Chapter 1287 What Dropped?

"What all dropped?"

On Happy's side, the one who ultimately killed the Boss Dragon Swordsman was none other than an elite member of the team. Right now, they were gathered around the Dragon Swordsman's corpse, looking at the materials that had slipped out from the corpse and onto the ground, feeling quite nervous and expectant.

Guan Rongfei's joining had allowed Happy's equipment development to completely get on the right track. Although he would have preferred to focus on the research of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, after working with the team for so many years, he was still clear on what his duties were. The silver equipment development for all of Happy's classes needed him to take on the responsibility.

Based on the various materials that Happy currently had, Guan Rongfei had already put together a variety of plans. And Happy's large amount of level 75 materials opened his eyes. Happy definitely couldn't compare to Jia Shi in terms of materials before level 70, and Happy also couldn't compare to other club guilds in terms of ordinary level 75 materials, but when it came to the rare materials produced by level 75 wild map Bosses, Happy suddenly seemed high-end. During the level 75 major update, Happy had already established a considerable position on the wild map Boss battlefield in the Heavenly Domain, enriching the inventories of the four guilds: Yi Zhan, He Wu, Zhao Hua, and Yue Yun. Furthermore, with Wu Chen joining, Happy's own guild gradually developed, and Ye Xiu and the others naturally relied less and less on the manpower of those four guilds, and more and more on enriching their own inventory.

The accumulation of materials was like a pyramid for each guild, with the more high-end ones being scarcer. On Happy's side, it couldn't be said that it was completely reversed, but at least in terms of the proportion of inventory, they completely crushed all the professional clubs.

What did this situation mean? Guan Rongfei, as a professional, was of course very clear. It meant that Happy might not be able to catch up with the top-tier powerhouses in terms of the overall quantity of silver equipment in the short term, but when it came to the number of level 75 silver equipment, Happy was probably not inferior to any of them. Don't look at how everyone already had level 75 silver equipment while Happy still didn't have a single piece, but that was only because Happy's own level 70 silver equipment was already scarce, and they didn't have a professional like Guan Rongfei before.

Wei Chen and Ye Xiu... Wei Chen's research was more limited to the Warlock class, and was mostly based on empiricism, lacking theoretical support, so it was more difficult to generalize. As for Ye Xiu, his knowledge reserves in this area were more comprehensive than Wei Chen's, but a person's energy was ultimately limited. Just the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella alone had already made him dizzy with indecision, and on top of that, he had to study tactics, observe the growth of others, and various battles in the online game every day, so he really couldn't handle everything. Therefore, for the level 75 equipment field, which was completely blank before, Ye Xiu simply didn't spend too much energy on research.

But Guan Rongfei's arrival completely liberated Ye Xiu from this aspect. With this kind of dedicated personnel, the progress of equipment research also sped up a lot. After thoroughly studying the existing data of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, Guan Rongfei couldn't wait to upgrade this equipment, and also had various exaggerated and monstrous ideas.

For this raid on the Dragon Swordsman, Guan Rongfei had made specific demands.

髓Tǐ Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ! (Spinal Cord of the Dragon)

This was the material that Guan Rongfei had specifically requested. Originally, Happy's inventory already had four of these materials, but Guan Rongfei said that this was far from enough.

"Four is not enough, what are you going to use this for?" Ye Xiu had asked.

"Umbrella ribs." This was Guan Rongfei's answer.

"Umbrella ribs..." Guan Rongfei's boldness exceeded Ye Xiu's imagination. The umbrella ribs were the supports for the umbrella surface of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and required a large quantity. This component had always been borne by ordinary materials. But how domineering was Guan Rongfei? This guy actually wanted to use rare materials for this part, could it be that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella would be entirely made of level 75 rare materials at level 75?

"Isn't this too extravagant? Is it necessary to do this?" Ye Xiu was a little puzzled. Rare materials were often only used for a few important parts of a piece of silver equipment, and no silver equipment had ever been entirely made of rare materials.

"It must be this way." Guan Rongfei's tone was quite affirmative. "The structure of this equipment is very complex, far beyond ordinary equipment. You should have already discovered as you upgraded it that the higher the level, the more rare materials it needs. Because if you don't improve the quality of the materials, there's no way to support the further increase in power of such a complex structure."

"Are you sure it's just because of this? And not because our level 75 material reserves are not bad, so you want to take the opportunity to create a gorgeous silver equipment entirely made of rare materials?" Ye Xiu said suspiciously.

"This is only the third reason." Guan Rongfei said.

The third reason... This guy actually had such a thought, Ye Xiu was just about to earnestly educate him when Guan Rongfei opened his mouth again, "There's also a second reason: doing this is relatively economical."

"Economical?" Ye Xiu thought he had misheard.

"Yes, if you insist on using a mix of materials, I have no objection, but this will inevitably require more research to make choices. The material requirements for the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella are several times that of ordinary equipment, so the choices we face are even more complex. Moreover, the types of ordinary materials are far more numerous than rare materials. If a mistake is made in the selection of an ordinary material, the overall waste caused will also be several times that of other equipment." Once Guan Rongfei started talking about equipment, he talked eloquently, completely different from his absent-mindedness in other matters.

