Chapter 5: Strengthening (I)
When I returned from the West End, it was almost noon.
Back at the villa, only tenderness was found.
"What about them?" asked Shen Yi.
Wen Rou was negotiating a deal with someone, and replied without raising his head: "The fat man and Yi Yu went to Independence Island to preside over the island merger and related protection systems, King Kong went to the low-difficulty area to preside over the sale of low-level equipment, and I stayed at the trading platform to negotiate the sale." Langqiu went to find the fusion potion material. ”
The bloodline of the flood wave is extremely powerful, but the consumption is incredibly high.
Shen Yi's bloodline transforms into a few seconds, but Hong Lang is ten points a second, the gap is too big, not to mention the activation consumption. Even if the fused bloodline is much stronger than the Holy Dragon bloodline, there shouldn't be such a gap.
The main reason for this is that he is fused together by two incompatible bloodlines, and the reserved skill is specified, resulting in the bloodline consumption being several times higher than the normal consumption.
The fusion of the temple is only responsible for processing, not follow-up services, so this work is actually not done.
Fortunately, Jade Bird has a good relationship with them, and has given a solution, which is to further strengthen the fusion characteristics of the two bloodlines with fusion elixirs, which are somewhat similar to Perfect Blood, and there is no finished product, so they can only be made by collecting materials by themselves. Once successful, the bloodline consumption does not dare to return to normal, and it is no problem to reduce the consumption by half.
The materials are not expensive, but they are difficult to find, so Hong Lang is now looking for materials all over the world.
Hearing the reply, Shen Yi said: "There is no urgency about the materials for the time being, let them come back first, and design the strengthening plan first." ”
After obtaining the complete information of the five difficulties, Shen Yi finally decided to start strengthening. The enhancement of up to 8 million points does not mean that it can be used indiscriminately, but it should be more careful, so the first thing is to recall everyone and hold a meeting on the enhancement plan to discuss and design.
How to make good use of the remaining 7.7 million points has become a science.
The world overview of the five difficulties is actually in line with the current situation of the Broken Blade Team, at least in terms of structure construction, Shen Yi, who has summoned soldiers and the second legion, is one step ahead of any adventurer.
Because of this, Shen Yi can minimize the cost of basic preparation for the construction of the five-difficulty territory, and in addition, the Great Universe Plan has entered the final stage, and the supplementary investment required has also been greatly reduced.
In these two aspects, Shen Yi is expected to keep 700,000 activity funds, which is enough.
In other words, the available funds for this enhancement are as high as seven million.
It's exciting news for everyone – there's finally no need to throw your hard-earned money into the bottomless pit.
However, that doesn't mean they have enough points.
Although the Broken Blades team makes a lot of money, there are also a lot of places to spend money.
The most expensive part of it is the damage reduction in Shen Yi's plan.
The battle with Sargeras fully demonstrated the importance of damage reduction, in the face of thousands of powerful attacks from bosses, defense alone is far from enough, and damage reduction must be increased.
And to bless the damage weakening, you can't do it by owning it directly. Equipment with damage weakened by fifteen percent is superb, and Shen Yi had so many pieces of equipment in his hands at the beginning, but he didn't find a single one that was fifteen percent, so you can imagine its value.
Therefore, if you want to get a higher level of damage and weaken, you have to smash!
Smash with a hammer of forging!
The Hammer of Forges isn't cost-effective for improving stats, but it's the only way to break the fifteen percent limit.
Take 10% equipment as an example, if you want to smash 30% damage weakening, you need to smash 15 pieces of equipment with 10% damage weakening. The more high-end the equipment, the higher the chance of appearing and the more expensive it is.
And the damage reduction obtained in this way does not include the mental damage reduction.
Although the mental damage weakening is only a single item, it is less common than the full weakening, Shen Yi and they have also received some full weakening before, but the mental damage weakening has almost never been seen, and the price is not higher than the total weakening, the key is that there is no market.
If an adventurer wants to reach 30 percent of both at the same time, he needs to smash 30 pieces of equipment, and if he calculates 40,000 pieces, he will need 1.2 million, and five people will be 6 million - Zhou Yiyu was ignored.
Even the Broken Blades can't afford it, let alone the money you don't have to buy that much equipment.
Finally, I finally came up with a solution.
You can't weaken it all, so let's weaken it selectively.
The adventurer's threat to the Broken Blade team is mainly skill, the threat of the Super Hive is mainly melee normal attacks, and the threat of Juggernaut is mainly mental attacks.
