Chapter 131: Chapter 99: A Fresh Start (Part 2)
As soon as Li Ang appeared, people crowded around him. Although the appointnt was in the afternoon, so had waited from morning to evening. Upon seeing him, they imdiately inquired about placing orders, only to leave disappointed after being refused.
Dorothy’s eyes twinkled: "So, crafting equipnt is in high demand, huh?"
"Is it very difficult to learn?"
Zoe, after entering, had been listening to the various shouts and bids surrounding the artisans, with flattering smiles on their faces, as if realizing sothing.
"It seems like Li Ang always crafts equipnt with ease?"
"It’s very hard." ALulu said earnestly, in her childish voice: "We have to travel far to ask a blacksmith to make equipnt, then help with the slting, and often end up creating useless products."
"But Li Ang always gets it right the first ti," Zoe said.
Andasu frowned, at this mont she put back on her mask, looking handso like a young boy again.
With a sigh, she said: "So you really are unaware of your own good fortune."
"What do you an by that?" Zoe asked.
ALulu said: "She ans that we are very fortunate but don’t realize it ourselves."
Zoe thought for a mont, then said: "I don’t get it, I never considered this issue."
"I’m aware of my fortune," Dorothy looked at Li Ang, who was stoking the fire and firing up the furnace: "It’s because I know he’s so good that I can’t help myself."
Andasu shook her head: "I don’t understand."
"Li Ang is indeed wonderful," ALulu said.
"Hmm?" Dorothy and Zoe turned to stare at the young girl from the Ox Race: "How is he wonderful? Tell us quickly."
"Can you be quiet for a bit?"
Li Ang stopped them.
Even though each wore cloaks that covered most of their faces, their chitter-chatter in the black market, wholly at odds with its usual atmosphere, still drew a lot of attention.
Li Ang rummaged through the stack of materials, picking out so large and relatively hard materials.
Zoe curiously asked: "What are you making?"
"A shield."
Li Ang held a ruler, asuring the height of the Horned Race young girl: "First, I’m updating ALulu’s weapon configuration."
"I-I haven’t used one before," ALulu was a bit flustered.
Today, Li Ang made her wear nothing again because he couldn’t stand that pile of low-quality armor. However, her top was just small pieces of fabric that could not cover the critical areas, so he draped a cloak over her to conceal the exaggerated body.
"It’s okay, I’ll make sure you have equipnt that relies on your strength, no practice needed to use it well."
Hearing this, the other three said nothing, while Andasu raised an eyebrow.
The variety of materials acquired in the previous trade was extensive, and Li Ang quickly found enough.
He selected the Blueprint: Fine Shield.
Confird materials added: [Rugged Shell] [Land Crocodile Shattered Scale] [Red Spot Sand Brick] [Shield Armor Dragon Head Shell].
Li Ang, skillfully and thodically, set to work, hamring iron ingots, grinding materials... before long, the shield was finished.
Defeat of the Siege Beast
A shield forged from Rough Demonic Material. These demons, fond of relying on their own tough skins to breach people’s crude city walls, could only add to their defeats in front of their own hard scale armor.
Tier: 3
Category: Shield
Equipnt Skill: Immovable
With the Shield Armor Dragon Head Shell at its center, and the shell of the Sandstone Spiral Turtle along with the shattered scales of the Tier Four Demon, Giant Land Crocodile, laid out in circles on the shield’s surface, the proper configuration allowed it to absorb shocks extraordinarily well, while the hardened protrusions from various demon materials added significant power to its blows.
The shield was also visually pleasing; the combination of different materials displayed the desert area’s colors and highlighted the demon’s wild nature.
The mont the shield debuted, the weapon house was abuzz again, rchants who knew Li Ang were half in awe of the shield’s grandeur, half cautiously questioning his choice.
The entire shield was a head shorter than ALulu, and its width slightly exceeded that of a conventional giant shield, making it appear difficult to wield.
