BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156 New Equipment
Tyler made a mistake.
He harbored preconceived judgments about "the real Emilia."
The reason for Tyler\'s astonishment at Emilia\'s display was that the Emilia he originally knew was not the real Emilia.
The Emilia of that time was in a pseudo-autistic state following the loss of her parents.
With the exception of slightly opening her heart to Oleg, she was almost emotionless towards others.
However, in recent days, Tyler has, unnoticed, healed Emilia\'s emotional wounds.
Previously, Emilia closed herself off to avoid further harm due to the loss of her parents, her mental support.
Now, with Banning as her new mental support, the real Emilia from the past has returned. She is a brave foxkin girl who dares to love and hate.
The current issue is that Emilia\'s true appearance is, surprisingly, unfamiliar to Tyler, hence his astonishment.
(Silly Nissen: Huhuhu... Who would have thought, Tyler, that when a girl takes the initiative, you would be so timid! Hahaha!)
The silly loli laughed heartily in Tyler\'s head.
Tyler ignored her, not because he was timid, but because he was worried that if Emilia was too proactive, it would be even tougher to part ways with her later.
Moreover, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. This is also a latent "danger."
Until leaving Sunny Town, Tyler must control the "distance" between himself and Emilia.
.
In the following two days, apart from handing over the guild tasks, Tyler basically did not meet Emilia.
Due to the increasingly busy work at The Quest Guild, Emilia either couldn\'t find an opportunity to leave and meet with Banning at the inn.
Then, the date came to June 24th, the day Tyler and the craftsmen had agreed to collect the new equipment.
In the morning, as always, Tyler first honed his skill proficiency.
In these two days, he had developed the skill "Calculation Boost" from level 6 to level 9, accordingly increasing 30 points of intelligence attribute and 300 points of magic power.
As long as it\'s upgraded by one more level, "Calculation Boost" can unlock a new entry, which Tyler is eagerly looking forward to.
In addition to this, he also upgraded the Manufacturing Occupation "Alchemist" to level 2, increasing 1 point of intelligence attribute and 10 points of magic power.
Although the amount is small, every bit counts.
Tyler would not miss any opportunity that could make him stronger.

Soon after, Tyler arrived at the equipment shop.
Unexpectedly, there were several craftsmen waiting in the store to greet him.
"Here he comes, this handsome lad is Banning."
"Huh, it\'s this guy who made us work restlessly for two days. I must remember this face!"
"Hahaha, I haven\'t felt this excited in a long time!"
"I\'m excited, but I\'m too old for this, hahaha!"
"..."
All the craftsmen were hanging heavy dark circles under their eyes, and their exhaustion was evident. Even so, their spirits were high at the moment because their two days of work were about to be personally inspected by the customer!
For the craftsmen, nothing is more exhilarating than having their work appreciated by a customer!
"Thank you all so much!"
Seeing the craftsmen who had exerted all their effort in two days, Tyler was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.
And he was also very relieved that he had the ability to read minds. Without it, he wouldn\'t be able to find such trustworthy craftsmen in the strange world of the Prison Star.
"Hehe, don\'t rush to thank us, first take a look at the stuff!"
The craftsman confidently presented a green curved blade that was shorter than Tyler\'s forearm.
The blade was curved to retain the original shape of the "Poison Blade Rat King\'s Venomous Claw" to the greatest extent, brimming with deadly intent.
Looking at the fluorescent green on the blade, Tyler knew without the craftsman explaining that it was coated with deadly poison.
"This claw of the Poison Blade Rat King is extraordinarily hard, and it wore out several of our grinding wheels. Also, the claw naturally carries deadly poison, so you can use it as a poisoned blade without extracting it... Oh, for safety, we also made a sheath for you to use."
The craftsman\'s explanation indeed hit the nail on the head, but the information Tyler saw with his appraisal ability was more complete.
━━━━━━━━━━
Equipment Name: Venomous Blade - Poison Claw
Equipment Effects:
1 Equipment requirements: Strength 20, Dexterity 50;
2 If equipment user\'s attributes do not meet the requirements, it cannot be used;
[Note: Tyler\'s current attributes - Strength 30, Dexterity 115, Wisdom 230]
3 Poison resistance +5;
4 Whenever the "Venomous Claw" strikes a living target, there is a 30% chance of inflicting the target with a festering poison status, each layer of festering poison status inflicts 3 points of damage/second, and persists until the target\'s demise; the festering poison status can stack up to 5 layers.
━━━━━━━━━━
"A true masterpiece, indeed!"
Tyler was entirely pleased. He carefully gripped around the handle, lifting it for a close examination.
Upon actually holding it, Tyler discovered that although the "Venomous Claw" was not large in size, it was surprisingly weighty when picked up, no wonder it had a high strength requirement.
Under the light, the twisted blade twinkled with a cold glint, its sharpness intimidating, even more so than the willow-leaf dagger he had before.
What Tyler liked the most, however, was the inherent toxicity of the "Venomous Claw". Five layers would inflict 15 points of damage every second, and as long as it wasn\'t detoxified, it would persist until death.
15 points per second may not sound like much, but a full minute of poison results in 900 points.
One must know, Tyler\'s current health points were only 300.

Tyler couldn\'t stop praising the "Venomous Claw", the craftsman masters were all beaming with joy, but when it came time to present the next piece, their expressions weren\'t as cheerful.
"Well, Banning... a tier-3 magic core... we made a pair of boots according to your choice, but... but this core was really difficult to deal with, all I can say is, we did our best."
The craftsman master placed a pair of black boots on the table, and from his movements, it was clear that the boots were very lightweight, with defense certainly not to be relied upon.
Additionally, the design of the boots themselves was very simple, besides using silver rivets for reinforcement at necessary places, there were no other decorations.
For the craftsmen present, the fact that a precious tier-3 magic core ended up being used to create such a pair of ordinary boots was absolutely unacceptable.
But as the craftsman in charge had just said, they had done their best.
It wasn\'t that they didn\'t want to craft a pair of bulky, highly defensive boots, but that the magic core itself was resisting.
"Why do you all look so upset? I think these boots are great! They are beyond my expectations!"
To the craftsman masters\' surprise, Banning, who they thought would be complaining, actually started laughing happily.
The inscrutable young man held up the black boots as if he had found a treasure, even more delighted than when he saw the Venomous Blade!
