Chapter 200: Chapter 184 Too Thoughtful, No One Bought It

To prepare sufficient items for the prize pool by hand-crafting, Lind had made multiple preparations.

The first preparation definitely involved items that could be drawn from the prize pool, with a variety of types and a large quantity.

These included traps made by Bard the Dragon Skin Armorer, spices from Miss Brittany, various recovery potions made by Miss Miko, mystic rune weapons crafted by Milan the Rune Messenger, and Dome’s magic fireworks.

Besides these, there were various ornaments.

If it were only these items, Lind could predict that a large group on the forum would be cursing and threatening to kill him for the equipment.

The title "Brother De" had gone, and now only "Lin Dog" remained.

This led to the second preparation, which involved introducing a batch of ornaments and weapons that could not be obtained through any means other than drawing, and they all had to be extremely rare.

Especially the weapons, as Lind had the "Gemini Crest", and the mystic rune weapons he crafted could not be replicated, making them extremely rare!

A weapon or equipment, bound with two skills.

This would also become the biggest reward in the prize pool.

"Why?" Milan asked, pinching the bow in her hand, not understanding at all.

The craftsmanship of this bow was excellent, seemingly made using the skeleton of some mutated beast, and when crafting it, Lind had specifically asked Bard and other blacksmiths to retain some rough and primitive style, making the bow look more bloodthirsty.

In terms of weapon style, Milan had nothing to say, but she really didn’t understand why the "Molina’s Magic Wand" Barrier Rune was to be infused into this bow.

When you draw the bow in battle, then you open a barrier?

Why not directly infuse it into the magic wand, or simply into a shield.

"Isn’t this also here?" Lind pointed to a pile of weapons and equipment in front of Milan, which included not only hats but also shields, boots, cloaks, and greatswords.

They were all to be used for infusing the Barrier Rune.

The premise of using the Barrier Rune was to hold the weapon in hand and then channel power into it, so shields were definitely the most suitable.

"But why?" Milan still didn’t understand.

"Don’t understand?" Lind picked up a shield to inspect, it was an Earth Dragon skin shield, the tanned dragon skin wrapped around a medium-sized shield, Bard must have put a lot of thought into making this shield, the lion at the center of the shield was indeed the crest of the Armand Family.

The lion roared furiously.

This shield had the strong fire resistance of the Earth Dragon, the gold and grandeur unique to the Rand nobles, and it also had the Barrier Rune, not to mention its strong appeal to the Undead, even Lind himself didn’t have such a practical shield.

Of course, his fighting style didn’t suit using shields.

Just self-ignite and rush forward was enough; rather than fussing over the shield’s defensive power, it was better to light the fire, allowing his body to heal quickly.

Milan nodded, she truly didn’t understand what Lind was thinking, Lind seemed to both want to give the weapons to the Undead and not want to at the same time.

Trying to understand, but unable to do so.

"Can’t let them immediately get what they want, need to make them grind," Lind said, "If it’s too accommodating, no one would buy."

"Huh?" Milan was puzzled, she completely didn’t understand.

Only when the Undead couldn’t get what they wanted would they keep drawing, Lind didn’t have control over the official website and couldn’t truly initiate a pay-to-win system, so it was necessary to keep hooking the Undead, making them continuously want to spend.

Crafting mystic rune weapons was definitely hard work, but when he thought of an Undead obtaining the boots with the Barrier Rune, having to hold the boots in his hands every time he fought and his annoyed expression, he felt it was all worth it.

While all the upper ranks were being mobilized to produce items needed for the draw prize pool, Lind was also crafting. With the Gemini Crest allowing him to multitask, not only was he producing at a faster pace, but the overlap of the two mystic runes also resulted in some weapon effects exceeding even his own expectations.

The simplest method, directly injecting the Carrion Queen Mystic Rune repeatedly into the same weapon, would allow a swing of the hand to release two miniature Carrion Queens.

Or even a double Barrier.

He even experimented with creating a mystic rune using a Gold Badge, though it only emitted a green glow, the mystic rune of the Gold Badge was the most complex among all the weapons.

Moreover, the result wasn’t very good, counting as a failed product.

But after several attempts, Lind found that as he multitasked the injection of the Gold Badge Mystic Rune, its speed suddenly increased, as if the "Gemini Crest" had suddenly brought him an epiphany with this mystic rune, giving him a high understanding of it.

