My talent is 1.

Shen Mengli was furious when she saw that Yang Yimu was alone.

"Didn't I say your name was Zhong Wuyai? What are you doing here if Zhong Wuyai isn't here?"

"The boss is busy. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll pass it on!"

Shen Mengli looked at Yang Yimu, and finally felt helpless.

Zhong Wuyai must have some secrets he doesn't want others to know; it's already quite good that he's allowed someone to pass on a message.

"Tell Zhong Wuyai that the obsidian is related to several hidden quests, and it absolutely must not be used in advance, otherwise many quests will be permanently lost."

Yang Yimu hadn't expected Shen Mengli to say these things; he thought it was some kind of deal, or something related to the guild totem...

"How did you know that!"

"Don't worry about all that, just tell Zhong Wuyai what I said!"

Yang Yimu wasn't sure if it was true or not, so he sent the message to Zhong Wuyai first.

Zhong Wuyai, who was organizing materials in the warehouse, frowned deeply.

"That's strange, how does she know all this?"

Could she be a pawn of the person behind this fantastical world?

That's not right either, it's completely unnecessary. The GM wouldn't care about hidden quests or anything like that.

Looking back at Shen Mengli's several server-wide announcements...

Opening a dungeon can be attributed to luck, but an epic boss is a different story.

The first kill of a level 30 epic boss. If my talent is only SSS level, even if I bring all the players from Xianyang Palace, we are no match for it.

Shen Mengli and her companion defeated the epic boss.

In other words, Shen Mengli already knew about the BOSS, including his weaknesses and strategies.

Beta tester?

But do beta testers really exist? Everyone entered the Divine Fantasy World at the same time. Before the original world was destroyed, even if she could come to the Divine Fantasy World, how could she go back?

Reset the level? Or rebuild the account?

That's not right. Dying three times means permanent death. How could you possibly rebuild the account?

Obsidian is a material used in the Divine Furnace, meaning that using obsidian will activate the Divine Furnace.

Will activating the Divine Furnace have some effects, similar to activating Star Upgrade?

That should be the case, but how did Shen Mengli know that?

She can foresee the future? ...No, she knows what will happen after the divine furnace is activated...

Tell Shen Mengli that I've added her as a friend!

After Yang Yimu notified Shen Mengli, Shen Mengli couldn't wait to browse through the friend request list.

It took me a long time to find Zhong Wuyai's name.

As soon as they added each other, Shen Mengli sent a message to Zhong Wuyai.

"Don't open the divine furnace, or the consequences will be severe; many things will disappear."

"Who are you? How do you know all this?"

"Don't ask me about that. In short, starting the Divine Furnace ahead of time will make many things unpredictable. Also, a word of advice: NPCs will all turn into enemies."

"NPCs are turning into enemies? What's going on here?"

Sure enough, this woman knows a lot...

Thinking about his identity as a transmigrator, Zhong Wuyai seemed to have considered another possibility...

"Are you a reincarnated person?" Zhong Wuyai asked tentatively.

Shen Mengli stared wide-eyed at the message Zhong Wuyai had sent, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"You too?" Shen Mengli's hands trembled as she thought of many things...

"No, my situation is rather special!"

Who would believe that? You've practically taken over all the server-wide announcements, and you can even start star-up ahead of time? Nobody would believe you're not a reborn player.

That's true. If I were to tell anyone the words "Divine Furnace," they would definitely ask me about the Divine Furnace and the hidden quests.

This guy didn't care at all; instead, he deduced his own identity, which just goes to show that he knew...

Shen Mengli smiled as she looked at Zhong Wuyai's friends list, finally feeling less alone.

What are your plans before reaching level 100?

Zhong Wuyai was a little confused. What did this mean? What could one plan before reaching level 100? Naturally, it was to level up and become stronger, right?

No, could it be... something will happen after reaching level 100?

What happens after reaching level 100?

Looking at the reply, Shen Mengli was a little confused. Was this guy faking it?

"I'm talking to you about something serious!"

"I'm asking you seriously!"

That guy is really awful.

Could it be that he really didn't know? Absolutely not...

"The Tower of Babel will unlock after you reach level 100. Our enemies won't just be NPCs, but also gods!"

Ganlin's mother, is this really that exciting?

However, Zhong Wuyai also confirmed that this woman was indeed a reincarnated person.

"Come to the Cloudsea City warehouse and let's talk face-to-face!"

