Matapos marinig ni Ye Xiung sumigaw si Tang Rou ng "Isa pa!" hindi ito nagalinlangan ng isang katititing. Pinatatag lang nito ang hawak sa kanyang mouse at handa ulit na patayin at tanggalan ng ulo ang babae sa muling pagkakataon. Ngunit, matapos niyang marinig ang sigaw ngayon ay hindi nsiya pumasok sa stage. Tumayo si Ye Xiu at nakutang binubulatlat ni Tang Rou ang walang laman na pitaka.
"Sa wakas wala ng pera?" tumatawang sabi ni Ye Xiu.
Itong lalaking ito… nagiintay lang na mawalan siya ng pera para tumigil?! Unti unting tumayo si Tang Rou: "Sandali lang kukuha pa ako ng marami."
"Sis Tang kalimutan mo na lang ito…" sinubukan ng lahat ng tao sa paligid na kumbinsihin siya.
"Little Tang…" pumunta rin si Chen Gou para harangan siya. Sa pagka makumpitensya ng babaeng ito, walang duda si Chen Gou na susubukan nito ang lahat hanggang sa ma-bankrupt na siya. Ito ang nakakapandiring parte kay Ye Xiu. Matapos niyang Manalo hindi man lang niya ito binigyan ng pagkakataong makalabas sa nakakahiyang sitwasyon.
Sa huli narinig niya si Ye Xiu ng nagsabi: "Kalimutan mo na! Itong klase nang padalos dalos ay hindi nakakatuwa…"
Kinukutya niya pa rin! Galti nagalit si Chen Gou. Tumalikod siya at akmang may sasabihin, ng marinig niya ang sunod na sinabi ni Ye Xiu: "Mabuti pa't matuto ka muna ng maayos. Dapat alamin mom una kung gaano kalaki ang agwat natin sa isa't isa. Hindi ka mananalo sa Glory gamit lang ang hand speed mo. Kung gusto mo akong makalaban, marami pang pagkakataon mamaya."
Nagulat naman si Chen Gou. Ito sa katunayan ay matino at risonable. Sa wakas nakapagsalita na rin itong lalaking ito ng parang sa normal na tao. Pero sa mga oras na ito, paanong pagtutuunan ng pansin ng naglalagablab na si Tang Rou ito?
Ang paglalakad ni Tang Rou tumigil na at tumayo lang ito na Nawala sa kanyang iniiisip. Ang mga nakapalgid na tao ay bigla namang tumahimik. Lahat sila ay nagiintay sa malaking pagtatapos. Nakita naman ni Chen Gou sa gilid ng kanyang mga mata na may gumalaw. Tumalikod siya para tumingin. Ito ay si Ye Xiu na nagbibigay ng makabuluhang tingin at lumilihim ng galaw sa kanya. Itong nakakahiyang lalaking ito ay gustong ibigay ko sa kanya ang pera!
Galit na galit si Chen Gou! Pero alam naman niya ang terper ni Tang Rou siguradong hindi niya hahayaang ibalik sa kanya ang pera. Ngayon sa mga oras na ito, hindi niya pinapansin si Ye Xiu at kumaway sa mga manonood: "Anong tinitingin tingin niya? Tapos na. Go, go."
Noong makita ng mga manonood si Tang Rou na hindi gumagalaw, hindi rin sila gumalaw. Sa halip ay pinalibutan nila si Ye Xiu at nagtanong: "Kuya, anong weapon iyan?"
Tanging mga manlalaro lang na hindi naglalaro ng Glory ang hindi nagkakainteres. Kapag ang tanong na ito ang itinanong, kahit ang mga tenga ni Chen Gou ay naiintriga. Sa kabilang banda, gusto lang niyang marinig ang sagot, pero sa isa pang banda, gusto niyang paginhawain ang loob ni Tang Rou. Pero lintek naman talagang napaka busy niya.
