Free Web NovelChapter 12: Chapter 12: [Simple Communication Wristband (White)]
Ye Yun’s reappearance sent the public channel into a frenzy.
[It’s the pro, Ye Yun!]
[Good morning, pro!]
[Brother Ye, have you figured out some secret to crafting items? Can you share it?]
[Yeah, share it! We can all improve together!]
[Master Ye, both of my bionics have gone missing. Can I bring my construction robot and join your shelter?]
...
Ye Yun was well aware that the more you talk, the more you risk giving away.
There were a full 100 million shelter managers just like him.
He never subscribed to the idea that having a special ability made him the destined protagonist, smarter and more capable than everyone else.
If he said too much and someone with ulterior motives managed to dig up some of his secrets, that would be bad.
From his perspective, his advice had been more than sufficient.
As long as they followed his advice—don’t let the bionics stay outside the shelter for too long, and equip them with weapons if possible—they could probably return safely even if they encountered danger, suffering at most a bit of durability loss.
As for those know-it-alls, if they died, they died. What did that have to do with him?
Ye Yun certainly didn’t feel he had an obligation to help them just because they were all human.
Ye Yun:
[While there are a lot of people online, I’m looking to buy another batch of weapon blueprints. Blueprints are only going to become more common, so their price will inevitably drop.]
[If you’re willing to sell, add me as a friend and send a private message.]
[Also, I’m buying [Severely Damaged Construction Robots (Green)].]
[Oh, and I won’t tolerate idle chat or harassment. I’ll block you immediately if you try.]
After typing out his final warning, Ye Yun closed the public chat room.
Just like last time, his friend requests immediately shot up to 99+.
Ye Yun accepted them all, then began to go through the messages one by one.
Perhaps blocking a few hundred people on the last two occasions had finally worked, because the number of harassing messages was significantly lower this time.
As for those who added him but didn’t say anything, Ye Yun didn’t block them.
After all, the system’s friend list had no limit. As long as they weren’t wasting his time, he couldn’t be bothered to remove them.
[Brother Ye, are you buying White-rarity melee weapons? A [Rusted Iron Rod (White)] for just 200 White components!]
Ye Yun clicked on it, then curled his lip. The weapon was decent, but the price was too high. He ignored it.
[Brother Ye Yun...]
[Pro Ye Yun, I’ve got a Blue blueprint here, absolutely top-tier stuff. See what you think it’s worth! [Fortress T101 Ballistic Armor (Blue) Crafting Blueprint]]
[Fortress T101 Ballistic Armor (Blue) Crafting Blueprint]
[Description: The crafting blueprint for Fortress T101 Ballistic Armor. Can be combined with the corresponding basic components to produce Fortress T101 Ballistic Armor.]
He clicked open the message and couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. ’Damn, this guy’s luck is insane!’
’With not even a single White blueprint on the exchange, this person had actually managed to get a Blue equipment blueprint?’
To say Ye Yun wasn’t tempted would be a lie.
But then he looked at the [Damaged .32 Handgun (Green)] in his production list and felt his spirits sink.
’It’s definitely a great item, but in my current situation, I’m not even confident I can produce a Green weapon, let alone Blue armor.’
Still, now that he’d seen it, he couldn’t just let it go without asking the price.
Ye Yun:
[What’s the price?]
Zhang Yue:
[I don’t need to tell you how rare Blue blueprints are right now. I’m not asking for much, just 150 Green components.]
Ye Yun rubbed his eyes. He thought he’d seen an extra zero.
But he quickly realized he hadn’t misread it. The asking price really was 150 Green components.
Seeing that price, the corner of Ye Yun’s mouth twitched. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
’The item’s great, but that price is absurd.’
’Besides, what makes them think I have 150 Green components???’
Ye Yun:
[I’m out!]
Zhang Yue:
[Don’t say it’s too expensive, pro. Once you get the blueprint, you can start producing and selling Blue armor. It’s a guaranteed high-return business.]
In that instant, Ye Yun was certain that this person had never used a blueprint above White rarity. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have said something like that.
Forget Blue blueprints; most people couldn’t even gather the components for a Green one right now.
This thing was simply impossible for any manager to produce at the current stage.
Ye Yun:
[It’s a good item, but a Blue blueprint is far beyond anyone’s current capabilities.]
[If the price were lower, I’d bite the bullet and buy it as an early investment, but it’s just too high right now. I honestly can’t afford it.]
Zhang Yue:
[130 Green components. Can’t go any lower. This is very likely the first Blue armor blueprint to appear, so its value is extraordinary.]
Ye Yun:
[Friend, I’m really not trying to haggle. Just hold onto it for now. I’ll contact you again when I have the means to buy it.]
After a fair bit of back-and-forth, Ye Yun finally managed to get rid of them.
「Eight hours later.」
The dust-covered No. 1 and No. 2 returned to the shelter.
Ye Yun performed his customary inspection. His eyes quickly lit up at what they had brought back.
[Simple Communication Wristband (White) Crafting Blueprint]
[Description: The crafting blueprint for the Simple Communication Wristband (White). Can be combined with the corresponding basic components to produce the Simple Communication Wristband (White).]
Although it was only a White-rarity item, it was a blueprint, after all. Ye Yun learned it without a second thought.
[Simple Communication Wristband (White)]
[Production Requirements]:
[Power: 10] [10/10]
[Construction Robot: 1] [1/1]
[Basic Component Requirements]:
[Broken Alarm Clock] x2 [2/2]
[Chipped Magnifying Glass] x1 [1/1]
[Rusted Communication Chip] x1 [1/1]
[Damaged Wooden Handle (White)] x1 [1/1]
[Damaged Iron Wire (White)] x2 [2/2]
[You have obtained all the basic components for this blueprint. Produce [Simple Communication Wristband (White)]?]
Ye Yun didn’t rush to press confirm.
After waiting a moment, the interface for his assessment system appeared before his eyes.
[Assessment Type: Production Crafting]
[Assessing production risk...]
[Item for production: [Simple Communication Wristband (White)]]
[Assessment: 100% chance to obtain a White item. Risk: 15%]
Ye Yun skillfully adjusted the formula. Soon,
[Assessment Type: Production Crafting]
...
[Assessment: 100% chance to obtain a White item. Risk: 0%]
The construction robot quickly got to work.
[Simple Communication Wristband (White)]
[Description: After putting it on, input a designated code to engage in short-range communication.]
Reading the item’s description, Ye Yun curled his lip. ’What’s the point of this??’
’It can only be used for short-range communication?’
’If he wanted to communicate with other managers, couldn’t he just open the chat room?’
