Chapter 724 The Principles of Enhancement and the Necessary Conditions for Forging
My good brother, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic?
"Come on, let's go and enter the information now, okay? Anyone can be turned away from the Divine Forging Bureau, and I can be shut out too, but not you, Lin Yi! Come on, let's go and enter the information now. I didn't call you to come and enter the information earlier because you were on a mission. Let's make up for it now, and then I'll treat you to a good meal."

Lin Yi didn't really care much about the information entry process.

To be honest, if he, possessing the power of the Primordial Beginning, wanted to force his way through the protective barrier, it would be an easy matter.

Since Lin Yi probably won't be using the Divine Forging Bureau's enhancement platform anytime soon, recording some information is quite necessary.

The data entry process was not complicated. With Sun Dachuan, the highest leader of the Divine Forging Bureau, leading the way, everything went smoothly without any obstacles.

As for meals, you can have a proper meal.

After several rounds of drinks, it was already past noon.

They spent the whole morning catching up, and Sun Dachuan was very excited, so he didn't ask Lin Yi about the purpose of his trip.

It wasn't until he had almost finished eating that he realized he hadn't asked Lin Yi what he wanted to do.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to exchange some techniques about enhancement with you, and maybe do our Divine Forging Bureau a favor in the process. What do you think?"

Sun Dachuan could understand doing a favor for the Divine Forging Bureau, but the idea of ​​exchanging forging techniques with him sounded very unfamiliar to him.

Since the end of the Blue Star era, various countries have shared a lot of information through the Blue Star Professionals Alliance, including the Divine Forging Bureau led by Sun Dachuan.

Sun Dachuan's enhanced techniques have garnered widespread praise.

There are enhancement masters on Blue Star who surpass Sun Dachuan in enhancement techniques, but the best enhancement master who is easy to talk to, has a good temper, and can take action is probably Sun Dachuan.

"Brother, it's only been a short time since you mastered the ability to enhance equipment. Isn't it a bit unfair of us to compare this to you?"

"I'm not bragging, bro, but when it comes to upgrading equipment, I'm not afraid of anyone. Besides, you've seen it yourself; my skills and abilities are increasing day by day as I forge more and more equipment. If we're talking about pushing our limits, how about..."

Sun Dachuan knew that his brother was very capable.

Being able to surpass him in one aspect is something to brag about for a lifetime.

Sun Dachuan was very confident in his enhancement skills. He didn't think Lin Yi could surpass him in this area, but he wouldn't flaunt his weakness that a mage could never touch.

Knowing Sun Dachuan's true thoughts, Lin Yi reached out and stopped him.

"Hey brother, our conversation is less about sparring and more about mutual learning. Besides, there's no betting involved, so a little competition wouldn't hurt, would it?"

Hearing Lin Yi say that, Sun Dachuan immediately perked up.

Indeed, this is a good opportunity for mutual learning. Previously, due to professional constraints, Sun Dachuan was unable to discuss equipment enhancement with Lin Yi. Now that Lin Yi has successfully mastered the enhancement technique, sparring would also be beneficial for Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, Sun Dachuan readily agreed and immediately asked the brothers present if anyone had any untouched equipment that they could bring out for free enhancement.

The opportunity to have Sun Dachuan enhance equipment for free is not something that happens every day, so the brothers from the Divine Forging Bureau were all scrambling to sign up.

Although enhancing Lin Yi's equipment might sound unreliable, in the Divine Forging Bureau, where everyone has an average enhancement level of +20, almost everyone believes that enhancing equipment is more reliable than enhancing Lin Yi's.

But this did not stop the brothers from the Divine Forging Bureau from giving their equipment to Lin Yi for enhancement.

Regardless, the name Lin Yi carries unparalleled prestige on Blue Star. Even if Lin Yi only enhanced the equipment to below +10, it would still become an item coveted by all professionals on Blue Star. And so, the grand event began.

The brothers from the Divine Forging Bureau temporarily put down their work and gathered in the forging room to concentrate on recording the duel between the two. They even took out recording equipment to record the duel.

"Brother Lin Yi, since we're having a competition, you'd better show your full skills. I won't hold back either. During this time, I'll try my best to slow down the speed at which I'm enhancing my equipment, hoping you can learn as much as possible."

Sun Dachuan's actions not only allow Lin Yi to learn his enhancement techniques, but also benefit the brothers in the Divine Forging Bureau, especially those brothers who are interning at the Divine Forging Bureau and have limited enhancement skills.

"Brother Da Chuan, there's no need for that. Just do things at your own pace."

Sun Dachuan didn't take Lin Yi's words too seriously.

He thought it was just Lin Yi being polite.

But as the competition began, Sun Dachuan started to feel a little lost.

Like himself, Lin Yi felt a sense of enjoyment the moment he picked up the hammer, as if a long-awaited rain had fallen on a parched land.

Each upgrade of equipment is a process that is quite artistic.

With just the right amount of hammering, create slight cracks on the surface of the equipment, carve intricate inscriptions within them, and then infuse your own source power into them, giving the equipment even greater power.

However, stacking enhancements on equipment is not as simple as just hammering open the gaps, injecting source energy, and then closing them.

The source power injected into the equipment must not be leaked.

This means that the opening cannot be allowed to crack a second time.

There's only one piece of equipment, and upgrading it to a higher level requires exceptional skill.

This is what makes a reinforcement master so powerful.

The reason why the enhancement speed of equipment decreases as the enhancement progresses is that even high-level enhancement masters need to be very careful when enhancing equipment to a higher level.

The process of hammering open the seam is different for each enhancement level. The force required becomes less and less, or rather, more and more refined and delicate. If a mistake is made, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but the equipment will also be destroyed.

To save face for his brother, Sun Dachuan deliberately slowed down the speed at which he swung his hammer.

Doing this was partly to save face for his brother. Although enhancing equipment wasn't Lin Yi's forte, it would be a loss of face for Lin Yi, a powerful figure, to lose to him in a certain area.

Secondly, Sun Dachuan planned to carefully observe Lin Yi's enhancement techniques to see where Lin Yi was lacking, which caused his last enhancement to stagnate at the +5 level. After the competition, Sun Dachuan could provide him with proper guidance so that Lin Yi's ability to enhance equipment could reach a higher level.

Little did Sun Dachuan know that the enhancement skills Lin Yi possessed were completely different from those of ordinary enhancement masters.

Why is the Divine Forging Bureau, which provides equipment crafting and enhancement, located within the Chi You Academy?

Because the Chi You Academy is mostly made up of strong men, they are well-suited for this kind of physical labor.

In addition, warriors and tanks have passive skills that grant them elemental affinity, allowing them to sense metal states. This is why the Divine Forging Bureau is composed entirely of strong men.
