Chapter 224 Mithril

When Ye Ci logged off it was still too early for dinner, so she took the opportunity to take a shower as Bai Mo was still logged into the ga room by the time she was done with her shower Ye Nan Tian and Zuo Xiaolan were still online, probably still thinking about how they could recoup so her hair She snuck a peek at Bai Mo; his face was very serene It was so serene that one was unable to tell what he was thinking Not a as spoken, as they sat there in silence, accoround noise froe at silence, “Was the result exactly as we expected?”

“Yes, and” Ye Ci hesitated, her voice ultiness

“Thousand Sunsets is also involved in this” Bai Mo laughed He had already predicted this would happen It was not possible that a girl as so powerless and broke had the ability to cover up a fight to the point where even Bai Zixuan could not find out anything

“You seem to have expected this” Ye Ci did not find Bai Mo’s ability to predict as going to happen strange at all Bai Mo’s father was an official in a neighbouring city His position wasn’t insignificant and had been rising steadily Ever since Bai Mo’s youth, it could be said that Bai Mo had grown up surrounded by the children of other officials

Ye Ci knew that Bai Mo had a past she knew very little of She similarly had a past that Bai Mo did not know of either When they’re together, they are just siblings, but when apart, only they themselves knohat sort of demons they are

She could tell that soround would definitely not be a coddled boy that had not experienced the world Ye Ci did not know the other side of Bai Mo, nor did she want to know

The only thing she needed to knoas that Bai Mo treated her well, and that was all

“Green Hill’s Moon told ently coht smile on her face, “the end is stereotypical but the process is very dramatic”

“Well, spit it out I’arettes, and began lighting one up with practiced ether for such a long ti his practiced ested otherwise

The corners of her lips were raised slightly, and she proceeded to tell Green Moon Hill’s long boring story to Bai Mo He did not say a word fro to end,the story, he laughed, “no wonder you said it was boring This story is indeed very bland” Saying so, he pursed his lips, “I see whyhere in person is better than district istrate for this case”

“What do you want to do?” Ye Ci suddenly asked

Bai Mo shook his head, “You don’t have to worry about it” So her know

Ye Ci sa reluctant Bai Mo was to tell her, so she did not pry any further, only passing on the words of warning froround is not er just a ht be hard to deal with hi their empire Youthat he did not want to continue this conversation Thus, Ye Ci did not let a single word slip past her lips regarding the topic

“Clear Moon ood enchanted the topic of the conversation

“What recipe?” Right now, Clear Moon was the only high leveled Blacksuild The number of his creations nus that he e amount of money at the auction, and was now one of the financial supports of Upwards Ho!

“It’s a plating that adds 38 Strength and 50 Accuracy to a weapon with an additional rando the recipe a secret” Once Bai Mo started speaking of er stiff, but after he reported the stats of the arhed, “there is a material we are short on Even if it is Upwards Ho!, there are only two in the entire guild”

Ye Ci raised her eyebrows after she realised what iteh she rarely took note of as in the guild warehouse, once Bai Mo mentioned how rare the item was, she immediately knew At the et, but not how i about hed

“Yeah It really wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call you a god; no inally wanted it to be a surprise but ould have thought that Ye Ci immediately said the name of the ite encyclopedia If Bai Mo was the one who had reincarnated instead, he would know about it too After all, it was due to this itee almost caused the end of Fate

Mithril was an extreht and sturdy, but reatly increase one’s attributes The mithril itself did not co glass which could amplify the effects of equipment Equipment with the fire attribute crafted froe amplified ed with mithril, the equipment’s Holy attribute would be increased as well

Most importantly, after the release of the new expansion “New Continent”, players will begin to realise the importance of mithril

By that tiear dropped froeons required the player to wear a mithril shirt in order to be equipped As the number of players that reached lvl70 increased, and eons, there would be an explosive growth in de able to equip lvl70 gear, it was ieons It was in this way that the use of mithril increased exponentially

It was precisely because of this exponential need that alht Ye Ci to herself, the introduction of the roup of top-tier players Who would’ve thought that it abused by Golden Age instead Their action alh the use of reat, but…after all, it was a rare iteet, not some rubbish on the side of the road Until this day, eons No one knehere else it could be obtained

Of course, of course, in the current gah life skills in large guilds that understand the rarity and usefulness of mithril To ordinary players, they have not even heard of it, let alone comprehend its uses

But, can eons?

