Join the ServerToo bizarre.
If I couldn’t find high-quality equipment, that would be one thing. But no matter how I tried, not even a single piece of useful high-attribute gear appeared.
Blue, blue, blue, blue—this was far too stable…
Before I knew it, my forging skill points were nearly depleted! Yet, bizarrely, I had gained nothing!
My skill level might not be the highest in the entire server, but with my skills and massive funding, I should at least be in the top five, right? Skill level affects the probability of producing high-grade attributes, so I should be reaping greater rewards than before. Why did it feel like the Goddess of Misfortune had locked onto me?
Could that ‘Breath of the Earth’ mentioned in the system notification actually be a debuff?
Enough. Last try. Then I’m changing spots!
Forged iron, refined steel.
Poured into the mold, cooled.
Hammered, magic crystal added.
The special materials I bought were also hammered in.
Quenched in cold water.
Out of the forge!
[System Notification: After 99 consecutive failures, you have finally comprehended a sliver of the Earth’s profound power! Congratulations on entering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, which grandmasters dream of!]
Before I could even retrieve the dagger from the cold water, it floated up on its own! It drifted toward the bottomless hole my daughter had blasted open!
“Hey, hey, don’t go! If you fly into the Earth’s core, how will I find you?”
[System Notification: Due to Unity of Heaven and Man, you have resonated with the power of the Earth!]
As it turned out, my worry was unnecessary.
The ground shook and mountains quaked.
I quickly hugged my eggs tightly to keep them from falling. Even though I knew they wouldn’t break, I wasn’t taking any chances.
From the narrow egg pit, a condensed, tangible, earth-yellow light burst forth! The dagger bathed in the light, greedily absorbing the heavy Earth power into its blade!
This special effect lasted a full ten minutes!
Ten minutes later, the light dimmed and vanished, and the dagger slowly descended back into my hand.
My first thought—it was incredibly light!
I had imagined that something imbued with Earth power would be heavy… but in reality, I could barely feel its existence! It was as light as a feather!
[Earth’s Lament — Dagger]
[Quality: Earth-yellow, Special Equipment.]
The blade, which should have been shiny, took on an unadorned earth-yellow hue—a deep, thick yellow that seemed to absorb the surrounding light.
[Attack Power: 450]
Such high attack!
[Strength: 45]
[Agility: 45]
The added attributes were perfect too!
[Additional Effect 1: Anti-Gravity — Makes the weapon weightless.]
Weightless? That means…
I released my grip, and sure enough, the dagger defied physics, floating in midair without falling.
[Additional Effect 2: Earth Power Enhancement — Attacks made with this dagger cannot be blocked.]
So strong… really strong… This item would easily be worth over 500,000 on the market!
Weightlessness made it faster and more unpredictable to wield, while the unblockable property increased its assassination success rate and burst damage.
I hope he suffers less pain when cutting off his source of sin.
My forging points were exhausted, so I couldn’t continue making weapons. I could only move on to armor and accessories. I sat back down by the egg pit and started crafting.
Before I knew it, darkness fell.
Night in Pursuit II doesn’t occur at fixed intervals—it’s not a daily cycle of day and night. Night appears only once every fifteen real-world days, and sometimes it’s delayed, dragging on for months before arriving.
Even when it does come, it’s brief, lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few days, usually no more than three.
That’s why life on the Adell Continent cherishes the night. Night is rare, and rarity means preciousness.
Children love to run under the moonlight, beasts love to groom their fur in its glow, and mages and alchemists rush to move certain magical materials out to bask in the moonlight.
In short, as long as you’re bathed in moonlight, you feel happy.
Provided there’s a moon.
This was the most awkward night the Adell Continent had seen in hundreds of millions of years.
Although moons in the sky had expiration dates, and every Moon Goddess had to replace the old with a new one to avoid such embarrassment, the continent’s night ultimately couldn’t escape this calamity…
The moon in Pursuit II is self-luminous, not reflecting sunlight like in physics textbooks. Its purpose is to illuminate the night and channel energy to the Moon Goddess’s followers on the ground.
[Nine Hua Alliance Warm Reminder: It’s dark. Please pay attention to your safety, citizens of the Alliance.]
[Nine Hua Alliance Special Reminder: There is no moon tonight. Please bring your own lighting tools when going out. The backup moon has begun tense launch preparations. As soon as Her Majesty the Moon Goddess is ready, coordinates can be provided for formal launch… beep… beep… beep… beep… beep… beep…]
What’s going on? Did they hang up mid-sentence?
[Nine Hua Alliance Special Reminder: The Moon Goddess is not crying! She’s so tough, so strong… sob sob… beep—beep—beep—beep—…]
…Is Her Majesty the Moon Goddess being tsundere on the air?
…Blowing up the moon really wasn’t my fault! I didn’t mean to!
Anyway, I felt no guilt as I continued crafting. Even though a moonless night was dark and annoying, I had a lamp! Who needs a moon?
But after a little while, I gave up.
Even with a lamp, the light was dim. And tailoring and jewelry-making are intricate, energy-draining processes that demand precision. Continuing would be too inefficient.
Indeed, forging iron is a girl’s true romance!
With no way to proceed, I had no choice but to hug my eggs and prepare to climb out of the huge meteorite crater—a tough and long journey.
Just the cross-section of this crater was the size of a small city… I don’t admire anyone but my daughter!
Finally, breathing heavily, I crawled back to the surface.
I walked far into the distance until I found ground covered with greenery, along with a soft sandy beach.
“This is a forest,” I said, holding up the eggs to show them. “The forest has trees, flowers, and barbecue.”
Then I continued to the coast.
“This is the sea,” I said, lifting the eggs. “The sea has water, grilled fish, grilled crab, grilled conch, steamed abalone, stir-fried ginseng, cumin seaweed, garlic scallops, shark sashimi, sauce-braised blue whale, char siu seal, diamond penguin.”
“This is the sky,” I said, holding up the eggs. “There are clouds, stars, and the sun.”
There, prenatal education done. I’m such a great mother!
