When a weapon maker reaches level 24, he can start to learn the advanced skills of "weapons", which can improve the level and attributes of a weapon to a certain extent.

However, this did not mean that he could easily transform a first-level "notched blunt sword" worth only twenty copper into an invincible dragon slaying blade. Keep in mind that you can't endlessly iterate on improving a weapon, and each weapon has a limit on the number of improvements it can make. For a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron that is only level 1, the biggest expectation we can give it is only to be transformed into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron of level 3, and the cost of transforming it may be higher than if you directly buy a level 3 weapon with mediocre attributes. Only those low-level weapons with good basic attributes can be improved and upgraded to exert greater power.

So, before you decide to improve your weapon, you'd better think about whether it's worth the cost.

When I found the Longbow Shooting Sun, he was standing nervously at a furnace. A large musket almost as long as a man and with a barrel thicker than his arm was placed in front of him - I recognized it at a glance as a powerful long-range attack weapon belonging to the Wild Goose Formation of the Elven Female Animal Tamer. Jiong".

The geese and chords are standing aside, watching the longbow shoot the sun with anticipation. In addition to the two of them, the half-orc shadow thief Yangtze River Delta and the white-clothed swordsman Buddha Xiao had also rushed over after hearing the news.

The Longbow Shooter melts a few parts of metal into a liquid in a furnace, casts it onto a musket with his tools, and taps it lightly with a small ground hammer. Changing the shape of the metal minute by minute. Soon, a warm, dark red glow swirled around the musket, and then quickly faded away, signaling that the improvement of the musket had been completed.

"Huh......" Longbow Shooting Sun breathed a sigh of relief and sent the musket to the front of the wild goose array, "...... I said I was going to help you improve your weapons, and what I promised you is finally done. ”

"Thank you so much!" The geese happily held up "Serra. Jiong", his hands caressed lovingly on the shiny barrel, and his beautiful eyes gleamed with excitement. In euphoria. She seemed to habitually turn her head and smile brightly at the elven marksman, as if she was sharing her joy with the elven man in this way. Xian Ge also had a knowing smile on his face, and nodded at her tacitly.

Between the eyes of the two of them. It was as if a warm flame was burning gently.

The joy of the wild goose position is completely understandable. Under the careful transformation of the longbow shooting sun, the musket "Serra. Jiong's level has been raised to level forty-five--the wild goose array is just right to use--and the power is far greater than before:

Its land attack bonus has been increased to 160, +15 for accuracy, and +120 for health. The 30% knockdown chance has not changed, and the attack speed has been increased by 20%. If there's one drawback, it's that it's lost its previous scatter attack effect, and it can no longer attack in groups. But as we move up the ranks. Enemies are also becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and powerful single attack capabilities are much more affordable than flashy group attack effects.

Musket land weapon stats have been significantly improved. I'm envious of that. The idea of asking the longbow to help me improve my weapon also arose in my heart. But. As a veteran who has successfully received the baptism of the soul of frustration education, the painful experience of grinding a mountain with my own hands and almost accidentally polishing a glass lens made me stop in time: there is always a great deal of instability in this new skill that I have just learned. Until I'm sure enough of the improved skill of Longbow Shooting Sun, I'd better wait and see.

My concerns proved to be very prescient......

Witnessing a serendipitous success often leads people to ignore the potential dangers, and this lack of rational thinking applies not only to many humans, but also to green-skinned, fanged orcs, such as the Yangtze River Delta.

Seeing that the weapons of the wild goose array had been successfully upgraded, the fat half-orc shadow thief suddenly became excited. He approached the longbow with the "Corpse Poison Dagger" affectionately and asked him to help improve the weapon. His face was full of friendly smiles, like a "bright man-eating flower" blooming on his large plate face.

