Chapter 300 - What A Man Has To Do (2/2)

The pair of boots was unordinary because it was Fine Grade Cla.s.s Four. On top of that, they were carved with rune marks, which were so wonderful that the boots’ properties were connected as one.

In other words, the boots could be attached with Unique Attributes at the same time. Not only would it not be more difficult to refine them, but the difficulty level would also be lowered.

Needless to say, many possibilities were sacrificed for this, but this could unquestionably increase the success rate by a huge margin if one wanted to pursue a certain Unique Attribute.

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘Looks like the Journey Chamber of Commerce is determined this time.’

Following that, he enveloped the boots with his Military Fire, but instead of being at a hot temperature, it was presented at room temperature.

The young fellow casually picked up a rare ore because the ore’s attribute did not matter to him; he only needed to layer what was provided. That said, once the ore melted and the attribute was drawn, his face looked rather funny.

‘Evasion.

This thing carries the Evasion attribute…’

He had the same attribute in his sea of consciousness, but there was only one of it.

Ou Yangming studied the rare ores and remembered them well, then he attached the Evasion Attribute to the boots.

For other blacksmiths, it was easier to attach high-level attributes to boots like these, but there was no difference for Ou Yangming.

Before long, Ou Yangming successfully attached the attributes with five ores as he was familiar with the process. After some thought, he picked up another ore and increased the Evasive attribute to 6 points. Once he was done, he picked two ores to put them aside, then he burned the remaining ores with his Military Fire.

The Evasive attribute was incredibly rare, so he was not going to miss it.

Given that he did not have a relations.h.i.+p with the Journey Chamber of Commerce, and that this matter was unrelated to Master Wu Hongxi, he did not have to be merciful.

Ou Yangming was surprised when he curbed his Military Fire after a brief moment.

[Item: Distinguished boots (Red)]

(Equivalent Rank: Ordinary Tool, Fine Grade Rank Four]

[Attributes: Toughness +19, Evasive +6 (Pa.s.sive Attribute: A 10% success rate of natural evasion under an attack), Durability 19]

The success rate of a natural evasion would be 10% if there was only 1 point of Evasive attribute, but the success rate was only 15% even when six Evasive attributes were layered.

Sure enough, the Evasive attribute was distinctive.

Ou Yangming turned around and opened the door.

Duanmu Liang was surprised when he looked up.

“Master Ou, you’re… Done?”

“You can inspect them.” Ou Yangming handed the boots to him.

Duanmu Liang had already invited an appraiser here. Right after appraisal art was used, the shopkeeper was elated and excited.

“Six layers! The attribute was layered six times! Master Ou, you’re too amazing!”

Duanmu Liang requested for the layering of five attributes, but he knew Master Jin Shengjie was the only person who could guarantee success. Hence, he was overjoyed when Ou Yangming managed to achieve six layers. Ou Yangming chuckled and asked all of a sudden, “Shopkeeper Duanmu, why don’t you attach the attributes to the boots separately?”

Duanmu Liang was struck dumb, but he answered carefully, “Master Ou, this attribute is rather strange. It can only be attached to a piece of equipment in an equipment set, and it’ll be useless even if other pieces of equipment have it…” Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he ridiculed himself, ‘There are indeed too many odd attributes in the world, so how can I be all-knowing…

Fortunately, Duanmu Liang was sensible enough to change the topic. He said, “Master Ou, I have a few more tasks with me, and you’ll be rewarded with substantial Prestige Points. If you…”

However, Ou Yangming waved his hand to cut off the shopkeeper. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to accept smithing tasks for now.”

“Huh, what?” Duanmu Liang was puzzled. “Master Ou, did I offend you?”

“Do I look like I’m narrow-minded?” Ou Yangming was displeased.

Duanmu Liang smiled embarra.s.sedly and told the young fellow, “Master Ou, if you need my help in whatever you’re doing next, I’ll be at your service.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He glanced at the shopkeeper and stated, “Now, I’m going to do… What a man has to do!”

“What a man has to do?” Duanmu Liang was baffled. ‘What is it?’

The young fellow turned around and walked with his chin up. He left the Smithing Hall with a cheerful smile, and a formidable aura was released as his footsteps became firmer.

Duanmu Liang followed him to the main street. He turned pale when he saw where Ou Yangming was heading, and he mumbled, “Im-pos-si-ble…”