In this case, it is better to selectively strengthen all three, as it is better to fully weaken, because total weakening does not include psychic attacks.
There are five major items in the single weakening of the bloody city: ranged, melee, skill, spirit, and curse, and there is no special weakening of the elemental class, which is estimated to be related to its stability attack, and it is not allowed to weaken.
If fifteen percent of the total damage nerf is hard to find, fifteen percent of the individual nerf is much easier to find, of course, this is also relative.
Among them, skill damage is the easiest to weaken, directly smashing the mirror armor.
The Spiegel has a fifteen percent skill reduction effect, and there are 100 pieces.
Originally, the purpose of getting the mirror armor was to improve the soldiers, but now with the God of War mecha, the soldiers' demand for the mirror armor has also decreased.
The other two can only be bought.
Therefore, Shen Yi unceremoniously picked up the hammer and smashed it, adding seven three percent in a row, and a piece of mirror armor was directly increased to thirty-six percent of the skill weakening, and then raised to A-level plus defense.
A total of five pieces of strengthened mirror armor were created, which were worn by King Kong, Fat Man, Zhao Linger, Serena and Michelle.
King Kong is because he can't wear other equipment after wearing the Eternal Holy Clothes, so he can only give up, but fortunately, it is also a good piece of equipment, and it can be sold for a good price, so he finally didn't give it to Zhou Yiyu again.
The fat man gave the guardian suit to Hong Lang.
This is because the Guardian set doesn't need to be extra-extra, and the stats you get by leveling up are better.
The guardian set originally had three nerves of melee, ranged and skill, and every time you advance to two levels, it is a five-percent nerf addition.
It's only C-rank now, and if you get promoted to S-rank, you can increase it to 25% of long-range damage and skill reduction, so you just need to smash him with some mental damage weakening.
In addition, the set effect has been enhanced.
The special effect bonus for all set components remains 5%.
Set Action Skill Immobility: Increases defense by 100% while standing still, reduces damage by 20%, lasts for one minute, and the effect disappears after moving.
Set Passive Skill Source of Life: Increases HP by 5 per CON point.
Problem: There are many other attributes that come with this upgrade method.
For example, when the Guardian Boots are upgraded to S Rank, the movement speed is increased to 25%.
But why does the fat man want this speed?
No matter how high his life is, how many people will beat him?
Now that the fat man's positioning has been transformed from a meat shield to an aura assist and a life-saving one, the guardian suit with strong survivability is no longer suitable for him.
In the past, the level of guarding the set was low, so everyone would forget it, and the equipment of the fat man was too ugly.
But this time everyone has learned about the terrifying strength of the Zerg, every bit of combat power needs to be calculated, and after the guardian set is promoted, it is really a waste to give it to the fat man, so after discussion, it was finally given to Hong Lang.
Fortunately, the fat man "understands the righteousness" and directly nods and accepts. Of course, the blackmail has to be blackmailed, Hong Lang promised to go back and invite the fat man to go to the bar 3P from his pocket money.
The fat man thought that Hong Lang was too stingy, and counteroffered to 5P, two nights.
Deal!
The difference in price between the Upgrade Guardian Set and the Upgrade Guardian Set is 45,000, but since the upgrade scroll is a rare item, there is an additional premium to be paid to purchase it, so the total cost of the four full liters is 300,000. But after completing the enhancement, the Broken Blade team finally has a full S-level suit, which can be called an artifact suit.
Gentleness is a bit more troublesome.
Her Dark Set has a curse nerf and rune enhancements, but no other enhancements other than runes are acceptable, not even the Hammer of Forge.
Considering that the future battlefield will still require abilities such as the dark transformation of the Dark Set, it was finally decided to keep this equipment and find runes that can increase damage and weaken instead.
The dark five-piece set requires the use of five sets of runes, and the Broken Blade team is also looking for help all over the world, and in the end, it was Ye Jiguang who helped to contact him, and finally gathered five sets of runes.
Rune Barrier: Weakens the total damage by 5%, and increases the rune enhancement bonus by an additional 1%.
Rune Harmony: Reduces mental damage by 5%, and increases rune enhancement bonus by an additional 1%.
Rune Tenacity: Reduces melee damage by 15% and increases rune enhancement bonus by an additional 3%.
Rune Rift: Weakens skill damage by 15%, and increases rune enhancement bonus by an additional 3%.
Among them, there are two sets of barrier runes, which are equivalent to a total weakening of 30%.
Considering that this damage reduction is still relatively low, simply upgrade the Dark Set to Double S level.
