Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 76 An Inspiration from an Umbrella: Su Muqiu: I've Got It!

"You said it yourself! Tell me what materials you need first!" Duan Lingxi's eyes shone brightly.

Su Muqiu made it for her for free, so of course she was happy.

After all, I heard that it costs tens of thousands to have Su Muqiu forge a silver weapon.

That's no small amount!

"I'll give you a list later. As long as you collect enough materials, I can forge one for you. I can't guarantee that the quality will be very high, but it will definitely be much better than an orange weapon."

Forging top-grade silver weapons requires too many materials and too complicated procedures.

Currently, Su Muqiu has only crafted Ye Qiu's Evil-Repelling Spear, which is a top-grade silver weapon; the other silver weapons he has crafted are just average.

Silver weapons that enter the market are only two levels stronger than orange weapons of the same level.

However, Ye Qiu's Evil-Repelling Spear is more than four levels stronger than orange-tier weapons of the same level.

This is the difference between two silver weapons.

"We have it too?" Duan Fei's face lit up with ecstasy in an instant.

Putting aside the fact that owning a silver weapon is such an honorable thing for a Glory player.

Just considering the value of a silver weapon, it's worth tens of thousands!
That's an average person's annual salary!
As it turned out, Su Muqiu just gave it to him without hesitation; that was really too good to be true.

Hearing Su Muqiu's words, Ye Qiu secretly shook his head.

Su Muqiu is too upright and too kind.

This is actually very bad; kind people are the most easily hurt.

In his previous life, Ye Qiu learned a principle of being a good person.

That means being eight parts kind to others, but also keeping two parts of your sharpness to yourself.

Of course, Su Muqiu's kindness to others is a good thing, but it just makes him prone to being taken advantage of.

But since he was willing, Ye Qiu couldn't say anything.

All he could do was prevent him from taking advantage of Su Muqiu's kindness.

With Su Muqiu's silver weapon providing protection, the Happy team members were incredibly enthusiastic in the game, not only during matches but also in general.

As soon as a world boss appears, they rush in to grab it immediately, they're incredibly eager.

Time flies by, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's been exactly six months since Honor of Kings launched.

On this day, Honor Games underwent its fifth maintenance update.

This update mainly fixes some bugs in the Honor of Kings game, and also adjusts the requirements and difficulty of crafting weapons.

Someone reported to the authorities that some people were forging several pieces of silver equipment a month to sell for money, which was unfair.

They say that if this continues, silver equipment will become too common in the game.

Therefore, we request that Honor officially adjust the difficulty of self-made equipment.

This suggestion actually started being reported as early as the second month after Honor of Kings launched.

Their motive for reporting was simple: they were envious of Su Muqiu, a master craftsman who made money by forging silver weapons.

They don't have the technology. They can't forge silver weapons to make money, and naturally, they don't want others to make money through this game feature.

However, Honor's custom equipment system has always been the biggest feature of Honor games, a function that other traditional games do not have.

Many players come to Honor of Kings specifically for this reason, so the official Honor team has consistently ignored this feedback.

However, as the Honor of Kings game has developed better and better, more and more players have started to study silver weapons.

Players who file complaints receive thousands of complaint text messages every day.

Therefore, after discussions among a group of technical experts from Honor, it was ultimately decided to adjust the difficulty of self-made equipment and increase the material requirements.

This would indeed help curb the problem of excessive silver plating.

But this update is bad news for blacksmith players with mediocre skills.

But for a top-tier blacksmith like Su Muqiu, this is a blessing!

Although the difficulty was increased, it was no challenge for Su Muqiu.

Although it increases the demand for materials, it also reduces the number of competitors. If there are no competitors in this field, wouldn't that mean he can dominate and directly monopolize the market?
Therefore, this update is good news for Su Muqiu and Ye Qiu.

"Let's go! We can't log into the game today because of the update, so let's go get some barbecue and go to karaoke!"

Ye Qiu greeted the members of Team Happy.

