Chapter 104: Rich Man’s Shield

“Ok, the rest you can handle yourself. See what precious stones and crystals you have that would fit you.” Old Wales said, having had his fill of abusing Zhang ZhengXiong. He appeared invigorated as he sat on his chair, arms crossed.

Zhang ZhengXiong wanted to cry, but had no more tears. He looked at the crystal shield and the marble slowly melting into each other. His heart ached recalled how much of a nightmare it’s been being professional gamers…

To vent his anger, he dumped all the crystals and precious stones in his bag into the mixture. Old Wales quickly got up, wanting to stop him, but he was too late. A myriad of crystals and gems jumbled together chaotically in the mixture. They began to melt into the crystal shield, releasing majestic rays of extremely clear, multi-colored light.

“Such a waste…” Old Wales looked at the shield. It was a monstrosity born from tens of different crystals and precious stones. Putting it all into a shield… it would have been better to just sell them all.

“Congratulations. You’ve forge an Distinguished quality equipment. Please give it a name.”

Looking at the shield shining in many brilliant colors, Zhang ZhengXiong murmured “Resplendent.”

Ye Cang looked at the shield and froze. The effects were abnormal, it could even compare to his ring. It had a monstrous 19 defence! It not only added +4 to all stats, but even added an additional 10%. It even gave 10% damage resistance, along with stun resistance and will. However, it had that massive 50 constitution requirement that would make it unwearable for most people. Fortunately Zhang ZhengXiong was a constitution focused priest. 50 wasn’t much to him. Even 60 wouldn’t have been doable. It was pretty much a shield made just for him. As for its external appearance, it made all their other equipment look like country bumpkins. It was too dazzling.

Zhang ZhengXiong slowly picked up the shield, and gently ran his hand over it’s surface. It had a beautiful surface made of many gems and minerals. It was too beautiful to use as a shield.

“Too wasteful, looking at it makes my hairs stand on end…” Old Wales sighed. So many f**king precious stones and gems went into this shield. It’s material value is actually worth more than the final product. It’s too much. Just take some black-iron and slime crystal, and you can make a heavy shield. Then add a few gems and precious stones to decorate it a bit, it’s defence wouldn’t lose to this toy. But as this kid’s very first creation, it could be considered a masterpiece. Thinking that, he just smiled and didn’t say more.

“Brother Lil’Xiong, let me touch it~” Lin Le quickly ran over. He looked like a little kid who was jealous of someone else’s toy.

“Move aside. Earlier when I was being thrashed, you just stood there.” Zhang ZhengXiong shouted unhappily.

“Let me see~~ Let me see~~” Lin Le whipped his ahoge around and threw a tantrum. Zhang ZhengXiong helplessly handed it to him. “What do I do with you… here, go play. You have to return it to me later…”

After handing it over, he began to feel like this scene was really familiar. Rainbow lights flashed, and the room was filled with brilliant colors. Everyone was inflicted with confusion.

Seeing everyone gnashing their teeth and glaring at him, Lin Le passed the shield back to Zhang ZhengXiong. He then rubbed his head and said innocently. “How was I supposed to know it would do that? I’ve given it back.”

“Ok, it’s Lil’Dino’s turn.” Ye Cang said, hinting FrozenCloud to make her order.

FrozenCloud told Old Wales her idea, and he sat by the fire and began smithing. A pair of different sized T shaped rods were formed. After polishing it and wrapping the handle in leather, a big and a small, engraved tonfas were created.
