Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 2092 Explosive Start, I Want It All!

There aren't many pure newbies to Fantasy Westward Journey these days.

Basically, anyone who has been involved in Fantasy Westward Journey for a period of time, especially in crafting and appraisal, will be able to do so.

Then you'll know how deep the water is.

simply put.

When the base number is low, such as one or two items.

The probability of you getting a high-attribute, top-tier item is almost the same as winning the lottery.

To put it bluntly, this game relies heavily on quantity to achieve its success.

The more you refresh, the higher the probability of getting a top-tier item.

Conversely, unless you are the chosen one, it's best not to dream of a comeback.

It is precisely because I understand this mechanism in the game well.

Therefore, after weighing the options, more and more viewers in the live stream ultimately voted for option 1, which is the national standard.

Look at option 1, which will completely leave the other three options behind in a minute.

Fang Yun shrugged, not at all surprised.

"Alright, voting is over. Now it's time to witness a miracle!"

The evaluation, creation, and voting were all completed. Fang Yun didn't dawdle and cleared his throat before speaking.

While talking.

He then controlled the Invincible Square Inch and casually activated an appraisal talisman before heading straight to the rooftop.

"Huh? I thought Brother Cheng would go to Changshou for a medical appraisal..."

"Give me a break! You went to Changshou to have a broken level 10 sword appraised? You're just asking for trouble!"

"Quick, quick, I need to see the results!"

"Standardize international standards! Standardize international standards!"

"I still don't have a good feeling about it, after all, it's common knowledge that Brother Cheng is a toxic person..."

"Even if it's poisonous, it's still just a level 10 weapon, don't worry."

"It's starting! It's starting!..."

Looking at the invincible Fang Cun standing on the rooftop, ready to go.

The atmosphere in the live stream was completely hyped up, with everyone staring intently at the screen, and some even putting their hands together in prayer.

While everyone was chatting and joking around, waiting for the results to be announced...

Fang Yun casually tapped the appraisal talisman, then aimed it at the level 10 Iron Tooth Sword in his bag and tapped it—

"Congratulations! This item may become a unique equipment. Unique equipment can only be used by you. Do you want to have it appraised as unique equipment?"

"Hey, should I go?"

With a click of the mouse, a special window suddenly popped up on the screen.

Not to mention the audience, even Fang Yun himself was stunned for a moment.

He didn't use any cheats, so why did he immediately give out a special feature?

While he was still in a daze, the live stream chat instantly exploded—

"Holy crap... this works?!"

"It's over! It's all over! It's completely over!"

"I knew Cheng Ge was crazy! He released all level 10 weapons with exclusive features all at once. Who else can do that?"

"If a special standard is released, there's no way a national standard can be established. That would make everyone who voted for option 1 look like a fool!"

"This is outrageous! They shouldn't have let him do the authentication; they should have just randomly selected a viewer to do it."

"Forget it, there's definitely no chance this round. Let's see what happens in the next round..."

No one expected it to be a weapon, especially a level 10 beginner weapon.

As a result, Fang Yun was able to get a special item in one shot!

This made everyone exclaim that they had seen a ghost.

After the initial shock, everyone in the live stream immediately realized what was happening.

Now that this level 10 Iron Tooth Sword has been released as a special-purpose weapon, it means it is completely out of the question for the national standard.

While being a dedicated item doesn't necessarily mean high damage, even the worst dedicated item will definitely have higher stats than the standard item.

"This... is indeed a bit unexpected."

Seeing the screen full of sarcastic comments, Fang Yun couldn't help but click his tongue.

He's a very rule-abiding person. Since he said it would be completely random from the beginning, he couldn't possibly have done anything underhanded.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could have secretly used luck enhancement during the appraisal.

This can greatly influence the final attributes to a certain extent.

The problem is, he never intended to do this, but judging from the results, it really seems like he had cheated.

This is really a bit stressful.

But it's difficult as it is.

Now that the equipment has been identified, all he could say was, "According to the previous rules, getting a special item is mandatory, so... I'm sorry everyone."

While talking.

Amidst a screen full of pleading comments.

Without hesitation, he clicked "OK"—

"Identification successful!"

One mouse click.

A notification popped up on the screen indicating successful authentication.

The viewers in the live stream immediately deflated.

They were incredibly resentful; why was Fang Yun so rule-abiding?

Fang Yun, however, couldn't care less about that at the moment. After the successful identification notification popped up, he quickly moved his mouse and placed it directly on the screen—

Iron-Toothed Sword

A short sword made of iron with serrated edges.

