YM778.TV Chapter 227 - Change
[The shop you were using before was the tutorial shop, of course there will be differences when you use the regular system shop…]
The missing target of mine was obviously…
"So, I can\'t buy \'Elemental Weapon Creation tickets\' anymore?"
[Not to mention that one, you can\'t buy creation tickets any longer, they were limited (one-time-bought) items that are put at a low price in the tutorial shop as freebies to support the newbie players after all.]
The shop was just too different from the one I checked before, not only did a lot of cheap items vanish, but some items that were still there had a higher price…
\'In that case…\'
I originally wanted to buy several such items to cheat my way into maximizing the use of \'Elemental Constitution\', but now that this loophole was closed, I could only…
"But, I can use the tickets I had from the first shopping round, right?"
[Of course!]
Just as he said that, the two tickets that I bought from the tutorial shop appeared before me…
Checking the one I cared about the most, I immediately used \'Eye of Knowledge\' to make sure it would work the way I expected it to…
[ \'Elemental Weapon Creation ticket\' (Special****)
Description: can be used to create an elemental conducting weapon.
**Special attribute: \'Weapon Type selection\'
**Special attribute: \'Conducting Element selection\' ]
Looking at it once again, I could only shake my head as the fact that one could only possess one such ticket seemed to be logical enough, or else players could easily dominate the elemental weapon conducting market if they could exchange one such weapon for only 300 points…
"I still have the same 24 hours time, right?"
[Yes, you do.]
Since I could still access the shop till then, I decided to start by using my tickets first.
"Create short sword, Lightning."
Tearing the ticket and using the familiar way I used on the skill creation ticket before, I waited for the result.
[ Elemental Weapon Creation ticket used, item creation in progress… ]
[ Congratulations! you have obtained the Unique item \'Lightning Fang\'. ]
A blue colored yet vicious looking short sword appeared before me, however, that didn\'t really matter as it was only a material for my \'Lightning Cloud\' to grow…
[ \'Lightning Fang\' (Unique)
Description: A shortsword made from the fangs of a lightning wyvern which baths in lightning source on a daily basis, crafted by an unknown yet great blacksmith.
* Item Ability - \'Lightning Conductance\' ]
The reason I chose a shortsword was obviously due to it being one of the last few sword forms that \'Lightning Cloud\' didn\'t have, all for the sake of \'Elemental Constitution\'!
[ A Sword type weapon (Shortsword) has been detected. ]
[ \'Lightning Fang\' (Unique) has been absorbed by \'Lightning Cloud\' (Unique****) ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' (Unique****) -> \'Lightning Cloud\' (Epic) ]
[ Item Skill - \'Elemental Constitution (Lightning)\' Added. ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has unlocked the (Shortsword) form… ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has advanced to the Epic grade! ]
[ Due to the grade upgrade, \'Lightning Cloud\' is no longer restricted as a \'Sword\'! ]
[ Item Skill - \'Transformation\' has evolved! ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has unlocked \'Cloud\' Phase! ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has unlocked \'Sword\' Phase! ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' (Epic)
Description:????
** Item Skill - \'Transformation\'
- Current Phases:
1st - \'Cloud\' (1)
2nd - \'Sword\' (5⇓)
** Item Skill - \'Elemental Constitution\' (Passive)
- Current elemental veins:
+ \'Lightning\'
+ \'Thunder\'
* Item Skill - \'Silence\' (Passive)
* Item Skill - \'Duplication\'. ]
\'As expected…\'
\'Lightning Cloud\' was no ordinary special weapon!
As soon as it absorbed \'Lightning Fang\' and the notifs rained at me, it lost its shape as it seemed to be changing its state from solid into gas without passing through the liquid state, forming a tiny little cloud that looked kind of… cute.
Using the \'Eye of Knowledge\' no longer showed the item\'s name as \'Lightning cloud Sword\', it now matched the name that was read through \'Weapon Resonance\'!
\'If it\'s no longer restricted…\'
Driven by my drive of curiosity and expectations, I opened the item list as I started browsing for my target.
\'Let\'s try this one.\'
[ \'Great Spear of Wind\' has been purchased - 3000 FSP consumed! ]
An elemental conducting weapon for only 3k points seemed to prove something, such an item was supposedly a rare item that should be expensive, which only meant that 3000 First Stage Points were just as precious, it was only because I had a very high sum of points that it felt somewhat cheap.
[ \'Great Spear of Wind\' (Special****)
Description: A Great Spear made for a great general from the materials he found by chance at the sky scraping mountain which had allowed him to fight his way to become revered as the Greatest War General in the continent.
* Item Ability - \'Wind Conductance\' ]
\'These descriptions are becoming too informative as of late…\'
Wondering how such strange historical relic items were put in the system shop, I brought the 2.6 meters long spear closer to the cute cloud shaped \'Lightning Cloud\' to test my guesses…
[ A Spear type weapon (Great Spear) has been detected. ]
[ \'Great Spear of Wind\' (Special****) has been absorbed by \'Lightning Cloud\' (Epic) ]
[ Item Skill - \'Elemental Constitution (Wind)\' Added. ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has unlocked the \'Spear\' Phase! ]
[ \'Lightning Cloud\' has unlocked the (Great Spear) form… ]
\'It actually worked!\'
\'Lightning Cloud\' was truly an unrestricted item! It actually followed the cloud part in its name to describe how it was shapeless and free as a cloud was.
Thinking about this, and about my game origin, then this sword was more likely to be one of the Lightning Empire\'s heritages, and the only reason it would be in sword form when I received it was probably due to the earlier user only unlocking its one edged katana shape, or due to it being binded to its user.
\'I may have had to start its development from the beginning because I\'m a new owner…\'
The cloud phase was more likely to have other uses than just being cute as well, while the sword\'s actual grade was unlikely to be only epic, it was just that I had yet to make it reach its true and final form...
