Chapter 890 Equipment Customization
"Xia Vibranium has strong ductility and toughness, and is suitable for making main weapons and armor-type equipment. Of course, except for some very special equipment, generally speaking, only one main material is not enough."
Lao Wang took Lu Chen to sit down at a tea table in the workshop and began to introduce the functions of the two metals to Lu Chen.
"Clarke Green Gold has outstanding energy conduction properties and is suitable for making some spell-casting media equipment or accessories. I won't tell you the detailed properties of these two metals, because you won't understand if I do."
Lao Wang knocked the ashes from his cigarette, "So, young man, what do you need to build?"
Before Lu Chen came here, he had certainly thought about it, "I need a coat, just like the one I'm wearing, but it should be the best that can be used within the conditions of use."
He showed the characteristics of the Duke of Killing to Lao Wang and wanted to see what the master craftsman had to say.
Lao Wang glanced at the details of the Duke of Killing, "This coat is not good. Many clothes now have self-repairing functions, but they are actually flashy. To put it bluntly, the resistance is not enough. The meaning of this dress to you is only to improve your attributes. As well as a temporary burst of active skills, but in fact, once the young man’s strength improves, you will find that these additional attributes are gradually no longer needed.”
Lu Chen was thoughtful after listening to Lao Wang's words. He had previously deduced that the attribute bonus of equipment was not the blessing of external forces, but a stimulation of one's own potential.
This kind of stimulation may be limited, so when it comes to equipment, you should pay more attention to its function rather than its temporary attribute improvement.
"Looking at your expression, I should have understood. The young man is currently practicing the Heaven-shading Technique? Have you ever been forbidden by God?"
Lao Wang looked at Lu Chen, and it was obvious that he had used investigative skills, but Lu Chen didn't even feel like he was being investigated.
Lu Chen didn't mind others spying on his strength. After all, he came here to customize equipment. Lao Wang didn't know his combat style and strength, so it was impossible to create equipment suitable for him.
"A few times."
Lu Chen answered honestly.
"Then you should understand that the potential of the human body is theoretically unlimited, but the part you spend in advance is limited. If you have all the equipment to increase your attributes, you will find that the increase rate after the Divine Restriction is not as high as yours. It’s high now.”
Lao Wang exhaled a puff of smoke, "So you have to think clearly whether you want stability or longevity."
Lu Chen understood what Lao Wang meant. Stability means that the attribute bonus of the equipment is all arranged, and long-term means it is more focused on functionality.
"I hope it can be used up to the seventh level. If possible, I hope the old man can focus more on functionality. My combat style is more brave warrior type."
Lu Chen explained.
Lao Wang glanced at Lu Chen, "Aren't you reckless?"
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, okay. Apart from your bloodline, I can't tell you about your background. But just by looking at your specialization and skills, I can tell what your style is. To be honest, what's going on with you?"
Lao Wang looked at Lu Chen, "Your family wholesales inheritance crystals? Is your combat proficiency so high?"
"Isn't this something you can improve by practicing more combat?"
Lu Chen spread his hands and said that he didn't need inheritance crystals to upgrade these things.
Lao Wang was speechless for a moment, "Young man, it's a good thing my granddaughter isn't here, otherwise she would definitely scold you."
He waved his hand, "I see that you only have three pieces of equipment now, apart from the main weapon. Hey... this ring is still a growth equipment. Why does it look so familiar to me?"
Lu Chen unhidden the God Eater and showed the details, "Could it be that you, old gentleman, built it?"
Lao Wang looked at the details of the God Eater and clicked his tongue: "Oh, I remembered, wasn't this made by Xiao Liu a few days ago? I heard him say that it was confiscated by the space, and I was still heartbroken for a long time. You can always use this ring. Use it, don’t think its characteristics are too one-sided, but with growth and your own guidance, other transformations can occur later.”
"Can you also change the characteristics?"
Lu Chen's curiosity arose. He had never talked to a blacksmithing boss before, so he didn't know there were all these tricks with equipment.
The function of the God Eater's ring is very pleasant to use in the land abandoned by the gods, but not all creatures have divinity, and it is indeed very limited.