"Ha ha, wala lang iyon. Isang bagay lang iyon na ginawa ko." Sabi ni Ye Xiu
"Self-made weapon?" mabilis na nagreak ang isa. Mabilis naman niyang naintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng apat na salitang "Ginawa ko iyan" at naibulalas sa gulat.
Agad namang nagingay ang mga tao. Self-made equipment, isang high-end na content na hindi manlang mapangarap ng mga normal na manlalarong hawakan. Gumagawa na ang Glory sa loob ng sampung taon. Ang mga paraan sa self-making equipment ay naipublish online, ang pinakamaganda na ang orange-level equipment. Ang totoong legendary silver equipment na nakalampas sa orange equipment ay tanging makikita lang sa professional leagues. Bakit ipamimigay ng mga professional clubs ang kanilang methods sa paggawa ng ganitong silver equipment sa publiko?
"Kuya, pwede ba nammin makita?" tanong ng isa kay Ye Xiu.
"Sige lang!" tumatawang sabi ni Ye Xiu at hinayaang makita nila ang Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
Habang inilagay ni Chen Gou ang kanyang mga kamay sa balikat ni Tang Rou, sinabi niya "Go, go, go, umakyat na tayo at magpahinga saglit." Sabay, hindi niya maiwasang humaba ang leeg habang tinitignan kuung ano ba talaga ang nasa kamay ng Lord Grim ni Ye Xiu. Noong makita ito ni Tang Rou hindi niya maiwasang matawa: "Kung gusto mong makita, pumunta ka doon at tignan mo!"
Nung marinig ito ni Chen Gou at inikot niya ang ulo niya para tumingin. Hindi masama ang loob ni Tang Rou katulad ng kaniyang inaasahan, mabilis naman siyang nakaramdam ng luwag sa kalooban. Pero dinala pa rin niya sa taas si Tang Rou at sinabi ng buong otoridad: "Hmph. Pupunta ako't titingin mamaya. Kung hindi niya ako papayagang tumingin, papatalsikin ko siya."
Ang mga nakapaligid na manonood natumingin sa attributes ng Myriad Manifestation Umbrella at lahat sila ay nauwi sa pagkamangha. Idagdag pa na lahat halos ng manlalarong naglalaro sa bagong server ay napaka pamilyar sa low-leveled weapons. Sa isang tingin palang ay masasabi mon a na isa itong totoong Silver Weapon! Ang Legendary Orange-weaponsurpassing Silver Weapon.
"Ang galing! Paano mo ito ginawa?" pahayag ng isa.
Ngumiti lang si Ye Xiu pero hindi nagsalita, kaya naman wala ng nagtanong pa sa kanya. Kahit ang tao kanina na nagpahayag ay bahagyang nakaramdam ng hindi maganda. Ano ba namang self-made equipment ang hindi gawa sa dugo, pawis at luha? Sinong ba namang magtatangkang basta na lang magtanong ng ibigay niya ang kanyang dugo?
"Sayang! Level 5 lang ito…"
(TLNote: Only the Lance Form is Level 15. The other forms are still Level 5)
"Nagsisimula pa lang ang server, iyon lang iyon! Kung magsisimula ka ng mangolekta ng matiryales ngayon, hindi mo ba pwedeng gawin itong level 70?"
"Talaga? Ang pagkakarinig ko ang self-made equipment ay tumitingin lang sa matiryales at hindi sa level ng mga matiryales!"
"Punyeta, naintindihan mo ah? Kung naintindihan mo, sige gumawa ka ng isa."
"Narinig ko lang, iyon lang narinig ko…"
Sunod sunod na nagkumento ang mga manlalaro. Ngumiti lang si Ye Xiu kanyang narinig, pero hindi sumali sa usapan. Ang mga normal na manlalaro ay kung ano ano lang ang sinasabi na wala namang patutunguhan ng dahil sa kalat kalat nilang kaalaman. Pero sa mga legendary self-made Silver Weapon ay talagang nagpakita. Ito ay isang bagay na mapaguusapan ng lahat. Ngunit hindi nakalimutan ng lahat na idagdag: saying, level 5 lang.
