Of course, even among Quasi-Saint Weapons, there were differences in quality.
Tie Yang's "Ba Fang Halberd" only barely ranked third.
Don't ask why it was called the "Ba Fang Halberd." Chao Bafang nominated the name! After all, Tie Yang planned to sell this weapon to Chao Bafang at an internal price.
Perhaps it was because every employee at Yang Shan Company, including Little Yao Xi, had achieved true financial freedom.
Combined with the company's exceptionally good atmosphere, the employees generally did not fuss too much over money with one another.
Old Man Tie Yang promised that as long as he could forge them, and neither Chao Bafang nor Zhu Tianpeng obtained a Quasi-Saint Weapon anytime soon, he would fully equip the two of them.
By fully equip, he really only meant one weapon and one piece of armor each.
To reduce Players' burden, Tian Yao Company had deliberately cut down on equipment categories. They had even done away with boots.
In many heavily monetized online games, armor was split into tops, bottoms, pants, shoes, and so on.
Then there were the "three gold pieces"—necklaces, bracelets, and rings, every slot crammed full.
They called it "deep progression."
Deep progression my ass!
A game like Battle Through the Heavens integrated every aspect of progression into Players' everyday gameplay, allowing them to enjoy improvements in every area while playing on their own initiative.
That was the true purpose of game progression!
Among the top three in the artifact forging competition, Tie Yang was the only Player. The next highest-ranked Player, "Ouyang Da Chui," was actually from the Wolf Pack Guild! It was foreseeable that the Wolf Pack Guild's future equipment output would earn an excellent reputation for quality.
Heaven Flame Alliance's top artifact forger, "Wang Defa," had suffered a major upset this time.
