Members from Qionghua had no choice, there was nothing they could do. It was better to not say anything no more.

Earlier, there were several high-grade items and Li Yao distributed them to the others without much hesitation.

He was the leader, the right to distribute the items was in his hands. He could have taken all the items for himself, but he did not. Now that there was an even better item, it was better for them to not argue.

Of course, it was useless for them to argue since the right to distribute was his. They had no choice. If they were to offend him by any chance, he could take all of the items and leave them with nothing. That would be a bigger loss.

Snake Trap (Structure) Book

Li Yao’s eyes instantly brightened up when he saw the book. He held the book in his hands.

In World of Ancient Gods, there were various types of skills. There were two main branches of skills.

Take Snake Trap as an example, it was divided into a basic skill book and a marked structure skill book.

The effects of a basic skill book were specific. Once the Snake Trap skill was used, the trap would release a dozen tiny cobras that would cause a certain amount of poison damage.

After leveling up, players could get inscription techniques to change the effects of the skill. For example, once a player had acquired a special inscription, he could change the cobras to not cause any damage but to stun or slow down enemies.

Another example was once Li Yao had learned the basic Arcane Shot skill, depending on the inscriptions that he would get in later stages, he could upgrade the skill to make it cause fire damage, freezing damage, shadow damage and others. The variations were endless.

Each class was branched out differently and their skills varied accordingly. Even Beast Master Hunters would have different skills according to different inscription techniques. This system was praised by countless players for its ability to allow players to create characters with the class and role they wanted. Every character was unique in their own ways.

Structure skills were just an extension to the system.

Take the Snake Trap as an example, marked structure skill books would allow players to create portable traps. These portable traps could seal living creatures in. After creation, it would be similar to a Shaman’s totem that projects the trap’s image.

The interesting thing about this skill was that the changes were unpredictable. In the game, there were various poisonous creatures. Players would usually catch different creatures to put them in the Snake Trap, which resulted in different effects.

This would turn the Snake Traps into Poison Frog Traps, Poison Bug Traps and others. The effect of these traps was measured by the attributes of the creatures sealed in the traps, so it would take some time to remake it. It was also better to change it with higher level creatures so the player would not fall behind.

“This skill book is for Hunters, so I’ll take it.” Li Yao did not hesitate to learn the skill.

Hunter skills were not worth much. Since there were not many Hunter players, they were not valued as much either. The members from the squad did not have any objections.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Yao valued this skill book almost as much as the Fang. In the long run, this skill would be super useful.

There was a hidden feature in this skill. After a Hunter had learned this structure skill and engineering, he would have an extra Mecha-snake blueprint. The Mecha-snake created could be sealed within the trap with mechanical features and extra attributes. To Li Yao, this was something difficult to obtain.

After all, structure skill books were only dropped by Bosses, which meant that it could be found worldwide. The only thing was that the drop rate was only one in ten million. One would be too naïve to expect to get one of these.

The rest of the loot were task items and two Green Plate Armor, which Li Yao did not need. The items were divided between TwinkleBeauty and BlueDreamer.

“It’s getting late, I guess that will be all for today. See you all next time.” Li Yao left the squad.

“Hope we will get the chance to work together again, master player.” BlueDreamer smiled.

“We will.” Li Yao began to use his hearthstone.

Seeing that Li Yao had disappeared, LilRainDrop asked, “Your brother and StarFire are great buddies, that means that your brother is pretty good too, right?”

Li Jia held her head high proudly. “Of course my brother is good! He’s also a commentator, he will be famous in the future.”

“Then I’ll be sure to meet him when we have the chance.” LilRainDrob said excitedly, but then she muttered, “This way, we can team up with StarFire again. I really want to continue killing Bosses in a safer, more efficient way.”

Li Jia did not realize her mischievous intentions. “That will be great! My brother is actually quite handsome. Hold on, my brother just messaged me. He said that he has sent me three Green equipment, and there is a staff. Let’s go back now.”

“Let’s go, let’s go! Seems like your bro is not a simple man. With your new Green equipment, you will become stronger than me.” LilRainDrop was more excited for her friend in getting new equipment.

“Let me know next time when you’re playing with your brother, I would like to get to know him too,” said TwinkleBeauty.

“Alright, Sister Bing. I’ll be sure to let you know.”

Little did she know, they were not interested in her brother. Instead, they were trying to get close so they could meet with StarFire.

However, they were unaware that StarFire and Li Jia’s brother, Liao Yuan, were actually the same person.

Li Yao brought himself back to his novice village with his hearthstone. He mailed the seized Green equipment to his little sister.

Then, AdorkableTong messaged him. She complained to Li Yao for not inviting her to fight the Boss and wanted to unfriend him for that. Li Yao laughed it off.