Level 5 Equipment. Kahit gaano ka OP ito, wala pa rin itong saysay. Naintindihan ng lahat ang rason na ito. Kahit alam ng karamihan na ang self-made equipment ay maaaring maupgrade sa editor, ang upgrading ay kasing hirap din ng making. Sa isang pagkakamali lang maaaring masira ang weapon. Level 5, masyadong mababa ang starting point. Ang bilang ng upgrades na kinakailangan ay malaki. Lahat ang hindi maiwasang isipin na kaysa i-upgrade ito ay maigi pang gumawa ng diretsong high-level.
"Kuya, gagawa ka pa ba ng iba pang professional-level Silver Weapons?" may isa na marunong talagang magtanong ng mga importanteng tanong. Kumpara sa Silver weapon na ito, ang talentong marunong gumawa ng Silver Weapon ay mas may kwenta.
"Hindi na. Ito ay isang bagay na random kong pinagsama sama." Sabi ni Ye Xiu.
"Kuya, kung gagawa ka ng kahit na ano. Bibigyan kita ng materials, magsabi ka lang ng presyo." Mayroon ding isa na hindi sumusuko sa self-made equipment! Madalas, nararamdaman nilang isa itong bagay na hanggang pangarap na lang. Pero ngayon, mayroong isa na nagpakita.
"Hindi ko talaga kaya. Kung kaya ko, uupo pa baa ko dito?" sabi ni Ye Xiu.
Iyong tao na hindi gustong sumuko ay natahimik. Totoo naman. Ang taong marunong gumawa ng self-made equipment ay siguradong mas may kwenta kumpara sa normal na dalubhasa. Pwede nilang isarado ang pinto at maging mayaman. Maaari din silang makasali sa professional club's tech team.
"Kuya, gusto mo bang magdungeon? Sabay tayong pumunta!" sa mga oras na iyon, may mga nagimbita pa kay Ye Xiu para maglaro. Kitang kita naman na galing din sila sa tenth server.
"Nakamit ko na ang entry limit." Tawang sinabi ni Ye Xiu.
"Maglaro tayo kapag may pagkakataon!"
"Sige."
Matapos nilang magbigay respeto at magsabi ng ilang magagandang salita para subukang makipagkaibigan sa kanya, ang mga tao ay unti unting Nawala. Napabuntong hininga naman si Ye Xiu. Sa totoo lang, ang mga self-made weapons ay talaga namang napakahalaga. Dapat nakatago ito sa kaalaman sa labas. Sa Glory, ang mga manlalaro ay hindi makakagamit ng system para makita ang equipment ng iba, ito ay maganda para maitago ito sa kanila.
Pero ang problema ay masyadong hindi normal ang Myriad Manifestation Umbrella. Ano bang laro ang mayroong ganitong transforming weapon? Ang mga manlalarong may kaunting common sense ay madaling maiisip na ito ay self-made. At sa aktuwal ng laban, ang talagang halaga at features ng weapon ay kailangang ipakita, kaya naman hindi maaaring maitago ang ganitong weapon.
Napabuntong hininga si Ye Xiu. Matapos niyang isarado ang equipment interface, nakita niya si Chen Gou na nagmamadaling pumunta sa kanya galing sa second floor. Matapos niyang tumakbo sa likuran ni Ye Xiu, nagtanong siya: "Anong weapon? Anong weapon?"
"Self-made weapon, tignan mo para sa sarili mo…" walang magawa si Ye Xiu kundi buksan ulit ito.
"Wow…" kinamanghaan ni Chen Gou ito. Katulad lang siya ng ibang mga manlalaro, kasama ang 100 thousand na tanong para maitanong, pero alam din niyang hindi tama ang itanong ang mga ganitong bagay
"Naglalaro ka ng unspecialized character dahil sa weapon na ito?" tanong ni Chen Gou.
