My talent is 1.

Chapter 13 Enhancement +10, Star-up Function

Zhang Haitao was getting a little frustrated. What was wrong with this guy?

And also, just how many good things does this guy have...?

Wolf Knight Job Change Certificate

When this thing is sent as a screenshot.

Zhang Haitao's hands were trembling.

He was just an ordinary professional, although he had a business mind, a certain network of connections, and a lot of skills in dealing with people.

However, many of these rules don't apply in a fantasy world, where strength reigns supreme and without material support, nobody will give you a second thought.

With this job change certificate, even if it's not the most powerful one, your combat strength will skyrocket.

Rare professions have high upgrade and growth attributes, and also have a lot of free attribute points, which can be combined with one's own abilities.

Zhang Haitao firmly believes that he can definitely squeeze into the upper management, or at the very least, be among the top middle management!

"How much...how much!"

"These three items, in total, cost 15,000 gold coins. Don't try to haggle with me; any one of these three items is priceless!"

Zhong Wuyai wasn't stupid. The deerskin belt was the most dangerous thing. He didn't know what information others could deduce from the deerskin belt. He was gambling.

Having your own talent is like modifying data, which is terrifying; it's practically a GM function.

If it weren't for the fact that each item could only be used once, Zhong Wuyai wouldn't have bothered to ask Zhang Haitao.

Simply increase the amount to 100 million, slaughter all the bosses, and easily earn tens of millions of gold coins.

Zhang Haitao hesitated for a long time before giving a reply...

"I need time to raise the money, or you can trade me the equipment first, and I guarantee 15,000 gold coins will be in your account within two hours!"

Zhong Wuyai pondered for a moment...

"Let's make the deal at the clothing store!"

After removing the deerskin belt, you should replace it with a new one.

Moreover, Zhong Wuyai had a new idea: why not create equipment with affixes, so that attributes or affixes could be modified in a targeted manner?

Moreover, some attributes add far more than equipment stats.

For example, cooldown time...

No need for 15%... 10% is enough.

In the fantasy world, it's currently unclear what limitations or mechanisms exist for the cooldown time attribute, but right now, cooldown time is really important.

If you have 100%... no... 50% cooldown reduction, that's enough.

The chain lightning will reduce the paralysis time to less than twenty seconds.

Then the two monsters paralyze each other, which essentially gives you infinite control.

Zhang Haitao brought 3000 gold coins, which he had already borrowed from many people.

The remaining funds will need to be raised in other cities.

But I believe that these two pieces of equipment will allow me to apply for more funding.

Zhong Wuyai brought all the materials from his warehouse, preparing to make a belt.

When Zhang Haitao arrived, Zhong Wuyai was already inquiring about information related to the manufacturing equipment.

"Hurry up!"

Zhong Wuyai only said one sentence, didn't argue with Zhang Haitao, and finished the transaction before continuing to talk to the NPC.

Zhang Haitao didn't think much of it, grabbed his equipment and left to find Sikong Shen in another city.

Compared to Lin Xihang, Sikong Shen's side could obviously obtain far more funds.

The key to the Cooling attribute lies in a special material: Magic Essence.

Just like the steel bone fragments in your inventory, which can increase defense, the black iron increases physical attack.

Carrying materials containing demonic energy can increase magical damage and spell critical strike chance.

Magic essence... how do I get this stuff...?

Zhong Wuyai sent messages to Xiang Yang, Yang Yimu, and Zhang Haitao to inquire about their situations.

Zhang Haitao replied very quickly.

"It's available in Lake City, but it's very expensive, costing 100 gold coins per set. It's not sold on the market; it seems only equipment with cooling effects can be disassembled. We don't know which monsters can drop it yet."

That's normal; 90% of the items that drop can be obtained by defeating monsters yourself.

But, am I really going to dismantle the ox bone staff?

"Xiang Yang, ask your men how many ox bone staffs they have in total!"

"What's wrong, boss? What do you need this for? We don't even need it in the newbie village anymore!"

"I'm asking you if you have it on hand right now!"

"Wait a minute!"... "Boss, we actually found two, both in the warehouse!"

"Bring it to the disassembler, quick, it's an urgent request!"

"Okay, right away!"

After Xiang Yang arrived, Zhong Wuyai didn't say much, but bought a piece of equipment with +5 physical defense, which was basically garbage.

However, after using the talent to upgrade it to level 51, it directly became a god-tier item.

After it was handed over to Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang stood there dumbfounded...

"This...this thing...is it for me?"

"Aren't you a soldier? Don't take it!"

