Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 8 Refining Equipment

Zhao Weike counted the other prizes and successively received a beginner's wooden sword, fine iron ingots, brass ingots, black iron ingots, and so on.

After all the prizes were counted, his face turned ashen.

Putting aside the [Sky-Piercing Jade], the only decent item is the [Two-Star Costume Upgrade Scroll], which can upgrade an unrefined one-star costume to two stars, but he didn't draw any costumes at all.

"Tianquan, Dizhi, and costumes are the hardest to get!" Zhao Weike shook his head and sighed. "After tonight, the tutorial dungeon will be gone. Fighting the Lion Dog only drops materials, and it won't be easy to get lottery tickets anymore. My hundred consecutive draws are not as good as my initial ten draws. Sigh!"

"Ah! Does this mean I can't farm lottery tickets in Lion's Den tomorrow?" Wang Yingluo carefully walked onto the Destiny Platform. "Luckily, I spent the whole day grinding with the captain... I did the lottery, everyone wish me luck!"

Lu Chaoding frowned. He knew that the Boiling Blood Lion Cave tutorial dungeon would disappear after one day, but he didn't expect it to be gone first thing tomorrow morning. He wondered if there would still be dungeon quests or completion rewards.

At this time, Wang Yingluo's lottery draw had ended, and she was actually quite lucky, producing one blue light and twelve green lights.

Unlike Zhang Defa and the security department, this female player started by counting the white-glowing items.

"Compressed biscuits"

Red bean buns

"Xiao Long Bao"

"Mountain Spring Water"

After counting all 87 white-glowing items, most of which were food, Wang Yingluo then clicked on the green-glowing orbs. She immediately selected a two-star [Azure Jade Sword], followed by [Cultivation Insights], a sachet pendant, a kite back accessory, [Sword Saint's Certificate], and so on.

The last blue orb revealed a three-star combat skill called "Sacred Heart Technique." This skill consumes one point of battle spirit and distributes it to teammates, granting them two points of battle spirit at the start of the next round!

Wang Yingluo was overjoyed.

Zhang Defa, standing below the Destiny Platform, was so envious he felt like vomiting blood. He roared, "This is so unscientific! How can there be so many good things! Mine are all food and materials!"

Zhao Weike was also a little envious, saying, "It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others. Yingluo, your hundred consecutive draws are amazing! You have combat skills, weapons, accessories, and back accessories. You're only missing Tianquan and Dizhi. Tsk tsk, you even got a cultivation manual, which is worth 500 cultivation points!"

There was still one contestant in the audience who hadn't drawn a prize yet, Gu Xiaoxiao. She was getting impatient and ran up to the Destiny Platform shouting, "My turn! My turn! Watch me draw a five-star divine sword!"

She quickly scattered lottery tickets, attracting 89 white lights, 10 green lights, and 1 blue light.

"Oh dear, which orb should I click on first?"

Gu Xiaoxiao took her time, spending more than ten minutes counting the items she had drawn. Most of the items were food and materials. Among the two-star items were a [Qingfeng Sword], a [Golden Snake Sword], a [Combo] skill book, and a bottle of [Boiling Blood]. The three-star blue item was the material [Charging Jade]. The rest were not worth mentioning.

Overall, she was quite lucky.

After the four of them finished drawing their prizes, Zhang Defa was undoubtedly the most frustrated, grumbling incessantly. Zhao Weike, however, said, "Everyone needs to have team spirit. In order to advance the dungeon storyline faster, I suggest that everyone take out what they drew and distribute it reasonably."

"I agree!" Zhang Defa immediately raised his hand. He looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "Little sister, you drew two two-star weapons. Can I use one? And Yingluo, why don't you give the captain your pendant and back accessory first and arm him up?"

Zhao Weike was very satisfied upon hearing this and nodded with a smile.

Wang Yingluo and Gu Xiaoxiao were displeased. Despite their previous affectionate address of "Captain," they immediately refused, with Wang Yingluo saying, "How can this be! It's not public property; there's no reason to distribute it for free!"

Gu Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, I disagree with the captain's suggestion! How can I give away something I worked so hard to extract for free!"

Lu Chaoding raised his hand, standing about five meters away from the four men, and shouted, "I suggest free trade! Buy what you want with money, or exchange it for other goods!"

"Huh?" Wang Yingluo looked at Lu Chaoding upon hearing this and said, "What Lu Chaoding said is more plausible!"

