: Bishop's Gift of Skills

The effect of the Healing Dominator randomly increasing attributes is clearly based on the Professional's class of the target.

The guy ahead, Liu Yong, was carrying a Magic Staff, so he must be of the Magic System. Healing him allowed Lin Ye to boost his Spiritual Power.

On the other hand, Wu Qiang was a Warrior Class, hence he provided Strength Attributes.

After healing Wu Qiang, Lin Ye gained 7 points of Strength Value!

Starting off with such an attribute boost, Lin Ye was already winning big time.

Typically, under normal circumstances, leveling up only grants five points of Free Attribute Value.

But Lin Ye, through the Healing Technique, gained 5 points of Spiritual Power in addition to 7 points of Strength Value!

Additionally, there were ten units of Spiritual Essence.

This feeling was absolutely exhilarating.

At this moment, another Healing Technique from Lin Ye brought a new surprise.

[Your Healing Technique restored five hundred points of Life Value to 'Wu Qiang', and you acquired the Talent 'Damage Reduction (B-level)'!]

[Damage Reduction (B-level): Reduces all damage received by 5*current level]

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.

Didn't expect to even snag Wu Qiang's Talent!

Damage Reduction is relatively common among Close Combat Professions; it directly reduces damage received and is very practical.

However, this Talent is useful in the early stages, but it's quite lacking later on.

Even so, a B-level talent is fated not to last into the late game.

But Lin Ye's Healing Dominator has a feature that accumulates healing amounts to enhance the Talent level!

It's just a pity that Lin Ye didn't get Liu Yong's Magic Talent.

Apparently, the probability of acquiring Talents is low, quite luck-dependent.

So getting Wu Qiang's Talent was already quite a bounty.

Meanwhile, the young Priest had already finished dealing with the seriously injured, though clearly, some injuries couldn't be treated.

"I can't handle bodily defects," he said with a bit of regret.

This Professional who looked like an Archer lost an arm, an injury beyond what Healing Techniques can handle.

Limb regeneration is only possible through high-level Priests.

And in a small place like Shan City, clearly, the conditions aren't met.

"Oh? Are your injuries all healed?"

The young man widened his eyes. These guys were still looking badly injured just now; how are they all healed already?

Could the Bishop have intervened?

But isn't the Bishop injured and unable to act freely?

"Oh, this young brother helped us!" Liu Yong gratefully looked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye just smiled blandly.

Healers are like that; it's easy for them to gain others' favor, especially for powerful Healers who are sought after by all factions.

Perhaps Healers don't excel in combat, but they can call a bunch of people to assist them easily.

"You?"

The young man was a bit surprised, not expecting a freshly transitioned little Healer to possess such capability.

To know that when he first started, it took him almost half a day of practice to barely manage a Healing Technique in three seconds.

"What is your name, young friend?"

Just then, a Cyan Robe Bishop had already walked over, smiling as he addressed Lin Ye.

Lin Ye recognized this elder at a glance.

Liu Qingshan, responsible for managing all Holy Light Churches in Shan City, a respected elder.

In his last life, Lin Ye was quite well cared for by him.

"Greetings, Bishop Liu, I am called Lin Ye!" Lin Ye responded respectfully.

"Very well, I saw your performance just now. You are simply the most talented Healer I have ever seen!" Liu Qingshan said, full of praise.

These words made the few people present unable to help but glance at Lin Ye a few more times.

Especially the leader of the Professional team, Liu Yong, whose mind had become active, considering recruiting him.

"The bishop overpraises me. I just did what I could," Lin Ye replied with a smile.

Yet Liu Qingshan took out something.

"It's rare for Shan City to have a talent like you. Here is a Skill Book of the Punishment Technique for you!"

Lin Ye was speechless...

How similar this scene was to the previous life!

Last time, Liu Qingshan also chased after him to give him a Skill Book, and even his transition to Anger Flame Priest was aided by Liu Qingshan.

Later, Lin Ye learned it was because his Healing Technique proficiency impressed Liu Qingshan.

In this life, however, the gift of the Skill Book came several years earlier.

"This is too precious…" Lin Ye pretended to decline.

The Punishment Technique is a blue quality Skill Book, with a market price of about ten thousand, definitely not a small amount.

"It's okay; you can't take it with you when you die. Better to let young people use it than take it with me to my grave!" Liu Qingshan said generously.

