Chapter 1934 Limited Edition Auspicious Omen? Experience the New Version!
It's not that the newly released dungeon isn't important.
However, he has long since moved beyond the stage of relying on dungeons to level up.
Even though the new dungeon brings a new giant boss, 'Ancient Thunder God'.
But as a player who frequently interacts with the Peacock King and the demon god Chi You.
The ancient thunder god held very little appeal for him.
For him personally.
The only things that really interested him in the "Turning Stones into Gold" expansion were the new level 160 equipment and the Star Stones.
As for the others.
The brand-new summoned beasts are at most half a thing; the rest are basically just for show.
I read through the introduction to the new expansion pack in one go.
Fang Yun closed the webpage, then found today's maintenance announcement and clicked on it.

Quickly scan today's maintenance announcements.
Fang Yun, who had initially thought that the new expansion would not cause too many changes to other parts, suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Limited edition auspicious..."
Looking at the adjustments to the limited-edition auspicious items and the brand-new refresh rules.
Fang Yun rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Say something.
From his personal perspective alone.
The auspicious mount isn't actually that good-looking; it's just a unique mount.
But the problem is.
As someone who has been there.
But he was very clear about one thing—
In the world of fantasy, anything associated with being "limited edition" twice holds its value!
At that time, most players were unaware of the true value of limited-edition auspicious items.
But as time goes by.
In particular, some rare and limited-edition auspicious items will not be returning to the market.
Characters with rare auspicious symbols immediately saw their value skyrocket!
Take, for example, the most famous auspicious creature in its previous life, the 'Angel Pig'.
Angel Piggy is a special and rare auspicious creature launched during the Qixi Festival in 2014.
Only those who participate in the "Spring Fluttering Contest" of that year and rank in the top ten in total votes among all participants will have the opportunity to win from the Fluttering Prize Pool.
Once you miss this event, you will never be able to get the Angel Piggy again.
In other words, this thing is definitely a rare, discontinued item.
Because of its extremely limited number and adorable design, the Angel Piggy is especially popular among female players.
This leads to the passage of time.
Any account with the "Angel Piggy" tag can easily fetch a premium of 1+ RMB when sold!
Even later, with the discontinuation of the blue and white porcelain brocade robe, it became even more sought after.
Players also gave the blue-and-white porcelain outfit and the angel pig auspicious mount a catchy name: "Azure Sky".
Any account that simultaneously features a blue and white porcelain-themed outfit and an auspicious angel pig.
The starting price is 5+ RMB, and the highest can even exceed 10 RMB!
do not forget.
Ignoring character attributes entirely, just two pieces of clothing can fetch a premium of up to 10+.
It's easy to imagine how well-known and respected the Tianqing is among players.
And the most terrifying thing is...
Even a ship as powerful as the Azure Sky cannot rank first in rarity.
If Fang Yun remembers correctly.
There are two even rarer than the Azure Sky: the Green Poor and the Green Sprout.
The so-called "Qingqiong" is, as the name suggests, a combination of blue and white porcelain and the Qiongqi (a mythical creature associated with war).
This is an extremely rare auspicious item that can only be obtained by the champion of the Martial God Altar Group A.
Although the appearance of the Qiongqi in the War is a bit edgy, its coolness factor is definitely off the charts!
Even without blue and white porcelain.
A single auspicious creature from the War-Torn Qiongqi quest can easily fetch a premium of over 100,000!
And if you pair it with a rare blue-and-white porcelain brocade robe, the price... is simply unimaginable.
As for the Qingmeng ship.
This thing is actually a legendary existence.
Because the Qingmeng ship needs to meet two conditions at the same time: blue and white porcelain brocade clothing + cute golden pig auspicious creature.
Blue and white porcelain brocade is alright.
The adorable golden pig auspicious creature is so rare that obtaining it is beyond difficult; it's practically an impossible task!
The Adorable Golden Pig is the exclusive reward for the overall champion of the Springtime Romance event.
Those who win the overall championship of the "Springtime Romance" event are all renowned and incredibly wealthy players.
Until the year Fang Yun was reborn.
The total number of adorable golden pigs in the entire game is no more than 10.
An account that can simultaneously satisfy the combination of the rare blue and white porcelain and the adorable golden pig is an unknown price, because the cost alone is over a million!
of course.
The examples given now are all extremely rare.
Besides the top three, players have also given names to many limited-edition outfits and auspicious mounts, such as "Ice Rabbit" and "Azure Fox".
These classic combinations of accounts are also quite expensive.
However, compared to the top three, it is still more cost-effective.
However, most of these combinations appeared after 2014.
Before this.
Although NetEase releases a certain number of limited-edition auspicious items every year, the level of attention from players and the potential for premium pricing are very limited, which can be said to be a consequence of the times.
There is only one limited-edition auspicious animal currently available, namely the 'Crane Snow Brocade Rhinoceros'.
seriously.
Although Crane Snow Brocade Rhinoceros is a limited edition item.
But no matter how Fang Yun looked at it, he didn't think this thing had any limited quantity.
It looks really bad...
However, as a reborn person.
Although I really want to complain about the design of this limited edition auspicious creature.
But his actions betrayed him; he acquired them early on, one for each of his main accounts, and even some of his utility accounts.
Whether it looks good or not is another matter; the most important thing is that we've added another item to our inventory.
Today's maintenance announcement also served as a reminder to him.
