"These armors are just carriers. Even if they are made of alloys, they are still very fragile when facing the attack of energy weapons. However, after the runes are carved on them, they immediately have strong protection capabilities and can form a loop with the soul energy of our bodies."

"The denser the runes, the stronger the protection ability of the equipment. The rune engraving machine I used is very basic, and my rune engraving skills are also average, so I can only carve very basic energy runes on these equipment, resulting in the protection of these equipment being very average." Zeng Shidao's expression of regret.

"oh."

"By the same reason, these weapons were originally just ordinary weapons, but because these runes made them form a loop with our soul energy, this doubled their lethality." Zeng Shidao continued.

"So that's it." Jin Ke continued to echo, knowing that Zeng Shidao didn't just want to tell him this.

"Do you want to learn rune carving?" Zeng Shidao brought it out to Jin Ke.

"Think of it!"

"Okay, I can teach you my rune carving skills, but there are three conditions." Zeng Shidao took it seriously and asked Jin Ke.

“What are the three conditions?”

"The first condition is that you have to take me as your teacher, and I will support me when I get old. Of course, I will protect you before I grow old and not let others bully you at will! This first condition is not negotiated, can you agree?" Zeng Shidao looked proud.

"You are already my master!" Jin Ke of course agreed. After playing so many games, the protagonists in various games often have masters because of various game plots, and they don't care about paying more. In addition, Old Man Zeng is in such good health and can't jump around for more than ten years, right? The time flow rate in the game world is the same as in the real world. Help him with his old age? Could it be that this game can be played for a lifetime?

"Hahahaha... It's great! We will be a master-apprentice relationship in the future. With me here, I'm sure no one in this base dares to bully you!" Zeng Shidao seemed very happy. This old man had a weird temper, but he was wholeheartedly good to the people around him.

Jin Ke's hardworking and high-quality work during this period made Zeng Shidao feel that he was a very hardworking junior and could make a fortune, so he decided to accept Jin Ke as his disciple. But it was one thing to accept Jin Ke as his disciple, and whether Jin Ke could pass his test was another thing. Only when Jin Ke passed his subsequent test would he wholeheartedly teach what he had learned in his life and risked to try to refine a soul-dividing agent for him with Liu Junming.

Otherwise, even the master-apprentice relationship can be dissolved.

"The second condition is that you have to go out with me and help me with a transport work." Zeng Shidao continued.

"This... is no problem." Jin Ke's heart was pounding. Is he going to do field missions? What exactly does the world outside the training base look like? Jin Ke has played countless games before, but no game is like the "Horror City" game. After playing it for more than two months, he has never even gone out of a novice village like the training base.

However, the more depressed the player is, the more curious the world outside the training base. Although he is curious, Jin Ke will not try to sneak out for adventure... Of course, he can't escape either.

At present, for Jin Ke, keeping this job is the most important thing. Now the NPC in the game says he wants to go out with him, but he has the opportunity to let him get in touch with the outside world in advance and answer some of his inner questions about this game. He doesn’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. You must know that in his original plan, he wanted to practice all attributes to the highest level before leaving the training base to take risks.

But it can be imagined that if he wants to gain a foothold in this game and make the character grow faster and become stronger, he can't hide in the training base all the time? Following these NPCs to do some relatively safe field work should help him understand the game more deeply, so that he can be more calmer than other new players when facing future dangers.

So after Zeng Shidao proposed this second condition to him, Jin Ke agreed after a little thought.

"The third condition is... Once you learn rune carving skills and carve rune of these old equipment, you will not get any contribution points from me, that is, all the contribution points obtained by these work belong to me." Zeng Shidao put forward the third condition.

"But Master, I want to have a meal too! I will starve to death without contribution. Let's consider this third condition..." Jin Ke felt very strange about this third condition. Does this old man want to train him into a free labor force? Although he can learn rune carving skills, he still has to speak when he needs to bargain and cannot just suffer this loss.

"I will be responsible for all your diet in the future. I will notify the canteen to record all the food you eat in the canteen on my account." Zeng Shidao seemed to have considered this issue for a long time.

"I have a lot of food, are you responsible? That's all you need to be full." Jin Ke's 24-hour work and training, especially basic training such as strength, endurance, speed, and agility, consumes a lot of food. If you don't control it, you have to eat dozens of eggs and other kinds of food a day, and it's okay to eat others' appetite for three days.

In order to save money, Ke sometimes even has to control the character's food. If Zeng Shidao is responsible for providing all his diet, he will no longer have to control his food in the future. Eating more than 100 contribution points a day, or even more than 200 contribution points is easy, and his wages are earned back.

The 4,000 contribution points won by PK with Zhao Bo can also be saved to exchange for some useful props and items at the training base.

"Of course I have enough!" Zeng Shidao agreed. As one of the older personnel in the base, Zeng Shidao even owns some shares in the canteen. Helping Jin Ke sign contracts in the canteen is just to pay less dividends when settlement is made every quarter, which is not a big problem for him.

"Okay, I promise these three conditions. Master can teach me rune carving skills, right?" Jin Ke's expression was very expectant.

"Don't be too happy too early. It's one thing for me to teach you, and it's another thing for you to learn it. Before learning rune carving skills, you must practice energy. Energy cultivation in combination with rune carving is not so easy to succeed."

"In this regard, we must not only have diligence and hard work that exceeds ordinary people, but also depend on everyone's talent. Before you, I have led five apprentices, and three of them can't endure the hardships when practicing energy. The remaining two have made no progress in practicing for three months, and they can only give up in the end." Zeng Shidao continued.
