◎First Release◎
Yan Yu didn't choose to restock the equipment immediately after it sold out. Instead, he told Cardolin to add new items every morning at 9:00 AM. These would primarily be A-level equipment.
A little disappointed, Cadolin eagerly asked, "Master Yan Yu, will there be any S-level equipment for sale in the future?"
She and Beulah and the others only managed to grab one piece of S-level equipment each, which was far from enough.
Yan Yu didn't give a clear answer, only saying, "It depends. If there are any left after forging, we can sell them at the Second Equipment Shop on Blue Star."
She concealed the truth and had no intention of revealing her background.
The truth was, she had an incredible amount of S-class equipment, and even had surpluses of the more rare SS- and SSS-class equipment. Of course, all of this had to be given away to her own people.
After the second equipment store on Blue Star was on track, Yan Yu became even more obsessed with forging equipment. She had previously obtained 2 S-level equipment blueprints and 60 A-level equipment blueprints after winning the battle against the mermaid city, as well as 700 pieces of S-level materials, which allowed her to make a lot of equipment materials.
These two S-level equipment drawings are the space shield and the seal ring.
[Special Equipment Blueprint: S-Class Space Shield]
Description: Can create a space shield with a diameter of 10,000 meters and repair damaged space barriers
Materials: S-level space crystal core*5
Conditions of use: Forging talent above S level
There were exactly 25 S-level space crystal cores in Yan Yu's storage ring. She spent more than half an hour forging five S-level space shields with a diameter of 10,000 meters.
The upgrade probability was not triggered this time, but Yan Yu knew how to be content and was very satisfied. After all, 5 S-level space shields could play a significant role.
Next is the sealing ring.
[Special Equipment Blueprint: S-Class Sealing Ring]
Description: Can create an S-level seal ring, which will randomly seal two skills/equipment of the opponent after activation. The seal lasts for 30 minutes and has a cooldown of 120 minutes.
Materials: S-grade satin ebony*2, S-grade seal stone*1
Conditions of use: Forging talent above S level
Generally, the use conditions of ordinary equipment blueprints of S level and below are forging talents or forging skills of the same level. However, equipment blueprints above SS level and special equipment blueprints can only be forged by forging talents of the same level, even if they have the forging skills of the same level.
Special equipment such as storage rings, sealing rings and space shields can only be made by players who have activated advanced forging talents.
There are quite a few S-grade materials used to forge the sealing rings. Yan Yu forged a total of 200 pieces, including 150 S-grade pieces, 47 SS-grade pieces, and 3 SSS-grade pieces.
The properties of each level of seal ring are as follows:
[Sealing Ring]
Quality: S-grade
Basic attributes: None
Additional attributes: None
Special effect: After use, randomly seal the opponent's two skills/equipment, the sealing time is 30 minutes, and the cooling time is 120 minutes.
[Sealing Ring]
Quality: SS grade
Basic attributes: None
Additional attributes: None
Special effect: After use, randomly seal the opponent's three skills/equipment, the sealing time is 40 minutes, and the cooling time is 100 minutes.
[Sealing Ring]
Quality: SSS
Basic attributes: None
Additional attributes: None
Special effect: After use, randomly seal the opponent's five skills/equipment, the sealing time is 60 minutes, and the cooling time is 90 minutes.
The skills of this sealing ring are really good. It can be used directly as various blocking cards, making it hard to defend against. It can block several skills or equipment of the opponent at once. Hahaha, Yan Yu finds it fun as long as he thinks of the opponent's unbelievable and flustered look in the battle.
As a fun-loving person, of course these sealing rings must be prepared at all times.
After using up two S-level equipment blueprints, Yan Yu originally planned to continue forging some A-level equipment blueprints. After all, there were plenty of A-level materials, and a lot of equipment materials could be put together. Even when the staff of the Lucibi Hotel and Cadoline invited Yan Yu to participate in the second stage of the Grand Prix, she had no plans to go.
Later, Xiaohui reminded her that the rules had changed this year. The third and second stages were merged, and the rewards for the final champion were also upgraded. There were SS-level materials, S-level equipment drawings, and SS-level protective shields. The rewards were extremely generous, and she would regret it if she missed them.
Yan Yu was not very interested in the SS-level protective shield, but she was determined to obtain the SS-level materials and S-level equipment drawings.
Of course, the more good things like this, the better!
The next day, Yan Yu put on the camouflage mask provided by the competition organizer and replaced those eye-catching SSS-level and SS-level equipment with a combination of 6 S-level and 4 A-level equipment.
