Chapter 512: Meat metal
Ye Zhongming handed a white bracelet over.
This wasn’t a piece of equipment he crafted but one he traded from some guy on his way to Cloud Port. It was the Speed Up Bracelet. One could use it every three days to increase straight-line speed for one second.
Such equipment was useful sometimes, but it was too feminine. Many guys in the core of Cloud Peak didn’t want it. The female members were also spoiled by Ye Zhongming and looked down on this equipment with only one ability.
Ye Zhongming knew that his subordinates looked down on its long cooldown and short skill time.
Honestly, Ye Zhongming didn’t like it either.
He was planning to reward other members with it. But when he saw the metal, he took it out.
Whether or not the ability was good, it was still a white piece of equipment. It could be sold for more than five level-four demon crystals so that woman would agree. She wanted to grab it, but Ye Zhongming dodged.
“I want more than this piece; I want all of them!”
“How do you know?”
This woman exclaimed instinctively, and after realizing something, her expression changed.
“Meta Metal is a stone-material formed in the body of mutated lifeforms. They are like pearls and are produced by mutated ocean lifeforms. There are signs of cuts, so this is just a piece. I want all of them.”
He said something she had never heard before and continued, “Do you think such a small piece of material that isn’t even rare in Cloud Port would be worth one white piece of equipment, right? Without 25 kilograms of this, I will find someone else. I would just need to spend more time.”
Her expression changed. She glanced at the white bracelet once more and made her mind up. She told him to wait before keeping everything and running in a direction.
“Boss, you know the price so accurately?” Little Tiger praised. He didn’t get a Battle Contribution Badge, so he tried to suck up more to the boss.
Apart from Ye Zhongming, the other five went to Xia Lei, Liang Chuyin, Shengyuan, Park Xiuying, and Xia Bai.
As tanking damage increased contribution, Shengyuan and Park Xiuying were suitable to wear the badges. As for the other three women, Xia Bai was the strongest and gained points quickly. Xia Lei was the big sister and Ye Zhongming’s woman, so she had priority. As for the influencer, her AOE ability was very quick in getting points, too.
The others had to wait for the next batch.
“I just said a random number; who knows if she has that many.”
The others laughed when they heard that. Little Tiger looked awkwardly into the sky as if he wasn’t the one trying to suck up.
That woman returned quickly and had not only 25 kilograms but 100!
After bargaining with Ye Zhongming, he paid two three-star potions to get everything.
Meat metal was one of the materials that Ye Zhongming wanted to get from Cloud Port. It was a needed material to make the Thousand Leaf Phosphor Armor.
After this purplish black metal was worked on, it would give off a silver light. It had a high defense. Such metal that grew in the bodies of ocean lifeforms were rare in Ying City, but they were quite common here. He bumped into it so openly in the market today.
With this, Ye Zhongming stopped staying here and returned to the base to make the armor. He had started collecting the other materials since he got the blueprint, and it had been half a year.
Ye Zhongming followed the requirements and started to craft. One armor needed 5 kilograms of metal, Song Bird Silk, Chicken Beast Liquid, etc materials. He dealt with them individually. As this was his first time, the success rate was only 40%, but as he had used the Smith heart, it increased his rate by 15%, meaning he had a success rate of over 50%.
Materials disappeared from his hands. The meat metal became a sticky liquid, forming an armor covering half the body. It floated in the sky. Ye Zhongming used mental energy to shape it according to the blueprint. He knew that the crucial moment was here. The time when you threw in the final material was when it was easiest to fail.
Fortunately, he was fortunate, and he didn’t fail. When the light dimmed, the liquid hardened. Ten minutes passed, and a silver armor appeared in his hands.
“Thousand Leaf Phosphor Armor (Silver), Ability 1, defense 106, toughness 119.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t have a clear understanding of the basic stats. Some equipment had them, but some didn’t. But a three-digit one was high, meaning its defense was really good.
“Ability 2, Fish Armor Absorb, scales spread out, giving the user the ability to glide. 10-hour cooldown and uses mental energy.”
This ability was great and would come in handy.
“Ability 3, Thousand Leaf Fly, equipment self-destruction ability. After use, the scales would attack targets within a certain area. All the scales will fall off, and the equipment will be permanently damaged.”
Ye Zhongming was stunned when he saw the third ability. He didn’t expect it to have such an ability. Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough materials; if not, he wanted to test how strong his ability was.
He placed this exquisite armor down. He thought about it and started to craft the next one.
Based on the blueprint, the armor level was related to the Smith level, job familiarity, material level, etc. It would go from white to green. If he added some better materials, it could even reach blue. When one was lucky, three chisel holes might even appear!
But, the materials added couldn’t be ordinary, and the success rate would significantly reduce.
Ye Zhongming wanted to reach the highest grade this time.
He refined the material in his hands to raise the materials to white. He used his previous experience to craft and tossed the best material he had on him.
Ghost metal.
He received notification that the success rate dropped to 20%. Even if the basic smith heart, he only had slightly above a third chance of succeeding.
Ye Zhongming didn’t care and started crafting.
He wanted to see if he could make a green piece of equipment.
