Heaven-Defying Repair Light Powder

Legend has it that mermaid tears can turn into pearls, and whoever finds a pearl will surely smile with joy because of its value.

And Hero Elsa, is even more formidable.

Before her tears could even turn into pearls, the corners of the mouth of someone who had been spying on her stretched up wildly, impossible to suppress; the smile was beyond joy.

The city lord's room.

Gong Qiying covered his mouth, trying to force his lips down, but his mouth seemed to have a mind of its own, stretching out wider and wider.

Calm down, calm down, I can't laugh at something so despicable!

He felt as if Buddha, Jesus Hong Xiuquan, and flying spaghetti were all watching him from behind, and his merits were going crazy -1-1

But how can you not laugh at something so funny?!

He glanced at Elsa, who was wiping away tears, and finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.

He then let out a hearty laugh, which intensified the gloom in the room.

The adventurers' miserable state was his source of amusement in this dungeon.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he rubbed his eyes, which were wet with tears from laughing, and opened his notebook while watching the mercenaries pack up and retreat.

Gong Qiying only recently discovered something – the weapons and equipment that adventurers obtained from the Zane Dungeon have started to break down.

Leon's Backhand Sword was the first example he noticed. After careful observation over the past few days, he discovered that many people's weapons had varying degrees of wear and tear or even damage.

The blacksmiths in this world can repair broken weapons to their original form, but although the appearance is repaired, the weapon is still essentially damaged. Not only are its various functions reduced, but it will also be damaged again as soon as it is used in Weapon Skill.

It seems that the products of the Zane Dungeon are fundamentally different from those of this world, which can be seen from the fact that weapons can be equipped with Weapon Skill.

So, he's going to launch "after-sales service" for the Zane Dungeon, which is Equipment Repair.

Unlike Dark Souls 2, Sion's equipment doesn't deteriorate as quickly, nor is it indestructible like the Elden Ring. Frequent use of Weapon Skill and lack of maintenance will cause the equipment's lifespan to decrease rapidly, so after-sales service is still very necessary.

First, Andre, the blacksmith located in Lake Liurnia, will launch an [Equipment Repair] service. Equipment can be repaired by spending souls, and the number of souls required depends on the value of the equipment.

Secondly, he needs to add items to Repair Light Powder. He is looking for suitable locations to place these items, ideally with a stable production point, where the merchant Ka Lie can also sell them in limited quantities.

[Repair Light Powder]

Metallic powder with a faint magical quality

Weapons and armor that can be repaired cannot be repaired if their durability has dropped to 0.

Another magic is [Repair]. This magic from Oolacile has similar effects to Repair Light Powder and is quite practical.

Gong Qiying doesn't intend to hinder adventurers in terms of Equipment Repair. Rather, with a convenient and fast repair method, the Sain-type equipment can become more popular and more versatile.

After all, some people have already shown signs of being reluctant to use their weapons because they cherish them. For example, Leon's Ringed Knight Straight Sword is gathering dust in his room, which is not interesting at all.

On another note, regarding the Repair Light Powder, this tool actually has a rather overpowered feature.

This thing is a product of light, or rather, time magic, and its way of repairing equipment is to reverse time back to a perfectly intact state!

If the magicians of this world could perceive the true nature of Repair Light Powder, they would probably fall into deep self-doubt and doubt about the world. Who would use such high-level time magic to repair equipment?

Before making the decision to put the Repair Light Powder into the dungeon, Gong Qiying carefully checked it to ensure that its extraordinary nature would not cause problems for the world.

One reason is that the cost of Repair Light Powder is not high, or rather, it is very cheap, and it can be wholesaled in large quantities.

Secondly, it can only be used to repair weapons and equipment. Gong Qiying specially found materials and experimented with them one by one to arrive at this result. For example, magical items in this world that are destroyed after use are not within the scope of the Repair Light Powder, such as magic scrolls.

As long as the Repair Light Powder can only be used to repair equipment, then even if it is essentially time magic, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Release a small amount first to see people's reaction, and if there are no problems, then expand it further."

"Next, they will probably pass on the information about Overlord Wolnir to others, and I estimate that a large wave of people will flood in within a few days."

When is the most popular time in the Zane Dungeon? It's when a new area opens and a new boss appears.

So, in this no-prize quiz, what is the one thing you absolutely must do when there's the highest foot traffic?

Gong Qiying opened the City Lord Panel, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.

Of course, they'll secretly raise the stats of regular monsters, then lower them back down after that!

I have to say, being a game planner is quite enjoyable, especially since he can maintain a balance and not disgust adventurers to the point of quitting the game.

Even a clever cook can't cook without rice, but if there's rice, a clever cook will always come up with a way.

There's plenty of rice in the Zane Dungeon right now, so there's no shortage of people to cook.

The headquarters of the Light Eagle Legion.

The mercenaries crowded around a house, craning their necks curiously. Each of them wore an expression of having spotted a rare animal, but even with the large group, no one dared to make a sound. After all...

This is Elsa's house, the captain of the Assault Team.