Of course not, otherwise if it was only obtainable as drops froe use it to do such heaven defying things? Mithril, a rare and precious ore, was right under everyone’s nose the entire ti as it is an ore, no matter how precious it is, there must be a ore vein If there is an ore vein, then there must be a mine where it can be found

Mithril is not an exception

This is how the ganed In the entirety of Fate, there are only four mithril veins spread across the North, South, East and West continents This has not changed Even after ten years, when new areas and continents had been opened, this would not change It was originally designed this way so that the starting four continents would always have players even after later expansions

Only ould have thought that after the appearance of Golden Age, they ed to find the locations of all four veins, and sent out players to protect each one Thus, they held a monopoly over mithril

Once they established a monopoly, the price of e They raised the price sky high While players froeons all day just to obtain a few pieces of uild were left at the , they had to earn money to buy the rare ore

The nuher than those ere part of a guild With the fluctuation in the prices of mithril, many solo players were forced into the profession of Life Players With the drastic increase of Life Players, the e nu becore due to the low prices, players were forced to real world cash into the gae was the sole cause of such a scary chain of events Instead of using their usual strategy of using overwhele eainst Fate They seized control of the econoas had alnan stepped forith detered to turn the tables despite the pressure frory players It was a story that would later be circulated in the Glory Corporation in Ye Ci’s past life She herself heard the story from one of the e, but those that had not experienced it would not kno the dark stor to the story, it is only a story, but to those who have experienced it, it was a memory that made people tremble in fear

Ye Ci took a deep breath She did not want to remember that storreatest test of one’s huht that er becaame Was she not one of those people in her past life?

“What’s the drop rate like?” Ye Ci retracted her faraway thoughts and asked Bai Mo

“Forget about it, the drop rate is awful! When the first of them dropped, I noticed that is was a Purple e, I could do nothing but place it into the guild storage I’ve forgotten all about it until Clear Moon rushed up tothe recipe for it It was only at that time that I realised what mithril could be used for, so ever since then I have been carefully collecting it, but the drop rate is just too low We’ve been clearing dungeons for half a year already but only found five pieces Of those five, I’ve given Clear Moon three pieces and the other two are in storage as a decoration” Once this topic was hed She did not tell Bai Mo that it was iather mithril She also did not tell him that she knew the location of not only the mithril vein in the East Continent, but also the location of the veins on the other three continents as well

It was better to pretend to find these things by chance Only, she had to hurry, as Golden Age would soon enter Fate If she waited until they entered Fate to do it, then itwill happen when the ti like this, then thereis very precious now; its a waste to use it on lvl30-40 weapons Isn’t it better for everyone to reach lvl60 and then use it on lvl60 weapons?” Ye Ci explained After all, these kind of things cannot be rushed

Bai Mo took a deep breath and nodded

After finding out about how Dong Yin and Thousand Sunsets had worked together to beat Ye Ci, up, he was exceptionally cal had happened at all As Ye Ci had already gave her pro Yin and Thousand Sunsets, she naturally would not ask about it She only considered how could she use so people For exae Although it was very satisfying at the time, it created a lot of problems for her, and was unable to harm them More importantly, if she pulled too ainst her

This time, what Ye Ci wanted was complete elimination

Until that tith, waiting until the opportunity arose

Golden Age would soon arrive But before they cauild would still live their everyday life No one would have trouble eating or sleeping because of this news They were all living their own life Upwards Ho! would continue, as would Ye Ci

It was also worth anised a player photography competition There were two types: video and photo All players could contribute There were three prizes for draory and the photo category likewise had three prizes for scenery, people, and other photos that did not fall into these categories, the anised to test the waters, and thus did not give the players anisers did not expect that so many players would participate, nor did they expect the level of exciteanisers to consider continuing this competition the next year Of course, this all happened later

More importantly, in this year’s competition, the entries were truly a feast for the eyes

According to statistics, there were hundreds of thousands of entries for the video category alone, and there were several anisers had to hire a huge panel of judges to look at these entries, and took a whole teeks to finally choose a winner

The ory was of course draedies The skill subcategory cas of duels between experts Although the nuh as that of the drama entries, they were still well liked After all, experts were few and far between, and there are even fewer videos of spars As for pro coory, the ory, ht to advertise themselves with beautiful pictures Next was the scenery type In Fate, not everyone aih as possible, or aimed to become an expert, but rather to explore the n in Fate is indeed very iraveyard could be stunning

As the saying goes: the world never lacks beauty; only people to appreciate it

And these players did appreciate it They roaerous or how barren a map can be, they have been there and seen it all The players, and even the game developers themselves, were stunned by the impressive scenery offered by the different maps in Fate

It was precisely because of this that most of the co for the coordinates of these places It seeo experience such a wonderful place theory not as popular as the video category The miscellaneous type of photos were even less popular than the people and scenery subcategories However, the results were a bit strange this year The ory was actually very popular, so popular in fact that it even diverted attention away froory
