Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

```

The equipment forged with these materials won't be weaker than any piece of equipment on Chen Qi!

In the White Tower Hunter team, there are no Transcendents who follow the Belief in Shell Coins, unable to gauge the value of an item intuitively.

Therefore, they unanimously opened their backpack cards, found the 'Shadow Phase Crack' drop item book, and frantically collected information.

At that moment, Chen Qi, who wasn't reading, seemed somewhat out of place.

Chen Qi squatted down, pondering the things he needed, loving books as the White Tower Hunters do...

According to the agreement, he could take thirty percent of the rewards.

Chen Qi once again appraised the value of the five rare materials and glanced again at the Little Shadow Weaver in his hand.

The Eye of the Fearful can cause high mental attacks, and while it seems powerful, it's actually quite feeble.

The Eye of Fear requires direct gaze into the Fear Blood Eye to cause mental damage, ineffective against the blind or those who close their eyes while controlling it.

Most importantly, mental attack types aren't very effective in the New Sun world.

Like Chen Qi, who has the passive skill 'Night Monster' that locks his mental threshold.

And many Transcendents get stronger as they get crazier!

Space Shuffler's employee card can also be ruled out as he is not a messenger, Traveler, of the Lamp Phase, without the intuition for movement technique skills, which means it's extremely hard for him to learn such high-order special movements.

Chen Qi's gaze settled on the Weaver's Silk, Shadow Heart, and Shrivel Shadow Hand.

Weaver's Silk is the most versatile material, known as the universal 'connector'.

While the Shadow Heart and the Shrivel Shadow Hand can be handed directly to the 'Little Shadow Weaver'.

Chen Qi asked softly toward the others,

"What are your choices?"

He seems like quite a normal monster; could he really be that Hunter killed by the Flower Witch... Melanie immediately shut her book and said,

"I want the Shadow Heart! It's a rare power core! My teacher has always hoped to create a powerful Shadow Chimera! He needs a strong Shadow Phase core!"

At that moment, the White Tower's timid female Mechanic said,

"Sister Melanie, I want the Fear Blood Eye, I want to install it on myself, so people will want to look away when they see me..."

"..."

Chen Qi pondered for a moment, somewhat torn, lifting the Little Shadow Weaver in his hand:

"Little Shadow Weaver? What do you think?"

"???"

The Little Shadow Weaver turned its head, staring blankly at Chen Qi, stammering.

It's pretending—pretending it can't speak...

A hint of crimson flashed in Chen Qi's eyes:

"Stop pretending! Speak! Or I'll pluck your antlers off!"

"Hmph!"

The Little Shadow Weaver stubbornly kept silent.

Never to submit to humans—it's a line and a matter of pride for it!

"Number One! Beat it up for me!"

"I can't decide unless you have equipment to craft!"

The Little Shadow Weaver caved in at lightning speed.

Chen Qi smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle tone:

"That's right, be good! Little Shadow Weaver, what materials do I need to take if I want to upgrade these items I'm wearing?"

The Little Shadow Weaver is called a super rare NPC, not only because of the vast rare materials it drops but more importantly, it possesses a very powerful equipment upgrade function.

Used in conjunction with the creeping shadow and Weaver's Silk, it can upgrade any piece of equipment into a stronger Shadow Forbidden Equipment.

The Little Shadow Weaver blinked and silently pointed to the materials on the ground, saying timidly,

"Weaver's Silk, Shrivel Shadow Hand, and a portion of Shadow Silk..."

There's another way!

The White Tower Hunters silently put down their books.

So you can ask the Boss about the material's value!

Clearing her throat twice, Melanie adjusted her collar and cautiously approached Chen Qi,

"Little Shadow Weaver, what about me?"

The Little Shadow Weaver looked Melina up and down, whispering softly,

"Aside from your card, everything on you is trash, no need for an upgrade, take whatever!"

"Trash..."

Melanie froze completely, clenching her teeth.

Those were the best uniforms of the Hunter Association!

She took a deep breath, recognizing that despite its protection from bullets and Spiritual Power attacks, the uniform lacked any powerful offensive functionality, making it at most a medium-grade equipment of C-rank crack.

Though angry, she had to admit the fact.

Afterward, the remaining six White Tower Hunters also each consulted the Little Shadow Weaver.

Apart from the female Mechanic who wanted the artificial eye, most Transcendents were told to take anything at random.

