Chapter 658

Exiting a weapon’s shop, Wu Yan sighed while rubbing his temples .

This is the nth armory that failed to live up to Wu Yan’s standards .

SAO is now entering the later stages of the game . The smithing industry is already in a developed state .

Some blacksmiths are already making weapons that are better than the loot dropped from monsters . Players can also ask blacksmiths to enhance their weapons for them, increasing the potency of the weapon . Rather than grinding and praying that a monster drops the weapon they want, it would be easier to buy weapons from a blacksmith .

Wu Yan didn’t want drops from monster, he wants equipment from blacksmiths .

He’s not planning on changing his equipment for now . His equipment is optimized by him and he is wearing equipment with god-like stats, including the Heaven Gazer . After grinding and leveling, he grew into his equipment set, the average level of his equipment are also leagues away from the closest frontliners .

So long as Wu Yan is willing to continue investing in his current equipment set, he can keep his equipment until the end of SAO . In other words, Wu Yan doesn’t need to change his equipment .

At least, that’s what he thought .

In reality, he’s not worried about his armor that can keep up with his growth . He’s more annoyed about his weapon .

No, not the Heaven Gazer he busted his back upgrading and grinding for . With Dual Blades, he needed another sword .

He learned his lesson from the duel with Heathcliff . He used shabby equipment and that sword broke halfway through the duel . If Wu Yan had another sword on par with the Heaven Gazer, he could have exhibited more power than when he was using that “crappy sword” .

He never had to use Dual Blades before, none was worthy enough . That’s why Wu Yan didn’t bother to solve that problem at first . It wouldn’t be funny if, in a dire situation, his sword fell off from its hilt at the most crucial juncture .

Wu Yan’s been around the world and back looking for a weapon good enough to make his off-hand weapon . From known artists to lesser-known blacksmiths, he visited them all .

It’s always either the material or the crafter’s problem . He just couldn’t find someone good enough to make an excellent sword for him . It looks like Dual Blades will have to gather dust inside his skill tree . For now, he’s praying he won’t have to use Dual Blades on enemies . Otherwise, other players might call him a wasteful rich player who wrecked blades after blades just because he can .

Wu Yan is at the end of his wits, he is even considering grinding until another rare sword appears . The next problem, when will he actually get his hands on another weapon? Wu Yan reckons he wouldn’t be able to grind and wait for the next weapon to appear .

Rubbing the Heaven Gazer behind him, he pursed his lips as he opened his friend list to locate Asuna’s name .

Wu Yan knows about Asuna’s friend who had strong smithing abilities . In the original work, she was the one who crafted a formidable sword for Kirito . Before meeting her, Kirito wandered around looking for an offhand weapon just like him .

Wu Yan felt awkward when it came time to click on the send message button . He wanted to know where he can find Lisbeth .

He’s not worried about Cors . He’s hesitating because the two of them never talked after adding each other as friends . He’s kinda nervous when he thought about hearing Asuna’s voice .

Wu Yan didn’t know his current situation is similar to when a girl or boy is about to call their crush . They wanted to call their crush but they wavered when they wanted to dial the number in .

He scratched his cheek and his fingers stayed in the air without moving, Sighing, he closed the interface .

“Let’s continue searching, I sunk this much time, what’s a little more time then?”

He gave himself an excuse and he continued walking towards the next location .

There are teleportation gates in towns . With them, players can save precious teleport crystals when traveling between floors . Wu Yan is loaded with cash but he isn’t a big enough spendthrift to waste Cors when there’s free stuff nearby . Players using teleport crystals also materialized there so it’s convenient for him in a lot of ways .

He arrived at the teleport gate near the plaza . The familiar noise of a disturbance entered Wu Yan’s ears . He frowned and he looked at the source of this noise .

Finally, a player around the age of 20-30 stood there as he implored the players nearby to do something for him . Most of the players flat-out ignored him . Some even cursed the man while the rest looked troubled .

Wu Yan rubbed his head in confusion when he saw a familiar figure .

Wu Yan approached the familiar person from the back and he asked him .

“What are you doing here? Kirito…”

Kirito was taken aback, he was watching the player with a scrutinizing look, he didn’t notice Wu Yan who crept up on him .

“It’s you!”

“Don’t act like you just saw a ghost!”

Wu Yan’s lip twitched .

“Is it that shocking to find me here?”

Kirito finally regained his composure and he rubbed his head with a slightly embarrassed look .

“Well, a little, yeah…”

They only met on a few occasions . The first time they saw each other was on the first floor . Then, they also met during the Christmas event in the Forest of Wanderings .

Kirito is surprised because the player who just greeted him is a living legend inside this game .

“Right…”

Wu Yan pointed his lips towards the player who is asking for help .

“What’s going on with that guy?”

Kirito’s expression sank and he bitterly laughed .

“That is the guild master of a small guild called the Silver Flag . His guild members got killed during an untimely encounter with the orange guild known as Titan’s Hand . ”

“An orange guild…”

Wu Yan rubbed his chin .

“The kind of guild that robs players, sometimes even killing players just because they couldn’t pay up?”

“Yes…”

Kirito nodded .

“He wants someone to avenge his guild members . He just wants the evil-doers to be jailed . ”

“Oh? He’s a kind person…’

Wu Yan sighed .

“Well, you going?”

Kirito chuckled .

“Don’t tell me you’re interested?”

Wu Yan had an idea and he gave Kirito a sneaky grin .

“Hey, Kirito…”

Wu Yan turned towards Kirito .

“How do you feel about making bets?”

“Bet?”

“Let’s bet on who is the first person who can jail the most Titan Hand members!”

Wu Yan had a very mysterious smile on his face .

“Whoever wins get to ask the loser to do a favor for him, how does that sound to you?”

Kirito stopped for a moment but he followed up with a wide beam .

“Sounds interesting…”

“Oh? Then…”

“Fine! I will take you up on that challenge!”