Shen Mengli didn't say much, and led Shen Youchu toward the warehouse.

Yang Yimu followed behind. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he knew from Shen Mengli's words that they were talking about some secret.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Zhong Wuyai immediately sent the two away.

"Yimu, go back to the mine." Turning to Shen Youchu, he added, "You should avoid the area for a while!"

Shen Youchu was sizing up Zhong Wuyai when she was suddenly told to leave, which made her a little annoyed.

Who does he/she think he/she is?!

"Youchu, I'll talk to him. You go over there first!"

"Mengli~ you~!"

"Don't ask anymore, I'll tell you everything!"

"Hmph! They always say that, and then they always drag me into doing hard labor!"

Despite saying that, Shen Youchu still left.

"I want to know what will happen next?"

"You're a reincarnated person just like me, didn't you know that?"

"I've already said I'm not like that. My situation is rather special, but my combat power is definitely many times greater than yours!"

"Tch~ Anyone can talk big!"

"Leaving aside all this nonsense, what exactly will happen when the divine furnace is activated?"

"Some NPC restrictions will be lifted, which will cancel the quests. Many quests and hidden quests will disappear because the NPCs will do them on their own after the restrictions are lifted."

"This is quite troublesome... What about the Divine Furnace?... What's the hidden quest related to the Divine Furnace?"

"I cannot tell you, but the reward will be absolutely generous, and it will be a one-of-a-kind reward."

"That shows a lack of sincerity. The obsidian is in my hands; I can go to the capital to activate the divine furnace anytime. As for the vanished hidden quest, it wasn't mine; if it's gone, it's gone. What's it to me!"

"I can give you an S-rank and an SS-rank hidden quest!"

"That's not enough, I want the hidden quest for the Divine Furnace!"

"No, the rewards from the Divine Furnace are very special. One of the most important items is unique to this server. However, I can give you the other rewards from the Divine Furnace!"

"Add another S-rank hidden quest, and also, I want to know what the rewards are for the Divine Furnace quest, and what its use is!"

"Okay." In any case, the purpose of that reward will eventually be discovered.

"Let's talk about the mission!"

Shen Mengli then informed Zhong Wuyai of the trigger conditions and precautions for the mission.

Zhong Wuyai didn't ask any more questions.

With his talent, as long as it's not a unique material, if the reward is just equipment or items, unless it's a certain function, he can obtain the rest through equipment, and even have better attributes than others.

One of a kind... Ha... If conditions permit, I'll make sure everyone in Xianyang Palace has one.

Shen Mengli finally couldn't help but ask, "Is your talent level SSS?"

"I guess so. What, is there a problem?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Based on what I know about SSS-level talents, it's normal for them to be so strong in the late game that they have no rivals, but the gap in the early game shouldn't be this big!"

What do you think my talent level is?

"Super SSS?"

"Do you have that kind of talent?"

"I've never seen one. If anyone has, it's you!"

"Then just accept that as true!"

Zhong Wuyai smiled and left the warehouse, heading to the jewelry store.

Looking at Zhong Wuyai's retreating figure, Shen Mengli felt that she couldn't see through this person and didn't understand what he was thinking.

Normally, shouldn't there be some wrangling? The initial plan was to use information about the five hidden missions to make a deal with Zhong Wuyai.

I didn't expect that it would be over in just three.

The stats of the five-piece Wolf Fang set aren't anything special, except for the somewhat disappointing 451 points of magic attack.

But now that I already have tens of thousands of magic attacks, there's no need to worry about this.

Moreover, the attributes of the new equipment are definitely higher than those of the Wolf Fang Set.

The first thing to be removed was naturally the red jade bracelet.

Then there's the Ghost Ring, with its +1 Soul Resistance attribute. I don't know what it's used for yet, but it will definitely be useful in the future.

Zhong Wuyai first disassembled the two pieces of equipment.

The red jade bracelets were unsurprisingly made of green and white crystals.

Zhong Wuyai was somewhat surprised by what he found after dismantling the Ghost Ring.

A soul stone was extracted from it.

Could this thing possibly increase soul resistance?

Zhong Wuyai tried handing over the soul stones and some materials to the blacksmith at the jewelry shop, watching with anticipation as the blacksmith crafted the equipment...

[Ding Deke's Obsession] (Ring)

Durability: 26/26

Grade: Black Iron

Wearing level: 20

Magic Attack +35

Spirit +10

Soul Attack +1

Question marks appeared above Zhong Wuyai's head.

