Chapter 523: Spoils of war
Xiao Min placed the spoils of war to the side. She saw the cold captain standing there silently, and she could only tell him about the situation on behalf of Xia Bai.
“This is the carpet that we couldn’t handle. It should be the most valuable thing, but it seems different from what we thought.”
The carpet had turned into a basin-sized thing. Ye Zhongming took it and used the glory Smith's skill to capture some information.
“Addock Flying Carpet!”
“Ability 1, mental conduit, reduce all mental energy skills by 90%.”
“Ability 2, indestructible. Increase durability by 300%.”
Ye Zhongming looked at these stats and had a rough understanding of the equipment that gave the Ying City army a headache.
Although it didn’t indicate the durability, it should be a terrifying number. Moreover, because of the second ability, that durability increased by three times. Along with the first ability, this was why the carpet could last for so long under the attacks of the ranged forces.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe third ability also explained why that team would stick so closely together. It could increase the durability.
But the carpet didn’t give off a glow, which meant a problem. This was either special equipment that exceeded normal evaluation standards or was above gold and could hide its glow.
Ye Zhongming looked at it and found that it was the first type.
It was an equipment that couldn’t be repaired!
He thought he had picked up a treasure but didn’t expect it to be such a situation. No wonder Xiao Min said that it was not expected. This carpet had already started to crack.
No wonder its durability was high, and it had three good abilities. This was a piece of unrepairable equipment!
This was awkward. He thought he had a treasure but was now on the verge of destruction. Just by its looks, one knew it didn’t have much durability.
Ye Zhongming thought about it and took out the Treasure Nurturing Gourd. He wanted to see if he could repair it there as it didn’t have a level.
But he was disappointed. As it was a special piece of equipment, the repair ability of the gourd didn’t react.
Ye Zhongming tested swallowing treasure. He didn’t have much hope but was notified that he could swallow it.
Anyway, the durability was close to zero, so he agreed.
The ability filled the gourd with energy. Be it repair or treasure nurturing, it needed energy. The gourd’s upgrade needed energy, too. One of Cloud Peak’s industries was purchasing damaged equipment cheaply to provide this energy for the gourd.
The difference from the Gate of Sacrifice was that one would only know how much energy it had when one used its three abilities. After consuming this carpet, Ye Zhongming saw it was close to the next upgrade.
After he used the upgrade scroll to raise it to green, Ye Zhongming had been paying close attention to the amount of energy amassed. Apart from repairing some equipment and nurturing some defensive gear, he hadn’t used it. He wanted to upgrade it quickly. After all, the higher its level, the more useful it would be.
Looking at the current situation, it could get to blue grade soon. That would make up for his regret for not being able to use the carpet.
“The remaining guns and bullet cases are special.”
Ye Zhongming flipped through the equipment, and that carpet disappeared. Xiao Min wasn’t surprised. She was filled with respect and worship for this young boss.
“The gun levels aren’t high, and we only saw white gear in the gunners’ hands. The rest are grey. But the bullet cases are special and similar to your space equipment.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYe Zhongming was shocked. Space equipment was one of the rarest equipment in the apocalypse. He had revived for a year and only got one proper space equipment: the crystal. The Blood Stepping Boots and Material Bag were not fully space equipment.
If it was, as Xiao Min said, that these cases had their own space, this meant that someone from the mysterious faction could craft such equipment.
This was a terrifying thing.
Ying City Alliance army brought enough resources to assist Cloud Port. They even debated about it when they negotiated with them. Without resources, a strong army would be useless. This was the same as peacetime wars.
But if someone grasped the ability to craft space equipment, that was terrifying. It could only them to fight for long periods. They could rely on this point to drag the enemy down.
Ye Zhongming anxiously grabbed a few gun cases and studied them. He used many glory smith skills on them, and a few seconds later, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was a smith who grasped the blueprint for the case.
“Lazy man case” was the name of the bullet case. Although it was grey, it could fit 300 rifle bullets. Each team had 10 of them, meaning they had 3,000 bullets. This number wasn’t much for an ideal battle, but it could last very long for a focused battle where they conserved bullets.
Ye Zhongming estimated that there were thousands of these cases, and 2,000 could be used. These were good items. Ye Zhongming kept 1500 and left 500 for the other factions. The bullets in them were a gift.
No one was unhappy. Cloud Peak was the one who wiped that team out, so it was very good that they could get anything. Moreover, Cloud Peak only kept half of their guns and gave the rest to the other factions.
The gourd absorbed the remaining damaged equipment and was a step away from upgrading it.
Ye Zhongming looked into the distance, and survivors started fighting the ocean beasts. That slowed their speed in trapping the city. He called people over and told them to hand him the materials that Cloud Peak had collected along the way.
He was going to make some trump cards to aid in the defense.