The reason everyone gathered here was mainly because they had heard some rumors.

"What do you mean Captain Gers ran out of the dungeon crying?"

Crying? Gers?

How exactly are these two words linked together?

People usually see Elsa's ruthless and merciless manner of killing people and think that she is a bloodless and tearless cosmic emperor, and that the word "cry" has nothing to do with her in her entire life.

Some people wanted to watch the excitement, some wanted to show concern, and some...

"Get out of here! What are you all doing gathered around here? I think you're just bored!"

Logistics team leader Aston yelled at the mercenaries around him, "Get back to work! All you want to do is watch the show, don't you?"

The Assault Team also came to support their captain, glaring menacingly at every mercenary who wanted to watch the show.

Once the mercenaries who had been watching had all dispersed, Aston waved his hand at the house with a bored expression, then turned and left.

The curtains were pulled open a crack, and Elsa watched him leave before closing them again.

On her bed, the greatsword, broken in two, was roughly bound with strips of cloth, as if she intended to use this method to reassemble it.

Unfortunately, this is absolutely impossible. Ever since the greatsword broke, it seems to be missing something. It looks the same as before, but it seems to have lost some of its luster.

It's not just the luster; the sharpness seems to have disappeared as well. In short, it looks like it's dead.

Elsa stared blankly at the weapon, having already cried all she could, and now she had to find a way to repair it.

But how can I fix it?

"Captain Gers, if I may be so bold, I think you should change your weapon. This sword is beyond repair. If you need it, I can forge an identical weapon for you right now."

The thought of what the blacksmith of the Light Eagle Legion said filled her with resentment. The world is so big, is there really no way to restore her beloved weapon?

She bit her lip. At this moment, she couldn't blame anyone but herself for not recognizing her own strength and recklessly going to fight the Overlord Wolnir.

He had gained unexpected power because of his desire to protect his companions. This unprecedented power boosted his confidence, but how could he still be blasted apart by the Wolnir Holy Sword?

Could it be that her emotional fluctuations weren't intense enough?

Since the tragedy that struck her in childhood, she has suffered a mental breakdown, which has made her emotionally detached and often appear dull. However, through the stimulation of the Assault Team' interactions with people, she has gradually become able to show some emotional fluctuations, and the greatsword responds to her changes. This seems to be a unique talent she possesses as Brave.

If one day she could experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness like a normal person, would she be able to fully unleash the power of Brave?

If an emotion reaches its extreme, such as extreme anger, is it possible to unleash an even more powerful force?

It's unclear; this ability to act against one's conscience cannot be deduced using common sense.

She stared at the greatsword, the weapon that had been with her for almost her entire life, as if petrified. From dawn to dusk, and then back to dawn, no one came. This was her own request; she didn't want to be disturbed.

The captains and vice-captains are probably discussing the news about Overlord Wolnir right now, aren't they?

Taking advantage of the early dawn and before the people in the camp had come out to move around much, she walked out of the house and headed out of the camp, probably to clear her head.

But as soon as she stepped out of the camp, she saw a vibrant scene. Outside the portal to the Zane Dungeon, adventurers were chatting and laughing about their gains and experience. Even at dawn, the area around the portal was bustling with activity, a scene full of vitality.

Seeing the lively scene made Elsa feel a little better. Lately, she really enjoyed seeing other people's smiling faces, as it reminded her of Ta Mi.

Just then, the sound of adventurers discussing something reached her ears.

"Have you heard? Grandpa Andre can repair damaged equipment now! As long as there's a soul, he can fix it!"

"Really? That's great! I never dared to use Weapon Skill before."

The two adventurers had barely finished speaking when they felt a strong gaze coming from behind them. Turning around, they saw Elsa staring intently at them.

"What... is there something you need?"

"Please tell me in detail what you just said!"

A moment later, Elsa was running back to camp, a rare look of obvious joy on her face.

Blacksmith Andre can repair weapons, no matter how badly they are damaged!

You can meet the old man with the white beard as long as you go to Lake Liurnia!

She needed to tell Sally the news as soon as possible, and set off with the greatsword. If it was inconvenient for Sally, she would go by herself. In any case, she had to repair the greatsword as quickly as possible!

No matter who it is, we absolutely cannot stop her, we absolutely cannot let her give up her idea of repairing the giant sword right now.

"Commander?"

When she ran to her little house, she saw a tall, straight figure.

Iliphis, with Sally beside him, seeing Elsa running, Sally asked in surprise, "Are you alright now?"

Elsa smiled again, about to tell Sally about her new discovery, but Iliphis spoke up.

"It's so good to see you cheer up, Gers."

He revealed a gentle smile, a smile that could instantly captivate the Royal Palace maids, bring confidence and hope to the mercenaries of the Light Eagle Legion, and also inspire Elsa.

But this time, Elsa suddenly sensed something and her body instinctively moved backward.

Iliphis this subtle gesture; his blue eyes gleamed as he spoke:

"Let's get ready to go, Gers. Today we will utterly crush the Overlord."
