"Your equipment is very ordinary~"
Hutton Mull, West Coast District.
A crisp female voice sounded.
The person holding the equipment immediately became dejected.
But soon new players squeezed in.
"Well, what about mine? Big sister Kelly, look at mine!"
"Your equipment is also very ordinary." Kelly didn't even take the blue equipment handed over by the player this time, and made a sharp comment from a distance.
Kelly's comments instantly made the surrounding players dejected.
"If the level 20 blue weapons are all average... then I won't even be eligible to participate."
"Who says it's not true? Although the rewards for the equipment reward event launched by Kelly this time are particularly tempting, I feel that the requirements are too strict..."
While the players were discussing, Xu Mu's figure appeared not far away.
The first thing he did after reaching level 20 was to go straight to Kelly.
First, strengthen both artifacts.
With these two pieces of equipment, you can kill your way through the Sky City.
But as soon as he arrived, he found that Kelly was surrounded by a crowd of people.
I listened in and got a general understanding of the content.
Xu Mu just learned that Kelly recently organized an "Equipment Appreciation Contest" to attract business.
The rules are simple.
Kelly will be the chief judge and select the equipment that is handsome, gorgeous and functional.
The higher the overall evaluation, the more eligible you are to win the grand prize she sets.
The first place winner will receive a +10 equipment enhancement coupon, 1 enhanced protection coupon, and 20% discount on all subsequent enhancement costs
The second place winner will receive a +8 equipment enhancement coupon and a 10% discount on all subsequent enhancement costs.
The third place winner will receive a +7 equipment enhancement coupon and a 9.5% discount on all subsequent enhancement costs.
4th to 10th place winners will receive a +5 equipment enhancement scroll.
A participation prize has also been set up. Every player who participates in the equipment selection can receive 100 colorless small crystals.
As the player level gradually increases.
It's time to strengthen their equipment.
Therefore, as soon as the event was launched, the news spread within the player channel.
Countless players flocked in and surrounded Kelly's enhancement booth.
Even if I don't get any reviews, it's still nice to get 100 colorless items for free.
Now that everyone has started to slowly unlock colorless skills, the demand for colorless is still very high.
The price of colorless is very expensive now, one colorless costs 20 gold, which is almost the money that players can accumulate after killing a round of monsters.
100 colorless ones, if used sparingly they can last for several hours.
If you are lucky enough to make it into the top ten, you can directly obtain +5 scrolls and increase your attack power by dozens of points. You will wake up laughing in your dreams.
The enthusiasm at the scene was very high.
Xu Mu took a look and looked towards Kelly's booth.
It was found that 10 pieces of equipment have been selected and are tentatively ranked in the top ten.
The first one is a level 20 purple lightsaber.
The current enhancement level is +8
The second one is also a level 20 purple weapon, a spear, but the enhancement level is only +7
Although the third place is a +8 purple outfit, the parts are a little bit worse, just the head and shoulders, and the attribute improvement is not as good as the weapon, so it ranks third.
The remaining 4 to 10 are wearing 15 to 20 purple equipment, but the enhanced attributes are not very high.
It seems that each failure to enhance to level 10 would cost at least 5,000 gold coins, which is unaffordable for many players today.
What's more, the probability of not failing once is very low.
The minimum cost of a +10 weapon is at least 10,000 to 20,000 gold.
There simply aren't that many players who have it.
at this time.
Kelly was shouting enthusiastically.
"Are there any warriors who need their weapons appraised? Don't be shy, take them out and let me see how powerful your weapons are!"
However, the auditions seem to have come to an end at this time.
When many players saw the weapons on the stage, they immediately felt that they had no hope of participating in the competition, so not many people responded to Kelly.
Instead, a group of players were whispering under the booth.
"These weapons are too powerful... Compared with them, I was crushed into dust in seconds."
"Wow, wow, I'd better go back and brush the map."
"The weapon of Lord Tianzhu is too powerful. It is a level 20 purple suit + 8 lightsabers, with a naked attack of 300 points. My mouth is watering."
