The Sharp Long Saber and the Spider Demon Dominator Shield, one for attack and one for defense—these two major weapons and shields must be strengthened to +4 to obtain their special effects.
The Strong Strike Armor worn on his body must be strengthened to a high level as much as possible, because each level of enhancement on the armor provides additional damage reduction effects. The upper garment is undoubtedly the largest piece of equipment covering regular areas (except when raising a shield).
The Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo is the first gold-level accessory Bai Pu obtained. Although the value of accessories before level 3 enhancement is not much, the +4 special effect often brings a qualitative change and should be acquired.
Other equipment should naturally be enhanced if possible, but Bai Pu is worried that he may not have enough Spiritual Points.
Currently, he possesses 30,000 Spiritual Points, which seems like a lot.
However, each enhancement of elite equipment (blue) costs 100 Spiritual Points multiplied by the level of enhancement; golden equipment (golden) requires 1000 Spiritual Points multiplied by the level of enhancement!
Bai Pu primarily focuses on enhancing golden equipment, which is undoubtedly a big spender, but the +4 special effects of golden equipment are far more practical than those of blue equipment! Instead of enhancing blue equipment and ending up with a bunch of ineffective special effects, it's better to concentrate resources on increasing the enhancement level of golden equipment!
After Bai Pu outlined his priorities, he discarded all distracting thoughts and immediately started enhancing and upgrading.
He first placed the Sharp Long Saber into the enhancement light ball, silently chanting for enhancement. According to the information, upgrades for the first 3 levels are guaranteed to succeed.
The Starlight Ball started to spin slightly faster, and soon spat out the Sharp Long Saber again, with +1 successfully achieved.
The +1 Long Saber became even more radiant, seemingly with star-like speckles attached, surpassing the sophistication of some low-budget knock-off movies.
Bai Pu chose to continue enhancing.
Enhancing the Sharp Long Saber to +3 cost 600 points, the first attempt to +4 failed, resetting the enhancement level to zero, then reforging to +4 on the second attempt, costing a total of 2000 points.
[Sharp Long Saber +4: Attack Power increased to 7~17]
[+4 Special Effect: Solidify: During the use of the weapon skill "Gale", the weapon no longer incurs additional durability loss.]
Bai Pu slightly shook his head, the benefit of the Solidify special effect is too small, a minor saving on future repairs, but after enhancing to +4, the increase in attack power is still worth it.
The Spider Demon Dominator Shield, enhancing to +3 cost 6000 points.
Upon trying to enhance to +4, the Spirit Realm Will provided a prompt:
[Detected that you are enhancing hero-level equipment. The success rate for this enhancement attempt is 50%.]
[You can invest support equipment into the enhancement light ball to increase the success rate. Currently, the number of support equipment that can be invested: 2.]
[The higher the quality of support equipment, the more significant the increase in success rate.]
Bai Pu exhaled lightly, relieved that the Spirit Realm Will didn't make things too difficult. However, this means that even unused equipment cannot be considered for sale directly, but rather prioritized for auxiliary enhancement.
Bai Pu thought for a moment, first trying to invest the white ordinary-level shield exchanged from Sun Quan's military merit, and found the enhancement success rate only increased by 5%.
He replaced it with the [Gleaming Bone Hammer], and found that the success rate increased by 10% for the same white equipment!
The mystery was solved: equipment exchanged through merit or bought as standard equipment in the real world only provides half the auxiliary enhancement effect!
The truly effective items are the equipment drawn from spoils treasure chests, where the auxiliary enhancement effect is not discounted.
Bai Pu placed two pieces of blue equipment: one was the [River Crocodile Armor] obtained in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene, and another blue item from the Heart Demon World obtained while venturing the Black Swamp with Dongbo Cheng, increasing the enhancement success rate to 90%. He confidently spent 4000 Spiritual Points for the enhancement and successfully achieved +4 without surprises.
[Spider Demon Dominator Shield +4: Universal defensive enhancement effect: While this shield blocks attacks, it additionally reduces (12%) damage.]
[+4 Special Effect: Dieting: The spider demon swarm summoned by Spider Demon Summoning now consumes Demon Power Value at a rate reduced to 5 points per second.]
Bai Pu smiled, realizing once more how much better the special effects of golden equipment are than those of blue equipment! With the Dieting special effect, the duration of the spider demon swarm, originally 30 seconds, is now doubled to 60 seconds!
Although it remains uncertain how powerful the spider demon swarm truly is.
Next comes the Strong Strike Armor, and at this time, only one auxiliary blue item remained, so Bai Pu could only invest another white item "Gleaming Bone Hammer", just managing to stack the success rate to 80%, fortunately achieving success in one go as well.
[Strong Strike Armor +4: Universal defensive special effect, when the covered part of this equipment takes an attack, it additionally reduces 12% damage.]
[+4 Special Effect: Evil Spirit (upgraded from Evil Qi skill): Adds +1 to the priority of decoupling, but the overall priority does not exceed (8).]
The priority was actually raised by 1 level! Bai Pu nods with satisfaction; this is critical.