It's a pity that even if the dark suit is upgraded to the double S level, the increase in defense is limited, but on the contrary, the skill effect has become more powerful.
Dark Helmet: Provides 24 defense and effect 1 ignores darkness. Effect 2: Break the Concealment, priority 80.
Dark Armor: Provides 60 defense, and the special effect weakens the curse: Inflicts a 15% to 45% weakening on all curses, depending on the opponent's skill priority.
Dark Gauntlet: Provides 24 defense, special effect Dark Transformation: Converts the target killed into a dark minion, driven by the user to fight, and exists for 15 minutes.
Cloak of Darkness: Provides 48 defense, special effect Dark Acceleration: Reduces the cooldown of all dark skills by 25%.
Dark Boots: Provides 24 defense, special effect Dark Walk: Acts in the dark and automatically becomes invisible.
Set Combo Effect 1: The user attacks the target with an eternal curse effect, causing the target to deal an additional 10% more damage when taking any attack. When encountering a dark curse attack, the effect is further enhanced according to the priority and the opponent's will, and the effect lasts for 3 seconds.
Set Combination Effect 2: Enhancement is given to all the equipment that comes with it, and the priority of the Dark Helmet Breaking Effect is doubled. Weaken the curse deals between thirty and ninety percent of the curse nerf. Darkness conversion time increased to 45 minutes. Reduced Dark Speed Boost cooldown to 50%, and Sneak in the Dark increases movement speed by 30%.
Set Combo Effect 3 Rune Enhancement: When using Runestone Enhancement, the effect is increased by an additional 40%. However, it is no longer possible to withstand other enhancements other than promotion.
The last point is a sight to behold.
In this way, the thirty percent damage reduction becomes thirty-five percent.
Shen Yi bought himself an S-level Demon Dragon Combat Boots, with a 12% reduction in damage and 40% in defense, which can be regarded as superb. He's already weakened by all the damage, so he's just going all the way to the end.
After smashing seven more pieces of 5% equipment, the Demon Dragon Boots were increased to the point of 19% damage reduction, and with the 16% of the Demon God Armor, it was also 35%.
In the end, Shen Yi found a dodge boot for King Kong and the fat man.
Dodge Boots: Melee damage reduced by 36%, defense by 20, speed increased by 5%. (Hammer of Forge)
In this way, the weakening of melee and skill damage has been improved a lot, although the strength against the brood is still not enough, but it will naturally be further and slowly improved in the future.
What is really difficult is the weakening of mental damage.
This thing is less than all weakened, and the occasional appearance is all five percent of the attributes, and ten percent is the best.
The Broken Blade team searched for three days in the whole city to find a set of runes, and only found three pieces of equipment with weakened mental damage, not to mention smashing it, and the points were not enough.
In the end, there was no way, and it took another sum of money to find the temple before exchanging a batch of equipment with mental damage weakening attributes.
Helm of the Ming King: Mental damage is reduced by 10% (including the Hammer of Forging bonus 5 times), and the defense is 28.
There are two such Ming Wang helmets, one for King Kong and one for the fat man.
The rest of them gave Shen Yi's Witch King Helmet and Hong Lang's equipment five percent of each spiritual damage weakening.
It cost a lot of money to complete all this equipment enhancement, two suit upgrades, five sets of runes, magic dragon combat boots, dodge boots, more than ten pieces of melee damage weakening equipment, and more than 20 pieces of spiritual damage weakening equipment were sold at sky-high prices, and in the end it cost about 2.5 million, not counting half of the mirror armor.
In exchange, the average damage reduction per person is about 30 to 35 percent and 5 to 10 percent mental damage reduction.
One-third of the damage reduction does not satisfy Shen Yi, after all, the opponent he will face in the future is too terrifying, and if he is not equipped enough, he can only start with skills, first of all, the problem of skill arrangement.
The skills of the Broken Blade team have long wanted to be adjusted, but they have never had a chance, and now with the skill transfer, they can finally change it.
The first one to be replaced is Shen Yi's Death Gaze, this skill is obviously more suitable for King Kong, because his Death Fist can increase the probability of success, and when used in Death Gaze, it lowers the judgment standard and has a wider range of applications.
But King Kong's skills are full.,He chose to let out the finger of emptiness.,This skill is actually good.,It can hurt the enemy and weaken the enemy's damage.,It's just that King Kong is mainly control.,It's always been about control.,Don't pursue damage when fighting.,So it didn't really play its effect.。
As a result, the Finger of Emptiness was transferred to Michelle using a low-level scroll, and Michelle was idle anyway, so he practiced this skill and leveled up if he had nothing to do.
