80: Chapter 80: The Manufacturing Method of Monster Equipment 80: Chapter 80: The Manufacturing Method of Monster Equipment “What’s going on?” Zhou Tian hadn’t expected that when his double axes touched the light orb, it suddenly vanished in a blink.

When his original target abruptly vanished, Zhou Tian naturally found it strange.

Given the situation, he could not make out why exactly the light orb had disappeared.

However, what surprised Zhou Tian even more was that as he puzzled over the reason behind the disappearance of the light orb, his mind suddenly received a new piece of information.

“This is unexpected!” Zhou Tian was shocked, he had not expected that the killing amongst monsters hid something that enhanced their strength.

With the information he received from his mind, Zhou Tian discovered that when monsters die, their disappearing corpses inexplicably left behind a faint, almost undetectable, energy.

If a player killed the monster, that energy would turn directly into money or a weapon that the player could use.

If monsters killed each other, the energy would theoretically hang in mid-air until it finally dissipated into the world.

However, the energies that could not be utilized would accumulate in large quantities due to the death of many monsters.

Eventually, they would form the kind of light orb that Zhou Tian had seen before.

The formation of the light orb was quite difficult.

Leaving high-end monsters aside, for monsters of Zhou Tian’s level, the light orb wouldn’t have formed if it was not for his Beastman Archers continuously shooting at the fearless undead monsters, resulting in a high monster kill count.

The small entrance passage also caused all the special energy to gather together.

Otherwise, the undead monsters killed by his Beastman Archers couldn’t have contributed enough to form this light orb.

The rarer something is, the more precious it usually is.

This universal truth dictates that the light orb’s formation is demanding, hence its effect must be astonishing!

According to the information Zhou Tian received, the light orb had only one use, which was to make monster equipment!

Generally, monsters have their weapons after “birth”, but apart from an indestructible attribute, those weapons lack any attribute enhancement.

However, if a monster’s weapon comes into contact with the light orb, the weapon would evolve from being exclusive to a particular monster to a piece of Monster Equipment.

The weapon’s original attributes and its unbreakability will vanish, replaced with various attribute enhancements and possibly even equipment skills, just like the Sacrificial Scepter Zhou Tian held.

After taking in the information, Zhou Tian abruptly withdrew from the passage and ordered his Beastman Archers to continue suppressing the undead monsters as they had been.

At the same time, he started observing the transformation of his double axes.

Beast King’s Axe (Attack power increased by 50%.)
After checking his double axes’ attributes, Zhou Tian nearly choked on his rage.

The attributes of the Beast King’s Axe were not bad.

If it had been player equipment, it would have certainly been top-tier.

However, Zhou Tian’s Beast King’s Axe was Monster Equipment.

Comparing it with the high-quality attributes of the Monster Equipment he’d seen before made it feel like the Beast King’s Axe was junk.

“It must be the light orb’s energy!” For monsters like them, having monster equipment could only be a gift from above.

Initially, Zhou Tian thought that only high-end monsters knew how to forge, but now it seemed that probably due to high-end monsters leaving behind more energy upon death, it was easier for a light orb to form in high-end monster areas.

With this speculation in mind, it became easy to explain why the Beast King’s Axe Zhou Tian created was so much inferior to the Sacrificial Scepter.

The formation of the light orb Zhou Tian triggered seemed more accidental than planned.

Without this specific war and distinct environment, even if he killed countless undead monsters, it would still be unlikely to form a light orb.

Consequently, given that the light orb had already formed, the special energy inside it was naturally minimal.

In contrast, due to high-end monsters leaving behind more special energy when they die, even without intentional efforts, enough special energy would gather to form a light orb, the energy inside would, therefore, be significantly stronger than Zhou Tian’s.

Consequently, it was only natural that the attribute enhancement of the Beast King’s Axe would be relatively weak.

“If I keep gathering this special energy like this, then the special energy from all the monsters killed within a month should suffice to create Monster Equipment similar to the Sacrificial Scepter, right?” Upon identifying the key to equipment potency, Zhou Tian contemplated creating powerful equipment.

However, he quickly dismissed this idea.

“No, no, if collecting special energy were that easy, the lords and pontiffs would’ve turned their weapons into defying divine artifacts long ago, and they wouldn’t waste the special energy to forge ordinary monster equipment.

Once a light orb forms, if it comes into contact with a weapon, it will immediately melt into the weapon, turning it into Monster Equipment.

Thus, if I want to gather this special energy, I must prevent it from coming into contact with any weapon.

But how is that even possible?” With this line of thought, Zhou Tian basically sentenced his previous plan to ‘death’.

Why does the light orb form?

It forms due to the aggregation of the special energy left behind by a countless number of dead monsters.

Not discussing how the light orbs in high-level monster areas form, but the light orb here was due to his Beastman Archers having slaughtered a vast number of undead monsters.

The battlefield where the light orb was located teemed with arrow shafts from the Beastman Archers and weapons from the undead monsters.

If any got close to the light orb, they would likely come into contact.

Hence, no matter how many plans Zhou Tian had, he could not ensure no weapons and equipment would come into contact with the light orb.

Without a reliable method to store enough special energy, he would never be able to forge powerful equipment.

“Forget it, I’ll just use whatever equipment I can get!” Despite feeling disappointed, Zhou Tian was not fixated.

After all, if it were not for the unexpected opportunity, he would not have gotten the chance to learn how to create Monster Equipment.

To Zhou Tian, this was a considerable gain.

As for the extent of the gain, it wasn’t of primary importance.
