly started moving, swiftly departing from the port.

As soon as they boarded the ship, they began walking around the deck, admiring Kane's new creation.

Kreya looked at the length of the deck, then turned to ask, "Kane, has the range of your origin skills expanded this wide?"

Upon hearing Kreya's inquiry, Kane nodded and replied, "Yes, it's now over 100 meters, and the ship's length is around 100 meters. As long as I don't stay at the bow or stern too long, there won't be any issues."

Nevertheless, this ship was the first vehicle Kane built with such dimensions. Due to the previous range of his origin skills, even though he designed various vehicles, most were limited to the paper stage.

Upon hearing Kane's explanation, Longbei suddenly asked, "Kane, if we do training on this ship, will it have any impact?"

"Certainly not, this is constructed with origin skills, even if it gets damaged, it can be immediately repaired," Kane responded with a smile.

"Then we'll utilize this time on the ship to ease the discomfort brought by upgrading our origin skills and constitution, since there's nothing else to do."

The proposal was sound, and action followed without hesitation.

They found their respective rooms, freshened up a bit, and donned the training suits they'd used during practice at Aiklonen's field.

These training suits were kept for remembrance, as Kane hadn't seen anything more formidable in training attire.

The suit had one function: it couldn't be torn.

Then each began their battles on the deck.

While others conducted their fights, Kane stood by, ready to repair any damage the ship sustained, ensuring its perfect voyage.

He continuously assessed the ship, making reasonable modifications to any inefficient structures or problematic areas.

After all, it had been mainly theoretical data before, being used for the first time came with many minor issues.

Nevertheless, since it was fabricated by Kane's origin skills, repairs and modifications were executed effortlessly.

Indeed, one's own ship was far more comfortable, spacious and adaptable without worrying about affecting others.

Thus, the group trained until nightfall, overcoming the discomfort from the attributes enhanced by the golden level.

Next up was training, focusing on unleashing the body's full power.

Primarily, it involved honing the mastery and familiarity of origin skills, which could only be expedited through individual battles and combat.

The night sky was shrouded in black, as a crescent moon appeared on the horizon, reflecting on the sea.

Kane lay in his room, resting on Cotton Candy.

Since upgrading to the golden level, apart from some consumption reduction, there was a significant decrease.

Though the giant ship appeared substantial, it barely registered as a drain on Kane's magic power.

This was due to the ship's technological structure being notably simple, incomparable to any of Kane's mecha units.

Both the energy setup and mechanical framework and material strength, when compared to mecha, were extremely basic.

This meant that most of Kane's magic power consumption derived from the ship's sheer size, which wasn't much.

Therefore, Kane's current magic recovery speed balanced the ship's consumption rate, requiring little effort to sustain.

No impact on sleep at night at all.

Finally, Kane could have a proper night's rest.

Before that, he needed to utilize what he gained from smashing the Golden Bridge.

A small bridge-shaped crystal, a trophy earned from defeating the Golden Bridge.

No concept of posthumous loot, yet it was considered the Bridge's corpse, or perhaps its heart?

This was a golden-level magic material.

[Fragmented Heart of the Golden Bridge]

[Magic Material]

[Hue: Golden]

[Attributes:]

[Upon use, recharge magic stone energy]

[Introduction: The world's parasite created by the supreme presence.

Specifically used to devour the world's energy, the core of the world, the remnants left after being shattered. Even the remnants exhibit extremely high energy reactions.]

The first normal-level gold magic material acquired by Kane, not knowing how much it can charge a magic stone, neither a large amount nor a trace is mentioned.

Thinking of this, Kane directly takes out a blank magic stone, then places it together with the crystal stone resembling a golden bridge in his hand.

The energy of the golden bridge begins to gather into a strand that flows into the magic stone.

As the energy strand flows in, the crystal stone resembling a golden bridge starts to dim and shatter, with the shattered parts turning into flying ash.

Compared to copper-level and silver-level magic materials, do golden magic materials also shatter after use?

