Shen Yi knew that his request seemed a bit too much, and he was a little embarrassed. "Elder Xing, no... never mind."
Why not?
Old Master Xing stroked his beard, seemingly deep in thought.
"The requests you've made are quite interesting..."
Shen Yi blinked, "If Elder Xing thinks it's too difficult to create..."
"How could there be any equipment that I, an old man, cannot forge?" Elder Xing was provoked by Shen Yi and immediately began to glare and fuss.
"Your request is not impossible."
Elder Xing thought for a moment, then looked up at Chen Yi, "How about I make you a hand shield?"
"Hand shield?"
"This is it."
Elder Xing took out a small, standard-issue shield from his storage space.
"Take a look, does this equipment meet your requirements?"
"Unlike traditional handheld shields, it's more like an arm guard."
Xing Lao put the small shield on his forearm. "It's good for both offense and defense, and most importantly, it doesn't affect agility or the ability to equip a staff."
Shen Yi looked at the small shield, his eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly came to mind.
"If that's the case, if I wanted to create a suit of armor for my entire upper body, and then make shields like this on both arms, with this one piece of equipment, my entire upper body would be protected by the equipment's defensive capabilities, while my hands would still retain their offensive capabilities..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Elder Xing and Lan Yu looking at him with serious expressions.
"Uh... what's wrong?" Shen Yi blinked.
"You little brat."
Elder Xing's eyes gradually brightened. "You do have some ideas!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Shen Yi's reply and immediately buried his head in the materials.
Lan Yu looked at Chen Yi with a complicated expression.
"You really have a vivid imagination..."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "Did I say something wrong?"
"You're not wrong, it's just that your idea is a bit too peculiar."
Lan Yu looked at Shen Yi and said, "No one has ever made this kind of equipment before, which means there has never been such a mold. To make your equipment, you need to make the corresponding mold first."
"This makes it a huge project for the blacksmith."
ah?
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, not expecting that there were so many intricacies involved in crafting equipment.
"It's not a big project, it'll be quick!"
While working, Xing Lao called out in his spare time, "I have all the equipment I need! If I don't have any, ask Xiao Yezi for some."
"All you need to do is assemble them, build a shell, and then recast the casting..."
As he muttered to himself, Old Xing worked with great enthusiasm, his eyes filled with increasing fervor.
“Old Master Xing is that kind of person.” Lan Yu smiled. “The most important reason why he was able to become a master craftsman is that Old Master Xing’s passion for crafting is hard to match.”
"However, this demand is indeed very unique, and I guess only you would use this kind of mold."
Lan Yu thought for a moment, "But even I have to admit that for melee classes that use magic to fight, this kind of armor is the most correct choice."
Shen Yi was taken aback. "We didn't have this kind of equipment before?"
"Half-body armor is extremely difficult to forge. For blacksmiths, the larger the equipment, the more materials are used, the more difficult it is to forge, and the lower the success rate. This is especially true for equipment with many independent parts."
"In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, I guess only Elder Xing could forge the kind of armor you described."
After saying that, Lan Yu looked at Shen Yi, her expression becoming noticeably more serious.
"Don't get too excited yet. Crafting a piece of equipment like this isn't just your reward."
Lan Yu smiled. "You know, besides crafting and monster drops, a large portion of the equipment comes from..."
"snatch?"
"That's right."
Shen Yi frowned. "But who would know that the equipment I'm wearing was provided by Elder Xing? Elder Xing will never reveal this..."
At this point, Shen Yi suddenly fell silent.
"It seems you've already thought of that." Lan Yu smiled slightly. "Given Elder Xing's personality, he certainly wouldn't do such a thing."
"But not everyone can't."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, then a bitter look appeared on his face. "You don't mean that Chief Ye is capable of doing such a thing?"
You're right.
Shen Yi frowned. "But this doesn't make sense. If Chief Ye wants to put me in the spotlight, why did he go through all that trouble before? Why don't you take action on the General Ranking?"
Upon hearing Lan Yu's words, Shen Yi instantly understood Ye Dingtian's meaning. He simply wanted to reward Shen Yi with the equipment crafted by Elder Xing, while simultaneously drawing the world's attention to Shen Yi.
But if that were the case, Ye Dingtian could have simply made it public that he was ranked number one when the dungeon opened.
They've gone through a whole roundabout process, and then they do something like this.
"Times have changed."
A sly glint appeared on Lan Yu's delicate face. "Given the circumstances, this was the only way. After all, the Heavenly God Alliance was still eyeing you covetously."
Shen Yi was taken aback. "You mean?"
"Just now, Dingtian conveyed a message to me."
"One of the core members of the Heavenly God Alliance within the entire Jiangdong School Alliance has been captured."
"That means you are safe for the time being."
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised, "So fast?"
"In fact, before you even left the instance, the entire Jiangdong School Alliance and the Ye family had already mobilized."
Lan Yu calmly said, "The entire Jiangdong region is almost entirely within the coverage area of the Jiangdong All-School Alliance. In addition, with the intervention of several legendary professionals from the Ye family, this speed is already considered quite fast."
Shen Yi was once again shocked by Ye Dingtian's decisive actions.
So it seems that although the Heavenly God Alliance is very threatening, it still cannot escape Ye Dingtian's grasp.
This is indeed good news for Shen Yi.
After all, he wasn't sure if there were still people from the Heavenly God Alliance lurking in Jiangdong, or if his number one ranking had been exposed. Even though Ye Dingtian had made preparations, the news wasn't completely airtight.
Currently, with the threat from the Heavenly God Alliance temporarily reduced within Jiangdong territory, Shen Yi can seemingly rest easy for a while.
Relaxing is a good thing for Shen Yi; what he needs now is time to focus on his development.
The size and quality of the skeleton army, and the exploration of composite professions for skeletons.
The necromancer Shenyi was so different from others, even unprecedented, that it meant he was completely feeling his way across the river, and had to carefully consider every step he took.
"Kid... I've put so much effort into this, it should at least be a B-grade equipment!"
Old Xing was beaming with excitement, wiping the sweat from his face. "You'd better not treat this piece of equipment badly!"
"I understand, sir."
Shen Yi quickly replied.
Seeing the fervor on Xing Lao's face, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
seem……
He still can't comfortably develop his skeleton army!
