Chapter 131: Equipment Enhancement Machine Opened
Looking at the Bal Island that was gradually moving away, Zhao Tianhe felt a trace of reluctance.
"This five-fold roll is in vain......" Zhao Tianhe sighed.
A week after the application was submitted, Zhao Tian and the trio's promotion order was approved.
However, due to Zhao Tianhe's special status, he was not assigned to the nearest dungeon near Bal Island, but was arranged to the farthest end of the Endless Sea, close to the "Mohai Islands" of the Outer Demon Domain.
A large number of parliamentary troops are stationed here all year round, and from time to time they will set off local wars with the Demon Domain, and the danger is indescribable.
It is also here that it is more convenient for the association to monitor and control Zhao Tianhe, who is the 'seal designation'.
Moreover, the dungeon here is richer in life energy, and the number of monsters and the strength of the boss are higher than those in the inland dungeons, and the experience value and explosion rate will naturally increase, which is more suitable for Zhao Tian and this kind of monster-level existence to experience and upgrade.
Sitting in the cabin of the flying boat, a sword with different shapes appeared in Zhao Tianhe's hand from time to time, and occasionally a few weapons with a strange light appeared.
He was exercising his skills, and using the active effect of the Infinite Soldier could also trigger the super-magic premonition, but it would only trigger the high-level Infinite Soldier effect.
"Is that how your sword was made?" A thin, strange-looking man with a mouthful of fangs asked curiously.
This is the seal designation that has the talent of the Evil God Descending, the Heavenly Evil.
Originally, Tianxiao did not apply for promotion to S-rank, but he was still packed and thrown away with Zhao Tianhe, obviously wanting to put these two together in a realm that was convenient for control.
However, the old mage Ralph, the sealer of the Heavenly Evil, has been transferred as an enchantment master of the dignified eighth-level archmage, even if he goes to the S-level dungeon, he can be the pillar, and the A-level is really nothing, and it is estimated that he can brush it alone.
The two were arranged into a team, and it is likely that the association does not trust Li Mei very much, and reliable character does not mean that the strength is reliable.
Two full days later, after several stopovers and breaks, Zhao Tianhe and his party finally arrived at their destination.
Mohai Islands.
It's like when a monster is born, it will erode the territory of the Holy Council and turn it into a realm suitable for its own survival. After the Holy Council occupies the Outer Demon Domain, it will not only extend the dungeon system, but also greatly change the ecological environment.
Places like the Gold Coast weren't what they were five hundred years ago.
In the area close to the Demon Domain, because the monsters from the outside world will continue to erode the territory of the Holy Council, it is necessary to have a suitable way to deal with it.
The so-called ink sea is a means to deal with the erosion of external monsters, and it is a special magical creature developed by the elves. And the coast of the Endless Sea, which is close to the Demon Domain of the World, is also planted with a large number of extremely aggressive magical creatures.
The sea near the Mohai Islands has an eerie dark green color, and the creatures in the water are strange and fierce, and the whole ecological structure is different from that of the Gold Coast and most of the Endless Sea.
It is a special algae that has the ability to corrode the environment comparable to the top monsters, but the number and range of reproduction in its body are already set, so it will not spread into the endless sea.
After hundreds of years of evolution, many originally normal creatures have also mutated in this sea, forming a huge alien ecosystem.
However, speaking of which, the mutant creatures in Mohai actually taste quite good, and the seafood is exported to the mainland, which is the top luxury goods.
Zhao Tianhe has also eaten several times in Bal Island and Port Saint-Roth, and the meat quality and freshness are indeed far superior to ordinary marine fish, and more delicious than the special seafood produced on Bal Island.
"Wow." Zhao Tianhe looked at a big dark green fish that jumped out of the sea and exclaimed. "This fish costs a gold coin! Once the fish in the ink sea come into contact with the ordinary environment, they will quickly die and decay, and must be kept magically frozen for the entire time. This is the best material for making sashimi! ”
"Is that so? Is this the best sashimi of that time?! Artoria looked at the big fish with some eagerness.
