It wasn’t surprising that the breastplate solely increased defense. However, the potency introduced by the shoulder armor genuinely astonished the duo. Both archers and martial artists required strength. The two promptly removed the blue equipment from their bodies and donned the white gear from the ground.
“Which boss is approaching? With these items, our upgrade pace is much swifter than before!”
“It makes sense. Equipped like this, I can take on a level 20 boss solo.”
The martial artist expressed with some wistfulness, “It’s a shame it’s time-limited and will expire in 6 days.”
The archer also lamented that such formidable equipment could only be worn for a brief period. It was genuinely distressing.
“It would be fantastic if we could locate that boss.”
“Don’t dwell on it. These six days are ample for us to accomplish a lot. Let’s appreciate the boon of encountering a significant boss and not harbor more extravagant hopes.”
“True.”
Reluctantly, the two departed the plains with sizable military backpacks on their backs.
In the Wild wolf camp, Zhao Xing stood amid the wolf carcasses, having just reached level 13. He toyed with a repeating crossbow in his hand. After battling for an extended period, he didn’t know how many hundreds of monsters he had slain. Unexpectedly, his luck surged, and a purple piece of equipment materialized!
[Spike-toothed crossbow].[Level: 10].[Quality: Elite (Purple)].[50 attack power, fire rate 2, durability 1000.].[Strength +10, Speed +3, Hit Rate +5%].
Low-level purple gear typically lacked special effects, unlike king-grade items like the Hat of the Scholar. Nevertheless, this purple equipment could be deemed excellent. The attack power was moderately high for level 10 purple gear, with an additional 10 points for strength and speed, along with an improved hit rate. The rate of fire was 2, allowing for two arrows per second. The durability was 1000, decreasing with each arrow shot.
“Sold to archers or hunters. They could fetch thousands of dollars.”
Without hesitation, Zhao Xing handed the item to the resting Guan Ya.
“Why?” Inquired Guan Ya.
“Sister Ya, the gear is rightfully yours. You slew all those monsters.”
Guan Ya smiled and remarked, “It’s of no use to me. Since you’re practicing enchanting, the proficiency gained from purple gear surpasses that of white and blue ones. Take it.”
“It’s a perfect opportunity to test the effect of enchanting purple gear.”
Guan Ya didn’t desire the crossbow. Though Yang Tianming didn’t explicitly request it, she believed he wouldn’t mind such a trivial matter.
“Okay,” Zhao Xing didn’t decline, genuinely eager to experiment.
Soon, the enchanting process was complete, and to Zhao Xing’s surprise, an extra effect emerged this time!
[Spike-toothed crossbow].[Level: 10].[Quality: Elite (Purple)].[Status: Enchanted (temporary)].[250 attack power, 10 fire rate, 5000 durability.].[Strength +60, Speed +23, Hit Rate +25%].[Wolf’s Poison: The crossbow bolts are poisonous, causing 50 points of effect per second, decreasing by 10% after 10 seconds. The venom slows the wound, causing a constant bleeding effect.].
With joy on his face, Zhao Xing examined the enchanted equipment. Undoubtedly, his talent had an unabated impact on purple gear. After enchanting the primary attribute, the effect still maintained a 20-fold increase!
(Note that it is not a 20-fold increase in equipment attributes but a 20-fold increase in the level of a normal enchanter. The enchanting effect of a junior enchanter on purple equipment is about 10 points of attack power bonus, so the 20-fold effect is equal to the original attribute 50 points, 200 points.)
After being enchanted, the attributes saw improvements in nearly all aspects. However, the primary focus was on enhancing a single attribute – attack power. Since the primary enchantment only amplified certain effects, achieving a uniform improvement for all attributes was impossible. Nevertheless, the rate of fire, durability, and hit rate all experienced substantial increases.
Despite these enhancements, Zhao Xing was uncertain about the actual combat effectiveness. To test it out, he asked Guan Ya, “Sister Ya, do you have control skills in your water magic?”
“Yes, what are you planning?” She responded.
“I want to test the power of this crossbow.”
The crossbow had a connection port at the bottom, and a quiver was attached underneath. The arrows, resembling fangs, were about the thickness of a finger and 20 centimeters long. The quiver’s capacity was 20.
“Sure,” Guan Ya agreed, and they quickly located five 18-level wild wolves.
“Frozen!” Guan Ya cast a frost-type spell, causing the wolves to feel icy under their feet, limbs entangled in frost.
“” Despite their struggles, the wolves couldn’t break free.
Zhao Xing aimed the crossbow and pulled the trigger, but the arrow missed the mark, hitting a nearby tree. Guan Ya encouraged him, suggesting he get closer if needed. Zhao Xing shot two more arrows and, frustrated, approached the wolves, almost staring at one and pulling the trigger.
“” The arrow hit the wolf’s eye socket, causing a fatal attack.
[You hit the wolf’s weak point, causing a fatal attack, and its power increased by 470%!].[You caused 1175 damage to wild wolves!].[You have killed wild wolves and gained 466 experience!].
Stunned, Zhao Xing realized he had killed the wolf in seconds. Guan Ya, witnessing the damage, was equally amazed. Zhao Xing proceeded to dispatch the remaining wolves, revealing damage values exceeding three thousand.
Guan Ya, wearing the Heavenly Armor set as a main battle class, was astonished. Zhao Xing’s damage far surpassed hers. Curious, she asked to see the crossbow’s attributes. After examining them, she looked at Zhao Xing in disbelief.
“Sister Ya, is there something on my face?” Zhao Xing asked.
“No,” she replied, shaking her head, “I was just thinking that in the future, you might change the situation where auxiliary jobs are unpopular. It may even cause a large number of main combat professionals to lose their jobs.”
In Nanhu Province’s Department of Education, Minister Zhang Haiqiang, Deputy Minister Liu Qingshan, and other department heads gathered. Minister Zhang Haiqiang expressed the urgency of the situation, wanting to personally witness Zhao Xing’s mastery of permanent enchantment skills in about three days. He asked if anyone was willing to accompany him.
