Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Dumbfounded, Mengmeng looked at Li Yao, who was smiling so hard that his eyes were almost shut. The curiosity in her heart was unbearable like a cat’s w, she quickly asked, “What is it? Share it with us!”
Li Yao responded with: “This is a treasure worth a fortune. Take a good look, I didn’t expect it to be a drop in Beginner’s Vige.”
Fire Hawk Puppet Blueprint
Quality: Purple Epic
Allows you to learn how to craft the Fire Hawk Puppet after studying
Requirement: Intermediate Engineering
Dumbfounded and the Changeable Witch examined the blueprint. It was a purple epic level item, definitely a good thing.
But the questions were, what is the use of it after it is produced? They looked at each other, unable to understand.
“It’s a good thing, but is it only useful for the guild? Are you so happy about that?” the Changeable Witch couldn’t help but ask.
Li Yao coughed softly and said: “My engineering proficiency is about to hit intermediate level and it’s not even at 100 yet.”
“So what? Even if it’s useful for the guild, it would be in the future. Who would buy this puppet now? We don’t even have a base,” Dumbfounded exined to Li Yao.
“Don’t forget about my boss-level Titan’s Heart. When added during production, the produced Fire Hawk Puppet would be at boss level. It’s a boss.” Li Yao contentedly put the blueprint into his backpack.
“Even if it is a boss, are you nning to kill it and burst good stuff after creating it?” Dumbfounded’s eyes lit up instantly.
Li Yao quickly came to his senses, coughed lightly and said: “I am not an ordinary hunter. You should have seen the Arrow Tower and Exploding Sheep that I have deployed. I am a Mechanical Hunter.”
Dumbfounded tilted her head in thought, but the Changeable Witch responded instantly: “You mean, after you reach level ten, you can tame mechanical pets?”
Li Yao nodded, this wasn’t really a secret, unless he had a mechanical pet and didn’t use it.
Dumbfounded finally understood, but instead of being pleased, she frowned and said: “Is there no justice in the world? You’re already so overpowered, and when you hit level ten and have a boss pet, how are others supposed to survive? Big brother, listen to my advice, don’t aim too high,e back to normal. Even if you want to aim high, do it with us, you’ll be lonely on your own.”
Li Yao immediately flicked her head and said: “This is not impressive, it seems you all have misconceptions. In this game, there are billions invested at the start, then what, ten, or even hundreds of billions? Even if I have a boss pet, I won’t have the incremental stats like a boss when faced with a siege. How many yers can I defeat?
“I can see that every profession can be a hundred, a thousand, or a ten thousand man army. You just haven’t thought about it yet. For instance, your Shaman, who below level ten can use so many totems?”
While speaking, Li Yao looked at the Changeable Witch and continued: “And you, Witch, have you ever seen a Necromancer below level ten who can summon elite Skeleton Warriors? Your starting points are already higher than others’. As long as you use your current advantages well, you can always be ahead. Facing a hundred enemies really isn’t much.”
“Big brother is right, I want to be a ten thousand man army too!” Dumbfounded cheered, and then excitedly said: “Hurry, hurry, let’s look at the remaining items.”
Superior Handgun
Quality: Blue Excellent
Attack: 15-21
Strength: 9
Agility: 7
Level: 5
Equipment Requirements: Hunter
“The stats are so high,” Dumbfounded yed with the gun and said.
“Mhm, a very good weapon for hunters, suitable for beginners and closebat.” Li Yao hung the gun on his belt and put the big sword on his back into his bag.
The handgun is very suitable for beginner hunters as it is much easier to aimpared to a bow and arrow. However, the current guns made by engineering have a shorter range than bows and arrows, so Li Yao can’t use it as his main weapon.
But it qualifies as a secondary weapon, his previous secondary weapon was the Bronze Sword he got on the first day. The handgun is a one-handed weapon, so Li Yao can still equip another secondary weapon.
Bald Head Buster Armor
Quality: Blue Excellent
Model: Single Hand w
Attack: 18-22
Agility: 8
Intelligence: 8
Flying Wheel: Releases a spinning wheel to perform Armor Breaker effect, the wheel damage is 80% of the character’s damage, CD 15 seconds/ime.
Level: 5
Equipment Requirements: Druid, Shaman
“What a great thing!” Dumbfounded’s eyes lit up. She was still using a level two green weapon, which she had originally thought was very good, butpared to this level five blue weapon, it was simply trash.
“Warriors don’t have Armor Breaker skills now, plus AOE damage, this weapon is truly against the heavens.” The Changeable Witch nodded and said, “This weapon is top-tier.”
“Shamans can use it, let’s give it to Tonton.” Li Yao handed the Razorhead to Tonton.
The adorable Tonton did not ept it, her small face took on a seriousness as she said, “Big Brother, I want you to understand something.”
Li Yao was surprised and said, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
“I’m following you because I think you’re a good person, reliable, and your skills are impressive. You’re a worthwhile partner. I’m not following you for the equipment, you need to understand that.” Tonton exined seriously: “If I really wanted good equipment, I could acquire blue equipment myself too. I just find it interesting to fight for it with my own two hands.”
