Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Because the timeline there cannot be reset, it is a world native to the Void Sea.

"Meow meow meow?"

Black Charcoal let out a puzzled cry; it had been observing from the shadows the whole time.

Hearing Black Charcoal's question, Aowu couldn't help but chuckle.

Hahahaha————

Because the question was why the woman kept emitting a scent similar to that of a cat seeking mating; was she also in heat?

Li Xia's body stiffened for a moment, then he heard a mischievous hoot say to Black Charcoal:

"Yes, yes, that's right."

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the forging area, where all kinds of forging workers gathered.

After searching for a long time in the forging area filled with flames, boilers, and clanging sounds, I finally found a forging shop.

This forging shop was not large, and even somewhat deserted.

However, the apostle's assessment was that the boss had an eccentric temper but excellent cooking skills.

And he's picky about equipment; he'll only accept a job if he likes it.

Otherwise, they would just drive people away. The fact that such a service attitude can survive in such a prestigious establishment can only mean that they are truly skilled.

As soon as I entered, I saw a sign in the courtyard that read:

"Don't come looking for me with junk equipment."

Li Xia naturally ignored it and rang the bell next to her.

"bite---"

The crisp sound of the bell has a special feel to it; to be honest, it sounds quite nice when the bell rings.

"The door wasn't closed."

A gruff voice came from a room in the courtyard.

Awoo landed on Li Xia's shoulder without hesitation, serving as a proper decorative object.

Following the sound into the house, one sees a thin, old man sitting in a round-backed chair, with a high-powered magnifying glass, a tool rarely used by blacksmiths, perched on his head.

Li Xia was somewhat surprised; he had assumed that blacksmiths were all tall and strong, or at least very robust.

How can you swing a hammer if you don't have muscles?

"Young man, what is the most magnificent color of equipment you have ever seen...?"

The old man didn't stop what he was doing. Instead, he carefully examined the ore in his hand through a high-powered magnifying glass, while a gleaming silver needle-like object slowly moved across the surface of the ore.

The most magnificent equipment colors?

Li Xia frowned, not understanding why the old man suddenly asked this question.

The word 'light orange' was already on the tip of my tongue, but I hadn't even had a chance to say it.

But before them, the enormous scales that could weigh the planet seemed to reappear.

The radiance was a magnificent color he had never seen in his life, and it was beyond description.

"rainbow--"

Li Xia was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Kara"

The old man's steel needle paused, and the ore suddenly shattered into several pieces. He looked up in surprise and pushed up his eyepiece.

"Rainbow... Destiny Gear?"

He jumped down from the high armchair, put his hands behind his back, hunched over, and was only up to Li Xia's waist. He looked like a gust of wind could blow him away.

"Apostles who can obtain the equipment of destiny... do not need to be tested."

The old man's gaze lingered on Li Xia's waist for a moment:

"A belt for strengthening the body, a destiny-bound item... I'm sure you won't disappoint me. I am Madaro, a blacksmith who has accomplished nothing."

This old man is indeed skilled; he could discern the function of the Qilin Belt with just a glance.

But it's just this name... Madaro...

Li Xia banished his distracting thoughts, opened his left hand with his palm facing inward, and aimed it at his heart. Suddenly, blazing flames rose from his body.

The casually worn shirt on the upper body instantly turned to ashes.

Fine, jewel-like red dragon scales appeared on his extremely smooth-skinned body, undulating like waves.

It rapidly contracted towards the chest area, leaving only a single, crystal-clear, palm-sized scale.

He handed over the Smaug Scale and activated the viewing mode so the other person could see its attributes.

Madaro's pupils reflected the blazing flames on Li Xia's body, shining brightly as he admired the scales in his hand.

"Oh? Parasitic adaptive energy armor? That's quite rare!"

What type?

Before Li Xia could even ask a question, the old man had already started rambling on:

"In the Interdimensional Armor Classification Codex (ICAC-7 Revision), this equipment belongs to:"

"Bioparasitic Armor, Class III" → "Subspecies: Draconic Adaptive".

Special notes are needed to indicate "Backlash Risk Warning" (continuous loss of host health) and "Elemental Resistance Shift Parameter" (Fire element preferred).

Li Xia: ?

"But yours is quite good. It has a fixed maximum health limit, making it an excellent piece of equipment. Even at Tier 1, its brilliance cannot be overshadowed!"

Madaro nodded in satisfaction:

"Tell me, young man, how do you want to strengthen it?"

Taking out the Lava Dragon's precious gem and other materials, Li Xia mentally clarified what he needed and slowly said:

"The most important thing is to advance to the next level, and the second is to improve the ability to control fire. I wonder if it will give me some control or bonus over fire."

Resistance bonuses are also acceptable, but it would be best if the debuff that drains maximum health could be removed or weakened.

Madaro listened carefully, and finally nodded slowly:

"Upgrading is definitely not a problem; the quality and grade of the materials you provided are sufficient."

The enhanced fire resistance and improved resistance are also easy to achieve, as the materials have high compatibility.

However, the debuff that absorbs maximum health...

He thought for a moment:

"It can only be weakened, not removed. The energy can be provided by this precious gem, but its essence is still to absorb your blood and generate defenses based on your blood."

The most distinctive feature of parasitic equipment is that it can become stronger as the user becomes stronger. If this feature is removed...

This piece of equipment is useless; it'll just become a mediocre defensive item.

"Row!"

Believing that professionalism is a basic respect for the profession, Li Xia readily agreed and asked:

How much does it cost?

Madao looked at Li Xia's materials and picked and chose for a while: "These materials are useful. I'll cover the cost of the remaining materials. If you agree, come and pick them up in two days!"

The remaining materials... I quickly calculated that it's about 5000 points, enough for a small blue item.

The prices are quite reasonable and fair; some blacksmiths charge around 6500.

"can!"

A simple agreement was signed.

Just as he was about to leave, Madaro suddenly asked:

"Were you a Monster Hunter in the last world? Do you have any leftover materials? There's a quest here that requires a lot of materials, and the price is good."

Oh?

Li Xia was thinking of going out to ask about the price later when she decisively turned around. A moment later, a young man who looked very shy hurriedly walked in.

"Master, have you secured the materials?"

Madaro was completely absorbed in admiring the [Scale of Smaug], not even looking up, and pointed at Li Xia:

"Where is the cargo owner? You can talk to him yourselves."

The shy young man quickly extended his hand: "Lancelot, we almost bought it from the black market dealer, thank you!"

Li Xia looked at him, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

Urgent?

Then I won't be polite!

..........................

After an hour of negotiation, Li Xia finally sold the remaining materials at a price 50% higher than the market price.

We've earned over 6 Hall Points in total!

My wallet, which had just run out of money, started to bulge again.

Lancelot wiped the sweat from his brow, carefully put away the materials, and although he felt a pang of regret, he still sincerely thanked them:

"Thank you, my friend. I am the vice-leader of the Knights of the Round Table. Although it is only a second-tier guild that has just started, it currently has the support of a small merchant guild."

If you have any good products, Xia, feel free to contact us. We guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price.

Li Xia nodded. He had a good impression of Lancelot. If these materials were sold to a major merchant guild or conglomerate, he would definitely get a premium price.

But I estimate it will only be 20-30%. Selling it in small quantities is a waste of time, and it depends too much on luck. Only when there is an urgent need will it sell for a high price.

If I ever have something I don't need in the future, I can send it to Lancelot for a look.

After exchanging contact information, Li Xia waved goodbye and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Only after they reached the street did the diligent and studious Black Charcoal ask in bewilderment:

"Meow?"
