Back to Rainfall City.
When Yang Ye called Taozi, the latter was leveling up and didn't understand why Yang Ye was calling.
"Promise, what's up? Did you get the hidden profession sorted out?"
"How could it be that fast? Almost there. By the way, where are you? Come to the main city, I'll get you some cool gear!"
"What kind of thing? Don't tell me it's bad?" I Eat Peaches was skeptical, clearly not fully trusting Yang Ye.
"How could it be bad? I got a cool thing that can randomly add effects to gear. Each piece of gear can have a 5% increase in mana. Want it?"
"Wow, that's awesome? Hurry up, a full set with 5% mana! Where are you? I'll come to pick you up, don't move, it's tiring to walk." I Eat Peaches immediately acted submissive upon hearing about the 5% mana increase for the full set.
Yang Ye was very pleased, nodding and saying, "Not bad, not bad. Coordinates 75475:45745:12, hurry up, time is precious. I need to complete the hidden profession quickly!"
"I'll be right there, sir!"
...
Seeing Taozi running over eagerly, Yang Ye put on a look of impatience, "What's going on? Don't you want it? Making me wait so long?"
I Eat Peaches, upon hearing this, thought, "Oh no, the rich guy is angry!" He quickly smiled and apologized, "Hehe, Brother Promise, don't be angry. It's my fault, I shouldn't have made you wait so long. Here, I have a 25-level gold leg armor. Do you think, as a grown-up, you can overlook a small mistake..."
"What?! 25-level gold leg armor?! Do you think I, Promise, am what kind of person? Helping others and demanding payment? Do you look down on me?" Yang Ye said angrily.
"No, no! Absolutely not! How could I dare to look down on you..."
"Hmm... Good, good. Give me the leg armor." Yang Ye quickly equipped the leg armor I Eat Peaches traded to him, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Give me your weapon."
Taozi respectfully handed it over.
Hehe, got the test item, time to experiment!
Opening the enchanting window, he learned the method for random attribute replacement, and a new line appeared in the table on the right side of the enchanting window:
Available: Random attribute replacement. (No more than 5 identical attributes on all gear)
What? No more than 5?! That means there won't be any godly tanks with all stats increasing health, or assassins with all stats increasing physical attack?
Damn! Yang Ye cursed inwardly. Just this one sentence would cut his income by at least half! But, one must learn to be content. Having 5 identical attributes is enough.
Calming down, Yang Ye threw I Eat Peaches' spirit-level staff into the enchanting window—
Start enchanting!
The gear started to shake slightly, indicating that the enchanting process was underway. Below the gear, there was an option to cancel the enchanting, and to the right of that, it showed—
Current enchanting effect: Mighty Force: Strength increased by 5%.
Damn, 5% strength increase, Taozi will kill me! Cancel quickly!
[System: Do you want to cancel the current enchanting? If canceled, the item will remain unchanged.]
Of course, it must be canceled! Once canceled, the current enchanting effect immediately became none.
Yang Ye was stunned, could it be the miner's hat?
He started the process again, and this time, the right side of the cancel option showed: Current enchanting effect: Armor Penetration: 3% chance to cause armor penetration, reducing the target's defense by 10%. Looking further to the right, there was a drop-down menu. Yang Ye pulled it down, and it instantly blinded him—
Slaughter: Fixed reduction of 4 seconds in all warrior skill cooldowns.
Ice Blade: Attacks have ice attribute, 3% chance to cause freezing, preventing the target from moving and attacking.
Flower Dance: 5% chance to summon a flower dance, restoring 2% of health.
Mad Blade: 5% chance to ignite blood, increasing attack by 5% and reducing defense by 5%.
...
Yang Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. By the time he reacted, the enchanting progress bar was already at the end...
[System: Congratulations, enchanting successful.]
Damn! Yang Ye cursed, taking out the staff and seeing a new red line at the bottom—
Additional effect: Falling Star: Look... the stars... are falling! 5% chance to trigger the Falling Star effect, causing stars to fall from the sky and attack the target.
Damn, this guy will curse me to death...
Sure enough, when he returned the staff to I Eat Peaches, the latter was stunned for a moment and then said, "What, Promise, do you want to watch the stars with me?"
Yang Ye blushed, "I made a mistake just now, let me try again. Watch, it definitely won't happen this time. I'll add a 5% increase in physical attack to my weapon, watch."
Saying that, Yang Ye threw his spirit sword onto the enchanting window and started the process, quickly searching for the 5% physical attack increase. However, when the progress bar was almost complete, Yang Ye still couldn't find it and had to cancel it reluctantly.
I Eat Peaches watched calmly, his face expressionless, not saying a word. This was definitely the calm before the storm...
No, I need to think of a way. There are too many attributes, I can't find them...
At this moment, Yang Ye had a sudden idea. When canceling the process, could he choose the attribute at the question window?
