Chapter 539 - A Lot More Needed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I need some top quality equipment...”
“I need a lot more top quality equipment...”
“Not enough... Still not enough... Find more!”
Something was going on in the Auction House. Tens of thousands of trashy Purple Quality equipment on display were all bought by the same player.
This event stirred a huge sensation as it left players guessing who was so generous and why they spent so much to purchase high-grade equipment.
There were some who guessed it was Brother Nine for a very simple reason — Brother Nine was loaded.
Of course, there were some who did not think it was him. Brother Nine may be loaded but he would not purchase a pile of equipment unusable to him.
There were also theories that some super major guild has entered Pantheon and that equipment was to arm their members.
There were many theories that came with it. There was even a conspiracy theorist player who guessed this was the doing of the System to adjust inventory prices and was secretly retracting these equipment.
Of course, no one really knew the truth except for the party who bought the equipment.
“I need a lot more top quality equipment...”
“I need more top quality equipment...”
Back in Invincible Continent, in the fanciest, most luxurious residence in the poshest area of Celestial Capital, Li Yi was about to lose his marbles.
Hunter Goddess was hovering in midair as she shook her head at Li Yi.
“Not enough, far from enough. I need more top quality equipment...”
Those high-level trashy Purple Quality equipment in the Auction House was all bought by Li Yi alone for the sake of upgrading his Orange Quality Bow and this was the request of Hunter Goddess.
With frost materials collected in full, Li Yi asked Hunter Goddess when they could begin refining Inextinguishable Tinder and this Hunter Goddess has the audacity to tell him she needed a lot of top quality equipment as an extractor to fully dissolve Inextinguishable Tinder.
Although the current Orange Quality Bow absorbed most of the frost materials, diminishing the time restriction on it, its attributes were no different than before apart from its unlimited durability.
So if he wished to see the attributes improved, he has to get his hands on the equipment required by Hunter Goddess. What a bottomless pit...
The Orange Quality Bow showed no reaction from even one high-level trashy Purple Quality equipment. The surface of the bow glimmered ever so slightly from consuming ten high-level Purple Quality equipment.
Not enough, far from it...
Hunter Goddess’ tiny mouth had already engulfed 39,786 equipment...
Li Yi has already bought all the Purple Quality equipment from both the Auction House and Sea Island’s Trading Center yet he has yet to be able to refine Inextinguishable Tinder.
The only matter that left Li Yi feeling a little comforted was that the image of Hunter Goddess was growing clearer. By the looks of it, she could potentially turn into something substantial.
Would the attributes of Orange Quality Bow heighten from the transformation from transparent image to a substantial form?
There was no doubt about the answer.
Li Yi stood up and caressed Hunter Goddess’ dainty hand. Although Hunter Goddess has yet to fully transformed, Li Yi could already touch her.
“Goddess, you have quite the appetite.”
“Not enough, far from enough...”
Li Yi sighed, “Give me a number.”
Hunter Goddess thought about it before shaking her head, “I’m not sure myself, but...
“If you could hand your body of equipment to me, I think... It should be enough.”
“Go to hell!”
Li Yi raised his hand to slap Hunter Goddess’ white ass. Smack smack smack smack! Four slaps whipped Hunter Goddess’ image out of shape.
Apart from Tier 2 Equipment, any one of Li Yi’s body of equipment was worth at least a million Gold Coins. They were a world of difference from those trashy Purple Quality equipment and his equipment. Tens of thousands of trashy Purple Quality equipment could not even match to a single piece of his currently equipped arsenal.
“I really need to get more equipment,” Li Yi cupped his chin as he tried to figure out a way to obtain a large amount of trashy Purple Quality equipment.
It would be a good idea to source them from the alliance as just a holler would land him thousands of Purple Quality equipment. However, with the number of alliance members rising steadily, they were also in need of equipment. This would place the alliance in a dilemma so it was better that he think of something else.
Li Yi contacted his good friends, Chen Yang, Flower Underpants, Confused Fox, Shangguan Bailu, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, etc to tell them his need for Purple Quality equipment and to mail over any surplus Purple Quality equipment they had on them.
He only sent the message to his friends without informing the alliance. Soon, Li Yi’s mail was beeping nonstop.
An hour later, Li Yi collected over three hundred Purple Quality equipment and amongst them were a few exquisite equipment with decent attributes and special skills.
Li Yi then handed over these equipment to Hunter Goddess. Watching as she refined them with both her hands, the surface of Orange Quality bow soon perceived another change after these over three hundred Purple Quality equipment were sucked dry.
