Chapter 200: A Good Return
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
System: Production of the Soldier’s Long Sword has failed.
F...Failed!
How could it have failed? Weren’t the initial stages of Forging supposed to be easy to get through? The hamr should have also increased the success rate by 20%...
He had been so focused on the end-result that he had failed.
In his previous life, a strong Trade Profession Player had once said that Trade Skills required ‘heart’!
After gathering his thoughts, Lu Li focused all of his attention onto the sword base that was before him.
Of course, in-ga Forging was nothing like Forging in real life. In reality, forging a sword required fanning the flas, slting ore, casting and other kinds of machinery. On the other hand, the ga would skip over the first few steps. Once the Trade Skill was used, a certain amount of ore would be consud and the sword base would be ford. Players were only required to hamr the sword into shape, temper it...etc
System: A Soldier’s Long Sword has been successfully produced. Forging EXP 1.
Soldier’s Long Sword (Bronze): Damage 12-18, Strength 3, Equipnt Requirent: Level 5. Durability 20/20.
It seed to be a little different...
Lu Li opened up the Forging panel and found the blueprint that he had learnt.
On the blueprint, it said that the Forged Soldier’s Long Sword would be:
Soldier’s Long Sword (Bronze): Damage 10-16, Strength 1~2, Equipnt Requirent: Level 5. Durability 20/20.
This definitely wasn’t what he had in his hands.
Not only was its upper and lower bound of damage increased by 2 points, it also now had three attribute points.
Even low-end LV5 Steel-Grade equipnt would only have three attribute points.
One could doubtlessly say that Lu Li was holding was an exquisite weapon.
Exquisite LV5 weapons couldn’t be sold for a heaven-defying price, but they could still be sold for at least 10 or so silver coins in the Exchange Hall
Presumably, this was the effect of the Grade 1 property.
Lu Li then continued to make another 13 Swords. Two of them had 3 attributes, while the rest had 2 attributes. There wasn’t a single sword that only had Strength 1.
He felt like a large mountain of coins had fallen from the sky and buried him.
From Forging 14 Swords, he had gained a total of 10 EXP. He now needed to find a new blueprint to increase his EXP more rapidly. Because of this magical hamr, he wouldn’t lose as much money.
“That is...”
Lu Li had long since noticed a person standing at the door who seed to have sothing on his mind. After hesitantly approaching soone else, he would imdiately retreat, as if he was too embarrassed to speak.
“What are you looking for?” Lu Li looked at him calmly.
The person before him was wearing cloth armor and had a Warlock-style Steeple hat. In one hand, he held a LV10 Steel Magic Staff; he was probably a Warlock. Lu Li couldn’t see his level, but based on his equipnt, it probably wasn’t very high. He was unlikely to be higher than LV15.
Perhaps it was because Lu Li’s gaze didn’t carry the sa alertness that most players did, but the Warlock mustered up the courage to ask, “My equipnt is critical but I have no money. Can you lend so money for the repairs?”
Before Lu Li could respond, he hastily added, “My na is Iron Sword. I will definitely return the money to you. You can note it in the system...”
“Don’t trust him,” a player nearby interjected. “There are plenty of people in Astrana who are begging like him. They have all kinds of reasons for wanting money. Even if you give him money now, the next ti you see him, he’ll still be asking for money. As for the system note, you have to pay for that.”
“I’ll pay for the system note,” Iron Sword responded.
“Hahaha, then why don’t you exchange so real-life money at the Trade Platform for so coins, you fool.” The passerby smiled impudently, proud that he had debunked a liar.
What he said was true – the Trading Platform was quite advanced and could credit the coins to your account in under half an hour.
“I... nevermind, excuse .”
Iron Sword bowed his head in humiliation and was about to leave.
“How much do you need?” Lu Li called out.
“Just 1 gold. No, 80 Silver. I don’t need a full repair,” Iron Sword said eagerly.
“How did you get to a point where you don’t even have money to repair your equipnt?” He couldn’t even pay for 1 gold? Lu Li was now a little skeptical. Dawn’s repair costs were notoriously high, but regular players should still have been able to support themselves.
“I transferred all my money yesterday and today, I died a few tis while trying to kill a quest monster,” Iron Sword sighed helplessly.
Lu Li finally ca around. He now understood why Iron Sword was unable to even pay for the repair costs for his equipnt.
He had the sa experience in his past life. Any money he made in-ga, he would imdiately convert to real dollars. He would never have enough money in real life to exchange for in-ga currency either.
“Here is two gold. You can have it,” Lu Li said as he transferred two gold.
He wasn’t a tycoon, but he wasn’t that charitable either. This was in spite of the fact that he had just received a few hundred gold from the other mbers of the rcenary Group for creating the bombs.
“Thank you so much, but 1 gold is enough,” Iron Sword refused.
“Just keep it – you’ll probably need it. Use the rest on potions.” Lu Li said as he confird the transaction.
“Thank you.” Iron Sword hesitated montarily before quickly closing the window.
“Yet another person who has been cheated.”
The passerby saw that Lu Li had given the money and bitterly left, shaking his head.
“What monsters were you fighting that caused you to die over and over?” Lu Li didn’t leave imdiately. Instead, he asked a few more questions about him. Now that he had helped him, Lu Li didn’t want him to die again and end up on the sa path as before.
“The Fire Elental Lord Magmasa. It’s a rare monster. I always co really close.”
Iron Sword had nothing to hide.
“Oh, is it a huge Fire Elental Monster?” When Lu Li heard the na Magmasa, his eyes lit up.
The Fire Elental Lord Magmasa was not a Boss. However, it was a rare monster with an irregular refresh ti and place. Only players who had received the relevant quest could find it.
“Yeah, it’s a really big Fire Elental. The lower’s its HP, the higher its defence,” Iron Sword exasperatedly replied.
“Let’s go. I’ll help you kill it.” Lu Li sent a party invite.
“Isn’t that too much trouble for you...”
He had just borrowed so money and now he needed help to fight a monster. Iron Sword felt like he was asking for too much.
It might drop sothing that I need,” Lu Li explained bluntly.
“Alright. If it does drop, then it’s yours.”
When Iron Sword heard that Lu Li needed sothing, he accepted the party invite without a second thought. He didn’t even ask what the item was.
“Oh, you’re Lu Li!”
“Yep, let’s go.” He had forgotten to make himself anonymous, but it didn’t really matter.
