The King's Avatar: Su Muqiu Returns to Revitalize Excellent Era

"What's going on?" Guan Rongfei from Happy also opened an account and came over to take stock of the materials.

As the only bigwig in Happy's technical department, Guan Rongfei now has an astonishing amount of authority; he has access to almost all of Happy's team's materials.

Guan Rongfei's arrival finally put Team Happy's silver equipment development work on track. Having worked for Team Excellent Era for so many years, he was very aware of the heavy responsibility of his position. He was responsible for developing silver equipment for all classes within Team Happy.

"The dragon's spine has exploded!"

Ye Xiu's exclamation came through the earphones.

The Dragon Spine of the Refined Marrow is an essential material for upgrading the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella to level 75. Using the Dragon Spine of the Refined Marrow to make the ribs of the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella will make the umbrella more stable and have higher attributes.

The Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella is a weapon that relies heavily on rare materials; a single rib requires twelve Dragon Spine Ribs. Based on the current value of level 75 rare materials, the materials needed for just one rib are worth over 100,000.

"Azure Cloud Sand! This is a top-grade material for adding attributes to weapons; many attack effects can utilize this material."

"Brahma Cloth! This is a material for cloth armor classes; I'll keep it to make clothes for warlocks or priests."

"Mountain and Sea Ice! This is a top-grade material for ice elemental mages. It's a pity we don't have any elemental mages here."

One by one, materials were called out by Guan Rongfei, and his voice came through the earphone to Su Muqiu's ears, as well as Qiu Fei's ears.

"Ah, Guan Rongfei went to Happy too!" Qiu Fei exclaimed.

Guan Rongfei is the number one tech geek in Team Excellent Era, so Qiu Fei naturally knows him too.

"Is he that amazing?" Su Muqiu could tell from Qiu Fei's surprised tone that Guan Rongfei must be quite extraordinary.

"Very impressive," Su Mucheng said. "Ye Xiu once said that Guan Rongfei is definitely in the top three among all the technical staff in the Glory Alliance."

"Hiss." Su Muqiu gasped. "These were originally my people."

Listening to Guan Rongfei meticulously checking the materials one by one beside him, Su Muqiu felt a deep sense of regret. Such a talented tech geek should have been an invaluable asset to Team Excellent Era, and now he's gone to Team Happy—what a huge loss!

Unfortunately, the person had already gone to Happy, and Su Muqiu couldn't bring them back. Even if he could bring them back, their heart wouldn't come back.

After thinking for a moment, Su Muqiu simply took off his headphones, controlled his character to return to the city, and decided to avoid seeing or worrying about it.

I started a new machine, logged into a warehouse account, retrieved a lot of low-level materials, and transferred them to the character Qiu Musu.

Excellent Era Club has an incredibly deep foundation. Apart from level 75 rare materials, other low-level materials are practically inexhaustible.

After gathering all the materials, Su Muqiu placed his character in the password-protected room in the arena—an absolutely safe zone, provided that no one could guess the password.

Open the equipment editor, first take out a whole piece of deep-sea black iron, put it into the equipment editor, and carefully polish it.

Su Muqiu was no stranger to this operation. Many years ago, this equipment editor had devoured all his possessions, and he was almost so poor that he had to pawn his pants.

While the polishing process is far less complex and varied than the combat operations in the game, it still allows no room for error.

If not handled carefully, valuable materials can be rendered unusable.

Despite not having touched the equipment editor for nine years, Su Muqiu's operation was still skillful. Cutting, shaping, drawing lines, and smoothing, a complete piece of deep-sea black iron gradually changed shape in Su Muqiu's hands, becoming a long iron rod.

Su Muqiu worked very seriously, and the room gradually quieted down, leaving only the sound of Su Muqiu clicking the mouse.

Tang Rou and Su Mucheng sat down on either side of Su Muqiu, quietly watching him work.

Kaka, Kaka...

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

After a full half hour, the polishing of the deep-sea black iron was finally completed.

Su Muqiu let out a long breath, raised his head, and stretched his hands.

Polishing materials is a continuous operation. Although the intensity of the operation is not high, it requires the operator to be fully focused and cannot relax for a moment, which is very mentally taxing. Often, the fatigue caused by polishing materials is greater than that of playing a sports game.

Immediately afterwards, Su Muqiu clicked on the drilling function in the equipment editor and began drilling holes in the piece of black iron.

Drilling is a delicate task, even more difficult than grinding materials.

After all, you can see the material being polished with your eyes, but you can't see the inside of the iron rod when drilling, so you have to rely entirely on experience and intuition.

Drilling is a crucial part of equipment crafting, especially for silver-grade guns, where every barrel must be drilled.

The drilling is so difficult that only highly skilled technicians dare to undertake the task. Such technicians are often a valuable asset to a team.

The former Excellent Era team certainly had such talent; Guan Rongfei was one of the best. Unfortunately, Ye Xiu poached him to Happy, so Su Muqiu had to take the lead himself.

This wasn't the first time Su Muqiu had done drilling; back then, Mu Yu Cheng Feng's hand cannon that swallowed the sun was also Su Muqiu's doing.

Another half hour passed, and Su Muqiu let out a long sigh of relief. The drilling of the gun barrel was perfectly completed.

Due to intense mental stress, fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Muqiu's forehead, face, and hands.

Although the air conditioner was on in the room, Su Muqiu felt no coolness at all; the summer in Hangzhou was unbearably hot.

Tang Rou took out a tissue and handed it to Su Muqiu. Su Muqiu wiped the sweat from his face and continued with the next step.

Next, Su Muqiu took out a piece of poplar wood, put it into the equipment editor, and carefully polished it into the shape of a gunstock.

Then, take out a piece of mithril dropped by the wild map boss, the Goblin Merchant, and carefully polish it into a small spring.

The adamantite dropped by the goblin merchant and the magazines dropped by the blood gunner Yago—these low-level materials gradually transformed into gun parts such as triggers, sights, firing pins, and magazines in Su Muqiu's hands.

Under Su Muqiu's guidance, the pre-made parts were arranged one by one on the equipment editing interface, and he assembled them according to the blueprints in his mind.

Soon, a decent-looking rifle was completed.

"Look, what does this rifle look like?" Su Muqiu asked.

"It looks a lot like the rifle props on TV. Is it the famous Type 38 rifle?" Tang Rou asked uncertainly.

"You're so clever, this is the Type 38 rifle."

Su Muqiu took the rifle out of the equipment editor, waved it a few times in his hand, and fired a burst of bullets.

After multiple tests, the weapon did not fall apart; its structure remained stable. At this stage, the main framework of a silver weapon is essentially complete.

Su Muqiu checked the weapon's attributes, which were similar to those of ordinary orange-tier equipment. If he had enough materials, he could then fill it with various rare materials to enhance the silver weapon's attributes. If he lacked materials, he could just make do with it as it was.

With the basic framework complete, upgrading your silver weapon in the future will simply require replacing lower-level materials with higher-level ones, and the weapon's level and attributes will naturally increase accordingly. The higher the grade of the materials used, the higher the attributes will be.
