Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? Chapter 199 - Damaged Epic-grade Equipment

Chapter 199: Damaged Epic-grade Equipment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Instead of spending money on the limited use of the graphite powder, they might as well bet on the last treasure.

After all, it was an auction house opened by Treasure Trove Pavilion, so Legendary-grade equipment or rare materials would definitely be available.

Giving up now was a better choice for them.

In addition, the members of the three blacksmith families kept each other in check. If the graphite powder fell into the hands of one of the families, the others would definitely not be happy to see this happen.

Right then, the three families had strangely fallen silent.

No one else made a bid until the end of the five-minute auction.

As a result, the 100 grams of graphite powder was eventually placed in Wu Mo’s bag.

When Wu Mo saw the maid in the cheongsam walk toward him, he immediately took out his bank card and swiped it in front of the other audience members.

Everyone exchanged looks and grew more curious about the young man’s ident.i.ty. There were not many famous families in the capital, and he had to be one of them for him to be so generous.

Soon, the bidding for the graphite powder’s 41st round of bidding ended.

Two maidservants quickly entered through the entrances on both sides of the stage with the following exhibits.

The crowd could only look away from Wu Mo to see what treasure would appear on the next stage.

After all, there were only eight exhibits left until the end of the auction, and each of them would only be rarer and more expensive.

Wu Mo snapped his fingers lightly and stored the graphite powder in his Interspatial Ring.

Then, he touched his nose and looked at the display stand calmly.

To be honest, he was still a little satisfied because ¥4,600,000 was the limit he could accept.

If he spent more, he might not get permission to ask for military expenses from Academician Xu.

It did not make sense for a portion of graphite powder to cost ¥4,000,000 to ¥5,000,000.

There was half an hour left until the end of the auction.

Since it was still early, he planned to leave after he saw the final item.

He still wanted to visit the Blacksmith Guild later to change his four-star blacksmith robe and certificate.

In the blink of an eye, more than 10 minutes had pa.s.sed.

At present, the bidding had already reached the 46th round.

Before that, there had been several precious materials and equipment.

Wu Mo had spent hundreds of points to appraise them, and it was a sight to behold.

Some of the Epic equipment had an undeserved reputation, while others lived up to their names. Even he felt that the effects of the equipment were novel.

Most of the materials were also natural treasures.

The corpses of the invading races would mostly be used by officials on the battlefield. Only a small portion would end up in the city.

The Silver Cat that had appeared earlier was the only material from the Ten Thousand Races in the entire auction.

“The 46th item is a pair of Amethyst Boots. They can provide the wearer with sufficient defense and speed. They are customized, and Treasure Trove Pavilion has already carried out a comprehensive appraisal of the boots. Although they are somewhat damaged, they are still genuine Epic-grade equipment. It might be possible to upgrade them to Legendary grade if they’re repaired.”

Elder Yao Shan took out the purple boots from the box, and the next moment, they released a burst of rich purple light, almost forming a visible light wave.

It spread to the huge auction hall, andthe eyes of all the blacksmiths in the auction house lit up.

It was impossible for ordinary Epic equipment to have such a rich light. This occurrence was likely a result of severe damage, which caused a large amount of energy to be consumed.

“Haha, seeing everyone’s antic.i.p.ation, I’m sure you understand the uniqueness of this equipment. I won’t waste any more of your time. The starting price for these Amethyst Boots is ¥5,100,000!

Elder Yao Shan’s expression changed slightly when he saw most of the people in the audience.

Even Qin Yue, the Qin family’s peak six-star blacksmith, was roused.

He did not waste any more time and bid on the equipment straight away.

Before his bid could echo in the auction hall, another representative of the blacksmith families immediately said, “Six million!”

Once he opened his mouth, he raised the conditions for obtaining the Amethyst Boots. The higher-level cultivators could still compete over the original price which was a little over ¥5,000,000 if they gritted their teeth.

However, the second the blacksmith family representative opened his mouth, he eliminated them.

The sullen feeling that filled them made the cultivators curse instantly.

Wu Mo, who was sitting in the second row, stared at the Amethyst Boots with bright eyes. He wanted to see where the shoes were damaged.

Perhaps it was because Treasure Trove Pavilion had repaired the surface of the Amethyst Boots, but he could not spot anything even after a long time.

“Forget it, I’ll just let the system identify the damage.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Mo muttered in his heart.

[Ding! Equipment appraisal completed. One hundred points have been consumed. Its attributes are as follows…]

The next second, the system responded, and all data on the Amethyst Boots appeared before him.

[Equipment Type: Shoes

[Equipment Name: Amethyst Boots (damaged)

[Equipment Grade: Epic

[System Score: 74 points

[Equipment Effect: 1. Purple Breath (Continuously condenses purple spirit energy and offsets power when damage is received. Once purple spirit energy is condensed to 100%, it can resist a full-force attack from a peak six-star cultivator; 10% is condensed every hour.)

[2. Shadowstrike (After activation, the user’s movement speed will increase by 80%. The increase in speed will decrease with time, and the effect can last for a maximum of 10 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours.)

[3. Ruthless (all buff effects on enemies within 10 meters will be reduced by 20%, and the duration will be shortened by 30%.)

[4. Seal Origin (Shoots a wave to seal all the effects on the equipment it comes into contact with. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 days. Note: Unable to seal artifacts. Due to a lack of energy, this effect cannot be activated.

[Array Effect: Tier 2 Profound Spirit Formation (It can sense the position of spirit energy fluctuations within a 200-meter radius.)

[Equipment Evaluation: This is actually a severely damaged piece of Legendary equipment. Do not attempt to repair it before you reach seven stars. Otherwise, the possibility of it being sc.r.a.pped is great.]

Seeing the information and comments given by the system, Wu Mo became a little restless.

The equipment effects attached to this pair of boots were outstanding.

Whether it was the ability to suppress the enemy’s buffs or the speed and defense provided by the equipment, none of them were effects that ordinary Epic equipment could provide.

If he could buy it for less than ¥7,000,000, it would definitely be worth it.

Unfortunately, the surrounding blacksmith families were eyeing it covetously, and if he wanted to have it, he would have to pay a huge price.

However, the condition that only a seven-star smithing master could repair it at the end also gave him a small wave of dissuasion.