"Hey, don't mess around." Gerals said with a smile. "When you get to the place, you can eat whatever you want, if you are local, these fish can buy a few catties of silver coins, right?"
The difficulty of Mohai's seafood is in terms of preservation, and the local price is definitely not high.
"Other than that, there's good news." Gerals said, looking at a newspaper from the Brave Society. "Look, the equipment enhancement machine has begun to be the first to open to the northern frontier and the border of the Endless Sea."
"Holy! Really?! Tianxie said excitedly.
The rest of the people also scrambled to circulate the newspaper with a look of surprise.
"However, it is said that the success rate of enhancement is very low." Gerals sighed and shook his head. "My staff is the best, it's too difficult to strengthen......"
For the first time, the specific parameters of the equipment strengthening machine were described in the press.
Needless to say, in terms of strengthening materials, in terms of strengthening probability, it is naturally the lowest boss outfit, and the other two types of equipment are relatively high.
There are two types of reinforcement mode, one is 'safe mode' and the other is 'gambling mode'.
The hardening success rate of Safe Mode is 100 percent, but the amount of material consumed is staggering.
The gambling mode consumes very little material, but it is not 100% successful.
In addition, every time you strengthen it three times, the equipment will evolve by leaps and bounds.
However, if it is enhanced more than three times, the material requirements for Safe Mode will skyrocket again, and the success rate of Gamble Mode will plummet.
If it is reinforced more than six times, the material requirements for Safe Mode can grow to an unimaginable amount. The gambling mode will become more dangerous, and there are various risks such as the explosion of enhanced and downgraded equipment after failure.
"I don't know if my materials can be used to strengthen ......" Zhao Tianhe also bought a piece of space equipment shaped as a waist bag by the way, and put all the kitchen utensils and various materials he collected with his handy kitchenware.
A few minutes later, the ship finally landed on a rugged island, which is the 'Shaxx Island' in the central region of the Mohai Islands.
Unlike the island of Bal, the inhabitants are mostly resident employees of ocean-going merchants who come here to fish, and then the families of the parliamentary garrison.
The soldiers of the parliamentary army were well treated, but also at great cost. They guarded the newly opened frontiers all year round, and their places of residence changed as the territory of the parliament advanced.
Although there are vacations, due to the frequent wars at the border gates, there are usually no long vacations, and those who come from the mainland to join the army basically have no chance to return home except for retiring.
Therefore, after getting married, many soldiers will take their wives and children to the development area close to the front line, so that it is convenient for them to go home to rest and visit relatives.
Because of the high salaries and post-retirement benefits of parliamentary soldiers, many of the descendants of soldiers will also be given priority to enlist in the army based on their parents' service experience.
Over time, a large number of 'military households' appeared.
They have lived in frontier areas for generations, and one or more children from each generation have joined the parliamentary army.
Although the frontier development area is sparsely populated and desolate, in this era, as long as you have money, you can get basically anything, so their standard of living is naturally beyond doubt. Occasionally, you can enjoy a trip back to the mainland.
'! Isn't that a solo flying skateboard? Ten gold one, this is actually for children to play? Zhao Tianhe looked at a teenager flying around in the sky on a skateboard, and his heart was also shocked.
This thing is actually just a deteriorated version of the flying boat that has solidified the half-ass flying technique, and the speed is not very fast, so Zhao Tianhe doesn't need it. With his current casting speed and mana regeneration speed, it would be too easy to farm a flying spell.
The group went straight to the association branch on Shaxx Island, first handed over the documents and vouchers for registration, and then went straight to the area where the equipment enhancement machine was located!
The Equipment Enhancement Machine was placed in a room next to the Brave Loan Center.
The door to the room is a metal magic prop with a palm print in the center, and everyone must verify their Brave System record number to enter.
"!"
Before he could press his hand with an excited face, with a scolding sound, a big foot kicked the magic metal door open!
A man of medium stature and topless body with smooth and well-proportioned muscles walked out scolding.
At the same time, there were several men and women who were either depressed or secretly happy.
