Chapter 18: Crafting a Set!

Supervisor Shen Qiu stood nearby, his eyes wide enough to almost pop out.

President Gu actually agreed instantly to such an outrageous demand proposed by Ou Yezi!

Wasn't he afraid that the peerless Genius he had painstakingly nurtured would just up and leave?

Gu Yan was crystal clear in his heart.

What this kid said was right.

With his forging talent, wouldn't he shine anywhere?

A tiny Forging Guild of Tianhai City simply couldn't trap a dormant Dragon like him.

Rather than watching him fall into someone else's arms with his own eyes, it was better to first secure this good karma with the utmost sincerity.

In the future, there might be unexpected surprises.

Soon, both parties finalized the details and signed a standard contract.

Gu Yan was beaming with joy as he fished an archaic ring out of the Storage Pouch at his waist and handed it to Ou Yezi.

"Little friend, this is a small token of this old man's appreciation."

"A space ring, considered a welcome gift for joining the guild."

Zhou Huai controlled Ou Yezi to take it, and a ripple also stirred in his heart.

A space ring!

Every single one of these things was priceless.

Even the most ordinary goods started at fifty thousand Daxia Coins!

This President Gu was truly lavish with his spending!

He slipped the ring onto his finger and thought to himself.

Inside the ring was truly a world of its own.

An independent space measuring a full ten cubic meters was quietly revealed.

"Many thanks for President Gu's generous gift," Ou Yezi said sincerely.

Gu Yan waved his hand dismissively, not caring in the least.

"A small trinket, nothing to speak of."

He sized up Ou Yezi and said with concern, "Little friend has continuously forged so many gauntlets, you must be tired."

"If there's nothing else, go back and rest first."

"If you have nowhere to stay, this old man will have little Shen arrange a quiet courtyard for you."

Zhou Huai controlled Ou Yezi to shake his head.

"President, I am not tired."

"I still want to go to that top-grade forging room and forge a few more pieces of equipment to test my hands."

Hearing this, a trace of undisguised astonishment appeared on Gu Yan's face.

Are the energies of S-Rank forgers all this monstrous?

For ordinary forgers, successfully forging one or two pieces of equipment a day meant their energy was already exhausted and they were as tired as dogs.

This kid had forged, all things considered today, probably no less than a dozen pieces of equipment, right?

And yet he was still full of vigor and said he wasn't tired?!

Little did he know that Zhou Huai's Clone was equipped with an AI intelligent core, so something like an energy bar didn't exist at all.

As long as the Materials were sufficient, theoretically it could be forged indefinitely!

Gu Yan suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded, and looked at Supervisor Shen Qiu on the side.

"Little Shen, since little friend Ou Yezi is in high spirits, you should take him there."

Supervisor Shen Qiu quickly bowed and agreed, "President, rest assured, I will definitely arrange it properly."

Afterward, the two left the president's office.

Ou Yezi did not head to the top-grade forging room on the highest floor immediately.

He first came to the blueprint sales department on the second floor.

The dazzling array of blueprints made one's eyes spin.

Zhou Huai's gaze was like a torch as he quickly filtered through them.

Soon, he extracted several blueprints from them.

[Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Greaves (Fine)]

[Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Cuirass (Fine)]

[Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Gauntlets (Fine)]

[Forging Blueprint: Shadow Wind Belt (Fine)]

This was an 8-Rank blue fine-quality set!

Four-piece set effect: All attributes increased by 15%, recovering 1% HP per second when out of combat.

If it could be forged into a higher quality, the set effect would be further enhanced!

This set of equipment was practically tailor-made for Yasuo!

Afterward, he selected another 8-Rank [Wind-Breaker Sword] blueprint.

Everything was ready. Guided by Supervisor Shen Qiu, Ou Yezi came to the fifth floor of the guild.

The entire fifth floor was empty and solemn.

Only a huge bronze door stood quietly at the end of the corridor.

Inscribed on the door were complicated flame patterns, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"Mr. Ou Yezi, this is our guild's only top-grade forging room." Supervisor Shen Qiu's tone carried a hint of awe.

Ou Yezi nodded and pushed open the heavy bronze door.

"Rrumble—"

A wave of heat far more scorching and purer than the Elementary forging room rushed toward them!

The internal space of the top-grade forging room was extremely vast.

Most eye-catching was the gigantic dark golden forging furnace in the center of the room!

