Chapter 208: Peculiarity
With Shangguan Bingxue leaving, the workshop fell silent again, leaving only Bai Ze and Linglong.
"What do you think of this greatsword?" Bai Ze carefully put down the Blazing Scale Greatsword and asked. The last thing he wanted to do was self-destruct his workplace. After all, the weight behind the weapon is no joke.
"Not bad." Linglong nodded calmly. She was touching the hilt of the greatsword, the details and information of the weapon flashing through her retina.
"What level of forging skills are you now?"
"My forging skill is unranked passive skill level 3, and I want to upgrade to level 4...... This says I need to craft another piece of Tier 1 gear. ”
"Oh? It's not bad, you're only level 3 in forging, and you can actually create a first-order weapon. Linglong praised honestly.
"First order? It's the first time I've seen anything like this. Bai Ze was quite puzzled by this, so he could only ask her.
"As you know, the treasures you obtain, such as your Xuanyuan Sword, are all treasures that the soul recruits to interpret with part of the soul power of the enemies you defeated." Linglong played with the giant sword like a toy and explained calmly. "Do you know why these treasures increase stats and some other advantages, but don't increase actual attack damage?"
Bai Ze nodded naturally, "Of course I know." Treasures are created with soul power, and equipment will naturally increase attributes. ”
How can a being get attribute data? Absorb soul power. Treasures are soul power in the form of matter, and it is natural to increase attributes.
Bai Ze's Xuanyuan Sword, Cai Jingyi's Defeated Gold Dagger, Shangguan Bingxue's Wand...... These are all examples.
Linglong continued to explain slowly: "Items made of precious materials are divided into levels, the first order is naturally the lowest, and the highest level is unknown, but due to the difficulty of crafting, only a few seventh-order items have appeared so far. ”
"Oh? Aside from forging skills, are there any other effects? ”
"Absolutely." Linglong nodded earnestly. "In the creation of any object, in addition to the forging skill, the level of the object will be affected by different factors."
"To forge a first-order item, you usually need to have a first-order forging skill, and your situation is special because of your supernatural mana and magic, so you are able to strengthen the tools you use while forging materials."
"The grade of an item is also affected by the materials used. If you use the bones of an unranked monster, you can't expect to be able to forge a second-order thing, let alone a third-order thing. ”
Bai Ze nodded in agreement. Materials are naturally important. If it weren't for the precious scales of the first-order beast, he would never have been able to make a better weapon than the Blazing Scale Greatsword.
"Also...... There is one more thing that affects the level of the item. Linglong sighed.
"What else?" He hurriedly asked. Linglong's sigh made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.
"Magic runes." She revealed. "There is a skill called Rune Blessing, this skill is only a first-order skill, and it can't even evolve, but it's a pity that it's very rare and can only be obtained by those who are particularly lucky. If a person learns this skill by accident and gets a book of runes, after careful study, that person can engrave different kinds of runes on weapons or other items to increase their power and highlight their particularity. ”
Bai Ze's head began to hurt. And this kind of thing...
But Linglong wasn't done yet.
"You've seen the special features of this Blazing Greatsword, right?" She asked with a smile.
Bai Ze nodded. Indeed, his Blazing Scales Greatsword has the particularity of a fire type.
"That special trait was only your luck that appeared, thanks to the fact that there was still some fire-like energy left on the scales of that first-order flame snake. However, if you have a rune blessing skill, this attribute may be even more. ”
This was Bai Ze's first encounter with objects made of precious materials, so every word Linglong said was fresh to him. Even so, he listened carefully to everything Linglong said and did not want to miss a single detail.
After chatting for more than thirty minutes, Linglong finally shrugged her shoulders and exclaimed, "I said it, this giant sword is undoubtedly great, hehe...... Even if it's a first-order weapon, it's close to the top. You should be proud of yourself. ”
Bai Ze smiled slightly and did not comment. Although he is proud, he still has a long way to go. Crafting equipment is another way to become stronger, and his forging skills must not be left behind. The higher the level of items he can create, the more power he can use.
If only I could get the blessing of runes...... Bai Ze sighed, but quickly dispelled the thought. It is difficult to find it deliberately to find it, and only fate is willing to bring it to him.
"Didn't you say you'd be going to make armor next?"
"Yes......" Bai Ze frowned and pointed quietly. There's no doubt that my trench coat is a treasure...... But no matter what, ordinary sharp weapons can't break through my trench coat, and ordinary bullets don't pose any threat to me. Aside from +5 for all stats, I don't get as much of a boost as I used to, so I think it would be nice to replace it with armor. ”
The trench coat protects him from small-caliber bullets, but Shirasaw's bronze skin passive skill also provides him with that protection. While it is true that penetrating bullets can injure and even threaten him, a trench coat cannot protect him from such ammunition.
Although the windbreaker's full attribute +5 is indeed remarkable, for the current Bai Ze, it is not a big deal to subtract 5 points from a single item. He would rather pass on this treasure to someone like Fu Xuefeng or Zhong De, who would both benefit more from it.
The higher Bai Ze's level, the more levels there are between each level, and the smaller the difference in attributes between levels. If it's in the face of the existence of his ability, that's fine; But in the face of more powerful beings, that little bit of soul power can't do anything at all.