"The first place in this selection should be Boss Tianzhu."
"I heard that Lord Tianzhu himself seems to be the president of a seventh-level guild in the Western Federation, and his personal strength is S+."
"You have a very strong understanding. You can be far ahead even in a brand new dungeon."
Amidst the discussions among the crowd.
Xu Mu also glanced to the side and saw a Western Ghost Swordsman with slicked back hair and a solid build. He was standing at the front of the crowd, with his arms folded across his chest, listening to the praises from the players around him with some enjoyment.
His profession is Sword Soul.
Level 23, wearing the same purple outfit as me, even stronger.
They are all level 20 purple equipment.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the God that the players are talking about, and the owner of the level 20 +8 purple light sword that is currently ranked first on the booth.
"Ms. Kelly, as you can see, no one has shown their weapons anymore." At this time, Tianzhu stretched out his hand to smooth his already shiny back hair, and smiled with some confidence, "Can we move on to the second stage of the selection?"
"Okay." Kelly felt a little regretful.
To be honest, the weapons on the stand are pretty good.
But it didn't reach the treasure level.
It’s a pity that it is already the highest-level weapon at this stage.
Just when Kelly was about to end the equipment audition stage and start the second and final stage of equipment selection.
Xu Mu squeezed through the crowd and interrupted.
"Please help me check the rating of this weapon. Maybe it can be selected."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Mu.
"Damn it, it's already this critical moment, and there are still people participating in the competition."
"I'm still waiting to see the second phase...it's really troublesome."
"Why do you care about others? It's good to have 100 more prostitutes."
While everyone was talking, God, with his arms crossed, looked at Xu Mu and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
He took a closer look at the white windbreaker he was wearing.
And the unique single-letter ID above his head.
God always felt that he had seen or heard of such a person in real life.
But for a moment, I just couldn't remember it.
Right at this moment.
Xu Mu had already taken out the freshly-made Soul-Splitting Blade from his backpack.
As soon as the weapon was used, a pink light became brighter!
The slender sword with flowing flame patterns attracted the attention of everyone present!
After just one glance, almost everyone in the audience gasped.
"hiss……"
"What the hell??? Divine weapon!!!"
"Damn it, this is the first time I've seen a divine weapon! It's really eye-opening."
"The naked attack is already as high as 360... the additional attributes, this, this, this... what kind of supernatural quality is this..."
"Fuck, if you give me just one attribute, I'll die of laughter in the dungeon..."
"Who is this boss?"
"Damn! It seems to be the one who opened the Abyss for the first time just now! If I remember correctly, his ID is also 'A', right?"
After the Rift was taken out, it wasn't just the players present who were shocked.
Even Kelly's eyes narrowed slightly.
This weapon!
Just by reaching out and touching the hilt of the sword, one can faintly feel a powerful energy fluctuation vibrating!
This is definitely a rare and precious weapon!
"Wait a moment, let me examine it..." Kelly took out a strange-looking instrument with the latest technology from the heavens.
Placed on the weapon.
The instrument scanned a red light.
Soon, the rating display popped up.
【Blade of the Soul】
[Weapon rating: 1021 points]
[Enhancement rating score: 0 points]
[Enchantment rating: 0 points]
【Comprehensive score: 1021 points】
1021!
The data consisting of four numbers stunned all the onlookers as soon as they came out.
Some players even couldn't help but scream out loud.
"A four-digit rated weapon? Are you kidding me???"
"Fuck... The weapon that was ranked first by the Lord of Heaven was enough to kill everyone in an instant with 377 points. But when it came into the hands of this boss, it soared to four digits..."
"I looked at the 89-point weapon in my hand silently and didn't dare to say anything..."
Even Kelly's lips curled up in surprise when she saw the high score.
It’s not like she hasn’t seen magical equipment before.
But she had only seen equipment with a rating above four digits in the hands of powerful people from all sides of the Arad continent.
After a moment, Kelly came to her senses and made a prompt announcement.
