Online Games: Billions Spent on In-app Purchases, Archery Becomes a God

Blackwater Rock, Red Blood Coins, and the crafting recipe for the Arrow of Invasion—this trip has been incredibly lucrative!First, Ye Xingyu pulled out a large handful of dark gold grade crystal blocks from his belt space.

Each block was more than two fingers wide.

Their size was uniform.

Its surface was crystalline, and inside, a dark red ’fluid’ could vaguely be seen slowly flowing.

Ye Xingyu glanced at its attributes and discovered that the dark red crystal blocks were precisely the currency circulating on Dark Star!

Their name was ’red blood coin’.

red blood coins held significant value on Dark Star.

They could be used to exchange for any valuable items and were the only circulating currency on Dark Star.

Their significance was extraordinary.

This time, Ye Xingyu had obtained a large quantity of red blood coins from the two Overseer Leaders.

Adding them up, there were over 10,000 blocks!

But for him, what could he buy with red blood coins?

After all, Blue Star and Dark Star were hostile to each other.

Ye Xingyu temporarily put all the red blood coins into a corner of his belt space.

Who knows, he might use them one day?

Next, he pulled out two blocks of black water rock, the most famous mineral on Dark Star!

Ye Xingyu checked the attributes of the black water rock and found that its material properties explicitly stated it had the effect of corroding the opponent’s attributes!

Moreover, the two black water rocks in Ye Xingyu’s hand had reached a superior quality!

When crafted into weapons or equipment, they could weaken the enemy’s attributes even more!

He still had hundreds of such black water rocks in his bag.

Most of them were dropped by the two leaders.

From the slaves, laborers, and overseers, almost no gold coins were dropped.

These two types of people were really damn poor!

”That’s right! The two sides fought over a few boxes of black water rock before!”

”Because the quality of this batch of black water rock reached superior grade, the leaders of both sides fought fiercely over it!”

The higher the value of the item, the more likely the leaders of the two sides were to clash.

This was an obvious truth!

”I killed them all! I was in a hurry just now and didn’t even have time to check that batch of black water rock before leaving.”

”Leaving such large boxes of superior black water rock there was like throwing away a watermelon!”

”There’s no reason not to take them!”

Ye Xingyu just remembered.

Didn’t he launch the surprise attack for the black water rock in the first place?

How could he have forgotten to pick them up?

It was all because of the former Overseer Leader, Rock Tower!

He had no fighting spirit at all.

He dragged Ye Xingyu so far away.

Which led to a large batch of black water rock being left elsewhere!

No sooner said than done.

Ye Xingyu, taking advantage of the fact that the Brigadier-level expert had returned to the city, immediately set off for the original location!

He rushed dustily towards the original location of the black water rock... Fortunately, it wasn’t far.

His speed in pursuing the Overseer Leader was very fast.

So he hadn’t run too far.

A few minutes later.

Ye Xingyu, relying on his memory, found the boxes containing black water rock from a pile of rubble.

He had even overlooked them when he was hiding and observing before!

Now, with no one to disturb him, Ye Xingyu unearthed a total of 10 large iron boxes filled with black water rock!

Each iron box was tightly packed with shiny, dark black water rock!

This sight alone was enough to make one’s heart pound!

This was the most famous specialty of Dark Star — black water rock!

A treasure that couldn’t be found on the entire Blue Star!

If Blue Star people knew the value of black water rock, then just these ten large boxes that Ye Xingyu found today would be enough for his family for several generations to live without working, spending freely every day!

”I’m rich!”

”Good stuff!”

Ye Xingyu exclaimed, his eyes gleaming!

He never imagined in his previous life that he would obtain so much black water rock on Dark Star!

”I’ll take it!”

”I’ll take it!”

...Ye Xingyu walked past each iron box.

With almost the same gesture, he waved his hand.

The iron box on the ground immediately disappeared.

Becoming his private property, it entered his belt space.

The space displayed that the quantity of black water rock obtained reached a total of 3000 blocks!

black water rock itself was bulky and heavy.

So it took up a lot of space in the iron boxes.

The ten large iron boxes, each over three meters long, could actually only hold about 300 blocks of black water rock each.

A total of 3,000 blocks of black water rock.

The vast majority of which were of superior grade.

Ye Xingyu was already very satisfied!

He had ventured alone into Dark Star this time.

Just these 3,000 blocks of black water rock alone made him rich!

Not to mention other things.

Below, Ye Xingyu pulled out a dark, shimmering black armor from his belt space.

The armor’s surface had intricate patterns; it was clearly crafted with care!

The craftsmanship was extremely high!

[Superior black water rock Breastplate!]

Type: Heavy Armor.

Quality: Ghost Baron!

Level: 40

Attributes:

Physical Defense: 1050 ~ 1157

Magic Defense: 1157 ~ 1272

User’s Max HP increased by 6480

Constitution, Strength + 34

All-attribute Resistance increased by 35%

Additional Effects:

Attack reduces opponent’s all attributes by 100! Lasts 500s.