"Yes, of course we want it! Even if I don't use it, it's perfect for a tank class. We can farm monsters on the second floor ourselves without you having to do it, boss!"

51 points of physical defense, that's... god-tier gear... definitely god-tier gear...

He's my underling after all, so I have to give him some benefits. Besides, 51 points seems like a lot, but compared to a 110-point deerskin belt, it's not that conspicuous.

Xiang Yang couldn't understand why such terrifying attributes meant it was just a basic piece of equipment.

But there's no need to think about it anymore. What the boss gives you can't be wrong, right? Aren't these stats amazing? They're beyond good...

Zhong Wuyai stared for an hour, then increased the cooldown time of the ox bone staff before immediately having the disassembler disassemble it.

[Ding! You have obtained 20 White Crystals and 5 Magic Essences]

Holy crap, I got a drop! I got 5 Mana Essences. I wonder what effect these 5 Mana Essences will have on crafting equipment.

continue……

Zhang Haitao arrived before the talent's cooldown period was over.

He hadn't expected that Zhong Wuyai would actually wait for him here for two hours.

Zhong Wuyai's mind was entirely focused on the essence of magic energy, and he didn't care what Zhang Haitao thought.

After the transaction, Zhong Wuyai's package contained 15214 gold coins, 77 silver coins, and 12 copper coins.

My talent cooldown is almost over, let's deal with the gear first.

"I'm busy, you go do what you need to do!"

Zhang Haitao quickly thanked him and hurriedly went to the job change hall. He had been craving power for so many days in the fantasy world.

Not just Zhang Haitao, everyone is...

[Ding! You have obtained 18 White Crystals and 6 Magic Essences]

Goodness, my luck is off the charts! Six mana essences!

The head tailor at the clothing store was stunned when he saw the 10 magical essences that Zhong Wuyai handed over. He thought it would only be one or two, but he didn't expect it to be so many.

Zhong Wuyai kept one, in case something went wrong, he could do it again, or at worst, he could do a -1 second self-destruction.

"Wait a minute, my abilities are insufficient to refine so much magical energy essence into it, but my master can."

Not long after, a beautiful woman came out, and the words "Master Tailor" on the information board were particularly eye-catching.

"I didn't expect you to find so much magical essence. You're very lucky, young man!"

"I wonder if it's possible to craft a level 20 belt!"

"Of course, no problem. However, other materials might not be able to withstand the power of so much magical essence. You'll need at least 10 silver crystals and 5 portions of silver materials!"

Silver crystal is not a problem; Zhong Wuyai also has gold crystal.

However, Zhong Wuyai had no intention of using the golden crystal, and even if he did forge golden equipment, he wouldn't be able to enhance it.

When Zhong Wuyai took out the steel bone block, the beautiful woman's eyes showed some emotion.

"Steelbow Hardened Blocks are rare treasures. Are you sure you're only making a level 20 belt?"

I'd like to make something more advanced, but it's pointless to wear it.

"Of course, a level 20 belt!"

The tailor took the materials inside and came out a little while later.

【Tidal Belt】

French equipment

Durability: 25/25

Grade: Silver

Wearing level: 20

Intelligence +30

Physical defense +30

Magic Defense +20

Entry 1 [Whisper]: Reduces the cooldown time of all skills by 10%.

Zhong Wuyai was extremely satisfied, more satisfied than he could have been.

This is exactly what he wants.

I can finally retire the ox bone cane in peace.

Zhong Wuyai went to the disassembler and disassembled the ox bone staff first.

I obtained 5 Magic Essences and stored them in my warehouse. These are incredibly useful; they'll be extremely useful if I ever need to upgrade my equipment later.

After looking at the Phantom Moon Shadow, Zhong Wuyai thought for a moment that even if he didn't use it, he couldn't possibly dismantle it, as the guild would have a great need for this kind of equipment in the future.

Moreover, one can improve attributes and enhance the strength of personnel at any time.

As for whether they will retaliate, ha, one or two pieces of equipment are useless. He has a full set, and even more sets in the future.

There are also skills, attribute points, skill points...

The difference is huge.

If you dare to betray, be prepared for permanent death.

It can be said that because each person only has 3 resurrections, high-level combatants hold the power of life and death over others.

This is also why powerful forces can quickly gather people.

Those who lacked combat strength wisely joined or defected.

No one who held a certain status in their original world would be foolish enough to anger someone who could kill them at will.

This is also why the Yang and Xiang families in the mine dared not say a word.

Being on good terms with someone means having a strong backer; but once you become enemies, they become a living devil.

