Soul Sculptor.

A term that sounds quite mysterious and beautiful.

Unfortunately, Yun You hadn't heard much about it.

But it wasn't a big deal because as the middle-aged man began to confess, the Information Reconnaissance Chip had already displayed all the intel about the so-called "Soul Carving" in front of Yun You.

In the highly technologically advanced and capitalized world of Nest City, everything about a person has "value" that can be measured in terms of money and wealth.

Flesh, blood, and internal organs all have their uses.

The soul is naturally no exception.

The "Soul Slayer" project Yun You mentioned earlier is fictional because, in essence, this world has long surpassed the mere study of soul data, instead making human and animal souls utilitarian.

The souls of deceased strong individuals or monsters can be transformed into excellent weaponry, commonly referred to as—[Soul Carvings], which means exquisite carvings crafted from souls, possessing a high level of artistry.

Soul Carvings don't belong to the conventional prosthetic body equipment system, using grades like "civilian" or "police" is entirely unreasonable.

Although from a materials science perspective, Soul Carvings are neither as hard nor as flexible as alloys, they often possess extraordinary abilities.

Consider the middle-aged man with black eyes in front of Yun You; his ability to control spirit bodies relies entirely on the silver-grey wrist guard he's wearing.

This item was forged from the souls of 99 innocents, and to create this "masterpiece," the middle-aged man carried out a massacre in the hotel.

He slaughtered all the Mercenaries and gang members in the Jinyu Homestay, collected their souls, and used the spirit body of the front desk girl as the core, supplemented by exquisite smelting techniques, to barely create this expensive wrist guard "Soul Carving."

The effect is being able to control the spirit body of the front desk girl, manipulating her like a puppet to launch a spirit attack that is difficult for enemies to withstand.

Besides weapon-type Soul Carvings, some strong individuals' souls can also be made into special "memory-type Soul Carvings," allowing the user to acquire a skill at no cost.

As for the type of skill, it usually relates to the material of the Soul Carving, which is the souls that were transformed.

If the soul was a battle-hardened soldier, the skill it provides would typically be combat-related; if it was a cook or a nanny, then the skill would relate to everyday life.

In short, Soul Carvings often provide significant assistance, their effect comparable to expensive Cybernetic Prosthetics, making them quite popular.

And the Soul Sculptors who can produce Soul Carvings are highly respected, even among the proud community of Apprentice Death Gods, they hold a distinguished status.

However, the regret is that not everyone can become a Soul Sculptor.

As the middle-aged man said, only a very few individuals who can directly see spirit bodies... and those with strong perception abilities towards souls can become valuable Soul Sculptors.

Yun You is one of them, and the proof lies in her red eyes.

Due to the severe radiation problems in Nest City Lower City, both the water and air are filled with radioactive dust, causing some degree of mutation in many people.

Growing an extra hand, a third or even fourth eye on the forehead, lips splitting into several parts, is quite normal.

But among these mutations, there is one mutation that is particularly feared.

That is "Red Mutation."

It is said that in children subjected to excessive radiation, part of their bodies will gradually turn red during growth, showcasing a bizarre blood-like red.

It typically appears on the skin, with only a rare few manifesting in the facial features...

Although it has no effect on a person's overall attractiveness, sometimes even enhancing their exotic beauty, due to some old legends, people often regard children with Red Mutation as descendants of "monsters," fearing and rejecting them...

Yun You's eye "mutation" is one of the rarest cases of Red Mutation, and in some urban legends, such children are born as calamities to those around them.

But to be honest, these are just unsubstantiated rumors, completely unreliable.

However, some Soul Sculptors and internal documents from the Apprentice Death God community state that the Red Mutation, especially when occurring in the facial features or internal organs, is actually an excellent "atavistic" sign, indicating that the individual's body is reverting to an "unpolluted" ancestor, with purer souls.

Of course, this claim is also without basis, but Yun You's talent in the soul dimension is indeed outstanding, as she can see the spirit body of the front desk girl without any external aid.

This is something ordinary people cannot do.

And such a "talent" is the basic threshold for determining if one holds the qualification to become a Soul Sculptor.

It's for this reason that the middle-aged man wanted to make a move on Yun You because only excellent souls can craft more beautiful Soul Carvings.

[Soul Sculptor... it is indeed an interesting... and promising profession]

Master Zero muttered softly.

[Yun Zuai, if you really can become a Soul Sculptor, it would absolutely be a beneficial development for your future with no downsides]

[This profession is not as simple as you think, it can exponentially grow your connections and wealth... once you have achieved success, even Death Gods of higher status than you will have to respectfully greet you, addressing you as "Master Yun You"!]

"Uh... is it really that exaggerated?"

Yun You scratched her head.

In her impression, the community of Apprentice Death Gods always reveres strength, usually focusing only on hierarchy, ignoring other factors.

No matter how special Soul Sculptors are, they're essentially just a rare group of craftsmen, could they really transcend their own status and make high-status Apprentice Death Gods submit?

[Not exaggerated at all]

Master Zero explained earnestly.

[Do you know, Yun Zuai, even in the most chaotic times, there are two kinds of people who always manage to preserve themselves, earning respect from both allies and enemies]

[They are "Doctors" and "Craftsmen"]

[From the current situation, you probably won't make it as a life-saving doctor, it doesn't fit your violent nature... but becoming a Craftsman is quite good too]

[The number of Soul Sculptors is quite rare, even within the entire community of Apprentice Death Gods, probably only one in ten thousand of the lucky ones has the talent to become a Soul Sculptor]

[In all of Nest City No. 3, there are only about 50,000 Apprentice Death Gods, according to this ratio, the city's Apprentice Death God Soul Sculptors probably won't exceed the fingers of one hand, even including ordinary people's Soul Sculptors, it definitely won't exceed 100 people]

[There are only 100 Soul Sculptors, but the Apprentice Death Gods and Mercenaries who wish to possess Soul Carvings number in the millions, meaning that as long as a Soul Sculptor is willing, they can fully summon any one of the millions to fight for them, the reward only requiring a beautiful Soul Carving]
