11: The first of the million treasures

【Blazing Sky Craftsman Lv1】

Quality: Mythical

Skill 【Skyfire Lv1】: Communicates with Skyfire to smelt materials. Currently, it can smelt purple materials at most.

Skill 【Forging Lv1】: The base success rate for forging equipment is 30% (Normal Blacksmith profession is 5%).

Description: An advanced auxiliary profession skilled at communicating with the Skyfire to forge equipment. Continuously forging equipment can increase professional proficiency, upgrade skills, and unlock more attributes.

“It’s alright.”

Regarding the Blazing Sky Craftsman’s attributes, Li Si could only say “it’s alright” because it didn’t increase combat ability.

Although it was a very powerful auxiliary profession, for a professional player, combat power was always the most important thing.

“Let’s see after upgrading.”

“Perhaps there will be combat attributes after upgrading.”

Li Si thought to himself.

After all, it was a Mythical quality auxiliary profession, so he couldn't just ignore it. Moreover, there was Wang Shi Dao.

He was definitely a Lawless Outlaw.

“Teacher, today I have become your disciple. Is there a welcoming gift for a new disciple?” Li Si brazenly asked for it.

Wang Shi Dao, upon hearing this, was not angry but pleased, sighing that Li Si was straightforward and had no ulterior motives, which was more in line with the requirements of a blacksmith: “Of course there is a welcoming gift. I have an ancient scroll that I can give to you. Within three days, if you promote Blazing Sky Craftsman to Lv2, I will have something else to give you.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Li Si took the ancient scroll, sighing that this teacher was not taken for naught; it was truly one surprise after another.

The first reward hadn’t even arrived yet, and the second reward was already on its way.

【Seven Stars Mausoleum】

Type: Map

Effect: Arriving at the designated location can open the entrance to the Seven Stars Mausoleum. Within the Seven Stars Mausoleum, the secret of the seven stars treasure lotus is hidden.

Description: The first of Mingyue Village’s top ten treasures, and the first of the one million treasures across one hundred thousand Novice Villages. Recommended entry level is Lv30.

Warning: If the player dies, the treasure map will definitely drop.

“Ah… a treasure map?”

The top ten treasures were already in his hands? Li Si was overjoyed, marveling that it was too simple; just by forging a piece of ore, he had gained several opportunities?

Moreover, the Seven Stars Mausoleum was also the first of the million treasures.

If other players knew this, they would probably think he was cheating, just like Jiangshan Meiren?

At this moment, Li Si felt his luck was overly heaven-defying.

However, the difficulty of the Seven Stars Mausoleum seemed very high.

Recommended level Lv30.

Entering with Li Si's current attributes would likely not end well.

But Li Si wasn't worried, because he had the Limiter. He just needed to accumulate attributes, and he would eventually be able to push through.

【Ding!】

【Detected that you have obtained a Novice Village’s Top Ten Treasure. A regional announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your ID?】

“Hide ID.”

This choice was not difficult; of course, he had to hide his ID.

Not hiding his ID meant waiting for others to come and snatch it, right?

Li Si could distinguish between what was important and what was not.

【Ding!】

【Mingyue Village Announcement: Congratulations to player xxxx for obtaining the Seven Stars Mausoleum, one of the Top Ten Treasures, and activating the Treasure Ranking.】

【Mingyue Village Announcement: Congratulations to player xxxx for obtaining the Seven Stars Mausoleum, one of the Top Ten Treasures, and activating the Treasure Ranking.】

【Mingyue Village Announcement: Congratulations to player xxxx for obtaining the Seven Stars Mausoleum, one of the Top Ten Treasures, and activating the Treasure Ranking.】

The sound of the regional announcement echoed throughout Mingyue Village.

【Mingyue Village’s Top Ten Treasures】

First Place: Seven Stars Mausoleum, Owner – xxxx.

Second Place: Not yet revealed.

Third Place: Not yet revealed.

......

At this moment, the Treasure Ranking unfolded before his eyes, and all the players in the village instantly boiled over.

Unfortunately.

Li Si's attitude towards this announcement was indifferent.

No announcement reward.

Wasn't it just a trick?

“Let’s see what other players are saying.”

Li Si opened Mingyue Village’s chat channel, looking for useful information, especially clues about other treasures.

“It appeared!”

“Seven Stars Mausoleum, it sounds very impressive.”

“Whoever obtained the treasure, I am willing to pay 100,000 RMB to buy it.”

“100,000 RMB? Heh heh.”

“Brother, honestly, you’re a bit petty.”

“Fengyun Heavy Cavalry, the hall master of the Wind and Cloud Guild, has long since set a price, willing to purchase the Top Ten Treasures for a million RMB.”

【Qian Duoduo - Lv10】: “What’s a million? I’m willing to pay 2 million!”