Including S-level Flame Double Blades, S-level Radiant Bracelet, S-level Cloud-stepping Boots, S-level Frozen Necklace, S-level Sealing Ring, S-level Amplification Belt, A-level Camouflage Ring, A-level Xuancai Hairband, A-level Biling Skirt and A-level Wisteria Armor.
An A-level camouflage ring can disguise the wearer's appearance and overall attributes (over level 30 and with an advanced detector, the camouflage effect is reduced by 50%). Yan Yu is currently level 67, and if she is over level 30, she will be level 97. She has looked at the overall level ranking list, and the first level is only level 92.
In fact, it doesn't matter what equipment she wears to the competition, because she has a lot of equipment blueprints. As long as she comes across the right materials, she can immediately forge an endless supply of high-end equipment.
When the time comes, she can change whatever she wants.
There are many changes to the rules of this competition. You can use your own equipment and skills, but you cannot use gold coins. You must earn them yourself in the dungeon. Of course, your own storage space is also disabled. The contestant's competition bracelet comes with 10 cubic meters of space.
If you want to expand the space, you can use the gold coins earned in the copy to exchange, and every 10 gold coins can be exchanged for 1 cubic meter of space.
After arriving at the designated location of the Lucibi Group, Yan Yu first gathered with Cardolin and the other four, informed each other of the attributes of the weapons and equipment they carried, and then waited for the organizer to teleport them into the copy.
Soon, a familiar feeling of dizziness hit them. Yan Yu and the others' vision blurred, and when they regained focus, they found themselves in a small town deep in the forest. The NPCs in the town all had cat-like ears and vertical pupils, the kind unique to animals...
In each other's eyes, they naturally look like humans with cat ears.
Yan Yu touched the soft white ears on her head and felt very strange. The ears moved a little uncomfortably, as if they were a part of her body.
Then, an extremely unfamiliar memory suddenly broke into her mind. When she finished absorbing those memories, the prompts in the copy sounded one after another:
[Welcome to the Beast King's Battle Secret Realm dungeon. This dungeon is a fusion of multiple dungeons and is an unexplored dungeon.]
[Player's main quest: Choose an orc and support him/her to become the Beast King. Ultimately, the points earned will be determined by the merits of the support process.]
The mission lasts for 100 days. The time flow rate inside and outside the dungeon is 10:1. If you survive for 10 days inside the dungeon, only 1 day will pass outside. Please do your best to survive!
————————
"Hehe, I finally waited for the Grand Prix to start again. Let's take a look at the War Team I support. Wow, the idols are still so handsome. With the addition of tiger ears and tiger tails, they look even more majestic."
"This dungeon is actually the Beast King's Battle. I heard that before the fusion, it was only a B-level dungeon, but later it seemed to have merged with one B-level and two or three A-level dungeons, and the difficulty increased a lot. Now it is at least rated A+."
"I came to see my idol Yan Yu. Last time, thanks to some impressive moves by her, the Mermaid Princess' team won first place. I wonder if she'll do anything surprising this time?"
"Me too, you have no idea how funny their expressions were when they found out that the champion of the first stage wasn't the Warfire Squad or the Ghost Flame Squad as the judges had expected! Especially General Ken. Look, his face is still sour. Hahahaha, so funny."
After entering the secret realm copy, the contestants' live broadcast rooms were opened one after another, and countless viewers flocked in, especially in Yan Yu's live room, where the barrage of comments was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
But what can be vaguely seen are similar words like "idol" and "support".
At this moment, the judging panel still consists of Lucy Bi who is ranked first in the wealth list, General Ken who is ranked second in the combat power list (originally ranked third in the combat power list), Chi Shui who is ranked third in the combat power list (originally ranked fifth in the combat power list), and Berta, the president of the First Guild. This time, the vice president of the First Guild, Su Qingyi, the SS-level blacksmith, has also been added.
General Ken's face still looked very unhappy when he saw all the discussions praising Yan Yu in the live broadcast room. He had been optimistic about the War Team before and had commented countless times that they were the only ones who would win the championship, but Yan Yu slapped him in the face.
After the first stage of the competition, General Ken directly extended an olive branch to Ling Yun, the captain of the War Team. Now, Ling Yun has become a member of their Killing Guild.
Seeing that the audience who should have supported Ling Yun had switched to Yan Yu, it was strange that General Ken was in a good mood: "Humph, they are just opportunists!"