The God Eater's skills, except for those targeting divine creatures, will be cut off by almost half, and in order to grow, it also needs to kill divine creatures, which is different from Regicide.
"Of course. Its current characteristics are caused by forging materials. You can incorporate other materials in the future. Growth equipment is variable. When you become familiar with its flexibility, you can guide your abilities in a direction more suitable for your own development. of."
Lao Wang explained as he scanned Lu Chen's body, "The ring can be used. Let's change the clothes and shoes."
As he said that, he took out a blueprint and said, "You are quite strange. You don't look like someone who is short of money. You are not satisfied with the equipment on your body. Let me tell you about it first."
"Sir, please speak."
Lu Chen looked like he was listening attentively. He was indeed not short of money, but there were only a few pieces of equipment in each world, mainly equipment in the trading market, and he looked down on most of them.
Or maybe he had subconsciously felt that using equipment to increase attributes was not a long-term solution, and he didn't really want to buy equipment with mediocre functionality.
"You should have a lot of space to play. I shouldn't tell you this, but I always feel that you are a little confused about equipment."
Lao Wang pointed to the figure on the drawing and said, "First of all, let me tell you how many pieces of equipment an explorer can wear at most. You should know this, right?"
Lu Chen thought about it in his mind and couldn't tell a number for a while.
Lao Wang's eyes were strange, "Boy, how do you get around in space?"
Lu Chen looked embarrassed. He just saw suitable equipment and could wear it, so he just put it on without any special research.
"Let me tell you, in addition to weapons, shields, and spell-casting media, explorers can wear up to eight items that are effective, including leg armor, chest armor, arm armor, shoes, outerwear, a head and neck jewelry, and a ring. Two."
Lao Wang explained patiently, "Outerwear is a general concept. It can be what you wear, or it can be pants, but it is generally uniform and can only take effect on one. For example, some outerwear includes The upper and lower body are mainly for displaying the appearance. In the words of my granddaughter...well, they are the fashion in the game."
"understood!"
When Lu Chen heard the last sentence, he suddenly became enlightened.
"Leg armor, chest armor, and arm armor are not necessarily three pieces. If you wear full-body armor, you can only wear one piece. Usually high-end armor can be hidden like jewelry, so it's not It will be seen by others, and the function will still be effective. Of course, when the armor floats on the body surface, it has the best protective effect."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little confused, "Can't those three pieces of equipment have multiple equipment skills and effects? What are the benefits of full-body armor?"
Lao Wang looked at Lu Chen as if he were an idiot, "Think about it, just in terms of materials, an excellent full-body armor must of course go beyond separate parts. It takes three times more materials and effort to create something. How can it be done?" Will the effect be worse than splicing it together?”
"Young man, you have to understand that in space, everyone is not playing games. Everything is conserved. The actual functions and effects of things made with the same skills depend on the materials and core, not just the scattered parts on each piece of equipment. Skills, the advantage of full-body armor is that it is one piece, more coordinated, and often more protective."
Lu Chen thought thoughtfully after listening to Old Wang's words, "In terms of armor and defense, what kind of armor does the old gentleman recommend me to build?"
"Old man, I recommend you to get three."
To Lu Chen's surprise, Lao Wang did not recommend him to build full-body armor.
"Didn't it mean that the comprehensive protection of full-body armor would be better?"
Lu Chen was puzzled.
Lao Wang took a leisurely puff of dry cigarette, "Young man, what I just said is often. If it is a low-level explorer, if I build it casually, full-body armor is better. I don't bother. Do you want to do business? Of course I like it. It’s easy.”
He knocked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "But young man, you are in a special situation. To be honest, I am very optimistic about you, so I will work harder on you."
"That's really flattering. The old gentleman has something to say, but it doesn't matter."
Lu Chen was no novice, and there was no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world.
Lao Wang smiled and said, "Hey, kid, I do have something to tell you. I think if you have rare metals or other materials in the future, even if you don't plan to build new equipment, I will take action from my side." .”
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't answer, he continued: "The price is easy to say. I won't lower it than the market price. I just need some good materials for research."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Of course, I'm lazy and I don't have the heart to go to the trading market to bid."
