MMORPG; The Ring of the Almighty

Chapter 15: the 3-sided advantage of "cheating"

Jiang Fei was bored…

After leaving the girls of Rosette Knighthood to the equipment in the guild warehouse, strangely her hands were left empty. There is absolutely no work to be done! A limit of 50 daily gold coins was spent; even if he tried to find more work, there would be no work for him. With nothing else to do, Jiang Fei started window shopping around the city, looking for unique Recipes.

All the Recipes the NPCs sold were all White level, which was mainly used to raise the level of Craft skills. Making money through them will be out of the question. Even with Jiang Fei's extremely high Luck, he could only obtain beans. This was why his current priority was to obtain a rare Recipe.

…

Jiang Fei casually raised the Dawnlight City Ranking Board. The one leading was a Level 17 player. It was as expected, as the game was still developing. Even the strongest guilds had an average level of 15. Reaching that Level so quickly was no easy task. That average level meant that most of the mini bosses around the area had tasted their swords. The Boss of Easter Egg might drop a single piece of Green-level equipment, but a Leader-level boss and a hidden treasure chest might actually produce a rare Profession Recipe.

“Ding!” Sounds like one of those classic phones.

Jiang Fei looked down and realized that all of the White level equipment in the red slot were all gone. The sign has made a full circle — the ends have met.

“Hoho. Level up! What surprises have you prepared for me?” jiang Fei said with a smile, as he opened the window of the ring property.

Luck +20

All Green Level Equipment created would be given a skill at random!

One level has made a big difference to the ring. Not only was the Fortune bonus now at 20, there was an additional skill that almost made Jiang Fei's eyes fly out of its sockets.

All Green level equipment will have one additional attribute, and that attribute is usually a common attribute like Strength, Agility, or Defense. Some attributes are better than others, such as Accuracy, Evade, and Block. On the other hand, direct passive skills provide a much greater advantage. And most importantly, having equipment that provides active skills was the highest improvement. In the early stages of the game, having one or two additional active skills is indeed amazing, as the standard skills given by their class are not excited.

In addition, despite having a relatively longer cooldown, the active skills of the equipment are free of cost. That would exponentially increase one's damage output.

“I should get some rare Recipes!” Jiang Fei decided. White level equipment sometimes comes in Green level, but the success rate is low. With such an incredible "cheat" tool on his finger, why even aim for the value of White, when you can make a Green level equipment even stronger!

…

Unfortunately, after spending all day scouring the entire city in search of the top-class Recipes that players sold for sale, he failed. It was expected, but did nothing to ease the disappointment as Recipes could only be found in rare hidden treasure chests or Leader-level bosses dropped. At the current stage of the game, none of these Leaders felt defeat. Even if someone managed to plant it, their guild would never allow them to sell it!

“APA!?” jiang Fei exclaimed when he finally saw one of the Recipes.

Recipe: Chest Protector Corsair (Recipes, good)

Requirements: Blacksmith Beginner Level 1?

“My good brother! How many recipes is this?” said Jiang Fei, rushing to the Bandits behind the counter.

“This? 100 gold coins. No more, no less!" The bandit answered in an instant.

“Deal! Uh, give me a minute.” Jiang Fei accepted the offer and left.

The recipe was expensive, it might cost higher than its true value, but it was worth every coin Jiang Fei was willing to pay. The drop rate is too low, to begin with. But to raise that much money would take at least a week! He might already be Level 20 by then! However, Jiang Fei had an idea. He remembered counting the number of gold coins in the public guild storage! They had at least 400 to 500 gold coins hidden!

“Guildmaster! Are you busy?”

Jiang Fei sent a written message to Rosette Rose. At that time, he was broke and had spent his daily limit of 50 gold coins. He could only earn more money through Guildmasters.

“What's up?” Rosette Rose replied after a while. He was busy killing monsters with his sister group.

“I need some gold coins.”

“How much?”

"…200 .. gold coins," Jiang Fei hesitated. If he only asked for 100 gold coins, he would not be enough to buy materials! Green-level equipment materials will not be cheap!

“That's much? For what?”

Rose thought Jiang Fei wanted 10 or 20 more gold coins. That's just fine. However, when Jiang Fei asked for 200 gold coins, he had to raise an eyebrow. That amount was almost half of what the entire guild had! Although he had spent his own money to buy in-game currency, he could feel the sting! Plus, this game just hit! The ratio of gold to the dollar will be very high!

“I need it for a rare Recipe! It's emergency! I can't miss it! If I get it, I might make a bigger surprise for you guys!”

“OK! I'll wait at the East gate. Please tell Miaomiao to fast!” jiang Fei said.

“Kakak...Are you getting Recipes from treasure chests?” ask Jiang Fei. While waiting for Miaomiao to come, Jiang Fei tried to start a conversation with the Bandits.

“Haha. You want to try it?” said the Bandit. His tone of voice indicated that he had been offended.

“Ah! No. gabe. There's nothing like it. I'm just a Craftsman. Going to the field is tantamount to suicide,” Jiang Fei said. Jiang Fei concluded that Bandits were single adventurers. Only solo players would sell the Recipes for money.

“So? Will you buy it or not?” said the Bandit. He's getting impatient.

“Please wait. I was waiting for someone to send me some coins. ” Jiang Fei hurriedly explained. What if the Bandit suddenly got up and left?

“Brother! I'm here!" miaomiao shouted, running towards Jiang Fei.

“Did you bring the money?!” Jiang Fei asked, barely able to keep his voice level.

“This!” Rosette Miaomiao sent her gold.

“Good. I have money. Brother Bandit. Let's trade.”

Jiang Fei then sent a trade invitation to the Bandits.

“Good. I've got the money, you've got the Recipe. It's a deal that's done, and I have to get back to work.”

The bandit immediately turned around and left.

“Brother!” yelled Jiang Fei. "Let's befriend. I'll buy all the rare Recipes you find in the future!”

“Gale Moonwalker,” said the Bandit without turning to face Jiang Fei.

“I understand. Thank you!" Jiang Fei sent a request for Friendship. The bandits received it before disappearing into the crowd.

Satisfied with his transaction, Jiang Fei smiled. When he turned to face Miaomiao, he sulked.

“What a bitch,” said.

“Haha!” Jiang Fei did not care about his comments. He is a big winner in life here!

“Brother! What will we do next?” said the little girl.

“Hah? Didn't you just train with the other sisters?”

“Hei! You just took 200 gold coins! I'll watch you!" miaomiao said as she crossed her arms and put on a haughty face.

“Did the Guildmaster tell you to do this?” Jiang Fei was worried. Has he lost credibility in their eyes?

“No. Sister Rose just asked me to give you the money. That's all!" miaomiao said with a wide grin.

Jiang Fei quickly turned his back on Miaomiao. He blushed crazy.

“Gogogogogo—go and disturb others! I-I-I-I'm busy!” Jiang Fei stuttered.

She was glad Rosette Rose trusted her so much.

“Fuck Nayyy~~~ I'm coming with you! Bite me!" Miaomiao stuck to Jiang Fei's arm.

“*sigh*Good! Do what you want!”

Jiang Fei shook his head. He immediately used his Recipe and studied the art of Forging!