"I declare that the final champion of this equipment appreciation competition is our warrior 'A'!!"
Kelly had originally prepared a second phase.
It is used to allow the top ten players to rank together when the equipment gap between them is not that big.
To strengthen and then increase the score.
You can also make a huge profit.
But when Xu Mu used the Rift.
There is no point in continuing the second phase.
Under the rift, all beings are equal!
Even before the Rift was enhanced, its high score was already far higher than other equipment.
Comparing the +8 level 20 Purple Light with this one, the Purple Light looks like garbage...
Kelly's adaptability did not cause any objection from the other top ten players.
There is no way, the equipment gap is too obvious.
It’s so big that people don’t even have the mood to compare.
He just felt that his own weapons were too embarrassing and wanted to put them away immediately. How could he dare to shout about competing in the second stage...
[Congratulations on winning the championship of this "Equipment Appreciation Competition"! ]
[You get rewards: +10 equipment enhancement coupons*1, equipment protection coupons*1, Kelly's VIP (title)! ]
The reward was quickly distributed to Xu Mu's backpack through the copy prompt sound.
Among them, the title of Kelly's VIP has no other attributes, but there is an additional entry.
The effect is that when strengthening at Kelly's place, the consumption of gold coins and colorless items is reduced by 20%.
This was an unexpected gain for Xu Mu.
He really just wanted to come here to strengthen his weapons.
In the end, he won the championship inexplicably.
But it's better than nothing.
A +10 enhancement scroll, when used on a level 15 purple outfit, can offset at least 20,000 gold coins and thousands of colorless expenses.
As a divine weapon, the Rift is level 20 and is even more expensive, with the cost of enhancing it starting at 1,000 gold coins + 100 colorless coins.
Can save more for Xu Mu.
Just use it without saying anything.
“Dang→Dang↑Dangdang!”
A pleasing success sound effect pops up.
【Congratulations on your successful strengthening! 】
[+0 Rift Soul Blade → +10 Rift Soul Blade]
[Attack Power: +356 → +511]
The enhanced properties made the surrounding players so envious that they drooled.
"It's so cool to upgrade a high-level weapon to level 10..."
"The additional attack is higher than the attack of my weapon itself..."
"This is just the basic attack. If we take into account various buffs, skill enhancements, etc., this damage will definitely cut the Sky Tower in half..."
"Wow, wow, wow, I really want to hang out with the boss. Does the boss need any hangers-on, the kind that will yell 666 crazily beside you?"
Just when everyone was envious.
However, Xu Mu once again made an even more shocking move.
"Ms. Kelly, please help me continue to strengthen."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the faces of all the players changed.
“What the hell???”
"Still strengthening?"
"If I remember correctly, the rules for equipment enhancement seem to be that if you enhance it again after reaching level 10, there is a risk of the equipment breaking."
"If this is good equipment, I would die immediately if it was broken..."
"Do you think that the boss has the same pursuit as you? Besides, he still has equipment protection coupons, so of course we have to go for it."
"That's true..."
Xu Mu thought so too.
If you don't use the protection voucher in your hand, it will go to waste.
Moreover, after +10, each level up will result in a huge improvement.
You can give it a try.
Even if you fail, you can just start from scratch.
With more than 150,000 gold coins on hand, it should be enough for another round of +10.
then.
Under everyone's attention.
Xu Mu said with a calm expression.
"Please help me strengthen it."
"Warrior, the success rate of upgrading +10 equipment to level 11 is only 20%. Do you want to continue strengthening it?" Kelly kindly reminded.
"Confirmed." Xu Mu said seriously.
"Okay." Soon, Kelly picked up the crack and put it into a large spherical iron lump beside her.
This is a weapon strengthening furnace brought from heaven.
Compared to the traditional hand-hammering of iron by blacksmiths on the continent of Arad, machine-forged iron has higher precision.
With Kelly's skillful operation, she quickly tapped a series of complex buttons densely packed on the instrument.
Finally, yank down on the large left-most stick.
“BOOM! BOOM!”
