Chapter 51 A Weapon That Can't Be Hidden
"Finally out of money?" Ye Xiu laughed.
This person… was planning to lose all her money and then stop! Tang Rou jumped up: "Wait, I'll go get more."
"Tang mm, forget it…" Those around who knew Tang Rou were trying to persuade her.
"Little Tang…" Chen Guo also quickly came over to stop her. With this girl's competitive spirit, Chen Guo had no doubt she would keep losing until she was bankrupt. And the most annoying thing was that Ye Xiu didn't even give her a way out after winning.
But then they heard Ye Xiu say from across the way, "Forget it! There's no point in showing off like this…"
Still mocking her! Chen Guo was furious. She turned around, about to speak, when she heard Ye Xiu continue, "You should study hard and at least figure out where the gap between you and me is, and how big it is. Glory isn't something you can win with just mechanics. If you want to fight me, there will be plenty of opportunities."
Chen Guo was taken aback. That made sense. This guy had finally said something reasonable. But saying it at a time like this, could Tang Rou, who was already fired up, even listen?
Tang Rou's steps had already stopped. She stood there, lost in thought. Everything around them was silent, as if everyone was waiting for some major outcome. Chen Guo suddenly felt something move beside her. She turned her head and saw Ye Xiu making faces and gesturing at her. The bastard was telling her to hand over the money!!
Chen Guo was furious! But she also knew that with Tang Rou's temper, it was impossible to get the money she'd taken out back into her wallet. She ignored Ye Xiu for now and waved at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? It's over, everyone, go away, go away."
The onlookers saw that Tang Rou didn't seem to be making any more moves, but they didn't disperse. Instead, they all swarmed over to Ye Xiu's side: "Hey bro, what weapon is that?"
Any Glory player would be concerned with this question. As soon as it was asked, even Chen Guo perked up her ears, wanting to hear the answer, while also trying to comfort Tang Rou. She was simply swamped.
"Heh, it's nothing, just a toy I made myself," Ye Xiu said.
"Self-made weapon??" Someone reacted quickly, instantly understanding the meaning of the words "made myself," and exclaimed in surprise.
Instantly, there was an uproar. Self-made equipment was high-end content that ordinary players simply couldn't access. Glory had been operating for ten years, and the self-made equipment methods that had been released online could only produce orange-tier equipment at best. Truly legendary silver equipment that surpassed orange equipment had only been seen by players in the professional league. How could these professional clubs possibly reveal the crafting methods for silver equipment? Those were their weapons for competing in the professional league.
"Hey bro, can we take a look?" Someone asked, standing next to Ye Xiu.
"Sure!" Ye Xiu smiled and showed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to the onlookers.
Chen Guo reached out and put her arm around Tang Rou's shoulders, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's go upstairs and rest for a while." But she couldn't help but crane her neck to see what exactly Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was holding. Tang Rou saw her expression and couldn't help but laugh, "If you want to see, just go look!"
Chen Guo turned her head when she heard that and saw that Tang Rou wasn't brooding, so she was greatly relieved. She continued to hug Tang Rou as they went upstairs, saying imperiously, "Hmph, I'll look later. If he dares not show me, I'll fire him."
The onlookers looked at the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's stats and were all surprised. Everyone here knew their stuff, and most of them were playing in the new server, so they were very familiar with low-level weapons. One glance was all it took to know that this was a true silver weapon! The legendary silver weapon that surpassed orange weapons.
"Awesome, how did you make it?" Someone blurted out.
Ye Xiu smiled without saying anything, so no one pursued the question. Even the guy who had blurted it out earlier realized he had misspoke. Which self-made equipment wasn't created with painstaking effort? No one would casually ask about someone else's hard work.
"What a pity! It's only level 5…"
"It's only the opening of the server! With the materials you can get now, can you make a level 70 one?"
"Isn't that right? I heard that self-made weapons only depend on the materials, not the material level!"
"Damn, you know so much. If you know so much, why don't you make one?"
"I just heard, just heard…"
The players discussed animatedly. Ye Xiu only smiled and listened without joining the discussion. Ordinary players only had a vague understanding of this high-end content, so they couldn't say anything definite. But the legendary self-made silver weapon had appeared right in front of them. That alone was enough for everyone to talk about, but everyone made sure to add at the end: Too bad it's only level 5.
Level 5 equipment, no matter how heaven-defying, was worthless. Everyone understood that. Although most players also knew that self-made weapons could be upgraded using the editor, upgrading was just as difficult as making them in the first place. The slightest mistake could ruin the weapon. Level 5… that starting point was too low, the space needed for upgrading was too large. Players subconsciously felt that upgrading this thing directly was worse than just making a higher-level one.
"Hey bro, what other classes' silver weapons can you make?" Someone was good at grasping the key point. Compared to one silver weapon, this craftsman who could make silver weapons was more valuable.
"I can't make any more. This one was just made by messing around with a bunch of materials," Ye Xiu said.
"Hey bro, if you can still make anything, I'll provide the materials myself. You can name your price." Someone was still unwilling to give up. Self-made equipment! Something that usually seemed out of reach was now right in front of them.
"I really can't. If I could, would I still be sitting here?" Ye Xiu said.
The unwilling people fell silent. Indeed, someone who could make self-made weapons was an even more valuable talent than a regular game expert. They could close their doors and make a fortune, or they could get a job in a professional club's technical team.
"Hey bro, are you going to run a dungeon? Let's go together!" At this time, someone started inviting Ye Xiu to play the game together, obviously someone who also played in the tenth server.
"I'm out of attempts," Ye Xiu laughed.
"Let's play together sometime!"
"Okay."
With pleasantries and attempts to get closer, the players gradually dispersed. Ye Xiu let out a long sigh. To be honest, self-made weapons were too precious and should be protected with the spirit of not flaunting wealth. Glory didn't allow you to check other people's equipment through the system, which made it easier to conceal them.
But the problem was that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was too special. What other weapon in the game could transform like that? Any player with a little common sense could guess that it was self-made. And that was the weapon's greatest value and characteristic. It was impossible not to use it in actual combat, so the weapon simply couldn't be hidden.
Ye Xiu sighed and closed the equipment interface, only to see Chen Guo rush in from the second floor with lightning speed. She ran behind Ye Xiu and asked, "What weapon? What weapon?"
"Self-made weapon, see for yourself…" Ye Xiu helplessly opened it again.
"Uh…" Chen Guo was admiring it, her head filled with a hundred thousand whys like the other players, but she also knew that there were some things that shouldn't be asked.
"Is it because of this weapon that you plan to play as an unspecialized?" Chen Guo asked.
"Smart," Ye Xiu praised.
"You're too secretive," Chen Guo realized that she needed to re-evaluate Ye Xiu. This guy who had been eliminated from the pro scene was more profound than she had imagined! Although she didn't actually know how high the pro scene was…
"Have I ever hidden anything?" Ye Xiu countered.
