The Antelope And Night Wolf Chapter 52

2nd of December, Friday, 02:50

LingYang suddenly discovered that FlowerHouse had not been moving in awhile.

There was no reaction.
LingYang stood up and went next door, he discovered XuXian had already fallen asleep on the table. He tiptoed over, covering him lightly with a blanket, then transferred all the shards in FlowerHouse's inventory to himself, and tiptoed out.
LingYang washed his face with cold water, when he returned he found that he had enough air crystal shards, so he went to collect earth crystal shards.

LingYang fell asleep instantly, in his inventory there were 99 air crystal shards, 99 flame crystal shards and 48 earth crystal shards.

On the top right corner of his screen, the message icon was blinking, there was a message from Little Buckle in his inbox, attached was 60 earth crystal shards.

When LingYang woke up, there was a blanket covering him, next to the computer was a breakfast wrapped with a cloth, reaching out to touch it, he felt as though he could still feel the warmth emitting from it.
He woke up, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, and pulled open the curtains. The winter's afternoon sun shone into the room, it was another beautiful day.
　　
LingYang went to the forest to kill a rabbit, a dropped.
The Lucky Rabbit's Foot was a grey item, but because of its name, many people thought of it as a lucky symbol, when crafting or farming they liked to carry it on them, it was a little superst.i.tious.
(T/N: Grey items refer to items in-game that are of no use, but can be sold to vendors for currency.)
LingYang brought the materials up with him to the peak of Mt. KunLun, facing the sky, he bowed three times.

[Local] Bell: G.o.d, Jesus, Virgin Mary, Buddha, Jade Emperor, Mercy Buddha, G.o.d of Earth, G.o.d of Mt. KunLun as well as Brother Lang please bless me with a high grade craft.

In , the weapons and armours crafted had four grades, low grade, medium grade, high grade and top grade. Medium grade items were the most common, high and low grades took second place, and there was no need to mention top grade, the chances of that happening was minute, when a top grade item was crafted, it would be announced throughout all servers.
People who crafted items were mostly very superst.i.tious, LingYang doing this was not considered overboard. Some people when crafting high level armour would even practice divination, studying the sky, insisting on crafting only on an auspicious day, only at a location where the FengShui was good.
LingYang double-clicked on the , learning it. He selected his lifeskills panel, his cursor on the crafting b.u.t.ton, and pressed down apprehensively.
The progress bar seemed to move along slowly, finally, the crafting of the spear was completed. An announcement appeared on the screen, at that moment, LingYang could not believe what he was seeing.

[Announcement] 's excellent forging skills has struck the jackpot, is born, what can compete with this object!

The global chat exploded.
“What the f.u.c.k! What kind of insane G.o.dly weapon is this!”
“The attributes are crazy!!”
“This is a new recipe from Moon Well? I've never seen it before.”
“Ahahah what jackpot is this, I've been crafting for two months and no good items were crafted!”
“Crafter please name your price, I'll take it.”
“Buying it with RMB, name your price.”
“Those on top who are asking for a price please take a look, just by looking this weapon is for a guardian warrior, the crafter is Bell, it's definitely for a certain somebody, I'm afraid you're out of luck.”
　　
LingYang's personal chat window was also flooded with the guild members' congratulations and enquiries.
He hesitated, switching out of the game window, he went to the game's payment page on the website.
LingYang had played for about a year and a half already, he had never bought any credits, the first time he spent money on the game was the 500 dollars he used to buy the account. In contrast, as his team used to contribute to the game magazine, he even earned some money.
He took out his bank card, purchasing 200 game credits, then went on the marketplace to buy weapon-upgrading tools.
The weapons and armour in the game could be augmented up to +10, below level 6 the upgrading-tools could be purchased with the game currency, anything above that would require a purchase of in the marketplace with credits.
LingYang first used the low and middle upgrading gems to augment the spear until +6, then one by one he threw a top upgrading gem on it.
The game developers, to encourage the purchase of credits, would announce each successful augmentation of the weapon with the top upgrading gem throughout global!

[Announcement] has been augmented by to [Announcement] has been augmented by to [Announcement] has been augmented by to

The discussion just now in the global chat had yet to finish, and the three consecutive upgrading news again blinded the audience.
“I despise rich people!”
“Rich people are so detestable!”
“It's a rich man's wife ╮(╯▽╰)╭”
“Marrying into a good family is better than being born in a good family ╮(╯▽╰)╭”
“Taking the husband's money to throw it on the husband's body ╮(╯▽╰)╭”
“The above people are all just envious, jealous and haters, no explanations.”
　　
200 credits worth of top upgrading gems disappeared in the blink of an eye, the weapon was only augmented to +9. LingYang thought that since he was already at this point, gritting his teeth, he purchased another 200 credits.
This time he bought a gem worth 100 credits first, and threw it.
The chances of failure from +9 to +10 was insanely high, LingYang was prepared to lose the 100 credits, who knew that after throwing that last gem, he actually succeeded.