Zhou Yiyu's Demon Blessing Body and Second Strike don't want it anymore.
At first, he was characterized as an auxiliary, and later decided to develop all the machines, and these two skills have not played a big role in fact.
It stands to reason that this skill is the most suitable for gentleness, but she didn't want to learn it at the beginning of the extreme acceleration, and it was even more impossible to learn the Demon Blessing Body and the Second Strike.
Gentleness now has only one empty slot left in the skill column, so naturally you have to learn the strongest one, not one that is used to assist. After all, they are now on the fifth difficulty, and the Blood Queen of the fourth difficulty is unable to fight, even if they buy expansion scrolls, they will be at a high price.
In the end, the Demon Blessing Body was given to Michelle, and Michelle's unicorn could enjoy the Demon Blessing Body bonus as soon as it came out, which was much better than Zhou Yiyu having the Demon Blessing Body but not summoning the beast.
The second blow was given to Zhao Ling'er, Zhao Ling'er has not been strengthened since following everyone, she is an auxiliary positioning, and she is strong, so it is appropriate to learn this.
However, although the skill of the second strike is an auxiliary but very important, so the high-level transfer is used to maintain the level, and the demon blessing body does not matter, Zhou Yiyu has not practiced this skill much, and the level itself is not high.
The fat man also has something he doesn't want, which is the reflection wave that he specially learned for the hegemony of the four clans.
But in the absence of enough mental damage to weaken, this skill is very important, Shen Yi must stay, and it must be mastered by someone with enough survivability.
Since the fat man didn't want it, he finally chose Zhao Ling'er after looking for it.
At the beginning, the Broken Blade team searched all over the world for assistance, but in the end, they didn't find a suitable adventurer, but Zhao Linger really started the all-round assistance process.
Due to Zhao Ling'er's relatively high starting point, the skills that can be learned are five from the beginning, so Shen Yi plans to find three more skills for Zhao Ling'er later.
Usually assisted, and it is also quite good to transform into a magnifying move at a critical moment.
As for the skills vacated by the fat man, Shen Yi was ready to let this guy learn another defensive shield skill. The dead fat man has no other skills, but at the critical moment, a mask is superb, unmatched, and a few more shield skills will only further exert his advantages.
For this reason, Shen Yi asked him to transfer the guardian fortress to Serena, anyway, the fat man's meat shield was not qualified, and the number of beatings was too few. The reason why she transferred to Serena was because the home world was about to collapse, and Serena would have to join the Broken Blade team sooner or later, and she needed to improve her strength. Although she has always been in the home world, it is not easy for this woman to work hard for Shen Yi and be a behind-the-scenes hero.
With the Spiegel Armor and the Guardian Fortress, combined with the vampire's blood-sucking attacks, Serena's survivability is at least guaranteed.
In this way, the fat man can learn two shield skills.
Shen Yi chose the Frost Shield and the Flame Barrier for the fat man.
Double S Frost Shield: Creates a Frost Shield on the user, with 12 defense, 1200 armor value, 6 mental power, one minute duration, and fifteen second cooldown. Melee attack shields slow attackers by 5%. Increases armor by 300 by one level, up to three levels.
The power of this shield is actually very average, whether it is defense or vitality, I am sorry for its double S-level evaluation, and even a five-percent slowdown is just that, and adventurers with high will can completely resist this level of slowdown. But one of the biggest benefits of it is that the cooldown time is super short.
As a shield protection skill, there is nothing more important than a short cooldown, which means that the user can release it continuously, and the mental cost of this skill is not high.
The fat man's shield is used to see the right time to throw the shield when his own people are most dangerous, and after blocking the deadly attack, the attacker will recover by pulling the distance. The armor of 1200 HP is low, but it is enough to make most critical damage less lethal.
The ultra-short cooling effect of the Frost Shield greatly improves the fat man's ability, and he no longer needs to pinch the mental power shield as he used to do.
Double S Fire Barrier: Creates a Fire Barrier effect on the user, causing the target to be surrounded by flames, weakening and reflecting 20% of attack damage. Consumes 6 mental power, lasts one minute, and has a cooldown of three minutes. Increases the effect by 5% by 1 level, up to a maximum of 3 levels.
This skill is aimed at the bonus effect of the Flame Sword, and with the bonus of the Flame Sword, the effective time of the Flame Barrier can be extended to one and a half minutes.
The existing damage weakening skills include Fire Barrier, Nether Shield, and Rock Armor, but both Nether Shield and Rock Armor can only be used on oneself and cannot save people. So Shen Yi decided to find two more melee weakening skills.
