Chapter 284: Entering the Military Base, Checking the Inventory List of the Military Treasury Items 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The third underground level was divided into two parts, one was a huge laboratory and the other a training ground.
The Mechanics that Zi Liyuan and his team brought with them were uniformly arranged in the mini-dimension Secret Realm-like individual production workshops on the second underground floor.
Shen Yurou began to give them technical guidance courses and taught them how to produce parts of the “Simplified Exoskeleton Armor,” which is a Level 20 silver hero gear.
That’s right, she directly broke down the gear into several parts, thus reducing the difficulty, and in the end, only assembly was needed to create a complete “Simplified Exoskeleton Armor.”
Of course, there were pros and cons, and the overall durability of the “Simplified Exoskeleton Armor” that came out this way was reduced by one tier.
The advantage was that each part had its own durability, and damaged parts could be replaced promptly.
Moreover, even if one was not a Mechanic, as long as they were somewhat familiar with the gear, it wasn’t a big problem to replace the damaged parts themselves.
This was also why Shen Yurou turned the “Exoskeleton Armor” into a series of gear. It was mainly provided for military soldiers to use, and as long as the main body wasn’t damaged, the remaining parts could be self-replaced.
When soldiers were on a mission, they could totally prepare easily damaged parts, store them in a Spatial Backpack for backup, and replace them promptly if unexpected damages occurred during the mission.
While Shen Yurou was instructing these Mechanic talents, Zi Liyuan naturally didn’t idle around and went straight with Liu Guozhong to the logistics warehouse of the military base.
They had agreed on another trade ten days ago. This time, in addition to taking over the arms company, checking the items in the military treasury and trading was also one of the main objectives for Lord Zi.
Upon arriving at the logistics warehouse and finding a recording device, Zi Liyuan sat down and started browsing the inventory of items stored in the military’s treasury.
There were quite a lot of items, and they were very disorganized. The quality varied from high to low, with the highest quality items reaching the red legendary quality and the lowest being green elite.
If the red legendary items were collected here because of their quality,
then the green elite items were collected in the treasury because they were too quirky.
Without a second thought, Li Yuan filled in the filter column to view items of the red legendary quality.
Then, the list before his eyes changed, and all the red legendary quality items were listed.
Looking at 1,949,1001 red legendary items, Lord Zi fell silent for a moment.
He felt a bit shocked, but after seeing that the vast majority were legendary quality materials, he was somewhat relieved.
He continued to refine his search in the filter bar, this time excluding materials and searching only for items, gear, and scrolls.
With this search, the number dramatically dropped to only 9527 red legendary items.
After sorting by category, the first page showed gear, totaling just 520 pieces.
Going from start to finish, scanning each one, it could be said that these gears all had some quirky attachments, no wonder they weren’t given to military powerhouses to use and were left to gather dust in the warehouse instead.
All 520 pieces of legendary gear had quirky attached skills, and some skills made Lord Zi’s eyes twitch.
Take, for example, a curse skill called “Spirit Control,” which sounded powerful, but actually linked the caster’s spirit with that of the cursed individual, thereby controlling the latter’s body.
It seemed very powerful, but this control was based on the body’s connection; that is, whatever action the caster took, the cursed individual would do the same.
If you relaxed control over the cursed individual, and they made a move, the same action would be reflected back on the caster’s body.
This damned curse was basically a shared suffering between the caster and the cursed.
The most troublesome part was the note the military had added to the description of this gear.
The note detailed the last use of the gear, where a caster had used the curse to control a spy. The spy didn’t say a word and chopped his own head off.
As a result, quite predictably, the caster twisted his own head off too, achieving a classic one-for-one exchange.
Because the military caster was a Level 100 Fourth Order powerhouse and the spy was just a small fry at Third Order Level 80.
This iconic one-for-one exchange thoroughly humiliated the military—they had figuratively ground their own face into the dirt again and again.
Huge loss!
So, this equipment was permanently sealed in the military treasury to collect dust.
Out of the 520 legendary equipments, not even one has a normal attached skill!
Although he coveted the basic attributes attached to these equipments, it was absolutely impossible for Lord Zi to use them. He didn’t want to be pitted to death by his own gear.
However, he did figure out that any red legendary equipment that could actually be used wouldn’t be left to gather dust in the military treasury, but would be sent immediately to the talents nurtured by the military, to fully unleash the power of the equipment.
This made Lord Zi, whose mood was initially bad due to being schemed by the military and Dragon Academy, feel slightly relieved.
After skipping the equipment page, the second category was scrolls.
The number wasn’t large, only 10 pieces!
At one glance, Lord Zi’s eyes suddenly widened to the point they almost popped out and fell to the ground.
And then he got extremely excited.
These 10 scrolls were just too incredible!
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, Thunder, Ice, Wind—10 kinds of elemental scrolls, 10 kinds of Grand Curses!
All one had to do was tear the scroll, and within 5 seconds, they could release a Grand Curse of the corresponding elemental attribute. Needless to say, the power was immense, annihilating Zi Liyuan as easily as playing a game, probably unable to survive two seconds before dying a definite death.
However, the military’s note at the end of the scroll stated that when used, it doesn’t differentiate between friend or foe, and the user would also be affected!
“Eh, is this what they call a mutual destruction Grand Curse? Could this be any more outrageous?”
He complained, but Lord Zi still looked at these 10 scrolls with great fervor.
Just as he was about to ask Liu Guozhong for an exchange, Liu Guozhong directly said to him:
“Major Zi, you can forget about getting your hands on these elemental Grand Curses.
They cause too much destruction, capable of directly annihilating a city with millions of residents.
That’s why the military will not allow these to be spread around.”
Liu Guozhong had no authority to dispose of these Grand Curse scrolls. Even if reported to General Huang, it still wouldn’t work, and it would only be possible to exchange them if the leader of the Great Xia Empire agreed.
He sighed deeply, counting it as missing out on such treasures, and Zi Liyuan then moved on to check the next category.
This time it was the item category, totaling 8,997 pieces, but these items had more detailed subcategories.
Attack items, defense items, supportive items, and miscellaneous items—four types of categories.
There were not many attack items, only 120 kinds, and the skills attached to these items were not strong either. Zi Liyuan glanced over them and completely looked down on them.
The number of defense items was equally small, only 155 kinds, and just like the attack items, the skills attached were also weak, with no attraction to Zi Liyuan whatsoever.
The number of supportive items was much higher, reaching a total of 508 pieces, but the skills attached to these items were all very lacking.
The best attached skill Zi Liyuan saw increased all attributes by 10% for a duration of 30 minutes, yet it came with a fatal negative effect: a permanent reduction of 1% of all attributes after each use!
Only a fool would use such equipment!
Thus, after looking through them once, Zi Liyuan had no desire to exchange and could only turn to the last category of miscellaneous items.
This category had the most numerous items, reaching a whopping 8,214 pieces.
“This is going to be quite a big project to look through.”
Over eight thousand miscellaneous items, reviewing them all one by one would take quite some time, but in order to find what he wanted, Lord Zi could only bear with it and check carefully, aiming not to miss out on the good stuff.