If you're in a bad mood and just show up, many people will suffer, so you can't afford to offend anyone.

After the talent cooldown, I immediately added the Tidal Belt.

Reduce skill cooldown by 110%; the cooldown of Fire Seed and Chain Lightning is reduced to 1 second.

"Hmm, add some more mana regeneration, and it'll be unlimited firepower."

His magic attack was already high, and his skill damage was also high, so it was like multiple amplifications. Now, who could withstand a single move from him!

Oh right, and there's also the staff; I haven't crafted one yet.

In the weapon shop, the same situation occurred again, and the advanced weapon refiner went through the same process.

The things Zhong Wuyai brought were far too valuable.

It was the dwarf master who stepped in and forged a staff for Zhong Wuyai.

Hundreds of zombie fangs, the wind wolf fangs that have remained since the starting village, plus refined iron.

Thousands of white crystals, one hundred green crystals, and one hundred blue crystals.

The dwarf blacksmith shook his head at the sight.

"You'll also need 50 silver crystals or 5 gold crystals, otherwise the refined iron will be useless!"

Zhong Wuyai didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out 50 silver crystals.

However, this means there aren't enough crystals to enhance the Tide Belt.

But I can't worry about that right now. At worst, I won't upgrade it. I'll just adjust my talent and I'll still have god-tier gear.

"1000 gold coins!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wuyai staggered...

Holy crap... This is robbery! So much money!

The dwarf didn't speak, he just stared at Zhong Wuyai...

Well, you get what you pay for...

After Zhong Wuyai paid one thousand gold coins, the dwarf blacksmith began smelting materials to make the product...

"What a pity, if you had the Golden Crystal, this would be a piece of gold equipment."

[Fang Staff]

Intelligence +30

Attribute 1 [Ruthless]: All attacks deal an additional 5% of magic attack as true damage.

Attribute 2 [Ominous Name]: Ignores 5% magic defense and 5% damage reduction.

Zhong Wuyai wanted to click on both keywords, especially "ruthless," because they dealt real damage...

However, after some thought, Zhong Wuyai decided to focus on magical attacks at this stage.

However, it needs to be strengthened before use.

What is needed to upgrade the Fang Staff?

"10 silver crystals and 50 gold coins!"

Damn it, this upgrade is a money-devouring beast. I just made some money, and before I could even enjoy it, it's almost all gone.

Guild creation requires money, so we can't waste it all here.

"strengthen!"

There are still 40 silver crystals left in the package, enough to last a while.

[Ding! Enhancement successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Fang Staff +1]

"Continue to strengthen!"

[Ding, enhancement successful...]

Hmm, very good, continue to strengthen...

[Ding, enhancement failed!]

Ganlin Niang~!

strengthen!

[Ding! Enhancement successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Fang Staff +3]

"Phew..."

Zhong Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. The success rate of the previous enhancements was very high, which was why he didn't use his talent on the blacksmith panel.

He was afraid that if he used it early on, the success rate would be too high, and all his efforts would be in vain.

[Fang Staff +3]

French equipment

Durability: 50/50

Magic critical strike damage +23%

……

The terms remain the same, only the attributes have been improved.

But this is already pretty good.

Just as he was preparing to use his talent, Zhong Wuyai had a sudden inspiration and took out the intermediate enhancement scroll from his bag.

"Should we focus on success rate or on enhancement and improvement?"

Strengthening to +4 doesn't seem to make much difference; it doesn't significantly improve the success rate...

So...

Zhong Wuyai used his talent to increase his enhancement level by 1, making it level 11.

"May all the gods bless us, we must succeed... we must succeed..."

Then Zhong Wuyai used the intermediate-level enhancement scroll on the fang staff.

[Ding, enhancement successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Fang Staff + ??? ...Ding, error, under repair]

[Ding, data error, rules are being interfered with, under repair]

[Ding, repair complete. Congratulations on obtaining a 3-star Fang Staff +10]

"Heh, I knew it. But +10 isn't bad!"

"Wait, what's 3 stars?"

[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Zhong Wuyai for successfully upgrading his equipment! The upgrade function is now available. Rewards: 1000 Reputation Points, 10 Equipment Upgrade Stones]

"Holy crap, an accidental action unlocked the star-up feature!"

On the other side, Shen Mengli looked at the server-wide announcement and couldn't believe it for a moment...

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible! Star-up is only unlocked at level 50, and you need level 50 equipment to upgrade stars. How is this possible?"

The other person beside Shen Mengli looked at her and felt a little unfamiliar for a moment.