His understanding was in reduction!

Constantly cutting down, further reducing, removing all parts that could input various data for integrated calculations, even removing the input function.

Lind casually picked up a dagger, infusing it with his extremely simplified version of the Gold Badge Mystic Rune, completing the infusion in the blink of an eye.

Although it didn’t seem very useful, the production speed was definitely one of the few advantages.

He pinched the dagger in his right hand, pressed the tip of the dagger gently with his left index finger, and the dagger began to bend until it "crack—snap" broke.

Indeed, weapons infused with Mystic Rune and genuine Blessed Weapons are two different things. Their durability also varies greatly.

Lind picked up another throwing knife and tried to infuse it with the Gold Badge Mystic Rune once more.

Unable to input, but there were preset texts inside, divided into two main parts.

The first part of the text, including: forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and other directional words.

The second part included various actions and nouns, such as: jumping, cave, dog, carrion-eater, Two-Headed People, fierce battles, breathtaking views, and more.

Creating this small knife with the Gold Badge Mystic Rune was entirely an impromptu idea by Lind.

It was quick to produce, low in cost, disposable, and the Undead wouldn’t get upset after receiving it.

And it was quite like electronic barrage, leaving messages for those who came after was an interesting affair. Of course, it was also possible to leave misleading information.

The item was named: Admonition Dagger.

...

Recently, a large number of Undead had been gathering in the square.

A small fraction of the Undead shunned the Banshee’s Illusion out of respect, while another small fraction had to take on various tasks due to a lack of Points. Most of the rest were immersed in the Banshee’s Illusion, standing in layers around the pond as if being punished.

Lind wasn’t doing well in terms of user experience. For this reason, he was preparing to let Dome research a mobile mechanical battery to extract Magic Circle. This would allow the Undead to sell stamina while playing in the Banshee’s Illusion, killing two birds with one stone. Even dying wouldn’t be a waste.

"Phew!"

The Moon Slash Blade opened its eyes.

"It didn’t explode?" An Undead passing by saw the Moon Slash Blade awaken and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Seeing many people lining up and gathering around, those at the front turned to ashes while the ones behind continued forward.

Many entered, but none were seen coming out.

Going against the crowd, the Moon Slash Blade instantly drew the attention of others.

Facing the curious crowd, Moon Slash Blade calmly and composedly said, "I cleared it!"

"Cleared it?!"

"Damn!"

"Really?"

"Bro, what’s at the top?"

"Did you get any rewards?"

Everyone had something to ask. Although the Banshee’s Illusion hadn’t been opened for long, every Undead in Star Dragon City who came online would definitely not miss trying it once.

Most people thought it was fun. The joy of frantically collecting gear and the pain of reluctantly discarding it could be addictive. Creating your own build and executing a series of flashy moves was exhilarating. Stacking stats and flinging a Magic Wand to hurl terrifying Fireballs, the all-encompassing Meteor Shower also sent adrenaline soaring.

Being able to experience the end-game content in the early stages was totally worth it!

But no one had managed to climb to the top and break through.

"A Corpse Dragon," the Moon Slash Blade said. "It gave me two choices: to duel and then kill it or to leave."

"Which one did you choose?"

"Do you need to ask? I obviously ran."

The crowd buzzed, then all eyes eagerly focused on the Moon Slash Blade, waiting for his response.

"I killed it!" Moon Slash Blade’s smile grew wider: "I got a kick-ass weapon, a bit supermod. It stacks by continuously attacking enemies. In the end, I reached over eighteen thousand stacks."

He gestured excitedly, and immediately a space cleared around him.

"Then, a few slashes took down that Corpse Dragon."

"A few slashes?"

"You took it down in seconds?"

"Supermod," the Moon Slash Blade nodded. "And there were no restrictions on the weapon. I found the weapons in Banshee’s Illusion to be very powerful, unrestrictive. They might disrupt the balance if placed in the game, but they felt awesome in the roast pigeon instance."

"Bro, what’s that weapon you mentioned?" Someone had already decided to go farm this weapon, not for anything else, but just to enjoy the thrill.

"It seems to be called ’Ring of Magic Forged Straight Sword.’"
