Chapter 256 Rare Orange Gear Blueprints

[Building Modules: 0/5 (Specialty–style structures available for construction)]

“A separate building system?”

Riley raised an eyebrow. Players couldn’t build freely inside the subspace. There were clear construction limits.

What intrigued her more was the biosphere capacity. Did that mean she could capture small beasts from monster forests and raise them here later?

Riley closed the interface and glanced behind her. Her two teammates were already messing around on the sand. She twisted the remaining “Random Space Card” between her fingers.

“About this card…”

Before Riley could finish her sentence, PineappleBeer seemed to read her mind.

She sat up straight on the sand and waved her hand quickly.

“Don’t even think about giving it to me. It’d just go to waste in my hands.”

PineappleBeer brushed sand off her clothes and spoke in a serious tone/

“My camp only has the bare essentials. I don’t even own a proper living room. I’m always out traveling too. This card works best with you.”

“Right!” TartKing scurried over, her eyes sparkling brightly. “You have the teleportation array. We can come hang out anytime we want if you keep it.”

“Fine by me.”

Riley didn’t argue. With the guild portal connecting their camps, it barely mattered who kept the card.

“Let’s save the card for later. Gotta leave some suspense.”

“Agreed!”

Riley slipped the card back into her inventory. Then she pulled out all the remaining glowing loot orbs.

The first orb contained five crystals shimmering with bright blue light.

[Water Source Core (Epic)×5]

[Effect: Spawns an inexhaustible spring after activation. Users may customize its shape. Maximum daily output: 1000 liters of purified water.]

Riley picked one crystal up.

“It’s nothing but snow out there right now,” she said. “Melting snow for water is such a hassle. We waste coal and manpower on it, plus melted snow always has this weird earthy aftertaste. It’s full of impurities too, and drinking too much of it lowers your health

“One core for each of us.”

Riley handed one crystal to each girl.

A thousand liters of clean water per day was more than enough for daily use and farm irrigation.

“We’ll put the last two in the guild storage,” Riley mattered after a quick pause. “Our guild is gonna expand soon. We can use them as contribution point rewards.”

Next came a thick stack of cards.

[Weapon Upgrade Card (Intermediate)×100]

“A hundred cards…”

Even Riley’s pulse quickened at the sight of the towering pile of golden cards.

Higher–tier gear required exponentially more upgrade materials, but a hundred upgrade cards still gave them an overwhelming advantage at this stage of the game.

Riley originally planned to split the cards evenly three ways.

However, TartKing admitted she didn’t need as many upgrades as the other two. She only asked for 20 cards, leaving the remaining 80 for Riley and PineappleBeer to divide equally.

In the end, Riley and PineappleBeer each took 40 cards.

After the upgrade cards came the equipment blueprints.

The first one was an orange–tier weapon “Spirit Touch Staff“. It was a one–time craft blueprint with no repeat uses.

The staff was tailored for priest classes, so TartKing claimed it without question.

TartKing hugged the blueprint and grinned like an idiot, daydreaming about how cool she’d look wielding the magical staff.

The remaining two blueprints had far more universal uses.

[Blueprint: Polar Walker Boots (Orange–Reusable Crafting)]

[Attached Materials: Polar Berserker Bear Paw Pad×10 (Core Material)]

[Blueprint: Tactical Rune Leg Band (Orange–Reusable Crafting)]

[Attached Materials: Dark Beast Ligament×10 (Core Material)]

Riley picked up the boot blueprint and carefully read its stats.

[Polar Walker Boots]

[Stats: Agility +25, Constitution +15] [1

+Special Effect 2: Double Jump. Allows a second airborne leap for mid–air maneuvering.]

“Double jump?!”

Riley gasped. She could barely imagine pulling off that skill she’d only seen in video games.

She glanced down at the crafting requirements, and her expression instantly darkened.

[Crafting Requirements (Single Pair):]

[Core Material: Polar Berserker Bear Paw Pad×5 (Provided by System)]

[Basic Materials: Refined Steel Ingotx20, High–Grade Beast Hidex5, Mana Crystal Powder–10, Rubberx5…]

Riley’s mouth twitched in annoyance.

“Cheap system,” she muttered in complaint. “Why give us core materials if you’re not gonna finish the damn gear? All these extra crafting materials are such a hassle.”

Despite her complaints, she carefully stored the blueprint away. Reusable orange–tier gear was extremely valuable, and every member in their guild might end up wearing a pair someday.
