Chapter 0006: The Thousand Machine Umbrella

However, its drawbacks are also quite evident: the Thousand Machine Umbrella possesses only basic attributes and lacks any additional features. Furthermore, level 5 is a fleeting rank that will quickly become outdated.

It could be a unique masterpiece that transcends epics, or it could be a unique piece of garbage

Thousand Machine Umbrella, Level 5

In low-tier dungeons like the Forest of Grimm, even the best equipment will quickly become obsolete, rendering it of little value. Aside from experience points, the most enticing aspect here is the materials dropped by hidden bosses, which will never go out of style. Even in older regions, high-level players bring newcomers to the Forest of Grimm to farm these materials by challenging the hidden bosses.

What is a "scattered person"? A scattered person is someone without a profession, but that was a matter of the past when the maximum level was 50. With the increase in level caps and the introduction of profession awakening quests, the playstyle of scattered persons has already disappeared. Today's players, upon seeing Jun Mo Xiao's set of skills, would not think of scattered persons at all; they would only find it amusing.

How should we allocate the hidden BOSS?" Ye Xiu asked.

Secondly, although levels below 20 are designed for players to experience all professions, from the moment players enter the game, they generally have a rough idea in mind, such as Mage, Swordsman, or Gunner. This overarching direction exists, but what about Ye Xiu's skill combinations and *maps*? They surprisingly span across all categories. Indeed, while learning skills below level 20 is unrestricted, their usage is limited due to weapon constraints

The Forest of the Green is a 5-person dungeon, with a level 5 entry requirement. Achievements above level 10 are invalid, meaning they cannot participate in various ranking comparisons. Since newcomers are randomly distributed, many players call their friends to join in the exploration, but they often cannot gather together at once. Most groups outside the dungeon are made up of random players. As Ye Xiu controlled the character Jun Mo Xiao and arrived, he had already received numerous invitations. Ye Xiu did not scrutinize them too carefully and simply joined a team that was only missing one member.

A widely circulated saying in Glory is: "Self-made equipment may not be the strongest, but the strongest equipment is certainly self-made"

Hover the mouse over

"All set, all set, all set." As soon as Ye Xiu entered the team, he saw the captain, named Yue Zhongmian, shouting in the group

The characteristics of homemade equipment determine that it is very difficult to replicate, with each piece being unique

If Chen Guo were awake, and if she understood the properties of the weapon, she would be able to make a judgment immediately

First, the low-level stage will soon pass. During this stage, it is completely unnecessary to meticulously match skills. Many people are simply blank and directly let others take them to level 20 for job change.

The number that can be transferred should be an empty number. The meaning of an empty number at https://www.hetushu.com is that experience, money, backpack, storage box, and including the mailbox, must all be empty

"Alright, if everything is ready, let's enter the instance." Yue Zhongmian said, and after receiving affirmative responses from everyone, they entered the instance.

Like the floating bullets of a sharpshooter, when you are wielding a swordsman-type weapon, it is simply impossible to use. Therefore, skills like those of Jun Mo Xiao require you to carry all types of weapons in your inventory, which is quite troublesome to switch back and forth. At the initial level of 20, encountering so much hassle is hardly worth the trouble, unless you are a once-popular solo player. Thus, skills like those of Jun Mo Xiao necessitate having all profession-type weapons in your inventory, and the constant switching is quite cumbersome. At the initial level of 20, dealing with so many complications is hardly a pleasant experience, unless you are a once-popular solo player.

However, the color of the characters on the Thousand Machine Umbrella is not white at all, but silver.

What about the Thousand Machine Umbrella? Is it garbage or a masterpiece?

No one knows what is going on, but it seems that everything was already anticipated by Ye Xiu. He knew that he could find this piece of equipment here; however, at the moment he found it, there was not a trace of joy on Ye Xiu's face, but rather it was filled with sorrow. His right hand, which moved the mouse, once again exhibited a rare tremor. The last time this happened was when he lost One Autumn Leaf; this time, it was when he was about to acquire this piece of equipment.

