054 Strengthening is risky, and caution should be exercised when entering the furnace

After inquiring about the 'Boss Strategy Meeting', Yi Tiancheng continued to purchase information about the 'Weapon and Equipment Enhancement'.

He brought his three daughters to the blacksmith shop, the purpose of which was not only to repair weapons and equipment, but also to strengthen and upgrade.

The equipment resources on the first floor are very simple, and the best equipment that can be bought in the weapon and equipment store is the level 5 tabula rasa suit currently used by Yi Tiancheng and the others.

In all fairness, aside from the superb "Sword of Fortitude" in Kirito's hand, the whiteboard equipment sold in these stores is not cost-effective for enhancement.

However, to be rich is to be capricious.

It wasn't strengthened before, because it was because it changed equipment, bought teleportation crystals and potion consumables, and spent Yi Tiancheng's small treasury.

But after a day of high-efficiency monster farming, Yi Tiancheng's money bag swelled again, and strengthening equipment and weapons is currently the only way to significantly improve combat effectiveness, so naturally there is no reason not to spend money on it.

After selling the weapon enhancement information to Yi Tiancheng, Argo raised his eyebrows at Yi Tiancheng with a sly smile on his face, and continued to smile and say, "Does Mr. Pervert have any other information?" For example, there is metaphysical information about increasing the success rate of reinforcements. ”

"Metaphysics?" Yi Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand disapprovingly, and wrote lightly: "It doesn't exist, I believe that only money is the only real and effective metaphysics in the world." Whether it's card drawing or strengthening, as long as the success rate is not zero, there is a 100% probability in front of absolute money, and the most essential reason for the so-called shipwreck and failure is that Krypton has too little but thinks too much. ”

"......" heard this declaration that every word and every punctuation mark exuded a strong entrenchment, and even the sharp-tongued Argo could not say anything at all.

This is probably the big guy! Argo felt that she would never understand it in her life, because poverty not only limited her imagination, but also limited her various powers.

So, without even saying goodbye, Argo turned and walked away in a boring way.

After sending Argo away, Yi Tiancheng took the three daughters into the blacksmith shop.

When it comes to power-ups, it's definitely a love-hate entrif for any game enthusiast.

Whether it's this game world, even if it's an online game in reality, as long as there is a mechanism set up, players will definitely put their heart and soul into it.

As far as Yi Tiancheng is concerned, from the blacksmith shop in Shabak City in the original "Legend of Blood" to the big-breasted Kelly in the last "Dungeon Warrior", everyone wants to die.

The weapon enhancement system in SAO games is relatively simple compared to other MMORPGs, and the enhancement parameters only have five attributes: sharpness, speed, accuracy, durability and weight; Armor equipment has less sharpness and more defense.

As long as you have the enhancement materials and weapons and equipment to improve the parameters, you can entrust NPCs or forging sub-class players to strengthen them at will.

Of course, SAO, like any other game, has a certain risk of failure, and the so-called 'enhancement is risky, but you must be cautious when entering the furnace' is a warning adage that is true in most games.

Success goes without saying, but if reinforcement fails, there are three outcomes:

The first is that the equipment attributes remain the same, but this time the enhanced materials are lost.

The second is the replacement of enhanced attributes, such as sharpness +1, but it turns out to be agility +1.

The third is that the enhancement is reduced by one notch, and if it was originally +1 to get a flower, it will completely return to its original form, which is also the most unacceptable result.

And there is another point, all kinds of equipment that can be strengthened in the game are set with the attribute of "upper limit of enhancements", which is not the number of successful enhancements, but the number of times that can be strengthened.

For example, the novice weapon sent by entering the game can only be strengthened once, and if it fails, it is considered a failure.

If you continue to strengthen after the maximum number of enhancements has been reached, the weapon will be shattered.

For example, the weapon "Sword of Fortitude" used by Yi Tiancheng can be strengthened up to eight times.

Finally, there is the question of the success rate of reinforcement.

On the one hand, the success rate of equipment enhancement lies in the forging master, and after the forging skill proficiency is cultivated to a certain level, the success rate of strengthening will also increase to a certain extent; On the other hand, it is directly linked to the reinforcement materials, and the more luxurious the materials invested in the enhancement, the higher the success rate.

Walking into the store, a scorching breath instantly hit your face.

In the store, it is divided into two areas by the baffle:

On one side is a burning forge table, where a burly middle-aged blacksmith is working.

On the other side is the counter, with a lot of weapons and equipment on the three walls and counters, and an elderly man sits on the counter to wipe weapons.

"Good evening."

Walking into the store, Yi Tiancheng greeted the boss sitting at the counter.

"Good evening, welcome, do you want to buy something, or do you want to maintain weapons?"

If it weren't for the unique logo, I'm afraid it would be difficult to distinguish the boundary between players and NPCs, even those who were in the closed beta, because after optimization and maintenance, the intelligence level of the current game NPCs is simply different from the inside.

After listening to the boss's inquiry, Yuki took off the 'Sword of Fortitude' from his waist for the first time, then picked it up with both hands and put it on the counter, and couldn't wait to say: "Grandpa, I want to strengthen the weapon, the attributes must be sharp and fast, help me strengthen it~!" ”

SAO's weapon enhancement materials are divided into two categories: "basic materials" and "additional materials".