Because Bai Pu often plays high-level games, frequently facing leaders and even enhanced leaders!
The leaders' characteristic is high priority level, using skills with high star levels, possessing surprisingly high priority in control skills, and outrageously long control durations.
The original Evil Qi skill could immediately lift control skills with priority up to 6, and could only partially mitigate the duration of control effects over 7! Now the priority is raised by one level, greatly increasing its practical usefulness against formidable enemies!
Take the Demon General Ghost Leather as an example, its enhanced version [Vibrating Sound Break] has a priority of up to 8 points, with a stun duration of 4 seconds. Bai Pu used Evil Qi Decoupling, reducing the time to just 2.5 seconds.
Now, with an additional 1-point priority boost from "Evil Spirit" Decoupling, although it still can't immediately remove the stun, it can shorten the time to 1.5 seconds or even less.
Next is the [Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo].
On the way to +3, but while pushing for +4, there was only one piece of auxiliary enhancement white equipment left, which was the standard shield from Sun Quan's Army (sealed).
Other equipment that Bai Pu swapped out, like the standard leg armor and Blood Ring Standard Plate Armor, couldn't be used for auxiliary enhancement because they were "not sealed".
With a 55% success rate, the gamble is quite significant.
Bai Pu reviewed the expenditure of his Spiritual Points.
Repairing all his equipment cost just over a thousand Spiritual Points; enhancing the Sharp Long Saber, Strong Strike Armor, and Spider Demon Dominator Shield to +4 cost a total of twenty-two thousand.
Bai Pu now has about seven thousand Spiritual Points remaining. Even if the failure resets things to zero, accessories at +3 and +0 make no difference, but +4 might lead to a qualitative change.
Bai Pu opted for the enhancement, paying 4000 Spiritual Points.
The Starlight Ball spun rapidly, and after a buzz of vibration, it spat out the [Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo].
[Enhancement failed, existing enhancement level reset to zero.]
Bai Pu sighed deeply, keeping his disappointment in check.
He calculated quickly; to push +4 again, he would need a total of 10,000 Spiritual Points, but currently, his balance was only a bit over 3000.
Without hesitating, Bai Pu sold two small gold bars and one refined silver ingot to the Spirit Realm Will. The three pieces of Spirit Realm gold and silver turned into light and vanished, and at the same time, Bai Pu's account rapidly ticked up to just over ten thousand.
Bai Pu chose to enhance once more, proceeding without hesitation.
This time, when aiming for +4, Bai Pu directly used the B-level Enhancement Card: during the next two equipment enhancements, even if the enhancement fails, the enhancement level won't reset to zero!
Now is not the time to be stingy with items; the B-level Enhancement Card should ideally be used when pushing for +5 or +6 for maximum value, but with a great battle looming, he must seize every opportunity to strengthen himself.
[Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo], +4 success!
Moreover, there still remains one "guaranteed" effect on the B-level Enhancement Card, but of course, this guarantee effect stays with the [Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo] and cannot be transferred to other equipment.
Bai Pu took a deep breath. Now, his Spiritual Points account has only a few hundred left, but his Storage Space still contains two small gold bars and four refined silver ingots, worth ten thousand points overall, so at least he's not completely broke.
If the +4 had failed again, Bai Pu would still sell all his Spirit Realm gold and silver to retry for a third time.
"Next time I try to enhance golden equipment, I must prepare enough auxiliary enhancement equipment in advance." Bai Pu resolved silently.
[+4 Special Effect Frenzied Strike: When Fierce Aura is activated, your critical hit damage is increased to 300% (up from 200%).]
Gazing at the new special effect on [Fierce Eye of the Giant Tuo] +4, Bai Pu's eyes sparkled with excitement, feeling that the twenty thousand points were not spent in vain.
Finally, Bai Pu sold another silver ingot, exchanged for 1000 Spiritual Points, and enhanced the blue equipment on his feet, [Elk Hide Boots], also pushing it to +4.
[Elk Hide Boots +4: General armor enhancement effect: When feet receive damage, additionally reduce (8%) of the damage]
[+4 Special Effect: Sprint: Activates actively, increases sprint speed by (14) points for 7 seconds, cooldown 4 hours.]
The +4 special effect of the boots is relatively fixed, usually offering a short-term speed boost. For Bai Pu, this ability to enhance mobility is quite valuable.
—Now, everything is ready.
Once he chooses to return, he'll appear in the Demon Abyss Border Land.
It's time to give the Superstar Alliance a little shock!
Bai Pu knew that the Demon Abyss Border Land had been operated by the Superstar Alliance for a long time, and while it may not be impregnable, it was certainly heavily fortified.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Pu wouldn't arrogantly charge into the Demon Abyss Border Land; his original goal this time was just to gather intelligence.
But after his time in the Heart Demon: Oath World, Bai Pu's strength had grown significantly, and more importantly, there were two major Demon Generals to act as his vanguard!
This opportunity could be said to be once-in-a-lifetime!
Bai Pu chose to return, and the starlit shadows around him quickly faded as white light filled his vision.
