Chapter 329 - WEAPONS' UNIQUE TRAITS
BUT Yu Jiao still needed to ask. "Ahm, do you like it?"
As she asked that, she didn't notice that she came back to her old habit again. Clenching the hem of her shirt and began fiddling with it. This showed that she was truly nervous. As if she wouldn't be able to calm down as long as she didn't hear a verbal confirmation that the two really liked the weapons she made for them.
"Are you kidding? I absolute love it!" said Luo Yan holding the twin daggers as if they were treasures.
The little fox sitting on the center table stared at the daggers. [Mashter, the weapon made by this handsome brother really suits you. It's black like Eclipse. Very pretty.]
Luo Yan almost laughed, it's like this little guy was only saying that the twin daggers were pretty because it had the same color as his fur. He sat down and just ruffled Eclipse's fluffy head. Then he carefully put back the daggers in the wooden box.
Luo Jin, on the other hand, cleared his throat and tried to calm down his excitement upon seeing his new weapon. "It's okay." Then as if he realized that what he said was a bit underwhelming and perfunctory, he added in a more serious manner, "Thank you. I will use it well."
Yu Jiao finally smiled brightly. She didn't even notice that she already stopped fiddling with the hem of her shirt. "I'm glad. Then, shall I explain some details about your new weapons?"
"Please," Luo Yan said in which Luo Jin nodded in agreement.
"Let me begin with Luo Jin's. Three of the main materials I used were the materials that you gave me. The ice and fire alloys and the amplification stone. As you may have already noticed, I used one alloy for one gun. These types of elemental alloys could produce an elemental attribute to the weapons they were mixed in. But that all depends on the purity of the alloy itself. The alloys you gave me only have about 25% purity. So, to increase the chance of your weapon having an elemental attribute, I added a small fire and ice crystal to each gun. Now, the probability of each gun producing fire and ice when you're attacking is increased to about 40%. With the help of the amplification crystal, the strength of your weapon's attack also increased by 10%."
Listening to Yu Jiao's long explanation about his new weapon, Luo Jin looked down at the two guns he was holding. The copper red in color with the red crystal should be the one with the fire attribute while the other one with metallic blue color and blue crystal should have an ice attribute.
Even though the percentage of producing fire or ice with each attack was below 50%, he had no complaints at all. Those odds were definitely better than nothing. And in addition to the passive skill unique to his race, these guns would still be one hell of a weapon. Not to mention the additional 10% increase in the attacking power.
Then Yu Jiao turned to Luo Yan and began explaining in detail.
"I used the Umbra metal your provided as the blade of the daggers. Because of its innate connection to the shadow element, the blade that was made from it would have a natural shadow attribute. It could be used for any shadow related skills that you have or may acquire in the future. But the core I used for the two daggers was the core of the Eternal Lotus that you gave. I cut it in two and put each half to one dagger. That clear, almost transparent crystal you see at the middle was the Eternal Lotus. Because of its addition, whenever an enemy sustained damage from one of your daggers, they would automatically stop moving for three seconds."
Luo Yan nodded in understanding. He gazed down again at the twin daggers. Because his race, the moon elves, had a natural affinity towards the shadow element, it's like this weapon was tailored made for him. Add that to the time-stopping skill added by the core of the Eternal Lotus and these twin daggers was simply the best weapon he could have at this moment.
He raised his head and looked at Yu Jiao. "Thank you, Jiao Jiao. You're amazing!"
He could see that Yu Jiao put a lot of thought into the design and even the use of the weapons she made for them. Knowing that she made all those efforts simply made his heart warm.
Yu Jiao's face immediately turned red with the compliment. "I-it's nothing."
"How much should we pay?" Luo Yan asked.
"There's no need," Yu Jiao quickly said after she heard Luo Yan's question. "Since the materials I used were mostly from you two, you can just have them for free."
"No. How could we do that? That's totally like we're abusing your kindness," Luo Yan immediately rejected the idea. "Just charge us like normal. Don't worry we totally won't mind."
Even though Luo Jin didn't speak, it was obvious by the expression on his face that he also agreed to what his brother said.
When Luo Yan saw that Yu Jiao was still hesitating, he added, "Jiao Jiao, the two of us paying you wouldn't devalue our friendship. It's only natural for people to pay money when they're buying something. That also applied between friends. Just imagine if a store owner gives all the product in his store to his friends for free, he would surely go bankrupt in no time." Then he finished in a playful tone to ease the atmosphere. "Besides, whatever price you give, the two of us could certainly afford it."
Yu Jiao was certainly comforted by Luo Yan's words. She was truly hesitating with the idea of letting them pay for the weapons she made. Because she made them without the thought of money in mind. She just simply wanted them to like it and hoped that the weapons would be useful to them.
Because of what Luo Yan said, she no longer insisted for them to not pay. And she just said, "T-then at least let me give you a 20% friendly discount."
Luo Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard that. "Okay."
After Yu Jiao told them the price, the Luo brothers happily transferred a lot of crystal coins to her account.
