Found the Cause

Old Wang currently possesses four Epic equipment pieces: the Energy Core [Source of Magic], the Level 50 Core Engine [Mystic Phoenix Engine], the Propulsion Device [Sky-Piercing Wings], and the newly acquired Armor Paint [Annihilation Forest Armor].

This is already outrageous; there aren't even four Epic items known throughout the entire game.

Right now, all he can replace are the Mecha shield and the Reconnaissance Device, but these two Legendary items actually have pretty strong growth attributes.

There's also the weapon, but the level 50 Dragon-Rising Jian isn't weak either!

The attributes are simply insufficient; this feeling is quite clear!

"Fill the space with stones first. If that doesn't work, then we'll just have to waste that one stone!" Old Wang said, looking at his attributes.

He currently has one [Equipment Evolution Stone], which can be used to upgrade an item into Epic.

He bought this stone from a random shop, and it was the best item he had ever acquired.

Old Wang originally planned to upgrade a level 60 Epic after reaching level 60.

After all, it seems that the current level cap is 60. A level 60 Epic and a level 60 growth Epic have exactly the same stats, so they can be considered end-game gear.

After crafting the equipment, the next step is to add sockets. Adding sockets is the most difficult part of Epic equipment because you need to dismantle a piece of Legendary Equipment to add one socket.

The third socket requires an Epic item, and the success rate is incredibly low.

However, Old Wang isn't subject to the success rate limit, and he hasn't even used up all his fishing rewards yet!

However, he is limited by the materials available; he doesn't lack Legendary Equipment, but he can't get Epic.

He wasn't rich enough to dismantle Epic gear to drill holes in it.

Fortunately, the Mystic Phoenix Engine has evolved over time, and all the sockets were already filled when it was at a lower level, which is equivalent to saving an Epic equipment.

Unlike the other pieces, the six holes ruined Old Wang's six Legendary.

Fortunately, his random shop usually pops up some useless Legendary Equipment, otherwise he wouldn't be able to collect all the Legendary.

After finishing the task, Old Wang saw the Azure Dragon Legion's Horn Ship and went to the Quartermaster to exchange for a set of Legendary Socket Stone.

His Merit weren't actually enough, but as the Legion Commander of the Spacetime Legion in the Fifth Legion, he could get a 60% discount, and with all the Planet expansion he'd been making these past few days, he could just manage to get it.

After this set of stones was inlaid, Old Wang used a few Perfect stones to fill the other empty slots, but the attributes were still not enough.

However, this time Old Wang felt more clearly where the problem lay, and then he looked at the Dragon-Rising Jian in his hand.

His spiritual perception told him that what he was lacking was an Epic Weapon.

The Dragon-Rising Jian has Epic potential, but it needs to be leveled up to 60.

If he uses Enhancement Stone to enhance it, Old Wang will lose not just one level 60 Epic, but two.

This made him hesitate!

"Should I look for a level 50 Legendary item to use as a temporary measure?" Old Wang thought to himself.

Old Wang was definitely reluctant to trade two level 60 Epic items for one level 50 item, so he decided to try getting a level 50 Legendary item as a temporary solution.

Epic gear is hard to find, but Legendary is still somewhat possible.

"I'm going to farm the World Boss [Starry Sky Conqueror], anyone want to team up?" Old Wang sent a message in the group.

The World Boss [Starry Sky Conqueror] is a level 55 Legendary boss that spawns every 15 days. Every time it is defeated, it drops Legendary Weapon that can be upgraded to level 60. It is the most popular boss in the entire game, bar none.

Old Wang had fought this boss once before, when it was first discovered, but that time it dropped an auxiliary item, which he gave to Sister Hua.

After that, since there was no demand and he needed to attend to other matters due to the formation of the legion, he didn't go again.

Others from the Future went a few times and managed to snag two pieces of equipment each.

"Do you still have needs from him?" Lin Qimeng asked.

Aside from the Legendary Weapon, this boss has absolutely no other valuable items.

"Hmm! For my Mecha Evolution, I need a level 60 Legendary or a level 50 Epic!" Old Wang said.

