Flame Demon King?
So Kashan, this socially awkward Enchanting Demon, is actually a rich young lady!
Lu Wenwu immediately felt a sense of respect.
Kashan earnestly said, "However... donât get too happy too soon. My father is only skilled in crafting equipment with a strong abyssal and hell style, and even if I ask him, his asking price would be quite..."
"My little princess, let me personally talk to this human friend."
Before Kashan could finish her sentence, a rugged but gentle voice interrupted.
Beside her small projection appeared another, a gigantic figure as tall as a mountain.
Or rather... a demon!
A genuine Flame Demon King!
The ruler of one layer of the Abyss!
What floated above his head was not hair, but flames of the abyss!
His half-body stood there, resembling an erupting volcano.
Kashan happily hugged the robust arm of the Flame Demon King and obediently left, her projection fading away.
"Hello, esteemed Flame Demon King."
This time Lu Wenwu was unusually serious, even a bit apprehensive.
Not because of the Flame Demon Kingâs strength.
But mainly because he was the father of his friend, which made him feel a bit self-conscious.
The Flame Demon King waved his hand with a slight smile: "No need for formalities. My daughter has a hard time making friends with her personality, and you seem nice. According to your human customs, you can call me Uncle Kazan."
"Uncle Kazan."
Lu Wenwu immediately acknowledged him sensibly.
"Mhm."
The Flame Demon King Kazan nodded.
"So you want to remold and upgrade two pieces of equipment to Legendary Level, right? I heard from Kashan, this is a piece of cake for me. Since sheâs willing to speak for you, I can help you this once, but I have some conditions."
"First, as Kashan mentioned earlier, the equipment I craft has a strong hell and abyss style. You need to make sure you and your human society can accept it. I remember youâre on Blue Star, right? There are quite a few lunatics there who are not fond of our abyss."
"Second, you need to prepare the main materials yourself. If youâre missing subsidiary materials, you can buy the difference from me at cost price. I have a full array of abyss materials here."
"Third, you need to come up with something interesting for me as an exchange, as a fee for my service."
"Helping is one thing, but I canât operate at a loss."
Saying that, the tall Flame Demon King burst into laughter and made a playful remark.
"I think, besides Kashan, you probably havenât met a demon whoâs willing to make a loss, right? All demons are greedy, including me."
"Father! Iâm not silly, I just find it hard to talk to unfamiliar intelligent species!"
From the phone, came Kashanâs intermittent complaints, mixed with Kazanâs happier laughter.
Soon, the Flame Demon King regained a serious demeanor and said:
"If you think itâs okay, take out your materials. Let me see what youâre preparing and what you want to remold. Even if you canât bring out something Iâm interested in, I can still give you some pointers, canât let my good daughter ask for nothing."
Lu Wenwu nodded and took out the broken equipment and materials.
"This pile is Guardian Battle Armor·Chaos Neutral, and this is Heavy Cannon Gloves. Iâm prepared with Abyssal Demon Gold Stone and Treasure Blood Crystal; I wonder if thatâs okay?"
Kazanâs face showed some surprise: "Abyssal Demon Gold Stone? You actually managed to get such a material. More than enough to craft legendary equipment, a mythical-grade base. Treasure Blood Crystal is a bit lacking, itâs not enough to remold this armor to Legendary Level."
"What if I directly add auxiliary materials to craft it?" Lu Wenwu persistently asked.
The Flame Demon King shook his head: "Unless you have three Treasure Blood Crystals, I might barely manage to craft the lowest legendary-grade armor. This material is just average, itâs not in the same league as Abyssal Demon Gold Stone, which is top-tier material."
"If you really want this armor, I can use the Abyssal Demon Gold Stone as the main material for remolding. What comes out will at least be top-quality battle armor among the legendary ranks, sufficient for you to use up to A+ without any problem."
"However, the defense improvement wonât be much compared to now, the main boost will be in attack. Plus, Chaos Neutral isnât primarily defense-focused armor, and since youâre using this series, I presume you donât care much about that defense."
"If you can find legendary creature essence of a quality the same as an S-Tier Giant Dragon or some other curiosities, along with Treasure Blood Crystal, I can help you steadily upgrade these gloves to Legendary Level."
"If not, just relying on Treasure Blood Crystal, it can at most be upgraded to peak Epic Level."
"You should know yourself, the foundation of these gloves isnât great. Itâs likely Rare Level, forcibly upgraded using an Upgrade Card, itâs already at the limit."
"Saying itâs remolding, itâs practically the same as creating a new one."
S Tier...
Lu Wenwu immediately gave up on asking Mao Mao for some blood.
The bloodline of the Divine Beast Huo Dou would absolutely overwhelm that of the Western Giant Dragon.
However, the rank difference is too vast, by three Major Tiers no less.
"Seems like itâs not fated for me to get legendary weapons for now."
Lu Wenwu sighed slightly, took out some items from his backpack, and placed them on the table.
"Do these interest you?"
"Five Emperors Coins? No use."
"This Great Cauldron is nice, but itâs for alchemy, not needed."
"A sealed statue... hmm, interesting but not interesting enough."
"These are... two fangs of the Zombie King?"
The Flame Demon Kingâs casual gaze suddenly fixed, glancing back and forth between the Zombie Kingâs fangs and the Treasure Blood Crystal, gradually revealing a hint of seriousness.
"Human, do you have Zombie Kingâs Bloodline Transformation Potion?" he suddenly asked, "What grade? Is it 95% concentration? 90% is also fine. As long as you can take it out, Iâll help you craft the equipment."
Zombie Kingâs Bloodline Transformation Potion?
Lu Wenwu was immediately puzzled.
Whatâs a Flame Demon doing with such a thing?
And...
Just based on this, he could deduce that I still have treasures I havenât taken out, this guyâs knowledge is scarily deep.
How deep is this guyâs understanding of system rewards?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Wenwu spoke: "If I have a transformation potion exceeding 95% concentration, would Uncle Kazan add a bit more for me?"
"Exceeding? Do you have 99% concentration? Adding more is fine, no problem," the Flame Demon King readily agreed, "Although Iâm very greedy, for the sake of my daughter, I keep my word. As long as you can take it out, Iâll supply all the auxiliary materials, you wonât need to spend a cent."
Lu Wenwu gently shook his head.
This caught the Flame Demon King off guard.
You asked me and then shook your head, what does that mean?
Teasing me?
It couldnât be that...
Ah, it really was that "couldnât be."
Lu Wenwu slowly took out a syringe from his backpack and placed it on the table, smiling as he said: "What if I have a 100% concentration Perfect Zombie King Bloodline Transformation Potion, how would Uncle respond?"
The Flame Demon Kingâs eyes suddenly brightened.
Really brightened.
In those red eyes, two bright flames ignited, looking like a pair of searchlights.
The glare of the bright fire made Xiaobao reveal a disdainful expression, turned over, and lay down with its hands tucked, its tail flicking impatiently.
"I..."
"Father, Iâm watching over here..."
The Flame Demon King hadnât even started speaking when Kashan quietly said.
"Brother Wu previously got a [Miracle] rating with me, you decide what to do."
Flame Demon King Kazan: "..."
A perfect little padded jacket, except it lets the wind in.
Oh well, being able to achieve a [Miracle] rating indeed is a rare talent, this time let it be for my daughterâs social network, itâs not a loss!
Absolutely not a loss!
Iâm a demon!
Iâm a Flame Demon Lord, one of the many rulers of the Endless Abyss!
How could I do a losing business?!
