Chapter 767 - 360: Finding Someone! Reforging Equipment!

"It’s gone."

Tang Ruobing wiped her sweat and stood next to Ye Mingqiu as she looked at the distant White Jade Horn and said.

"Hmm, the treasury is ours now. This guy is pretty sensible, not bad, not bad." Ye Mingqiu’s face showed a smile. Actually, his hands were itching to grab things too, but with the Jade Rhinoceros God standing there, he felt embarrassed about taking too much.

Now it’s good, the Jade Rhinoceros God has left, so he can freely move the goods!

Then Ye Mingqiu’s gaze turned to the treasury, and suddenly he noticed that most of the belongings on Tang Ruobing’s side had already been moved out. He couldn’t help but say, "What the heck, your hand speed is a bit too fast, isn’t it?"

"Slow hands get nothing."

Tang Ruobing laughed and continued to casually collect things into her Storage Space.

"Hey, you rascal!"

Ye Mingqiu also began gathering materials, taking away large piles of resources, smiling as he collected them, as if he were playing a game, without any pressure.

Not long after, the two of them had completely emptied out the Jade Rhinoceros God’s treasury. Even the walls of the treasury, being rare materials themselves, had been dismantled and taken away.

"Cough-cough!"

Ye Mingqiu coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, that’s about enough. You stripped everything so thoroughly, what if someone finds out?"

"You have the nerve to say that to me? How did the treasury’s door disappear? Do you not have any clue?" Tang Ruobing countered without backing down, letting out a light snort.

"...."

Ye Mingqiu was briefly silent, then replied, "Oh, you don’t understand. The material of that door was special, clearly custom-made to withstand powerful attacks, its value was quite high. Dismantling and taking it was only normal."

"Ha!"

Tang Ruobing chuckled contemptuously and said, "Report to me later, divide the things from the treasury as agreed—60% for me and 40% for you."

"Alright."

....

After completely moving everything out, the two of them divided the items according to value and need, being extremely serious in the process. Ye Mingqiu saw something in Tang Ruobing’s eyes, something utterly pure yet incredibly familiar.

Poverty

Unlike before, Tang Ruobing had now successfully experienced the feeling of poverty.

At this moment, she wanted to increase her strength, but that required a huge consumption of resources. Ye Mingqiu was similar; for the strong to enhance their strength, the consumption was even greater than that of the weak. Poverty was a given.

"Sigh~"

Ye Mingqiu sighed deeply while counting resources, feeling sentimental.

No wonder the academy was willing to unconditionally offer Attribute Enhancement Items for free. What we once saw as a burden with those items, past Tier Two, had become the cheapest enhancement option.

The reason for this situation is simple: other aspects are too expensive, causing many to get stuck at Tier Two. Even if they have maxed out their level, they won’t choose to upgrade but will stay here longer, gaining more confidence before exploring the new world and upgrading.

This delay leads to longer times at each level in Tier Two, and with increased rates of obtaining Free Attribute Points, the necessity for Attribute Enhancement Items certainly decreases, with surplus items eventually entering the market.

Thus, although Tier Two Attribute Enhancement Items still hold value, when compared to other resource consumption, they are already considered the cheapest.

The truly expensive stuff is yet to come!

"What are you sighing about? Are you thinking about how to reforge your equipment?" Tang Ruobing asked.

"Yeah, regarding weapon forging, do you have any connections?"

"Well..."

Tang Ruobing thought for a bit, lowered her head in contemplation for a moment, then said, "I happen to know a master capable of reforging equipment, but his temperament is quite eccentric. You’ll need to visit him yourself next, and I don’t guarantee success."

"Hmm, no problem. I’ll give it a try."

Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

.....

Chenghai City, Second High School

Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing returned from the Spirit Realm, but the authority usage as the leader of the force was unrelated to the regular Spirit Realm shuttling, so it wouldn’t affect the usual exploration cooldown.

Thus, the benefits of occupying a world are quite high: you can freely enter and exit it, along with resource extraction from within, making these two aspects highly valuable. Coupled with the natural monthly yields, it becomes even sweeter.

Led by Tang Ruobing, Ye Mingqiu walked out of the school, reached a small alley, and found a somewhat secluded little house. The plaque on the house read [Black Gold Equipment Shop].

This plaque was relatively worn out, appearing to have seen some years, and the entire little house looked relatively old as well.

"This place...."

Ye Mingqiu observed the surroundings carefully and indeed found something unusual.

Firstly, despite its weathered appearance, the material comprising the little house was quite good. Pressing it lightly with his hand, he noticed the material didn’t slightly cave under the pressure of Ye Mingqiu’s considerable power.

This was his test.

Note that at this moment, Ye Mingqiu had already reached Tier Two, his base power was over 1700, plus various buffs.

If this little house can withstand it, it suggests its material is certainly not Tier One, maybe not even just Tier Two.

The people inside aren’t simple!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Tang Ruobing knocked on the door, the sound was loud, showing no sense of restraint or courtesy.

Soon, the door of the little house was opened.

A disheveled uncle stood behind the door, nearly 2 meters tall, with prominently muscled lines on his body and skin with a bronze hue akin to steel. Just standing there without actively releasing malice was enough to make Ye Mingqiu feel a hint of threat.
