Chapter 140 Adaptation

Xiao Shiqin was taken aback. Qiao Yifan was someone even their boss at Excellent Era was concerned about these days. Now that he was here, what was he going to do?

Xiao Shiqin didn't move his gaze, watching Qiao Yifan step by step as he walked over to the water dispenser, poured a cup, then turned back and placed it on the coffee table in front of Xiao Shiqin. He said, "Senior, have some water..." Then he returned to his seat.

Uh... Xiao Shiqin thought carefully for five minutes, and really felt that Qiao Yifan's actions shouldn't have any hidden meaning, and there weren't any problems, right?

Coming back to his senses in a daze, he was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the whole room was eerily quiet, extremely quiet. The faint sounds were coming from only one direction: the direction where Ye Xiu was.

Was he working on a Silver weapon?

Xiao Shiqin subconsciously wanted to go and take a look, lifting his butt halfway off the seat, but then realized that this was very inappropriate, so he silently sat down again, keeping silent along with everyone else.

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's level was being raised...

Not to mention the complexity of the components, but just the number of rare materials used, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella exceeded the average Silver weapon. However, this excessive use of materials didn't bring an increase in attributes, but rather this strange variety of forms. To ensure this variety of forms, the complexity of the components was naturally even more excessive. Ordinary weapons only needed to maintain one shape, but how could the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella be like that, with so many components that needed to move and change? Even gun-type equipment with slightly more moving parts wasn't as troublesome as the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

Knowing that Ye Xiu was upgrading the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella now, the training room provided an even quieter environment than when Wei Chen was upgrading the Death's Hand.

Xiao Shiqin couldn't run over to Ye Xiu's side to take a look. Sitting on the sofa, he couldn't see much. Tang Rou, Baozi, and Qiao Yifan were facing away from him, and their bodies blocked most of the screen. Wei Chen, Ye Xiu, and Chen Guo across from him were completely blocked by the computer, and he couldn't see their expressions at all. The only thing Xiao Shiqin could see was the expression of Su Mucheng, who was standing next to Ye Xiu.

But what about Su Mucheng? She was just staring intently at Ye Xiu's screen, and he couldn't get any information from her expression.

Xiao Shiqin found it a bit hard to bear.

Speaking up, he was afraid of disturbing them while they were working on a Silver weapon. They let him in without stopping him, which was already giving him a lot of leeway. Now, deliberately causing trouble was something Xiao Shiqin felt was despicable, and he couldn't do such a thing.

But just enduring it like this! He wasn't with these people, so he couldn't understand their anxiety and anticipation. To be cautious and careful along with them was really a bit awkward.

But in the end, Xiao Shiqin was still a pretty decent person, so he endured the awkwardness. The silence in the Happy training room lasted for a full hour. Seeing Su Mucheng suddenly stretch her eyebrows and then straighten her body, Xiao Shiqin realized: It was probably done...

Xiao Shiqin only spoke in his mind. Over there, Chen Guo had already spoken directly, "Is it done?"

"Yeah..." Ye Xiu responded. It was done, the assembly of the components was complete, but was it a success? Ye Xiu had already exited the equipment editor and returned to the game.

Lord Grim, inventory, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella lay there quietly.

The mouse slowly moved over, and the silver attributes of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella were instantly presented to everyone.

Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, level 55.

Attack Speed 5, Weight 2.3 kg, Durability 23.

Physical Attack 592, Magic Attack 592, Constitution +13, Strength +13, Intelligence +13, Spirit +13.

The attributes ended there. Wei Chen on the left and Chen Guo on the right had already leaned their heads over to look. After looking at the attributes for a long time, Chen Guo carefully asked, "Is it successful?"

If it was an improvement, then the increase in basic physical and magic attack attributes, as well as the increase in the four stats, would be obvious. But Chen Guo knew that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had a significant change when it was upgraded from level 45 to 50. Originally, it was just like a blank weapon with ordinary attack data, but at level 50, it suddenly gained an increase in the four stats. Who knew if this level 55 upgrade would also bring some new things? Just maintaining the original appearance's improvement, was that a success?

"It's not bad so far," Ye Xiu replied.

But the inspection of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella wasn't over yet.

Lord Grim exited the arena and went to a free environment. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was equipped in his hand, and with a shake, it became a spear.

Ye Xiu quickly glanced at it. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had changed again, continuing to change form.

Change, change, change, change, change.

Encompassing the weapon forms of six classes, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already been displayed. Ye Xiu's tense expression finally relaxed.

"It's done," Ye Xiu said.

"Awesome!" Chen Guo heavily slapped the table.

"It's only level 55, keep a low profile," Ye Xiu laughed.

"But you said that at level 55, you didn't have any reference data and had to rely on your own research, so the risk was definitely great! Now that it's successful in one try, isn't that awesome enough?" Chen Guo said.