Gu Xiaoxiao chimed in, "If it's a transaction, I'm open to it too. Brother Defa, I can sell you this [Qingfeng Sword] for 50 gold coins, is that alright?"

"this……"

Zhang Defa glared at Lu Chaoding but did not give a reply.

50 gold coins! He spent a whole day grinding and only earned 100 gold coins. He took half of it to buy a weapon, and he still couldn't tell if it was worth it.

Before Zhao Weike could speak, Lu Chaoding suddenly ran up to him and sent the message directly to the transaction window.

Trading, teaming up, and storage space are basic abilities that players have from the start.

Zhao Weike was taken aback. He was about to close the transaction window and scold Lu Chaoding when he suddenly noticed an item in the window.

"A sailor dress?"

He was immediately startled.

Lu Chaoding quickly said, "I obtained this outfit by chance. It's exquisitely designed and even has additional attributes, making it extremely rare. How about it? Can I exchange it for your [Sky-Piercing Jade]?"

"That's women's clothing!"

Zhao Weike could now see the sailor dress's attribute information, and his brows furrowed deeply.

In his experience, most one-star costumes are plain and don't add any attributes. This sailor dress actually adds a little defense and a little speed, which is quite rare.

Lu Chao retorted, "What's wrong with women's clothing? Women's clothing is wearable too. Strength is paramount; enhancing your own strength isn't shameful. Didn't you just draw a two-star costume upgrade scroll? Think about it, this one-star costume will immediately upgrade to two stars in your hands, and its attributes will definitely be good. I'm only exchanging it for a useless Void-Breaking Jade. This is a good deal! If you don't want it, I'll sell this costume to Wang Yingluo and the others. I guarantee they'll fight over it, believe it or not?"

Zhao Weike remained silent for a moment, then placed the Sky-Piercing Jade in the trading window.

"He actually agreed!"

Lu Chao was somewhat surprised. After confirming the transaction, with a "ding," the sailor dress in his storage space was replaced by the [Sky-Piercing Jade].

"What a brave warrior!" Lu Chao exclaimed. "I respect you as a true man! It'll be a pleasure working with you!"

He happily went to find Gu Xiaoxiao again. Gu Xiaoxiao had drawn a bottle of [Boiling Blood], and the blood material was the material for refining the Commoner Sword. He thought about buying it with gold coins.

However, after Lu Chao turned around, he did not notice the contemptuous sneer on Zhao Weike's face.

"Lu Chao, this guy's suspicious. How did he get the costume? And what does he want the Sky-Piercing Jade for? Heh heh, you can be arrogant now, but have you ever heard of the saying 'A dark and windy night is a good time to kill'?"

The beta tester's eyes gleamed as he secretly made his plans.

Lu Chaoding had already started chatting with Gu Xiaoxiao. This female player was very cautious and indecisive, afraid of being taken advantage of. Lu Chaoding argued with her for a while and finally managed to buy the bottle of [Boiling Blood] for 20 gold coins.

"I wonder what the purchasing power of gold is, whether this deal was a loss or a gain..."

Lu Chaoding was quite satisfied at this moment. With so many people around, he didn't want to go through the lottery to avoid unnecessary trouble. So he quietly went to Niu Daren's side and began to refine the Pifu Sword.

"Ding! Confirm you want to use Boiling Blood to refine the Rogue Sword? Note: This item will be bound after refinement!"

"Sure!"

"Ding! Refinement successful. You have lost one bottle of Boiling Blood. Rogue Sword Refinement +1, Attack +10!"

"Only 10 points of attack power? The refinement effect seems mediocre!"

Lu Chao shook his head and continued refining the Ghost Panel Axe.

"Ding, are you sure you want to use the Sky-Piercing Jade to refine the Ghost Panel Axe?"

"Sure!"

"Ding! You have lost a Void-Piercing Jade. Ghost Panel Axe Refinement +1, Toughness-Piercing Damage +200!"

"Huh! This effect is not bad!" Lu Chao was delighted.

At that moment, the sky noticeably darkened, and Xiao Ning, Zhang Jiaqiang, and Xiao Panpan walked over from the side path.

Niu Daren's body stiffened, and he spoke up: "Junior brothers and sisters, come here. I brought some supplies. See if there's anything you need!"

A system notification followed immediately: "Ding! The temporary camp NPC Niu Daren has opened a supply shop. Supply items will be refreshed every night at 6 PM. The quantity of supply items is limited and can be purchased with gold coins. Please explore on your own for details."
