I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Rare! It's rare!" Arcane Light exclaimed.

Amidst the light, a thick skill book slowly descended.

[Skill Book: Titan's Grip (Rare)]

[Effect: Passive skill. When your health is below 30%, your block chance increases by 20%.]

"Holy crap! That's an amazing skill!" Steel Shield grabbed the skill book, his face flushed with excitement. For a tank, the chance to block when low on health is like a second life! This skill is a perfect fit for his class.

When it was Hua Zitong's turn, she didn't make any unnecessary movements and calmly opened the treasure chest.

The next second, another green light appeared.

"Rare, very rare!"

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a fragment of an hourglass emerged from the treasure chest.

Fragment of the Hourglass of Time (Rare)

[Type: Special Item]

[Description: A fragment that seems to resonate with the flow of time.]

Hua Zitong took the fragment, her heart skipping a beat. She didn't say anything, but simply put the fragment into her backpack.

Finally, everyone's attention focused on Li Wu.

As the core of the team, as the man who has created countless miracles, what can he get from this treasure chest?

Li Wu smiled. He didn't take out the treasure chest immediately, but instead took out a coin called "Small Lucky Coin".

use!

Suddenly, his luck value soared from 210 points to 420 points!

He was particularly curious to know what good things his 420 points of luck could bring him!

As he spoke, he took out the treasure chest that shone with seven colors, took a deep breath, and chose to open it.

A beam of blue light shot out from the treasure chest.

"Epic...historic!"

Steel Shield was stunned. He only managed to get a rare item with 35 points of luck, so how could Li Wu get an epic item with 21 points of luck?

As the light faded, they eagerly looked towards the location of the treasure chest.

There was no equipment, no materials, only an ancient parchment, quietly floating in mid-air.

"This is... a blueprint?" Arcane Light was somewhat disappointed.

"An epic-level blueprint!" Hua Zitong's pupils shrank sharply. In the early stages of the Origin Realm, every blueprint was extremely precious, and an epic-level blueprint was priceless.

Li Wu reached out and took the blueprint in her hand.

When he saw the gold-embossed text on the drawing, even he couldn't help but freeze in place.

[The Soulsmith's Legacy - Set Crafting Blueprint (Epic)]

[Requirement: Intermediate Forging]

[Effect: Records the detailed forging methods for three pieces of equipment: [Soulforger Helmet], [Soulforger Chestplate], and [Soulforger Gauntlets].]

Not just one item, but the whole set!

The forging blueprints for three pieces of equipment were actually integrated into one blueprint!

Li Wu's mind went blank.

He finally understood why the quality of this blueprint was epic.

The entire final forging hall fell silent instantly.

Steel Shield, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend were all stunned, staring blankly at the cyan blueprint in Li Wu's hand.

"A...a set?" Friend of the Beast swallowed hard, his voice hoarse. "I'm not seeing things, am I? Boss, this blueprint is forging a complete set of Soulforger armor?"

"Holy crap!" Steel Shield couldn't hold back any longer. "This...this is too outrageous! He opened a chest and got a rare set of forging blueprints? And an epic one at that?"

Arcane Light covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, feeling as if her worldview had been repeatedly refreshed today.

First, they witnessed Li Wu's godlike individual strength—he could fight, heal, summon, and even cast forbidden spells. Now, they've also witnessed his incredible luck.

"21 points of luck... How can this be 21 points of luck?" the Beast Friend muttered to himself.

He now seriously suspects that Li Wu may have omitted a zero when he mentioned 21 points of luck.

This isn't 21 points, it's clearly 210 points!

Only Hua Zitong, after the initial shock, quickly calmed down. She gave Li Wu a deep look, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Again.

Li Wu once again did something beyond her memories of her previous life.

In the previous life, the blueprints for the Soulforger Set did exist, but they were split into three parts, each dropped with a small probability by one of the three bosses in the Lost Foundry.

At the time, all the major guilds were scrambling to collect the blueprints, grinding day and night in dungeons for more than three months before the Ironblood Alliance managed to collect them all.

But now?

Li Wu opened the first treasure chest and got a whole set!

Even with the added benefit of "Little Lucky Coins," this is still outrageous!

"Hoo..." Hua Zitong slowly exhaled, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

I've seen too much of it, so I've become somewhat immune.

"Boss, this... what should we do with this blueprint?" Steel Shield's voice pulled Hua Zitong back to reality.

"What should we do?" Li Wu smiled, looked at everyone, and asked in return, "What do you think is the greatest value of this blueprint?"

"Value? Need I say more?" The Beast Friend eagerly answered, "Of course it's the ability to forge the Soulforger Set! The terrifying effect—wearing it, Steel Shield Bro will be airborne!"

"More than that." Arcane Light shook her head, her gaze seeing further than that of the Beast Friend. "Its value lies in its replicability. As long as we have the materials and intermediate blacksmiths, we can continuously produce this set of equipment."

"That's right." Li Wu nodded approvingly, then added, "But you've only seen its surface value."

"The true value of this blueprint lies not in the equipment itself, but in the monopoly it represents!"

"Monopoly?" The three were taken aback.

"Yes, a monopoly." Li Wu's eyes gleamed. "Think about it, in the entire 21st district right now, besides us, who else can produce a level 30 rare set? No one! Not a single one!"

"Once our shop opens, this blueprint will be our shop's prized possession, our core competitive advantage! Want the ultimate level 30 rarest set? Come to our shop, bring money, or exchange it for an equivalent amount of rare materials!"

"At that time, all the guild leaders and top players in District 21 will have to line up to buy from us!"

All three of them were stunned.

They were only thinking about how amazing this equipment was and how much stronger it would make their team.

But Li Wu had already seen the beginnings of a business empire in this blueprint!

Is this the difference in perspective?

They're still on the first floor, while the boss is already on the fifth floor!

"I get it!" Steel Shield slapped his thigh excitedly. "Boss, you mean, we should use this equipment to completely make our shop famous and attract the attention of all high-end players!"

"Smart." Li Wu snapped his fingers. "Therefore, this blueprint will be the most important part of our future business plan."

"Alright, now that we have a clear goal, things will be easier for us," Hua Zitong said. "This blueprint only requires an intermediate-level blacksmith to learn, and Old Wang meets the requirements. We'll have to sign a contract with him before we can give it to him."

"That's not a problem." Li Wu waved his hand and said confidently, "Now, what we need to do is strike while the iron is hot."

He looked at everyone and gave new instructions.

"Let's run this dungeon a few more times!"

"Huh? Still brushing?" Beast Friend was taken aback.

"Yes." Li Wu nodded. "Although the first-clear reward is gone, the boss will still drop materials and equipment. Our goal is to assemble another Soulforger set before leaving here, to arm our steel shields!"

"A fully armed, top-of-the-line tank is crucial to all our subsequent operations!"

Upon hearing this, Steel Shield's eyes instantly turned red.

"Boss..." He was so moved that he couldn't speak.

"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy." Li Wu patted his shoulder. "Let's go level up nearby for a bit, then the dungeon resets in a day, and we'll get right to it!"

"Yes, boss!"

Steel Shield, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend responded in unison, their voices filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
