Chapter 324: Chapter 314 Shatter! (2nd Update) Chapter 324: Chapter 314 Shatter! (2nd Update) The God of Casting could be said to be the deity most eager to aid the spirits on the entire Black Tide Island.
His desire to help did not stem from his kind heart or anything of the sort… it was because the creations of the Devouring God were the best casting materials he could ever dream of!
There was nothing sharper than a weapon forged from the creations of the Devouring God anywhere in the entire star map!
The spirits who had joined the alliance of gods were, of course, very enthusiastic. Upon hearing why the God of Casting would help them enhance their equipment, many of them handed over a small part of their gear to the God of Casting.
However…
“Blockhead, can you really boost it to thirteen?”
Mack the streamer was lured up this morning by his followers claiming that in the main city of the alliance of gods, there was an NPC that could significantly increase the chances of enhancing a +12 weapon to +13.
Initially, Mack was utterly unbelieving. How could such a buggy NPC exist in the world?
But, led by a crowd of his followers, Mack found his way to the God of Casting’s blacksmith shop, which at least lived up to the title of an NPC who could enhance items to +13.
“Young lady! I, among all the gods, am the best at forging. Those so-called Gods of Hearthfire, Gods of Craftsmen, and the like don’t know nearly as much about making a weapon sharper!”
The God of Casting perfectly matched the player’s mental image of a dwarf, and not just any dwarf, but a Black Iron Dwarf.
The first thing Mack thought when he saw this bald dwarf was… his hair had migrated to his beard.
“Really?” Mack was still a bit skeptical as she talked to the God of Casting, with ‘Enhance Equipment’ now an option displayed in the dialogue box.
“If you doubt my ability, move aside! I’m very busy!”
The God of Casting was quick-tempered, which aligned well with the players’ image; he waved his hand, trying to shoo Mack away.
“Are you guys trying to scam me?”
Mack glanced at the barrage of comments streaming by, all declaring, ‘Streamer, if your +13 breaks, I’ll do a handstand and eat mustard! A whole vat!’ ‘We’re all professionals here, when have we ever fooled you?’
“Hmm…”
Mack grabbed the war spear floating behind her, which was the Lion Heart Knight’s thunder spear. However, during the forging and modification process, Mack had renamed it the ‘Blockhead Maker.’
The weapon itself wasn’t precious, but Mack had spent a lot of money on this thunder spear — enchanting it, inlaying it with gems and inscriptions, and nearly spending thirty thousand to get it to +12.
But +13 was impossible to achieve with the Enforcement Master Yirui.
Enhancing spirit gear was a complicated process, so intricate that each piece of modified equipment could be considered unique!
“I’ve still got an equipment enhancement protection ticket in my bag anyway,” Mack said as she glanced at an item marked as ‘extremely precious’ in her inventory.
One of these items was indeed an equipment enhancement protection ticket, which could be exchanged in NPC favor shops and was only five hundred favor points cheaper than Fureya’s guiding stone.
Mack had spent a week playing cards with the Dragon Speaker sister in the camp and a week planting potatoes for the Dragon Speaker sister just to get one equipment protection ticket.
“You… give it a try! Don’t break it, please!” Relying on her equipment protection ticket, Mack ultimately handed her main weapon, the long spear, to the God of Casting.
“A long spear infused with the Divine Power of the Devouring God, the ancient Lion Heart Knights? I’ve heard of them… This should be an antique, yet it looks so new. Has it been reforged with Divine Power?”
As the God of Casting took Mack’s long spear, he studied the origins of the spear like an antique connoisseur.
“Can you speed it up a bit? I’ve got an instance to run later,” Mack asked.
As far as she was concerned, enhancing equipment was a matter of seconds — either success or failure.
“The power of the Devouring God isn’t something just anyone can handle. Since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll simply reinforce it a bit to prove my ability!”
The God of Casting placed the long spear on his forging table, then picked up a hammer that appeared to be a divine artifact and gently pressed it against the shaft of the long spear.
His divine power began to seep into the spear, but the structure of the weapon was much more complex than the God of Casting had imagined!
With Mack’s multiple modifications, the weapon in the God of Casting’s hands resembled a delicate piece of machinery — damage just one small screw, and the whole device might break down.
The God of Casting was confident he could enhance the spear without damaging it, but the problem was… the internal components were ‘alive!’ They were like little tiger sharks with sharp teeth, gnawing at every bit of force trying to alter their existence.
