Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Super Blueprint
Seeing the stone chest, the three of them were utterly astonished.
Electric Dragons generally do not drop equipment, that’s for sure; only materials can be gathered.
They originally thought that this was the final reward, not expecting there to be other items, truly beyond expectation.
For general monsters, the blacksmith usually has blueprints and can readily craft items.
But after level twenty, just having materials is not enough, you also need special blueprints.
That’s the limitation of crafting good equipment from gathered materials. In other words, although they obtained Electric Dragon materials, crafting corresponding equipment becomes extremely difficult.
Without the corresponding blueprints, a blacksmith of course can still craft, but without the enhancement of a blueprint, equipment made from golden materials will probably be high-level purple grade, wasting the true potential of the materials.
Naturally, Shana Fanghua did not really care about the materials obtained from killing the Electric Dragon.
After all, getting one’s hands on series blueprints of Electric Dragon equipment isn’t realistic. There’s too large of a level gap, for Electric Dragons, even the lowest level is thirty.
So, these materials either have to be stored until the blueprints are obtained for crafting later, and by then it would be around level thirty.
Or they have to be crafted by a high-level craftsman, but basically the outcome can only be high-level purple grade equipment.
Because of these two reasons, Shana Fanghua didn’t pay much attention to the materials and let Li Yao choose. If it was good ready-made Golden Dress equipment, she probably wouldn’t have been as generous.
Little Raindrop stared blankly at the several magic nodes for a while before asking, “Is this a magic lock?”
Li Yao nodded and said, “Yes, exactly, this is a magic lock.”
“Then how did you discover it?” As an errand lover, Little Raindrop was very curious as to how Li Yao had discovered this chest.
Li Yao chuckled, saying, “In reality, these things always leave traces to follow, in two ways – one is this magic lock, places with a magic lock definitively aren’t simple. The other pertains to the scars on this wall; something should exist here. With the addition of a magic lock, I could deduce there’s a chest. The Ancient God World has just started, a lot of things are put in place to take the player’s feelings into consideration, these sorts of things all have clues to follow.”
Li Yao saw through this basic placement in a glance, almost as if the realism of the Ancient God World would increase with rise in level.
The deciphering requires many things, and depending on the type of treasure, the knowledge required about the Ancient God is also different.Take this treasure for instance, if you were like Shana Fanghua and the others, having no understanding of the Ancient Elves, you wouldn’t even know there was such a simply hidden chest.
As a result, many treasure hunters and treasure analysts emerged, specializing in decoding the puzzles of secret realms or treasures that other people can’t solve.
Back then, Li Yao, being pursued by prosperous guilds, could become a Quasi-god Hunter precisely because he was a so-called treasure hunter – he was even one of the founders of the Treasure Hunters Forum.
He made it thus far by locating these so-called treasures or decoding treasures for the rich.
For this, Li Yao read throughout many races’ libraries and visited all the elders of various races in the Ancient God World, understanding all kinds of stories and legends.
In the last game cycle, Li Yao was the first player in-game to receive the title of Scholar; with this title, as long as he wore the Scholar Robe and showed his guild leader title, he could freely enter and exit any faction or race.
Naturally, even if Li Yao had not been to this small instance, he still saw through it with a single glance.
Everyone was suddenly enlightened, but Little Raindrop was even more confused, “Then how did you figure out the password for the magic lock? I saw you got it right in one try. Remember, according to the books, magic locks are all connected to a magic mechanism.”
“You know quite a bit.” Li Yao laughed, “Didn’t I say before, this is a low-level instance, it’s very simple, not even a puzzle could be considered here, just look at the pattern in the middle of the hall and you’ll understand.”
In order to open a magic lock, wisdom is needed. Even with a perfect key, it can’t be unlocked. What’s more, magic locks are linked to magic traps. If you fail three times consecutively, the next failure will trigger the magic trap.
As to what the magic trap is, it depends on the creator of the magic lock.
The three looked towards the middle of the hall, saw a lightning pattern, remembered the shape of the one Li Yao linked just now, and realized it was basically the same as this lightning pattern.
“Sigh, looks like we really have a lot to learn. If it were not for you, we wouldn’t even know there’s an extra treasure chest.” Having heard all that Li Yao said, Shana Fanghua greatly admired him.
At this, Little Raindrop’s eyes were filled with little shining stars. Isn’t this exactly what she was pursuing?
Li Yao took out a low-level universal key, directly opening the chest that was still locked.
Creak creak…
Li Yao directly took out the first item. Seeing this item, Shana Fanghua’s eyes instantly lit up.

Seeing these blueprints, Shana Fanghua’s eyes nearly popped out. The effects of this blueprints really were overpowered.
This was the top paralyzing dagger, for the thieves right now, it was just like a little artifact.
“This blueprint…,” Shana Fanghua hesitated.
Li Yao tossed the blueprint to her, saying, “Same old rules – I’m just a hired hand, naturally the blueprint is yours.”
Shana Fanghua waved her hands, “No, no, no. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to get the blueprint. If I were to take this blueprint, I really would be too unappreciative. What I mean is that we should cooperate.”
Li Yao raised an eyebrow, “Cooperate? How should we cooperate?”
“I think you must know, it’s not realistic to want to hunt the other Electric Dragon bosses right now. And I happen to have six Thunder Dragon Boss’s Teeth in my possession. You provide the blueprint, I provide the materials, and the equipment we produce we divide equally, how does that sound?” Shana Fanghua revealed her intention…
