Superpower Mechanic: I Have Unlimited Ammo!-Chapter 4: Harvest! Break the Record!
Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Harvest! Break the Record!
Seeing the continuous instance prompts flashing before his eyes, Li Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Whoa?
The rewards for breaking the completion time record are so generous?
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching Level 11!]
Oh my gosh! I leveled up just like that!
As expected, soloing instances for exclusive experience is way faster!
It's much quicker than a bunch of people crowding outside the city to fight over monsters!
Li Haotian quickly opened his professional panel and saw that the Spiritual Power Value in the attribute field had been fully restored due to leveling up.
Not only that, but there were also 5 points of Free Potential added at the top of the panel, which could be allocated freely.
Without hesitation, Li Haotian allocated all of them to Spiritual Power.
With the 5 points of Basic Attributes granted from leveling up, Li Haotian's Spiritual Power Value now reached 210 points, allowing him to summon a Gloot Pistol for ten minutes.
Just then, Li Haotian suddenly noticed a flash of purple light before him, and an armor-like item fell next to the Minotaur King's body.
Li Haotian was slightly taken aback, then immediately reacted, showing a look of surprise and joy on his face.
No way!
A regular instance, and it dropped a piece of Purple Equipment?
Li Haotian quickly walked over and picked up the equipment.
[Name: Minotaur King's Bright Silver Breastplate (Unbound)]
[Type: Light Armor]
[Attributes: Strength increases by 14 points, Spiritual Power increases by 14 points]
Li Haotian looked slightly disappointed as he sighed while gazing at the equipment.
"Light armor... What a shame, it's not suitable for me."
In this world, equipment is divided into five types: Cloth Armor, Leather Armor, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, and Plate Armor.
Magic professions generally use Cloth Armor or Leather Armor, while those skilled in both magic and martial arts usually use Light Armor, and Physical Professions mostly use Heavy Armor and Plate Armor.
Li Haotian's Mechanic profession is actually a type of magic profession, so he can only use Leather Armor.
Of course, using other types of equipment isn't entirely impossible.
But if it doesn't suit your profession, not only will the attributes be incorrectly allocated, but you'll also lose the defensive power bonus from armor mastery.
Forcing yourself to use it is not worth the loss, so few professionals would do that.
Accessory-type equipment, however, is universal for all professions, as long as the attributes fit.
Equipment levels range from the lowest to highest: worthless White Equipment, common Green Equipment, fine Blue Equipment, Rare Level Purple Equipment, Divine Artifact Level Pink Equipment, Legendary Orange Equipment, and the golden Epic Equipment.
White Equipment is found everywhere and can be bought for just a few silver coins.
Common Green Equipment has a high chance of dropping from both small monsters in the wild and regular monsters within instances and can be sold at an auction for at least one Gold Coin.
At the Blue Equipment level, only Elite Monsters drop them, with instance bosses guaranteed to drop them, instantly making their auction price rise to tens of Gold Coins.
As for Rare Level Purple Equipment, only bosses can drop them, and even then, the chance is low, just a 10% drop rate.
If you want to buy a piece of Purple Equipment from the auction house, it'll cost at least a few hundred Gold Coins. Ordinary professionals have to save for a long time to get one, which is why it's called Rare Level!
Although Li Haotian can't use this Purple Equipment, he can sell it at the auction house!
This item alone means a few hundred Gold Coins in earnings!
As for Divine Artifact Level Pink Equipment, although all instance bosses and Elite Monsters might drop them, the chance is just too low.
With a 1% drop rate, only those extraordinarily lucky could obtain it.
But if one really drops, you'd hit it big as it's worth at least a few thousand Gold Coins.
If you're fortunate enough to encounter a Divine Artifact with superb attributes, that would be a priceless treasure!
Besides this armor, the Minotaur King, as the boss, also dropped a piece of Blue Equipment, the Minotaur King's Leather Belt.
Just right, Li Haotian could use this, so he decisively equipped it, increasing his Spiritual Power by 11 points.
Now, all the monsters in the Dark Forest were cleared by Li Haotian.
Earlier, he was busy farming monsters and didn't pick up anything. Now excitedly storing the Purple Equipment, Li Haotian began heading back, sweeping up other loot along the way.
The two Elite Minotaurs contributed two pieces of Blue Equipment to Li Haotian, while the other regular Minotaurs dropped around twenty pieces of Green Equipment.
Aside from that, there were Minotaur teeth, leather, as well as Refined Iron Fragments and all sorts of miscellaneous instance materials.
These materials might be of some use to ordinary Mechanics, as they provide plans and Superpower Weapons require self-gathered materials to craft.
But they were useless to Li Haotian, so he could sell them all for Gold Coins.
Li Haotian estimated that, even excluding that piece of Purple Equipment, simply selling these items at an auction house could net him about 200 Gold Coins!
And the entrance ticket to the Dark Forest costs only 100 Gold Coins.
In other words, someone like Li Haotian, soloing, not only can he crazily farm experience, he can also make a hefty profit!
Thinking of this, Li Haotian couldn't bear to waste any time, and immediately activated the Teleportation Crystal.
Three seconds later, his figure reappeared in the instance hall.
Then, Li Haotian walked outside with an excited expression.
Target, Auction House!
The staff, seeing Li Haotian's expression, was stunned at first, then instinctively glanced at the clock beside him.
"How did this guy get out so fast? Judging from his look, could he have made some gains?"

"Did he get a Blue Equipment or something?"
"No, that's impossible. Summoning the first Elite Minotaur in the Dark Forest requires killing more than ten regular Minotaurs. How could he, a newly turned Mechanic, kill more than ten Minotaurs in ten minutes?"
The staff member shook their head amusingly.
But at that moment, a new message suddenly appeared on the display panel above the Dark Forest teleportation entrance.
"Dark Forest Fastest Completion Record: 25 minutes 12 seconds!"
"Completer: Li Haotian."
The staff member was suddenly stunned, standing up instantly.
There was a clatter as the chair behind him fell to the ground.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again in disbelief.
"Whoa!" he exclaimed in shock.
Bear in mind, the previous fastest completion record was an hour, and that was with four people teaming up!
Li Haotian was alone, and he's a newly turned Mechanic, how did he complete it in less than half an hour!
Could all the Minotaurs in the instance collectively have sacrificed themselves!
The staff member quickly shook his head and pushed aside such a ridiculous idea.
Those Minotaurs might be reckless, but they're not brain-dead, why would they all sacrifice themselves...
What the staff member didn't know was that it actually took Li Haotian just ten minutes to clear this instance, and as for the remaining time, it was all spent collecting materials on his way back.
There was no choice, after all, one person collecting materials is indeed a bit inefficient.
"Could it be... that kid discovered some bug-exploiting technique?"
The staff member was completely baffled. He couldn't understand how a newly turned Mechanic managed to solo the Dark Forest!
