Zhan Long (Ep-101 and many more)

Chapter 242 - Not Even an Inch

"Incomplete item....this is an incomplete item..." I held the sword as I looked into the sky, "What use is there for this incomplete sword? I cannot even equip it, what...what can I do with it?"

Li Leng gave a faint laugh, "Child, the spirit in the sword has already awakened. This sword has magical abilities and as long as you can find enough proficient blacksmiths to cast metals for you, then you'll have for yourself a weapon fit for a god!"

By my side, Wan Er laughed as well, "That's right, it's still an incomplete sword but has stats like this. What would the completed item look like then?"

"Only, what are the requirements to cast metals for the sword?"

The elder Li Leng gently stroked his beard, "It's quite simple, all you need to do is to find a blacksmith capable of fixing these kinds of items. However, because of the war that took place 100 years ago, most of the blacksmiths were transferred to the border of Ba Huang City's lands. In a great disaster, many of the blacksmiths were wiped out. So as far as I know, no blacksmith in Ba Huang City is capable of fixing something on this level. So, this task you have set out for you is a long yet hard one..."

I was heartbroken, "What does a blacksmith need in order to have the power to do this?"

Li Leng stared at me, "You'd need a 10th ranked blacksmith with level 10 mining. You'd also need 100 Level 10 Qilin Iron Ore in order to have the metal to fix the sword. Any other type of metal would be unable to contain the power of the spirit within the sword!"

"Ah..."

I took two steps back with a cold and heavy heart. Where would I find a player with level 10 blacksmithing and mining?

Wan Er looked at my crestfallen face and laughed, walking up to pat my shoulder. She said, "Don't worry, the current players are leveling up their production professions at a rapid pace. There are many people with the blacksmith profession; Fan Shu City has a 9th ranked alchemist for example. Blacksmithing has more people attracted to it than alchemy. Perhaps there's someone with it already, we can always look slowly in the future..."

I nodded and gave Wan Er a bright smile, "Ah, that's right. I'll just set aside this sword for later, it's not like it'll run away from me..."

"That's right, there's no need to rush at all."

"Hey Wan Er, are you going to get off?" I looked at the time, it was already 7 at night.

"Dong Cheng is still doing an S rank mission but she'll be done soon. Shall we wait for her?"

"Alright..."

......

"Oh right..."

Right as Wan Er turned away to walk, she turned back towards me. As she approached, she smiled, "Have you checked your ranking on the CBN Battle network site yet? The rankings were updated an hour ago, and your new ranking is up..."

"Eh? Whats my ranking?"

"Take a look yourself..."

Wan Er waved her hand and immediately a light blue ranking list appeared in front of my eyes. Between the 31-35 ranking spots said–

31. Yue Qing Qian Lv 64 Class: Assassin
32. Immortality Codex Lv 63 Class: Healer
33. Simple Lv 64 Class: Mage
34. Xiao Yao Zi Zai Lv 64 Class: Night Watch of Dragon City
35. Death's Contract Lv 63 Class: Knight

......

"Damn..." I was stupefied, it was definitely hard to believe the sight, "I've already entered the top 100? What a fast development, isn't it true that...to enter CBN's top 100 grandmasters one had to be an expert player?"