Each attack refreshes the duration and applies one stack of ’Corrosion’ effect.

When the Corrosion effect stacks to 15 layers, it additionally reduces the opponent’s all attributes by 45%!

...”Whoa—!”

”This must be a top-grade equipment crafted from superior black water rock!”

”The effect, once fully formed, reduces the enemy’s all attributes by 45%! It’s simply too overpowered!”

If a person originally had 10,000 HP, just this attribute reduction alone would cut their maximum HP by a full 4,500 points, as well as reducing attack, defense, attack speed, movement speed... and all other attributes!

45%.

It could essentially turn a person into a complete cripple!

And this didn’t even count the basic reduction of 100 points to all attributes.

”Overpowered!”

”This armor is too overpowered!”

’Ghost Baron’ is a unique equipment naming system on Dark Star.

Its status on Dark Star is roughly equivalent to ’purple gold grade’ on Blue Star.

This ”Superior black water rock Breastplate” not only possessed powerful special effects but also had a basic attribute of 35% increased all-attribute resistance.

It could be said to be powerful in both offense and defense, comprehensively strong!

”Unfortunately, it’s a heavy armor. If a leather armor class wears it, it will greatly weaken the user’s agility, attack speed, movement speed... and other important attributes.”

Ye Xingyu couldn’t wear it.

He could only put it back into his backpack with a slight regret.

Although both Overseer Leaders seemed to be wearing this kind of armor, only one of them dropped it.

Therefore, Ye Xingyu only obtained one piece.

Among the items dropped by the other Overseer Leader, Ye Xingyu suddenly discovered a dark gold grade crafting blueprint.

”plunder arrow Crafting Blueprint!”

Ye Xingyu couldn’t help but show a surprised expression when he saw this name!

”Could it be something I can use?”

He quickly checked the attributes of the finished product that the blueprint could craft — the ”plunder arrow”:

[plunder arrow]:

Quality: Evil Spirit Grade!

Level: 35

Physical Attack: 465 ~ 511

Unique Effect:

Upon hit, reduces target’s armor by 11% and all-attribute resistance by 11%, stackable up to 5 times.

Durability: 15

...”Whoa—!”

Ye Xingyu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise once again!

Originally, he was slightly regretful that he couldn’t wear the armor that reduced enemy’s all attributes.

Unexpectedly, he immediately found an arrow that was no less effective than the armor!

Each hit of the ”plunder arrow” on the target could stack a layer of 11% armor reduction and 11% all-attribute resistance reduction!

And it was all-attribute resistance!

Stackable up to 5 times.

Which meant a total of 55% physical defense reduction and 55% all-attribute resistance reduction.

Its value goes without saying, right?

’Evil Spirit Grade’ was slightly lower than ’Ghost Baron’.

It was equivalent to a Blue Star ’dark gold grade’ arrow.

”Good stuff!”

Ye Xingyu immediately gave it a good review.

He carefully checked the crafting materials for the ”plunder arrow.”

He found that the main material used for crafting was precisely the most famous black water rock on Dark Star!

He had just obtained a large batch of this stuff!

Enough to craft hundreds of thousands of ”plunder arrows”!

He didn’t have to worry about lacking materials at all!

After all, crafting arrows didn’t use much material.

Worst case, after running out, he would just come back to Dark Star to grab another batch!

Anyway, Ye Xingyu had already decided to use this ”plunder arrow” the moment he saw it.

His original ”Piercing Arrow” had almost lost its use value after Ye Xingyu changed his profession to Fire Element Archer.

It was perfect to replace the original ”Piercing Arrow” with the ”plunder arrow.”

It was very suitable for Ye Xingyu.

Besides black water rock, the consumables also required a certain amount of red blood coins.

Just coincidentally, Ye Xingyu had obtained over 10,000 blocks!

These two types of currency and materials he had just obtained came in handy.

His luck was very good!

Besides ”black water rock” and ”red blood coin,”

one could choose one from several iron ores and hundreds of types of monster feathers.

As auxiliary materials for crafting the ”plunder arrow.”

Including feathers dropped by Blood Crows.

The crafting materials for arrows were generally not strictly specified.

Aside from the main material, the auxiliary materials could be chosen from most general-purpose materials, either one or several.

Ye Xingyu carefully distinguished them.

He had now gathered all the crafting materials for the ”plunder arrow.”

Mass-producing the ”plunder arrow” was not a problem!

”Very good, my trip to Dark Star has been too fruitful! From the current gains, I’ve actually made a killing!”

After a quick review of the drops, Ye Xingyu contentedly put all the items back into his belt space.

For now, he should go back!

After all, Dark Star was not a safe place for him.

After personally witnessing the strong oppressive feeling brought by the Dark Star Brigadier General, Ye Xingyu abandoned the idea of wandering around!

There were still many enemies here that he couldn’t deal with yet!

He would come back after he became stronger!

Ye Xingyu had made up his mind to leave.

He believed it was a wise decision.
