The Great Thief

Chapter 656: Gnomish Poultryizer

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

"This is the gear you wanted," Lu Li said as he unequipped the Corrupted Fang and gave it to Scarlet New Moon.

Since the guy had taken a liking to his equipment, Lu Li didn’t mind giving it to him. He was now filled with a burning passion to level up, not wanting to wait a moment longer to reach level 45.

Corrupted Fang (Perfect Silver Grade): 24-36 Damage, Agility +16, Strength +6, Critical Chance +8%, Special Effect 1: Chance to apply 20% Armor Pierce when attacking, lasts 15 seconds. Special Effect 2: Chance to summon a Phantom when attacking. Phantom has 30% of player’s attack damage, lasts 20 seconds. Level Requirement 25, Durability 50/50.

This was only a level 25 dagger, which meant that its damage and attributes were slightly lower, but the +8% critical hit was very good.

Moreover, it was the two special effects that really made this dagger great.

There was a high chance for the Armor Pierce to trigger; it would happen once every few minutes.

The Phantom attacks were something that Lu Li had become infamous for. The sudden appearance of a phantom not only confused the opposing player, but also resulted in a boost to his overall damage. It was also very useful when used for scouting.

"If you give this to me now, what will you use?’ Scarlet New Moon didn’t think that Lu Li would give it to him so soon.

"I have a spare," Lu Li said as he took a dagger out from his bag. He wasn’t lacking in such items, but it wasn’t as good as the one he had just given away.

This dagger didn’t have such powerful effects, but its basic damage and properties were higher. After all, it was a level 40 Silver equipment – there was a big difference of 15 levels.

While the Epic equipment’s owner was being determined, everyone was still a little restless.

A secret area Boss was lying there behind them and they were all anticipating what kind of items it would drop. Everyone had high expectations.

It was a secret area Boss – surely, it would drop some good items.

"We’re counting on you, our little princess," Lu Li said as he patted Remnant Dream’s head. Once upon a time, Lu Li had thought that this little girl was just some idiot.

"Watch carefully everyone," Remnant Dream instructed as she rolled up her sleeves.

Azure Sea Breeze swallowed his saliva with a look of anticipation.

"Get a Shield, Dreamy. Big bro will give you a red packet for it."

"Bro, didn’t you say that if a Warrior item dropped you would give it to me? My equipment is so bad," World’s Best Friend laughed. When the Epic item was about to be revealed, that was exactly what Azure Sea Breeze had said.

"Dammit," Azure Sea Breeze cursed as he slapped himself on the mouth. "What was I thinking?"

"Wow, it’s a Dark Gold equip!" Remnant Dream announced as she picked up an item. It had been a long time since she had seen an item that wasn’t Gold grade. Back in Zul’Farrak, even the best items were only Gold grade.

Sesame Rice Ball decisively dumped a red bag full of gold coins after its properties were shared.

It was a robe for Warlocks and came with a special effect that strengthened their Doomguard pets. When he put the robe on, Sesame Rice Ball’s Doomguard would become stronger by a third.

The second was also a Dark Gold item – it was the long-awaited Dark Gold Shield.

"Well, I said what I said."

Azure Sea Breeze slapped himself on the mouth once again. He was in one of the best guilds and was Dawn’s best Main Tank, so how could he break a promise that he had just made?

The shield was quite powerful; it had an aggro-increasing effect and a strong damage reduction effect. It also had an effect that transferred damage dealt to a target onto the wearer. Both the Main Tank’s mouths were watering after they heard about what it could do.

World’s Best Friend and Azure Sea Breeze’s relationship appeared to be good. He wasn’t afraid of Azure Sea Breeze’s reaction and happily took the shield, then placed it into his backpack.

This was a level 45 equipment, so no one could use it for now.

The third and final equipment wasn’t Dark Gold, but a Gold leather helmet. It was much better than the one Lu Li currently had, but he gave it up after a glance and left it between Scarlet New Moon and Cain’s Left Hand.

Lu Li still valued this helmet, as it was actually quite exquisite, but he was wearing the Voodoo Set that had been crafted by March Rain. One of the pieces was the headgear, so he couldn’t simply replace it.

Scarlet New Moon was willing to spend money for it, and ultimately took the helmet.

After the three pieces of equipment, Remnant Dream looted some blueprints for a variety of professions. Everyone’s expectations were suddenly reset again as they wondered what kind of blueprints a Secret Area Boss like the Doomguard would drop.

Blueprint: Gnomish Poultryizer

Recipe: Engineering

Requirement: Advanced Engineering (240)

Use: Teaches you how to make the Gnomish Poultryizer.

Gnomish Poultryizer: Turn a target into a Chiken for 5 seconds. Uh, of course, this is based on the assumption that there is no sudden reversal of energy...

This was actually a very advanced engineering blueprint, but when Lu Li read it, he didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.

The Gnomish Poultryizer could transform its targets into a chicken that looked similar to the Mage’s Polymorph. However, it was different in that the target that was transformed wouldn’t regenerate HP.

It also had a drawback – there was a certain probability the effect would rebound.

This meant that when you used the item, there was a chance that instead of turning someone else into a chicken, you would turn yourself into a chicken. This chance was said to be based on some character attributes.

The side effects were fatal, but it didn’t affect the popularity of the Gnomish Poultryizer at all.

The Gnomish Poultryizer was very useful in the wild. If you found that you couldn’t defeat a monster, you could turn it into a chicken and run away on your mount.

Yes, using this Poultryizer meant that you could escape combat.

However, these were just the blueprints of this item and its material cost was expensive. Moreover, it could only be used three times. As such, it was purely used by rich people.

Despite this, what made Lu Li want to cry was that to make this item, he needed to train his Engineering Skills.

Thanks to the Fool’s Bomb, his engineering level had reached Advanced level, but the Gnomish Poultryizer was Advanced (240) and he was currently at 191. He still needed 50 Engineering EXP before he met the requirements.

In order to increase his success rate, he needed to increase his Engineering EXP even further. This meant that he needed to gain 50 more EXP on top of that.

Fifty EXP couldn’t easily be acquired by making 50 items. According to Lu Li’s estimation, he would need to upgrade or make 500 items to achieve this.

This was a large amount of money, and quite a long time.
