Chapter 541: Upgrade! High-Grade Spiritual Weapon
Chapter 541: Upgrade! High-Grade Spiritual Weapon
“Mr. Ling, the maintenance department has completed servicing your weapon and armor, and the materials required for your scheduled forging upgrade are ready.”
“Please follow me.”
At this moment,
a man in a suit stepped forward, addressing Ling Zhan politely.
The Hundred Ghosts Fortress offers free equipment maintenance to all combat personnel, with costs covered by the fortress.
After retrieving his gear,
Ling Zhan found his Unrivaled Magic Armor set fully repaired, with no sign of wear.
Of course…
most of Ling Zhan’s battles ended without his opponents even touching him.
In this case, the maintenance costs were minimal, saving both time and effort.
“Let’s upgrade the weapon first…”
“The Thousand Mechanisms Ring as a low-grade spiritual weapon isn’t cutting it anymore.”
“Besides, my experience bar is nearly full; one more major battle should push me past level 70.”
With that in mind,
Ling Zhan headed to his designated forging room.
Forging enhances the fixed attributes and quality of equipment.
Most people forge equipment to enhance its base attributes.
Upgrading quality, however, requires a significant amount of materials.
Fortunately, Ling Zhan was well-prepared.
And the benefits of a weapon upgrade were immense.
For instance, in battle, Ling Zhan frequently relied on the Beast-Killing Sniper Form.
This long-range, high-power weapon was not only effective for taking down enemies but also for ensuring personal safety.
When surrounded by enemies, injury and even death are risks.
But from a distance, such concerns are mitigated.
Ling Zhan approached the forging platform.
It’s common knowledge.
Dwarves are the most skilled in forging.
But there’s another race equally skilled in both forging and technology—the goblins.
The forging platform Ling Zhan now approached costs 50,000 merit points per use—an enormous price.
This platform is the latest goblin technology,
extraordinarily expensive and only buildable by goblins, comparable to a divine blacksmith.
Such devices are not mass-produced.
Even in major frontline forbidden lands, each battlefield only has one.
After each use, it requires a three-day cooldown for its core to reset.
This high-tech goblin forge is in great demand because hiring a divine blacksmith costs significantly more.
Previously, Ling Zhan was able to use divine blacksmiths back at school due to the connections with his deans.
Otherwise, hiring them would be difficult and depend on their mood.
Ling Zhan then took out the necessary forging materials from his storage ring.
Blazing Dragon Blood, S+ grade forging material, obtained only by slaying a dragon in a state of extreme fury.
Stone of the Underworld, S+ grade forging material, acquired from defeating the level 90 world boss Underworld Guardian.
Rainbow Coal, S+ grade forging material, obtained from killing the world boss Seven-Headed Hydra in the highland desert.
Azure Dragon Scale, S+ grade forging material, from the annual shedding of the family’s divine beast, Azure Dragon.
Bifang Scorching Blood Crystal, S+ grade forging material, given by Yun Man, condensed from the essence blood of the divine bird Bifang.
...
Ling Zhan placed these extremely rare and valuable forging materials onto the platform.
Soon…
the materials were disintegrated by the forge into a pile of shimmering powder.
This glittering powder, if sold, would fetch a fortune due to its high-value ingredients.
Placing the Thousand Mechanisms Ring into the forge, he activated the process without hesitation.
The ring was instantly enveloped by the powder, and a profound magical energy surged around it, acting as a catalyst.
After only a few minutes,
the glow subsided, and the newly forged Thousand Mechanisms Ring was carefully delivered by the mechanical arm.
The system panel displayed: Congratulations! Your weapon “Thousand Mechanisms Ring” has been upgraded from a low-grade to a high-grade spiritual weapon!
Not bad…
Considering the investment in rare materials, upgrading by two levels was expected.
All the materials were S+ grade; none were merely S-grade.
If they’d all been SS-grade, it might have even transformed the ring into a sacred relic.
But SS-grade materials are as rare as SS-grade skill books.
Nearly impossible to obtain.
Such items are only found in legendary team dungeons, which require an entire team to conquer and typically drop only one piece.
One SS-grade material split among a team reflects its extreme value.
Generally,
only super-sized guilds like Eden can purchase these materials to forge sacred artifacts.
Enhancing a sacred item’s attributes also requires SS-grade materials.
The upgraded Thousand Mechanisms Ring showed no major visual changes.
But in terms of stats,
the transformation was remarkable.
For its base attributes,
the Thousand Mechanisms Ring now granted 1,300 points to each of the four core attributes!
Nearly matching Ling Zhan’s own stats!
Additionally, new attribute modifiers were unlocked.
【Physical damage increased by 80%, magical damage increased by 60%.】
【In Beast-Killing form, bullet range damage bonus increased by 200% at long range, 120% at close range.】
These were the new attribute effects.
Different from enchantment effects.
“Not bad...”
Ling Zhan nodded slightly.
The Thousand Mechanisms Ring’s stat boost was substantial.
He now wouldn’t have to worry about equipment disparity with his opponents.
He then used some A+ and S-grade materials to forge his Unrivaled Magic Armor.
While it couldn’t upgrade in quality, it did enhance its core stats.
The set’s attributes increased by about 20%.
A considerable boost, while others’ successful forging might only raise stats by 5% to 8%.
Having finished these tasks, Ling Zhan left and headed toward the Hundred Ghosts Arena.
He hadn’t forgotten…
today was the day to compete for a spot.
The system assigned the task, and he had to complete it—otherwise, the penalty would be unpleasant for Ling Zhan.