[Equipment Requirements] Level 10

[Equipped Character] Xiaoyao Sheng, Swordsman

Level: 10, Element: Metal

Damage +47, Accuracy +48

Durability: 100

Exclusively for player 29882654

Crafted by: Feitian Yu'er

soon.

The full attributes of this level 10 special Iron Tooth Sword were displayed on the screen.

Although it was somewhat expected, the viewers in the live stream still couldn't hold back and flooded the chat with complaints.

"Goodness, the damage from the special item didn't even break 50. If the special item hadn't been released, this would definitely be a guaranteed standard damage!"

"This is infuriating! Absolutely infuriating! I refuse to accept this!"

"My five top-of-the-line iPhones, just like that, I missed out..."

"Get rid of it, Cheng-ge. This piece of junk makes the brothers' hearts uncomfortable."

"Keep going, keep going! I don't believe you can pull off a special move every time!"

"Upstairs, I advise you not to be so skeptical. Brother Cheng is a man of principle; he'll deal with anyone who dares to challenge him!"

The attributes of this special iron-toothed sword are practically maxed out.

Despite being a dedicated product, its damage is only 47, which is only slightly higher than the national standard.

And that's the most infuriating thing.

The damage from special items is not high.

If it weren't for the special version, this sword's damage would most likely not exceed 43!

Because of a special achievement, a large number of viewers in the live stream missed out on getting 5 top-of-the-line fruits.

Anyone in that situation would probably break down.

However, Fang Yun ignored the screen full of complaints and quickly had Pipi Shrimp put up another option pop-up.

"Hey, the second round is starting so soon?"

"Brother Cheng's pace is pretty fast."

"I just said, there's no need to be upset about temporary gains or losses. Brother Cheng's live streams are always generous and satisfying. As long as you stay here, you're bound to win at least once!"

"So what do you guys think about this?"

"Last time I chose 10-40, and then it crashed instantly. It's a bit tricky..."

"What's so troublesome about it? If you ask me, we should make him bleed a bit, then go straight for 130-160!"

"That's great! That's great! You're making things easy for the brothers, but you won't be having an easy time!"

"Aren't you guys overthinking this? Let's not even mention that Brother Cheng doesn't need the money for a set of 160 books and iron. Even if he did, he could have easily chosen the 130 or 140 sets, right?"

"...Fuck, so we can't even mess with him if we want to?"

"Don't try to mess with his mentality. It's fine if you just want to see him appraise some high-end equipment. I'd also like to see Brother Cheng play with some high-end weapons this round."

"How about 130-160? I'll shoot first!"

"I'm following!"

"+1!"

The viewers in the live stream were still feeling helpless about being dominated by the special equipment in the first round.

But Fang Yun quickly released the second round of voting.

Everyone immediately realized—

In Fang Yun's live stream, temporary gains and losses are not important at all, because his pace is too fast, and he emphasizes large quantity and plenty of food!

Realize this.

Everyone immediately stopped worrying and started discussing the second round of voting.

Although I don't care much about it anymore.

However, those who had been dominated by the special ability in the first round subconsciously skipped this option and instead looked at the other three.

And not long after.

As more and more people reach a consensus.

The number of votes for option 130-160 rose rapidly, quickly leaving the other three options far behind!

Until the one-minute voting period ends.

Looking at the 130-160 option, which is far ahead of the other three options.

Fang Yun nodded and said into his microphone, "It seems everyone wants to see the streamer play with some high-level equipment this round, so the streamer will reluctantly oblige you!"

talking.

Suddenly, he took control of the Invincible Mind and began browsing the stalls selling high-quality books and iron.

Not long after.

Just as everyone was speculating whether he would use level 130 or 140 equipment.

But then he suddenly stopped and opened the treasure vault!

"???"

"No... what is he doing?"

Why would someone skip browsing perfectly good stalls and suddenly start looking for a treasure trove of information?

"Stop dawdling, Cheng-ge, the brothers are ready to make a comeback this time!"

"Is there any possibility that Brother Cheng is planning something big this time?"

"What's the big deal about just getting some equipment... Holy crap?!"

"Oh my god, so cruel?!"

When he opened the treasure vault, everyone was initially puzzled, wondering what he was up to.

But after he browsed through the advanced crafting book interface for a while, and a list of 150 sword books came into view, everyone immediately understood what he was going to do—

This guy actually plans to forge a level 150 sword directly!

It's worth noting that the current version has already released level 160 equipment.