The dwarven weaponmaker did not refuse the request of the Yangtze River Delta, he took a closer look at the dagger, found a lot of high-quality bones from the backpack as needed, and then carefully inlaid it one by one with a tool, and then used his tools to polish the dagger carefully, carving a few fierce lines on the back of the blade. It didn't take long for another dark red flash to light up in the hand of the longbow Shooting Sun, and the modified corpse dagger finally appeared in our expectant gaze.

The shape of the dagger has become more grim and evil, and the grip made of finger bones twisted together like the painful palm of a dying person is imbued with the cold and desperate opulence of postmodern non-mainstream decadence.

Honestly, the improved Corpse Dagger is a real change in appearance, and I would rather think of it as a powerful work of art than a beautiful weapon.

Sadly, that's probably the only thing that's commendable about this improvement.

"Corpse Dagger: Damage +88, Dexterity +19, Health +99, 30% chance to deal two damage in one hit......" is what I see from its stat bar. Does it sound familiar? You're right, all of its main properties are exactly the same as when they were first made, with no changes.

I can't imagine how the longbow shooter, who had just learned the skill of weapon improvement, could have struck such a flawless balance between "plus" and "minus" that everything he had done before would be useless.

And that's far from all.

In "Corpses."

In the additional skill column, I saw something like this: "... Can: Corpse poison. Every 15 minutes, there is a chance to release corpse poison, dealing at least 30 damage to enemies for 30 consecutive seconds, and the user is retaliated by 3 corpse poison......"

If I'm not mistaken, the damage of corpse poison used to be at least 20 per second.:Devour's effect was only 2.

Noticing this only difference in attributes, I suddenly saw the bleak sight of life in the Yangtze River Delta decreasing at a rate of 90 points per second until it was squeezed into a dry corpse - unless L was filled to the point of urine and blood, I would definitely not be able to resist the deadly toss of this suicidal attack.

It was a miracle of utter greatness and stupidity, and I wonder if the great Supreme God had done it with the help of a longbow and his hands to shoot the sun, and that he had done so only to prove that he had reached the point of being so omnipotent that he could make people dumbfounded at all times.

"Long ...... Bow...... Shoot...... ...... Sun," the orc shadow thief gritted his teeth and shouted the name of the dwarven weaponmaker. I can't wait to put this name along with its owner, bite it under the root of my teeth, chew it, lick it and grind it into crumbles to express my indignation:

“…… What do you call it? Weapon improvements? What the hell is this going to be good? ”

"Hmm......" The dwarf stroked his messy red beard and lowered his head for a moment, and finally managed to avoid the weight and lightly hold back an answer: "...... At least the lethality of its Corpse Poison skill has been increased compared to before. ”

"You second-class cripple with your tail on your face, this kind of lethality has been increased, and there is a bird to use! Except that it allows me to die a little faster when I commit suicide. Is there anything else you've done? The answer to the longbow shooting sun is obviously not convincing in any way. In front of this crushing "magical" weapon, the Yangtze River Delta showed obvious signs of mania, he suddenly erupted as if he had swallowed a large amount of gunpowder, and grabbed the collar of the longbow to shoot the sun and shook desperately. He roared angrily at him - he had to fold his belly up and squat down in order to successfully pull the dwarf by the collar.

In the face of the orc's rage, the longbow curled up shyly, and his body, which was not tall, was a little shorter than usual. Aggrievedly, he aligned the index fingers of both hands in front of his chest. Bowing his head, he pleaded pitifully:

“…… It's even more beautiful than it was just now......"

Anger, numbness, disappointment, desolation...... Countless negative emotions surfaced on the face of the Yangtze River Delta at the same time, making his expression look ups and downs, peaks and turns. I have never seen anyone with such a complex expression on their face, which is simply the embodiment of the abstract state of mind of "mixed feelings".

Apparently. He is out of wrath!

Probably the bigger the face. The more expressions you can make, the more you can make, right?

Look at the face of the Yangtze River Delta, which is full of green skin folds and twisted like a big cactus. I thought to myself, and at the same time subconsciously touched my cheek, which was only half his width—no matter what. I can't make such colorful expressions.