Andasu also raised the sa question: "Can this girl even lift it?"
Li Ang gestured for ALulu to equip the shield, the pink-haired girl gripped the handle on the back with her seemingly short arm waving it around freely, the once heavy shield flipping through the air like paper in her hand.
"Hey, hey, what’s going on? Is that shield hollow?"
"Isn’t she actually a child? But so short-statured barbarian warrior?"
The people around were astounded.
She indeed is a child, Li Ang thought, it’s just that you all cannot possibly understand.
Witnessing this, Andasu’s eyes flickered slightly.
ALulu put the shield down and said: "It’s quite light, though using it makes wielding a sword awkward."
"I know," Li Ang nodded.
He had already considered this point; due to the Horned Race young girl’s monster strength, she didn’t need to, like regular sword and shield warriors, seek angles of attack while defending.
The broad, solid shield coupled with her divine power could itself serve as a powerful blunt weapon, balancing attack and defense.
She rely needed to use the shield to absorb attacks that ordinary defenders couldn’t, dealing with normal attacks by simply slamming the shield forward should suffice.
As for her weapon, of course, it would not be a choice involving swords that needed precision and technique.
Li Ang picked materials again, proceeding with crafting.
He selected the Blueprint: Fine Large Hamr.
Confird materials added: [Sand Rhinoceros Horn] [Land Crocodile Broken Finger] [Shield Armor Dragon Head Shell] [Stone Scraping Claw].
Li Ang secured the angular and spiked demon materials together, creating a heavy hamr that looked as if it bared countless fangs.
Barbaric Shattering Strike
The ultimate manifestation of the Earth Demon’s brutal side, enemies without defensive skills crumbled before it at first touch.
Tier: 3
Category: Dual Handed Hamr
Equipnt Skill: Tearing
ALulu intensely focused on the weapon akin to a giant wolfsbane, cautiously grasping the hamr’s handle as if receiving a brand new toy.
After casually swinging it twice, her pale purple eyes brightened, instantly wielding the giant hamr with one hand, stirring up a fierce wind.
The little girl’s smile grew increasingly delighted, and everyone nearby was worriedly amazed, even Zoe, watching the beast horns and sharp claws protrude from the giant hamr, appeared sowhat withdrawn.
If her grip slipped, or intentionally hamred soone, it would likely end crushing them into minced at on the spot.
Li Ang told ALulu: "Now you don’t have to worry about breaking the sword; what you should worry about is not smashing the enemy out of shape."
Even he hadn’t anticipated this weapon taking on a tearing skill, as a hamr should typically be a blunt instrunt.
"And you don’t have to think about how the sword blade will inflict effective damage or prevent chipping it. You can attack from any angle, just slam the hamrhead forward."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh," ALulu nodded repeatedly.
Dorothy was relieved: "Oh, thank goodness."
Zoe ran over and stroked the Barbaric Shattering Strike, feeling fond of this wild-style piece herself.
If she happened to let it slip or intentionally aid it at sothing, it might turn soone into a puddle of flesh on the ground.
Li Ang focused on ALulu’s monster strength while considering her needs for the new equipnt.
"Alright, saving ti, next step is making armor for ALulu," Li Ang said.
Looking at the pink-haired girl’s figure, it was actually quite a challenge.
Her physical stats were exceedingly overlimit, so that he had to repeatedly calm his thoughts while considering.
Given her steam-engine-like physique, she didn’t quite require leg armor like a normal sword and shield warrior who defended and sought offensive angles simultaneously.
A wide and sturdy shield, combined with her divine power, could act as both a powerful offensive and defensive weapon in itself.
For her lower body, since her physique was like a steam engine, he didn’t plan to create fully enclosed leg guards but instead fashioned a skirt armor with desert beast leather short shorts underneath.
The greatest challenge was undoubtedly dealing with those surging, prominent aspects of her physicality.
He considered the materials at hand and eventually made up his mind.
