The skill [Follow My Command] might have to be shelved for a while.
However, Fang Zhou thoughtfully weighed the [No.1 Seed Medal] in his hand. Soon, there's a major competition for new recruits among the ten great military academies. According to Instructor Lu Hu, it will likely focus on team combat. At that time, both the [Heroic Spirit Battle Banner] and this [No.1 Seed Medal] will certainly be invaluable.
At this moment, the One-eyed Instructor waiting nearby grinned at Fang Zhou. "Fang, as the No.1 Seed, you have one free Enchantment. I've sent the authorization to your personal terminal. Take a look and decide what kind of Enchantment you want."
Fang Zhou snapped out of his thoughts and excitedly opened his personal terminal. Much like how a secondary [Blacksmith] Profession involves not only basic [Forging] but also [Inlay] and [Refinement], [Enchantment] and [Alchemy] were exclusive skills of the Alchemist Profession.
The [Enchantment] skill allowed one to consume precious enchanting materials to add one or more enchantment affixes to a piece of equipment. These affixes were numerous and their effects varied, ranging from increasing damage and changing attack modes to granting special abilities. The most common and practical basic affixes included "Sharp" to enhance physical attack power and "Solid" to improve equipment durability. There were also affixes like "Thorns" to increase the chance of dealing counter-damage, "Wild" to boost the combo count, "Eagle Eye" to increase hit rate, and "Agile" to improve dodging ability. Of course, there were also affixes that enhanced attributes like critical hits, Penetration, and Spiritual Power recovery.
The types of available enchantment affixes were also closely related to the equipment category. For instance, the "Sharp" affix was recommended for a Combat Professional's weapons to increase base damage. Armor, on the other hand, was best with the "Shield" affix to enhance defensive attributes or provide a temporary shield. Enchanting an accessory with the "Piercing" affix could increase one's ability to ignore enemy Defense.
High-Tier equipment and rarer sets could be enchanted with even more powerful affixes that might include advanced attributes. For example, the set affix "Unyielding" could increase Life Energy and wound recovery speed, while "Decisive" could provide a higher Armor-Piercing effect. Human Professionals used these enchantment affixes to enrich their equipment, even customizing it according to their combat style and strategy to gain more powerful bonuses.
Fang Zhou was dazzled by the vast array of enchantments and couldn't make up his mind. He looked up at the One-eyed Instructor with anticipation and asked, "Instructor, do you have any recommendations?"
The One-eyed Instructor laughed heartily and waved his hand. "I'm a coarse man; my secondary Profession is [Blacksmith]. I can handle a bit of Forging or Refinement, but when it comes to a delicate art like Enchantment, I'm completely clueless. However, you're an Undead Mage. The basic common affixes for Magic Professionals—like "Peace" to increase Spiritual Power recovery speed, "Calm" to improve Casting success rate, "Wailing" to enhance Negative Energy Magic effects, and even "Contract," which specifically strengthens summoning Magic—are all quite good."
The One-eyed Instructor stroked his beard, as if remembering something. He slapped his forehead and chuckled, "Fang Zhou, aren't you good friends with that girl, Su Xinyan? She's a master of Enchantment! Anyway, you have this free Enchantment opportunity from the military academy, and you don't even need to provide the precious materials. Why not just go find her? She's an Undead Mage just like you, and with a Legendary father, she's the richest of the rich. Just ask her for advice on which Enchantment to get, or even just copy her equipment affixes. You can't go wrong."
Fang Zhou's eyes lit up, and he completely agreed with the One-eyed Instructor. That's right. Instructor Su was a powerful Alchemist, capable of crafting [Blue Fine] quality Marvels. Guiding him on what affix to enchant onto his [No.1 Seed Medal] would be child's play for her. Besides, Fang Zhou felt completely at ease entrusting this rare Enchantment opportunity to Instructor Su.
He gratefully saluted the One-eyed Instructor, then took the four bottles of Apprentice-level Attribute Secret Medicine from the resource box and handed them over. "Thank you, Instructor. I'll go find Instructor Su for help later. I've also already taken these four types of Apprentice-level Attribute Secret Medicine. Using them again won't have any effect, so I'd like to exchange them for contribution points."
"TSK, TSK, TSK!" The One-eyed Instructor shook his head, sighing in amazement. "You're a genuine big shot, kid! These four bottles of Apprentice-level Secret Medicine... even senior Black Iron Tier students wouldn't necessarily be willing to spend points on all of them. And you, a newly awakened rookie, have already used them all? I bet Sea City Military Academy never imagined a freak like you would come along when they were setting up the rewards for the No.1 Seed."
In Warehouse 2103, the other Seed Students waiting for their rewards watched the Attribute Secret Medicines in Fang Zhou's hands with eyes burning with envy. Even Meng Hongzhuang and Bai Xiaochan were no exception. A single bottle cost a whopping 50 contribution points. Even for students like them, who had interest-free loan limits of hundreds or thousands of points, it was a purchase they had to think long and hard about. Yet, the resources they agonized over exchanging were merely things Fang Zhou had already used and moved on from. The contrast was just too stark.
The One-eyed Instructor took the four Secret Medicines from Fang Zhou and transferred 200 contribution points to his personal terminal.
He then looked at the three pieces of white, common-quality equipment in Fang Zhou's resource box and said seriously, "Fang Zhou, although the military academy has rewarded you with three pieces of New Star Equipment, you must remember that High-Tier equipment has higher attribute requirements for its user.
"Under normal circumstances, only senior Black Iron Tier students meet the requirements to use a full set of white, common-quality equipment. You've only just reached the Middle Rank of Apprentice. Based on your current attributes, you can probably only equip one or two pieces of the New Star Equipment for now.
"Why don't you try them on here first? And don't push yourself. If you force yourself to equip High-Tier gear that's beyond your capacity, not only will you fail to enjoy its benefits, but your own attributes will be heavily suppressed, reducing your combat power. In that case, the equipment would become a burden instead of a help. It would be a complete waste!"
Fang Zhou nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon the three pieces of New Star Equipment in the resource box. Boosted by the Marvel, [Sea City Military Academy No.1 Seed Medal], and the title, [Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed], his Spirit Attribute was already nearing 8 points, approaching the limit for a Middle Rank Apprentice.
