MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information-Chapter 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The World Channel was very lively.

The focus of the discussion was on the Black-Striped Grass that Mike had on the shelf.

Even if someone had found out how to replenish energy, no one had announced it. Most people didn’t know anything.

Mike had listed on the Black-Striped Grass and opened up a new world for them.

Many people sent private messages to Mike asking him where he got those special materials.

Some of them wanted to collaborate with Mike to make money, but he was just trying to get what he needed.

There were also some people who wanted to team up with Mike and work for him.

Mike ignored them all.

Now all he needed was iron and copper ores. He didn’t care about anything else. He wouldn’t even consider other suggestions.

Many people who went out in groups encountered the problem of a lack of energy.

They couldn’t find a solution. But they had heard about the Trade Market, they didn’t think twice about trading with Mike.

Iron ore? Copper ore?

These things needed blueprints to be used.

At the present, not many people had blueprints.

They didn’t even know what iron ores and copper ores were used for, but they knew the value of energy.

[Commodity transaction successful: Iron Ore + 1]

[Commodity transaction successful: Copper Ore + 1]

...

The 20 sets of Black-Striped Grass in Mike’s hands were quickly sold out.

He received 14 iron ores and 6 copper ores.

He still lacked four copper ores.

Mike put up another 20 sets of Black-Striped Grass.

“It’s appeared again!”

“This Mike guy put up another 20 sets of special resources. Where did he get such a precious resource? It looks like grass.”

“It can’t be grass, right? A natural resource?”

“Ptui, don’t eat grass. I ate one just now, but it didn’t have any effect. I was directly poisoned to death, so I had to respawn.”

“Looks like it’s not as simple as grass.”

“I’m still at the camp. Has that pro gained enough energy to leave? I sense a shift in the world.”

“Where are we going to mine iron and copper?”

“I don’t have any materials here...” 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

...

The World Channel was in an uproar again because of Mike’s resources on the market.

Mike turned off the World Channel. It was a waste of time to watch them talk about him. He would just wait for the copper ores to increase in number.

Soon, the materials needed to build a basic furnace were gathered.

[Iron Ore: 21/10]

[Copper Ore: 12/10]

[Energy: 60/100]

[Basic Furnace: Start manufacturing!]

Mike used the Black-Striped Grass to recover the 60 energy he had lost. He took note of the time left for the furnace to finish crafting and went out to farm monsters to kill time.

He cleared a bunch of Exotic Beasts in the wild and was now Level 12.

[Furnace: Crafting completed]

The furnace was now complete.

Mike took out the furnace from his backpack and placed it on the ground.

[Basic Furnace]

[Can be used to make equipment below Level 30.]

[Can be used to make traps and catchers.]

[Can be used to make wood, stone, and other tools. (Can be used to build houses, castles, and other necessary materials.)]

[Add a blueprint and you can make more tools.]

[Adding higher-level blueprints can be used to upgrade the furnace.]

The basic furnace came with many crafting recipes. Blueprints could also be added for blueprint expansion.

Mike looked at the equipment crafting interface.

[Level 10 Blue Staff]

[Requirements: 10 Wood, 2 Iron Ores, 1 set of Level 10 Fangs, 1 set of Level 10 Claws.]

Mike did not have wood.

However, that was not a big problem. He listed more items on the Trade Market. One stalk of Black-Striped Grass for 10 pieces of wood.

Wood was easy to find as it was everywhere.

The Trade Market soon began to beep.

As for the Level 10 fangs and Level 10 claws, Mike didn’t have them.

But he could use 10 pieces of Level 0 claws to synthesize one set of Level 10 claws. The same was true for the fangs.

During this period of time, Mike had hunted Exotic Beasts and obtained many beast materials. It was more than enough to assemble the materials to synthesize a Level 10 Blue Staff.

Above Blue-quality was Purple.

[Level 10 Purple Staff]

[Requirements: 3 Level 10 Blue Staff, 30 Wood, 10 Iron Ore, 1 Level 10 Purple Tusk, 5 Level 10 Tusks, 5 Level 10 Claws.]

The hardest to obtain among them was the Level 10 Purple Tusk.

However, it was a sheer coincidence that when Mike had killed the Level 10 boss Exotic Beast, he just happened to obtain a Purple Tusk.

The materials were synthesized.

[Level 10 Purple Staff: Successfully created!]

The Purple Staff appeared and fell into Mike’s hands.

[Level 10 Purple Staff: + 50 Magic Attack, + 10 Physical Attack, + 1% Skill Damage, -1% Skill Cooldown.]

“Purple equipment is strong. It also adds skill damage and reduces the cooldown. Godlike equipment that I encounter in the future will definitely be stronger.”

Mike was pleasantly surprised as he had only expected Magic Attack to be added but received other stat upgrades as well.

He continued to use the furnace to craft more equipment. Without Purple materials, he could only make Blue equipment.

Until his armor was made, he wouldn’t have another chance to make Purple equipment.

[Level 10 Purple Armor]

[Requirements: 3 Level 10 Blue Armor, 30 Wood, 5 Iron Ore, 1 set of Level 10 Purple Fur, 20 sets of Level 10 Fur.]

Mike had Level 10 Purple Fur.

If he was short of wood and iron ore, he would head to the Trade Market.

If he was short of fur and materials, he would head out to hunt Exotic Beasts. Those materials would be easily gathered.

All of them were then placed inside the furnace.

[Level 10 Purple Armor: Successfully made!]

[Level 10 Purple Armor: + 200 Vitality, + 30 Physical Defense, + 30 Magic Defense, + 1% Damage Reduction, + 1% Control Reduction, + 5 Max Energy.]

Not only did it increase a large number of attributes, but there were also all kinds of reductions and an increase in the max energy!

Mike’s energy had increased to 100/105.

Something else also appeared that piqued Mike’s interest.

[When energy decreases, all attribute percentages decrease. When energy increases, all attribute percentages increase. The current max energy has increased by 5%, hence all attributes increased by 5%.]

This was a hidden message.

There was actually such a benefit in increasing the max energy!

Because of this, this Level 10 Purple Armor was definitely worthy of being called a piece of godlike equipment.

His set of equipment was complete and among them were two pieces of purple equipment. Mike should be the best geared amongst them all.

Although his level was not the highest, his combat ability must be the strongest.

After that, Mike continued to study the furnace.

He created two items, ‘trap’ and ‘catcher’.

Traps were easy to understand.

Once an Exotic Beast or enemy stepped into a trap, they would suffer all kinds of damage, such as poisoning, movement restrictions, critical injuries, and so on.

As Mike was a Mage, his survival ability was very weak.

In the future, he would place a circle of densely packed traps around himself when he fought.

Who would be able to withstand that?

Mike had Flash, so he didn’t have to worry about getting caught in the trap. Once he discovered a problem in that situation, he could Flash out of the trap’s range. His survivability would be greatly guaranteed.

As for the ‘catcher’, it was a bit more interesting.

It could allow Mike to capture Exotic Beasts alive.

As to capturing Exotic Beasts alive, Mike didn’t know what they were for. Perhaps it could be used for research, breeding, or even taming as a pet?

Mike had no intention of capturing Exotic Beasts as pets for the time being.

Even if he were to capture them, what kind of Exotic Beasts would be of use? They couldn’t withstand a single blow so weren’t worth capturing and raising at all.

“Creating a hundred and eighty traps and carry them around to throw them all over the floor during a fight...” Mike wanted to laugh as he pictured that scene.