The Changeable Witch said, “Yes, we’re searching for teammates to form a party, not lusting after your equipment. This blue equipment is too precious, we consider ourselves as experts too, we have the right to share the spoils of the boss fight with you, but this one is yours alone, we won’t take it, it would change the nature of our rtionship.”
Tonton nodded her head in agreement, continuing, “I know Big Brother is very powerful, but consider this: if we found a bunch of powerful yers, wouldn’t we be able to challenge tougher bosses and secure more profits? That’s the reason we want to y with you.”
Li Yao nodded, saying: “Alright, I apologize for my behavior earlier.”
Truthfully, Li Yao hadn’t really cared about the blue equipment, but what
Tonton and the others said made sense. He couldn’t do everything by himself. What he had said earlier was conservative, what’s worth being a one-man army? Each world-ss boss, as long as they appear in the open, could be considered a one-million man enemy.
“Fine, then let’s aim to challenge harder bosses.” Dimwit Tonton extended her hand: “Let’s officially form a team. Big brother will be the team leader, I’ll temporarily be the healer, and Witch Sister will be the main damage dealer.”
“Okay.” Li Yao extended his hand, they were indeed excellent yers, and they didn’t belong to any guild or team.
The Changeable Witch looked at Li Yao withplex eyes, slowly cing her hand on top of his, the shape of a small irregr team had begun forming.
“Ah, isn’t it nice? Now I also belong to a group, I don’t have to be with those dumb-dumbs anymore, hahaha.” Dimwit Tonton ced her hands on her hips andughed boastfully.
Li Yao and the Changeable Witch exchanged amused smiles, Tonton really had a childlike nature.
The three of them continued to inspect the spoils of their victory.
Noble Rapier
Quality: Blue-grade (Excellent)
Type: Single-handed rapier
Attack: 12-17
Strength: 7
Agility: 6
Sudden Strike: Launch a concentrated strike with all your strength, dealing
200% damage and causing a bleeding effect, the damage equals to 30% of the strike’s damage, CDI minute
Equipment Requirements: Warrior, Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue, Pdin
This piece of equipment’s attack isn’t high, but its skill effect is powerful. Li Yao didn’t hesitate to hang it on the other end of his belt. Now his secondary weapons were a handgun and a rapier.
What’s left was a Skill Book, Corpse Explosion.
Both the Death Knight and Necromancer can learn this skill. Of course, the skill’s effects would differ depending on the job ss learning it. Death Knights can only detonate the corpses of the goblin eaters they summon, whereas Necromancers can detonate any creature’s corpse, regardless if it’s an ally or enemy.
This is a powerful AOE skill. For Necromancers, if they don’t know Corpse Explosion, they can’t be considered as a qualified Necromancer. At the beginning, Corpse Explosion was a very scarce skill.
What was left were three green equipment. Li Yao didn’t even bother looking at the specific attributes, he equipped those suitable for him and put the unsuitable ones in his bag. Green equipment was no longer as significant an upgrade to him as it was in the beginning.
Now it was the Changeable Witch’s turn to be envious. She pondered before speaking, “Could you hold onto this Skill Book for me for a day? I know you probably won’t sell it for money and you want to exchange it for something of use. Give me some time, and I’ll exchange it for something that Hunters can
use.”
Dimwit Tonton chimed in, “Also, hold onto Shaman’s weapon for me for a day,
I want to exchange for that too.”
“We’re future teammates, this is a small matter.” Li Yao distributes the two items to the two people saying, “Take it this time, don’t refuse. Consider it my test of you. Recognizing a future teammate with an item, it’s a fair deal.”
The Changeable Witch didn’t say anything, but she was clear in her heart, there’s no way she could swindle Li Yao.
Dimwit Tonton immediately equipped her weapon, her eyes gleaming with joy. This was both the joy of receiving something she liked and the joy that came from Li Yao’s trust in her.
“Big Brother, we’ve finished looking at the equipment. What’re your leveling ns? Is there another location where we can farm mobs?” Dimwit Tonton clearly wanted to continue farming mobs, particrly now that the three of them were even more powerful.
Li Yao thought for a moment before saying, “Normal leveling is too slow, and I’ve acquired a lot of metal ingots today. I’ll need quite some time to practice engineering, to raise my proficiency to an intermediate level. After that, I’ll craft the Mechanical Firehawk. I won’t be leveling today.”
“That’s fine then, we’ve gained a lot more experience than those dumb-dumbs anyway. I won’t be leveling today too, I’ll practice my two secondary jobs. Does Big Brother have any rmendations?” Dimwit Tonton asked.
“I think it’s best to have one Alchemist, they can craft potions and jewelry, it’s pretty good.” Li Yao thought for a moment before continuing, “The other job doesn’t really matter, Engineering is okay too but it’s not rmended. If you want toplement our team, it’s best to gather herbs, don’t underestimate gathering herbs. You have to know that if our team is powerful enough to enter more dangerous areas, the herbs there won’t be anything ordinary.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Big Brother. One Alchemy, one Herbalism. I’ll take care of the potions in the team from now on.” Dimwit Tonton confidently dered.
After parting ways, Li Yao did not go to the shop, but instead donned his cloak with his sights set on his own mine.
He had his own private charging room there, fully equipped with tools and the key was in his possession. No one could enter without him.
Making the Firehawk was crucial, he didn’t want to cause a spectacle and be disturbed….
