Chapter 368: Chapter 368
“Great Grandmaster, I dare not accept your courtesies.” Li Yao quickly sidestepped, even though he couldn’t detect the other’s identity, the robes were a clear sign that he held a significant rank in this city.

“Even though you only made a low-level Fire Gun, the craftsmanship was exceptional. I’ve only seen such mastery two or three times in my life. Today, I was fortunate enough to witness it again, any future advancements of mine will be thanks to what I’ve learned today.” The elder was very sincere.

“You’re giving me too much credit. I’m just a mid-level engineer. You, on the other hand, are a Grandmaster. You’re in a whole different league.” Li Yao hurriedly responded, at the same time feeling a twinge of regret. He wished he hadn’t cut corners to save time and ended up attracting the attention of this fellow, resulting in this awkward situation.

“With your skills, you just haven’t been officially assessed yet. Ordinary people only care about ranks, but true experts value craftsmanship.” The elder reassured Li Yao, then slapped his forehead, saying: “You’re still in the middle of providing service; I won’t interrupt you anymore. Just let me know when you’re leaving, I’ll be upstairs.”

After saying his piece and bowing respectfully, the elder turned and walked upstairs. Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

With the elder’s departure, the players once again flocked to Li Yao.

“Master, get to work quickly. I also want a Shimmering Weapon.”

“I’m first, I’m first.”

The scene was immediately chaotic and crowded. Little Cold Hands originally wanted to thank Li Yao, but found herself squeezed out by the players. She waved to Li Yao then left with her purple Fire Gun.

The players had seen the properties of the Fire Gun just now. In almost every aspect, it was far superior to regular weapons. Traditionally, the process of creating custom orders takes one or two hours and was easily prone to failure. The key point is that it’s really hard to make a weapon shimmer.

Now they have this easy access to shimmering weapons, and the Grandmaster was very respectful to Li Yao. It was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.

Li Yao’s original plan was to earn some money from providing service, then pretend to have knowledge of a relic’s whereabouts, finally expressing interest and hiring several adventurers to explore with him.

Instead, his profile was raised even higher, but since things were already like this, Li Yao was helpless. He needed to continue providing services for at least half the day. Otherwise, if he stopped now, the Grandmaster would definitely become suspicious.

Having figured this out, Li Yao shouted: “Quiet down, everybody.”

Hearing Li Yao speak, the players finally stopped the noise.

Li Yao continued, “I was just trying to make ends meet, didn’t expect such a warm reception from everyone. But with so many people here, even if I could multitask, I wouldn’t be able to finish by tomorrow, right? What if we do it like this: I’ll set some rules.”

“Indeed, we need to set some rules. With so many people, we’ll be queuing till next year otherwise.”

“Master, you should charge a higher fee.”

Li Yao was waiting for this sentence, said, “Since this friend suggested it, I reluctantly accept. Look, you all are learning engineering. With me providing service, you not only get a Shimmering Weapon but also learn the technique. Umm, if it’s about making a weapon, it will cost one gold coin per order.”

Holy shit…

The noisy crowd suddenly fell into silence, and all glared angrily at the player who suggested a higher fee.

This player hastily recoiled, but still grimaced and said, “I think charging one gold coin is very fair. Don’t you think Master’s skills are worth this price?”

“Damn it! You suggested one gold coin because you also need Master’s service.”

“Of course! How could we let this opportunity slip by.”

As they were right in front of Li Yao, no one dared to say his skills weren’t worth it. They could only vent their anger on the player who suggested the price, forcing him to order one too.

Seeing that he was also blocked at the back and couldn’t escape, the player gritted his teeth and said, “Nonsense, I was planning to have Master make my order! Otherwise why would I suggest it? Master, I want you to make a Fire Gun like the one you made for the lady just now—Here’s one gold coin. The materials for each set cost somebody thirty silver coins earlier—I’ll give you another thirty silver coins.”

Li Yao grinned and accepted the one gold and thirty silver coins. When Little Cold Hands left, she didn’t take the remaining nine sets of materials with her.

This player’s name was Hunter Among Hunters. Watching Li Yao pocketing the coins, he felt a great pain in his heart, but he had to keep a calm facade.

“Young man, don’t worry, you’re making a profit.” Li Yao started making the Fire Gun again.

Although he was still multitasking this time, he didn’t push as hard as the first time. This time he took half an hour to make it.

What Li Yao didn’t know was that the Grandmaster was watching him make it through a magic image.

“Master, he should be fine. If he were a spy from another race, he wouldn’t be so familiar with our tools,” said a senior engineer.

“Hmm, don’t worry about it, just watch and learn carefully. You guys are very fortunate to have this opportunity. If I had such a chance in the past, I would’ve become a Great Grandmaster by now.” The elder stopped talking after that, fixing his eyes on Li Yao as if he were engraving every single move Li Yao made into his mind.

The players were also trying hard to study Li Yao’s technique, but they all understood it poorly.

When Li Yao started the final polishing process on the Fire Gun, everyone was expectant. A small streamer even began to stream the situation live. Many people started betting on whether the gun would shimmer this time.

When Li Yao put his hand down, and the Fire Gun’s blue glow turned into a purple glow, everyone couldn’t help but cheer.

“As I said young man, you aren’t losing money. Selling it can easily make you a few dozen silver coins.” Li Yao handed the Fire Gun to him.

“Only, only a fool would sell it.” Hunter Among Hunters was relieved. With this Fire Gun, he was now one of the big players. Moreover, Fire Guns were easier to aim with compared to a Bow and Arrow. Only a fool would sell it.

“Master, I, I… ”

“Master, me too.”

“Hold on, those who have blueprints for me to provide service to get priority.” Li Yao said.

“I have it, Master, help me make a pair of mechanical goggles.” A player handed Li Yao a blueprint.

Li Yao was surprised; he didn’t expect this unexpected gain. He wore a helmet, but if he knew engineering, he could also wear goggles.

Eagle Eye Goggles Blueprint

Quality: Superior Blue

After learning, can produce Eagle Eye Goggles

Eagle Eye Goggles

Quality: Superior Blue (Can shimmer to purple)

Armor: 100 (150)

Agility: 25 (40)

Day Vision: 25 (40)

Night Vision: 15 (28)

Eagle Eye Technique: Release the Eagle Eye Technique, can see scenery within three thousand yards, lasts for one minute, cooldown time is three minutes.

(Keen Vision: Easier to find hidden monsters and treasure chests)

Learning Conditions: Intermediate Engineering

Forget about ordinary players, even Li Yao’s breath hitched at these attributes; they were simply too good.

Especially the purple quality ones, not to mention the armor, agility was what Li Yao needed most.

Moreover, vision didn’t just mean seeing further, it also meant increasing the attack range. It was extremely overpowered to increase the attack range by nearly forty yards….

ps: overslept…

We are still a hundred votes short from being the fourth. Got any monthly ticket support? Mario gives thanks.
