Lin Yi, covered in bruises, dragged his steps towards the central area, mumbling something to himself. In some way, he kept moving forward. Everyone, seeing the boss so severely injured, gasped in shock. Many people asked what happened, and everyone proactively offered to help him get to the cafeteria. Lin Yi’s head felt stuffed with cotton, but he still tried to maintain a tough-guy demeanor, earning gasps of admiration. "Wearing a fur coat in the summer, sleeping on a cold bed in winter, damned suffering!" Lin Yi muttered. Fortunately, Martha came up at this time, politely thanking everyone for their help. Meanwhile, she supported the limping boss, squeezing his muscles to ensure he didn’t fall. Arriving at the dining table. Annie saw the boss, her mouth full of food nearly causing her to choke like a sneaky little cat. "Boss? Hey, the boss is here!" "Boss?" Everyone stood up and quickly walked to his side. Lin Yi looked at the concerned faces in front of him, noticed their heartfelt sympathy, and smiled. "We’ll talk later, let me eat first." The table was filled with a bowl of meat soup and a dish made of potatoes, meat, and vegetables. Lin Yi ate to his heart’s content, and when he was full and satisfied, he finally lifted his head from the plate, leaning back in the chair. Contentedly, he looked up at the starry sky: "Solomon, how is the defense situation?" "The beastmen are building siege weapons, but I think it’s another attempt to provoke us." "Hmm, but we must remain vigilant." "I have good news, boss." At this moment, the red-haired girl Sylvie began to report progress. "With the help of Professor Mark and Louis, I successfully crafted system weapons and placed them in the armory!" Lin Yi concentrated, and a short spear transmitted from the armory appeared in his hand. Well, how to describe it? It looked more like a blade duct-taped to a stick... [Inferior Light Spear, Level 0] Weapon made by a novice, with low durability and damage, and inconvenient to use. [Note: This weapon may break during attacks] Lin Yi looked at the thing in his hand, not sure what to say, the description didn’t sound too flattering. Sylvie blushed red and shouted loudly: "Not that one, boss! There’s another spear!" Stunned, Lin Yi produced another one. [Light Spear, Level 1] Made using a Level 4 Weapon Smith workbench. Although the maker lacks experience and skill, it has reasonable balance and good attributes. "Hmm... this one looks pretty good." Lin Yi held the 2-meter-long spear, found it approximately six pounds, heavier than normal, but seemingly suitable for battle. Its inch-long steel spearhead was cross-shaped, preventing it from getting stuck in an enemy’s body. At this point, Professor Mark stepped forward to ask, "Boss, can I take a look?" Lin Yi nodded and handed the spear to him. The professor silently examined the spear for a while, then handed it back with a slight smile. "Boss, take a look at the description again." [Light Spear, Level 1] Made using a Level 4 Weapon Smith workbench. Although the maker lacks experience and skill, it has reasonable balance and good attributes. [Hidden Attributes Detected] Price to sell in shop: 13 coins. Seeing the hidden attributes, Lin Yi smiled: "Not bad! Congratulations, professor, you finally figured out how to use your skills." Before this, old Mark obtained Identification Skills, but identifying various drugs, materials, and other agents showed no effects. The old professor was also pleased, although his Identification Skills had certain limitations. This skill can only gain experience when first identifying new types of items, and the experience gained depends on item level. Lin Yi sent the spear back to the warehouse, then took out a regular Level 2 System Sword. Googlᴇ search 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 [Basic One-Handed Sword, Level 2] Slightly better than a newbie’s baseball bat, perfect for chopping a regular zombie’s head. But be careful not to hurt yourself! And don’t use it to stab friends or family as it’s dangerous! The professor took a sip of coffee, walked to the boss, took the sword, and started identifying it. [Basic One-Handed Sword, Level 2] [Hidden Attributes Detected] Price to sell in shop: 16 coins. Witnessing this, Lin Yi laughed: "Pour more coffee for the professor!" "Hmm?" Old Mark looked puzzled. Lin Yi took items from the warehouse for the professor to authenticate. When they finally finished, the old man was pale from consuming too much magic value. Nevertheless, because of this. Lin Yi confirmed all Level 1 Armor’s defense is 6, all Level 2 Armor is 9. A baseball bat’s attack power is 10, a lucky axe is 13, a Level 2 bow is 18, a Level 3 sword is 22. Magic equipment has no hidden attributes. Lin Yi asked Sylvie: "Is making spears or other system weapons difficult?" "Boss! Very difficult, super difficult! But after making the first one, I got a recipe, now making new spears using the workbench doesn’t take much time." "What do you need to make them?" "Coins, and resources from the shelter." "Okay, I’ve got three tasks for you." Lin Yi said, raising three fingers. He bent one finger: "The first task, make sixty spears." Then bent another finger: "The second task, I need throwing spears, so try to make some decent ones, preferably at least Level 2." "The third task, study the beastmen’s equipment, I need system armor, you try making metal armor first, then use rabbit hide, once you’ve gained enough experience, attempt using rat king hide to create armor." Lin Yi lowered his hand, raising his eyebrows to the girl: "Can you complete these tasks?" "I... okay, boss!" Sylvie hesitated but then earnestly agreed. But afterward, she suddenly asked: "Boss, if I succeed in completing the tasks, could you..." "What?" Lin Yi looked at the red-haired girl, puzzled by her bashful reddening face. Sylvie’s cheeks turned hot, but she mustered her courage and looked at the boss. "Boss, if I succeed in completing the tasks, could you agree to one small request? I can’t tell you now what it is, but it’s definitely small!" "Hmm... sure, even if it’s a bit bigger, no problem!" Lin Yi said, laughing heartily. This girl has a strong character, whatever would make her shyly say something is quite curious. After dinner, injured Lin Yi decided to take a hot bath, as the magical lake water had a significant effect on healing his wounds. He also got a full body massage, and then staggered back to bed, sleeping very soundly...