The strengthening furnace began to heat up rapidly. Through the glass viewing panel, one could see that the already red cracks were heated to thousands of degrees in an instant!
The machine made a huge roar and started to vibrate.
at the same time.
Compared to Xu Mu's calm face, the group of players around him seemed more nervous.
Everyone clenched their fists and stared intently at the light screen display above the strengthening furnace.
"Okay! Go up to daddy!"
"I am witnessing a historic moment! Although the weapon is not mine, seeing the coolest weapon in the entire region reach level 11 makes my blood boil!"
"Make way, let me in, I want to take a photo with the artifact!"
"It has to happen! Big brother in a white windbreaker!"
It was just a few seconds, but it felt like centuries.
finally.
After a pleasant prompt sound rang out.
The results were presented to everyone.
[Congratulations to player 'A' for successfully strengthening! ]
[+10 Soul Blade → +11 Soul Blade! ]
[Attack Power: +511→+584]
The moment the prompt sounded, all the players around were shocked.
“ohhhhhh!!”
"Great, great! We are witnessing history!"
"Holy crap!! It really worked!!!"
"Oh my god! This is a peerless sword! It only adds 150 attributes from 0 to 10, and it adds 73 points directly from 10 to 11...Ghost!"
"584 attack points... I'm so fucking jealous. Give me this sword. I can chop my way all the way to the 100th floor of the Sky Tower without any buffs!"
"Congratulations, warrior, your equipment... is very unusual." Kelly took out the Rift, handed it to Xu Mu, and said with a smile.
In an atmosphere where everyone was very happy, Xu Mu took the sword.
But his face showed some thoughtfulness.
Because he was thinking.
Do you want to continue strengthening 12?
Human nature is generally greedy.
When I didn't have a +10 weapon , I dreamed of having one.
But now we have +11, the attack has increased by more than 70 points directly from 10 to 11.
So, wouldn’t adding 12 mean a bigger increase?
But then again.
Even with the protection voucher this time, there are still some risks.
If you fail, you can consume a protection ticket and use gold coins to overcome the difficulty.
But if you fail now, you can only climb to 10 from 0 at most.
Because it is possible that it will break when it hits level 11, and if it breaks again this time there will be no protection voucher to escort it.
Need to think about it again.
"Help me strengthen it first..." Xu Mu planned to strengthen the artifact ring first, and then think about whether to continue to level 12.
At this time, someone next to him interrupted.
"Please help me strengthen it. My weapon is +10, and I also want to upgrade it to level 11. It's a blue weapon anyway, so if it breaks, it breaks." The Lord took out another +10 blue lightsaber from his backpack and handed it to Kelly.
To be honest, seeing Xu Mu succeed, he is also jealous!
He had tried to reach 10 with the purple light in his hand before, but the cost was too high. After failing twice and rolling back to +0, the Lord of Heaven had no choice but to wear it obediently.
As for rushing to 11, he didn't even dare to think about it.
But now seeing that the effect of Xu Mu +11 is so obvious.
He also planned to take a shot.
The attributes of +11 blue light are comparable to those of +8 purple light .
That kid is so lucky, let's strike while the iron is hot and absorb all his luck!
Help me take off!
After God finished speaking.
"Please wait a moment. I will help you strengthen your weapon after I settle the accounts with this warrior." Kelly saw that business came to her door, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
However, we still have to take care of the current customers first.
She asked Xu Mu symbolically.
"Sir, do you have any equipment that you want to strengthen?"
Upon hearing this, God suddenly became nervous.
Depend on!
This kid is very lucky at this time.
I had originally intended to cut in line and absorb his luck.
What if he continues to strengthen other equipment and runs out of energy?
"No! No! Let me go first, let me go first!" God prayed silently in his heart.
But at this moment, Xu Mu smiled .
"Let him go first. Courtesy is a fine tradition of our Huaxiu Nation."
Seeing that Xu Mu was actually willing to give up his position, God also breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave Xu Mu a thumbs up and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Good! Slant you, my friend."