"Don't get excited, Lao Gao." A one-eyed man smiled and patted the naked man on the shoulder. "I told you that you can't bet on dogs, okay? Downgraded two levels in a row, but it's okay, it's lucky if it doesn't explode. ”
"Rely on your uncle! Lao Tzu used the safe mode to finally pile up the main weapon to level six! Do you know how long it takes to brush those two levels?! It will take at least two weeks! The naked man covered his face and fell to his knees, slamming the floor with one punch at the other, causing clear cracks to appear in the ground.
"Vandalism! Fifty gold fines! A member of the association next to him came over and shouted. Stop hammering! Stop hammering! The foundation is about to burst! ”
"My necklace...... That's it...... Even though it's just a D-rank boss outfit, I'm ready to gamble......"
"My shoes, the gambling model is so unreliable! I can't even go up +5! ”
"I'll tell you, the down-to-earth and practical security mode is the most stable."
………………
Listening to the wails of many losers, Zhao Tianhe and others also cast a shadow in their hearts.
"It seems that it is more reliable to use the security mode." Gerals took the lead and walked into the reinforcement room, touching his chin and muttering. "However, the first three levels of gambling are similar...... I'll do it first! ”
With that, Gerals sat down in front of a large machine shaped like an old-fashioned arcade machine.
The object is two meters tall and rectangular in shape, with a heavy monolithic glass window on the top half, from which you can see a huge crystal ball with a hole in the middle that emits a pale blue light.
As soon as Gerals sat down in the chair at the front of the machine, a soft female voice was heard.
"Please put your arm or finger into the blue hole for equipment analysis."
Gerals slid his arm in.
Then, several shapes of equipment appeared on the glass window.
"Please select the equipment that needs to be strengthened."
"Hmm...... Dazzling Staff! Gerals said with a determined expression.
"Equipment separation...... Equipment separation...... You can pull away from your arm to add materials. ”
With the voice instructed, a phantom of a beautifully shaped and colorful staff appeared in the huge crystal ball inside. At the same time, a drawer with a depth of 30 centimeters and a width of 50 centimeters is slowly rolled out from the side of the machine.
A line of information also appeared on the glass window.
Dazzling staff, B-rank boss equipment
Elemental affinity +10
Enhancement level, 0
Required material value for security mode enhancement: 5
Gambling Mode Enhancement Material Value: 1
Gambling Mode Enhancement Success Rate: 90%
Footage value, 0
"Oh!" When Gerals saw this scene, he was also quite emotional. "I can really strip the equipment......"
"It is said that this thing was made out of deviation in the process of researching and stripping equipment and equipment, and it is probably true." Ralph, the old mage on the side, said with a smile. "However, stripped equipment can only be stored in the device in an energetic state, and cannot be used by anyone other than re-infused into the equipment holder's body."
It seems that he cares about this thing quite a lot.
Gerals pulled a large pouch out of his bosom, took a twig out of it, and threw it in.
"Footage placement detected, whether to end footage addition."
Gerals didn't answer, instead continuing to dump the material.
It wasn't until all the materials in his pocket were poured in that he confirmed the end.
When the drawer is closed, the asset value becomes 193.
"Well, it seems that it is still quite difficult to save......" Gerals said without hesitation, looking at the number of material values. Start to strengthen, level 1 to level 3, all in gambling mode! ”
The machine stopped asking, and the equipment phantom in the crystal ball began to disintegrate and dissolve into a slowly rotating mass of liquid. At the same time, a large number of points of light emerged from the four walls of the crystal ball, merged into the liquid made of equipment, and then began to spin violently!
Bursts of bright colored light emerged from the crystal ball, and Zhao Tianhe was stunned.
"Why do I think this is a bit like you draw cards?" Gerals looked at Zhao Tianhe, and it was obvious that he also felt a little strange.
"This ...... Are they all derivatives of the Brave system, and I think it's just because of the equipment attributes, right? Zhao Tianhe said with a smile.
"Yes." Gerals nodded.
