Chapter 567: Chapter 243: Deceiving Krypton

Originally, [Players] would only see [Decompose], [Synthesis], and [Reforging] options in the Forge after unlocking it at LV5.

Now, with Li Changhe’s selection of the weapon module, an additional option, [Artisan Spirit Module Arrows], appeared in the forge.

By investing materials and spending some game currency, arrows with corresponding qualities could be produced.

"So that’s how it is, consumables, huh? As an archer, you can never have too many arrows, and Bai could use them too." He Feng said after hearing this, "Considering your current tactics, it’s hard to increase your long-range attack capabilities further, so you should focus on improving your arrows."

Ever since the end of the Mysterious Island mission, Li Changhe had been able to upgrade his Title Skill, Hundred-Headed Shooter.

However, all three upgrade options were quite appealing, and Li Changhe pondered for a while but couldn’t decide.

One was to enhance the duration of the Hundred-Headed Shooter, tripling its duration. This option had high fault tolerance, and with a half an hour duration, Li Changhe’s output time would be much longer.

The second was to enhance 50% attack power, directly boosting Li Changhe’s output capabilities.

The last was for the damage to increase with distance, with the damage even rivaling the Holder’s at maximum range.

Li Changhe was more inclined towards the last two, especially the third one. With the increased damage at longer distances, Li Changhe’s deterrent power would greatly increase.

Unfortunately, even after experiencing the Seven Kings War, he was still unable to obtain the ability to enhance attack range.

As for Abyssal Whisper Mechanical Bow, it’s already an Epic-level piece of equipment. Upgrading it to Legendary is currently impossible.

Going to the [forum] to ask about it would probably result in ridicule and comments like ’dream on.’

So, the only option left was to try improving the arrows themselves.

Previously, Li Changhe had been using ordinary arrows, which were enough to turn into explosive divine arrow shooters.

If he were to use higher quality arrows, his strength would surely be enhanced, right?

Although he now had a module, Li Changhe couldn’t mass-produce the arrows. Both funding and materials are insufficient to support it," he thought, "At most, they can be used as trump cards."

If each arrow was a quality piece of equipment, even large organizations couldn’t handle the cost. Were those arrows? No, they were money and life!

If one arrow could take down one enemy, it might be fine. But enemies aren’t stupid, like that Berserker Rank player in the Seven Kings War.

Under Li Changhe’s attack, the player found the flaw in the Hundred-Headed Shooter.

At that time, Li Changhe shot at least seventy arrows, and with the Abyssal Whisper’s ’Moon Triple’ effect, a total of two hundred and ten arrows were shot, but none landed on him.

"You must only use the consumables when you are sure of hitting the target. Even the most powerful output capabilities need to hit the target to make a difference," He Feng said, "As for the quantity, you actually don’t need too many. Just forging a few to use as trump cards is enough."

"Indeed, since you can already produce arrows with 100% success rate, you might as well experiment with different materials to create various suitable arrows. You’ll eventually find the right ones," Mr. Bai also suggested, "I once saw an archer in a mission whose ability must be from some sequential gene or something. He was pretty impressive with his enchanted arrows. I don’t know if you can achieve that effect with your synthesized arrows."

Li Changhe nodded and logged in to the [Exchange], where there were still three pieces of equipment listed.

The Wanderer’s Head-splitting Golf and the Wild Cat’s two short axes had been on sale for quite some time, and there were already people leaving comments asking for discounts.

Li Changhe felt déjà vu, like he was encountering bargain hunters while working.

"Don’t try to rip me off, I know the value."

"Discount it! How could this effect not be discounted?"

"Did this axe go to college?"

"300! If you don’t sell, I’m leaving."

"Come on, boss. I’m just short of two hand axes to join the Axe Gang!"

Mommy, there’s even an Axe Gang.

Before, Li Changhe set the price at 500 game coins, which was indeed a bit high.

Li Changhe negotiated the price with a few [Players] who left comments. As a Working Emperor, he was experienced in this sort of bargaining.

After some time, he finally sold all three pieces of Rare-quality equipment.

After deducting the handling fee from the Trading Center,

his total earnings were 958 game coins.

Now, Li Changhe’s total assets amounted to 3089 game coins.

Breaking the 3000 mark again, he was considered a small local tycoon among players below LV10.

However, with the Great Tang mission looming, Li Changhe had to prepare more items.

He first went to the [Mall] and spent 300 game coins on four [Medium Energy Potions] and two [Medium Endurance Potions].

In terms of stamina, Li Changhe’s 13-point [Jade Gold Likeness] Physique already had a fast normal recovery.

With the recovery ability of Total Concentration Breathing, there’s no need to worry about physical strength. It’s only necessary to pay attention to energy consumption.

Then he spent another 1000 game coins to buy two bottles of [Super High-efficiency Healing Liquid].

High-Efficiency Healing Liquid had little effect on Li Changhe with his 13 Point Physique.

This 1000 coins couldn’t be saved, as players were harder to kill because of these advanced medical supplies far beyond modern technology.

As a player’s abilities improve, so do the game coins they need to spend.

There were 1789 game coins remaining.

Li Changhe entered the [Exchange] and scanned for a long time but couldn’t find any suitable materials.

"There’s no choice; I’ll have to try tree branches first," Li Changhe thought.

In his backpack, he had a tree branch with multiple eyeballs on it, a Rare-quality material that Yun Ting obtained from a Piercing Fruit Tree, an Abnormality found on the fourth layer of the Dream Cruise.

[Piercing Trunk] might have abilities similar to that of the Piercing Fruit Tree when used as a synthesis material for arrows.

However, it wasn’t quite in line with the plan.

Li Changhe wanted to synthesize arrows that enhanced shooting distance. For example, when the Old Lead was still in his Wind Demon stage, he synthesized some Harpy materials, gaining Wind King’s protection and being unaffected by air resistance.

If Li Changhe had such materials, he might be able to create arrows with similar effects. If the experiment was successful and the range was increased enough,

he could consider upgrading to [Hundred-Headed Shooter·Far].

However, since he couldn’t find the materials, he didn’t insist on it.

After all, the output of the Hundred-Headed Shooter·Far was high, but the limitations were also significant. If the enemies are close, the effect would be less noticeable.

"If it doesn’t work, I’ll just upgrade Hundred-Headed Shooter·Attack. The 50% increase in output capability should be enough," Li Changhe thought, putting the Piercing Trunk into the [Forge] for Artisan Spirit Module synthesis.

[Input Material: [Rare] Piercing Trunk]

[Output Item: [Rare] 8-13 Arrow Shards]

[Synthesis Time: Nineteen hours]

[Cost: 500 game coins]

[Accept/Reject]

[Remark: Top up, quickly top up!]

"I have a feeling I’m being fooled into topping up," Li Changhe clicked his tongue, "But it’s still acceptable."

game coins may seem expensive at first glance, but the unit price of ammunition consumables in the Mall was at least 100.

Eight to thirteen Rare-quality arrows for 500 game coins were still a good deal.

If he’s lucky and gets more arrows, it would be even better.

Well, it feels like opening a lucky bag, so I guess they really want us to top up.
