Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 493, Shadow Fortress?!

Translator: Silavin

Lu Fan was not interested in what was happening in the auditorium.

After returning to Villa No. 2, he distributed the gifts Ye Wuxian had brought for everyone. The sight of these gifts caused Tao Xiaoman, Qin Qiu and the others to exclaim in surprise.

This was because the gifts Ye Wuxian gave were all extremely valuable!

Not to mention anything else, just the items Tao Xiaoman received would be enough to make any Swordsman envious.

Besides the Platinum Grade sword Lu Fan had shown her earlier, there was also a complete Level 35 Platinum Grade Equipment Set, with Attributes perfectly catered to Tao Xiaoman’s Water Sword God Profession.

It could be said that equipping such items would at least double Tao Xiaoman’s Combat Power! In fact, this Equipment Set would be enough for Tao Xiaoman to use until she was Level 60, and had her Third Profession Change.

Ye Wuxian had also very thoughtfully prepared a complete set of Level 60 Platinum Equipment Set for Tao Xiaoman, as well as a Level 60 Platinum Grade sword!

With this, Tao Xiaoman would not have to worry about her equipment and weapons for the near future. After all, looking at all the auction houses in Dragon Capital, it would be close to impossible to find any better or more suitable equipment for her.

Theoretically, Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu were from decent backgrounds. In Jianghai City, they would definitely be considered very wealthy. But compared to someone like Ye Wuxian, who came from an Ancient Noble Family, their Families’ assets were insignificant to a sad degree.

At the very least, with their Family wealth, it would be very difficult to gather two such complete Equipment Sets and weapons for Tao Xiaoman.

In addition, Ye Wuxian had also acquired two Water Sword God Skill Books for Tao Xiaoman. The only downside about the Skill Books was their High Level Requirements. So, Tao Xiaoman would not be able to learn them for a period of time.

The others were similar to Tao Xiaoman, receiving many good items from Ye Wuxian.

Even Han Ke, apart from receiving many Enchanted Cook Skill Books, she also received equipment that could be worn by Lifestyle Specialised Profession.

This equipment could provide Han Ke with impressive Attributes, and also provided a Defensive Skill similar to Holy Light Protection. This way, she had some means of self-protection when facing Monsters or other Players.

Almost everyone replaced their equipment, directly upgrading from their outdated gear. This caused their Combat Power to dramatically surge!

It was so much that after Tao Xiaoman looked at her Attribute Panel, she declared that she no longer needed Lu Fan’s help, and that she was now completely confident in her ability to single-handedly take on five opponents at once and lead everyone to first place!

[This arrogant boastful idiot.] Lu Fan chuckled in his heart. He believes that if they encountered teams made up of ordinary students, Tao Xiaoman could definitely take on five of them at once. After all, in terms of Level and equipment, Tao Xiaoman was definitely not inferior to Jiang Fengyun, and might even surpass him.

Even if she was still somewhat lacking in combat experience, to ordinary Players, she was equivalent to a Boss.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of wearing their new equipment. They were all grateful to Ye Wuxian. They even discussed how they should properly thank this ‘Senior Sister’ later.

Just as Lu Fan was happily chatting with everyone, there was a knock at the door of Villa No. 2. Lu Fan went to open it and found Zhao Shengming, who had just returned from the auditorium.

Lu Fan initially thought that Zhao Shengming had come to talk about the final exam, but upon asking, this was not the case.

It turned out that Zhao Shengming had come specifically to inform Lu Fan that he had just received a phone call, learning that a team from Feather Country had arrived at Dragon Capital University. They wanted to meet Lu Fan, saying they had important matters to discuss.

Currently, Dragon Capital University had already received them, and Zhao Shengming had come to notify Lu Fan, hoping he would go meet these guests.

Upon hearing that people from Feather Country had arrived, Lu Fan immediately recalled that Andrei had promised to send Engineers from Feather Country to help him rebuild Shadow Isle.

[Seems like those Engineers have already come up with a design for the rebuilding of Shadow Isle. They must have come to discuss the plan with me.] Lu Fan had been waiting for the Engineers for a long time, and seeing that they had arrived, he naturally did not delay and immediately went with Zhao Shengming to the University’s reception hall.

In the reception hall, there was indeed a team of Feather Country Engineers.

The leader was a middle-aged man with quite distinctive features. These were features Lu Fan often saw on men in Feather Country – he had a big beard and a large belly of great fulfilment. He was also wearing glasses.

Lu Fan found him somewhat familiar. Then, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this man in international news!

He was called Marozov. He was one of the top Engineers in Feather Country.

Three years ago, Feather Country had spent enormous resources to build a Death Fortress on their national border where Monster Tides frequently occurred, in order to resist the Monster Tides.

One of the designers of the Death Fortress was Marozov.

At that time, Lu Fan had just arrived in this world not too long ago. When he saw the Death Fortress on the television, he was utterly shocked. This was how he had some impression of Marozov, an Engineer all the way from Feather Country.

[But, his specialty should be in defensive fortifications. Andrei… are you going a bit… overboard by finding him to rebuild Shadow Isle?] Lu Fan felt that the direction of Shadow Isle’s construction seemed to be developing toward a nation for combat…

Lu Fan was not sure if that was right. [Well, let’s see the design first before making any judgements.]

After bringing Lu Fan here, Zhao Shengming left, giving Lu Fan and Marozov’s team full privacy for their meeting.

Both sides exchanged pleasantries, then began to discuss business.

Marozov promptly took out the design drawings for Lu Fan to review, asking for his opinion.

After receiving the designs, Lu Fan was shocked after just one glance.

[Wow. This is too much!]

Originally, Lu Fan had wanted to build a villa in the centre of Shadow Isle, at the Palace of Torn Ancient City, for people to live in. However, the building in the design was not a villa at all. It was clearly a smaller version of the Death Fortress!

The Death Fortress was a defensive structure capable of withstanding Monster Tides. It was extremely robust.

Although according to the design, the interior still prioritized comfortable living, the exterior was designed with the armed defences of the Death Fortress!

Lu Fan could not understand how this was comfortable. After all, if this was built, they would be living in an iron fortress on his own territory. [Do we really need that much security!?]

After Lu Fan raised his doubts, Marozov seemed somewhat confused. “What? Mr. Lu, are you not satisfied with living in such a magnificent fortress? Ordinary villas are all show but little substance. They can barely withstand the Skills of a Second Profession Player. Meanwhile, the ‘Shadow Fortress’ we designed for you, will be built with special materials. It will also include eight Defensive Arrays that can easily withstand attacks from Fourth Profession Players. Only by living in such a building can one sleep soundly at night…”
