A brave player who started by touching corpses

Inlaying gemstones on equipment with holes is probably the simplest and most straightforward of all equipment enchantment types, and even a pure amateur novice can complete the enchantment.

But because of this, drilling holes has become a special skill that humans can hardly master.

Only a very small number of high-level blacksmiths who are given certain rules can do it.

And there is such a person in the Qixing City.

The blacksmith's name is Okdo, an old blacksmith with mixed dwarf and Cyclops blood. He has a burly body far beyond that of ordinary people, a signature dwarf's thick beard, and a huge one-eye.

I don't know how he got this bloodline...

The old blacksmith is in charge of the cold weapon trading market of the Qixing City Brave Guild. In theory, all heroes can drill holes here.

But his drilling ability actually exists in the form of challenge tasks.

Every once in a while, the old blacksmith will take the initiative to publish several time-limited drilling tasks and set up several exclusive challenge portals.

These tasks are basically to retrieve a certain item. Multiple challengers will appear in the same monster nest scene, and only the challenger who overcomes all difficulties and successfully retrieves the things the old blacksmith needs can get the permission to punch a hole in one piece of equipment.

And this punching permission is also time-limited, and it will not be available after the expiration.

Challenges can be abandoned voluntarily, but once abandoned, they cannot be entered again, and other challenges will also be closed to them, highlighting that a choice should be made carefully.

Once someone succeeds in the challenge, the corresponding scene of the task will be completely closed, the task will disappear, and the person who successfully punched the hole will not be able to challenge again for a long time.

What Luke needs more urgently now is to open the hole of the super strong eagle magic bead.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to make a 4-hole equipment for the Rosetta Stone, but 4-hole equipment is really hard to make.

According to the drop rules of items with holes in Diablo 2, the 4-hole equipment that currently meets Luke’s equipment conditions is mostly concentrated on items such as axes, large sticks, and battle staffs, and armor that wants to have 4 holes will have to wait until it is above level 26.

But having said that, if you really want to get 4-hole equipment by shouting at corpses, the probability is very touching, and Luke can't expect it in a short time.

Drilling holes in Sigan's Guardian and installing the Rosetta Stone is an option.

But first of all, Luke doesn't think that Sigan's Guardian can be opened with 4 holes, and secondly, the base material of the Rune Word equipment must be white equipment.

As a green-equipped Sigan's Guardian, it cannot become a Rune Word even if it has holes.

The biggest reason that prompted Luke to drill holes in the Eagle's Orb was that he wanted to replace the S stick.

Not only replaced it, he also planned to convert the S stick into a digital card and give it directly to the Imp.

The Imp is obviously a spellcasting unit, and a spellcaster who has mastered the elements of ice and fire. It should be able to use a short stick and a staff.

It can't be like the strange mage mercenary in Kurast Harbor, using a sword and shield, right?

However, when Luke arrived at the blacksmith shop, he was surprised to find that the actual situation was completely different from what he had imagined, or the overly realistic situation made him feel like he had returned to Earth.

He could even meet scalpers who were doing drilling tasks here!

If the inlayable gemstones like the Rosetta Stone were rare and precious, then drilling holes was a public resource that could be tried.

Just as Luke was about to take the task from the old blacksmith who was hammering away, the scalpers who were almost stationed in the blacksmith shop came up.

"Handsome, do you want to drill holes in your equipment?"

"What?"

"As long as you deposit the equipment you want to drill holes in our hands first, and then pay a fee, our professionals can help you complete the drilling task. Handsome, you can avoid danger and save time, and we can also make a small profit.

Or if you just want to buy equipment with holes, you can also find us. We have a full range of equipment and fair prices. You can choose whatever you want.

If you have any inlaid items you don't want, you can sell them to us. The recycling price will satisfy you."

The scalper business spoke very skillfully at high speed, and Luke's eyes widened after hearing it. It took a long time for him to react.

The scope of your scalper's business... is it not a scalper anymore?

You collect equipment and do leveling for others. Are you trying to steal the guild's business?

The scalper's business introduction gave Luke a big reminder, that is, in addition to doing the task yourself, giving things to others to help drill holes is also a way.

Of course, Luke would not consider asking the scalper to do it for him. He did not believe it, but they actually had the business of selling finished equipment with holes.

Maybe he would really patronize this.

"Give me a business card and a quote for equipment with holes. The boss may have a demand, but I must take this task. The boss has appointed me to do it. If he finds out that I have someone else do it for me, it will be a big trouble."

Luke began to talk nonsense seriously.

"Is that so... Brother, who is your boss?"

The scalper asked with some doubts while touching the business card and the quotation.

"Three-eyed boss."

Luke, who took the business card and the quotation, once again used the useful three-eyed bald head as a shield.

After hearing Luke's shield, the scalper's eyes widened significantly, and then swallowed the words that he had originally prepared, such as "If you don't buy our service, be careful when doing the task."

He didn't think Luke was just talking nonsense, because this kind of thing is easy to confirm. It is easy to get into trouble if you use the name of a stranger's high-level hero as a token, not to mention that it is Sanmu who has a special status in the Qixing City Hero Guild.

"Okay, then I won't bother you for now. If you have any needs, just contact us directly in the above way."

The scalper decisively chose to disperse, but before leaving, he didn't forget to take another look at the little demon beast on Luke's neck that was grinning at him.

"Well, goodbye."

Luke didn't stop him and watched him leave.

Luke didn't like the existence of scalpers, and it was not difficult to guess their general policy from the business introduction of the scalper just now.

By piling up people to monopolize the drilling task, they will make a fortune if there are people who need to drill holes urgently, and if no one buys the service, they will use their own authority and then accumulate equipment with holes for sale.

It is estimated that the acquisition of inlays is also a business derived from the increase in equipment with holes.

According to the way of thinking that everything should be done in the fastest way, this group of people may, no, should definitely stop people who do the drilling task by themselves in the challenge scene.

In addition, he can stay here openly to intercept, which may mean that the people behind him are actually insiders of the guild.

Of course, they must also be looking at people to play tricks, and using the name of the three eyes may make them a little afraid, but Luke himself can't predict what will actually happen.

Taking additional unknown risks for a drilling task is indeed a difficult situation for Luke, who is a stability maintenance worker, to accept, but when he saw a certain requirement in the old blacksmith's drilling task, his eyes froze.
