This isn't a souls-like game at all.

He opened his personal page and then upgraded the Power.

"Let me see how to upgrade the Power."

Level 140.

属性:生命10＋5，集中21，精力30＋5，力气97＋3，技巧15＋3，智力10，信仰26＋3，神秘10＋10。

Chapter 653: Holy Spell Gold.

Ye Yiyi pondered for a long time about the future upgrade plan of the Power before finally making up his mind to make targeted supplements and improvements based on the shortcomings of the Power.

So what are the shortcomings of the Power?

It's just brute force but lack of skills.

It is impossible to master and use the "infinite power" given by the characteristics of the material world.

In response to this, he decided to invest all 16 attribute points into the faith attribute.

As for why not upgrade skills?

The reason is actually very simple: not handsome enough!

Are you kidding! He even has a bunch of hymns in his inventory that he can't use because of his lack of faith!

From attack to recovery, from support to field, compared to the simple and crude direct explosion of magic, Hymn has a variety of effects and special effects! It can definitely make him an ancient king of the pretentious world!

Although the numerical beauty is beautiful, he already has the super high numerical value of the Paladin, so why should he continue to pursue numerical values ​​on the Power?

As for lack of skills...that's actually not a problem at all.

Not to mention that he can use enhancement hymns and combat skills to improve his skills, he already has "nearly infinite power", so why should he still be obsessed with skills instead of using this power to directly blow up the enemy?

If you are worried that uncontrollable forces will cause unexpected damage, then open and close the fog wall first and then blow up the opponent, so you don't have to worry.

Instead of directly investing points to upgrade skills and improve his control over power, it is better to stick to the principle of being a handsome guy and upgrade his faith directly!

Level 140 → 156.

Faith 26 + 3 → 42 + 3↑

The feature list will then be opened.

[Afterglow of Faith Characteristics (30)]: Enhances the effectiveness and power of attack hymns; attribute attack hymns are more likely to put the enemy into attribute abnormality state, increasing the continuous damage of attribute abnormality state.

"Just a simple damage-increasing trait? No, it seems to be more than that."

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

The former literally increases effect and power, and requires no further explanation.

The latter effect refers to attack hymns with attribute effects such as "Fireball", "Lightning Gun" and "Dark Bullet", which are more likely to cause "attribute abnormality" of the corresponding attributes.

To put it simply, it's like Ye Yiyi throwing a fireball at the enemy.

The fireball will not only explode when it comes into contact with the enemy, but also cause "fire attribute" and "physical attribute" damage.

At the same time, it will also ignite the enemy, causing the enemy to enter the abnormal state of "burning" and inflict long-lasting fire damage.

"So, will abnormal attribute states also show a cumulative table?"

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and looked at the next feature.

[Faith Characteristic Fool (35)]: Opens the clairvoyance, can inspire active thinking, infinite imagination, enhance the ability of fantasy and delusion thinking; enhances the effect and duration of the hymns of enhancement and recovery.

"I remember the level 35 intelligence trait was called 'Psychic', right?"

Ye Yiyi flipped through the pages and found the description of intelligence characteristics.

"Sure enough, the characteristic of 'psychic communication' is also to open up clairvoyance, which can see through the essence of things, spy on subtle weaknesses, and enhance logical thinking ability..."

Looking at the effect of the same-level belief characteristic "Foolish Eyes", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Sure enough, intelligence and faith are corresponding to a certain extent..."

To be honest, he didn't know what the use of "enhancing the ability to think in fantasies and delusions" was?

Could it be that with this characteristic, his fantasies can be more real than those of others?

"How should I put it? His intellectual characteristics are relatively materialistic, but his faith characteristics set aside reality and focus on pure fantasy and delusion. It couldn't be more idealistic!"

However, this is in line with the settings of "faith" and "hymns", so although Ye Yiyi feels strange, he can accept it.

But then again...

The minimum intelligence and faith requirements for all the kings' magic he has obtained so far seem to be exactly the same.

Is this somehow...implying something?

With doubts in his mind, he continued to look down.

【Faith Characteristics Illumination (40)】: Greatly increases the effect, range, power and duration of all hymns;

When casting a hymn with a single-target buff, it can also bless surrounding friendly characters with the same hymn's effect and duration halved.

Any hymn can be released at any position with the help of lock.

"The effect of the lock is still similar to the intelligence trait of the same level, but magic can only be used to attack enemies out of sight, while the hymn can be used on anything."

"This means that I can not only cast spells to attack enemies from a distance, but also buff and restore friendly characters who are elsewhere."

"How should I describe this effect? ​​It's useful, but not particularly useful. It's even worse than the effect that turns a single buff into a group buff."

In simple terms, it can turn "Grave Flower Blessing" into a range-type hymn, allowing all nearby friendly characters to gain a death-free effect at the same time.

"Looking at it this way, this trait is a bit outrageous... Maybe even the effects of the spirit summoning technique can be shared..."

He was secretly shocked, thinking that if the characteristic of intelligence is to focus on improving oneself, then the characteristic of faith is to improve oneself while benefiting others at the same time.

Thinking of this, he looked at the last feature.

【Faith Trait Dogma (45)】: Slightly increases the effect, range, power, and duration of all hymns.

Depending on the faith of the hymn being performed, additional special effects of that faith will be added;

As long as you carry the hymn catalyst with you, you can release the hymn directly.

