Chapter 79: The Unobtainable Musket

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

After killing Nian, Spring Halo suddenly noticed the Musket hanging by Wang Yu’s waist.

“Is that a secondary weapon?” Spring Halo pointed at the Musket as he asked.

Secondary weapons were extremely hard to find in <<REBIRTH>> and even though they were sold in some shops in town, these shops only sold flying daggers with 1 – 1 damage that were hardly suitable for any player. It was only natural that the high class Musket hanging by Wang Yu’s waist would shock Spring Halo.

“Mm!” Wang Yu nodded.

“Can I give it a try?” Spring Halo hesitantly asked.

Equipment in the game were extremely expensive and unless two people had an extraordinary relationship, such words would usually not be said.

“I’ll just give it to you…” Wang Yu laughed as he threw the Musket over to Spring Halo.

“Ah…” Spring Halo could not believe what he had just heard.

It was hard to estimate how much a high class secondary weapon was worth, let alone how hard it was for Wang Yu to obtain. Yet this fellow had so casually gifted it to someone else.

“Rich people really aren’t the same, how much did you buy this for?” Spring Halo sighed

“I found it! I picked it up just now when I was killing Vagrant Musketeers. But the drop rate really is abysmal… I only managed to get one just now when during the triple drop rate.” Wang Yu solemnly replied.

“F*ck, you actually told me the secret to finding this?” Spring Halo was once again completely shocked by Wang Yu’s innocence and honesty…

Secondary weapons were already treated as a treasure by all players and they would definitely guard the secret to finding these weapons with their lives. Yet Wang Yu had voluntarily given this information up without even being asked, he really was too innocent for his own good.

“Ha ha, it’s just a game after all. All that matters is that everyone is happy! What’s more, those monsters are special so everyone will find out sooner or later!” Wang Yu laughed.

Wang Yu wasn’t an idiot, of course, he knew how valuable this piece of information was. But this was still just a game, there was no need to guard this secret with his life.

“That’s true… Can you bring me there?” Spring Halo asked. Since this piece of equipment was extremely precious, he could earn a tidy sum if he managed to find a few more.

“Sure! It’s not that far from where we are now!”

By the time the duo had reached, the Vagrant Musketeers had already respawned and were stalking the area.

There were roughly twenty of them, each with their own aggro range. Otherwise, a single move would probably cause all of them to charge straight at you, even Wang Yu would be hard pressed to survive such an onslaught.

This would be the first time that Wang Yu would witness how Spring Halo farmed monsters.

He unleashed his four ghosts, commanding one to run to the center of all the Vagrant Musketeers, wantonly attacking them. In the blink of an eye, there were already five Vagrant Musketeers running over.

Spring Halo calmly casted [Distortion] on the group of Vagrant Musketeers running over as he released clumps of poison mist to slow them down.

The five Vagrant Musketeers quickly fell under the onslaught of the four ghosts. Spring Halo’s impeccable balance between using control skills and attack skills was truly a sight to behold.

This method of killing monsters was infinitely more efficient than having to individually fight each and every monster personally.

Wang Yu finally understood why Spring Halo had always been following him so closely on the leaderboards despite having killed so many bosses.

“Wow, you’re awesome Brother Spring!” Wang Yu sighed in amazement.

“It’s a new method that I recently developed, otherwise how could I be so efficient? I’m not like you who just started playing video games, so it was really hard for me to adapt!” Spring Halo laughed.

“Oh, so that’s the case.” Wang Yu nodded.

Since Wang Yu had never played any traditional mouse and keyboard games before, he did not have any bad habits that he needed to correct, thus it was much easier for him to play <<REBIRTH>> and learn everything from scratch, compared to other experts that had played numerous other games before.

The duo chatted as they killed the Vagrant Musketeers, but even after killing them three times over, they had yet to find another Musket… It seemed that playing in a group really did significantly lower the drop rate of items.

“Why don’t we both quit the party and try again?” Wang Yu suggested.

“Forget it, the drop rate of these items are extremely low anyway. But, I’ve thought of a sure fire way to acquire a Musket!” Spring Halo grinned.

“What’s the method?”

“Steal it!” Spring Halo laughed.

“Steal it? How?” Wang Yu gloomily asked as he thought to himself: “Is this guy a thief? How come he keeps thinking of stealing thing?”

“If I remember correctly you stole a weapon from another player before.” Spring Halo answered. Back at the inn, Spring Halo had personally seen Wang Yu snatch a weapon from Sanguine Asura.

“You want me to snatch it from their hands?” Wang Yu was slightly taken aback. “Why didn’t I think of that!”

“That’s because you’re too honest…” Spring Halo replied.

“But how do you know if it’ll work?”

“Why don’t you just try? It’s not like we have anything to lose.”

The duo took a short break, waiting for the Vagrant Musketeers to respawn again before Wang Yu charged towards the Vagrant Musketeers closest to him.

The Vagrant Musketeers raised his weapon the moment Wang Yu stepped into his attack range, preparing to take a shot at Wang Yu. But Wang Yu swiftly dodged to the side, using [Crushing Blow] as he viciously slammed the Vagrant Musketeer’s chest.

The Vagrant Musketeers raised his musket again, but Wang Yu’s reaction was quicker, instantly twisting the Vagrant Musketeers wrist, snatching the musket from its hand.

Wang Yu kept the Musket in his bag before he proceeded to kill the Vagrant Musketeer. Walking over to Spring Halo as he retrieved the Musket from his inventory.

<Musket (Quest Item) (Cannot be equipped)>

The Musket had turned into a crafting recipe that could ultimately turn into a weapon.

“…” The duo stared speechlessly at Musket… it seemed as though the system had already predicted that players would try to do this.

Musket recipe… This would require someone with a Blacksmith crafting class to use. Spring Halo had chosen a Pharmacist as his sub class, while Wang Yu had yet to obtain a sub class, this recipe was useless to both of them.

“F*ck it, let’s just slowly train, must as well take advantage of the situation.” Spring Halo dejectedly said.

Just like this, this duo spent the entire afternoon killing Vagrant Musketeers and Baby Nian’s.

But Wang Yu didn’t give up, occasionally still trying to steal the Musket from the Vagrant Musketeers, hoping to find one that could be used. But reality told him that the system wasn’t so kind.

Wang Yu’s stubbornness had caused even Spring Halo to be surprised as he asked: “What’s the point of trying?”

“I’m training my martial arts! This is quite a good skill to practice, who knows if anyone will ever point a gun at me.” Wang Yu indifferently replied.

“…” Spring Halo was speechless, exactly what kind of background did this guy have, why would anyone point a gun at him.

“I think it’s time for me to go, it’s quite late already.” Spring Halo said after they had killed another wave of Vagrant Musketeers.

“But it’s still so early.” Wang Yu looked at the time and realised that it was only 5 in the afternoon. Wang Yu’s impression of the Quan Zhen Sect was that they hardly ever logged off the game.

“I’m going to cook for my wife.” Spring Halo replied.

“Aren’t you afraid others will say that you’re henpecked?” Wang Yu curiously asked.

“Listen carefully young man, in this world, there’s no such thing as a henpecked husband, only a man that respects his wife!” Spring Halo laughed.

“Makes sense, then let’s log off together!” Wang Yu looked at Spring Halo with admiration in his eyes.