"Matalino." Pagpuri ni Ye Xiu
"Masyado kang masikreto." Napagalaman ni Chen Gou na kinakailangan niyang i-re-evaluate itong si Ye Xiu. Ang kanitong klase ng tao na napatalsik sa professional circle ay mas malalim pa kaysa sa kanyang orihinal na inaakala! Kahit hindi niya alam kung gaano ka skilled ang mga pro…
"At kalian naman ako nagtago ng sikreto sayo?" tanong na sagot ni Ye Xiu.
Chapter 51: The Weapon That Couldn't Be Hidden
When Ye Xiu heard Tang Rou yell "Again", he didn't waver in the slightest. He only steadily gripped his mouse and was ready to kill and behead the girl again. However, after he heard the yell this time, he didn't enter the stage. Ye Xiu stood up and saw Tang Rou's shriveled-up empty purse.
"Finally no money?" Ye Xiu laughed.
This guy....was waiting until I emptied my purse before stopping!? Tang Rou slowly stood up: "Wait for me to get more."
"Sis Tang, forget about it..." The surrounding people that knew her all tried to persuade her.
"Little Tang..." Chen Guo also went over to block her. With this girl's competitiveness, Chen Guo didn't doubt that she would try until she went bankrupt. The most loathsome part was that Ye Xiu. After winning, he didn't even try to give her a way out of this embarrassing situation.
In the end, she heard Ye Xiu say: "Forget about it! This type of recklessness isn't fun….."
Still mocking her! Chen Guo was furious. She turned around and right when she was about to say something, she heard Ye Xiu follow: "You should learn it properly first. You should at least figure out how large the gap between me and you is. You can't win in Glory with just hand speed. If you want to fight with me, there will be plenty of chances later."
Chen Guo was startled. This was actually sensible and reasonable. This guy finally said some real people talk. But at this moment, how could the ignited Tang Rou pay attention to this?
Tang Rou's footsteps had already stopped and she stood there lost in thought. The surrounding crowd went silent. All of them seemed like they were waiting for some great conclusion. Chen Guo suddenly saw something move from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to look. It was Ye Xiu giving her a meaningful look and gesturing at her. This shameful guy actually wanted her to hand him the money!
Chen Guo was angry! But she knew that with Tang Rou's temperament she definitely wouldn't let him return the money. Now at this moment, she ignored Ye Xiu and waved her hands at the spectating crowd: "What are you looking at? It's already over. Go, go."
The spectating crowd saw that Tang Rou didn't move, so they didn't either. Instead, they surrounded Ye Xiu and asked: "Brother, what weapon is that?"
Only players that didn't play Glory wouldn't care. When this question was asked, even Chen Guo pricked her ears up. On one hand, she wanted to hear the answer, but on the other hand, she wanted to comfort Tang Rou. She was just too d*mned busy.
"Ha ha, it's nothing. It's just a thing I made myself." Ye Xiu said.
"Self-made weapon??" Someone reacted quickly. He immediately understood what the four words "I made it myself" meant and blurted it out in surprise.
The crowd immediately went into an uproar. Self-made equipment, that was high-end content that normal players couldn't even dream of touching. Glory had operated for ten years. The methods to self-making equipment that were published online were at best Orange-level equipment. The truly legendary Silver equipment that surpassed Orange equipment could only be seen in the professional leagues. Why would these professional clubs give away methods to making these sort of Silver equipment to the public?
"Brother, can we take a look at it?" Someone asked Ye Xiu.
"Sure!" Ye Xiu laughed and let everyone look at the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.
While Chen Guo put her hands on Tang Rou's shoulder, she said "Go go go, let's go up and rest a bit." At the same time, she couldn't help but stretch out her neck to see what exactly Ye Xiu's Lord Grim held in his hands. Seeing this appearance, Tang Rou also couldn't help but laugh: "If you want to go look, then go look!"
Chen Guo heard this and turned her head to look. Tang Rou wasn't depressed like she expected, so she immediately felt relieved. But she still brought Tang Rou upstairs and said with authority: "Humph. I'll go look later. If he dares to not let me look, then I'll fire him."
