Chapter Twenty-Five: An Artifact for the Future

"I'll it! I'll it! An old monkey who kills a thousand knives!! ”

Although he was sure that there was no one around, Xiao Ye, who still maintained the state of Xiao Xiao Qiao in case one of the ten-thousandth of them was accidentally bumped into by others, had already changed to a slightly more hidden place near the resurrection point and lay on his back with his legs facing the sky for more than half an hour, his physical strength had recovered three or four percent, but he was still cursing over and over again in his mouth.

The first artifact in the whole game, the banana fan, and the first special item I heard of, countless fluorescent dark iron ores, all turned to ashes because of that damn old monkey's troubled fan. This blow is not ordinarily big, Xiao Ye's resentment is not ordinarily heavy, if that old monkey dares to appear in front of him with empty hands at this time, he will definitely jump up and strangle it directly.

"Artifact...... Artifact ......"

Xiao Ye lay on the ground in annoyance and frustration, as if enchanted, and muttered over and over again.

Another half an hour passed, and Xiao Ye, who had been complaining for a long time, finally patted the ashes on his body and stood up with a look of chagrin. His strength was almost restored. At this time, it has already passed five o'clock, and after a short while, it is estimated that those hardcore players who only sleep four or five hours a day will go online to prepare for a new day of battle. Xiao Ye quickly found a more hidden place and quietly lifted the transformation state. Because of the "psychological trauma" caused by being crushed to death by the Bull Demon King and being "fanned to death" by the old monkey, although he is no longer far away from the first-order transformation of level 30, he doesn't want to fight monsters for a while, so it doesn't matter if his attributes are halved or something in the state of not changing.

And when it comes to dawn, the players of Xiangyang City, who have just been launched in the new day, will soon find that a high-grade spirit weapon-level weapon has been listed on the exchange. Xiao Ye lifted his transformation, planning to mix in the crowd to see how everyone reacted, and he also wanted to see what the [Divine Destruction Punishment] would be angry with.

"Well, there are still tens of thousands of dollars beckoning to me." Xiao Ye, who had lost a legendary banana fan and countless fluorescent iron ores because of a cup, comforted himself in his heart as he walked slowly around the city.

There are still a few hours before the time when a large number of players are collectively online at seven * eight o'clock, Xiao Ye is not in a hurry to go to the exchange to see the trading situation now, and he doesn't want to fight monsters for a while, so he thinks about it and decides to practice a few life skills. After all, in an online game, life skills are practiced well, which is also very useful, and some super awesomes have even become sought-after goods for all big unions because of their extremely high life skill level.

In "Without a Trace", there are various life skills, but they are not much different from the settings in other holographic online games. Basically, farming, fishing, sewing, cooking, logging, building, mining, blacksmithing, gathering, medicine, and so on. Planting and fishing correspond to sewing and cooking, and later combined with gathering skills, you can make quite good attributed clothing and food that can continuously recover a large amount of HP in a non-combat state. Logging corresponds to construction, which has a huge role in the construction of union bases and the repair of union positions during gang wars, and some special offensive and defensive facilities can only be made by cutting wood that can be cut at a certain level of construction skills and high-level logging skills. Mining and forging needless to say, the blacksmiths in the main city can only help you carry out ordinary, conventional reinforcement of equipment, it is said that in this game, mining to the god level, after digging the best ore, with the help of god-level forging skills, the weapon can be specially strengthened, and other incidental attributes appear, and even directly evolve low-level weapons into artifact-level weapons are possible - this is also the most important reason why Xiao Ye's eyes immediately lit up when he heard "fluorescent dark iron ore" an hour ago. The higher the level of collection, the more rare items and medicinal raw materials can be collected, and the higher the pharmaceutical skill, the more types of medicine can be produced and the better the effect.

Farming, fishing, sewing, cooking, logging, building, mining, blacksmithing, gathering, pharmaceutical...... These life skills were originally practiced by Xiao Ye when he entered this game more than three months ago, and before he was stripped of all his original skills as a "super shapeshifter" a few days ago, he was even an NB player with master-level gathering skills. It's a pity that a job change made him work hard for more than three months from 0:00 to 6:00 in the morning every night, "even if he sleeps two hours less, he has to carry a basket up the mountain to collect medicine", directly like an old monkey fanning the wind with a banana fan, fanning everything into ashes. ,

In "Without a Trace", life skills are divided into 10 levels: Novice Level - Beginner Level - Apprentice Level - Disciple Level - Master Level - Master Level - Grandmaster Level - Legend Level - God Level. Xiao Ye has trained the collection to the master level in more than three months, which is extremely rare, except for those players in some big unions who usually only upgrade their life skills and have people take the level when fighting monsters, Xiao Ye is among the ordinary players, in terms of collecting skills alone, his upgrade speed is almost one of the fastest people.

As an ordinary player, Xiao Ye has always been "burdened" with the "sacred mission" of killing R*M*B players [God Annihilation Punishment] - although he has always been "forbearing" and has not made a move before transforming into Xiao Xiao Qiao. In order to make up for the gap in equipment that is difficult to ignore in the future, it is not enough to rely on "manipulation" alone, Xiao Ye's original plan was to make a large number of good medicines, add blood and attack and defense, and then knock on any medicine, and then add a sneak attack to get the [God Destroying Heaven Punishment] in an instant. As an ordinary player, you don't have a lot of money to buy the medicinal materials collected by other players to practice medicine, so you can only practice collecting and practicing medicine by yourself.

Therefore, in the past three months, Xiao Ye has been extremely diligent, relying on his own medicine collection, while fighting monsters and upgrading and doing hidden task chains, he has upgraded his collection skills to the master level, and his pharmaceutical skills have also been upgraded to the elite level. Without the help of the union's "special care" and "key training", I was really strong when I was promoted to level 67 and at the same time practiced two life skills to this extent.

It's just that that's all in the past. And now, three months later, Xiao Ye, who has returned to level 10 - oh no, it's already level 28 - no longer plans to focus on gathering and medicine.

That's right, of course, the skills he has to practice will become the other two - mining and blacksmithing.

Super shapeshifters, those transformer characters, many people have special weapons in the original book, and they only use that kind of special weapons. Therefore, if Xiao Ye did not guess wrong, then in the future, many of his weapons should be like Xiao Xiaoqiao's double fans, permanently bound, not explosive, and can only be upgraded through strengthening, and no matter what NB level it is upgraded to, no matter how good the equipment is, it is not afraid of being killed and exploded!

"With the artifact in hand, I have ...... in the world"

Although Xiao Ye has a "big revenge", in order to take revenge, he can only sleep three or four hours a day and always think about the revenge plan when the future is still far away, but he has always been a very self-comforting and optimistic person - since the artifact has become fly ash and cannot be saved, then make the artifact yourself!

As if reciting an excitement spell, Xiao Ye, who was chanting these eight words, swept away the long-lasting depression that had not completely disappeared a few minutes ago, and walked towards the blacksmith shop excitedly-

"One day, Lao Tzu will create an artifact that no one can snatch! And it's the most important weapon in all kinds of equipment! ”

(After reading this chapter, you may think that the protagonist is busy fighting monsters, and the credit is completely wiped out by the lark, don't worry, read the next chapter!) Xiao Xiaoqiao's transformation was originally used to adjust the atmosphere and cushion the arrival of the first-order transformation in the early stage, and at the same time shape the original character of the protagonist. Since the protagonist is the protagonist, he is also destined to take a completely different path from others - in the next chapter, let's see what unexpected things he has just exchanged for a few hours of fighting! )