"Then I must accept it graciously! Thank you, Bishop Liu!" Lin Ye no longer pretended and respectfully accepted the Skill Book of the Punishment Technique from Liu Qingshan.

Output capability and methods are the biggest shortfalls for every Healer.

The Punishment Technique is one of the few output skills Healers can learn early on.

Of course, when typically exploring Secret Realms, Healers just need to manage the team's health; output is not their concern.

Successfully binding a Professional, brushing a bunch of attributes, and even freeloading a blue quality Skill Book.

Lin Ye had made quite the haul this time.

After bidding farewell to Liu Qingshan, he left the church.

Liu Yong and the others also followed after seeing Lin Ye leave.

The church, which was quite lively just now, suddenly returned to the tranquility the night should have.

...

Lin Ye left the church, not in a hurry to go home.

He remembered that tonight's doorbell noise bothered him the entire night, so he couldn't sleep well.

So, he spent a little money to find a small inn for a night's stay.

With awakened Talents and a Professional in hand, he just needed to report to school on schedule without having to attend daily.

As a Quasi-Professional, there's nothing more important than leveling up at the moment.

Right then, Lin Ye's phone rang.

Upon picking it up, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Su Yaoyao: "I'm at the park entrance. Bring your Professional Badge to find me; I have something for you!"

"Oh, something dirty!"

Lin Ye replied, then directly blocked her.

He realized he should have blocked Su Yaoyao the moment he was reborn.

...

At the entrance of Shancheng Park, Su Yaoyao, with her arms crossed, was still annoyed about the events at school during the day.

What annoyed her the most was that Lin Ye still hadn't come to apologize to her.

"If it weren't for you having the 'Flame Warrior' badge, I wouldn't even bother with you!"

Su Yaoyao cursed inwardly.

Right then, her phone beeped.

"It must be Lin Ye!"

Su Yaoyao smiled smugly, thinking that despite what happened in the day, he still obediently replied instantly, right?

Truly too easy to manipulate!

However, upon picking up the phone, she was dumbfounded.

"Dirty stuff? What the heck?"

Su Yaoyao sent a 'What do you mean?' to Lin Ye, only to see a red exclamation mark.

Lin Ye had blocked her!

: Refining the Spatial Bag, Multi-dimensional Universe?

Early the next morning, Lin Ye got up.

He arrived at the Professional Plaza, still a bit early for his appointment with Li Fei. He came here to purchase some basic equipment and supplies.

"I still have a hundred thousand left."

Lin Ye calculated, this was the compensation he received after his parents were killed in an Anomalous Spatial Rift riot three years ago.

The total compensation was a hundred and twenty thousand, and in three years, he had spent less than twenty thousand.

He had been frugal to the extreme.

But now, to embark on an adventure in the Secret Realm, some preparations were necessary.

For example, storage bags like Spatial Bags and mana recovery potions were essential.

As for equipment, it was obviously not necessary. As a Healer, his demand for equipment wasn't high.

There were many vendors at the Professional Plaza.

Lin Ye immediately found a merchant selling Spatial Bags.

Basic Spatial Bags, five hundred yuan each. These bulk items were basically sold by volume, with little room for negotiation. Lin Ye quickly bought one.

...

[Basic Spatial Bag](Refinable)

Attributes: Provides 1*1*1 (meter) storage space

Description: Nested bags are prohibited; Spatial Bags cannot store other Spatial Bags.

...

A one cubic meter storage bag, priced at five hundred yuan.

However, if it was two cubic meters, the price skyrocketed to ten thousand yuan!

If it were larger, say four cubic meters, the price would directly shoot up to the hundred thousand level.

As for those with eight cubic meters of space, they were multimillion-dollar high-end items, out of reach for ordinary people.

Lin Ye once saw in his previous life a sixteen cubic meter Spatial Bag auctioned for a billion-yuan high price.

Only now, there appeared a 'refinable' word on this Spatial Bag.

Lin Ye understood it was the effect triggered by the Spiritual Essence he obtained last night at the church while aiding Liu Yong and Wu Qiang with healing.

Lin Ye found a corner to try refining the effect.

[Ding! Consume 1 Spiritual Essence to refine!]

With a 'ding' sound, the Spatial Bag in Lin Ye's hand seemed to shimmer slightly.

Lin Ye immediately checked its refined attributes.

...