Chi Shui's red eyes flickered slightly, and he tapped the table lightly with his fingernails. Then he curled his lips and chuckled softly, "General Ken, I don't think they are doing anything opportunistic. It's you who are very prejudiced."
General Ken glared and said, "I can't argue with you, but I only recognize Ling Yun. In my heart, Ling Yun and his War Team are the undisputed number one."
Chi Shui suppressed his smile and said, "He's number one in your heart, so why are you glaring at me? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're stronger than me!"
Seeing the two about to quarrel, Berta hurried to mediate: "The competition has already begun. Let's focus on the other contestants. Who will be the first is still unknown until the end. There is no need to argue now."
"Berta's right. I think it's not just Yan Yu and Ling Yun; the other contestants are also very capable. Let's focus on the competition itself. After all, it's just entertainment." Lucy, the organizer, smiled and stroked her long white hair. "This dungeon is quite interesting. It's the first time anyone has entered since the fusion, so it's considered groundbreaking."
The Beast King Battle dungeon was originally a B-level secret realm dungeon. Later, Lucibi used special props to combine a B-level secret realm dungeon and three A-level secret realm dungeons, greatly increasing the difficulty of passing the level. The dungeon rating is still being calculated and there is no specific value.
It just so happens that the contestants are responsible for opening up the new land.
You know, although A-level and above dungeons are more difficult for them and it is easy to die in them, death in the secret dungeon is not real death, just like you will be logged out of the game immediately after failure.
In addition, there are many benefits in the new dungeon, and the rewards for completing the dungeon are very high, and there is also the possibility of rare equipment and cards dropping, so all the contestants agreed to enter without exception.
Knowing that Lucibi and Berta were trying to give them a way out, General Ken snorted and suddenly said, "Lingyun's strength is obvious to all. In a dungeon like this, no amount of cleverness will be of any use."
General Ken was becoming more and more annoyed by the comments in the barrage, such as "Support Boss Yan Yu" and "Boss Yan Yu is the best".
"What's up?" Chi Shui glanced at him. "How about we make a bet and see who will be the champion, Yan Yu or Ling Yun?"
"Let's bet!"
Chi Shui: "Betting without stakes is meaningless. Didn't you get a rare SS-level piece of equipment in the last dungeon? Use that as the stakes."
Only then did General Ken realize that something was amiss.
"You've been eyeing my new equipment for a long time, haven't you, and are deliberately trying to provoke me into a bet?" Otherwise, why have you been going against him all day?
Chi Shui shrugged. "It's alright if you think that way. Why are you so sure you'll lose and lose your new equipment? Aren't you very optimistic about Ling Yun's strength? Why, you don't dare now?"
How could General Ken not recognize this obvious provocation? However, he was very confident in his choice. "Hmph, it's just a piece of SS-grade equipment. I'll bet on it. However, you have to bet something of the same rank."
"Of course." Chi Shui took out an SS-level dagger and slammed it on the table without any hesitation.
She had long been annoyed by General Ken, a rough man who looked down on female players and thought that female players were only suitable to hide behind men, so she had to make this bet with him today.
She was certain that Yan Yu was a capable person who could work miracles, and she trusted her intuition.
"Hahaha, you're definitely going to lose this time!"
General Ken's eyes lit up when he saw the SS-level dagger on the table. That was the main weapon used by the Chishui Emperor. It had very powerful attributes, far exceeding ordinary SS-level equipment. To be honest, he had been coveting it for a long time.
In his opinion, it was a pity to have a weapon that was no less than SSS-level in the hands of that woman from Chishui. If it was in his hands, he would definitely be able to maximize its value.
However, when Ling Yun wins the championship, the dagger will belong to him.
Ling Yun was already the highest level of the competitors, and after completing another dungeon, he had reached level 70, officially entering the ranks of advanced players. After joining the Killing War Guild, he purchased four more S-level weapons. Adding the runner-up reward from the first stage—one S-level piece of equipment—he was now fully equipped with S-level gear, and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
Originally, his personal strength was the best by a huge margin, and now with the bonus of 10 pieces of S-level equipment, he has become a leader among the crowd.
As for Yan Yu, although no one knew how she reached level 67, after levels 50 or 60, the difference of one level was like a chasm, and there was almost no possibility of winning by skipping levels.
Moreover, she is only an A-level blacksmith, has no combat talent, and her equipment is only 6S4A. How can she compare with Lingyun?
