Chapter 341: Shock Brought by the Refinement!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

World of Martial Arts was in shock!

The compet.i.tion in the commision shop Happy triggered because of his desire to buy berthierite was actually something many merchants paid attention to. However, they were unable to join because of various reasons.

The rarity of berthierite made it sure that it was not something that every merchant could come into contact with immediately.

However, while thousands of merchants paid attention to it quietly, they noticed something that caused their souls to tremble.

A high-grade masterpiece with three colors!

Once it reached the third echelon, it’s presence and appearance was much greater than of divine weapons and demon vessels. It also had a domineering attribute of increasing damage by 1,000. A four digit increase in damage caused all the people in the game to feel suffocated.

Even Happy sucked in a sharp breath.

He knew more than anyone else about the conditions for refinement of a weapon or armor which had reached a high echelon, along with the difficulty to fulfill them.

Refining a first-echelon weapon would increase the weapon’s attribute by 50%. The success rate was 50%, and the player would require a weapon along with a middle-grade metal ore, crystal ore, and a bottle of Beauty Melting Liquid made by an herbalist.

Refining a second-echelon weapon would increase the weapon’s attribute by 100%. The success rate was 40%, and the player would require a first-echelon weapon along with a medium-high grade metal ore, one Stone with Water, and one Golden Jade Liquid. Those three materials were items that the players right then could not obtain, and Happy was among them. He could only buy them at a high price.

Refining a third-echelon weapon would increase the weapon’s attribute by 150%. The success rate was 30%, and the player would require a second-echelon weapon along with a high grade metal ore, one unakite, and one unit of Jade Coagulating Powder that can only be created by a grade four herbalist and the materials for which would require at least six hundred thousand taels of silver. One unakite cost more than two million taels of silver, and the metal ore was also very expensive.

The most critical part, however, was the low success rate and the low refining levels that the ironsmiths possessed for the time being. It made it practically impossible to create a third-echelon weapon!

Happy’s request to buy berthierite had caused the third-echelon weapon to appear in the commission like a legend!

[Will you sell it?!]

[I’ll buy it for twenty million, and I won’t change the offer I made! Once I get the item, I’ll pay for it!]

[Thirty million, I want that sword!]

Countless messages that could only appear on the commission shop showed up on the first page! All of them were domineering, generous with their money, and courageous! They acted so to attract the attention of the master of the weapon, Kind Tyc.o.o.n…

But it was no wonder that they would act this way.

A third-echelon weapon had its original attributes increased by 150%. Its attack alone was equivalent to increasing the user’s damage by one qi realm. The damage of a player with a Blessed Realm martial art at a high level would gain the damage of someone with a Mystical Realm martial art at Grandmaster Realm. If the weapon reached the hands of high-cla.s.s martial artist with a Mystical Realm martial art, it would basically mean that they would have the damage of someone who had a Life and Death Realm martial art at its peak!

It was equivalent to a Mystical Realm player having a Life and Death Realm martial art with a high realm. Whoever had that weapon could kill monsters above their level, farm treasures, and kill with ease!

Countless people could sniff a b.l.o.o.d.y air that caused people to go mad after seeing the third-echelon weapon.

If that weapon which was akin to a divine weapon in their eyes was not priced at an exorbitant price of 99,990,000 taels of silver, the merchants who had their greed stirred up might have devoured it a long time ago.

However, Kind Tyc.o.o.n got rid of the offer after he put in on the commission shop for less than three minutes.

His messenger pigeon then landed in Happy’s hands. The smugness and pride in the letter was very clear. [Well? It’s a pity that the failure rate for forging third-echelon items is too high. It’d be too much of a waste if we forged normal weapons, so I need more high-grade masterpieces. As long as you’re willing to offer them, in at most one and a half months later, I can give priority to you and sell this weapon to you.]

It was a very tempting offer.

A third-echelon high-grade masterpiece that increased 1,000 damage was probably the very first masterpiece that would set at an exorbitant price in the game. Happy would be lying if he said he was not tempted.

But he noticed something that made him even more intrigued behind the news that Kind Tyc.o.o.n had a third-echelon weapon.

[Tyc.o.o.n, do you have unakites and Stones with Water?]

It had to be known that it was definitely impossible to successfully refine a third-echelon weapon. If he had refined it multiple times, then it meant that he definitely had some unakites and Stones with Water.

Those two items were, coincidentally, the necessities for repairing Golden Armor. If Happy could get a complete Golden Armor and that third-echelon weapon… how terrifying would he be? He could go into the royal mausoleum and the depths of Shennongjia with no problem! As long as he did not run into Nine-tailed Fox, which was a monster of destruction, he would not face any problems again.

Even though the defense of Silver Aquatic Dragon Set was very high and was only 100 defense points lower than that of Golden Armor, the domineering defense that reduced 20% damage to the internal organs along with the unique characteristic that allowed the player to retain their posture destined Golden Armor to not be something that normal armor could hope to compare to. Even if Happy only had the most important part of the Golden Armor Set, that one component alone already surpa.s.sed Silver Aquatic Dragon Set.

Kind Tyc.o.o.n was stunned speechless. He did not expect that Happy’s attention would s.h.i.+ft from the third-echelon masterpiece to something else, and he was silent for a long while before he replied. [These two items are the main materials used to increase the echelon of a weapon. Of course I have them.]

‘Yes!’

Happy felt excited.

He already had Vajra Stone. As long as he could repair Golden Armor, he had absolute confidence that he could clear the royal mausoleum. Bringing about b.l.o.o.d.y murder to the royal mausoleum for Kind Tyc.o.o.n would be nothing at that time.

[Let’s set aside the third-echelon weapon for now. Set a price. I want one unakite and one Stone with Water.]

[Since it’s you, I can sell you a set at market price. The unakites will be two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver, and the Stones with Water will be six hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver.]

When Kind Tyc.o.o.n heard that he would be conducting an extra trade, he decisively offered a good price, which was the market price.

Happy did not hesitate and made the trade.

Even though the commission shop offered peer-to-peer trade, if the player sent out a trade offer and stated the buyer’s ident.i.ty to show who they wanted to trade to, then only that person could complete the trade.

When the system deducted three million and eighty thousand taels of silver, Happy obtained a brilliant dark blue crystal. It was clear, dazzling, and very beautiful.

Stone with Water was slightly inferior in comparison. It only shone with a faint bluish-purple light and was on a completely different level compared to the unakite!

[I can agree to your trade.] Once Happy obtained all the materials to repair Golden Armor, he quickly replied to Kind Tyc.o.o.n in a good mood. [We’ll complete the trade for two hundred berthierites half an hour later. I can’t give you the high-grade masterpieces right now. Give me at most seven days, and I can give you an answer.]

Happy knew that Kind Tyc.o.o.n wanted to gather high-grade masterpieces to refine more third-echelon masterpieces so that he could gain great benefits. But he did not care that he was going to be used. [Once I give you one hundred high-grade masterpieces. Let me rent your third-echelon Clear Abyss for one month.]

[No problem!]

The business deal with Kind Tyc.o.o.n was achieved just like that.
