Enhancing equipment is also a technical skill.
Although NPC blacksmiths can also enhance equipment, some players have a higher success rate than NPCs, such as Fatty.
Zhang Pingfan was also very interested in enhancing equipment, so Dou Youyou and Zhang Pingfan watched Fatty enhance equipment intently.
Fatty's equipment enhancement was similar to Zhang Pingfan's equipment demonization; it all depended on the success rate.
A total of 12 pieces of equipment and 500 enhancement materials.
It took a total of two and a half hours, and all 500 enhancement materials were consumed.
Fatty's face was covered with beads of sweat.
"Sister, all the materials are used up, and all the equipment has been enhanced, but the enhancement levels are not all maxed out! The success rate is truly embarrassing. If you're not a tycoon, you really can't afford to play with this enhancement system!"
Dou Youyou asked urgently, "How did it go?"
Fatty wore a bitter smile.
Zhang Pingfan was also very curious about the final outcome.
"Weapons and armor are more important, so I used most of the enhancement materials on them. Fortunately, they were all enhanced to +10!"
Zhang Pingfan silently breathed a sigh of relief. The most important sword and armor had been enhanced to the max level, which was already very good.
"Fatty did a good job!"
Fatty said with a blush, "The armor and weapons have indeed been enhanced to the max level, but the remaining 10 pieces of equipment are a bit disappointing. The highest enhancement is +8, and the lowest is only +6. According to the set bonuses from enhancement, your set, Sister, will only have the set bonuses of +6!"
Seeing Fatty looking a bit dejected, Dou Youyou comforted him, "It's okay, you've already done a great job!"
Zhang Pingfan also said, "Yes, it's much better than I imagined. With 500 enhancement materials, this result is already very difficult to achieve. Youyou, put on all your equipment and see how much your combat power has increased!"
Dou Youyou eagerly put on the equipment one by one.
When Dou Youyou reached level 50, Zhang Pingfan had picked out a set of level 50 equipment for her. Except for the weapon, everything else was chosen by Zhang Pingfan for Dou Youyou. The worst attributes were all sky-blue.
Dou Youyou's staff was an evolving type, and it would continuously grow according to her level, so Dou Youyou never needed to change her weapon.
When all the equipment was worn again, Dou Youyou's combat power directly broke through 100,000.
"Master, I already have 120,000 combat power!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded. If he remembered correctly, before the equipment demonization and enhancement, Dou Youyou's combat power was less than 80,000.
As expected, equipment demonization and enhancement could bring players a significant increase in combat power.
"Very good!"
Fatty, standing beside them, said enviously, "Sister, your combat power is too terrifying! I've only just reached 40,000 combat power, and you're already at 120,000. It's true that in any game, it's the tycoons who rule!"
Dou Youyou patted Fatty's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother. When you reach level 50, Master will give you a decent set of level 50 equipment as well. However, it seems Master can only provide equipment up to level 50!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "Yes, to get equipment above level 50, you must go to the Savage City. Fatty, you need to work hard. As my disciple, you cannot fall behind!"
"Master, don't worry, I've been leveling up desperately recently!"
"Yes, remember to collect more demonization materials and enhancement materials yourself. These items will be very important once you reach the Savage City!"
Fatty only then realized why Dou Youyou had suddenly started demonizing and enhancing equipment – it was because of the Savage City.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. It seems the price of demonization and enhancement materials will skyrocket in the future!"
"Yes, demonizing and enhancing equipment to head to the Savage City is a prerequisite!"
"Understood, Master. I won't delay any longer; I'll go level up quickly!"
"Yes. By the way, how are you doing with the Demon Slave dungeons lately?"
Dou Youyou said, "It's going well. Our coordination is quite默契 now. After so many days of practice, we can clear the Demon Slave dungeon in at most half an hour. We've found a way to defeat the King-tier Demon Slaves!"
"Good. Continue to improve your strength. When you can face King-tier Demon Slaves one-on-one by yourselves, you will have graduated!"
"Yes, Master!"
After Fatty left, Dou Youyou also headed to the Savage City. She wanted to try out how her current set of equipment would perform.
[Ding! The Demon Slave dungeons are quite mature now. After some adjustments in recent days, I believe they can be opened to all players to allow them to adapt to Demon Slaves in advance!]
Zhang Pingfan shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. The main force of players is currently around level 40. Opening the Demon Slave dungeons at this time is not a good thing. I think it would better stimulate players' abilities if the Demon Slave dungeons were opened when the main player level reaches 50!"
[Ding! Alright, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?]
Zhang Pingfan's brow furrowed. This sounded like no good news at all.
"What's going on? Don't scare me!"
[Ding! Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?]
"The bad news, please. I prefer to prepare for the worst."
[Ding! The bad news is that the barrier around Blue Star is about to collapse!]
Zhang Pingfan's heart skipped a beat. This was truly the worst of bad news.
"Then what's the good news!"
[Ding! The good news is that after attacking the Blue Star barrier this time, all the Demon Slaves were killed by the barrier's counterattack!]
Zhang Pingfan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. All the Demon Slaves were dead, which was much better news than the barrier about to break.
"You scared me to death! Can't you speak without making such dramatic pauses? 'Good news, bad news' – as long as all the Demon Slaves are dead, that's good news!"
[Ding! All the Demon Slaves are indeed dead, but before they died, they transmitted information back to their home planet. The fastest journey from their home planet to Blue Star is one year and three months. This means your Blue Star has one year and three months of peaceful days left.]
"Damn, that fast?"
[Ding! Yes, theoretically it's one year and three months, but in reality, it could be faster or slower!]
Zhang Pingfan lay back in his chair, looking dejected.
"With only a year left, do you think humanity can truly resist the Demon Slaves?"
[Ding! Unknown!]
"…Alright, it seems we need to hurry. Otherwise, we won't even know how we died in a year. What is the level of their most powerful Demon Slave?"
[Ding! Demon Emperor, a monster that can crush Blue Star with one hand. But don't worry, that level won't come.]
Zhang Pingfan breathed a sigh of relief; at least the most powerful wouldn't come.
[Ding! However, a monster that can crush Blue Star with both hands will definitely come!]
"…Then what's the point of resisting? Let's just be destroyed!"
