Chapter 978: Chapter 978 chanical Bow Chapter 978: Chapter 978 chanical Bow Li Yao checked the ID, Sumr Breeze, and wondered for a mont, but had no impression of the na; he shook his head, for he had no recollection of this na from his previous life.
Moreover, in his previous life, the main quest had been completed by so old grandpa, who was also a hardcore veteran player ranking high within the neutral camp’s senior guild.
Li Yao thought to himself that it seed he had finally brought about many subtle changes.
In fact, Li Yao had considered having his own guild undertake this task, but on the one hand the guild was busy with construction, and on the other, securing the task relied on not just strength but also luck.
Although Li Yao knew the process of the main quest, he didn’t know exactly how one obtained the task.
“Over here.” It was still that pleasant voice, which was quite unique.
Not just pleasing to the ear; in reality, Sumr Breeze, unlike Feng Yi, whose variant sound was that of a witch’s, had a voice that, even amidst the noisy tavern, wasn’t loud but reached his ears distinctly, as if existing independently of all other frequencies, free from any interference.
It was as if even in the heat of sumr, hearing this voice gave the impression of a cool spring.
At the first glance of Sumr Breeze, even Li Yao, who was used to seeing beautiful won, couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.
In truth, Sumr Breeze wasn’t an astonishing beauty that could devastate a city; when it ca to beauty, not to ntion enchantresses, even Sister Li and Feng Yi were more attractive than her.
But she exuded a very special aura about her – not quite bookish, not quite the deanor of a lady of a reputable family either; in short, she gave off a very comfortable vibe, and was highly endearing to look at, as if any worry could lt away in her particular smile.
Li Yao hadn’t expected that the one issuing the task would be such a unique woman.
“Are you the employer?” Li Yao walked over and asked.
At that mont, Li Yao was clad in a black cloak, with a huge, rust-stained sickle on his back. This image wasn’t particularly unique now.
Ever since the appearance of the Death Scythe divine artifact, this image of a sickle and black cloak wasn’t rare, though not common enough that one couldn’t et one or two others.
“Why, does it surprise you?” Sumr Breeze chuckled lightly. With her smile, the surrounding tumult seed to be excluded, and a peaceful aura ford around her as the center, calming any restless hearts.
Li Yao nodded slightly, “It’s just quite unexpected, I didn’t think the employer would be a beautiful woman. I think you shouldn’t be called Sumr Breeze.”
Sumr Breeze invited Li Yao to sit down and asked, “Then what do you think I should be called?”
“Valley Orchid,” Li Yao replied without hesitation.
“That’s not too different from my real na. Let’s not dwell on that,” Sumr Breeze said as she composed herself and asked, “Is your engineering skill really advanced with over twenty thousand proficiency?”
“Naturally,” Li Yao shared his engineering proficiency with her.
Sumr Breeze’s eyes sparkled imdiately, and she said, “Alright, welco to the team.”
Just then, a man wearing glasses sitting nearby, seeing Li Yao and Sumr Breeze chatting happily, suddenly said, “So what if it’s advanced engineering? Last ti we still had a guy with advanced engineering, but he had no combat ability, couldn’t even kill a single monster, and what’s more ridiculous, the guy leveled up solely by practicing all sorts of explosives—it was completely useless and even got the whole team wiped out.”
Sumr looked at Li Yao apologetically and smiled, saying, “This friend here is Ling Feng who is standing up, and actually, the task was taken by both of us together.”
“Exactly, the last one was just too useless, wasting everyone’s ti. If it weren’t for the boss being pretty and compensating us, we would have left long ago,” a beastman warrior said coldly.
Li Yao smiled lightly, noticing a female hunter beside him emanating an aura of cold arrogance.
The female hunter radiated a coldness that kept people at a distance, her armor full of a tallic texture from chanical engineering, a tal bow on her back, two hand crossbows at her waist, and even sothing resembling a tal egg on her shoulder.
A tal chanical helt that covered most of her face, and even had goggles on, yet from her sharp chin and proud figure, one could tell she was also a beauty. Had one not known she was a player, they might have thought her an emotionless robot.
Li Yao smiled, his hand moving like lightning to grab the tal bow on her back. Iciness flashed in the eyes of the Ice Mountain Hunter, resentnt and rage seeping in, but before she could dodge, Li Yao had seized the tal bow.
Clatter, clatter…
No one saw how Li Yao managed it, but by the ti the Ice Mountain Hunter stood up, the various parts of the tal bow were scattered across the table.
“You destroyed my bow,” the Ice Mountain Hunter said, glancing at the parts scattered on the table, frowning. Her voice was light, but the iciness in her tone was clear to everyone.
The other team mbers watched Li Yao with glee, knowing well that the one person in their team not to be ssed with was the Ice Mountain beauty, yet Li Yao had just provoked her.
Sumr also frowned slightly and said, “You were too reckless. This chanical bow was specially made by a goblin master for a hefty price. Apart from the master, no one else can assemble it. Last ti, Ice Mountain couldn’t put it together after disassembling it, and ended up spending Gold Coins to have the master reassemble it.”
“I won’t make it hard for you. Ten Gold Coins, or you put this bow back together,” said Bing Yu lightly.
Li Yao didn’t take it seriously, responding, “Then it seems the so-called master you found isn’t much of a master at all, turning a good transforming chanical bow into this. And he dares to call himself a master? That’s laughable.”
“How arrogant! That master was introduced to by an impressive NPC captain from our faction; he couldn’t be fake. I think you’re just trying to wiggle out of compensating,” said Ling Feng, his eyes blazing with anger, for the master had been introduced through his connections. If the master was a fraud, that ant he’d been played by an NPC.
“Then watch closely,” Li Yao said as he grabbed the parts, and before anyone could recover from their surprise, the chanical bow appeared in his hands again.
In the silent and shocked crowd, Li Yao flicked his arm, and the chanical bow shifted from a short bow to a Long Bow, and with another flick, it reverted to a short bow.
“The market for chanical bows exists precisely because they can change form. Unless a special piece of equipnt has the attribute to transform, materials like monster bones or even high-quality ancient wood are better suited for bows than tal. Otherwise, chanical bows wouldn’t have a market,” Li Yao said, handing over the chanical bow.
Sumr walked over to Bing Yu, lifting her head in astonishnt, “Indeed, it now has an additional transforming attribute, and both its attack and attributes have improved by nearly one-fifth. How is that possible?”
“Naturally,” Li Yao said, shaking his head slightly, “the tal bow you called a masterpiece was poorly assembled by your so-called master, affecting its attributes. The materials were good, but the craftsmanship was terrible—a waste.”
“So that’s how it is,” Sumr said, her expression shifting to one of realization as she looked at Li Yao with a new respect.
Then, amid everyone’s astonished gaze, Li Yao extended his hand.
Seeing Bing Yu hand over the bow again, Li Yao rolled his eyes, “Sister, why are you handing the bow? Do I need to spell it out? Shouldn’t there be a paynt for improving the tal bow? You ntioned that the ‘master’ charged ten Gold Coins for assembly, right?”…
