Chapter 103 Ancient Dragon Teeth Giant Stick!
[‘Forging skill improvement scroll’ (skill prop), a skill improvement scroll dropped by an unknown blacksmith. Using this item, the forging skill of the body can be upgraded by one quality, up to the epic level. 】
[Spiritual value: 1000]
Lin Xun's eyes lit up. Using this prop for the blacksmith, wouldn't it save 20,000 points in manufacturing costs?
Then something felt wrong again.
How come this prop is sold so cheaply? Even the valuation given by the underworld game is 1,000.
In the entire trading panel, there is only this one similar prop.
"I can't care so much, buy it first and then talk about it!"
Lin Xun thought that there might be a bug in the Underworld game. The suggested price of the item was wrongly marked, and the seller conveniently sold it at the suggested price.
With either quick hands or slow hands, he bought this prop quickly.
[You spent 1,000 spiritual points and successfully purchased the ‘Forging Skills Improvement Scroll’! 】
Click on the prop to use it.
[You used the ‘Forging Skills Improvement Scroll’...]
[Your ‘master-level forging skills’ are upgraded to ‘grandmaster-level forging skills’! 】
When you open the panel, you can see that the blacksmith's forging skills have changed.
[Body skills: Grandmaster level forging skills (epic level), forging skills passed down from generation to generation in the blacksmith family, skills honed by tens of thousands of hammer forgings, and have undergone some incredible improvement. This skill can be used to forge epic-level and lower-quality shell equipment. 】
"There's nothing wrong with this prop. Is it really the game of Netherworld that marked the wrong price?"
Then he opened the Apostle Forum and tried to find the price of similar items.
After searching for a long time, he found that the price was not wrong, but that the prop was only worth this price.
Because in the game, NPCs such as blacksmiths and craftsmen are a very special type of NPCs.
They have blacksmithing skills and can manufacture, repair, and strengthen equipment. They are rare logistics skills.
If the apostle can easily kill them and possess them, it will greatly disrupt the balance of the game.
Therefore, the NPCs in the game that are similar to blacksmiths are either extremely high-level human NPCs that the apostles cannot defeat at all.
Or it's an inhuman NPC.
In most game worlds, plot characters such as blacksmiths are set as non-human NPCs, making it impossible for apostles to possess them.
Even if the apostle becomes angry and kills the NPC, the probability of something exploding is extremely small.
Because of this, the apostles cannot do without the ‘Artisan’s Book’ in the library.
This skill prop called 'Blacksmithing Skill Improvement Scroll' is probably a prop dropped by a lucky person after killing the blacksmith.
But there is no apostle that can possess the blacksmith in the game, so there will be no forging skills.
Therefore, there is no market for this 'precious' prop, and it can only be sold for 1,000 spiritual points, or even 1,000 spiritual points.
However, when encountering a player like Lin Xun whose talent can be called a bug, props for improving forging skills become useless.
It's a pity that this is the only one in the similar item trading panel.
Perhaps it is because the apostles all know that there is basically no profit from killing a blacksmith, so they rarely become a blacksmith.
Lin Xun grinned and spent 12,000 to buy the 'Advanced Adjustment Magic Array' in the Book of Transactions.
Click on the blacksmith's forging skill, select manufacturing equipment, and select all the materials mentioned in the 'Artisan's Book'...
[Equipment manufacturing in progress...]
The article of the game is stuck at this point. Lin Xun is not surprised and waits patiently.
It took me until 12 o'clock in the night for the game text to change.
[Equipment manufacturing successful! 】
[You have obtained the ‘Ancient Dragon Teeth Club’ (epic weapon)! 】
[‘Ancient dragon tooth giant stick’ (epic-level weapon): It is made of ‘giant branches of primitive ancient trees’ as the main body, with ‘subspecies dragon teeth’ inlaid on the top of the giant stick. 】
[The canine teeth on the stick are intertwined, with sharp ‘wolf dog fangs’ and densely packed ‘black giant worm fangs’. 】
[The entire giant rod weighs ten thousand tons, is thick and ferocious, and is far beyond the reach of most people. Under the influence of the 'Advanced Adjustment Magic Array', the giant stick can be large or small, flexible and stretchable, and can be retracted and retracted freely. Very suitable for use with bodies that can change body shape. 】
Lin Xun looked at the weapon with bright eyes.