[Multi-Dimensional Basic Spatial Bag](Refinable)

Bound

Attribute 1: Provides 1*1*1 (meter) storage space

Attribute 2: Can store Spatial Bags

Description: This is the Multi-dimensional Universe (fog)

...

"Is that possible?"

Lin Ye's eyes widened.

If that's the case, he could buy a bunch of one cubic meter Spatial Bags and stuff them into this Multi-Dimensional Spatial Bag, wouldn't that mean his storage space was significantly expanded?

Even with just a one cubic meter space, he could at least store hundreds of Spatial Bags.

In other words, Lin Ye could stack up hundreds of cubic storage spaces...

The thought was a bit daunting.

The only pity was that these spaces belonged to separate Spatial Bags and were not interconnected; otherwise, it would be truly heaven-defying.

But if used for adventuring in the Secret Realm, storing potions, consumables, etc., it would certainly be more than sufficient; Lin Ye could even carry more loot than others!

This was the most important part!

Due to storage space limitations, many Professionals worked hard to clear the Secret Realm, only to bring out a small portion of the loot.

This indeed could be frustrating.

But there was no help for it; Spatial Bags were extremely fragile, carrying too many of them was like having a weakness everywhere, so how to fight?

Thus, many Professionals tended to only carry two or three, just for appearance's sake.

But now Lin Ye had no such concerns.

One Spatial Bag was sufficient to provide him with hundreds of storage space!

"Buy twenty more Spatial Bags!"

At five hundred each, twenty would only cost ten thousand!

But that ten thousand could achieve effects that even a billion couldn't achieve!

After all, a sixteen cubic meter Spatial Bag was priced at a billion.

While Lin Ye's total twenty cubic meters of storage space, although not continuous, only cost ten thousand, the cost-effectiveness was off the charts, who needs a bike then?

The only regret was that this Spatial Bag had the word 'bound' appear on it.

Apparently, refined items would automatically bind to Lin Ye.

Trying to make money by refining and selling items would not work.

Otherwise, this Multi-Dimensional Spatial Bag alone, not to mention ten billion, could easily sell for hundreds of billions!

Lin Ye returned to the previous stall and bought twenty in one go.

This time, the vendor proactively offered a discount; Lin Ye spent only nine thousand five hundred yuan to obtain the twenty Basic Spatial Bags.

However, as the vendor watched Lin Ye holding such a pile of Spatial Bags, he couldn't figure it out.

"Little brother, don't mind me asking, but if you're spending ten thousand, why not just buy a two cubic meter Spatial Bag!"

Twenty Spatial Bags, weren't they going to make a full circle around your waist...

The scene was somewhat abstract.

Anyone unaware might think you were doing some weird collection achievement.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

Of course, Lin Ye wouldn't mention anything about the Multi-Dimensional Spatial Bag.

Besides, who would believe him if he did?

"Eh! Alright then! You can come back to return them within three days, but be sure to keep them well, avoid any damage!" the vendor reminded again.

Lin Ye nodded, thanked him, and quickly left.

After another round of shopping, Lin Ye arranged all twenty Spatial Bags properly.

Three bags stored various potions, totaling three hundred bottles, and not necessarily all consumed without renal failure.

Five bags stored various food, dry rations, and drinking water, to replenish during rest.

Two more bags for miscellaneous items.

The remaining ten Spatial Bags were for storing loot!

All these items combined cost over thirty thousand, adding the ten thousand spent on buying Spatial Bags, totaling over forty thousand.

"I need to make money as soon as possible!"

Looking at the balance of just over fifty thousand, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Over the past three years, he only spent twenty thousand, yet now in less than an hour, he had spent forty thousand.

With just over fifty thousand, acquiring a decent set of equipment was obviously not enough.

Currently, a lot of newcomers were entering the market, eager and anxious to make their mark.

The price of beginner's equipment had been driven to an extremely high level.

Ordinary Green Armor, usually one or two thousand, now wouldn't go for less than four or five thousand.

Better ones were even speculated to reach tens of thousands.

Lin Ye didn't plan to spend this unjustified money.

After all, even Healers with a full set of beginner's equipment might not have better healing effects than him.

"Lin Ye!"

At that moment, Lin Ye heard someone calling him.

Lin Ye turned to look, only to see Li Fei had arrived.

Behind Li Fei, three people followed, including Su Yaoyao!

Lin Ye couldn't help but squint his eyes...

Uninvited nuisances.
