In the end, Shen Yi decided to put the blacksmith's business aside and go to the market first.
On the one hand, it's inconvenient for him to study the Skeleton Blacksmith right now; on the other hand, Shen Yi has a better option than to figure it out on his own.
Old Master Xing!
With a master craftsman like Elder Xing around, Shen Yi wouldn't need to bury himself in research.
"Even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are very few professionals who wear mana regeneration equipment."
Ye Qianyu sighed, "Apart from those few pieces of equipment that are on the list, the rest of the equipment either have too strict level requirements or have negative effects."
"Negative effects?" Shen Yi exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent. "Equipment has negative effects?"
“Of course there are.” Ye Qianyu glanced at Shen Yi. “Your understanding is not deep enough yet. Later on, you will find that a piece of equipment that looks top-notch may actually have more troublesome negative effects.”
"for example……"
Ye Qianyu thought for a moment, "What do you think of an item that can increase mana regeneration by 100%?"
"That's pretty good."
"What if its negative effect is that your skill cost becomes four times the original?"
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that too useless?"
"That's how it is." Ye Qianyu sighed. "Because of this, after reaching a high level, about half of the equipment may become unusable."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "What if we wear it and then take it off?"
"Under normal circumstances, this won't work. Even if you recover mana after receiving equipment bonuses, you will still suffer from its negative effects."
"In other words, the mana that is actually added belongs to the equipment, and naturally, it will also carry the negative effects of the equipment."
Shen Yi looked disappointed. "It can be like this?"
Wu Yong grinned slyly, "Boss, you're addicted to finding loopholes."
Clearly, Wu Yong's big butt got kicked by Shen Yi again.
...
The three of them strolled around the market again, but didn't find anything useful.
Ye Qianyu had clearly already equipped herself with the gear she wanted: a light armor set, a greatsword, and C-grade shielded gauntlets. This was quite reasonable for a Paladin, a class with high strength and agility.
As for Wu Yong...
"How about this gun?"
Wu Yong looked quite imposing as he shouldered the heavy rifle.
"You want to go for the heavy artillery division style?"
Wu Yong chuckled, "How handsome!"
Heavy Gunners are equipped with heavy machine guns and can provide a large amount of firepower support in a short time. However, their disadvantages are also obvious: poor mobility and easy to get into a tough battle without support.
"It's not that it's impossible."
Shen Yi nodded.
His skeleton army has no shortage of manpower; if all else fails, Shen Yi can transfer a skeleton magic swordsman to protect Wu Yong.
Shen Yi was not so arrogant as to think that he could do whatever he wanted in the dungeon.
Ultimately, his dominance in the beginner dungeons was all thanks to the unity bonus provided by the Skeleton Army.
Right now, apart from Shen Yi himself, what his Skeleton Legion lacks most is high-end combat power.
"It's a bit pricey though." Wu Yong glanced at it; this C-grade heavy machine gun cost 1,500 points, and it didn't even have unlimited ammo.
"never mind."
Shen Yi shook his head. "If this gun sells for a thousand points, you can buy it and try it out. Fifteen thousand..."
He's not optimistic about the price unless there's unlimited ammo.
"Sir, you don't look familiar to me."
The seller chuckled, clearly having overheard Shen Yi and the others' discussion, "This gun of mine, 1,500, is definitely not expensive!"
"Don't let the fact that it doesn't have unlimited bullets fool you; its destructive power is absolutely top-notch!"
"With this gun, let alone bronze-level dungeons, it can easily conquer even silver-level ones!"
Ye Qianyu pouted, "It's all hype, but the lack of unlimited bullets is its fatal flaw."
For gunners, frequent reloading means having more fatal weaknesses in combat.
Most gunners will choose equipment with unlimited ammo, unless they are gunners who use single-shot high-damage attacks.
"No, no!"
The seller shook his head. "This gun doesn't have unlimited ammo, but it has a skill that's comparable to unlimited ammo!"
"Charge your mana!"
"Really?"
Wu Yong jumped up instantly, "Mana charging? Your C-grade gun can have such a skill?"
"It's not on the gun, of course, but... it's on the magazine."
The seller then pulled out a heavy magazine.
"Here you are."
Wu Yong took the magazine.
[Dragon-type heavy machine gun magazine]
Quality: C
[Unique Skill: Mana Recharge (Consumes mana to quickly reload magazines)]
"I'll take this one!" Wu Yong decided without hesitation.
"A total of 2,500 points, thank you for your patronage~"
Wu Yong was taken aback. "Two thousand five? Didn't you just say one thousand five?"
"Fifteen thousand, that's the price of the gun. The magazine is sold separately."
"You can sell it like that?" Wu Yong's eyes widened. "You might as well just rob it!"
What does 2,500 points mean? In one dungeon run, Shen Yi killed almost twenty times more monsters than others. For someone else, to earn 2,500 points in one run, they would have to run the dungeon twenty times.
"Oh, if you don't want it, you don't have to buy it!"
The seller curled his lip and then tried to take the magazine from Wu Yong's hand.
Wu Yong looked pained, "Fine... two thousand five hundred it is!"
Even if he had a secret stash of money, he spent 250,000 yuan in one go, almost spending all the money he had saved.
"Ye Qianyu, we're teammates now. If your teammate is short on money, you'd better be generous!"
Wu Yong looked pleadingly at the only wealthy woman in the group.
Ye Qianyu immediately extended her hand, "Don't try to get close to me. Teammates are teammates, and money is money. Even if you ask me for money, I can only lend it to you."
"Borrowing is fine too..."
"Three parts profit."
Wu Yong's lips twitched. "Does it have to be this ruthless?"
Ye Qianyu smiled and said, "Even close brothers keep clear accounts! We're just teammates in a small team, I'm not your mother."
Wu Yong thought for a while, took a deep breath, and seemed to be making a major decision.
"You can be..."
Bang!!!
"Let's go, ignore that idiot."
Ye Qianyu dusted off the dust on her pants.
Shen Yi glanced at Wu Yong and said, "Wu Yong, stop pretending and get up."
Wu Yong immediately sprang up from the ground.
"Boss, you were looking for me?"
"A charged magazine plus a heavy machine gun wouldn't cost more than 1,500. You're not stupid, how could you fall into such an obvious trap?"
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Tell me what happened."
Wu Yong chuckled after hearing this.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother Yi."