“Holy crap, Qian Duoduo, the first player to reach Lv10, he’s a true tycoon!”

“Greetings, Qian Duoduo, Lawless Outlaw.”

“Worship the tycoon.”

【Heavenly Sword Technique - Lv5】: “Qian Duoduo, Lawless Outlaw, do you have the contact information for Kuangtu, Lawless Outlaw? Please, I need to contact him. I have information about a Top Ten Treasure.”

【Qian Duoduo - Lv10】: “What the heck? Is that true or fake? You have information about a treasure?”

“I don’t believe it.”

“If you want to trick someone for Kuangtu, Lawless Outlaw’s friend slot, just say so. Why be so secretive?”

“Lv5, that’s just the average level.”

“If you have information about a treasure, I’ll eat my words.”

【Heavenly Sword Technique - Lv5】: “What I said is true, I really have information about a treasure. The quest is too difficult, I can’t complete it, I need Kuangtu, Lawless Outlaw’s help.”

“I don’t believe it either.”

“Does anyone believe this? I have information about a treasure, hey, I’m not hiding it, I just want to tell everyone.”

“I can tell it’s fake at a glance.”

【Qian Duoduo - Lv10】: “Holy cow, that’s insidious! I almost got tricked by this kid. Never mind me, Kuangtu, Lawless Outlaw’s friend slot is of utmost importance.”

“……”

The chat channel was buzzing.

“Heavenly Sword Technique, huh?”

Li Si felt that Heavenly Sword Technique didn’t seem to be lying.

So, he clicked on Heavenly Sword Technique’s avatar in the chat channel and sent a friend request.

【Ding!】

【Player – Heavenly Sword Technique has accepted your friend request.】

【You can now private message player - Heavenly Sword Technique.】

Heavenly Sword Technique: “God, you actually saw my message.”

“You have information about a treasure?” Time was limited, Li Si didn’t want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

He needed to level up Blazing Sky Craftsman to Lv2, figure out a profession, and accumulate attributes to push through the Seven Stars Mausoleum.

One thing after another.

He probably wouldn’t be able to finish it all even if he pulled an all-nighter.

“Yes! I received a treasure quest that requires me to enter a hidden area and defeat all the monsters within. The monsters in the hidden area are too strong; I can’t even defeat the small monsters guarding the entrance.” Heavenly Sword Technique’s message popped up.

“I can help you, what can you give me?”

“The treasure. I’m willing to give you half of the treasure’s gains.”

“What if there’s only one item in the treasure?”

After a long silence, Li Si guessed Heavenly Sword Technique was hesitating.

About half a minute later, Heavenly Sword Technique’s message popped up.

“If there’s only one item in the treasure, it’s yours.”

“Deal, come find me at the blacksmith’s shop.”

Closing the chat window, Li Si turned to Wang Shi Dao: “Teacher, I want to forge a set of Lv1 defensive equipment. Do you have the corresponding blueprints?”

“Of course.”

Wang Shi Dao nodded, then threw out a set of blueprints, pointing around: “You can use all the materials in this forging room as you wish.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Li Si bowed respectfully, then picked up the blueprints…

【Ding!】

【Congratulations! You have learned the Forging Blueprint – Breeze Robe Lv1 (Blue).】

【Congratulations! You have learned the Forging Blueprint – Breeze Pants Lv1 (Blue).】

【Congratulations! You have learned the Forging Blueprint – Breeze Boots Lv1 (Blue).】

All three defensive equipment blueprints were blue quality.

Li Si couldn’t help but marvel again; Wang Shi Dao was truly a good teacher.

Afterward, Li Si checked the forging blueprints and found that all the required materials were available in the forging room, saving him a lot of trouble.

Skyfire blazed brightly.

Melting various materials.

Li Si picked up the forging hammer and began to forge the equipment.

【Ding!】

【This forging’s base success rate is 30%.】

【3 points of luck additionally increase success rate by 3%.】

【This forging’s final success rate is 33%.】

Time flowed, and various materials gradually condensed under Li Si’s control, slowly forming the equipment’s rough shape. Just as it was about to succeed, there was a crisp crack, and the equipment’s rough shape broke.

【Ding!】

【This forging failed.】

【Proficiency increased.】

“No problem.”

A 33% success rate wasn’t high; forging failure was very normal.

Li Si didn’t get discouraged and started a new forging attempt.

【Ding!】

【Heaven Rewards Diligence. Failure is the mother of success. Persistence is the path to success.】

【Comprehension permanently +2.】

“… pl.”

The Limiter triggered, sweeping away all gloom. Li Si, filled with anticipation, began his second forging attempt.

【Ding!】

【This forging failed.】

【This forging succeeded.】

【This forging failed.】

......

Add to bookshelf, Dads, I prostrate myself.