"What's wrong, Mengli? You seem to know about star-level upgrades!"

Shen Mengli realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut her mouth.

"Everything has changed, completely different from what I remember!"

Shen Mengli looked back on all the strange things that had happened to her along the way.

She had been guarding the passage since the disaster began, and entered it without being notified when it first appeared.

The first player to enter the fantasy world, the first player to awaken a talent, and it was an SS-level talent.

Although it was a bit of a shame that she didn't manage to snag an SS-level talent, she practically stole all the treasures from the entire newbie village.

She took almost all the rewards in the starting village.

From the very first server-wide announcement, Shen Mengli was in a daze.

Shouldn't Lin Xihang be the first to kill the BOSS? And shouldn't Sikong Shen be the first to clear the Wolf's Den dungeon by clearing the difficult dungeon?

Zhong Wuyai's sudden appearance caused Shen Mengli to doubt herself time and time again.

Is it because of my own actions that the butterfly effect occurred?

The repeated server-wide announcements left Shen Mengli completely bewildered. If it weren't for her SS-level talent and hidden class, she would have doubted whether she had remembered it wrong.

Almost all server-wide announcements were leaked beforehand.

What left Shen Mengli speechless was that, in her memory, no one had ever cleared the Hell difficulty dungeon in the beginner village. Why was her first clear in this life on Hell difficulty?

There are also first kills of level 20 gold bosses, level 30 silver bosses, and level 40 gold bosses. How come it's so early?

Even with an SSS-level talent at level 10 or so, you should only be able to barely deal with a level 20 gold boss.

A level 40 gold boss is just too far-fetched.

Why is the star-up feature, which is supposed to unlock at level 50, appearing now? Even if you have level 50 equipment, it shouldn't be available at this time!

If you're not at a certain level, you won't even see the star-up option.

Moreover, the prerequisite for star-level upgrade is that the equipment must be enhanced to +10 before it can be upgraded.

But who can upgrade equipment to +10 now?

That's not just luck; it would be impossible without 50 gold coins.

Upgrading from +9 to +10 requires a large amount of materials and 5000 gold coins each time.

This is no longer something that can be achieved through luck. Even among players who were level 100 or above in the previous life, very few had a full set of equipment enhanced to +10.

There aren't that many materials available, and that's for +10 enhancement...

There are also equipment upgrade stones, which can only be obtained from special quests and level 50 bosses, or from level 50 players opening treasure chests or gift boxes...

"Youchu, you do the task first. I'm a bit confused, I need some peace and quiet!"

Chaos has broken out, everything is in chaos, and Zhong Wuyai is like a variable in fate.

All his plans put him ahead of the vast majority of people, a level he could never have reached in his previous life.

But this Zhong Wuyai is completely unpredictable; I have absolutely no recollection of him.

"Impossible. He remembers all the exceptionally capable people from his previous life, unless he also changed his own destiny!"

"Don't overthink it, Mengli. With your talent and the fact that you have a hidden skill, you'll definitely surpass him!"

"No, Youchu, you don't understand. I have something to do now. Excuse me!"

After Shen Mengli finished speaking, she left the team. As for the mission, she no longer cared.

"Sigh, it's happening again. But Mengli, that little girl, never says what she's doing, but every time she does, her strength increases many times over..."

Shen Youchu's sad eyes were filled with endless envy...

Zhong Wuyai hadn't expected this unexpected surprise. He didn't even need to think about the equipment upgrade stones; they were for upgrading equipment.

Zhong Wuyai checked the information about the Fang Staff.

[Fang Staff +10]

Intelligence +170

Attribute 1 [Ruthless]: All attacks deal an additional 5% of magic attack as true damage.

Attribute 2 [Ominous Name]: Ignores 5% magic defense and 5% damage reduction.

Looking at these stats, Zhong Wuyai was speechless. Was this really a level 20 equipment?

Is this the kind of equipment you should have at level 20?

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhong Wuyai stopped fighting monsters.

Instead, they wait for the talent cooldown time.

Unsurprisingly, the fang staff was used for magical attacks.

As for the Tide Belt, it's naturally a cooldown period.

That way, when you need to replace it later, you can just disassemble it and make a better one.

As for the Fang Staff, it won't be replaced for a long time, unless you accumulate enough enhancement scrolls to consider replacing it.

After reaching level 20, Zhong Wuyai's magic attack also changed; 1 point of intelligence increases magic attack by 1.2.

After equipping the Fang Staff, it explodes immediately.

"Sigh~ They're going further and further down the path of perversion!"