He decided to try it. He threw the spirit sword back onto the enchanting window and canceled the process—
[System: Do you want to cancel the current enchanting? If canceled, the item will remain unchanged.]
Two options: "Yes" and "No." "Yes" cancels directly, "No" continues the process. Yang Ye, without hesitation, pointed his trembling hand to the drop-down menu behind the current enchanting effect and pulled it down—
It worked!!
It really came down!!
Yang Ye nervously scrolled down, finding a vast number of attributes. After scrolling down a long way, he finally found one—
Unrivaled: Physical attack increased by 6%.
A simple and clear effect, this is it!
He selected it, the drop-down menu disappeared, and the current enchanting effect became "Unrivaled."
Then he selected "No"! Continue the process!
[System: Congratulations, enchanting successful.]
Taking it out, he saw a new red line at the bottom of the Yuezhou Clan's Wailing Legacy, clearly showing the "Unrivaled" effect.
Yang Ye directly traded the sword to I Eat Peaches, who was shocked and couldn't believe it. Then he added the "Unrivaled" effect to his spirit-level necklace and showed it to Taozi, who was stunned speechless.
"Damn, damn, damn, damn... Brother Promise, you must give me a full set, or I'll use my star staff to fight you!" I Eat Peaches said excitedly, the durability issue finally solved!
"Sure, sure, give me your gear, this time I'll do it for free. You should know, this is very expensive!" Yang Ye nodded, smirking.
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Promise, you're awesome, you're the best. Do it quickly..."
I Eat Peaches traded all his gear to Yang Ye. This guy had pretty good gear, with a spirit-level weapon, three gold-level items, seven silver-level items, and a cloak he hadn't obtained yet.
It took more than half an hour to finish, giving 5 items a 5% increase in maximum mana and 5 items a 2% increase in mana regeneration.
After finishing, Yang Ye gave himself a set of 5 items with a 6% increase in physical attack, 5 items with a 5% increase in health, and two items with a 3% increase in physical and magical defense.
With this, Yang Ye's health had already broken the 3000 mark, and his attack power had surpassed 1000, truly capable of one-shotting anyone.
Yang Ye was in a great mood and sent one of the attributes to Zhulong's Song, the guild leader who was definitely very rich and wouldn't mind spending money on gear attributes. He would control the market to prevent this from becoming too common, ensuring a steady income, hahaha...
A few minutes after sending it, Zhulong's Song replied—
"Did you make it?"
"I did, but I can only make a little each day, and I haven't even taken care of myself yet."
"What's the price?"
"What do you think?"
"Not cheap, how many can you make in a day?"
"A little, and there are various losses, sometimes it might fail."
"Can you choose the attributes?"
"Random, so there are losses. Do you want it?"
"Yes, 20 gold for one piece of gear, 50 gold for the attribute I want. Long-term cooperation, how about it?"
"Deal, I don't have time now, I'll let you know when I do."
"Okay, definitely contact me!"
Talking business with rich people is so straightforward! But 20 gold per piece, 100 pieces would only be 2000 gold, a bit of a loss. It seems I need to buy good gear and add awesome attributes to auction, that way I can make money faster, hahaha... I'm so smart!
With the business settled and the plan in place, Yang Ye was happy.
Looking at the time, it was already noon! He quickly logged out to eat and then logged back in. His hidden profession wasn't complete yet, he had to hurry.
He rushed towards the lair of the Absolute, wishing he could use instant teleportation, but only time mages could do that.
The road was crowded with players, more and more people were playing TOST. A slight misstep could result in bumping into a real-life millionaire, given the commercial value of TOST that many manufacturers had discovered.
Yang Ye, in a hurry, didn't notice the person in front of him and accidentally bumped into them. Although it was a game, Yang Ye quickly apologized, "Bro, sorry, I was too fast, didn't see you. Are you okay?"
"Damn, who doesn't have eyes? Going to eat shit?" The person was clearly angry and ignored the apology.
Yang Ye, who was initially apologetic, became annoyed. Growing up without family, he usually tolerated small things, like the Nightfall incident, but he insisted on revenge for insults and attacks, even if it was delayed. Now, being insulted, he felt a bit of anger but didn't fully react, as he was at fault first. He calmly said, "Bro, I bumped into you, it's my fault, and I've apologized. Is it not right for you to speak like that?"
The person turned around, a young man about Yang Ye's age, with a cocky look. He sneered at Yang Ye, "Who's your bro? You're not worthy to be my bro. What's wrong with you? Not only will I scold you, but I'll also kill you!" He waved his hand, and a dozen small accounts instantly surrounded them.
Yang Ye laughed inwardly, what, a group fight in the game? Do they think this is the street?
Just as Yang Ye was about to teach these brats a lesson, a familiar voice came from outside the crowd, "Xiao Sun, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble?"
Yang Ye turned to look, "Oh, isn't this the familiar Demon Slayer?"