The era of limited-edition costumes and auspicious items is just around the corner.
No matter how much players tease or mock them.
This thing will be a status symbol in the future; just remember the release date and add it to your cart without thinking.
I didn’t think much more about it.
After reading the announcement, he closed the webpage and saw that the client had been updated. So he entered his account and password and logged into the game.
It's morning now, and we've just had a version update.
But at least in Bianliang City, a large number of players have already finished updating and logged in, and are currently chatting non-stop in the world chat.
"They updated it for ages, but when I came in, I didn't see any changes at all?"
"What level are you at that to expect to experience changes? Do you mean you'll reach level 160 and be able to use new weapons, or access new maps?"
"Judging from the content of the new expansion on the official website, this update doesn't seem to have much to do with us lowly players..."
"What are you talking about? When has any update ever had anything to do with us poor folks? Hurry up and keep working, or the foreman's coming to beat you up!"
"I'm not interested in anything else, I just want to see what the Type 160 weapon looks like. I don't know when I'll be able to see it."
"What's so difficult about that? If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Cheng should already be online. And as soon as Brother Cheng is online, the brothers will definitely be able to see the new level 160 weapon at the earliest today or the latest tomorrow!"
"I believe that. Brother Cheng really takes on jobs, especially things like this that involve a new look. He's always at the forefront!"
Watching the various discussions surrounding the new expansion pack on the world chat channel.
Especially since the conversation would inevitably turn to him.
Fang Yun stroked his chin, thinking to himself that these guys in the district, aside from anything else, really knew him quite well.
What he wanted to do most at that moment was to get the level 160 equipment immediately.
But here's the thing.
One of the consumables required for level 160 equipment, 'Battle Spirit', is probably not yet available to anyone.
However, he was not in a hurry. After logging in, he immediately controlled Qiancheng to head straight for the gem merchant.
Crafting level 160 equipment requires two important consumables: meteorite iron and battle spirit.
Battle Souls are temporarily unavailable, but Meteorite Iron can still be purchased.
They rushed to the gem merchant.
Looking around, he saw a few well-known businessmen from the district heading this way.
Fang Yun decisively used his hand speed, surpassing even Eagle Brother's, and quickly swept up the meteorite iron by clicking on the gem merchant.
"You obtained the meteorite iron."
"You obtained the meteorite iron."
"You obtained the meteorite iron."
"You obtained meteorite iron..."
The system window was rapidly refreshing with prompts to purchase meteorite iron.
He snapped up the first batch of meteorite iron that the gem merchant had put on the shelves.
Looking at the almost untouched Dream Coins, Fang Yun couldn't help but smile slightly—
Consumer rebates—that's terrifying!
Put your mind aside.
He was annoyed to see several merchants rushing over on horseback, only to have them snatch up all the meteorite iron first.
Fang Yun ignored them, opened his backpack, and hovered the mouse over the meteorite he had just scanned.
【siderite】
Meteorite iron, cleaved by thunderbolts, has been tempered over millions of years by battles between divine weapons and demonic energy. Every mark on it bears the imprint of various divine weapons and contains powerful, mysterious energy.
This allows you to transmogrify level 150 equipment. [Right-click to use]
Rating: 160
I glanced at the information about meteorites.
Fang Yun nodded, then controlled Qiancheng to leave the escort agency directly.
It flew to the rooftop and landed.
He first tidied up his backpack, then clicked on the warehouse manager and started browsing the warehouse.
Now that he has obtained the meteorite iron, his next task is naturally to transmogrify his level 150 equipment.
As for the first level 150 equipment piece to be transmogrified...
What's there to doubt? It's time to get the weapons out there!
Entering the warehouse containing 150 weapons, he looked serious as he scanned each weapon one by one.

My gaze swept over these level 150 weapons, which had varying attributes but were generally quite good.
Fang Yun rested her chin on her hand, unsure of what to do.
Although he didn't play with many level 160 equipment in his previous life.
But he had heard people talk about it.
When transmogrifying equipment, the stronger the attributes of the transmogrified equipment, the better the resulting original body will be.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough resources at the time to verify whether this was true or false, or rather, there weren't many people in the entire Fantasy Westward Journey world who could use level 150 equipment to conduct such experiments.
But things are different now.
He now possesses a large number of level 150 equipment with top-tier attributes.
To put it bluntly, asking him to find a standard 150 blank card is not as easy as getting a top-quality 150 card.
Now that he has a large number of level 150 top-tier equipment.
Therefore, there's no need to overthink the transformation options.
His only dilemma now is which piece of equipment to use for his transmogrification 'debut'.
"Hey, Cheng-ye's online so early?"
Just as Fang Yun was picking and choosing among a pile of weapons, unable to make up his mind...
Suddenly, Qiancheng's friend icon lit up. Upon opening it, he discovered it was a message from Beast Master.
"Didn't you log on early too?"
While typing a reply to Beast Master, Fang Yun no longer hesitated and selected one of the weapons with relatively high overall attributes from the pile, intending to practice with it first.
"A new level 160 weapon! Dude, this is the thing I want most. Of course I'd come early! You logged on so early, you must be here for this too, right?"
Just as Fang Yun decided on the first weapon to transform into, Beast Master's reply arrived.
Upon seeing Beast Master's reply, Fang Yun's heart stirred, and he stopped what he was doing. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind!
