Chapter 969
Chapter 969: Chapter 903: Act of Fanning the Flames_1 Chapter 969: Chapter 903: Act of Fanning the Flames_1 “That sword…”
Of course, it was wiped by the System!
The answer floated up in Wu Di’s mind, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.
Because this sword wasn’t just any ordinary weapon, it was the one his master used to wield, and there must be deep sentiments attached to it.
When his master gave it to him without any reluctance, it was not only because of the master’s concern, but mostly because of his intention to “pass down his mantle”.
And now suddenly it’s gone?
Wu Di found it hard to put it into words.
“I left it at home and didn’t bring it with me,” he found a lame excuse.
——The lameness of this excuse lies in the fact that he doesn’t have a home in Chang’an City.
“…” Master Han Jing was silent for a moment, then said, “Remember to bring it next time.
How can an assassin walk his path without multiple weapons on him?”
“Remember, you haven’t been graduated yet!
There is still a stack of trainings waiting for you.”
The training in [Path of an Assassin] was undoubtedly a piece of good news.

Although the training was troublesome, it could indeed make him stronger.
If it was before, Wu Di would definitely be happy about it.

But he couldn’t laugh at the moment.
Because his master asked him to “bring the White Rainbow next time”, but where could he get it from?
After leaving, Wu Di was still worrying about this issue.
Is it possible to ask a blacksmith to make a copy of it?
The problem is that he doesn’t have the blueprints, and it would definitely be recognized!
What should he do?
Avoid seeing Han Jing forever?
Wu Di was worried and felt indescribably emotional.
He rode his horse through the streets, arriving at the place where he had last put down the sword——underneath the Meditation Tower.
He didn’t enter the first level for the daily tower climbing combat, but instead, using his lightness skills, climbed up the exterior wall of the tall tower layer by layer.
Deep down, he didn’t really believe that the sword would still be at the top of the tower——
Several versions have passed, right?
But he could not think of any other way and could only hold on to the belief of “Only after seeing it with my own eyes can I completely give up hope,” to confirm it.
Wu Di isn’t an extreme “all agility” character like Red Dust, however due to the influence of the initial [Path of an Assassin] training, his distribution was inclined towards maneuverability.
The remaining part was put on damage, and he could barely be considered “Strength and Agility Dual Cultivation”.
Therefore, even though the Meditation Tower was tall, it wasn’t difficult for him to climb it.
After taking a breather halfway, he managed to smoothly reach the top.
He approached the spire, stepping on his tiptoes, and reached upwards.
As soon as his hand reached out, he froze.
——He touched something!
A long object with a leather texture.
He slid his hand along the leather, past the sword guard, touched the hilt, and then grabbed it.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly drew out the short sword with its sheath.
“Clang!”
Without any delay, Wu Di pulled out the short sword!
It was a straightforward, unadorned short sword with no patterns.
Only near the sword guard on the blade, there were two inscriptions engraved——
[White Rainbow]
It was the weapon that Master Han Jing had given him!
The sword he placed here before the server was closed.
The sheath was not decayed, and the blade was not rusty.
It was exactly the same as when he left it here, it was indistinguishable from the real thing.
But Wu Di found it hard to believe:
“Is this even plausible?!”
“Several versions have passed, right?”
His shock was entirely reasonable, considering that in any other game in Cloud Dream, this would have been wiped out.
It’s just that the development process of “Chang’an” was somewhat special, the very first version, ——which was when Wu Di used the[New World Travel Ticket]to enter, Chang’an city was hand-built by experts, professors, and graduate students in ancient architecture, and it wasn’t even the final version.
Everything in that version was saved in real time, so junk wouldn’t just be recklessly refreshed, let alone items.
Not until the development team took over entirely, and “Chang’an” entered its official development phase, was virtual Chang’an City finalized and hooked up to a more sophisticated refresh mechanism.
And this unnoticed short sword was packaged up with everything else.
Unless manually deleted by someone with high-level authority, it will stay here.
It took a while for Wu Di to snap out of his shock and elation.
Then, like Red Dust, he discovered something odd ——
This sword had no system introduction.
No matter how long he stared at it, the system was motionless, as though what he was gripping was not a sword but a brick.
No, even if you picked up a green brick from the ground, the system would still give you a prompt ——
[Green Brick]: Blunt weapon, a useful tool in street fights, can block slashes from weapons below master level.
(Note: Can also be used for home construction or paving roads.)
Only when the green brick is part of the road and not picked up, will it not be annotated by the system.
In other words, in the system’s eyes, this sword is the same as “scene modeling”.
Wu Di looked at the sword, eager to try out its hardness, but was also afraid it would be destroyed —— the grandmaster-level treasure sword on his waist carried a ‘Breaking Edge’ trait that specifically damaged the durability of opponents’ weapons.
If he chipped the [White Rainbow], not only would his master be upset, he himself would also be reluctant to do so.
The value of this sword was no longer in itself.
The fact that it could survive across versions made it well worth collecting.
But soon, he came up with a new idea.
He exited his personal world, arrived at the public world, used his lightness skill to reach the peak of the Meditation Tower again, and reached for the tallest spire!
A huge smile blossomed on his face as he indeed found another [White Rainbow]!
Wu Di didn’t stop there, making another run to the [Peace] version of the public map and got a third one.
Now he could test at ease.
He drew the sword at his waist, holding the [White Rainbow] in one hand and the [Yan Zhi] in the other, and fiercely struck them together.
“Clang!”
Both were unscathed.
Wu Di was surprised and meticulously checked the edge of White Rainbow.
It was indeed not rolled at all!
“Clang!
Clang!
Clang!”
After going all out and striking thrice in succession, White Rainbow finally had tiny blade damages.
This suggested that White Rainbow probably also ranked at the [Grandmaster Level] in terms of toughness, only that it didn’t have the ‘Breaking Edge’ trait, so it was at a disadvantage during the clash.
This discovery gave him an idea:
If he made this public, wouldn’t it help a lot of casual players easily get a weapon that is, at least, [Master Level], and might reach [Grandmaster Level]?
Even after the official sale of “Chang’an”, not everyone can get a [Grandmaster-Level] weapon.
A lot of casual players haven’t even completed the main quest, they aren’t interested in fighting, and they don’t have enough high-level materials to give to the blacksmith to craft, so their chances of getting a high-level weapon are slim.
If they can easily get this [White Rainbow], even if it would not be used regularly, they will certainly be very happy.
Not just casual players, having this weapon would also make it much easier for new players to explore.
But the problem is, doing so would strongly hint of exploiting a system loophole, and the staff at Yunmeng might not be too pleased…
Wu Di fell into a deep conflict.
After sitting in deep thought atop the Meditation Tower for a good 10 minutes, he decided to take a middle course.
He opened the panel, first switching to the forum where he drafted a post: [The Easiest Way to Acquire a Historically (Quasi) Grandmaster-Level Weapon!
Complete in less than 10 minutes, no combat required, no level restrictions, everybody can get one!]
Then he switched to his mailbox, writing an email to the Yunmeng “Chang’an” Project team with the subject: [Found Something That May or May Not Be Considered a BUG].
After this, Wu Di was poised to simultaneously hit publish.
What followed was the moment to witness who was faster, the players or Yunmeng!
Just thinking about it excited Wu Di!
