Hearing this, Blacksmith Wang became somewhat anxious."Snow Emperor, everything can be discussed. We've had such pleasant cooperation before. There's no reason to have an unpleasant falling out over such a small matter."Lin Tianhao stopped in his tracks."Blacksmith Wang, to tell you the truth, the conditions offered by the old village chief are quite generous."Hearing this, Blacksmith Wang knew that Lin Tianhao was likely going to ask for a huge price."Snow Emperor, my Platinum-grade necklace isn't bad either.""It's not bad, indeed."Lin Tianhao hesitated. "But, after all, it's just transitional equipment. The old village chief even brought out a Saint-grade Awakening Stone.""How about you also give me a Saint-grade Awakening Stone?"Blacksmith Wang's face changed. Where would he have a Saint-grade Awakening Stone?"Snow Emperor, I really don't have a Saint-grade Awakening Stone.""However, I can help you upgrade the Nine-Union Longbow to Platinum-grade and add a Platinum-grade necklace."Lin Tianhao raised his eyebrows.A Platinum-grade main weapon plus a Platinum-grade necklace.His combat power would definitely receive a huge boost.But there would still be a problem.If he changed the necklace, then the Treant Set would only have nine pieces left.The set effect would no longer exist."It's indeed a bit of a waste to use Platinum-grade equipment as transitional equipment.""How about this, give me a set of Gold-grade equipment for archers.""A set?"Blacksmith Wang's face changed drastically!"Snow Emperor, sets aren't cheap. The best in the entire novice village is a Bronze-grade set, which is the limit of what I can do."Lin Tianhao was slightly disappointed, but it was also within his expectations."Bronze-grade? Not even Silver. Show me the set's stats."Blacksmith Wang took a deep breath. When had any player ever bargained with him like this?But he had no choice.Because the Iceflame Demon Ore was something he absolutely needed."Alright."Blacksmith Wang took Lin Tianhao into the back room. Here, Lin Tianhao saw three sets of Bronze-grade equipment."This set is the Bronze-grade set suitable for archers, the Breeze Set."Lin Tianhao's gaze fell on the Breeze Set, and the set's stats appeared before his eyes.Breeze Set.Effect 1: Attack Speed +32.Effect 2: Movement Speed +59.Effect 3: Crit +35.Effect 4: Attack +1800.Set Effect 1: Your basic attacks can stack attack speed, each basic attack stacks 0.5 attack speed, up to 6 stacks.Set Effect 2: Your basic attacks can stack movement speed, each basic attack can stack 0.5 movement speed, up to six stacks.Lin Tianhao frowned.This equipment was not what he wanted.Although attack speed and movement speed seemed important.He had seen another set of equipment, a set with high thorn damage.What he needed was lifesteal!Otherwise, if Blacksmith Wang used that thorn damage equipment, he would be very passive."Snow Emperor, what do you think?" Blacksmith Wang asked."Lame."Lin Tianhao spat out two words."How could it be?"Blacksmith Wang feigned surprise. "Archers need attack speed, movement speed, crit, and attack power the most. This set has it all."Lin Tianhao smiled noncommittally. It did have it all.But it didn't have lifesteal.That was the most troublesome thing.At this stage, with something like thorn damage, Lin Tianhao would die faster the faster his attack speed was if he didn't have lifesteal.Blacksmith Wang's thorn damage set completely countered this Breeze Set.This was premeditated!"I don't lack attack speed and crit now. I lack lifesteal."Lifesteal was a special attribute that couldn't be increased with free attribute points.It could only be obtained through equipment or skills.Blacksmith Wang narrowed his eyes. An archer wanting lifesteal seemed to be for increasing survivability.But to be honest.Lifesteal was definitely not as good as attack speed and movement speed for survivability.As long as those two stats were high enough, he wouldn't be afraid at all.However.There was one premise.That was that the opponent didn't have thorn damage.Lin Tianhao asking for lifesteal equipment made the answer obvious.Looking at the entire novice village.Besides the Twisted Treant having a bit of low thorn damage, only Blacksmith Wang had it."Snow Emperor, the lifesteal attribute is a special attribute. I do have it here, but there's no set, and only three pieces of Bronze-grade equipment have the lifesteal attribute."Lin Tianhao's expression changed slightly.Blacksmith Wang seemed to have guessed some of his intentions."Sigh."Lin Tianhao sighed. "In that case, I'll go find the old village chief."Blacksmith Wang's eyes narrowed, and an invisible aura was released.Lin Tianhao only felt the surrounding temperature constantly rising."Ding, you are affected by high temperature."-18.-18.…The damage wasn't high, but Blacksmith Wang's attitude made Lin Tianhao very unhappy."Blacksmith Wang, are you going to attack?"With that, Lin Tianhao spread his hands."Alright, I definitely can't beat you anyway. Just kill me."Blacksmith Wang's expression was gloomy.He naturally knew that Lin Tianhao would only lose a level if he was killed.Moreover, this was the novice village.If he killed Lin Tianhao here, it would definitely give the old village chief an excuse to make trouble for him."Snow Emperor, I do have a special piece of equipment that can provide lifesteal.""I believe you definitely won't refuse.""Oh?"Lin Tianhao was somewhat surprised.What kind of equipment was it that could make Blacksmith Wang so confident?Blacksmith Wang took out a necklace from his chest.Bloodthirsty Necklace: Special.Requirement: None.Effect: Restores 1% of the wearer's health with each basic attack.Durability: 100Lin Tianhao narrowed his eyes.He had to admit.Blacksmith Wang was right.This was a piece of equipment he couldn't refuse.One percent health recovery.This seemed insignificant.But Lin Tianhao's own health was high enough to make it significant."Alright, this Iceflame Demon Ore is yours," Lin Tianhao said."No."Blacksmith Wang shook his head. "If you want this equipment, besides the Iceflame Demon Ore, I also need a thousand other pieces of equipment."Lin Tianhao's expression changed slightly. This was a bit of a rip-off."Blacksmith Wang."Lin Tianhao's voice became a bit lower. "Isn't your request a bit too much?""Not at all. I believe you will agree."Lin Tianhao smiled noncommittally.Blacksmith Wang had bet correctly."Alright, as you wish, but I don't have them now. I need some time.""No problem, I'll wait."The reason Lin Tianhao agreed was because this was something he could do easily.He had accumulated a lot of equipment from grinding dungeons.His next plan was to increase his health as much as possible by grinding dungeons.Ideally, he wanted to upgrade the Hand of Divine Punishment to three stars, so his damage could be greatly increased.Leaving the novice village.Lin Tianhao began grinding the Twisted Jungle overtime.Emerald City.Dream Chaser Yanxue saw the message sent by her subordinate, and her expression became somewhat strange."He's still level ten after so long. It seems there's no hope."Dream Chaser Yanxue replied to a message, "No need to pay attention to Snow Emperor anymore. Even if he goes online now, he can't catch up to me.""Do we still need to recruit him?"Dream Chaser Yanxue hesitated for a moment. "Recruitment is possible, but lower the annual salary to 1 million. If he agrees, then fine. If he doesn't, then forget it.""In the game, if you're one step behind, you're always behind. No need to care about him."
