Chapter 87

Since they had already decided to fight for several consecutive days during the previous discussion, Mu Feng and his two companions did not rush their journey. Instead, they deliberately took detours or stopped to eliminate small groups of monsters to gain experience. Meanwhile, Xiaodie would secretly turn invisible and walk back to investigate the direction they had come from.

Unfortunately, they never found any trace of the Dark Tribe players. This made Mu Feng suspicious. Could it be that they were not secretly following them but were already waiting at the destination? After calculating the time, Mu Feng decided to travel as fast as possible to reach the lair of the Demon King Sandel before logging off at 6 a.m.!

The speed of their mounts was very fast, and the Sinners' Prison was not as large as they had imagined. After all, it was not the Second World but just a space for exiled mortals. When Mu Feng and his companions arrived at the lair of the Demon King Sandel, they were shocked. They never expected to find such a structure in the Sinners' Prison—a tall white city wall made of huge white stones, with uniform white walls and blue tiles inside. It was like a much smaller version of Lionheart City!

To build such a city in the resource-scarce Sinners' Prison, could it be that the legendary Demon King Sandel, who had gained eternal life, really possessed the power of a divine artifact?

"It seems we can enter. All the guards and residents are neutral yellow. They shouldn't attack us if we don't attack first," Xiaodie reported after investigating the city while invisible.

"Alright, let's go in and see what kind of person this Demon King Sandel is!" With over an hour left, Mu Feng led the two women toward the city.

"System notification: You have discovered the independent city of Sky City! Gained 2500 experience points." The city was actually called Sky City.

It seemed to be an open city, and Mu Feng and his companions entered very easily. Although there were guards at the city gates, they did not stop or question them, allowing them to enter directly.

Sky City, though a smaller version of Lionheart City, was well-equipped with all the necessary facilities, including pharmacies, tailors, and blacksmiths. In the center of the city stood a grand building, larger and more magnificent than the others. Mu Feng guessed that Sandel must live there.

The people walking around the streets were all human, which was quite different from the intelligence provided by Fabregas, suggesting that Sandel had already allied with the demons. Out of curiosity, Mu Feng and his companions entered an engineering shop.

"Welcome, customers. What do you need?" The shop owner was a human uncle who greeted them warmly as soon as they entered. He seemed no different from the people in Lionheart City. After so long, the truly exiled sinners had all died out. Now, they were ordinary residents of the Sinners' Prison, and Sky City was their home.

"Can you show me your engineering blueprints and materials?" Mu Feng asked. The only thing worth looking forward to was whether there were any legendary blueprints here. The blueprint for creating Ball had been very beneficial to him. Since the Sinners' Prison had been cut off from the Sky Continent for so long, there might be some lost treasures.

"Here they are, please choose!" The shop owner said. A list automatically unfolded in front of Mu Feng, displaying various engineering blueprints and materials, totaling nearly two hundred! After carefully browsing through them and comparing them with his advanced engineering skills, Mu Feng indeed found many things that were not available on the Sky Continent!

Blueprint for a Jetpack: An engineering component that can be equipped on shoes. After use, it can propel the user 30 yards into the air through a flame thrust! Cooldown: 30 minutes. Strange component! Without a parachute, wouldn't this just result in a direct fall to death?

Blueprint for an Ancient Cannon: A firearm weapon, level (Epic), +596 attack power, +178 agility, +200 stamina. +30% critical hit! Reload time: 4.5 seconds! Movement speed reduced by 40% after equipping! Required level: 45! What a bizarre piece of equipment, how is it supposed to be used? Moreover, Mu Feng did not know any hunters who used firearms. Even if there were, the level 45 requirement was not something that could be reached quickly. It was a purple weapon that looked good but was not very practical.

Multicolor Gear (Strength): A special engineering part that can increase the strength of the crafted item by 50 points! A single piece of equipment can have up to two different attribute multicolor gears.

Multicolor Gear (Agility): A special engineering part that can increase the agility of the crafted item by 50 points! A single piece of equipment can have up to two different attribute multicolor gears.

Multicolor Gear (Intelligence): A special engineering part that can increase the intelligence of the crafted item by 50 points! A single piece of equipment can have up to two different attribute multicolor gears.

Multicolor Gear...

These were engineering parts that could increase major attributes! After reaching Master level in engineering, players could start crafting usable equipment, such as firearms for hunters or special attribute helmets, gloves, and capes. If multicolor gears were added... they would undoubtedly become powerful equipment!

However, these gears were not learned from blueprints but had to be purchased directly! Each gear cost 5000 gold!

Mu Feng checked his bag and found he only had 30,000 gold. This was thanks to Ball picking up a lot of blue and green equipment during their previous adventures, which Mu Feng sold at the auction house when there was no demand. These items, which Mu Feng and his companions, who were at the forefront of the game, did not care about, were valuable to lower-level players and sold quickly at good prices.

In the end, Mu Feng bought two of each of the strength, agility, intelligence, and stamina gears. If he ran out in the future... it would depend on whether he had the chance to return to the Sinners' Prison again. He also added the two strange blueprints to his collection.

"By the way, Xiaodie, what profession did you choose?" Mu Feng asked Xiaodie. They had known each other for so long, but he still did not know what secondary profession Xiaodie had chosen.

"I chose leatherworking. I thought learning leatherworking would allow me to craft leather armor for myself, but unfortunately, I never got to practice it. Rogues also need to learn poisoning and lockpicking skills, so I never had the time!" Xiaodie said helplessly. She had not even reached the intermediate level in leatherworking to unlock the secondary profession benefits.

However, she had practiced poisoning to a high level, which was why she could deal such high damage. Rogues could only use poisons they crafted themselves, which they applied to their weapons. There were many types of poison effects, such as direct damage, continuous damage, severe injury, paralysis, and slowing effects. However, they could only apply poisons to their main and off-hand weapons, and the combination was a matter of skill.

"Let's go and see what other secondary profession shops have to offer!" Mu Feng found that the Sinners' Prison was like an unexplored treasure trove. The three of them quickly went to other secondary profession trainers. However, they were disappointed to find that they could not even open the purchase list if they had not learned the profession! In the end, Xiaodie bought a few advanced blueprints from the leatherworking trainer that she could not use yet.

As for Asuna, she lingered at the cooking vendor, clicking through the purchase list so quickly that Mu Feng was amazed by the amount of gold in her bag!

"Phew..." Finally, after browsing through everything and adding what she wanted to her inventory, Asuna closed the list with a satisfied look. Mu Feng and Xiaodie were stunned.

"What's wrong?" Asuna looked at them in confusion.

"Um... how much gold did you spend just now?" Xiaodie asked.

"About... 400,000 to 500,000 gold..." Asuna calculated.

"You're ruthless..." Mu Feng and Xiaodie had to admit defeat.

"I can't help it, these cooking blueprints are just too attractive to me! There's even a recipe for roasted dragon meat! And many special ingredients and spices from the Sinners' Prison, which are rare and can't be found elsewhere if not bought!" Mu Feng realized one thing... never let a woman like Asuna watch shopping channels, or the consequences would be unimaginable!

By the time the three of them had finished exploring the entire Sky City, it was almost 6 a.m. They found a hotel, booked three rooms, and each logged off while lying on the beds. Logging off in a hotel bed could accumulate a certain amount of double experience time, which was why many players preferred to return to the main city hotel rather than logging off outside.
