Chapter 888: Equipment customization(1/2)
"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 jewelry. I won't tell you the detailed properties of these two metals, because you won't understand them."
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 one 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 examined Lu Chen, and it was obvious that he was using investigative skills, but Lu Chen didn't even feel like he was being investigated.
Lu Chen didn't mind others snooping 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 all your equipment increases your attributes, you will find that the increase rate after the divine ban 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 equipment's attribute bonuses are all arranged, and long-term means that 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, "Are you reckless?"
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, okay. Apart from your bloodline, I can't tell you much 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 examined Lu Chen, "Your family's wholesale inheritance crystallization? Is your combat proficiency so high?"
"Isn't this something you can improve with more combat practice?"
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 keep this ring forever.
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 master before, so he didn't know there were such tricks with equipment.
The function of the God Eater's ring is very comfortable to use in the land abandoned by the gods, but not all creatures have divinity, and it is indeed very limited.
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 later. 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."
"Old sir, please tell me."
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 has subconsciously felt that using equipment to increase attributes is not a long-term solution after all, and he doesn't really want to buy equipment with mediocre functionality.
"You should be pretty good at playing around. 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's talk about the maximum number of pieces of equipment an explorer can wear. You should know this, right?"
Lu Chen thought about it in his mind and couldn't think of a number for a while.
Lao Wang's eyes were strange, "Boy, how are you doing 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 patiently explained, "Outerwear is a general concept. It can be what you wear, or it can be pants, but it is generally uniform and can only be effective for 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."
"Got it!"
When Lu Chen heard the last sentence, he suddenly became enlightened.
"The leg armor, chest armor, and arm armor are not necessarily three pieces. If you wear a 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 integrated, more coordinated, and often more protective."
Lu Chen thought thoughtfully after listening to Lao Wang's words, "In terms of armor and defense, what kind of armor do you recommend me to build?"
"Old man, I recommend you to get three."
What surprised Lu Chen was that 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, the full-body armor will be better. I won'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 is not a novice. There is no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world.
Lao Wang smiled, "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, "There is also a second thing. 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 have a surprise."
As he said that, 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.
