ALL NOVEL Chapter 54 - Divine Might Herbs
Chapter 54: Divine Might Herbs! Forging Platinum Grade Equipment?
“The difficulty hidden quests and their rewards might not be proportionate, which gives the players fun in exploring all sorts of interactions! This can be considered a good point of the world of Sword and Magic!” Jiang Bai explained to Su Muxue.
Su Muxue didn’t know where Jiang Bai found out about this, but she was curious and wanted to know what this advanced forging material was.
Seeing Su Muxue’s curious expression, Jiang Bai pointed at the conditions for completing the mission.
[Requirements for completing the “Master Blacksmith” quest: Help the former master blacksmith find the material, “divine might herb”. The more the better. He needs to use his latest forged weapon to return to the world of forging!]
[Hint: If you collect more than a certain amount, you can ask the master blacksmith to help you forge a platinum-grade item!]
“Divine might herb? Where should we go to collect such materials?” Su Muxue was dumbfounded when she saw the quest condition.
Jiang Bai smiled faintly.
If it was someone else, they might have to look for the location of the divine might herb just like Su Muxue, but he was different. He remembered that the divine might herb would only drop from a type of demonic beast.
Others may look for the divine might herb in the patches of flowers and plants, but very few would think that it was something that could only be obtained by killing demonic beasts.
After all, this was a game, so they had to think out of the box.
“Follow me!” Jiang Bai pulled Su Muxue and walked towards the north.
Seeing this, Su Muxue was confused and couldn’t help but scratch her head.
Where were they going?
Had Jiang Bai really discovered the whereabouts of the divine might herb?
Why didn’t he just ask that man?!
She had a lot of questions and couldn’t find answers to them in a short time.
But soon, they arrived at an area. On the open grassland in front of them, there was a group of vampiric flame dogs that were about level 10 lying around!
[Vampiric Flame Dogs]
[Level: 11]
[Skill: Flame Spray lv2]
[Hint: The vampiric flame dogs do not like others to invade their territory. If you are not strong enough, please leave immediately. They are monsters that fight in groups!]
After reading the vampiric flame dogs’ interface, Jiang Bai smiled contemptuously.
If Ickes were to take care of these little fellows, it would be like killing a chicken with a butcher’s knife. It would be putting fine timber to petty use.
“This time, I’ll do it myself!” Seeing the Black Dragon Princess eager to go forward, Jiang Bai stopped her with one hand, preventing her from going forward.
Right now, he was equipped with a gold-grade Blood Blade.
If he did not improve his blade skills, then he would not be able to grasp the skills of warriors or even assassins.
The black wings behind Ickes flapped slightly.
She really wanted to use an AOE skill to instantly kill these weak beasts.
At this moment, Jiang Bai held the three-meter-long Blood Blade in his hand and leaped while brandishing the huge blade.
While in the air, he changed his posture and held the blade with both hands before slashing down fiercely.
A wave of blade energy was instantly released.
Instantly, the vampiric flame dog became sickly and weakened.
This meant that the vampiric flame dog had entered a near-death state.
[Ding! Congratulations to player Maise the God for killing the vampiric flame dog. Obtained 15 EXP, divine might herb *1]
In the next second, a half-meter-long divine might herb appeared on Jiang Bai’s palm.
Su Muxue ran over excitedly and quickly picked up the divine might herb to look at it, “I didn’t expect that the divine might herb to be obtained from the vampiric flame dog!”
Jiang Bai smiled and patted her head lightly. “There are many surprises in the world of Sword and Magic…”
With this, Su Muxue became even more excited.
Then, she prepared to cast her occult spells.
Although she was a healer, she still had basic spells and skills.
“Jiang Bai, let me join you!” Su Muxue grabbed her staff and said excitedly.
She also wanted to use these vampiric flame dogs to increase her EXP.
Jiang Bai nodded, “Then let’s do it together!”
With that, the two began to slaughter the vampiric flame dogs.
But soon, Jiang Bai stopped.
He remembered clearly that the divine might herb would only drop a certain amount in a fixed period. After that, they would have to wait for an hour.
The time was worth waiting for, though.
“Why aren’t any divine might herbs being dropped anymore? I’ve killed more than ten vampiric flame dogs thinking that I would get a few more!” As Su Muxue spoke, she grabbed her staff.
Her chest heaved up and down. The occult spells consumed quite some MP, so she had to stop and rest every time she used it.
Jiang Bai glanced at Su Muxue and found that this girl was becoming increasingly active.
“The divine might herb will drop again in a while. Let’s take a break. There’s a time schedule for the items to refresh. We can’t rush it,” Jiang Bai said.
“How many more divine might herb do we have to collect? The quest only stated to collect more the better, but is there no end to it?” Su Muxue asked, puzzled.
Jiang Bai shook his head when he heard this.
If he remembered correctly, he only needed to collect 321 stalks of the divine might herb.
For ordinary players, the quest had stated the more the better, so they may very possibly collect 500 or even 1,000 stalks of the divine might herb.
In his previous life, many people had done this before.
However, some professional quest players had specially tested it.
They had found that 321 stalks were the critical point. If one collected more than that, no matter if it was 2,000 stalks or 2,000,000 stalks, it would not trigger any higher-grade rewards.
Jiang Bai remembered that in his previous life, the quest players were really crazy. Just to test and see if different quest rewards would be given, they had only stopped after collecting 2,000,000 stalks of the divine might herb.
Now that he had the experience of his previous life, he naturally didn’t need to waste the effort.
No more, no less. He only needed 321 stalks.
When Su Muxue heard that they only needed 321 stalks, she was inexplicably surprised.
Why was Jiang Bai so sure again?!
Soon, the two of them obtained enough of the herb.
[Ding! Congratulations to player Maise the God for collecting the divine might herb x321!]
Jiang Bai smiled when he saw the message on the interface.
Then, he submitted the 321 stalks of divine might herb.
[Do you wish to submit the divine might herbs to complete the “Master Blacksmith” quest?]
[Yes!]
In the next second, Jiang Bai watched the divine might herbs in his palm turn into a streak of light and disappear.
[Ding! Congratulations player Maise the God for completing the quest. Please head to the forging house in Green Forest Town to receive the reward!]
Seeing this, Jiang Bai and Su Muxue returned to Green Forest Town.
Although it was a barren place, there was smoke coming from a house.
Obviously, that was the forging house.
Jiang Bai and Su Muxue pushed the door open and entered. They immediately saw a man with hot sweat on his forehead walking over and saying, “Respected adventurer, thank you for helping me collect 321 stalks of the divine might herb. Now, I can help you forge a platinum-grade item or equipment! May I ask what your requirements are?”