The "basic material" is fixed and essential, while the "added material" is arbitrary, and the number of "added materials" used will determine the attribute type and success rate of the enhancement.

For sword weapon enhancements, 'sharpness' is a must-have attribute, and several other items are subject to discretion.

Compared to Yuki, she is too cumbersome to use the "Sword of Fortitude" due to her petite size, so Yi Tiancheng suggested that she add the 'speed' attribute.

And Yi Tiancheng himself, as well as the 冾子 used, because he opened the 'autonomous combat' system, so he pursued the 'sharpness' of increasing attack power.

As for Asuna, who wields a rapier, in addition to the 'Sharp' attribute, the 'Precision' attribute is the best choice, which can once again increase their weak point hit rate.

Under the guidance of the old man, the five of them came to the other side of the shop, that is, the forging table.

The man in charge of strengthening them was the burly middle-aged strong man with a bare upper body.

The materials needed for strengthening can be purchased directly from the blacksmith shop, and for Yi Tiancheng, who is inhumane in the trench, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Yuki took the lead in activating the menu window, and under the guidance of Yi Tiancheng, he purchased the additional materials needed for the enhancement, and then handed them to the blacksmith along with the weapon.

After reconfirming, the blacksmith put in the prepared materials one by one without saying a word, and began smelting.

Soon, the reinforcement material was burned red, and the fire inside the furnace was dyed blue, which is the color that indicates the 'speed' attribute.

When the preparation is complete, the stored 'Sword of Fortitude' is pulled out of the scabbard and placed horizontally into the furnace that resembles a fire bowl.

The cyan flames immediately enveloped the blade of the sword, and in a short time the blade of the sword emitted a pale blue light.

Immediately, after the smelting was complete, the blacksmith moved the sword to the anvil, took the forging hammer in his right hand, and raised it high.

Hammer after hammer, striking on the blade of the sword.

Clang! Clang! The sound of metal striking resounded throughout the blacksmith's shop, and with each strike, sparks flew on the anvil.

Yuki held his breath, nervously clenched his hands into fists, clenched them in front of his chest, his round eyes looked at the hammer swinging up and down without blinking, and the silly hair on the top of his head also rose and fell up and down, it was really cute and hopeless.

Unlike manufacturing, the number of blows necessary to strengthen is only ten.

When the hammer struck the blade with a solid rhythm, from one to ten, all finished, the iron sword on the anvil glowed dazzlingly.

After a wonderful, clear metallic sound, the reinforcement was complete.

"It worked! Oh yes! ”

Getting the prompt of the system window, Yuji suddenly jumped up, and then started from Yi Tiancheng beside him with a happy face, clapping his hands and high-fives one by one to show his happiness.

This has become a routine, even Yi Tiancheng is no exception, calmly cooperating with Lori's little interest, and even Asuna has begun to get used to Yuki's ridiculous way of celebrating.

When I took over the weapon again, it was shown as a new status of "Sword of Forbearance +1".

After a good start, Yuki immediately started the second reinforcement, and this time the reinforcement was still successful.

But then, it seemed that his luck ran out, and he failed twice in a row, one of which also turned the original "speed" attribute into a "durability" attribute, which made Yuki instantly bitter and unhappy.

The last reinforcement,Asuna helped her carry out.,I don't know if it has the effect of the heroine's aura.,This time the reinforcement was successful.。

Holding the +3 Sword of Temperance, Yuki immediately turned cloudy and smiled with satisfaction.

Next is Tsumiko, who succeeded four times out of five enhancements, but the one that failed directly triggered the worst downshift, and Yuki was all +3 as a result.

In the end, Asuna and Yi Tiancheng remained.

"You come first!" Yi Tiancheng touched the tip of his nose and motioned for Asuna to strengthen it first, he wanted to see if the heroine's aura was really effective.

As a result, Ben Zina is not a loss.

Asuna came to a grand slam on the spot, and all five enhancements were successful, stunned the audience.

"Wow! Sister Asuna is amazing! Yuki's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Well, it's luck, probably." Asuna held her beloved thin sword, and the corners of her mouth raised a rare arc.

"Brother Yi Tiancheng, hurry up, hurry up, you're left alone." As he spoke, Yuki clenched his fists, waved at Yi Tiancheng, and puffed up: "Come on, strive to be like Sister Asuna, all successful." ”

"Well...... Yi Tiancheng rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers, turned his head to look at Asuna beside him, and immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Asuna, I have decided to give you an important task." ”

"Huh?" Asuna was stunned, and subconsciously asked in confusion, not reacting to what Yi Tiancheng meant.

"You can help me strengthen it." Yi Tiancheng raised his hand and patted the girl's shoulder, with an expression of staring at the European Emperor, and his tone was firm and unquestionable: "I have already seen that you are the legendary red-handed goddess, and it must be right for you to help me strengthen it." ”

"This ......" Yi Tiancheng's actions made Asuna a little overwhelmed.

"Well, dumb tape, I trust you." Coupled with the previous time to help Yuji strengthen, a total of six times of strengthening were all successful, if there was no heroine's aura bonus, Yi Tiancheng didn't believe it.

Without further ado, Yi Tiancheng directly popped up the menu and transferred all the purchased materials and equipment to Asuna.

"Come on! My Exclusive RBQ Girl! ”
