MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1650 1650: The Bow!

"What's wrong? Is there something going on?"

Wang Yu stopped in his tracks and turned to ask in confusion.

Just a moment ago, Fearless was driving people away, and now he was saying not to log off?

"Of course there's something!"

Fearless replied, "Do you think the group of bastards just now didn't want to log off for no reason?"

"Why?"

Wang Yu was puzzled...

Fearless explained, "The game hasn't updated for a long time, and it just so happens to update now. Why do you think that is?"

"Is it because of the equipment crafting?" Wang Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, still confused, "It's just a hundred additional pieces of equipment. With so many players in the game, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Of course, a hundred pieces of equipment isn't worth making a fuss over." Fearless said, "But what if a hundred ancient-level pieces of equipment suddenly appeared within the span of two hours? Wouldn't that be worth making a fuss over?"

"That's..."

Wang Yu was speechless. Indeed, ancient-level equipment is so rare that even if Chopper crafted one a day, it would attract attention. Not to mention that now, a hundred pieces had been crafted in just over two hours…

When you're in the thick of it, you might not notice what's going on, but to those who are unaware, it clearly looks like the system has a bug.

Even if they know it's not a bug, players will still report the situation.

In a game, there are all kinds of people, and many are envious when they see others getting good equipment. Someone like Chopper, a crafting machine, would definitely disrupt the harmony of the game.

With the goal of making money and focusing on players' experiences, the game company doesn't care who is right or wrong; if the majority of players feel that something is unharmonious, the game company will promptly address it.

"What about those who haven't crafted equipment?" Wang Yu, being an upright person, was still concerned about others at this point.

"It's none of our business!" Fearless scoffed, "We only promised them a chance to craft equipment in exchange for mining area access. We never guaranteed that they would get ancient-level equipment. The contract has been signed, and whether they get good equipment depends entirely on their luck!"

At this point, Fearless added, "Speaking of which, didn't you say you had a blueprint?"

"Ah, right!" Hearing Fearless say this, Wang Yu quickly nodded, "I almost forgot until you reminded me!"

"I knew it!" Fearless sighed and pressed his forehead, "Hurry up and craft it while the game hasn't updated yet; otherwise, who knows what new restrictions might come after the update…"

"Yeah! That makes sense!"

Wang Yu was definitely not the type to ignore advice. Although no one knew exactly what the system would update, Fearless's words were certainly reasonable.

Given the system's tendencies, if they were to impose restrictions on crafting, it would likely reduce the success rate of crafting. Even if Chopper was a master blacksmith, in the game's world, individual skills are only supplementary; what the system says is final. If the system says your crafting fails, it doesn't matter how skilled you are.

The name "God-Slaying Magic-Breaking Bow" suggests it is a very powerful God-grade equipment. While Wang Yu's gauntlet can transform into various weapons, it lacked a bow. If he didn't craft it now, he might miss out on such a good opportunity after the update.

With this in mind, Wang Yu nodded and turned to walk into the forge.

The people from the Quan Zhen Sect, who loved to join in on the excitement, weren't in a hurry to log off since it was still early, and they followed Wang Yu into the forge.

"Brother Iron Bull!"

Seeing Wang Yu enter, Chopper, who was resting, wiped his sweat and greeted him, "Do you have any equipment? Do you want me to help you craft?"

"You should take a break!" Wang Yu waved his hand, "I can handle this equipment myself!"

In the game, there's no concept of stamina, but crafting equipment is an extremely physically demanding task. Especially for someone like Chopper, who specializes in high-level crafting, it consumes more energy than the average blacksmith's work, and after crafting a hundred pieces, Chopper was indeed exhausted.

Wang Yu, being a martial arts master, understood the human body as well as a medical expert.

If Chopper hadn't rested just now, he would still be in peak condition. But after that brief rest, his energy had already dropped to its lowest, making it difficult to produce exceptional items.

Moreover, as someone who practiced martial arts, Wang Yu had a competitive nature. Being a master-level blacksmith himself, he naturally preferred to craft his own equipment.

Chopper was also quite perceptive; knowing his current state, he didn't insist and quietly stepped aside.

Wang Yu took out the blueprint, spread it out on the workbench, and then the crafting interface appeared before him.

The crafting bar displayed the names and quantities of the required materials.

Dark Iron, Gold Essence, Magic Rune Steel...

Various precious and rare materials were tossed into the forge by Wang Yu, as if they were worthless.

Under the intense heat of the flames, all the materials melted into a pool of red-hot metal, with a large amount of black impurities being extracted.

The material purity required for the God-Slaying Magic-Breaking Bow was very high. The materials in Wang Yu's hands were worth millions of gold coins, filling an entire backpack, but after refining and melting away the impurities, the amount didn't seem much, even less than what had been produced when Chopper crafted the dagger earlier.

"Ding!"

After five minutes of melting a large amount of material, it finally completed.

Wang Yu pulled the mold from the workbench under the furnace, gently pulled the furnace handle, and carefully poured the red-hot metal liquid into the mold.

After another round of processing, the metal liquid gradually solidified, taking the shape of a bow.

Following the system's prompt, Wang Yu took out his crafting hammer and began to strike the bow's body.

Clang! Clang!

After a series of evenly timed and rhythmic strikes, the bow body of the God-Slaying Magic-Breaking Bow was finally completed.

At that moment, a giant bow, two meters long, made entirely of the rarest and most precious metal materials, was before him.

The bow body was completely black, with no flashy decorations except for four grooves, but its dark appearance gave an unparalleled sense of solidity and explosive power.

Wang Yu casually picked up the bow, and as soon as he held the heavy longbow, he felt an instant connection with it. After shaking it a couple of times, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a great bow! Perfectly balanced!"

"What are the attributes? Hurry and show us the attributes!"

The members of the Quan Zhen Sect urged Wang Yu to display the weapon's attributes.

"Attributes? Don't you see it's not even strung yet? This is just a semi-finished product!" Fearless raised his middle finger at the crowd.

"Not bad!"

Wang Yu nodded in response and pulled out something from his backpack that looked like a dark rope.
