Chapter 1458: Rune Sword Dance
"What a masterpiece, even if I were to die in battle today, this trip wouldn’t have been in vain," the ancient Dwarf muttered, as if enchanted by the Puppet.
Li Yao didn’t rush him. This triggered a note quest, which was quite a good reward. Engineering was difficult to master, and now the opportunity to improve proficiency had come to his doorstep, naturally, he was delighted.
Naturally, Li Yao wasn’t short on Gold Coins, and materials were not what held him back. As a guild leader, if there were materials he couldn’t find at the auction house, he just had to issue a guild mission with some decent rewards, and hordes of people would help him collect them.
But what really hindered his progress were blueprints. Without a good transitional blueprint, his proficiency in engineering simply couldn’t improve.
In Li Yao’s estimation, to advance again, he would probably have to wait until around level sixty to find suitable blueprints.
Blueprints that represent a breakthrough aren’t so easy to find. Now there’s a chance for improvement, and it’s attached to no major cost but merely a few more spoken words, Li Yao naturally couldn’t wish for more.
This is the nature of random missions. As long as certain conditions are met, special missions can be triggered under certain circumstances.
However, such matters could only be left to luck for Li Yao; these kinds of missions were simply untraceable.
After a long time, the ancient Dwarf Chieftain finally came back to his senses: "This is a truly excellent Puppet, and it integrates several different mechanical techniques. Well, let’s get started. If I win, I’ll definitely study your notes and make one myself. If I lose, dying at the hands of such a Puppet would be worth it."
"Then let’s fight." Li Yao’s arms transformed as well, his left hand brandishing a metal Huge Sword ablaze with flames, its blade etched with countless Feather patterns, and a handle that replicated the pattern of a Fire Eagle.
