"Unlucky," Azure Sea Breeze said as he took a glance down the hole and stepped back cautiously .
"How unfortunate," everyone else agreed .
Since the two Boss were close to death, losing a DPS player did not change the outcome of the fight and the party successfully defeated them .
After a short while, they heard Mu Fish's voice from outside the walls .
"Hey brothers, someone come out and help lead me back in – I'm lost . There are so many forked roads and I can't see anything because it's so dark . I feel like I'm about to go crazy . "
The Temple of Hakkar was a complicated and confusing Instance Dungeon . Any casual player who didn't know what they were doing would easily get lost in there .
They had only managed to navigate their way through the dungeon with ease because of Lu Li, who had completed it a couple of times in his past life . After conducting a bit of research, he basically knew the dungeon inside out .
Because of Lu Li's leadership, Mu Fish did not bother memorizing the path that they took . Now that he was all alone, he quickly realized how impossible this task was .
There was nothing that Lu Li could do but to go back and fetch him .
The others did not bother waiting for him and instead began searching the corpses . Without Lu Li's bad luck around, perhaps they would be able to find some good drops .
"Dream, what's wrong with you? What is this!?"
Everyone was stunned at the loot dropped by the Physical Dragon, not because it was a good item, but because it was trash . They did not expect much from such an easy Boss, but they were certain that it would at least drop a Silver equip .
What kind of a Boss dropped a Lv40 Copper Grade equip?!
"It's not my fault; I tried my hardest," Remnant Dream protested .
Lu Li sprinted back to fetch Mu Fish . In reality, he knew that besides three particular Bosses in the Temple of Hakkar, all of the others dropped nothing but trash, which was why he had left without even bothering to check .
When Lu Li led Mu Fish back to where the others were, Remnant Dream had finished looting the Magic Dragon .
"We got nothing, only a recipe . "
Remnant Dream was beginning to doubt her abilities; she had never been so unlucky before .
"What recipe?" Lu Li paused and asked quickly .
"Unholy Weapon," Remnant Dream answered .
"Ok, good stuff . "
Kitty Likes Meat had offered 180 gold for the previous equip before which was quite reasonable .
The Unholy Weapon recipe sold for at least 600 gold in the market . If the rich players had a bidding war, the prices would be even higher . The highest price that Lu Li had heard of in his past life was 1,200 gold . This was an absurd amount of gold – enough to buy a small house .
The Unholy Weapon recipe permanently enchanted a weapon to often inflict a curse on the target, dealing shadow damage and reducing their physical Defense by 10%
Nobody bothered to learn Engineering because the costs were higher and the materials were rarer .
Comparatively, many players learned Enchantment to increase the stats on their weapons . Even though there weren't too many Enchantment recipes currently on the market, it was still a very popular profession .
The Unholy Weapon recipe did not increase the stats, but the Curse special effect made it extremely valuable .
Warlocks preferred to use weapons that had curses on them because they were great for countering Thieves .
The material cost for this recipe was extremely high .
Even after a week of farming, you would barely be able to earn enough money to afford the materials .
The real value of this recipe came from its animation when the effect is activated . Once the Curse was applied, the weapon would emit an eerie-green glow and two skulls would circle around it .
"We're rich! Sell this for no less than 800 gold," Lu Li said in satisfaction .
Divided among ten players, that would be 80 gold each, which was equivalent to about 6,000 dollars . This was more than a month's pay for most people .
Although Lu Li would often make transactions that exceeded 500 gold, most players would rarely have more than 10 gold on themselves at a time .
"Wow, so expensive . "
Everyone was stunned by its price, so Lu Li explained why it was so expensive .
"I want it . I'll give you 80 gold each for it," Azure Sea Breeze said as he pounced onto Remnant Dream and begged her for the recipe .
"You don't even know how to enchant…" Lu Li was speechless .
Everyone was good friends with Azure Sea Breeze and if he wanted something, then usually no one would object . "I'll learn it as soon as we get back . Lu Li, you're right . We should have dreams and goals – otherwise, we would just be lazy couch potatoes," Azure Sea Breeze laughed .
"Fine, I'll sell it to you," Lu Li agreed, then paused and added, "We'll charge you 600 gold . Give us 60 gold each when we return . "
He would have given it to him for free, but it was a recipe that everyone had found together .
If Lu Li said he didn't want his share of gold, the others would probably be too ashamed to accept their shares as well . Since it was still quite a decent amount of money, Lu Li decided to charge his good friend regardless .
In reality, Azure Sea Breeze was quite well-off himself . As the number one Main Tank in the game, he had made earned a fortune by following Lu Li around .
Additionally, whenever someone found a ticket to a private dungeon, they would reach out to him for help . The unwanted equips that he found in these dungeons runs could be disenchanted into materials and used to level up his Enchanting profession .
Once he learned the recipe, he would enchant his weapon first .
When the other players saw the animations on his weapon, they would become curious and ask how he had obtained the effect . Then, he could gather up the materials and offer to enchant their weapons for 10 gold . After a short while, he would be able to make his money back .
Because the game was still quite new, paying 10 gold for such a rare animation would be a bargain .
Azure Sea Breeze could almost see himself becoming a rich CEO, marrying a beautiful wife and finally reaching the peak of his life . He happily put the recipe away in his bag and almost forgot that he still had to pay everyone back .