The Dazzle God Staff is a rare boss equipment without special abilities, but its terrifying attribute and achievements are already comparable to special abilities, and the affinity of all elements is increased by 10, which is estimated to be rare in A-level boss equipment.
Gerals's luck is good, there is not a single failure from one to three levels, and he bets directly!
The basic attribute elemental affinity of the equipment has been increased by 3 points, and there is also a third-level enhanced attribute 'Spirit Attribute +10'.
"Next is the real ......," Geralt looked at the value of the equipment enhancement, and his expression became serious.
The requirement for three to four enhanced materials in Safe Mode has been increased to 30, which is double that of two to three.
"Alas~~" Old Mage Ralph suddenly sighed, because he remembered the countless garbage materials he had lost in his brave career, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of thousands...... He's distressed!
Although Gerals said that he should be steady, he did not withstand the temptation of probability in the gambling mode.
"50%, as long as you succeed within six times, you will earn blood......" Geralt said hesitantly. Three to four, gambling mode, continuous reinforcement until success! ”
However, something surprising happened to him!
One time!
"Excellent! Earned! Then four to five, as long as you succeed within ten times, you will earn blood! 40% odds, bet! ”
Five minutes later, Gerals exited the Enhanced Battlefield with a +5 staff.
"Have a great job and welcome to use it next time. Please note that destroying the Gear Booster is punishable by five to ten years in prison, depriving the Brave of the system for life. ”
"There's definitely something wrong with this machine!" Gerals shouted with an unhappy expression. "How can the 30% probability be so low?!"
"Forget it, Brother Jie." Heavenly Evil sneered and licked his lips. "Look at me."
Five minutes later, the Celestial Demon was lying on the side with a +4 glove.
"It's still going to be steady." Old mage Ralph touched his beard and said with a serious expression. "I'm definitely not going to bet!"
Five minutes later, Old Mage Ralph sat in the corner with a dark face and his +3 staff, muttering something.
"Sure enough, if you waste too much, you will be punished by heaven", "How can you miss 20% with a 50% probability", "Lao Tzu wants to complain"......
In the face of this bloody example, Li Mei didn't dare to take chances, and steadily used the safe mode to strengthen the staff to +6, and then used the remaining materials to gamble to strengthen the ring to +4.
"Sexism!" Heavenly Evil pointed at the machine and roared in an exaggerated tone. "This is machine sexism! Look at other people's big breasts to please her! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?! It's not that you are stupid and can't control your own gambling! Li Mei replied with an unhappy face, and then said to Zhao Tianhe. Brother Zhao, you can't gamble like these fools! ”
"Nope." Zhao Tianhe shook his head with a smile. "Gambling, but a man's romance."
When Gerals heard this, his spirits perked up and he applauded.
However, how could Zhao Tianhe and this coward do such a thing?
He just bet a few important pieces of equipment one by one to +3.
"Damn! You're too seeded, aren't you?! Even Amei dares to bet on +4! Heavenly Evil shouted with an unhappy face. Bet +6! Bet +6! +6……”
Zhao Tianhe didn't say much, but just threw the heart of convergence into it.
Although the effect of this E-level equipment is good, it can't keep up because the attribute is too low, and the garbage constitution attribute outfit that Gerals put together for him some time ago is much stronger than it.
"Gambling mode, enhanced until ......+9." Zhao Tianhe found out when he strengthened it before, and the consumption of equipment enhancement materials of different levels is also different, and the consumption of E-level boss equipment is very low, so he simply bet +9 directly.
Looking at the crystal ball in the glass window constantly emitting brilliant golden light, the three of them were stunned.
"It's normal, it doesn't matter if you lose and blow it up, anyway, it's a low-level outfit, isn't it?" Zhao Tianhe said with a smile.
As soon as his voice fell, the Convergence Heart, which had just reached +7 on the glass window, plummeted to +5!
Looking at Zhao Tianhe's unchanged face, the three of them admired it even more in their hearts.
How do they know that this kind of enhanced equipment is just a small scene for him, and the FGO card pool is calculated by single-digit percentages, and it is the norm for shipwrecks to miss.