Lao Wang seemed very satisfied, "The second thing is, I want you to take more care of my granddaughter if she is ranked behind you."
Lu Chen was a little confused, "Shouldn't the old gentleman's granddaughter be in the middle or lower ranks?"
He remembered that Lao Wang said last time that he would use Milan Star Gold to make a pendant for his granddaughter, but Milan Star Gold was only a sacred material.
Generally, only fifth-level explorers use sacred-level equipment.
"Hey, you have a good memory, but who said I only have one granddaughter?"
Lao Wang exhaled smoke and said, "You don't need to pay too much attention to this. Next time you come to collect equipment, I will let you see it and you will know. It is a small matter. After all, the probability of lining up together is not high."
Lu Chen nodded, "That's easy to say."
He just treats it as developing new customers. Anyway, he often signs contracts to cover people in the mission world.
Lao Wang smiled and said, "Old man, I will pay more attention. Maybe you will be surprised."
As he spoke, he pointed to another part on the drawing, "You also need a ring with specialized functions. I suggest you choose the one about meaning."
Lu Chen felt a little emotional. Sure enough, when a high-level strong person looked at a weak person, he could see all the information at a glance. His own training system and even the direction he was good at were all seen through by the opponent.
"The old gentleman is a professional. I listen to you, but I am a little confused. Can these two metals be used in various parts?"
Lu Chen originally just wanted to build some equipment suitable for Shia Vibranium and Clark Green Gold, but Lao Wang talked to him about full-body customization.
Lao Wang added some more shredded tobacco, "What are you thinking? Do you think this is a universal material? Old man, I think you have money, so I am going to give it to you. Of course, these two metals are not suitable for making all your equipment. If you insist, It’s just used as materials for certain parts, but you can pay with these two metals, and I have other materials here for you to use.”
"That's it, the old gentleman continued."
Lu Chen remembered Lai Yin's words that Lao Wang liked to use rare materials as payment.
"After talking about armor and rings, it's now time for the accessories above your neck. Similarly, for this part, you can choose necklaces, earrings, or even weirder ones, sunglasses, but only one type is effective. You can choose which one you want. ?”
Lao Wang asked.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "...a necklace."
Although these accessories can be hidden, he still feels that earrings and the like are too strange.
Lao Wang nodded, "Well, as for the necklace, since you have more melee routes, I will help you create a function that enhances your melee capabilities and damage multiplier. Do you think that's okay?"
At this time, Lu Chen admired this slovenly old man. He was definitely a professional custom-made craftsman, because he was stronger than himself and could understand what he needed.
"Of course, where are the rest of the shoes?"
Lu Chen asked expectantly.
"As for shoes, your current function is too fancy. If you are pursuing speed, I think it's better to be more simple. Your tactics probably won't change too much. The shuttle skill may seem flashy, but in fact it can be mastered. After mastering the laws of space, you can do it yourself. Old man, I suggest you pursue pure speed and add some resistance."
Lao Wang suggested, "Many explorers like to equip a bunch of skills. The active and passive ones are very fancy, but in fact they are of no use. The stronger they are, the simpler their fighting methods are, and they can produce endless changes from simplicity. I have always I believe that talented warriors don’t need too many fancy abilities at all.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen was like a student listening in class, nodding his head. He felt that Lao Wang was his close friend!
But he was also a little puzzled, "Then pursuing pure speed, is it possible to have high-ranking skills?"
In fact, he also wanted to buy simple and straightforward equipment, but most of what he could see on the market had one main core function of the equipment, and the others were always a little fancy.
Take the Duke of Killing for example. It is essentially a semi-armor, but it is not slippery in every aspect. It also loses its own charm. The Wild Hunting skill originally felt quite practical, but as he developed the Divine Forbidden, these biases were lost. Those with improved attributes may gradually be eliminated.
He has never seen a piece of equipment with four skills. If it is shoes, they are all related to agility and speed, because extreme often means rare.
"You haven't seen anything normal in the market. If so, what do we, the professional builders, need to do?"
Lao Wang knocked the ashes from his cigarette and took out a pair of boots of mythical quality to show to Lu Chen.