"The captain's treating today, so we have to eat and sing well and not save the captain any money," Duan Lingxi said with a grin.

They've been with Happy for over two months now, and have already become close friends with Ye Qiu and the others.

So there's no need to worry about tact when speaking. Between friends, jokes can be made freely.

On the other hand, Duan Lingxi wasn't the type to be polite; she'd always been a very easygoing person.

"Eat as much as you want! I'm just worried your stomachs are too small to hold it all!" Ye Qiu laughed heartily. He really liked Duan Lingxi's cheerful and straightforward personality.

The kind of gloomy girl who doesn't say a word all day, you have no idea what she's thinking. She doesn't tell you anything and makes you guess.

She just sulked, neither explaining nor saying a word.

When you ask her why she's angry again, she can just reply with, "You know that."

The group arrived at the food street with smiles, ate barbecue, and drank beer.

Then we went to a KTV to eat fruit platters, drink fruit wine, and sing.

The expenses for one night amounted to more than two thousand.

That's equivalent to a white-collar worker's monthly salary.

However, this expense was nothing to Ye Qiu.

In the past six months, he and Su Muqiu have earned nearly 800,000 yuan by selling silver armor.

After paying taxes, each person still has an income of 300,000.

Then, you can grind dungeons and fight bosses every day in the game, and get other rewards.

I also made tens of thousands selling equipment and materials.

Ye Qiu also made over 100,000 yuan selling strategy guides.

In addition, the performance bonuses that Xingxin Internet Cafe gave him and Su Muqiu over the past six months amounted to about 300,000 yuan.

Now that the internet cafe competition has started, the computers at Happy Internet Cafe are basically full 24/7.

Xingxin Internet Cafe has a total of 1168 computers.

The first floor has 800 computers, and the second floor has private rooms and luxury booths with 368 computers.

With 800 computers on the first floor fully booked every day, including those operating overnight, the daily income is approximately 30,000 yuan.

The private rooms and booths on the second floor are more expensive. Although there are only 368 computers, they can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a day when they are full.

In this way, the daily revenue from internet fees alone would reach 70,000 yuan, and the monthly turnover would reach 2 million yuan!
This doesn't even include income from food items such as drinking water, snacks, and coffee.

Of course, internet cafes also have high costs.

The water and electricity bills for an internet cafe can easily reach 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a month. Then there are the costs of computer maintenance, employee salaries, accident compensation, and so on, all of which are significant expenses.

But after a month, the net profit was nearly one million.

This is the effect of being incredibly popular!

This is also the source of revenue that Chen Taohai most expects from the internet cafe, and it is the reason and expectation that led him to agree to cooperate with Ye Qiu.

The internet cafe has now achieved its maximum profit.

According to the contract, he would also give Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu a performance bonus of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan each month.

Over the course of six months, Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu had each received around 300,000 yuan in commissions.

So now Ye Qiu has nearly one million in savings in his bank account.

These days, someone who can come up with a million is considered a small-time millionaire.

Interest rates are high now; a million yuan deposited in a bank can earn nearly ten thousand yuan in interest per month.

With this interest, Ye Qiu could squander it all. Occasionally treating his brothers to a meal, drinks, and some fun would be a piece of cake!
Moreover, they've earned quite a bit of money from playing matches over the past two months.

Anyway, the thing Ye Qiu has plenty of right now is money.

However, he couldn't lay a hand on him.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Glory Professional League will be launched in two years at the latest.

Establishing a professional esports team will require a significant amount of money.

To improve a team, you might need to invest tens of millions.

When you calculate it like this, the economy is still tight!
After everyone finished singing, it was already 2:30 a.m.

Just then, a torrential downpour began, and everyone quickly bought umbrellas from a nearby convenience store before heading back to the internet cafe in the rain.

However, looking at the umbrella in his hand, Su Muqiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Everyone put away their umbrellas and returned to the internet cafe when they suddenly heard Su Muqiu shout, "I've got it!!"