Ultimately, after a series of distributions, Chen Qi accepted the Weaver's Silk, the withered Shadow Hand, and ten strands of Shadow Silk.

The remaining items were distributed to her teammates by Melanie.

"A grand harvest!"

Melanie was exceptionally excited. With so many materials, and just a few more Shell Coins spent on buying some neutralizing Book Phase materials, forging a new set of taboo equipment was not a difficult task.

At that moment, Chen Qi addressed Melanie, saying:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure working with you, but could I ask you to step aside for a moment now?"

"???"

Melanie tilted her head:

"Monster? Step aside, what do you mean?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment, then said:

"I need to find the Little Shadow Weaver to reforge some equipment, and I don't want others to see the process of this forging.

Of course, there's one small thing, in this process, I might need to undress, revealing my true appearance."

The true strength of a Shadow Weaver lies in upgrading equipment!

Chen Qi now needed to take off the Residual Fire Touch.

And once the Residual Fire Touch was removed, he might expose his true identity.

Chen Qi had a very strong premonition.

Once the handle on his real identity was exposed, the White Tower Hunters, given their style, would not let him off easily.

Melanie raised an eyebrow:

"What's the big deal? It's just a change of clothes. Can't we take a quick look?"

She was extremely curious about the true appearance underneath this monstrous hunter's attire, whether it was a faceless monster or a void-like visage.

Or perhaps a cute little boy, or someone with glasses, with a determined gaze, the appearance of a top-tier Book Phase expert...

Melanie was particularly curious, even having an urge to forcibly strip Chen Qi of his clothes.

Most importantly, once she learned of the Black Hunter's true appearance, she could use "Black Hunter, you don't want others to know your true appearance either, right?" to directly threaten the hunter before her.

"Are you sure?"

Chen Qi said softly.

Alas, the other party was clearly on guard, at least the Melanie of today who abides by contracts couldn't do it... Melanie gritted her teeth and said reluctantly:

"Fine, after you're done enjoying the Shadow Weaver, it's our turn!"

Melanie and her teammates also had many pieces of equipment to forge.

"No problem."

Chen Qi, carrying the Shadow Weaver, casually found a dark room, walked in, and placed an ordinary kerosene lamp, powered with electricity, on the table.

Next, Chen Qi had the Water Elf guard the door, took off the Residual Fire Touch, and put on a common set of Hunter's Clothes that covered his entire body.

Afterward, Chen Qi took out the creeping shadow, Weaver's Silk, Shadow Silk, and the withered Shadow Hand.

"Little Shadow Weaver, it's up to you. Can these be upgraded?"

The Residual Fire Touch was already half destroyed; even if it couldn't be repaired, after upgrading, it could provide a great deal of fighting power!

Chen Qi placed the Little Shadow Weaver on a dusty wooden table.

As soon as the Little Shadow Weaver was set down, it, like a dexterous Hammer Phase Master, instantly hooked up the shadow from the ground to create a dark-colored loom:

"No problem, upgrading clothes is my specialty!"

As it spoke, eight little hands of the Shadow Weaver each produced a black needle for weaving.

Combat was just a hobby; weaving was its main business!

Professional!

That's right... Chen Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out his Residual Fire Touch.

The Residual Fire Touch was a piece of taboo equipment that he had obtained in the Land of Trial from the Witch.

Unfortunately, the Residual Fire Touch had a significant weakness: it required attention and focus to use.

Consequently, this piece of taboo equipment did not fit Chen Qi's combat style at all.

It could be said that the equipment was being wasted in his hands.

Chen Qi said quietly:

"Little Shadow Weaver, by the way, if you have the capacity, upgrade this piece of equipment for me too!"

"What is this!"

Upon seeing the Residual Fire Touch, the Little Shadow Weaver's big white eyes instantly shrunk to half their size!

"The Residual Fire Touch, what's wrong?"

Chen Qi asked curiously.

The Little Shadow Weaver clenched its fists excitedly:

"Monster, your Residual Fire Touch and this Residual Fire Hand are highly compatible, they can perfectly merge to form a taboo within taboos, an unimaginable masterpiece!"

Saying this, the Little Shadow Weaver couldn't wait to operate the loom, starting the weaving process.

A taboo within taboos... Chen Qi was slightly startled, his eyes reflecting the myriad of exceedingly dexterous Shadow Hands.
