Chapter 65 Leaving Gear City

Chu Cheng didn't stay in Gear City for long. After completing this task, he returned to the dock and fished for another three days. On the second day, Xu Zhiyuan ran away.

He had been staying with me in Gear City for almost ten days, but he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Once he left, Chu Cheng naturally had to leave as well.

It's not like he really has nothing to do and goes fishing every day.

“This trip was quite rewarding!”

Three rare gemstones that have been cut, four sapphires that have also been cut, plus a gemstone formula.

Two of the three dense sky sapphires have been embedded in the diversion cloak, increasing the overall quality by 10 points. This piece of equipment itself has two holes, so there is no need to spend money to drill holes.

Another rare equipment, the Precision Piercer, does not have a hole, so you need to find a craftsman to drill a hole.

The school has a full-time teacher in this area. No matter what the quality of the equipment is, it costs 1 gold to open a hole, 2 golds to open the second hole, 4 golds to open the third hole, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that hole-drilling craftsman is not a separate profession, but a branch of the two professions of forging and jewelry processing.

Forging can create weapons and equipment, and it is very normal to drill a few holes in the equipment.

Not to mention jewelry processing, the magic gems cut by this profession are used to be embedded in equipment, so naturally there are also drilling skills.

There is no difference between the two, both can be operated.

In addition, the Enchanting profession also has a rune branch, which can create separate magic runes, which are embedded in equipment like magic gems to add additional properties.

Compared to the simple and single properties of magic gems, the properties added by magic runes are slightly more complex.

Magic gems only add a single attribute. One gem only adds one attribute. There is no gem that adds two attributes at the same time.

Magic runes are different. In addition to having more diverse functions, they can also grant multiple attributes at the same time, such as increasing physique and strength at the same time, increasing attack and defense, as well as spell damage bonus, etc.

To put it simply, magic runes are the gemstone form of enchantments.

Normally, a piece of equipment can only be enchanted once, but if it is replaced with a magic rune, as long as there are enough slots, it can be enchanted two or three times at the same time, greatly enhancing the power of the equipment.

Of course, if the equipment has a magic rune embedded in it, it can no longer be enchanted.

Correspondingly, if the equipment has been enchanted, magic runes cannot be embedded in it, only normal magic gems can be embedded.

The two high-level professions of enchantment and jewelry processing can greatly enhance personal strength. For the same set of equipment, if it is fully equipped with rare-level or above magic gems and enchants, all attributes can be improved by 50%-100% or even more, and the difference in combat power is huge.

After leaving Gear City, Chu Cheng did not go directly back to Cross Fortress or the Northern Outpost. Instead, he headed east, preparing to wander deep into the wilderness to see if he could encounter a large alien tribe suitable for action.

Ten days have been wasted. There is about half a month left before the first major plot in the dungeon - the Battle of Blackwater River will begin. He must rush back to participate.

He quickly left the border checkpoint of Gear City and plunged into the vast wilderness.

Walking from morning to afternoon, Chu Cheng discovered an orc tribe.

After observing from a distance and confirming that it was only a medium-sized tribe, he took out two weapons and twirled them in his palms, then walked out from behind the bushes and strolled towards the tribal gate.

The orcs on the gate tower immediately spotted him. After a burst of strange shouts, the gate was opened, and a team of more than a dozen orc warriors at around level 15 rushed out. The guards on the tower took out javelins and threw them at him.

The distance was too far, and he failed to hit the target even though he didn't dodge.

But soon the orc squad rushed over, and five javelins from a distance pierced him head-on.

Invisible light flashed, he did not move, and the orc warriors who rushed over did not react either, but a series of "thumps" sounded from the wooden gate and wooden sentry tower of the tribe 70 to 80 meters away from him, and five long knife marks instantly appeared on the body of the guard on the sentry tower. The orc warriors who rushed over had limited brain capacity and could not understand why the javelin did not cause any injuries to the enemy, so they rushed up while shouting and slashing with their knives.

"Based on your perception, you will get the following detailed statistics of the battle."

"Battle replay begins."

"You are attacked by an orc warrior, causing 52 points of physical damage from slashing. Your talent absorbs 52 points of damage, and you ultimately take 0 points of physical damage."

"."

"Your talent, spatial refraction, takes effect, reflecting 52 points of pure damage to the orc warrior."

"Your talent, spatial refraction, takes effect, reflecting 52 points of pure damage to the wooden door."

"."

Things like wooden doors, wooden walls, stone walls, and even trees can actually be destroyed, just like various machines. The only difference is that the living ones are called life points, and the inanimate ones are called durability. When the durability is depleted, they will be destroyed.

In the Chaos Realm, all attacks and defenses can be roughly divided into four categories.

One is normal attack and normal defense, which covers almost all types. Physical attacks such as slashing and piercing are all normal attacks.

100% damage to normal armor and magic armor, 10% damage to wall armor, and 1% damage to holy armor.

One is magic attack and magic defense.

100% damage to normal and magic armor, 50% damage to wall armor, 1% damage to holy armor.

One is siege attack and wall armor, which generally refers to attacks by war machines such as ballistas, catapults, and solid cannonballs.

It does 100% damage to normal, magic and walls, and 1% damage to holy armor.

The last type is true attack, also called pure damage.

It does 100% damage to normal, magic, and wall armor, and 50% damage to holy armor.

"Noble pure damage!"

The gate, which was originally very difficult to demolish, was soon broken down by the unremitting efforts of more than a dozen orc warriors as if it had been chopped thousands of times. Countless wood chips flew everywhere. With a loud bang, the arrow tower collapsed first, and then the gate collapsed, alarming the orcs inside.

Accompanied by the long sound of the horn, most of the orc tribe was alarmed, and more and more orcs rushed to the gate of the tribe, and they were thrown to the ground one after another.

Chu Cheng stretched out his hand to hold down the orc warrior, and with a force of over a hundred, he easily pushed several orcs back to the gate. More orc warriors squeezed up and smashed them with swords and sticks.

Ripples spread out in space, and the people and horses behind were thrown to the ground.

This time he did not deliberately control the orc warriors that were rushing up, because with the upgrade of his talent, the absorption value has increased from the original 30 to the current 100.

According to the monster data sheet, normal template attacks below level 100 generally do not exceed points.

In other words, ordinary monsters below level 20 are no longer enough to break through his defense and are no longer taken seriously by him.

The only orcs in this tribe who could pose a threat to him were the orc chieftain and a few level 30 elites, but they were only a certain threat.

With his current strength, it would be almost no problem for him to face off against an elite of level 30 or so head-on.
