Start cheating from The King's Avatar

"You've been fiddling with the camera for an hour, and that's all you want to tell us, right?" Wei Chen, sitting in his seat, was speechless. "Tell me something you don't know! Little Gun King!"

Wu Chen, as the person in charge of the guild, also nodded at this time. He was very familiar with the current material situation of Xingxin.

"No, although we all know that materials are in short supply now, what I want to say is that our materials are far from enough." Su Lan flipped through the pages quickly, finally stopping at the page filled with pictures of the Thousand Machine Umbrella in various forms and details.

"The 75 level cap update certainly gives us a chance to level the playing field a little, but that's not the whole point."

"After all, we won't officially enter the professional league until a year from now. By that time, level 75 silver equipment will have already become commonplace in the professional circle, so we won't actually have any advantage."

"This is something we know, but there's nothing we can do about it," Wu Chen reminded.

“There is a way.”

Su Lan tapped the notebook with the tip of her pen, signaling everyone to look carefully.

"Because the materials for each form of the Thousand Chance Umbrella need to be processed independently, the total materials required are two or even three times more than those for an ordinary silver weapon."

“It’s a disadvantage that it’s very intensive, but it’s also an advantage.”

"The greater the capacity to accommodate materials, the more ways you can exploit the combination of material properties."

"I envision using these materials to significantly improve the quality and level of weapons while also gaining a property that allows characters to still equip weapons even when their weapon level is higher than their character level."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Ji's voice came from the laptop across from Su Lan: "Breaking through the weapon level cap? Is that really possible?"

Luo Ji was still in school, so he joined the online meeting after receiving Su Lan's notification.

There was the sound of flipping pages, and Su Lan briefly introduced his own theory to the other party.

To Ye Xiu and the others, it was just a bunch of incoherent chatter that made no sense.

"In short, if the weapon can carry enough materials, by using a specific combination, when the weapon breaks through to level 75, it can still be used by characters below level 75; when it breaks through to level 80, it can be used by characters below level 80." Su Lan saw the doubts in everyone's eyes, and quickly omitted the verification process and gave his own academic conclusion.

"Level 80?" Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were dumbfounded. If this was really possible, it would have a huge impact on the game.

"Wait, wait, wait, you also said that the Thousand Machine Umbrella... and your revolver are both monster silver weapons, different from ordinary ones. What about the other silver weapons? Normal weapons don't have the capacity to accommodate so many materials!" Wei Chen had been deeply involved in homemade weapons after all, and immediately realized the key.

"My Black Explanation and White Chaser, as well as Old Ye's Thousand Chance Umbrella, have all been used to contain Orange weapons in their various forms. So, maybe, just maybe! I can completely contain... for example, Chunjun, into Huowu Liuyan, without affecting the position of the materials or compromising their integrity. However, when the two materials are combined, they can produce the attribute of 'equipment level reduction'."

Su Lan turned to another page, which had some symbols written on it that Wei Chen couldn't understand.

"This..." Ye Xiu widened his eyes, stroking his chin for a long time without saying anything.

“This is too expensive!”

Wei Chen shouted. He didn't understand the symbols, but he understood what Su Lan meant:

"One silver weapon requires three or four silver weapons as seasoning. Are you treating your brother Wei like an ATM?"

"Ahem..." Su Lan cleared his throat. "These are all theoretical assumptions. Our first step must be to experiment with the Thousand Machine Umbrella. Once we find the right combination of materials, we can use them to forge new silver weapons."

"Of course, the most important thing about silver weapons is their overall attributes. Level isn't the goal but the means. Therefore, these silver weapons used as auxiliary materials can't be too inferior. At least they need to achieve the effect of one plus one equals two."

"These are things we'll need to consider later, so for now, all we need is enough materials to experiment with the Thousand Machine Umbrella."

After listening to Su Lan's explanation, Wei Chen's worries were at least alleviated a little. He didn't know whether the "reduced level cap" attribute that Su Lan hypothesized existed or not.

But as a veteran pro player and Silver Equipment maker, he actually hoped such a method truly existed, both for its potential in-game benefits and as a breakthrough in Silver Equipment development. This was probably, no, definitely, a milestone discovery for the Glory League, giving teams a new direction to focus on.

"Hmm... not bad, we still have a lot of time. Xiao Su will try it out with the existing materials first. Our goal before the version update is to strive to get more wild map bosses. After the version update, we will upgrade as soon as possible and try to grab the rewards for being the first to kill and clear the dungeon." Ye Xiu nodded in approval of Su Lan's experimental hypothesis. After going through so much, he has complete trust in Su Lan's level. The Thousand Machine Umbrella itself will definitely not be damaged during the experiment.

Happy certainly had plenty of time to think about it. As long as they didn't run into any misfortunes, Excellent Era would definitely be the final boss. Su Lan had just explained that the current level of Silver weapons was simply reserved to reserve material space and wouldn't affect their Silver upgrade progress. Therefore, by the time they faced Excellent Era, Happy would undoubtedly already have a large inventory of Silver equipment. Furthermore, after this update, Excellent Era wouldn't necessarily be able to fully upgrade all of their Silver equipment to level 75. If Happy obtained a high-quality Level 75 Orange weapon, it wouldn't necessarily be inferior to a Level 70 Silver item.

If all goes well and they enter the professional league the year after defeating Excellent Era, they will already be a true professional team. With sponsors, Su Lan's funding issues will be easily resolved.

Upon hearing this, everyone simply regarded it as a new training goal. As for Su Lan's experiment, they didn't quite understand it, and unlike Wei Chen and Luo Ji, they were even less aware of the difficulty behind it. They simply assumed that since Su Lan had proposed it, it would eventually be solved.

Because of Su Lan's experiment, Xingxin tilted more resources towards the Five Guild Alliance, but other large guilds also invested 90% of their resources in the battle for wild maps in order to give the club some performance.

From mid-November to early December, the landscape of wild map competition changed dramatically. There was less intrigue between guilds, and teams rushed forward brandishing their weapons. People from more than a dozen guilds fought in a group, and for a while, no clear pattern could be seen, or perhaps the team leaders had no plan at all, and just risked their lives to fill the gaps.

The Five Guilds Alliance, acting as usual according to Happy's tactical arrangements, surprisingly failed to gain any advantage. After several operations, it was unclear why the wild map boss fell into the hands of a single guild.

However, the more chaotic the wild map grabbing scene became, the happier scavengers like Mo Fan were. In the past two weeks, none of the Five Guilds Alliance and several other large guilds had the most outstanding harvests, but the warehouses of the Destroyer were filled to the brim.

"It seems that our harvest is the greatest?"

When counting the spoils, everyone in Happy looked at the dozens of new orange equipment and even more purple equipment in Mo Fan's warehouse in silence.