Soul attack?

Soul resistance has turned into soul attack?

This is interesting.

Zhong Wuyai used his talent on soul attacks, and then went to the disassembler to disassemble the items.

I obtained 8 Soul Stones.

Keep making equipment; these are rare items, so making more shouldn't be a problem.

I crafted another piece of jewelry that grants +5 Soul Attack and +3 Soul Resistance.

Zhong Wuyai waited for an hour, then continued...

With a soul attack of 51 and a soul resistance of 3, a total of 38 soul stones were dismantled.

Of course, as the amount of materials increases, the cost also continues to rise.

I don't have many gold coins right now. How long is that good-for-nothing Zhang Haitao going to drag this out?

Chung Wu-yai continued making jewelry.

Soul Attack +30, Soul Resistance +8

Other attributes don't matter. He doesn't know how many white crystals he throws in each time, but he has plenty of them anyway.

It only costs 20 green crystals each time, no more. These are needed for later enhancements. He can't possibly upgrade all items to silver grade, otherwise there wouldn't be enough silver crystals.

Two pieces at most; the rest must be bronze or iron.

While waiting, Zhong Wuyai also asked Shen Mengli...

"I need a large quantity of blue and silver crystals. What's the best way to do this?"

Shen Mengli replied very quickly.

"You can exchange them at the Grandmaster Disassembler in the Royal Capital. 10 white crystals can be exchanged for one green crystal, and so on. This doesn't matter; you can go exchange them now!"

Can this be done?

Zhong Wuyai glanced at it and sent a message in the guild chat...

"If you want to upgrade your equipment, contact me. I'll trade you crystals or a lot of equipment."

I immediately bought a level 15 ring, enhanced it to +1, and then used the talent...

[Ding, data error... Ding... Repairing... Ding, repair complete]

Jade Ring +10

☆

French equipment

Durability: 20/20

Grade: Black Iron

Magic Attack +730

Spirit +146

+11 equipment became +10 and zero stars.

Actually, it can't be considered sporadic.

Upgrading equipment requires one Enlightenment Stone and 500 gold coins to unlock the star level before it can be upgraded.

It looks like it's just started its star-up process.

This kind of equipment has normal star-up attributes, there's no problem, it will stay like this from now on.

The guild members were a bit puzzled when they saw the message. Wasn't the guild leader the Destroyer Mage? Why was he doing this kind of business?

"Could it be that the guild leader has started a secondary profession?"

"Who knows?"

Suddenly, the attributes of the jade ring were revealed, and everyone's eyes widened.

"Reinforcement +10? What the hell is this?!"

"And what's with that star? Is it for upgrading equipment?"

"Holy crap, boss, are you crazy? Upgrading equipment costs so much money and materials, why are you wasting it on this useless gear?!"

"Exactly! Wouldn't it be better to upgrade to silver equipment? Or even bronze or crystal would be fine!"

What a waste!

"But honestly, the enhancement attributes are really high!"

"Seven hundred and thirty magic attack, that's insane!"

"Guild Master, I have 100 blue crystals, could you please help me upgrade my bracelet?"

"Bring the materials and gold to the disassembler, and it's best to bring some other equipment as well!"

"Coming right away!"

"Come one at a time, don't fight over it, don't you want the mine anymore?"

"It's alright, nobody dares to come. If anyone tries to take it, we can just fight them back!"

These guys... While what they said makes sense, at this stage no one can beat them.

The damage from the Five Elements attack is insane. These hundred people attacking together could wipe out ten thousand players...

A strange sight appeared in Cloudsea City: a group of people were at the Disassembler's place, while Zhong Wuyai was divided into groups of ten, handing over equipment, crystals, and gold coins that needed to be enhanced...

Then he dismantled the equipment they handed over one by one. There were a few pieces of equipment with special attributes, which Zhong Wuyai kept and would dismantle after his talent cooldown.

"Alright, your group, come with me. The rest of you can finish tomorrow. This will take a long time to complete!"

Then, Zhong Wuyai would get a piece of equipment that was enhanced to +10 every hour.

The highest-ranking piece of silver equipment had a physical attack of over 1000, and with the added strength and his own attributes, the attack exceeded 2000.

It has to be said that these guys are quite capable; they managed to get their hands on this kind of equipment.

