Chapter 175 Editor

Chen Guo had long since noticed what Ye Xiu was about to do.

Equipment Editor! A feature that every player in Glory possessed, but very few actually knew how to use. Chen Guo had certainly curiously tried it out, but she was completely clueless. During her exploration, she had only wasted a few pieces of equipment and materials for nothing.

In truth, the Equipment Editor wasn't that complicated. It was just a tool, like a pen. How do you use it? Everyone knows. But some people can use a pen to write articles, while others can use a pen to draw pictures. What you create with the tool is the key.

And Chen Guo was stuck at the stage of knowing how to use a pen. As for using the pen to write articles or draw pictures, she was completely in the dark.

Initially, Ye Xiu simply copied the materials one by one using templates. The operation was simple, as long as he didn't mix up the materials. Until now, when he entered the grinding interface, Chen Guo's eyes immediately lit up. This was truly using the Equipment Editor to sculpt a material.

Chen Guo didn't know how, but she knew this was a delicate process. So she didn't dare to say much, even just stealing glances.

She saw Ye Xiu put the newly acquired blue crystal into the grinding panel and immediately start the operation.

Cutting, drilling, wiring, smoothing…

Chen Guo had tried all sorts of functions, but she was just randomly operating on a piece of material. Now, Ye Xiu's first step was obviously planned and purposeful.

The shape of the complete blue and white crystal gradually changed under his operation. It couldn't be described as round or square. It was completely tailored according to the operator's intentions.

There was a central force-bearing area, and areas for connecting with other parts.

Movable parts, immovable parts, and parts specifically restricting movement.

The fist-sized blue and white crystal became more and more complex and exquisite. All of this was done by Ye Xiu using the grinding panel functions that Chen Guo had played around with randomly.

Simple techniques, but they condensed into magical results, so magical that Chen Guo found it unbelievable.

Half an hour.

The grinding of the blue and white crystal took a full half hour. It wasn't until Ye Xiu suddenly stopped that Chen Guo came back to her senses. She had actually been squinting for half an hour, and she felt a twinge of pain in her eyes as soon as she recovered. It was tiring to look askance for so long.

Seeing Ye Xiu stop and remain motionless for a long time, Chen Guo finally asked, "Is it done?"

Ye Xiu nodded. "Done."

As he spoke, the polished blue and white crystal was taken out of the grinding panel and placed with the other materials.

This was the panel for making weapons from materials. The sheer number of components for the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella made the material list dazzling. At this point, Ye Xiu didn't start immediately. While resting, he opened a document from his mailbox. Chen Guo saw that it was the blueprint for the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and quickly turned her head away.

Such things were highly confidential in Glory. This was like a martial arts manual in the Glory circle. It was unethical to look without permission.

"It doesn't matter. You can look if you want," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Really?"

"You didn't avoid me when I was getting materials just now. Why are you being so polite now?" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo was stunned and immediately felt very embarrassed.

"I forgot, sorry…" Chen Guo apologized sincerely. Indeed, if the blueprints couldn't be viewed, then the production process shouldn't be viewed either. Chen Guo had forgotten this for a moment, but it was precisely because she had no intention of secretly learning anything.

"I said it doesn't matter!" Ye Xiu said.

"Are you going to assemble the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella now?" Chen Guo was too embarrassed to look any closer and changed the subject directly.

"Yes, I'm going over the blueprints carefully again," Ye Xiu said.

"Good luck," Chen Guo said, already turning her head back. This time, she was completely focused forward.

Ye Xiu smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't care whether people watched or not. After carefully reviewing the assembly process diagram for the level 50 Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, he sorted it out in his mind.

Given the complexity of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, it was impossible to memorize the level 50 process diagram by rote. Ye Xiu was able to imprint it in his mind because of his understanding of the theory. Memorizing on the basis of understanding was twice the result with half the effort.

After sorting it out, Ye Xiu didn't go out for a smoke break to relax this time. He quickly started the level 50 assembly.

The room became extremely quiet. Chen Guo and Tang Rou, who should have been playing the game and making some noise, didn't make any sounds at this moment.

They didn't deliberately avoid him, but they deliberately created an environment that allowed Ye Xiu to concentrate.

Click, click…

The only sound in the room was the clicking of Ye Xiu's mouse, step by step, link by link, afraid of making the slightest mistake.

After a while, it was time to implant the blue and white crystal. Unsuitable materials could also be polished into the current component shape, but in practice, they always failed. The slightly worse ones would be damaged during the implantation and splicing process, while the better ones could at least last until the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was formed. However, they would break after only a few uses.