This was exactly why the God of Casting was fascinated by the Divine Power of the Devouring God!
“Here it is!” The God of Casting suddenly swung his hammer down, and… under Mack’s gaze, this God of Casting broke her +12 long spear into two halves with the hammer in his hand!
Mack was stunned… She hastily opened her bag, still about to say she had an equipment protection ticket, so surely the enhancement process shouldn’t damage the equipment.
But…
[Your main weapon, “Blockhead Maker,” has an abnormal status and can no longer be equipped.]
What does ‘abnormal status’ mean?
“Holy Spirit… I didn’t expect…” God of Casting was also a bit bewildered at this moment. What was supposed to be a sure success had exploded into this mess. Theoretically, shouldn’t the enhancement of this thunder gun have succeeded?
Mackaffe didn’t listen to her explanation… She grabbed the shattered thunder gun from God of Casting and repeatedly tried to re-equip it.
But the system kept indicating equipment abnormal status, unable to equip!
“Mackaffe big shot… could it be broken?”
A player, who was fanatical about Coke, whispered nearby.
This remark hit Mackaffe’s sore spot and with a ‘wah’ she started crying loudly while holding her broken thunder gun.
“My +12 thunder gun!”
She really did start crying… Her plump figure fell to the ground and began rolling, her cry growing louder and louder until the attention of all players on the street turned to her.
“What the hell? Who made our Mackaffe sister cry?”
“Is it this NPC?”
“Boss, someone made our Mackaffe sister cry!”
Her crying finally attracted those Coke fanatical players who were still on quests in the Union of Gods, and they all gathered at the doorstep of God of Casting’s shop.
“It shouldn’t be like this…”
As if not noticing the Coke fanatics gathering around, God of Casting muttered to himself, trying to figure out which step he had screwed up.
It wasn’t until a gentle voice brought him back from his deep thoughts.
“You have caused us too much trouble, Norris… I might have to petition the God of Craftsmen to take over your position.”
“That little dwarf! Ura! Don’t you dare!”
God of Casting looked up and saw the Goddess crossing through the Coke fanatics to reach his shop front, and it was not her true self but her clone.
The Goddess had expended vast energy boosting the favorites of the Spirits towards the Union of Gods, but all those positive feelings turned into murderous intent in front of this God of Casting.
“Looks like this NPC can be killed?”
“Hidden quest? Haven’t seen his HP bar… Just when does Enforcement Master Yirui show his HP bar?”
“Don’t cry, Mackaffe boss, it’s just a thunder gun, right? We can build another one.”
After finding out it was because of the equipment failure that Mackaffe cried, and not because another player had bullied her, the Coke fanatical players began comforting her genuinely.
The Spirits did not blame God of Casting for the mistake; the hate due to equipment enhancement failure should be carried by the lousy planners. In the players’ eyes, these NPCs were merely enhancement machines with different models.
But the Goddess didn’t see it that way; God of Casting’s actions had already touched upon the trust and feelings built between the Union of Gods and the Spirits.
Although that trust and feeling weren’t particularly deep.
The other gods and chosen ones within the Union of Gods also arrived at the front of God of Casting’s shop.
“Norris… my friend, you’ve lingered here too long. Return to your original time and rest for a bit.”
“It’s you again? The more meticulous God of Craftsmen indeed suits the position better.”
After hearing about the mistake made by God of Casting, the other gods also began persuading God of Casting to return to his own world.
“You greedy creatures have no chance! I’ve stood guard here for thirty years! All for the sake of forging a weapon using Divine Power of Devouring God! No one can drive me away from this city!”
The moment God of Casting burst out with this declaration, the surrounding onlookers grew increasingly in number, this was an unexpected hidden plot falling from the sky.
But…
“Boss, can you forge building materials here?”
Just as God of Casting was about to go all out with these greedy creatures with a hammer in hand, Jiang Qiao also reached the City of Gods and found the best blacksmith on Black Tide Island.
“No time now, don’t you see what’s going on?”
“Boss, I’m asking you again, do you forge building materials here?” Jiang Qiao repeated, the God of Casting, originally ready with his hammer, realized something.
The gods pressing in on him fell silent because a player was communicating with God of Casting.
“What do you want to build?” God of Casting glanced at the gods standing still around him, believing that as soon as his conversation with Jiang Qiao ended, those gods would act and send him back to his own world.