"Thanks, boss! Hahaha, +10 enhancement! Holy crap, these stats are awesome! I'm going to take on the second-floor boss!..."

Another hour passed, and Zhong Wuyai upgraded a shield. Although it was only bronze-level, its attributes left Zhong Wuyai somewhat bewildered...

[Fine Iron Shield +10]

☆

Durability: 50/50

Grade: Bronze

Wearing level: 15

Health +7550

Physical defense +163

Magic Defense +163

Restores +2 health per second

This terrifying attribute made Zhong Wuyai tremble slightly.

If instead of further enhancing the talent, you could create an enhancement scroll and then... apply the talent to physical defense...

Can the BOSS even damage me?

Gu Yan stared wide-eyed at his shield's attributes and let out a strange cry...

"Oh~ Wow~... Oh wow wow wow~... Tsk tsk tsk~... Boss, you're awesome~...!"

"It's getting late. Let's pitch the tents right here and everyone go to sleep. Yang Kaisen, wake me up in an hour, and I'll get your gear ready!"

No one understood the reason, but no one said much. Seeing the terrifying stats of the two people's equipment, they were all stunned. Thinking that they would soon have such equipment, they were all excited and couldn't sleep at all.

Zhong Wuyai had no interest in chatting with them and went to his tent to sleep.

Of course, the tent can be set to guild mode, allowing guild members to enter...

"Boss... wake up, wake up!"

Sigh... Zhong Wuyai felt somewhat helpless.

I felt like I hadn't even fallen asleep when I was woken up...

"Hehehe~ Boss, it's my turn, it's my turn!"

"Wait a minute, Zhong Wuyai skillfully took his equipment to enhance it, but he failed twice in a row."

This is ridiculous! A bronze-grade item failed to upgrade twice even to +1. What the hell?

After paying for and providing materials, the enhancement was finally successful.

With a flick of the finger, a talent was added, and the familiar error message and repair prompts sounded. Then, a piece of equipment with an unlocked star level appeared.

[Gomat Wristband +10]

☆

Durability: 32/32

Grade: Bronze

Wearing level: 15

Physical Attack +725

Agility+156

Sunder Armor+5

Zhong Wuyai never expected that the +10 enhancement of this equipment would be so terrifying, almost comparable to that steel shield.

With this equipment, plus the various bonuses from the guild totem, the people of Xianyang Palace can move freely in and out of the third floor even without their own help.

It's not like the Purple Zombie King and his group can't mess with it...

It wasn't until late at night that the group's equipment was fully upgraded.

Zhong Wuyai was exhausted. He had to continue tomorrow. At least half of the guild members needed to upgrade their equipment, so he had to put his own equipment aside for later.

While waiting, Zhong Wuyai asked Shen Mengli a question.

"Do you have reinforced rollers? Low-end or mid-range, it doesn't matter!"

"What do you need this for? You already have upgradeable equipment!"

"This is only one? I want to get another one!"

Listen to this, listen to this... Is this even human language?

Still working on one?

What does +10 enhancement mean? If you're unlucky, you could lose tens of thousands of gold coins, and the material consumption is terrifying.

You've got some good ideas, you even want to get one...

"Then make me a star-level piece of equipment too!"

Zhong Wuyai didn't reply. "Here, you can have this. You won't be flying anymore."

"These things, well, it depends on luck..."

"Alright, alright, I only have two low-level enhanced scrolls, no mid-level ones."

There is a higher-end one, but I can't give it to you...

"Tell me your terms!"

"You're giving me 5 equipment upgrades!"

"impossible!"

"That... a piece of gold equipment!"

"That's possible, but we don't have it right now!"

"You have so many gift boxes and treasure chests, don't tell me you haven't opened a single one."

"I haven't opened any yet, I'll wait until I reach level 30!"

"Alright, one piece of silver equipment, that's the bottom line, I can't go any lower!"

"The value of a scroll doesn't seem to be that high!"

"A 50% success rate, no gold or crystal materials required, and if you use it after upgrading to +2, there's a 50% chance of directly upgrading to +3 without any cost. Isn't that worth it!"

Of course it's not worth it, but he can't say that out loud; he still needs the reel.

Moreover, the enhanced scroll would be incredibly useful in his hands, making it another super-grade divine piece of equipment.

"Deal! What kind do you need? I'll try to see if I can make it!"

"I'm a magic user, so I prefer jewelry. The rest is up to you!"