With such a complex component as the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, one incorrect part would lead to complete failure. The creator also disassembled and studied its structure. This study eventually realized the transitional form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella before it was fully completed, which saved a lot of costs for the research. However, the final completed form could no longer use a disassembled structure.

"Click!"

Ye Xiu didn't hesitate at all in the blue and white crystal component link. He accurately implanted it into the event. The slight crisp sound was very pleasant and comfortable, a good sign of success.

Ye Xiu didn't linger here for too long. The implantation of the blue and white crystal component was just one link in the process, not the final one. Then, he continued to build the other components one by one according to the process.

Half an hour. The whole process took another half hour.

After hearing Ye Xiu exhale a long breath, Chen Guo resisted the urge to turn around and take a look. It wasn't until she heard Ye Xiu say "Done" that she finally turned around.

"Done?" Chen Guo turned her head, and even Tang Rou across the table looked over.

"Let's try it out in the game!" Ye Xiu said, exiting the Equipment Editor and returning to the game.

Chen Guo watched anxiously, and she was also curious about what other magical powers this level 50 final form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella would have. Who knew that after Ye Xiu returned to the game, he had Lord Grim pick up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and, without even leaving the main city to find any monsters, just swish, swish, swish, transformed and attacked a few times, and then nodded. "Done."

"That's… it?"

"That's it!" Ye Xiu said.

"Just a few moves? Are you sure there's no problem?" Chen Guo said.

"You seem to be hoping there's a problem?" Ye Xiu said.

"No… are you being too careless with this inspection?" Chen Guo said.

"It's just like this. What did you expect?" Ye Xiu manipulated Lord Grim again, shaking the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella a few times. "See, it didn't fall apart. A great success!"

It didn't fall apart…

Chen Guo was still considering whether to immediately log on to her God Domain account to admire what magical powers the completed Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had. Was "didn't fall apart" the ultimate pursuit of the completed form?

"Let me see the attributes," Chen Guo said.

Ye Xiu opened the weapon panel to show Chen Guo. She immediately noticed that there were many more words in the silver-white attribute description of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

In Chen Guo's initial memory, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had nothing but basic attributes. Although the basic attributes were indeed superior to orange weapons of the same level, if it was really just like that, without any additional attributes, then this weapon would definitely be pale. Just like the lowest-level white-letter equipment in the game, which had no additional attributes.

But now, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had additional attributes, and quite a few of them.

Right now, Ye Xiu was only showing Chen Guo the most basic umbrella form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. The level 50 umbrella form had 535 physical attack and 535 magical attack. Among the additional attributes, it added 10 to stamina, strength, intelligence, and spirit right off the bat.

Same physical attack and magical attack, all four stats added…

With these attributes, Chen Guo immediately realized that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, in its untransformed umbrella form, was already a weapon of a certain class.

This was clearly the attribute characteristic of a priest's most commonly used weapon, the scepter.

And seeing the four stats added by 10, Chen Guo didn't bother to continue looking at the bottom and immediately thought of another question: "Does the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella have basic attribute points for each form now?"

"Yes!" Ye Xiu said, having Lord Grim shake the umbrella, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella became a spear. The first line of additional attributes was strength plus 41.

"Then how much are your four stats now?" Chen Guo exclaimed.

Ye Xiu paused slightly and then realized what Chen Guo was shocked about. He then opened his character panel.

"It doesn't seem that great…" Chen Guo said hesitantly, after all, she was facing a pro, and she was under a lot of pressure, afraid that she would say something wrong because of her low level.

Just after she finished speaking, the panel seemed to jump, and Lord Grim's four-dimensional attributes suddenly changed. The strength had dropped a bit, and the intelligence had risen again.

"This…" Chen Guo saw that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in Lord Grim's hand had changed into another form and immediately understood: "Not every attribute attached to the weapon will be added?"

"Of course not," Ye Xiu said. "When the weapon is in a certain form, the character has the attributes of that form."

"Can't you add all the attributes of all the forms together?" Chen Guo felt that this whimsical idea was very valuable, especially since the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella clearly already had it. This was just a weapon, anyway, and the attributes were all on it, so maybe there was some way to stack them?

"If it could be like that, would I still need additional attributes? If the basic attack power was stacked up, I could kill anyone in seconds," Ye Xiu said.

"Uh…" Chen Guo didn't say anything. She really was thinking too far ahead.