Skill Immunity Aura: 5% melee weakening, 1% effect increased by 1% for each level, up to 6 levels, permanently bringed.
Shen Yi directly purchased the skill improvement scroll, and let the fat man raise this aura to the highest level, and with the aura enhancement, it can also increase the effect by an additional one percent.
Shen Yi actually wanted Augusta's Vajra body at the beginning, up to 60% of all weakened, which was very good, but this skill can only be used on himself, and the cooldown time is as long as 20 minutes, and it is also a special skill, and the purchase price is higher.
So after picking and choosing, I finally chose the skill of exempt aura.
These three skills, plus a batch of skill transfer scrolls, cost another 200,000.
However, in terms of mental power damage weakening, Shen Yi really couldn't help it.
This thing is not only less equipped, but also has few skills, it is pitifully few, it is not enough to rely on reflected waves, and Zhou Yiyu's energy armor can only act on the mechanical body.
Shen Yi has seen the mental impact of the master one after another, not to mention the headshots, they are continuous, these two alone are not enough.
The best way to fight a mental attack is to have enough will.
At the beginning of the thirty-sixth layer of hell, Shen Yi used the Heavenly Demon Combination/Body and the Reshaping Stone, and his own will was strengthened by the effect, so he could barely withstand the spiritual attack of the master, according to this calculation, without about eight hundred wills, don't expect to be able to resist the master.
Using the Rejuvenation Elixir can increase the will effect, which also requires about 400 will.
In other words, in the next few days, they don't have to expect anything in the wilderness, just get spring water to play, and in addition, they have to raise everyone's will to about 400 points to be considered a safety line.
Considering that the Juggernaut is also getting stronger, if the Hell Consciousness is indeed an extension of the Juggernaut Consciousness, then this contact is likely to stimulate the Juggernaut to further strengthen its psychic shock power.
So this may not be enough, but I can only save it for later.
In order to further ensure safety, Shen Yi also used special points to purchase a Mental Resistance and a Will Chain skill in the secret shop. Since there are more than 60,000 special points in total, you can only buy low-level ones first, and then upgrade them to high-level ones respectively.
A-level skill mental resistance: After use, the target temporarily gains five percent mental resistance, which lasts for one minute, has a cooldown of ten seconds, and consumes 12 mental power, which can be stacked up to three times. Resistance is increased by one percent for each level, up to a maximum of six levels.
B-level skill Will Chain: Connect multiple targets, when any target encounters a mental attack, the damage can be shared among multiple targets, each additional target increases the damage by an additional five percent, the maximum number of connections is seven, the duration is three minutes, the cooldown is ten minutes, and the mental power is consumed by 15 points.
That is, if it is apportioned to two people, it is 55 percent of the damage, and if it is distributed to four or five people, it is 40 percent of the damage. Reduces the damage bonus by one percent for each level of increase, up to a maximum of six levels.
These two skills were learned by Zhao Ling'er.
The next thing to do is to buy the exercise book to improve the attributes.
First, he bought a small part of the attributes with the blood points, and after reaching the indicator line, Shen Yi bought the exercise book to improve the will and the exercise book to improve all attributes.
After these two attribute exercises, plus the previous Wuji Heart Sutra, all of them were directly promoted to the top level with the inner dan, and the remaining ten or so inner pills were not enough, so they could only find the M7 Shi Mumu and others who were assigned to the inner pill to buy some back.
As for the attribute exercises such as the Dragon Transformation True Sutra and the Shenwu Heart Sutra that he learned earlier, because he had already practiced half of it, he used the Inner Dan to improve the waste, so he directly entered the top arena of the five difficulties, spent money to open the double speed mode for cultivation, and with the support of high will, all of them were promoted to the top in a short period of time.
In this way, everyone's attributes become:
Shen Yi: Strength 310, Physique 320, Agility 260, Spirit 300, Will 400.
Flood Wave: Strength 350, Constitution 350, Agility 250, Spirit 180, Will 400.
Gentleness: Strength 250, Constitution 280, Agility 340, Spirit 250, Will 400.
Luo Hao: Strength 230, Physique 250, Agility 200, Spirit 200, Will 400.
Vajra: Strength 300, Constitution 300, Agility 260, Spirit 250, Will 400.
Zhou Yiyu: Strength 230, Physique 250, Agility 220, Spirit 200, Willpower 400.
After some tossing, another 2.7 million was thrown out.
The budget of seven million was used up by five million and four hundred thousand in the blink of an eye.
