Chapter 198: Forging Together
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The meeting ended on a good note, accepting Positive Barry and all the members with open arms.
After this matter was settled, Li Yi said that he was a little tired and went offline.
He got up from the game pod, cooked something to eat, and sat alone in the empty room.
Other than the television playing in the background, there was no other sound in the entire room.
There was no more laughter in his ears, only the hollowness that Li Yi felt. There was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
He even began to miss the life where everyone talked and laughed in the Carefree Station.
Although it was not real, it made Li Yi feel happy.
Li Yi put down the food in his hands, changed into his going out clothes, and walked around the noisy street.
Although it was late at night, there were still a few pedestrians on the road, there were even some passers-by who were ing out of a small restaurant.
Most of them were in groups of three or five, with drunken looks on their faces.
They were wearing suits with loosened ties, their arms around their shoulders, and they hummed out-of-tune ballads.
Their bodies reeked of alcohol, and they smoked as they wandered at the intersection of red and green lights.
They had just finished having dinner and drinking with their good friends after work.
Everyone wanted more, but their wallets could not offer more.
They had no choice but to take it to the streets.
Li Yi walked on the side of the road, looking at them from a distance.
Those players were being impolite. They would look at the beautiful women on the other side of the road with hungry eyes. Then, they would whisper to their friends and tease them about their costumes.
One of the men said all kinds of dirty words, but it made his friends laugh out loud.
It was clearly vulgar and rude.
Witnessing this, Li Yi thought back to when he was still in college.
He and his friends used to go to internet cafes together, and afterleave, they would always plain about their studies and their teachers.
Then, they would walk along the roadside with cigarettes in their mouths. When they walked past beautiful women, they would all have dirty thoughts.
Of course, these were only the few of them who thought about it and the rest were trying to talk their way out of it.
Now, other than playing Divine Revelation every day, Li Yi had nowhere else to go.
If he were to really think about it, the only place he often goes to is probably a supermarket to restock his meals.
Li Yi stood at the intersection and looked around, but he could not think of a place to go.
“Forget it, I should just go home and sleep.”
After waking up, he returned to Divine Revelation that suited him more than real life. At least there were still players waiting for him there.
In the blink of an eye, dawn broke.
The sun was still shining.
After filling his stomach, he sat back in the gaming pod.
After entering the game, he appeared at the Carefree Station once again.
Many of his panions had already moved around in the station. Among them, the one who got up the earliest was Inpetent Pig.
He worked tirelessly every day. However, his progress was still very slow.
The main reason was that there were many lifestyle players in the station, and the supply of materials was always in short supply.
In order to save money, Snow Chaser set a fixed quota for each person to practice every day. After using the materials, he would have no more to practice on.
This rule was mainly aimed at Inpetent Pig. Before the rule was made, he used to finish up twice as many materials as other players every day.
When Snow Chaser found out about this, she was furious. He was going to empty Carefree Station’s savings. How could she let him do that?
She immediately set a new rule and even scolded Inpetent Pig. The only reply he had to defend himself was that he did now know the high cost of the materials.
This made Inpetent Pig feel wronged but he had no other choice. Therefore, he used the only materials he had carefully every day. He dared not to waste them at all.
When Li Yi asked about Inpetent Pig’s progress, he found out that he was only at a 50% mark.
This did not exceed Li Yi’s expectations, and it was much slower than he had imagined.
He had personally given Inpetent Pig the best forging technique. Logically speaking, this progress should have been faster.
At this time, Positive Barry appeared.
“Hey, good thing I bumped into the both of you. I have something for you two.”
“For the both of us?”
When he heard that someone was looking for him, Inpetent Pig was a little surprised. This was the first time in so long that someone had taken the initiative to look for him.
He was even a little bit delighted getting attention.
“What’s so important? Is someone looking for you?”
Li Yi was not in a good mood. Positive Barry could already be hunted by people, and Li Yi was not prepared for that.
“Don’t worry. Before the time es, no one will be looking for me.”
“When would that be?”
Positive Barry smiled silently and did not answer. Changing the subject, he only held the hammer in his hand and gave it to Inpetent Pig.
“Take this hammer, and also this.”
Positive Barry took out another item that looked like a ticket from his backpack.
Inpetent Pig took a look at it.
[Duplicate Rune Ticket: Can duplicate equipment skills onto another equipment.]
[Requirement: Blacksmith ]
[Note: This ticket is a one-time use item, and there is a chance of failure.]
After seeing it, Inpetent Pig immediately shook his head.
“No, no, there is a chance of failure. What If I fail?”
“I’ve seen your craftsmanship. I believe you. Even if you fail, I’ll chalk it up to being unlucky.”
“What kind of equipment are you planning to copy the hammer’s skill into? How about I make you perfect-grade equipment instead?”
Li Yi was very familiar with this item. It was practically priceless. The success rate would be related to the grade patibility of the weapon. For example, the perfect-grade weapon could only be transferred to the perfect-grade weapon. There was a 50% chance of success.
The greater the difference between the two weapon grades, the lower the success rate.
In order to increase the success rate, there were other methods to increase the probability besides having the same grade.
It was to increase the level of the person who would forge the weapon.
Having a 100% proficiency would not lead to a failure rate.
50% could only increase the success rate by 10%.
Therefore, Li Yi took this matter very seriously as well.
Positive Barry shook his head and pointed at the demonic sword on Li Yi’s back.
“I want to copy that.”
Li Yi’s eyes were shocked.
“No!”
“Nothing is impossible. I’ve already decided on it. I won’t stop until you try.”
Li Yi originally wanted to say something, but he saw Positive Barry’s determined gaze.
He understood that this had to be done, or else it would be for naught.
“Alright, go on then.”
Li Yi took out Deaths Descent, and the aura of death on it was instantly wrapped over the whole area. It carried waves of cold air, making the players’s scalps go numb.
Inpetent Pig looked at the demonic sword and wanted to touch it, but he snapped his hand back from the coldness of it.
“Hey… I don’t think I can touch it.”
“Ah! What should I do?”
Li Yi looked at the demonic sword in his hand and fell into deep thought.
“Is it possible for us to forge together?”
“Forge together?”
“Yes, forge together.”
They had never tried forging together before.
It was extremely difficult for two players to forge a weapon together.
The two of them had to have a tacit understanding.
Their techniques had to be equally accurate. Any slight difference would affect the quality of the weapon.
The reason why Li Yi suggested this was because the demonic sword could only be held by Li Yi. However, Li Yi was not a blacksmith, so he did not have the right to duplicate it.
The duplication had to be done by Inpetent Pig.
Fortunately, the two of them used the same forging method, and both had a 50% proficiency in forging.
Therefore, there was an opportunity for them to forge together.