Beneath the forging furnace, what burned was not ordinary fire.

Instead, it was a cluster of deep blue flames, beating quietly as if possessing life, emitting a terrifying high temperature that made one's heart palpitate!

"Is this… strange fire?" Ou Yezi muttered to himself.

Truly extraordinary.

Just by getting close, one could feel the majestic fire-type energy contained within it.

Forging equipment with this kind of strange fire, the success rate and quality would surely be greatly enhanced!

A moment later, Supervisor Shen Qiu personally led people to bring up all the Materials required by Ou Yezi one by one.

Various rare Ores and exotic beast Materials piled up the forging table.

"Mr. Ou Yezi, the Materials are all here. If you have any demands, just give instructions at any time," Supervisor Shen Qiu said respectfully.

Ou Yezi expressed his thanks and slowly closed the heavy stone door of the top-grade forging room.

"System, AI take over." Zhou Huai issued an instruction in his heart.

The liveliness in Ou Yezi's eyes paused slightly, then returned to normal as he silently began a new round of forging work.

Only then did Zhou Huai return his consciousness to his main body.

A thick wave of sleepiness struck him, his eyelids grew heavy, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the window lattice and sprinkled on Zhou Huai's face.

He sat up abruptly from the bed, checking Ou Yezi's results right away.

Consciousness sank in.

Inside the top-grade forging room.

On the forging table, the four pieces of equipment of the Shadow Wind Set and the Wind-Breaker Sword were already neatly placed there.

Every piece of equipment exuded a brilliant light far exceeding fine quality!

Zhou Huai controlled Ou Yezi to step forward and picked up the Shadow Wind Greaves.

[Shadow Wind Greaves (Rare ☆☆☆)]

[Required Rank: LV8]

[Defense: +80]

[Agility: +15]

[Movement Speed: +10%]

Rare Three-Star!

He picked up the Shadow Wind Cuirass.

[Shadow Wind Cuirass (Rare ☆☆☆☆)]

Rare Four-Star!

Shadow Wind Gauntlets, Rare Three-Star!

Wind-Breaker Sword, Rare Four-Star!

When he picked up the last piece, the Shadow Wind Belt, his breathing hitched slightly.

[Shadow Wind Belt (Rare ☆☆☆☆☆)]

Rare Five-Star! Max Star!

[Shadow Wind Set (4/4) Effect]:

[1. All attributes increased by 32%!]

[2. Out of combat, recover 3% HP per second!]

"Hiss!" Zhou Huai drew a sharp breath.

These attributes were simply Heaven-Defying!

On the market, an ordinary 8-Rank rare equipment could sell for at least ten thousand Daxia Coins.

For ones with set effects, the price would double or triple even more!

Just this single Shadow Wind Set, its value had probably broken through 150,000 Daxia Coins!

And this was just the Materials cost price!

If it were taken out for auction, the price could be even higher!

Zhou Huai put all the equipment into the space ring one by one.

He controlled Ou Yezi to push open the door of the top-grade forging room.

Outside the door, a young woman with delicate features wearing a professional suit had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Ou Yezi come out, she quickly bowed and saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Ou Yezi. I am the exclusive assistant arranged for you by the president. My name is Lin Wei."

"In the future, if you have any demands, you can instruct me."

Ou Yezi nodded, revealing a hint of a "tired" expression.

"I am a bit tired and need to go back to rest."

Having forged continuously for a day and a night, if he still said he wasn't tired, that would be too shocking to the world.

Lin Wei quickly said, "The president has already arranged a residence for you, which is an Advanced apartment near the guild. I will send you over right now."

Ou Yezi grunted in acknowledgment.

The two came to the guild entrance.

Just as Lin Wei went to the parking lot to get the car.

A familiar figure appeared at the street corner.

It was none other than the resurrected Thunder Swordsman Yasuo!

The two Clones intersected gazes across the crowd.

Without any expression, without any words.

The next second.

Ou Yezi flipped his wrist, and that space ring quietly left his hand, tracing an imperceptible arc and precisely falling into Yasuo's hands.

Yasuo caught the ring, without the slightest hesitation, turned around and melted into the bustling crowd.

The whole process was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, clean and neat.

It looked just like experienced underground agents exchanging intelligence.

Zhou Huai thought to himself.

It was still better for these two Clones not to have too much intersection for now.

Lest someone trace them back and wipe them all out at once.
