"No! There's something in there!" Nine-Turned Purple Dragon pointed excitedly at the thumbnail-sized shards of Energy Crystal Stones embedded inside the Treasure Chest and said, "These Energy Crystal Stones must be the key!"

"Incorporate these shards of Energy Crystal Stones?" One Leaf Floating Cloud's eyes lit up, feeling like a new world had opened up.

Previously, he always felt that the weapon crafting mechanics in this game were overly simplistic, entirely dependent on the level of metal used. The better the metal, the higher the crafting quality, which made the weapon level higher—a monotony akin to reality.

But now One Leaf Floating Cloud realized his ignorance, having forgotten about the existence of Energy Ore.

Thinking about how he had used so much advanced metal to craft whiteboard weapons and equipment for sale in the past, it felt like a massive loss.

"I was wondering why the game developers suddenly raised the price of Energy Ore, and by such a margin. Turns out they were patching ahead of time." One Leaf Floating Cloud couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, "How did I not realize this? If only I had stockpiled Energy Ore earlier, I could have made a fortune by now."

"It's not too late." Nine-Turned Purple Dragon said excitedly, "The Martial Arts Hall currently doesn't sell Attribute Weapons. I checked out the territory of the four major powers during the day, and the weapon shops only sell whiteboard weapons that are overpriced. If our weapon shop starts selling Attribute Weapons now, we can definitely make a killing!"

"Alright! Let's start researching how to craft them!" One Leaf Floating Cloud nodded, starting to dismantle the Golden Level Treasure Chest.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi on the first floor of the Martial Arts Hall arrived at the remodeled basic training room.

"Is this the Initial Stage training room?" Lin Qi surveyed the room and couldn't help but be impressed by the system-renovated training area.

Five thousand units for remodeling was definitely worth it.

The over 200-square-meter room was filled with rich energy, and the energy wasn't too scattered. Merely breathing in made one feel invigorated, and the circulation of Qi and Blood felt faster, making Lin Qi wish he could move into the basic training room permanently.

Besides the concentrated energy in the room, a humanoid machine, two meters tall, stood in the center. The metal used all over it was the same as that of a B6-level coach, meaning the entire Initial Stage combat dummy was made from B6-level alloy.

Even just selling the Initial Stage combat dummy as raw material could fetch a sky-high price, far beyond what a mere five tons of Energy Ore could exchange for.

"Using Energy Ore on the Martial Arts Hall really pays off."

Lin Qi examined the specific functions of the basic dummy, thinking about how the Red Moon Commerce sells entry tickets for a whopping hundred thousand tons of Energy Ore and felt heartache.

But the Energy Ore had to be paid for, as he couldn't manufacture B level Battle Armor or make Type Two Potions, which were crucial for the path of a Martial Artist.

Though he asked Yakro if they could make Type Two Potions, Yakro said he could but had no raw materials, making creation useless.

To produce Type Two Potions, apart from needing the essence of high-tier monster blood, several special plants were required. These special plants were not easy to cultivate as they could only grow in large Energy Ore Veins, not elsewhere.

This is one of the reasons why large cities are built around large Energy Ore Veins.

Without these special plants available in most cities, the only way for him to obtain more Type Two Healing Potions was to purchase from the Red Moon Commerce.

And even if the Micro Energy Ore Vein were exhausted, it wouldn't suffice for one hundred thousand tons. To gather that much, he'd have to mine the small Energy Ore Vein deep within Red Moon Mountain.

However, extracting one hundred thousand tons of Energy Ore from a small vein is no easy task.

Players might only dig out one or two tons of Energy Ore in a day, while small Energy Ore Veins with higher density might yield close to three tons.

One hundred players digging for a day could result in three hundred tons; two hundred players would make it six hundred tons.

What does one hundred thousand tons mean?

That would require two hundred players digging for 167 days, nearly half a year.

However, a small Energy Ore Vein is something that must not be exposed, so either players have to mine or trusted local residents. If exposed, it would be courting death.

Forces in the suburbs might ignore the wild gangs occupying micro Energy Ore Veins, but a small Energy Ore Vein could enrage the suburban factions.

Lin Qi could only mine secretly, but half a year was too long. To quickly obtain the hundred thousand tons, he decided that Meng Wei must recruit more people, risking interference or attacks from the four major powers or other forces.

"This Initial Stage dummy is really impressive; it can learn my Martial Arts and Martial Arts Proficiency directly, with a combat level reaching the realm of Entering the Micro, making it invincible below Martial Artist," Lin Qi clicked his tongue after examining the Initial Stage combat dummy's features.

His current martial skills were of high levels, many at the Realm of Perfection. Truly allowing a combat dummy with B6 level metallic build and Extreme Quasi-Martial Artist strength to grasp it would leave genuine Initial Stage Martial Artists disoriented in battle.

"The ten slots from Red Moon Commerce are also an issue. This might solve it." Lin Qi smiled at the Initial Stage combat dummy and proceeded to let it learn Thunder Light Palm, Leopard Shadow Step, and Thunderbolt Flash, his three Martial Arts techniques, without hesitation.

Originally unsure about which players to choose due to limited slots and numerous potent players, Lin Qi realized he could use the Initial Stage combat dummy to determine a ranking among players. He could host a ranking competition for strength, with rewards to incentivize participation, easily taking top players along to compete.

This approach allowed players to distinguish themselves, increase their strength enthusiastically, and achieve great results in Red Moon Commerce, a two-fold win.

After the initial stage dummy spent two hours mastering the three Martial Arts techniques, Lin Qi prepared to test it out when One Leaf Floating Cloud suddenly contacted him.

"Is there a problem on your end?" Lin Qi asked, looking at the holographic image on his Smart Watch.

"Hall Master, I've completed the Attribute Weapon as you requested. Do you have time to come and inspect it?" One Leaf Floating Cloud inquired excitedly.

"Attribute Weapon?" Lin Qi looked at the excited One Leaf Floating Cloud, full of confusion.

Could weapons really have attributes?