When Ye Xiu heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense. In the final analysis, it was still because level 75 had only been released for half a year, unlike level 70 materials, which had been studied by people for three years. In addition, the complexity of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was extraordinary, so it would indeed be more difficult to face this brand new upgrade.

But...

"Is it really necessary to use rare materials so extravagantly?" Ye Xiu said.

"I think this is a more stable approach." Guan Rongfei said.

"Are the existing level 75 rare materials enough to support the upgrade of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella?" Ye Xiu asked. Currently, there were a total of eight level 75 wild map Bosses, and the materials, whether in terms of type or quantity, were far less prosperous than the level 70 rare materials. There were more than 20 level 70 wild map Bosses.

"Don't underestimate rare materials!" Guan Rongfei said seriously in a very sacred tone.

"Then I'll listen to you... What ideas do you have now?" Ye Xiu asked.

And so, Ye Xiu obtained the list of materials required for Guan Rongfei's current research progress. Because they had accumulated for more than half a year, many materials were readily available, except for this 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ...

"12." Guan Rongfei said he needed 12, as if it were as simple as asking for 12 matches.

"Shouldn't there be 8 umbrella ribs?" Ye Xiu asked, trying to hold back.

"But in the case of 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ, 12 are needed." Guan Rongfei's answer was like saying nothing, but Ye Xiu already understood that he meant that this material was different from the previous ones, perhaps in length or volume, but in short, 12 were needed to do what 8 of other materials could do.

"Don't underestimate rare materials?" Ye Xiu asked back, using Guan Rongfei's words.

"Worth the price." Guan Rongfei said.

And now, they had finally snatched the Dragon Swordsman, so how about the 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ? Did they get any? They were still lacking a full 8, and this Boss only appeared once a week, and they wouldn't necessarily be able to snatch it every time, and even if they did, it wouldn't necessarily drop this material...

How many years had it been since Ye Xiu had felt the kind of eagerness and anticipation when opening a Boss in an online game? And this time, he deeply felt it.

With the ground full of materials, Wu Chen took a deep breath and stepped forward to start picking them up. Currently, he was the only one who was permanently stationed in the online game. The others only logged in with these alt characters to enter the online game to fight when needed. The other times, they used their professional characters to practice and spar in the arena. And for some fixed training subjects, Guan Rongfei had already created special training programs. It was much more efficient than finding conditions for training in the online game before.

At this time, the words of Wu Chen picking up things flashed across the team channel one after another.

碧Bì云Yún砂Shā (Azure Cloud Sand), 焚Fén天Tiān布Bù (Sky Burning Cloth), 山Shān海Hǎi冰Bīng (Mountain Sea Ice)...

One by one, the materials picked up by Wu Chen jumped into everyone's eyes. These were undoubtedly quite precious level 75 rare materials, but at this time, everyone turned a blind eye to them. Until everyone finally saw those four words that everyone was looking forward to.

"剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ!" Chen Guo shouted out the first time, but they were still short seven.

"Another one!" Chen Guo decisively called out again.

The number of materials dropped was very high, so it wasn't uncommon for several of the same material to drop at once. At this time, everyone couldn't wait for eight 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ to drop at once to their heart's content.

"Three!" As a result, Chen Guo quickly called out again, but after all, she didn't click to pick up as fast as Ye Xiu, so when she shouted this, everyone had already seen the words "剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ was picked up" rolling onto the screen twice. Four 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ had already dropped.

Were there any more?

Everyone looked at the ground, and the number of materials was not much.

Wu Chen's clicks were still fast, and the few materials on the ground were quickly swept away. Chen Guo had been counting out loud before, but because she couldn't keep up with the speed, she stopped speaking after three. Everyone watched the team channel together, watching 剔Tī髓Suǐ龍Lóng脊Jǐ appear again, and then appear again.

"Isn't it really going to drop eight so exaggeratedly?" Wei Chen was already stunned.

The fact was finally not so exaggerated. In the end, six 剔Tī髓Su髓龍Lóng脊Jǐ dropped.

"Alas, only six." Ye Xiu said regretfully.

Everyone was speechless. Because they frequently swept wild map Bosses, they were quite familiar with the drops of wild map Bosses. It was not uncommon for the same material to drop two or three times, and they had barely seen four or five times, but this was the first time they had seen six drop at once, right? They really shouldn't still feel regret, and they shouldn't have used the modifier "only".

The harvest ended, and Ye Xiu and the others logged off their characters on the spot, while Wu Chen carried the materials and returned to the main city with the other guild players to continue carrying out other work in the online game.

This summer will not be easy either!

Ye Xiu, who had temporarily withdrawn, opened a document with all the material requirements opened by Guan Rongfei. 剔Tī髓Su髓龍Lóng脊Jǐ, Ye Xiu changed the number 8 behind it to 2, but this little change could not stop the dazzling array of this document.
