Technoblade Never Dies: A New Adventure

Chapter 24 - Diamond Dignity

After what felt like a long time, Technoblade finally had a full set of diamond armour. The crafting workshop took so long to craft his chest plate and boots, stalling Technoblade with his other building processes. Hence, after getting his boots, the tactician learned from his mistake and only crafted one piece of diamond armour at a time. That way, he could still craft the essentials like books and a fishing rod whenever he wanted.

That's right, a fishing rod. No, he wasn't out to fish mobs to him or off a cliff, although that would be very handy. If anything, Technoblade went night hunting to get his string. It was still an incredibly rare item, even with his new unique skill. However, if he added a looting enchantment, he could increase the mob drop rate to 100%.

Unfortunately, that would require too many levels. Even if Technoblade diligently fed his sheep and chickens, it only gave him thirty-right levels in two days of his preparation. The fishing activity contributed to five of those levels, but it was nowhere near enough.

He still wanted that fully enchanted diamond armour before exploring the nether again. Blazes would be a real pain to deal with in that hellish fortress.

Thankfully, crafting a full set of diamond armour gave Technoblade a reward he immediately put to practical use.

"Five skill points and so many skills," he mused.

A regular person might split those skill points up and enjoy the advantages of becoming slightly superior in various areas but master of none. Technobalde wasn't going to do that. It was foolish to think one could be good at everything, even in games.

"Full speed ahead!" he declared and dumped those five precious skill points into his [Speed] ability.

There was a reason why Technobalde was known as the fastest man on Skyblock. He trained hard and mastered the secret arts so that nobody else could possibly catch up to him. The only thing that could take him down was the internet connection, and even that did not hinder his super speed for long.

Even with the boost of five skill points, Technoblade sighed in disappointment at the lack of difference between his [Speed] and [Farming] skills. He farmed so much that his farming skills were still superior to his agility, even after the boost. No wonder he earned that Potato Crown. It wasn't a coincidence. Could farming become an addiction?

Although he had a spanking new sparkly set of diamond armour, Technoblade still refused to wear them. Instead, he put on his enchanted set of mediocre steel armour. There was still something left to do before he visited the nether.

With his new diamond tools, Technoblade needed to get them enchanted with Mending. The [Unbreakable] enchantment was special and only applied to his unique pickaxe. All other tools and armour pieces did not have that. Technoblade did not have enough levels to afford eight mending enchantments either, so while he fed chickens and sheep for levels while hunting the occasional stray monsters, he fished.

There were two reasons for fishing. The first was to get some bonus experience for his levels, while the second was to try his luck getting various enchantment books. It was rare, but Technoblade knew it was possible. He fished up a book with Smite, and while it wasn't very useful, Technoblade knew that he could fish up other books if he indulged in his new activity for long enough.

Casually, Technoblade caught all the fish he needed to complete his fishing side quest and obtained yet another useful skill.

"Say goodbye to Underwater Breathing Potions," he laughed and claimed the new skill.

The system admin must have run out of creativity as the new skill was simply titled "Underwater Breathing". Unlike the potion that lasted eight minutes in Minecraft, Technoblade's new skill allowed him to grow something akin to gills. It meant that if he wished to, he could build a house under the sea and live there like a mermaid forever.
