Chapter 52: First time crafting

Yellow Ball wagged and looked at its master in glee.

Ye Zhongming looked at this dog and was totally speechless.

This Yellow Ball’s talent skill was actually a fur attack, shooting out its dog fur to deal damage. In the apocalypse, some dogs had such an ability. This skill had a nicer name, Needle Density.

But no matter what it was called, it couldn’t hide the fact that after using it, one would become bald.

Okay then, no need to wash fur, could just rub its body.

He stopped himself from dissing the skill but he looked at its effect and felt that it was not bad. Some of its furs became really tough and all of them were stuck in the cement mixer. Even if it became bald, what couldn’t be denied was that if Ye Zhongming was hit by it, he would end up as a porcupine.

“On the account that it is quite strong, I will forgive you for becoming ugly.”

Touching the thick dog skin, Ye Zhongming could sense that Yellow Ball was exhausted after using the skill. Seemed like shooting out its fur consumed a lot of energy.

After searching once more to check that there was nothing around, Ye Zhongming and the bald Yellow Ball left the place and started to walk back. They were nearing the most important event of the day.

When he got back to his room, Ye Zhongming saw that the two girls were covered in blood and they just returned. With strength to rely on and immunity to the virus, these two girls got bolder. Especially Liang Chuyin, she was decisive and she led Park Xiuying to kill zombies.

After all, they didn’t have much experience and just became level one evolved so their control of strength wasn’t too good so they weren’t that efficient. There were a few times when they were nearly surrounded and eaten up. When they ran back, they were both injured and didn’t collect much crystals, only a few dozen.

“See, I told you it wasn’t tough. Now that we have evolved, we can smash a zombie into pieces with one random stick. Why be afraid?”

Liang Chuyin now had the ability to kill a zombie on her own and chattered.

“You also vomited okay!” Park Xiuying used the towel to wipe off the dirt on her face while rolling her eyes at Liang Chuyin.

“Hehe there is a first time for everything, it is common to feel disgust.”

“Jerk!”

After a few rounds of fighting together, the two girls got much closer and even felt like they were friends.

Seeing Ye Zhongming come back, Liang Chuyin took out the collected crystals and awaited being praised. Even Park Xiuying did the same thing and she was delighted.

After spending the past few hours nearby, this teacher got rid of her impractical thoughts. She saw her broken world and accepted the apocalypse.

Ye Zhongming praised them a little but the reason was more because they were adapting to the apocalypse and not the small amount of crystals.

After all, only those who adapted would live for longer. His investments in them would also pay fruit soon enough.

Of course, when they saw the bald Yellow Ball, Teacher Park teared up from pity. As for Liang Chuyin, she also teared up but that was from laughing…

He took out the two eggs and told the two shocked girls to barbeque one of it before leaving once more.

The two girls cleared the zombies out well and he could only see a few scattered ones walking about. There were many corpses but the crystals were all dug out.

Ye Zhongming didn’t walk far and just started to search. He walked to the side of an abandoned car.

Moon Edge needed large amounts of metal so these cars were the best materials.

She pressed an arm on the car and used the Crafting skill. In his mind, he got the notification. The first picture of Warblade Moonsand appeared. Like it was scanning something, the entire blade body lit up and told him that he had enough materials. It also indicated that the success rate was 50%.

Ye Zhongming tried to add his white blade in and it was actually allowed. The success rate also increased by 30% and became 80%.

Seemed like with similar items as a blueprint, one could greatly increase crafting success rate.

After putting in the blade and also adding in half of the claws and all of the Ape Turtle’s teeth, Ye Zhongming paid a level two demon crystal as energy source to craft.

That car was dissolving at a visible speed, like when one melted white sugar in a pot, it turned into a liquid and covered the white blade. The claws and teeth also melted into that liquid.

With the energy from the level two demon crystal, this liquid started to shrink and reveal the body of the blade. It looked very illusionary and its shape kept on changing.

After a short while, a silver light shone. When it dimmed, a weapon that shone silver landed in his hands.

“Moon Edge (Ming): Basic sharpness 10, basic toughness 5. Stat 1: Sharpness +10, Stat 2: Strength+3.”

Ye Zhongming loved the new weapon.

The basic sharpness of 10 was indicated on the blueprint. The toughness was probably the basic stat from merging the mutated tree branch. The additional sharpness and strength were probably from the Ape Turtle’s claws and teeth.

He took out one claw and the notification told him that he couldn’t enchant. Seemed like adding in materials was the same as enchanting. Moreover, the effect was better than enchanting.

As compared to the white blade, this blade was cooler and it looked similar to a goose feather blade. More importantly, it was much stronger.

He waved and the Moon Edge could easily slice into the metal lamp at the side of the road.

He also noticed that when using the blade, he was filled with energy. That was probably due to the strength +3 effect.

He touched the carved word- Ming, and smiled in satisfaction.

The first successful crafting gave Ye Zhongming huge confidence. The skill familiarity increased by 25 points. He knew that if he crafted a few more times, the skill familiarity would be full.

After keeping the silver Moon Edge, Ye Zhongming took out the Ape Turtle shell and strengthened the arm shield that he got. The grey arm shield was upgraded to white. From half a forearm length, it was now covering his palm and half his hand. The dent from the bite was gone and what replaced it was an ancient pattern.