"You're getting more and more sophisticated!"

"Wow, I want to sign up!"

"I definitely want to go fight the boss with the boss!"

"Me too!"

People from the Future were very enthusiastic about signing up, Old Wang quickly assembled a group of several hundred people.

To prevent any mishaps, Old Wang mobilized the entire Future main force this time. In addition, none of these hundreds of people were weak, so this can definitely be called the Future First Group.

This raid group can probably handle [Starry Sky Conqueror] without any other guilds even needing to help; they can manage it themselves.

The next refresh time for [Starry Sky Conqueror] is two days later. After agreeing on the time with them, Old Wang logged off.

Two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Old Wang did not give up searching for news of the Epic Weapon, but there was absolutely no news.

If Epic equipment were so easy to obtain, there wouldn't be only a handful in the entire game.

"Everyone's here, right? Let's go!"

With Old Wang's command, the group piloted the Dawn towards the location of the [Starry Sky Conqueror].

The Endless Starfield is the name of the Starry Sky at the junction of the Central Star Region and another Star Domain. Although it is not large in area and connects the two Star Domain, its magnetic field is complex and it is extremely easy to lose one's way.

The first human exploration of this place took three whole years to complete, hence the name Endless Starfield.

Although it was later proven that this place wasn't very large, they didn't change its name, and the World Boss [Starry Sky Conqueror] spawns here.

[Starry Sky Conqueror] is actually a space Giant Beast lost in this Star Domain. Because Giant Beast looks very much like Godzilla, Player usually call it Godzilla or Godzilla.

However, they are actually different. Its head is much larger and more angular than Godzilla's, and it does not have Godzilla's dorsal fin.

But that doesn't stop Player from giving him names!

Although they had tried to arrive early, the group found themselves late when they Future got there.

The area is now filled with Starship; they're all here waiting for the boss to spawn.

These days, Galaxy-class Starship are no longer a rarity.

There are branches of large guilds, and small guilds established by skilled players who are unwilling to settle for mediocrity. There are already tens of thousands of guilds in the game.

Each of these guilds owns at least one Galaxy-Class Starship, and some even own several.

Starship have become an important tool for Player to explore the Universe, and Player have adapted to them very quickly.

There are at least a hundred Starship in this Starry Sky, quietly hovering far away from where the boss spawns.

They don't use Starship to fight bosses. This isn't to say that Starship are ineffective, but rather that bosses might sink the Starship that attack them.

Starship are arguably the most important asset for most guilds; once destroyed, even securing the boss might not make up for the loss.

What's more, there's a chance you might not even be able to snatch it, which would be a double loss!

If you want to use Starship to fight the boss, these people won't stop you; they'll even welcome it.

Because the boss will prioritize targeting high-risk enemies, having you help draw their aggro is invaluable.

At first, no one paid attention to the arrival of the people from the Future, because they would reach the main Starship every few minutes due to the fall.

Anyway, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities when the time comes, so they won't bother to pay attention.

But the situation changed once someone recognized the Dawn.

The most obvious sign was that the Starship around the Dawn moved away to show respect for this "number one" Starship among Player and the Future Guild.

Because of the Space-Time, the Dawn may not be the most famous Starship now, but its fame is definitely not much less than that of the Space-Time.

This Starship witnessed the Future and the rise of Old Wang, and it was also the Player's first Starship in the game.

"What's going on over there? Why are they moving now?" Someone on the other side of the battlefield asked the person next to them after seeing what was happening.

"Have no idea!"

"The Dawn of the Future has arrived, and they are making way for it!"

"The Future! I wonder who they are this time?"

"Anyone will do, as long as it's not that person!"

"Damn it, don't jump to conclusions! If it really is that person, let's pack up and go back!"

"No! No! If that person comes, I'll livestream myself doing a handstand while pooping!"

Old Wang, Dawn, was unaware of the bets made by those people. If he had known, he might have revealed himself to them and asked for a live stream link.

Although it's quite disgusting, this kind of spectacle is truly not to be missed!

I wonder if he keeps his word?