He tried listing the weapon in the Book of Trade to see the weapon's suggested retail price.
As a result, the price of this weapon was 140,000, which was slightly lower than 30,000 yuan of the 'Thunder Dragon Rod Gun'.
Looking at the long series of zeros, he suddenly came up with the idea of forging full-time and selling weapons and equipment to make a fortune.
Browse the materials in the Book of Trade carefully, and then compare them with the Book of Artisans.
He pondered for a long time and found that most manufactured weapons were cheaper than those original weapons.
Moreover, the value of the materials used to make weapons faintly exceeds the selling price of the weapon itself.
If a hand-forged weapon can be sold for 100,000 yuan, then the forging materials alone will exceed the 100,000 yuan figure, not counting the craftsmanship fee.
"How to calculate, how to lose money."
Think about it, manufacturing equipment is tailor-made for your body.
For me, the customized equipment is very strong, but for other apostles, its applicability is not as good as those native weapons.
For example, Lin Xun's 'Ancient Dragon Teeth Giant Stick' has the body of an earth giant, and the giant stick can expand and contract at will as the giant's size changes, thus exerting the full power of the giant stick.
But if other apostles use this weapon, its power will be greatly reduced.
"The dream of getting rich suddenly was shattered... It's not right either. Maybe I can do forging for others and only charge half of the crafting fee of the underworld game. However, there are many shortcomings in this idea, which needs to be considered in the long run..."
Opening the inventory, there are five materials left, two of which are powerful materials that will definitely generate special effects, namely the 'Filthy Tree of Life Seedling' and the 'Colorful Poison Powder Gland'.
The shadow of these two materials does not appear in the manufacturing drawings generated by the 'Artisan's Book' just now, perhaps because they do not fit the weapons.
Lin Xun studied for a while and found that making epic equipment requires five high-level materials, and only one of the materials that must generate special effects can be used.
In other words, he wanted to make another epic piece of equipment, but he still needed one more material.
Looking at the 13,000 spiritual points in his pocket, Lin Xun wondered if he should sell some extra equipment.
Try to hang the 'Orc Chief's Scepter' on the Book of Trade.
The Book of Trade gives a suggested price of 8,000 for this rare weapon.
After looking at the prices of rare weapons, they generally range from seven to eight thousand to just over ten thousand.
This weapon is too huge, so it may not be easy to sell. It may not even cost 8,000.
Lin Xun directly listed the item according to the price of the underworld game.
There are four pieces of normal + level equipment left in the inventory, including three weapons and one damaged armor.
They are the 'Two-Handed Knight Sword', 'Ultra-High Voltage Energy Storage Stun Gun', 'Mountain Monster Leg Bone Short Staff' and 'Heavy Metal Plate Armor'.
After looking at the prices, they were all between three hundred and five hundred.
"Mosquito meat is also meat..."
Hang up all these junk equipment and wait for new apostles to appear and buy them.
Lin Xun explored the functions of the Book of Transactions and the Book of Craftsmen.
Then he walked towards the librarian again.
[The librarian’s eyes are full of kindness and he whispers to you that he has some special props here that maybe you will like. 】
Several props pop up in the game text, and the first one is 'Invade Bookmark'!
Lin Xun looked at the words "Invasion Bookmark" and couldn't help but remember that he also had an awesome piece of exclusive equipment that needed to be unlocked through Invasion PK...
There are a lot of settings in these two books, but the author had to write them for logic and follow-up development. If you don't like them, you can skip them and just watch the protagonist strengthen himself.
