[Cave Reminder: Refurbish Gem +3]
[Cave Reminder: Durability Gem +3]
[Cave Reminder: Lapis Lazuli lv1 +2]
[Cave Reminder: Inferior Reinforcement Stone +3]
...
Treasure chest opened.
Judging by their names, they were all related to equipment.
[Durability Gem: Upon use, restores 200 points of equipment wear.]
[Refurbish Gem: Upon use, restores 500 points of equipment durability, causes equipment wear, and reduces equipment durability cap.]
[Lapis Lazuli lv1: Inlay gem, Strength +5.]
[Inferior Reinforcement Stone: Used to reinforce equipment with a reinforcement level below 3. Has a chance to increase the current equipment’s reinforcement level by 1.]
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Equipment had durability?
He lowered his gaze to his wrist.
[Perfect Adventurer's Bracer]
[Defense +6]
[Agility +1]
[Strength +2]
[1% chance to trigger Wings of Freedom]
[Wings of Freedom: Upon trigger, makes the user lighter, increasing Agility by 10 points for 30 seconds.]
[Durability: 1200/67]
Dataization was quite something.
He could actually see the specific attributes of his equipment.
Wings of Freedom.
It should refer to the pair of silver wings on the Adventurer set.
No wonder Chen Yu felt much lighter when he was in the Undead Dungeon. He hadn't paid much attention at the time while in the midst of battle.
He hadn't expected it to be an equipment special effect triggering.
The equipment durability was only 67 points.
It wasn't surprising, as his current equipment was indeed in tatters.
"How do I use these gems?"
Chen Yu muttered.
His current equipment was in a terrible state, and he urgently needed to refurbish it. Otherwise, if the durability reached 0 and the equipment disappeared—
He wouldn't even have a place to cry.
After all, this was the Lucky Set, his treasure trove.
"Just crush the gem onto the equipment," said the little demon sitting on Chen Yu's shoulder, dangling its legs and speaking in a lazy tone.
"Why didn't you come to warm my bed last night?"
"Hmm?"
The little demon's eyebrows shot up, and it gripped its trident.
"Bold of you, lowly servant, to actually think of defiling your great master! Watch me... mmmph..."
As the little demon was shouting, Chen Yu blocked its mouth with a single finger.
Chen Yu didn't say much else.
Following the little demon's instructions, he took out the Refurbish Gem and the Durability Gem. He first placed the Refurbish Gem on the bracer and gently crushed it.
Before crushing it, Chen Yu had confirmed multiple times.
The steps couldn't be wrong.
There was a specific order for using Refurbish Gems and Durability Gems. If he used the Durability Gem first, Chen Yu's equipment's durability cap wouldn't have been worn down yet.
Using the Durability Gem would be a waste.
The gem was crushed.
Chen Yu watched as the crushed gem turned into crystalline powder and sprinkled onto the bracer.
A magical scene unfolded.
The bracer, which had been worn down to a sorry state, miraculously became much newer. The holes and cracks on the bracer also recovered considerably.
[Cave Reminder: Refurbishment successful.]
[Perfect Adventurer's Bracer durability restored by 500 points, equipment durability cap reduced by 100 points.]
After seeing the notification, Chen Yu looked at the bracer again.
[Durability: 1100/567]
The durability cap was reduced by 100 points.
The Durability Gem restored 200 points of durability. If he used it now, he would waste 100 points for nothing. Chen Yu decided to place the gem into his bracelet instead.
Subsequently, Chen Yu repaired his chestplate and leg armor in the same way.
Instantly—
The once tattered Lucky Set was restored to about fifty percent of its new condition.
"This stone is good."
With the Refurbish Gems and Durability Gems, he no longer needed to fear equipment wear.
"Look at your ignorant appearance," the little demon, floating in mid-air with its arms crossed, scoffed. "The lowest-grade Refurbish Gem has you this ecstatic. In my Demon King City, such gems aren't even fit to appear in my resource vault. If you go out like this... don't say you're my servant."
"Tsk!"
Chen Yu clicked his tongue, then looked at her with admiration.
"Wow, so Barbara the Great Demon King is that awesome."
"Of course," the little demon raised its chin proudly. "Back then, I was the most successful among many Demon Kings. The Great Demon King, you know? I had several subordinate Demon Kings. Once upon a time..."
"And then they were destroyed?"
"I..."
The smug little demon was rendered speechless by Chen Yu for a long time.
"Calm down, why should I bother with a servant?" the little demon lightly patted its chest. Chen Yu glanced at her and grinned. "The once invincible Great Demon King is now suppressed by a mere servant with a single finger. By the way, Great Demon King, you even lost yourself to me!"
"Cough..."
Immediately, the little demon coughed.
"Aren't you going to reinforce your sword?"
"Changing the subject?" Chen Yu chuckled. "No way, no way, the great Demon Barbara is also changing the subject?"
"Your sword will become very strong when reinforced."
"Heh..."
This way of changing the subject was too low-level, like shouting at the sky for a meteor when being surrounded and cornered, hoping to escape.
Chen Yu silently watched the little demon, staring at the miniature Barbara until her face flushed red.
"You reinforce it!"
The annoyed little demon blurted out.
"Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Ha!
Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
It must be said, the little demon looked quite cute when she was angry.
He raised his hand and tapped her little head.
Chen Yu then took out his colorful sword.
"Reinforce it?"
"Yes, otherwise what else would you reinforce? Since it's reinforcement, you should naturally reinforce the strongest equipment," the little demon said as a matter of course.
"Don't you want to test the waters?"
Chen Yu felt it was best to test reinforcement with junk.
He didn't care about failure.
What he cared about was whether the weapon would shatter upon reinforcement.
"No need. With me here, what are you panicking about?" the little demon pouted. "I've reinforced more equipment in my life than you've eaten grains of rice. Besides, Inferior Reinforcement Stones only go up to +3. At most, it will fail, but it won't shatter."
"Are you sure?" Chen Yu looked doubtful.
"Are you doubting me?" the little demon widened its eyes and put its hands on its hips. "Would I, the Great Demon King of the Cave, trick a little nobody like you?"
"Please warm my bed."
The little demon's face instantly froze, and it said speechlessly.
"Hey, Chen Yu, you're a grown man after all. You still can't get over this, can you?" the little demon said with disdain. "Is it that big of a deal? Is your perverted mind overloaded? Are you thinking about sleeping with others every day? Do you know what my true form is to you? I'm a giant python!"
Originally, the little demon wanted to scare Chen Yu, but unexpectedly, Chen Yu's eyes seemed to become even more excited.
"You want this good thing too?"
"Huh?"
"Please, restore your true form, I beg you."