However, level 160 equipment cannot be obtained directly; it can only be acquired by transmogrifying level 150 equipment.

That's why.

It remains the highest-level item that can be obtained directly.

Crafting manuals, especially those for swords, spears, and fans, have consistently commanded high prices!

Fang Yun, who had almost no choice but to select a sword-making book priced at 800 yuan, was seen.

Although everyone knows he's not short of money.

However, many viewers in the live stream still felt a pang of heartache!

It's just a TV show, or even just one part of the whole program.

Fang Yun, however, chose to use in-game purchases to achieve the most barrage of comments.

This really left everyone both amused and exasperated.

"Good guy, I call you good guy!"

"I can buy an 800-yuan sword manual without hesitation, but I'd hesitate even if it cost me an 8-yuan boxed lunch!"

"Your dreams and my dreams seem to be different..."

"Haha, that's Cheng Ge for you! No matter how many times you watch his live streams, there's never a shortage of surprises!"

"This is really bad. The cost of the second round of production has exceeded 1,000 yuan. If a national standard is issued for this, then... Thai pants will be hot!"

"Is it possible that they'll continue to release dedicated versions? After all, Brother Cheng invested so much, and there's even poison involved..."

"It's probably unlikely that they'll release more exclusive weapons in a row. Even if they were cheating, they'd still need to balance work and rest. How can two weapons release exclusive weapons in a row?"

"Hey Cheng, let's make a deal. If we get another special item this round, can we skip it?"

"Goodness, if you ask him, the answer is definitely no!"

Instead of choosing the much cheaper level 130 and 140 equipment, Fang Yun opted for the most expensive level 150 equipment to craft.

This truly surprised almost everyone.

But then I thought about it.

This guy seems to always have this style, always so unpredictable, and of course, with an insane budget that has no upper limit!

And it was precisely because of his outrageous actions.

As a result, the audience in the live stream had long forgotten about the first round and just wanted to see him quickly forge the 150 sword.

But Fang Yun didn't rush to build it. Instead, he gave a wink to the mantis shrimp next to him.

"Okay~"

Upon receiving Fang Yun's signal, Pipi Shrimp grinned and deftly placed the four result options for the second round that he had already edited.

"???"

"I go!"

"I rely on!"

"You treacherous scoundrel from Qiancheng, I will never let you get away with this!"

"Option 1: Has blue text. Option 2: No blue text. Option 3: Has dedicated attribute. Option 4: No dedicated attribute... What about attribute selection? I'm asking you about attribute selection?!"

"This guy is too shameless. Last time he chose pure attributes, and this time he's choosing only blue-text exclusive attributes, right?"

"I finally understand why he said from the beginning that the outcome options for each round of equipment would be customized based on the specific situation. It turns out he was just waiting for us to figure it out!"

"I'd like to ask, if a product is released with a special edition designation and also has blue text, which one counts?"

"I want to ask too! Brother Cheng, this option you chose is a complete bug, I demand a rematch!"

"Rematch +1!..."

The four result options for the second round appeared on the public screen.

The audience, who were chattering away just a second ago about which attribute range to choose, were suddenly dumbfounded!

They knew Fang Yun was a dog, but they didn't expect him to be this dog!

Not only are none of the four options related to attributes, but they also have such obvious bugs.

This made them highly suspicious that these four options were simply something he came up with on the spot!

In fact, they were right.

The highlight of this program lies here, but so does its difficulty.

The level and type of equipment are not fixed for each round, which means that the voting results cannot be prepared in advance.

The fact that the results of each round of voting need to be decided on the spot is a real test of Fang Yun's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Currently, many viewers are questioning whether there are any flaws in his four choices this time.

This was not too unexpected for Fang Yun.

"I saw some viewers asking, what happens if both a special edition and a blue-text version are released at the same time?"

Turning on his microphone, Fang Yun didn't shy away from the question, but said directly, "The host also thought of this, and the host's final solution is 'I want them all'!"

"I want them all? What kind of nonsense is that?"

"Oh no, the streamer's talking nonsense again..."

"Wait a minute! I'm starting to think I understand what he means??"

"Idiot! I want them all! It's just that the special blue text counts, so you win no matter which one you bet on!"

"Holy crap! This game can be played like this?!"

"Awesome! If that's true, Brother Cheng has really pulled off a big move!"

"Whether it's true or not, it's up to Brother Cheng himself to say..."

As he uttered the words, "I want them all."

Most viewers were completely bewildered at first.

But soon.

As viewers familiar with his style of doing things offered their guesses.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement! (End of Chapter)