"This characteristic effect is a bit vague..."

What are the special effects of additional faith?

What does “faith” mean here?

Does it refer to an existence that is worshipped as an "object of faith"?

"It seems that we need to experiment a little bit before we can know the effect clearly..."

As for the other two effects of this feature, the former is a simple numerical addition, which is not much to say, but the latter is a little more interesting.

Before Ye Yiyi's intelligence reaches 95 and she obtains the characteristics of interwoven spirits, she cannot cast spells without using a catalyst.

The "casting" here refers to holding the catalyst in your hand and consuming concentration points to release magic.

Since most magic catalysts are "magic wands", this method of casting spells is not a big problem. After all, in an emergency, you can also use a wooden or metal magic wand to hit people.

But if you fight with a Hymn Catalyst in hand, the situation is completely different.

After all, most of the "Hymns" are ordinary books that are not suitable for use as weapons, and it would be very difficult to hold a thick book in battle.

This characteristic effect can solve this problem.

"In other words, I can string the hymns together with a rope, hang them on my body, and then wield two melee weapons at the same time. I can fight with the weapons directly while also performing the hymns directly."

A similar effect is the hymn catalyst called the "Burial Feather Box" used by the Dark Knights.

The combat skill "Battle Catalyst" that comes with that catalyst.

Its effect is: "A combat catalyst that can be used without holding it in hand, allowing the use of hymns directly through weapons and chanting."

"What a pity, this characteristic effect is of no use to me..."

After understanding the characteristics and effects, Ye Yiyi shook his head slightly disappointed.

He has several "non-holy hymn catalysts" on him, such as the "Burial Feather Inscription Box" mentioned earlier, the "Moon Goddess's Decree" and the "Longzhu Holy Sword Handle".

In addition, he also has the "Spirit Fire Lotus Platform" and the "Pure Divine Blood Greatsword" as "catalyst weapons", so there is no need to use the Hymn Book as a hymn catalyst.

"Overall, the Faith attribute is still a bit low. Even though I've gained a lot of traits, it hasn't produced any qualitative change in my combat effectiveness..."

Ye looked at all the new features one by one and made a summary in his mind.

"But acquiring characteristics is not the main purpose of upgrading my faith."

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his personal panel quietly disappeared. The inventory then appeared in the form of a light screen, showing him all the hymns he had collected so far.

"45 Faith is enough to use those powerful hymns!"

He drank the tea in the cup, stood up, walked to the blacksmith, and handed over the newly acquired Wang Jiang's experience.

"Another master craftsman's experience!"

The old blacksmith solemnly stretched out his hands to take the thin iron plate, gently wiped the dust-free surface, sighed deeply, and looked at Ye Yiyi with a complicated expression.

"So, you've conquered another lost King Craftsman workshop?"

"Lost? That's not quite the right word."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and shook her head slightly.

"For so many years, the Xiti Workshop has actually been under the control of that Master Craftsman Wang... You are also a master craftsman, so you should know what kind of workshop it is."

"How could I not know this?"

The old blacksmith sat back on the bench holding his experience, looking up and down at his new pure white clothes, and said with a slightly raised brow:

"The Xiti Workshop is adjacent to the production site of nearly 80% of the black boxes. It is also an advanced research base for nearly a hundred cutting-edge technologies, including cosmic magic, cosmic biology, magical life science, bizarre phenomenon research, and a fantasy element laboratory."

"In addition, it houses a large number of 'contained objects' from the depths of the universe. It is a very dangerous place."

"During the Winter Gate Battle, the Death Curse Legion didn't dare to directly attack the workshop, fearing that they might accidentally destroy the workshop structure and release some weird things, such as the eye whiskers you encountered earlier..."

"Eyebeard does hold a distinguished position there, but he only fled to the workshop to escape the stagnation curse. He has nothing to do with the workshop itself."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, looked at the old blacksmith who was drinking from his teacup thoughtfully, and continued:

"Now that the Folding Tower has been rebuilt, and I've become the owner of the Sitti Workshop, you'll... Hey!"

"puff!!"

Ye Yiyi suddenly turned sideways to avoid the old blacksmith's unexpected saliva spray.

"You, you, you...you became the owner of the workshop?! Is this true?"

The old blacksmith wiped his wet beard and looked over in astonishment.

“Of course it’s true!!”

Ye Yiyi lowered her head to look at the clean, new clothes, then looked over with a dark face.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you unhappy that I've become the owner of the workshop?"

"It's just a surprise..."

The old blacksmith gave him a strange look.

"After all, you're not a craftsman, and the level of the kings' magic is even more miserable... Ugh."

Seeing Ye Yi's unfriendly expression, the old man quickly changed his words.

"So how did you get ownership of the workshop?"

"I passed Xidi's test and got the ownership from him."

"Test? What type of test?"

The old blacksmith was puzzled.

After Ye Yiyi's brief explanation, the old blacksmith suddenly understood and was not surprised at all.

"I think so. When it comes to combat prowess, you're truly unbeatable... So, you specifically mentioned the workshop. Are you planning on having me come over to help?"

"Yes."

Ye Yiyi nodded. "There are only a few Abyssal Dead in the workshop right now, and the number of Skilled Slaves is seriously insufficient even after I killed them all... Of course, you don't have to stay there all the time. Just go over and take a look when you have time, and lend a hand. That's all."

"It's no problem to help."
