Chapter 233 The Matter of Human Relationships
Saros's fanatical face froze.
Auro's confident smile froze on his lips.
A hint of confusion appeared in Moon Arrow's clear eyes.
[Blueprint: Fortune and Prosperity, Opening Heaven, Hand of the Heavenly Heron].
The name has a lot of prefixes, which is a bit odd, but that's not the point.
The key point is that this equipment is not for warriors, nor for mages or archers.
Chen You's heart skipped a beat.
Was it that sudden?
He truly hadn't expected to drop the blueprint for his own class's equipment.
This is very embarrassing.
He had just lied to Moon Arrow and the others, saying he was some kind of dual-wielding archmage, and now he's pulled out a blueprint for a cultivator's gauntlet with such a pure style.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen You's mind, but his face remained calm and composed.
He didn't even blink, as if this mythical blueprint was nothing more than an ordinary object in his eyes.
However, the reaction of the three of them, Salos, was completely beyond his expectations.
They didn't care about Chen You's profession at all!
"My ritual... went wrong?" Thalos looked down at his fist, sinking into deep self-doubt.
"Could it be that our Titan race's 'unboxing and blessing' system hasn't been updated in too long and is no longer keeping up with the times?"
"No," Oro shook his head, looking solemnly at the tortoise shell in his hand.
"My divination shows a favorable outcome for gold, that's correct. But 'Hand of the Heron'... in Romance mythology, 'hand' symbolizes 'control'..."
Moon Arrow didn't speak, but silently turned his back.
"Could it be because my prayers weren't sincere enough? Did the moon goddess think I was greedy, wanting two bows, and therefore refuse to give me either?"
The three beings at the pinnacle of the Origin Realm pyramid didn't even glance at him or pay attention to the equipment blueprint.
On their faces, there was no doubt, no questioning, only a deep sense of self-reflection.
Chen You: "..."
Well, I guess I was overthinking it.
These people have been completely brainwashed by metaphysics.
Their thought process has shifted from "why did this equipment appear?" to "what went wrong with my ritual that prevented my equipment from appearing?"
As for Chen You's profession?
Which professions have more important mythical sets than theirs?
That being the case...
Chen You coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
He didn't look at the light, but instead looked at the three of them, his tone calm with just the right amount of apology: "It seems our luck hasn't been so good this time."
He paused, as if making a decision, and then slowly spoke.
"You don't need these blueprints. How about this, I'll buy them for you as a reward for your hard work."
"We can't let you fight for nothing... come all this way for nothing."
The tone and expression were as if he were dealing with a piece of trash that was completely useless.
It's as if it's saying: This thing is useless to me, but in order not to let your hard work go to waste, I'll reluctantly spend the money to buy it.
Upon hearing this, the three of them, including Salos, were shocked!
Salos reacted the fastest. His rugged face was instantly filled with emotion and shame. He strode forward, grabbed Chen You's shoulder, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Brother Chen! You're slapping me in the face!"
"Your chance to witness the arrival of a myth depends entirely on you expending your own fortune to trigger the mysteries of heaven and earth!"
"We only did a little work, how could we possibly take your money back!"
He said with a serious expression, "You've already given so much! We should be the ones making it up to you!"
"That's right." Oro also walked over and bowed slightly to Chen You.
"It's an honor for us to be standing here. To talk about money would be an insult to this opportunity."
Moon Arrow nodded slightly, "We really don't need it."
The three of them had a very simple idea.
Who is responsible for the ability to obtain mythic equipment?
It's Chen You!
It was Chen You's unpredictable "metaphysical ritual"!
To help them obtain the equipment, they were willing to sacrifice their own luck, which is more precious than life itself. What a profound sentiment this is!
What a magnanimous spirit!
The equipment may not be suitable, but that's my problem, not Brother Chen's!
How can you ask for more money?
Wouldn't that make me an ungrateful wretch?
How can I expect others to carry me through Mythic difficulty in the future?
Seeing the sincere and earnest looks in the eyes of the three people, Chen You also brought his acting skills to the extreme.
A look of surprise flashed across his face, as if he hadn't expected them to refuse.
Then, he frowned slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment, as if to say, "How could I possibly accept this?"
"I appreciate your kindness, but rules are rules..." he said, feigning reluctance.
"No rules!" Saros waved his hand dismissively, "Here, you are the rule!"
Chen You's gaze swept across the three faces, and finally, as if he was completely moved by their sincerity, he sighed helplessly.
With a "since you've all said that" expression on his face, he nodded happily.
"In that case, I shall accept your offer."
A set of micro-expression management techniques, from feigning refusal to being unable to refuse the warm invitation, and finally to reluctantly accepting, flowed smoothly and flawlessly.
Seeing this, the three of them, including Saros, all showed relieved smiles, as if they had accomplished some incredible mission.
Without hesitation, they all clicked "Give Up" on the system allocation interface.
As the light dissipated, an ancient-looking blueprint, shimmering with iridescent colors, flew automatically into Chen You's backpack.
[System Notification: You have obtained the blueprint: Fortune and Prosperity - Heaven's Opening - Heavenly Heron's Hand].
"Alright," Chen You put away the blueprints, a hint of fatigue appearing on his face.
"Using secret techniques continuously has taken a toll on me. I need to rest here for a bit and recover."
Moon Arrow immediately understood, and she nodded understandingly.
"Then you should get some rest, we won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, she flashed and turned into a white light, exiting the instance first.
Oro nodded slightly to Chen You and followed suit.
Saros still looked somewhat unwilling. He rubbed his hands together and leaned closer to ask in a low voice, "Brother Chen, when... when is the next raid?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Chen You replied cryptically.
"Okay! Okay! I understand! We'll wait for your news!"
Thalos nodded heavily and exited the instance.
In the instance, Chen You was suddenly the only one left.
……
Location of the event NPC in Thousand Light City.
With a flash of light, the figures of Moon Arrow, Ouro, and Saros appeared one after another.
The players who had been discussing the scene of the top teams gathering just now instantly fell silent.
All eyes were on these three bigwigs.
However, what they saw were three faces that looked as if they had lost their parents.
Saros hung his head in dejection, the giant axe he wielded almost dragging on the ground.
Oro frowned, looking like he was questioning the meaning of life.
Moon Arrow stood with his back to everyone, radiating a chilling aura that said, "Don't mess with me."
"Hiss... What's going on? Did it crash?"
"Impossible, right? With these three together, is there any dungeon in the Origin Realm they can't clear?"
"Why do they look like that? Like their fathers have died."
"I know! It must be because they fought over the spoils!"
"That makes sense! It must be that Chen You guy, who took advantage of his money to steal their equipment!"
"Pah! Master Chen You is a paragon of loyalty and righteousness, don't talk nonsense!"
Players' speculations grew louder, and all sorts of outrageous scenarios were concocted.
The three members of Salos, who were at the center of the controversy, had no interest in paying attention to any of this.
They returned directly to the guild territory to continue reflecting on their ritual.
Chen You, inside the instance, breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that they had all left.
The weariness and profundity on his face vanished, replaced by an irrepressible excitement.
He quickly opened his backpack to check the properties of the mythological blueprint, humming a little tune as he did so.
"Hmm, a five-piece set, so we're still missing four pieces..."
He admired it for a while with satisfaction, then turned off the panel.
Rest? Restore your vitality?
Are you kidding me!
I've already gotten this far.
As long as I don't go out, no one will know that I'm soloing.
Let's set a small goal: today, let's farm all the blueprints for this set!
