Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 490: Chapter 128: Skinning and Skin Making

The moment Qin Feng and Su Mumu stepped into Silver Moon City’s collection point, the guard in charge of registration looked up. When he saw the neat pile of Abyssal Demon Wolf corpses behind Qin Feng, still reeking of fresh blood, a flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes.

It was already difficult for ordinary new Ascenders to hunt one or two Abyssal Demon Wolves. A haul of this size was truly rare.

Qin Feng ignored the guard’s scrutiny and, following procedure, tallied and turned in the Demon Wolf corpses one by one.

As the last Abyssal Demon Wolf corpse was dragged into the processing room at the back by a Silver Moon City guard, a notification instantly popped up on his personal panel, and his Fire of Faith value updated with a considerable amount.

Qin Feng tapped the panel with his fingertip to confirm the Fire of Faith had been successfully credited. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and habitually glance at his backpack interface.

According to the rules of the Divine Domain, the "backpack" system from the Mortal Lord Plane could still be used normally in the Divine Domain.

However...

Just like Talents, skills, and the Emperor’s Guard, it consumed Fire of Faith.

And as long as the backpack remained active, it would continuously drain Qin Feng’s Fire of Faith.

The amount consumed just wasn’t very large.

But while this system backpack could store items just fine, it was far less secure than on the Lord Plane.

If the backpack’s owner were to unfortunately die, everything inside wouldn’t just disappear or return with them to the Lord’s Hall to await Resurrection, as it would in the Lord World. Instead, all the items would remain, untouched, on their corpse.

Whether it was a passing Ascender, an Abyssal Demon from the forest, or even a Divine Realm wild dog scavenging at the foot of the city walls, any of them could easily loot the items from the backpack on the corpse, without any buffer or grace period whatsoever.

Afterward, Qin Feng casually struck up a conversation with the Silver Moon City guard who was collecting the Demon Wolf corpses at the collection point.

After a few probing questions disguised as small talk, he managed to coax a piece of information from the guard that, while not exactly secret, was crucial for newcomers.

These Abyssal Demon Wolf corpses were not just scrap to be exchanged for Fire of Faith; they were actually excellent materials for forging equipment and tempering weapons.

However, to make full use of the Demon Wolf hides and bones, one would need an Ascender who had mastered the two crafts of Skinning and Skin Making, or a Deity with the same skills, to process them.

’Skinning? Skin Making?’

Hearing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. He recalled "Mining" being mentioned in the newcomer quest earlier, and a flash of understanding passed through his mind.

’Aren’t these just like the life skills from some online game in my past life?’

An idea suddenly struck him. He immediately cupped his fist toward the Silver Moon City guard and asked:

"Excuse me, sir, but here in the Divine Domain, besides Skinning and Skin Making, are there also secondary professions like Forging, Jewelcrafting, and Engineering?"

Hearing this, the Silver Moon City guard was stunned for a moment, then broke into a grin, nodded, and replied:

"That’s right."

"We have all of those."

He paused, then added:

"But these secondary professions are all touched by the special power of the Deities, and the rules are strict. As a result, each person can learn two at most. It’s absolutely impossible to master all of them."

The Silver Moon City guard looked Qin Feng up and down. Seeing that he was so young yet capable of hunting so many Abyssal Demon Wolves, a note of goodwill entered his tone:

"You’re pretty skilled for a newcomer."

"I’d advise you to learn Skinning first. If you specialize in processing the corpses of these Abyssal Demons, earning a steady supply of Fire of Faith is a sure thing."

"As for your second secondary profession, that depends on what you want to do."

He waved his hand, his tone sincere:

"The other secondary professions each have their own intricacies and their own benefits."

"If I just randomly point you down a path and it doesn’t suit you, I’d be doing you a disservice."

Hearing this, Qin Feng thanked him sincerely:

"Thanks."

"I’ll be sure to look into them carefully."

As he spoke, he pulled a pack of cigarettes he’d exchanged for Fire of Faith from his backpack, shook one out, and offered it to the guard.

The Silver Moon City guard accepted it readily, holding it between his fingers. The smile in his eyes deepened.

The two sat down on the stone blocks by the entrance of the collection point and chatted for quite a while.

Qin Feng appeared to be listening casually, but he was paying close attention, committing every piece of information to memory. He learned about the level divisions for secondary professions in the Divine Domain, the common ways to acquire Fire of Faith, the territories controlled by various Ascender factions, and even seemingly trivial yet crucial details—like which Deities’ Destiny Believers were best left alone.

Among all this information, what shook Qin Feng the most were the rules regarding Destiny Believers.

Take his Sielo Knights, for example.

These Iron-blooded Warriors, part of the Emperor’s Guard, could be summoned by Qin Feng to the Divine Domain. In essence, this made them his own special Destiny Believers.

What was even more critical was that the privileges of Destiny Believers in this world were virtually identical to those of Ascenders.

They could, like ordinary Ascenders, exchange for Divine Gift skills and Divine Gift Talents from the Deities.

They could wield Divine Gift weapons to deal effective damage to enemies in the Divine Domain.

They could learn secondary professions like Skinning, Skin Making, Mining, and Medicinal Herb Collection to earn Fire of Faith through their craft.

They could accept quests issued by the major cities and accumulate merit by completing bounties.

They even had the chance to gradually build up their foundation, obtain their own Divine Format, and ascend to become Junior Deities.

Furthermore, when the Sielo Knights used Divine Gift skills, the required Fire of Faith had to be either earned by the Knights themselves through completing quests and hunting Demons, or actively gifted to them by Qin Feng. It wasn’t automatically deducted by the system.