The golden bridge shattered once again on the outside, truly pathetic.

When the golden bridge is completely shattered, transforming into a heap of ash on Kane's floor.

Half of the transparent crystal stone in Kane's hand has already turned into a dazzling golden color, while the other half still maintains a transparent crystalline appearance.

This indicates that a golden-level magic material can roughly achieve half charging in absence of explicit attribute details.

Unknown if this is an exception or if all golden materials are similarly so.

Thinking of this, Kane retrieved the golden-level material Aiklonen had previously given him from his space equipment.

[Divine Heart]

[Magic Materials/Consumables]

[Color: Tricolor] (Faded/Degraded) 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

[Attributes:]

[Eternal Object]

[Use to obtain - Bloodline (Wugh Goddess)]

[Use to fill the magic stone (Golden)]

[Introduction: The sealed Evil God, dropping the personality during sealing, lost its power, and eventually led to permanent extinction.

Obtaining its bloodline upon use gives a certain chance to become its reincarnation medium, a greater chance for bloodline contamination, and inevitably alters faction inclination.]

This is a tricolor-level material and can directly grant one a bloodline.

However, when Kane acquired this material, whether from the introduction or previous intelligence, it showed that the bloodline of this thing is not worth possessing at all.

Better to honestly use it as a golden-level charging battery.

Since it's a faded tricolor thing, it can only charge with golden energy, but it can directly fill a magic stone, which is clearly stated in the identification.

This will become the first golden magic stone after Kane becomes gold.

Additionally, this item was handed over to him by Aiklonen, inexplicably considered a reward for clearing a dungeon, hence can be used for magic stone charging.

Thinking of this, Kane placed the half-charged golden magic stone into the space equipment and took out a new blank magic stone, placing it above the Divine Heart to let it collect the Divine Heart's energy.

This time, several golden strands directly poured out from the Divine Heart, infusing into the magic stone.

The magic stone rapidly filled with golden energy.

Just a short while later, a heap of flying ash appeared in Kane's hand, even the ash of the Divine Heart shimmered with a crystalline glow.

Although still a pile of waste, at least it looks good.

Looking at the fully charged magic stone in his hand.

Compared to copper and silver, the golden magic stone continuously emits a golden glow.

One can clearly see the golden energy within the magic stone slowly rotating, flowing like a stream.

The powerful energy inside is clearly felt through the crystal surface, holding it also feels the warmth of the magic stone.

The temperature is nearly approaching 100 degrees; ordinary people can't even hold it, let alone use it.

Looking at the golden magic stone in his hand, Kane feels a resurgence of past excitement.

The first extraction of golden skills is about to begin, just thinking about it fills one with excitement.

But there are other things to do before then.

Kane opens the [Book of Adventure], inserts the skill stone from the Angel Dice into his skill grid.

Golden-level skills must be treated seriously; he won't extract unless he rolls a lucky number, waiting is preferable to bad luck.

Thinking of this, magic power flows from his palm, an eight-sided dice materializes from his hand, upon completion, a phantom of an angel appears.

Looking at the dice, Kane takes a deep breath.

Slowly tossing it into the air, watching it hit the ground and rapidly spin on an edge.

Inexplicably, Kane feels a wave of nervousness surge within him.

Subsequently, the spinning dice slows down, the rotating numbers on it becoming visible.

Until finally, it slowly comes to a stop.

Kane looks at the side, red, it's luck.

3 points! That's enough, perfectly sufficient.

Though not the luckiest 4 points, 3 points is more than adequate.

Kane decided if it's red, he would proceed with skill extraction, now it's red 3 points, exceeding expectations.

Without hesitation, directly flipping the [Book of Adventure] to the extraction page.

Holding the just-fully-charged golden magic stone, feeling the surging warmth on it.

Gently placing his other hand on the extraction array.

[Skill Extraction]

[Consume golden magic stone for skill extraction?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes"

[Skill extraction in progress...]

[Maiden's prayer in progress...]