The surrounding crowd that looked at the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella's attributes were all in awe. In addition, most of these players were playing in the new server, so they were very familiar with low-leveled weapons. With just a look, they could tell that this was a genuine Silver weapon! The legendary Orange-weapon-surpassing Silver Weapon.
"Amazing! How did you make it?" Someone blurted it out.
Ye Xiu smiled but didn't speak, so no one continued to question him. Even the previous person who blurted it out felt a little bad. Which self-made equipment wasn't made with blood, sweat, and tears? Who would ask for him to just casually give out his blood?
"What a pity! It's only Level 5..." (TLNote: Only the Lance Form is Level 15. The other forms are still Level 5)
"The server just started, that's all! If you start collecting materials now, can't you get it to Level 70?"
"Really? I heard that self-made equipment only looked at materials and not the materials' levels!"
"F*ck, you understand huh? If you understand, go make one."
"I heard, that's just what I heard..."
The players commented one after another. Ye Xiu only smiled at what he heard, but didn't join the discussion. Normal players only had a smattering of knowledge on this sort of high-end content and couldn't really get anywhere with it. But a legendary self-made Silver weapon really did appear. This was already something everyone could talk about. However, all of the players didn't forget to add: it's a pity it's only Level 5.
Level 5 Equipment. No matter how OP it was, it still wouldn't have any value. Everyone understood the reasoning. Although most players knew that self-made equipment could be upgraded in the editor, upgrading was just as difficult as making. A small mistake could ruin the weapon. Level 5.... the starting point was so low. The amount of upgrades it needed was too big. Everyone all subconsciously thought that instead of upgrading it, it'd be better to just directly make a high-leveled one.
"Brother, are you going to make any other professional-level Silver weapons?" Someone knew how to ask the important questions. Compared to this Silver weapon, the talent that could make such a Silver weapon was of much more value.
"No more. This was something I just randomly threw together." Ye Xiu said.
"Brother, if you're ever going to make anything. I'll give you the materials, just name a price." There was still someone who wouldn't give up on self-made equipment! Ordinarily, they all felt that it was something too out of reach. But today, someone who had one appeared.
"I really can't. If I could, would I be sitting here?" Ye Xiu said.
The person, who had been unwilling to give it up, went silent. That was true. Someone who could make self-made equipment was definitely a more valuable talent than normal experts. They could close their door and get rich. They could also join a professional club's tech team.
"Brother, do you want to dungeon? Let's go together!" At this moment, there were even people who invited Ye Xiu to play. They were clearly also from the tenth server.
"I've already reached the entry limit." Ye Xiu laughed.
"Let's play together when there's a chance!"
"Okay."
After paying their respects and saying kind words to try and make friends with him, the crowd gradually dispersed. Ye Xiu let out a sigh. Truthfully, self-made weapons were too precious. They were supposed to be hidden from the outside. In Glory, players couldn't use the system to check on other people's equipment, so it was relatively good for hiding them.
But the problem was that the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella was too unusual. What game had this sort of transforming weapon? Players with a bit of common sense could figure out that it was self-made. And in an actual battle, the weapon's greatest value and features had to be displayed, so it wasn't possible to hide such a weapon.
Ye Xiu sighed. Right when he closed the equipment interface, he saw Chen Guo rush at him like lightning from the second floor. After running behind Ye Xiu, she asked: "What weapon? What weapon?"
"Self-made weapon, see for yourself..." Ye Xiu helplessly opened it again.
"Wow..." Chen Guo admired it. She was like every other player, with a hundred thousand questions to ask, but she also knew that it wasn't appropriate to ask these sorts of things.
"You're playing as an unspecialized character because of this weapon?" Chen Guo asked.
"Smart." Ye Xiu commended.
"You're too secretive." Chen Guo discovered that she needed to re-evaluate Ye Xiu. This sort of person that had been kicked out of the professional circle was more profound than she had originally thought! Although she herself didn't know exactly how skilled the pros were...
"When have I ever hid secrets from you?" Ye Xiu asked in reply.
