Chen Yu was in a great mood.
Or rather, he was ecstatic.
Who would have thought that the demon girl's compensation would be two sets of equipment blueprints?
Two sets!
Emphasis on: Sets.
A full set of five pieces: shirt, pants, shoes, wrist guards, and helmet.
Chen Yu's current adventure set only had three pieces.
When the Cave Dungeon Great Demon King made a move, giving him two blueprint sets – who could resist that?
[Azure Edge Helmet Blueprint: A set blueprint imbued with Bronze power. Do you know that beyond Black Iron lies Bronze? Such a realm is the aspiration of Black Iron.]
[Learning Time Required: 24 Hours]
Look at that.
This was the Bronze set!
Black Iron aspired to it.
A model for us all!
The surging aura of a Bronze King washed over him. Even just looking at the description, Chen Yu felt his soul tremble.
He learned all the Bronze set blueprints.
Chen Yu then turned his gaze to the Silver blueprints.
[Bright Silver Helmet Blueprint: Once Silver appears, who can contend? All below Silver are but ants. Imbued with the power to subvert all things, Silver power! From now on, you will no longer be a mere Black Iron fodder; small Bronze beings are nothing to fear. Rejoice, for with this, you will no longer be at the tail end of the cave dungeon. Charge!]
[Learning Time Required: 72 Hours]
Whoa!
Heart-stopping.
Gazing at the description of the Bright Silver set, Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Could this be—
This was the Silver realm?
It belittled someone like him in the Bronze realm as utterly worthless, exuding the arrogance of the Silver realm from every word. But, it also possessed the qualification.
In the eyes of the Silver realm, Bronze and Black Iron were like common chickens and dogs.
Not worth mentioning!
Especially the final word, "Charge!" made Chen Yu's blood boil with excitement.
Whether others charged or not, he would charge first!
Charge!
[Dungeon Reminder: Learning Bright Silver Helmet Blueprint, remaining time 60 hours.]
Oh ho.
Feeling great.
Opening the crafting interface, the equipment section was no longer as desolate as before. The shimmering multicolored sword, the glowing adventure three-piece set, finally welcomed new members.
The five-piece Bronze and Silver sets.
With them, Chen Yu could significantly upgrade the equipment of his camp and city guards. Black Iron realm, wearing the Adventure set.
Bronze realm, wearing the Azure Edge set.
Silver realm, wearing the Bright Silver set.
Given the scarcity of equipment in the cave dungeon, even ordinary towns might not possess such a setup. In the outer regions of the cave dungeon, they would be absolutely unrivaled.
The only regret, perhaps, was that these sets did not have a guaranteed tier.
The adventure three-piece set.
Possessed the prefix of Perfect grade.
The worst made would be Perfect grade, with no need for concern.
The two sets given by the Great Demon King, though five-piece sets, had an unknown tier upon crafting. No one could guarantee what grade the crafted items would be.
"It's fine, though."
Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
He could sell them!
The equipment market was vast. Chen Yu had no worries about whether his broken equipment could be sold.
Perfect grade ones for his own people.
The other lower-grade equipment would be exported.
There were still over a billion cave dungeon survivors. If each person got one, he could sell over a billion sets. Moreover, wouldn't they also need to upgrade their equipment?
No worry about sales!
Leaning back in his chair, Chen Yu's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Initially, he wanted to make a fortune selling food. Now, it seemed he could completely transform into a cave dungeon arms dealer. Furthermore, his customer base was not limited to survivors; the indigenous inhabitants of the cave dungeon were also his customers.
They also needed equipment.
However, equipment crafting blueprints were scarce, the equipment blacksmiths could forge was limited, and it took a very long time, with unstable quality.
At this moment, Chen Yu appeared, set to influence the entire cave dungeon's equipment market.
"Chen Yu, you have such good fortune." Chen Yu couldn't help but exclaim faintly. Possessing Greed's Critical Hit was already unsolvable, and he also had Barbara, a great moneybags.
"Chen Yu!"
Just as Chen Yu was congratulating himself, the demon girl ran over with a jar.
"Cheese~"
"No problem." Chen Yu didn't hesitate, filling the jar with a clatter. "Eat heartily, and if you finish it, we have more."
"Hmph~"
Carrying the jar, the demon girl wrinkled her nose and ran back.
"Take care." Chen Yu waved with a smile, but a low whisper suddenly reached his ears, "Boss, when did you become so obsequious?"
"Get lost."
Chen Yu turned his head to see Hei Dou squatting not far away, licking his paws, and glared at him.
"You know how to come back? Did you sleep well among the women last night?"
"It was great!" Hei Dou said excitedly, "Boss, I'm telling you, the girls in our city are so fragrant, so delicious."
"..."
"Just last night, several girls were fighting to hold me while sleeping, it was truly..."
Hei Dou was still boasting about his glorious achievements from the previous night, not realizing that Chen Yu had lost interest in him. Leaning back in his chair, he looked at the chat content in the regional channel and the private messages he had received.
"Boss?"
Blinking, Hei Dou leaped onto Chen Yu.
"Are you jealous?"
"Hmph?" Chen Yu sneered. Hei Dou heard this and chuckled slyly. "You're jealous, you're jealous. It's okay, I won't laugh at you. Hey, Boss, was the one in the black dress just now Little Demon? Why were you so polite to him?"
"He gave me two equipment blueprints."
"Just that?" Hei Dou pouted. "I thought he gave you something amazing. What's so great about two equipment blueprints?"
"You know nothing."
Chen Yu said with a look of disdain.
Just then, a video call invitation suddenly popped up on his wristband. To no one's surprise, the inviter was Jiang Yaqing.
"You don't think equipment blueprints are valuable? Just wait, I'll show you." Immediately, Chen Yu accepted the video call. In the image, Jiang Yaqing stood in a vast expanse of ice and snow, holding a thermos cup and sipping hot water.
Perhaps from standing in the snow for too long, a layer of frost had accumulated on her eyelashes.
Her cheeks were also frozen red.
It did add a touch of cuteness to her.
"Chen Yu~"
As soon as the image stabilized, Jiang Yaqing's voice came from the video. Hearing this, Chen Yu raised his hand, interrupting Jiang Yaqing.
"Wait a moment, I have something I need to consult you about."
"Ah?" Jiang Yaqing in the ice and snow looked bewildered, blinking. "What's wrong with you now? Don't you know the cave dungeon better than me? Do you still need to consult me?"
"Just asking~"
"Ask away."
Jiang Yaqing nodded slightly, holding her thermos.
"Please listen to the question!" Chen Yu whispered softly, "Suppose someone gives you two equipment blueprints, one for a Bronze set and one for a Silver set. Afterward, she snorts at you with a very bad attitude, can you accept it?"
"Ah?"
Jiang Yaqing, holding her thermos, was immediately stunned. Her frost-covered eyelashes perked up, and her large eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Two sets of equipment blueprints, and she snorts at me, can I accept it?"
"Hmm~"
"I cannot accept it."
"See?" Hei Dou glared, raising a paw. Chen Yu also looked surprised, then heard Jiang Yaqing say seriously, "How can she just snort at me twice? She should have kicked me twice more, or maybe let me eat two pounds of Old Ba's secret mini-burgers, otherwise—"
"I wouldn't feel safe taking these blueprints."
