Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 877 - 626: Black Dragon Spear!
The master and servant finished dinner, tossed all the dishes into the capsule home, and the household robot tirelessly cleaned everything up. ๐ป๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ธโฏ๐ท๐๐ฐ๐โฏ๐ญ.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ
As he arrived at the front hall, Zi Yuan still sat behind the counter; the blacksmith shop was deserted, with few people coming in to buy things.
Occasionally someone would come in to take a look but would ultimately leave in disappointment.
It's not that the items here aren't good enough; rather, they're too high-quality and expensive for the average Outer City resident to afford.
Even though District Seven is a top-ranked gathering place for skilled individuals, not everyone has extra funds to buy good things; there are many advanced shops here, and the expenses are just as terrifying.
Li Zheng had hurriedly come and gone before, not having had a chance to look closely; now, with some free time, he took a stroll around the blacksmith shop.
[You definitely should take a good look around; there might be some unexpected surprises waiting for you.]
At the moment Li Zheng had this thought, Old Pu turned on his enigmatic mode, giving a vague hint.
"Surprise?" Li Zheng looked at the first item on the shelf nearest to him, which was an ordinary, unremarkable long saber. Beside the shelf was a display showing the price.
Thirty thousand Red Crystal Coins!
"This is freaking terrifying!"
Li Zheng gaped silently; after completing a Terminal-issued official task, his earnings were a mere five hundred Red Crystal Coins, yet this inconspicuous long saber was priced at sixty times his entire wealth!
[It's not its problem that it's expensive, it's your problem!]
Old Pu coldly stabbed him in the heart, almost making his mouth warp off: "When did I, Li, ever suffer such indignity?!"
But the next moment, thinking about how long it would take to earn such money, he instantly deflated.
"Though I hate to admit it, I really am quite poor..." Li Zheng was almost in tears; if other Matrix players heard this, they would secretly curse him for boasting, yet in the Outer City, this amount of wealth is insufficient.
Especially in such a high-ranked district, five hundred Red Crystal Coins really don't count for much.
Seeing him staring blankly at the first weapon, Zi Yuan thought he didn't know how to operate the shelf and approached: "Let me bring up the detailed information on this item for you, so you can properly see the Strength of the blacksmith shop."
As he spoke, he clicked a few times on the price screen, and instantly, a piece of text appeared. These shelves with placed items have a built-in translation function, and based on Li Zheng's race, Zi Yuan adjusted the text so he could understand: "This is the detailed information on the Furious Flame Long Saber; because it's different from the Matrix, in the Outer City you can't see the creator's information for judging the quality of items, so someone developed these shelves allowing merchants to write all the item characteristics inside."
Li Zheng nodded, thinking: "I know a bit about your blacksmith shop's Strength, but isn't everything just too pricey!!!"
But on the surface, he forced calmness, carefully looking at the detailed introduction of the Furious Flame Long Saber, discovering that this weapon, outwardly unimpressive, is actually above the Basic Level tier!
Moreover, during forging, it used a mineral that Li Zheng had never seen before called "Furious Flame Crystal"; the saber itself has a flame feature, requiring only a bit of Spiritual Power and Genetic Force to summon a high-temperature flame on its surface.
According to the introduction, this flame is quite magical, affecting only the user's target when summoned, without impacting other people or objects.
If the user excels at Fire Gene Ability, there are more mysterious uses when combined with this saber, such as releasing saber-shaped flames for ranged attacks against enemies, with power comparable to ordinary High Tier weapons, easily slaying Basic Level creatures.
After finishing with the Furious Flame Long Saber, Li Zheng, curious, looked at several more items, becoming increasingly amazed.
The blacksmith shop is deservedly the top shop in District Seven; casually taking something off the shelf, he couldn't afford any of it.
The Furious Flame Long Saber from before turned out to be relatively cheap; there were weapons priced over a hundred thousand Red Crystal Coins!
And this weapon wasn't unfamiliar to Li Zheng.
It was a pure black spear with a matte surface, upon which a golden Giant Dragon was sculpted with special craftsmanship, lifelike.
At first glance, the dragon head directly faced Li Zheng's face, and he almost thought the golden Giant Dragon was about to leap out and attack him!
The last time he saw an identical item to this spear was when he clashed with the Wandering Merchant Xiao, who used the same weapon.
"One claw, two claws, three claws... five claws!?" Li Zheng counted the golden Giant Dragon's claws coiling on the spear surface, amazed to find it had five, "Who put the engravings on this spear's surface? What was the reference?"
"This?" Zi Yuan paused; he didn't expect Li Zheng to be interested in such things, explaining: "The Black Dragon Spear is crafted by the eldest senior brother and is his masterpiece; there are only two in the world, with one sold.
Moreover, the engravings were based on a certain creature's shape from Divine Bird Race legends, known as a 'Dragon,' a sworn enemy to the ancestors of Divine Bird Race, extremely fierce.
The eldest senior brother used 'Dragon' as engravings also considering the Black Dragon Spear's characteristic as a weapon, adding a fierce aura to it."
Li Zheng quietly listened, with a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, viewed by Earth Chinese descendants as auspicious, noble, and totemic, the Dragon turned into a Fierce Beast in the Divine Bird Race!
