Ye Zhongming truly did not notice any special manufacturing techniques of the Rong Clan Holy Armor, but he had ten years of experience and was now an excellent craftsman. Therefore, he had some knowledge related to manufacturing in his mind.
When he saw that this armor, which should have been silver quality due to the silver material being enchanted, had turned white instead, he recalled a technique from his previous life.
Color limitation.
In simple terms, it refers to a situation where very special or rare equipment cannot be upgraded beyond certain tiers when leveling up.
Ye Zhongming was originally unable to confirm the truth of this legend, after all, in his previous life, he was merely a senior evolver and had little contact with powerful figures, let alone rare professions like craftsmen.
However, upon seeing the Rong Clan Holy Armor, which was enchanted with three pieces of silver quality Drilling Sea Gold but could only reach the white level, Ye Zhongming felt that this color limitation theory might really exist.
If this theory is true, then what about another one he knew?
He wanted to try it.
“Officer Mo, come here!”
Ye Zhongming called out loudly, causing everyone in the Ying City Coalition, who were nervously preparing for battle, to turn their heads in surprise.
Mo Ye's rare blush appeared, and her beautiful eyes turned a bit unkind as she looked at Ye Zhongming.
The title "Officer Mo" was something Ye Zhongming occasionally joked about with Mo Ye, but calling her that in front of so many people made Mo Ye feel a bit shy inside.
“What do you want? I'm busy.” Mo Ye pouted and glared at Ye Zhongming as she asked.
Ye Zhongming didn't mind and smiled, “What kind of attitude is that?”
“Giving my all for a certain slacker yet still being called around like this!” Although Mo Ye usually seemed a bit reserved, she felt comfortable enough with familiar people, especially Ye Zhongming, whom she had met on the first day of the apocalypse and fought alongside since then; she felt she could say anything to him without worry.
Rubbing her nose, Ye Zhongming smiled awkwardly, glanced at the approaching sea beast tide, and then grabbed Mo Ye's arm, “Give me some blood.”
Huh?
Mo Ye was taken aback, and many who were still watching also froze. They couldn't hear the conversation between the two but could see their actions, leading to ambiguous glances among them.
Indeed, it was the apocalypse; it seemed Boss Ye not only successfully captured Zhao Xingmei but had also ‘tainted’ the beautiful Mo Ye.
Ye Zhongming was unaware that his action had equated him with the 'color demon'. The dagger deftly made a small cut on Mo Ye's wrist.
Ye Zhongming was very satisfied with Mo Ye's trust in him. After obtaining some blood, he had Park Soo-young perform the sweet dew technique on Mo Ye and then said, “You all keep fighting for now,” as he lowered his head to start fiddling with the equipment.
This left Mo Ye and Park Soo-young, who heard his words, a bit speechless.
Is there such a boss? What does "you all keep fighting" mean?
With Ye Zhongming’s irresponsible attitude, the second defensive battle in Cloud Port against the sea beast tide officially began.
At the same time, while strengthening the Drilling Sea Gold, Ye Zhongming infused Mo Ye's blood and took out three even more precious pieces of Ghost Gold. As he enchanted them, he also applied Mo Ye's blood on the Rong Clan Holy Armor that little Xiuying had worn.
Xiuying's Rong Clan Holy Armor was significantly better than the previous grey one.
