Chapter 35: King-Tier Equipment!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mike had not expected such a development. He had not seen the hidden information for this at all, and this was just a coincidence.
"Follow me."
The maid was very polite to him, and the others looked at him with envy.
"Excuse me." someone immediately came over to ask.
"Would there be any other way to meet Master Burt?"
"If the equipment does not change hands after the meeting between Master Burt and Mike is over, a new method will be announced," the maid replied.
"We'll have to wait for the result."
"Let's hope that the people from the Palace of the Heavenly King don't succeed."
"They definitely won't succeed."
"I don't dare to say anything about the others, but he's so young, he will definitely waste this opportunity."
"And his name is Mike. People named Mike are very annoying, none of them can succeed."
The people from the other palaces were discussing animatedly.
"A bunch of sore losers!" The people from the Palace of the Heavenly King shot back.
...
Following the maid through a few corridors, they arrived at the place where Burt lived. There were many forging tables and tools were scattered everywhere.
Burt's life had almost become one with forgery. That resulted in him becoming the famous master he is now.
Hearing their voices, Burt knew that someone had passed the test. Otherwise, the maid would not have dared to bring someone here directly.
"Sit down." Burt did not turn around. He lowered his head and studied something.
The maid found a place for Mike to sit down. Then, she stood at the side and waited silently.
"Which palace are you from?"
Burt still did not turn around.
"The Palace of the Heavenly King," Mike replied.
Master Burt finally turned to look at Mike. He did not say anything. Instead, he kept his silence for a long time.
"Who taught you the meeting etiquettes? There are only a few people in the Heavenly King's palace who know me so well. Your status isn't low, right? Are you highly regarded?" Burt asked.
Mike didn't understand, so he shook his head.
"No one taught me," said Mike.
"Hahaha!" Burt burst into laughter. "How interesting, you've gone back to not knowing me at all. Since you've already cheated your way in, just admit it honestly. Otherwise, I'll be disgusted. Nobody told you about this?"
Mike frowned. It seemed that in Burt's eyes, Mike had accepted the guidance of a certain expert, and that was why he could pass the test.
He didn't believe that such a young child was able to meet him on his own.
"Nobody," Mike said.
"..." Burt fell silent, his eyes fixed on Mike.
It was as if he wanted to see through him. But he couldn't.
"In that case, I won't bother with you." Burt shook his head. "If you came here through cheating, I won't let you leave here in vain for the sake of the person who taught you. But now... You might have come here in vain."
"What do you want me to do?" Mike asked.
"The requirements were stated from the beginning." Burt smiled. "The good equipment. I'll give it to you only if you understand it."
"I have to forge?" Mike asked.
"No, you don't need to know how to forge. If that was the case, I'd have asked for only Blacksmiths to come to me."
Burt walked to a box, which he inserted a key and twisted it.
The box slowly opened and Burt put on his gloves. He took out a weapon very solemnly.
It was a spear, and it was probably a weapon for Amazons.
Burt placed it on the table near Mike.
"What do you think of this equipment? Tell me with your understanding honestly."
Mike looked over. It was actually a piece of Level 70 Diamond-Tier equipment.
It was perfect in all aspects.
Attribute bonus.
Additional upgrade.
It should be perfect in all aspects, it was top-tier equipment. But would Burt be satisfied with this answer?
[Hidden Information: This equipment is at the peak of the Diamond-Tier, close to Master-Tier equipment. By combining Dark Crystal and Ice Crystal, the probability of leveling it up to Master-Tier is high. By setting up the Wind Fury Array, the probability of leveling up to Master-Tier is higher. ]
There was indeed a problem.
It was not a simple Diamond-Tier equipment.
"I think..." Mike spoke partially about the hidden information that he had seen. "This is an equipment that can be upgraded to a higher quality. It's not just a simple Diamond-Tier weapon."
He raised his head to look at Burt, whose expression had changed.
Burt was shocked by Mike's words. Obviously, Mike was right, and what he said was beyond Burt's expectations.
"You really didn't cheat to get in?" Burt asked.
"No." Mike shook his head.
Burt didn't believe him before, but now he sort of believed him.
Burt hadn't shown this equipment to anyone. After all, it had just been forged not long ago and Mike could see through its uniqueness at a glance!
It was very likely that Mike was a person who understood equipment.
"Then, how do you think we should improve its quality?" Burt asked without much thought.
Burt regretted it after the question left his lips.
Wasn't he embarrassing Mike?
Even the other Blacksmiths would find it hard to give a correct answer, and only Burt should be the only one who knew how to upgrade it.
"I'm just asking, you don't have to answer," Burt said.
"I think..." Mike thought for a moment and chose to answer Burt's question. "There's a certain probability of upgrading it by fusing a Dark Crystal and an Ice Crystal."
Silence.
Then, Mike saw that Burt's expression looked like he had seen a ghost.
The answer... was correct.
Even famous Blacksmiths wouldn't be able to tell what materials to use to upgrade this equipment with one glance, right??
Burt himself had also researched for a long time before he found a suitable material.
However, Mike had understood it from just a glance?
"Is there a problem?" Mike felt uncomfortable being stared at.
"Who trained you? Where were you born?" Burt asked.
"Uh, Earth."
Mike saw that Burt didn't have any ill intentions and was willing to answer him.
"Not a Miracle native?"
Burt suddenly understood.
"No wonder, no wonder. Then it's normal that you're unfathomable. Every world and every era has a batch of incredible geniuses."
After hearing where Mike came from, Burt was relieved.
Although in Miracle, Mike was still very weak. Who knew how much growth he had had when he was on Earth?
He must have accumulated his abilities from when he was on Earth.
"Mike." Burt looked at Mike very seriously. "You are a person who knows about equipment. You came here because you want my legendary equipment, right?"
"I'm interested," Mike admitted.
"You have the right to see it," Burt said with a smile and stood up.
Following behind Burt, they reached the front of a wall. Burt reached out and touched it twice. The wall opened up like a door and a deep corridor was behind it.
Mike followed Burt to the end and the legendary equipment that Burt had forged was there.
"A ball of light?" That was the only thing Mike saw.
"It's formless." Burt explained. "It can take any form. This equipment has no level restrictions, no class restrictions, and its growth potential is limitless! As for the quality, it is of King-Tier. This is the first time I've forged a King-Tier equipment in my entire life. It's also the only King-Tier equipment that has been forged since the origins of life."
King-Tier!
No level restrictions, no class restrictions...
It can grow and its growth potential was limitless.
Tsk!
What's the difference from being invincible if he got his hands on this equipment?
"It's a pity." Burt shook his head. "This equipment hasn't been completely forged yet. There's still the final push."
"What does it need to be perfect?" Mike asked.
"I don't know," Burt said with even more regret in his voice. "If I knew, why would I be giving this equipment to others? I've already discovered that I'll never be able to perfect it with my talent. If anyone can perfect it and fulfill my wish, I'll give this equipment to them."