……

In order to make up for the loss caused to his friend by his mistakes, Longbow Shooting Sun took the initiative to improve his off-hand weapon for the Yangtze River Delta: a level 25 warhammer "Insidious Hammerman".

For the orc shadow thief who was about to break through level fifty, the level of this warhammer was really a little pitiful. However, the Shadow Thieves rely more on their powerful traps in combat, and are more adept at using right-handed daggers and daggers even in hand-to-hand combat. The reason why the Yangtze River Delta still uses this low-level warhammer is mainly because of its additional 5% strike rate - when you fight a shadow thief, you will understand: a brief fainting can often mean a powerful trap and a stealthy opponent, and either of these can be the cause of your death.

Because the level of the weapon itself is not high, the Yangtze River Delta agreed without much hesitation. It seems that his heart has seriously opened: it is not a valuable thing anyway, how bad can it be if it is changed?

As with the previous two times, the longbow shot the sun dutifully did its job. After a bright light lit up, a "sinister percussioner" that had been reborn appeared on the scene.

Attack +120 Fighting Energy +100, 15% Stun Chance, Attack Speed +10%...... When I first saw the attributes of this warhammer, a suffocating palpitation flowed through my heart: this warhammer ground attribute had been raised to a dizzying level, and its all-important stun attribute had not disappeared. And the attack power has also been greatly strengthened.

Faced with such a feared "murder weapon in the world", even the most discerning person could only salivate and say with envy on his face, "Wow......" I have even started to think about relearning the skill of the warhammer - if this warhammer belongs to me.

At this moment, everyone present sincerely felt that the Yangtze River Delta was really shit luck at this moment.

However, he himself does not seem to think so.

"Can't you short-legged garbage maker make something really useful?" The Yangtze River Delta grabbed the complacent red-bearded dwarf, picked up the newly improved war hammer, gritted his teeth, and slammed it the top of his head, looking like he wanted to knock the dwarf's head into his stomach.

"Live...... Stop it! What are you doing! The attributes of this hammer can only be so strong, what do you want me to do? Longbow Shooter struggled with all his might, flailing his arms helplessly. He asked loudly, interspersed with a "thump" sound from his skull.

"You're a big-headed ghost! This thing has only a little durability, you call it a 'weapon'? I'm smacking! The fly swatter is stronger than it...... "The Yangtze River Delta knocked on it coolly, and suddenly his hand was light. The glittering warhammer suddenly faded from its brilliance and turned into a badly rusted and tattered lump of pig iron

The attribute is instantly cleared.

Longbow Shot Sun managed to escape from the furious revenge of the Yangtze River Delta, but he looked a lot shorter—his neck was noticeably shorter.

Listened to the words of the Yangtze River Delta. That's when we looked at it again. Sure enough, in the corner of the weapon attribute bar, which is easily overlooked, there is such a bleak and poignant line of text:

"Durability 0/1"!

After just a few gentle blows, the hammer was completely scrapped.

Although the Yangtze River Delta has already seen the results of the outrageous weapon improvement of the longbow shooting the sun. I am also fully mentally prepared, but at this moment, no matter what happens, I can accept it calmly. But the longbow shoots the sun and improves the ability to improve is too mysterious. So much so that no matter how well prepared you are. There is always a way for him to easily break through your psychological bottom line. Push you to the brink of collapse in one fell swoop.

For example, right now, it's one thing to feel like you're facing a pile of useless broken brass and iron, but it's one thing to be unusable in the face of a superb weapon with outstanding attributes. That feeling in my heart is another matter......

Looking at the suicide dagger in his hand, which was always ready to take his life, and the warhammer, which had amazing attributes but was always ready to strike, the deep eyes of the half-orc shadow thief finally moistened.

He learned one thing deeply:

Belch...... Today probably isn't his lucky day......

A space-wading person once said to me such a profound philosophical sentence: Life is full of unknown sorrows, and you never know which foot will step on the poop.