"If all the following stages can be successfully upgraded like this, then it won't be too late to say it's awesome," Ye Xiu said. The level 55 upgrade was certainly cause for joy, but Ye Xiu knew very well that this was just a footprint. The end point of equipment was level 70. Before reaching the ultimate level of 70, everything was just clouds.

After all, it was only level 55 now.

Wei Chen's Death's Hand had reached level 65. This level was already usable for other equipment. After all, the attributes of level 65 Silver equipment were better than level 70 Orange equipment. In the current Glory professional alliance, there were still many teams that hadn't researched suitable Silver equipment for many equipment parts and were temporarily using suitable Orange equipment from the game.

However, that was talking about Silver equipment. When it came to weapons, there was some difference. Because the character's attack attributes accounted for a very, very large proportion, the improvement in strength brought by weapons was definitely the most cost-effective of all equipment, and it was extraordinarily high. That was why the prices of good weapons in the game were always the highest. When professional teams researched Silver weapons, the first thing they considered was also the Silver weapon.

If you're talking about all equipment, then even in the pro circle, there are still quite a few using orange equipment. But if you're only talking about weapons, then there are very few still using orange weapons. Apart from some special ones, some orange weapons with attributes that even silver weapons can't research, such as the Zhanfu that Zhan Lou Lan is currently using, most orange weapons no longer have a place to survive in the pro circle.

Level 65 silver weapons are still more valuable than orange weapons, after all, they have more suitable additional attributes for players and characters. But since almost everyone in the professional circle already has level 70 silver weapons, if you take a level 65 silver weapon, no matter how good the additional attributes are, you'll still lose to the opponent overall.

So, other equipment can be used at level 65, after all, there are still many characters using orange equipment, and level 70 is not as good as level 65 silver equipment. But when it comes to weapons, taking a level 65 weapon into the professional circle means losing to the opponent from the start.

The successful upgrade of the level 55 Myriad Manifestations Umbrella allowed Ye Xiu to breathe a sigh of relief. But what made him happy was mainly that this stage could finally be set, and there was no need to waste any more time here. In terms of value, the level 55 silver weapon was far from enough. Level 60, level 65, and level 70 were still waiting for him!

Regarding these levels, Ye Xiu had of course thought about them, but the plan was not yet mature, and the materials had not been collected, so there was no way to rush it. After this step was successful, Ye Xiu had already exited Lord Grim and leaned back on his seat to rest. The operations in the editor just now had also cost him a lot of energy, even more tiring than directing the four guilds and Zhang Xinjie against each other. It was really because this operation was very, very important.

Xiao Shiqin, who was sitting on the sofa, had long heard that it was already successful. Seeing that Ye Xiu was now completely relaxed, he also stood up and smiled: "Successful? Congratulations!!"

"You heard it all! It's only level 55, not worth congratulating," Ye Xiu said.

"Take it one step at a time. You can't get fat in one bite," Xiao Shiqin said, knowing how to talk.

"You have a point!" Ye Xiu praised, then stood up and walked towards Xiao Shiqin. It was only then that he officially began to entertain him, opening his mouth with extremely concerned, extremely useless small talk: "Are you getting used to Excellent Era?"

"Just arrived, still adapting," Xiao Shiqin said with a smile.

"Is there anything you need my help with? Just say it!" Ye Xiu said.

"You're too kind, senior. Everything's fine," Xiao Shiqin said.

"Facing us in the Challenger League, do you have confidence?" Ye Xiu asked.

"..." Xiao Shiqin was a little speechless. Yes, he was from the All-Stars and also the captain of a strong team. Now he was being made speechless by Ye Xiu's question.

Really, no matter who you asked, whether or not you had confidence was something that someone in a high position should ask someone in a low position, right? If you were really talking about status and achievements in the league, then Xiao Shiqin was definitely in a low position. But now they were comparing teams! Compared to Excellent Era, the Happy team shouldn't be in a higher position, no matter how you looked at it, right?

But now, he was just asking Xiao Shiqin questions with the tone of someone in a higher position. How was Xiao Shiqin supposed to answer?

"Uh... it's okay..." Xiao Shiqin was silent for a moment, and in the end, this answer revealed his embarrassment completely. "Okay" could be taken to mean "It's actually not good, but I'm forcing myself to say it's okay," or it could be understood as "It's actually pretty good," but anyway, it was just a perfunctory answer.

"If you lose to us, then it'll be a big problem. What will you do then? You didn't come to Excellent Era thinking of just playing in the Challenger League, right?" Ye Xiu asked.

Psychological warfare, this was psychological warfare, creating psychological pressure for himself!

Xiao Shiqin understood this very, very well in his heart, but being asked this directly still made him feel flustered. Actually, when his contract with Excellent Era was finalized, Excellent Era had already been relegated, so in the end, the contract was only for one year. This was not announced to the public, naturally as a precaution against Excellent Era failing to return to the professional circle. But now, Xiao Shiqin couldn't use this to answer! Answering that way would make it seem like he didn't have confidence in victory, which was really difficult!