He then walked straight to the storage box in the warehouse, opened it, and to his surprise, there lay a piece of equipment inside

The Qianji Umbrella is truly a top-tier item, comparable to the finest books, and is an exceptional weapon that surpasses other orange weapons of the same level, much like the Xie Xie. With 180 physical and magical attack, it is equivalent to a level 10 orange weapon and is nearly the highest attacking orange weapon across all categories. However, the highest attacking weapons often come with significant weight and low attack speed. In contrast, the Qianji Umbrella is lightweight and boasts a normal attack speed of 5, which is more than sufficient to outperform even level 10 orange weapons.

The hidden BOSS can only be encountered in the dungeon when entering in team mode, and the system will provide players with a prompt at the moment of entry. The strength of the hidden BOSS is generally greater than that of the final BOSS of the dungeon, and it may drop equipment or items that ordinary BOSSes cannot produce.

The tier of glory equipment can be identified by the color of the text, which is categorized into orange, purple, blue, green, and white. White equipment has no additional attributes, green equipment is mostly transitional gear provided by quests, and blue equipment is guaranteed to drop from dungeon bosses, with some also available through quests, making it the most mainstream equipment. As for purple and orange equipment, they are considered high-end items, requiring either luck or money, and there must be some outstanding feature to have a chance of obtaining them

Ye Xiu, however, seemed not to have considered this point. Currently, Jun Mo Xiao only possesses a plain bronze sword, and when passing by the general store after learning the skills, Ye Xiu actually had him sell this sole weapon as well

The silver lettering of the Thousand Machine Umbrella does not belong to any of the five colors. If Chen Guo were awake at this moment and saw it, she would surely be astonished. Silver is a unique color for self-made equipment. Self-made equipment is a significant feature of Glory; it is not created through the life production skills in the game, but rather through an equipment editor within the game, representing high-end content

It's gone, so simple that it doesn't even have any additional attributes, it is simply like a blank weapon

It is evident that Yue Zhongmian is aware of this, so he quickly announced the distribution plan for the hidden BOSS, stating: "What drops from that thing is all money, so let's all roll the dice when it appears!"

Physical Attack 180; Magic Attack 180

Homemade equipment is precisely the existence that can surpass epic-level orange equipment. In the professional league, each club has dedicated teams researching homemade equipment, investing funds into its development. The renowned player One Autumn Leaf wields a homemade silver weapon, the Battle Spear of Evil! It is a weapon of great fame in Glory, unique and unparalleled.

"Hmm, quite idealistic!" From the casual remarks of Yue Zhongmian, it is evident that this person is not truly a novice; at the very least, he did not ask what a hidden BOSS is.

Where is the absurdity in the skill selection of Jun Mo Xiao

It can only be this way; if something good comes out, should it be for oneself? This is merely a makeshift team, with no justification whatsoever

Ye Xiu, however, did not pay attention to these matters, for he knew that this Thousand Machine Umbrella was indeed a creation of genius. Having undergone countless experiments and failures, achieving this fifth-level Thousand Machine Umbrella was already a tremendous success. The characteristic of self-made weapons lies in the ability to continuously improve once the ideas and plans are grasped; therefore, there is no concept of obsolescence for self-made weapons, as they can be continually enhanced through the equipment editor

A top-tier professional like Ye Xiu is fully capable of soloing this minor dungeon. His decision to form a team is specifically aimed at encountering the hidden boss that can only be faced in a group. This is because he needs the materials dropped by the hidden boss, which will undoubtedly be essential for further enhancing the Thousand Machine Umbrella. Ye Xiu is well aware that, compared to leveling up Jun Mo Xiao, upgrading the Thousand Machine Umbrella presents a greater challenge. He has decided to start working on both aspects from now on.

Ye Xiu gently took out the Thousand Machine Umbrella and placed it in Jun Mo Xiao's hands. "Let's begin!" he said softly, and then controlled Jun Mo Xiao to head towards the novice village's instance, the Green Forest, appearing as if Jun Mo Xiao had heard his words.

However, the account that has just transferred to Zone 10, named Jun Mo Xiao, surprisingly has an item of equipment hidden in its storage box

Ye Xiu had been wanting to speak to Chen Guo, who was sitting next to him, so he had not used the headset until now. At this moment, he put it on, and as soon as the dungeon started, he heard a voice shouting inside: "What the hell, what kind of luck is this? Just say 'hidden' and it becomes hidden?"
