Chapter 32: Crafted Equipment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By beast rankings, Xiaobai was born an ordinary beast soldier. After evolution, it would become a beast general. Qin Feng could also feel that Xiaobai’s personal storage s.p.a.ce had increased to ten meters. Initially, it was only about a meter long. In other words, it was equivalent to a cubic meter. And now it had transformed into 1,000 cubic meters. That was as big as a house.
Even Qin Feng himself felt that Xiaobai’s ability of rapid expansion was grossly overpowered. Inside Xiaobai’s s.p.a.ce, Qin Feng could spot some other things lying around. There were two front teeth, nails from paws, and a pile of fur. All these belonged to the giant rats. Of course, some flesh had been left there as well.
Qin Feng came across an idea when he saw all the unused materials. Undeniably, a T3 uniform was really tough and practical. It was made with skin and fur with the latest technology. It could be used to keep someone warm or cool them down, not to mention that they almost always came at reasonable prices. However, Qin Feng would not forget when Lu Meng got attacked by the jackals. A swipe from the jackal was powerful enough to tear apart her T3 battle suit. Luckily, she had inner armor, which protected her from the lethal attack.
Inner armor of this kind was known as Rune Equipments. This type of Rune Equipment was made of the beast’s skin and fur as well, each which required different techniques to craft them. For example, Rune Equipments with silver rays were made of a beast king’s fur and skin. One would usually put on this kind of Rune Equipment with an outer armor. The armor type could be concealed with light-emitting paint, masking its real color.
Beast soldiers would emit blue light.
Beast generals would emit purple light.
Beast kings would emit silver light.
Beast emperors would emit golden light!
“I think all these materials here are enough to craft a Rune Equipment!” he thought to himself.
Qin Feng then glanced at his communicator. He had earned around 1.2 million. After the rat tsunami fight, he was rewarded with 6.73 million. Add that up with the 900,000 that he made from the bet, he now had a total of 8.8 million yuan in his account. That stash of money was almost enough to buy an entire Rune Equipment.
After pondering over some thoughts, he decided he could significantly lower its cost if he provided the blacksmith with materials. And so, he decided that it would be the first thing he would do in the morning.
……..
The second day, at the center of Chengbei Colony.
Half a month ago, Qin Feng had bought a T3 battle suit in this very place. The moment he entered the shop, the staff swiftly approached him. After all, Qin Feng had gone through a huge transformation. This time, he was tightly equipped with a battlesuit, no longer the messy urchin that entered his shop half a month ago.
Qin Feng realized that the one who welcomed him was the same employee that had sold him the battlesuit half a month ago. His name was Sun Yu.
“Hi sir, it’s you again. How may I be of service?”
He was surprised that Sun Yu could still recognize him.
“Erm… I want to craft some equipment, but you’ll have to keep it a secret. Do you think you can do it for me?” asked Qin Feng with a raised eyebrow.
Crafting a piece of Rune Equipment was extremely expensive. Seeing the opportunity for a handsome profit, Sun Yu was extremely excited.
“Yes. I can do it. Please follow me!”
Sun Yu then brought Qin Feng to the guest room, where they both could be alone. Scanning around for a bit, Qin Feng did not find any camera around him and was eventually satisfied. Finally, he took out the materials that he had in his backpack and showed them to Sun Yu.
“Take a look at all these materials!” said Qin Feng.
Sun Yu’s heart was thumping in his chest. Though he was still young, he was an enthusiast and had delved deep into crafting equipment after landing himself this job. There was a total of three floors at Wanzong Organization. Considering most of the people from Chengbei Colony could afford them, the battlesuits could be easily found on the first floor.
The second and third floor was where the good stuff was. Here, a large amount of high-tier equipment could be found. That included Rune Equipment and G-tier equipment. They had at least 100,000 pieces of equipment lying around.
“Sir, if I’m not mistaken, this is the skin and fur of a beast king. Judging by its size, it should be sufficient to make a s.h.i.+rt. If there’s material left, we can craft them into gloves, arm guards, and knee pads.”
Sun Yu was ecstatic, being his first time getting such a big business opportunity.
“Prioritize the s.h.i.+rt! I want to craft combat sabers with those tusks. Of course, I know I have limited materials here. The dagger doesn’t have to be big. Just make sure that the quality is top-notch!”
“No problem, sir! The total for both items comes up to three million yuan. You’ll need to pay 10% upfront, and you can come and collect the product in ten days.”
“Great!”
Qin Feng then signed a contract with Sun Yu and paid 300,000 yuan.
After that, Sun Yu brought over a safe that resembled a box with a pa.s.sword secured lock and stored all the materials in front of Qin Feng. It would then be sent to Wanzong Factory where a camera would record the entire process of crafting the equipment. This ensured that every piece of material could be traced and would be accounted for.
Having gotten himself a deal, he opened the door and exited with a smile.
Upon leaving the shop, a car advertis.e.m.e.nt that was playing on the big screen on a building caught Qin Feng’s attention. All the while, he had no intention to purchase one. However, Xiaobai’s storage s.p.a.ce had grown exponentially all of a sudden. Now seemed like the right time.
“Let’s go take a look!” he grinned while rubbing his hands together.
Immediately, he walked towards the showroom conveniently located below the giant billboard. Before he was reborn, all the cars around here were luxurious sedans. After all, he was an A-tier ability user. He would need to drive to dangerous areas from time to time, which was why he skipped all the cars that were not practical. Due to his limited funds, Qin Feng did not have many options to choose from.
Soon, he found his target.
Hovering Phantom Series.
This one was a looker. It had the s.e.xy curves of a supercar and was so low it almost sc.r.a.ped the ground. Its wheels were concealed, with only part of them visible from the outside. One look would tell such a car wasn’t equipped for the off-road ruggedness of the wilderness.
What made it so in-demand was that it was powered by a wind attribute energy rune, allowing it to float at least three meters from the ground. With this technology, the car could actually drive over whatever terrain it encountered
And of course, the latest in technology did come with a hefty price. Carrying a ridiculous price tag of eight million yuan, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to procure. To the ability users and Ancient Warriors, on the other hand, this car severely lacked in defense.
Driving around with it was like a deathtrap, with little to no protective elements. In other words, it was a dud, something that was brawn over brain. Worse, it was usually driven by rich brats as a status symbol.
Qin Feng weighed his options. It wasn’t all negative. With the s.p.a.ce that Qin Feng had right now, getting a less than stellar vehicle wouldn’t be much of a problem. Besides, the Hovering Phantom was the cheapest hovercar he could find in the market right now.
