Chapter 52: Epic Grade? Burn Without Error

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“An Ice Blade Crossbow? The forging technique of this equipment seems a little clumsy. Burn it.”

After muttering to himself, Wu Mo immediately threw the crossbow into his furnace. The light blue crossbow was instantly devoured by the flames, turning into molten iron and mottled liquid.

Wu Mo’s action caused everyone present to drop their jaws in shock.

The blacksmiths behind Wei Ying widened their mouths as they looked at Wu Mo.

“F*ck, someone previously offered ¥600,000 for this crossbow. He burned ¥600,000 into molten iron just like that!”

“F*ck, has this person gone crazy? The equipment is so expensive because forging takes a lot of hard work on the blacksmiths’ part. Burning it into molten iron is simply killing the goose that lays the golden egg!”

“Does he even know what’s good for him? This is a piece of Rare-grade equipment. Only a three-star blacksmith or above can forge it. Moreover, it takes a few days to forge it. To burn it just like that is wasting God’s gift!”

The blacksmiths could not sit still any longer. They clenched their fists and began to criticize Wu Mo’s actions with furious expressions.

At that moment, Gao Yue, who was standing by the door, reacted and disdainfully said, “The equipment belongs to Treasure Pavilion now. Whether we burn them or throw them away, it has nothing to do with you. Understand?”

“What a bunch of useless people. How dare you criticize Treasure Pavilion’s distinguished guest? If you dare to speak rudely again, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Gao Yue crossed his arms and said coldly.

His imposing manner made the few blacksmiths shrink their necks and shut their mouths obediently.

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help Mr. Wu pour all the equipment into the furnace!”

Right then, the tenth elder finally understood the meaning behind Wu Mo’s actions, and the worried expression on his face immediately turned into excitement.

As an elder of Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters, he naturally deciphered what Wu Mo was trying to do. He could not help but be impressed by Wu Mo’s quick thinking.

It only took Wu Mo a very small amount of resources to make the enemy suffer so much that they wished they were dead. It was an extremely brilliant method. Even he would not have been able to come up with such a plan in a short time.

When the servants heard the tenth elder’s order, they no longer felt conflicted. They promptly picked up a pile of colorful equipment and threw it into the cauldron.

In less than half a minute, more than forty pieces of equipment were melted into molten iron. The blacksmiths’ faces became twisted in response to such a bold and wasteful act, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

After all, the equipment was the result of their combined hard work over the past year. The equipment that was worth collecting was buried in a sea of fire so easily.

It made their chests hurt and their faces turn white.

“B*stard, stop! Don’t burn the equipment that we worked so hard to produce!”

Even with Gao Yue’s imposing manner, the blacksmiths still struggled and shouted. Their faces were pale, and their facial features were distorted. It was as if an actual person was burning in the furnace, not the equipment that they had refined.

However, the tenth elder’s subordinates did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Instead, they quickened their pace.

They continued to throw the gorgeous equipment into the sea of fire one by one, turning them into molten iron and all kinds of unknown raw materials.

Such behavior was equivalent to taking apart a television with the circuit board still inside. It was completely incomprehensible to them.

To protect the equipment that they had refined, a few blacksmiths started to kneel on the ground and beg.

“God d*mn it, don’t! It wasn’t easy for me to refine that Phoenix Feather Sword!”

“Bastard, that’s Premium-grade equipment! I bought it for ¥2,000,000!”

The cries and curses outside the door were incessant, so much so that the receptionists who had been chased out became furious.

Wu Mo was vaporizing their hard work, which had fused with all of the Rare and even Premium-grade equipment.

Furthermore, there were many types of equipment provided by the military. They had yet to find time to refine them. If they burned them just like that, they would not be able to work on the military’s orders in the future.

Wu Mo was standing under the cauldron. He slowly controlled the fire outlet and the temperature of every part of his furnace to an average level.

He completely ignored the shouts that came from outside.

“Sigh, this equipment looks pretty good.”

He had just adjusted the specific temperature and was about to rest for a while when a purple ray of light entered his eyes as he lowered his head. Wu Mo focused his eyes and saw a piece of Epic-grade equipment beside him that was ready to be burned.

It was a pair of boots with shiny fur. There were many obscure patterns on the upper part of the boots, which emanated constant light.

Wu Mo gently touched the surface of the boots and immediately discovered that there was a chill seeping out from the inside. There seemed to be an extremely large amount of energy in the boots.

Moreover, there were white gemstones inlaid on the left and right sides of the upper part of the boots. A magic circle appeared to be attached to the inside of the boots too. It was obvious that it was finely crafted.

Wu Mo’s interest was piqued. He lifted the boot and muttered to himself, “System, help me appraise this shoe. What stats do these boots have?”

As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, a familiar robotic voice rang out in his mind.

[Equipment appraisal completed. The information is as follows:

[Type of Equipment: Footwear

[Equipment Name: Blood Soul Boots

[Equipment Grade: Epic

[System Score: 57

[Equipment Effect: (1) Blood Soul Formation. It absorbs a portion of the spirit energy within a ten-meter radius and breaks through the user’s limit to increase strength. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 7 days.

(2) Refraction. There is a 15% chance of deflecting an attack. Successful deflection will cancel out a large amount of damage.

(3) Night Walk. It increases a portion of the user’s movement speed.

[Estimated value: ¥6,500,000

[Additional Description: This equipment has been cast with an intermediate binding spell. Forcefully unbinding it may damage the equipment’s effect.]

A semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him. When Wu Mo saw the equipment’s statistics and effects clearly, he gasped in surprise, breathing in the cold air.

He did not expect this seemingly ordinary pair of boots to have such terrifying effects.

Moreover, every single one of them was extremely practical, and the boots did not have a gaudy design.

The system gave them an even higher score than the Mercury Cloak that he had created. From this, he could see how incredibly valuable the boots were.

He did not know how the people from Unique Treasure Hall had obtained them.

Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. However, Wei Ying, who was standing outside the door, noticed that Wu Mo had picked up the boots, and his heart instantly stopped beating for half a second.

He stared at Wu Mo with a hideous expression, and the corners of his eyes unwittingly twitched. He was afraid that Wu Mo would throw them into the furnace. But on second thought, as a four-star blacksmith, Wu should know the actual value of that pair of boots.