A graph of golden flames appeared at each end of the bow. At first glance, they seemed to be burning in flames and a scorching feeling could be felt upon contact.
“Just a little bit more. I need better quality equipment. Young man, please help me find...”
This time, Hunter Goddess stopped talking about needing a lot more equipment which left Li Yi in a better mood.
The Auction House did not have much Purple Quality equipment left but Li Yi came up with a plan.
He ran back to the Auction House to purchase a large number of materials to refine into weapons before heading to Little Drunk Cat Guild’s map to seek Snickersnee for refinement.
Snickersnee had reached Epic-level in his forging abilities and given the required material, he could easily refine Purple Quality equipment.
Just one step away from Legendary-level, this was the ability of Little Drunk Cat Guild’s famous Ironsmith Master, Snickersnee!
Clang clang clang clang...
Snickersnee received the materials from Li Yi and began hammering without questions asked. He was purely a lifestyle-class player who never farmed monsters to level up but his current level was respectable, having reached Level 100 for a long while now.
EXP could be gained when refining weapons and even fishing. In King of Pantheon, even a pure lifestyle-class player could level up as fast as a battle-type player.
As long as there was perseverance.
Of course, a pure lifestyle-class player who hammered all day long, day after day like Snickersnee was a rare find...
In just two minutes, a purple giant sword was forged. Checking the attributes, Snickersnee curled his lips into a smile before tossing it at Li Yi.
[Mountain-splitting Sword]
[Equipment requirement: 500 STR and 82 carrying capacity]
This blade has a normal ATK but an Armor Strip skill was added at the back, making it suitable for the Warrior class.
Top-grade!
Clang clang clang clang...
In another two minutes, another Purple Quality giant sword was forged. Snickersnee took a look before smiling and tossing it at Li Yi again.
Compared to Mountain-splitting Sword, this blade’s ATK has an additional 200 points but did not have any special skills. There were only two ordinary special effects.
Still, it would suffice.
Clang clang clang...
historical
Snickersnee wielded his great hammer like a robot. Li Yi was watching with eagerness in the beginning and started to yawn as time passed.
To refine weapons day after day like this really was something...
Li Yi was impressed with Snickersnee. If it were him, he would not be able to pull it off.
When it came to gaming, there was no need for luck or technique. As long as one has the perseverance, they could do well in the game.
Bored out of his wits, Li Yi took out some herbs to refine potions. His Apothecary level was almost at Epic level. Although he was still far from Legendary level, as long as he persevered, it would not be long for him to achieve it.
Clang clang clang clang...
Seven hours later, Li Yi became listless from potion refinery that he sat by Snickersnee and dozed off.
The virtual environment in King of Pantheon was so realistic that one could do basically anything in it. If one wanted to lay their head down, they would sleep like the same they would in real life.
Snickersnee had forged no less than a hundred weapons of this kind at this point, all being Mountain-splitting Swords. The top grade ones were not much different from the ones with standard regular attributes.
Li Yi gave Snickersnee the thumbs up, “You’re awesome. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the No. 1 Legendary Weapons Master is born.”
Seeing that Li Yi was awake, Snickersnee hammered on while answering, “I looked into the official web and found that to be a Legendary Weapon Master, it’s not just about mastery and perseverance, I need to refine a God-tiered weapon. No matter how I tried, the highest I got is Epic level.”
Li Yi continued, “It’s not easy to create a God-tiered weapon. You must have sufficient mastery and second, you need a God-tiered Weaponry Refinery Blueprints. The third, well, luck is must have because the chances to refine a God-tiered weapon is fairly slim.”
“Hehe, I know. The biggest obstacle is finding that God-tiered Weaponry Refinery Blueprint.”
“If I get my hands on one, I’ll give it to you.”
“Hehe, alright.”
Clang clang clang clang...
The machinery-like hammering continued on as Snickersnee never stopped once for a break.
In the Auction House, high-level Purple Quality equipment remained scarce but the materials to refine such equipment were in abundance. As long as one has cash, they could purchase as much as they liked.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye and by then, Snickersnee had refined over 2,000 Mountain-splitting Swords.
Among the bunch of 2,000 Mountain-splitting Swords, there was one that reached the ATK limit of 500+ with two legendary special effects and skills. This sword could be considered an uber legendary weapon.
If he were to sell this Mountain-splitting Sword, Li Yi would receive a third of his money back from his purchase on materials.
As Snickersnee has no use for it, nor Li Yi, the sword was placed in auction and in a short span of a minute, it was bought off.
The buyer did not hide her name. It was The Cat that Sings.
An hour later, this exquisite Mountain-splitting Sword landed in Scumbag Wang’s hands.