Now, the Yangtze River Delta has stepped on two feet in a row, and uses his personal experience to verify the subtlety and profundity of the word "impermanence in the world", which can be called bitterness on top of suffering.

……

Until now, none of us know what kind of law the improvement results of the weapons manufacturers followed. Above that dark void, the fingers of the gods are plucking the strings of fate of man, presenting this mysterious ending before the eyes of mortals.

Could it be ......

Could it be that after all the categories of knowledge that we know, after all the truths that science and magic can reach, after all the surfaces of this world that our eyes can reach, the divine will of the gods has always been entrenched in the head of every insignificant life, and it has decided our fate with another vast and complex system!

This huge system in which divine will determines fate is called "character problem".

How to measure and count the hidden attribute of "character" is probably a secret shared by the gods, and it belongs to the mystery that can never be solved in this world.

Through field observations, the only thing I can be sure of is that the character value of the Yangtze River Delta seems to be not very good......

For the exemplary work of two straw bale weapons, every glance in the Yangtze River Delta seemed to see through the vicissitudes of red dust, and in just a short moment, this bloated half-orc shadow thief looked much haggard.

"I've got a little bit of a problem, so I'm going offline......" he said disheartenedly.

"It's just noon, what are you doing so early?" The nerves of the longbow shoot the sun seem to be thicker than the thighs, and at this time, they can still ask such a question that they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

"I went to a psychiatrist and asked what to do with reactive depression after a major blow!" The Yangtze River Delta glared at the red-bearded dwarf angrily.

"Are you sure it's not obesity-induced secondary depression?" Although the longbow shot the sun, although he consciously took a loss, and his face was slightly red, he still couldn't help but ridicule him.

The Yangtze River Delta angrily threw a murderous look, causing the dwarf to stop immediately.

"yes, yes, it's a little too early...... "Xiange Yayi, who was standing on the side, also advised, "...... Anyway, your dagger can still be used, and the hammer is not a good thing in the first place, so let the longbow pay you a hand, and you don't have to be hit like this......"

The Yangtze River Delta hesitated for a moment, sighed and explained: "Actually, it's not the reason, I signed up for a yoga class last week, preparing to exercise to lose weight, and the time for class today is almost up......"

"Yoga? You? His explanation immediately caused an uproar, and the four people of Longbow Shooting the Sun, Wild Goose Array, String Song Yayi and Buddha Laughing drew an arc with their eyes from head to toe (because of the protruding belly) and looked the Yangtze River Delta up and down, and their eyes were about to pop out. I really don't understand what this "yoga" is that can cause such a huge commotion.

"Hey, who said fat people can't do yoga? Is it that weird for me to practice yoga? The Yangtze River Delta's face was slightly red, and he screamed in annoyance and embarrassment.

Nod......

"I protest, it's body discrimination!" The Yangtze River Delta is in a state of flux.

nodded unusually tacitly, and attached four expressions of "it is you who discriminates......

"I ......" Under the forced gaze of everyone, the momentum of the Yangtze River Delta has been greatly suppressed, and the arrogance has finally gradually decreased. He muttered a whispered explanation:

“…… So far, I've only practiced the part of meditation......"

"Oh......" Everyone's face showed a look of "I see", as if this key explanation was very in line with the will of the people.

"Layman! A bunch of laymen! The Yangtze River Delta looked at their narrow expressions and cynically scolded, "The essence of yoga lies in that completely open state of mind, which talks about epiphany. All kinds of body movements, that's fur, fur, I can't do it, I really don't care about it......"

I think what he said is very profound, very mysterious, and seems to make a lot of sense. My companions, however, don't seem to think so.

They rolled their eyes vigorously at the Yangtze River Delta, expressing great contempt and distrust.

"Believe it or not, our instructors praise me for my high understanding, hum......" The fat half-orc man's self-esteem was obviously taken a huge blow, and a cloud of exhaust gas erupted angrily from his big nostrils that turned into the sky.

“…… She said she had never seen a strongman who started snoring after just five seconds of meditation...... "Ninety:
