Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Titan Solvent (Request for Monthly Tickets)
This is the role of thieves, just like opening a treasure box. Without a thief, you could use engineering keys to open it, but the efficiency would be significantly lower.

It’s the same with secret chambers; thieves have leads to follow when looking for hidden things, while other professions are much worse at it. Of course, this also depends on the proficiency of the thief.

That’s why some thieves aren’t suited for group battles, but are nonetheless indispensable to the team.

This secret chamber isn’t much different from the previous one. Although mechanical gnomes aren’t particularly intelligent, their dedication to and research in engineering is no less than that of real gnomes.

It’s more appropriate to call it an engineering laboratory of those guards.

Just like the various engineering materials, these materials are precious to the current Li Yao, so he unceremoniously collects all of them.

The other players can only envy him as they set their eyes on the box that Ephemeral Bloom is painstakingly trying to open.

This is not a treasure box, but an NPC’s storage box.

Unlike a treasure box, a storage box filled with uncertainty has no quality restrictions.

Moreover, the items it produces are unpredictable. it could be someone’s hidden treasure, a collection of random items, or even some dirty clothes.

What’s inside the storage box depends on its location and some minor judgment.

Click…

“I’m exhausted, this is definitely not a job for humans.”

No wonder Ephemeral Bloom complains. It took her almost an hour to unlock the box this time. The difficulty was notably high, but so was the reward. Her lock-picking skill level has also significantly improved as a result.

“Stop complaining and let the master take a look at what’s inside.” War Horizon is even more anxious than Li Yao, hoping that good loot would benefit them as well.

Li Yao steps forward to open the storage box. The other players look slightly disappointed at the contents, but Li Yao is visibly pleased.

The storage box isn’t very full, and it’s divided into several compartments. Unlike the previous box that was beaming with the glow of gold coins and gemstones, this one seems rather plain and simple.

Li Yao first pulls out a box filled with test tubes, his face immediately lighting up with a smile.

Titan Solvent

Quality: legendary gold

Uses: An important solvent in creating potions and machines.

“A gold-grade item, what is it used for?” War Horizon and his companions’ eyes are gleaming.

Even though they don’t know what it is, its quality tells them that it’s very valuable, surely something extraordinary.

“It’s a solvent that greatly contributes to engineering. But it’s of no use to you guys.”

Li Yao isn’t lying. This solvent is very rare, but at this stage, it would be a waste for players to use it.

Although the formula for making it is known and the ingredient isn’t hard to find, extracting it is incredibly difficult. What Li Yao has in his hands might be the combined extraction quantity of gnomes and goblins in one year, only half.

As for the solvent’s function, it can remelt the machine body, making it more powerful, and it’s an essential item in creating a mechanical core.

Putting it simply, many circuits in the machinery are very complex, but with solvent, you can incorporate these circuits into the machine body to form Titan rune-like patterns.

Doing so basically eliminates the possibility of malfunctions. Li Yao’s mechanical pet has complex internal circuits, but with this new resource, Li Yao’s success rate in evolving his mechanical pets will surely increase by several times.

Seeing Li Yao not willing to reveal more details, the others don’t dare to ask anymore. Li Yao naturally puts his items carefully into his mechanical space.

Li Yao takes out a box from the second compartment, inside of which are dozens of small test tubes filled with a potion that is glinting with a golden light.

“Oh my, could it be another legendary potion.” Light Flower’s eyes have also turned red. The pain of always seeing good items but never acquiring them is too difficult to bear.

“Not so.” Li Yao reveals the item to them.

King Kong Mechanical Potion

Quality: Excellent blue

Turning the flesh body into a machine body for 1 day, reducing all damage by 15%.

After drinking, you will be in an invincible state for 5 seconds, taking no damage.

Note: After drinking, you will become immune to all other potions, and drinking any other potion would result in no effects.

Battle Potion: Revive after dying while maintaining the potion effects.

“What superb potion.” The others simultaneously look at Li Yao.

“It’s not bad, changing into a mechanical body will slightly affect agility, but it doesn’t matter much. It’s considered a rare potion, but the quantity is too scarce.”

If we had this kind of potion during a guild war, we would have a much higher chance of winning, but that’s clearly too unrealistic. Li Yao isn’t too hung up about it. He’s more interested in the 5-second invincibility.

“You can each have a bottle. Given your current abilities, using it would be a waste, so use them cautiously.” Li Yao is in a good mood and straightaway gives them each a bottle.

War Horizon and his group are overjoyed. Only the one who was generously given two bottles, Ephemeral Bloom, rolls her eyes. She looks at Li Yao, who’s putting away dozens of bottles of potions, and it’s quite clear what his role is.

However, she doesn’t feel resentful. It’s a game after all, everyone is rewarded according to their abilities. She’s fortunate enough to be undertaking elite quests in the Light Faction. Li Yao had worked his way up to playing an NPC role. It was generous of him to share items with them. Even if Li Yao didn’t give them anything, they couldn’t complain.

Li Yao picks up another small bag and upon opening it, a dazzling light shimmers.

“Ten Hawk Eye Stones.” Li Yao puts away the bag without any hesitation.

“Master, what’s it used for?” War Horizon asks.

“It’s one of the best gems to use when creating eyes for a mechanical puppet.”

Li Yao understands his implication, but such an item is worth hundreds of times more than ordinary gemstones and is often not available on the market. He wouldn’t dream of giving it away. He’s still making do with off-brand gemstones for his puppet’s eyes. In the future, he will surely need many more when making pets. He doesn’t have enough for himself.

The other players are somewhat disappointed. Although they know the item is very valuable, if Li Yao isn’t sharing, they can’t do anything about it.

Li Yao takes out the last box, which contains scrolls based on its thickness, at least five sets.

Flame Hydra Scroll

Quality: Excellent blue

Summon a Flame Hydra to attack the enemy

Flame Hydra

Attack Frequency: 1 time/sec

Attack Distance: 0-50 yards

Attack Skills: Fireball, Flame Explosion, Fire Wall

Duration: 2 minutes

Spell Intensity: Spellcaster’s Spell Intensity *1.5

Unleash Quantity: 0/1

The Flame Hydra is a very rare skill of an elite profession branch of the Fire Mage.

“It’s so powerful, it’s like a stationary elemental pet.” The magician, known as Sky of Spells, is practically drooling.

On the other hand, the melee and physical professions are less interested because it requires spell intensity. Of course, they could potentially sell it to someone else to make a small profit…
