Chapter 457 Current Status of Player Enhancement
"bite--"
The ethereal metallic vibrato echoed through the spacious hall of the Supreme Building, its lingering sound reverberating.
A dazzling burst of dark golden light suddenly erupted from the anvil.
As the light faded, the Jade Emperor Sword remained suspended silently in mid-air.
The originally simple sword surface was now covered with a layer of golden light that looked almost tangible, and even the air around the blade was slightly distorted by its sharpness.
[Ding! Enhancement successful. Jade Emperor Sword's current enhancement level: +9.]
Base attack power +50%
[New affix added: Armor Penetration (Ignores 20% of the target's physical defense).]
Chen You stared at the data on the panel, and his face, which had been flushed from the consecutive failures, finally relaxed.
A 50% increase in attack power.
This is just the value shown on the system panel. If combined with his mid-Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power, the power of this sword strike would increase exponentially.
Before he could properly admire the brand-new flying sword, a glaring blood-red banner suddenly appeared directly above his line of sight.
[World Announcement: A divine weapon has appeared, its might shaking all directions! Congratulations to player "Chen You" for upgrading their main weapon to +9! Combat power soars, becoming invincible! Want to become even stronger? Quickly reach level 50 to experience the upgrade function!]
The banner remained at the top of the field of vision of all players on the server for a full ten seconds, accompanied by a rousing bugle call.
Chen You was stunned.
He turned to Hill, who maintained a professional fake smile behind the counter, and pointed to the ceiling: "Trying to use me as a free dating spot?"
"This is to promote your reputation, boss," Hill said sincerely, his hands clasped in front of him.
"You spent so many gold coins and went through so much trouble to upgrade it to +9, how could you not report it? In your words, this is emotional value."
"Thank you," Chen You said, rolling his eyes.
However, looking at the dazzling Jade Emperor Sword, the passion in his heart was rekindled.
If it succeeded with a 30% probability, what does that mean?
After breaking more than ten times and using so many anti-explosion talismans, I've definitely reached the "guaranteed success" range determined by the system!
"Got it, the padding strategy, huh?" Chen You sneered, skillfully stuffing the newly bought anti-explosion talisman into the enhancement slot, along with a handful of enhancement stones.
[Upgrading to +10 requires: 100 Gold Coins, 256 Upgrade Stones.]
Success rate: 25%
So what if it's 25%? When it comes to metaphysics, numbers are just paper tigers!
Chen You pressed the button decisively.
"bite--"
[Enhancement successful. Jade Emperor Sword's current enhancement level: +10.]
Chen You's eyes lit up. Sure enough!
continue!
"bite--"
[Enhancement successful. Jade Emperor Sword's current enhancement level: +11.]
"bite--"
[Enhancement successful. Jade Emperor Sword's current enhancement level: +12.]
Three crisp metallic clangs rang out in succession, the light on the anvil turned deep purple, and the sword energy of the Jade Emperor Sword almost cracked the bluestone floor of the Supreme Tower.
At the same time, the sky above the Origin Realm turned completely blood red.
[World Announcement: Unbelievable! Player "Chen You" has upgraded his weapon to +10! Awe-inspiring power!]
[World Announcement: A miracle has occurred! Player "Chen You" has upgraded his weapon to +11! The world has changed!]
[World Announcement: Unprecedented! Player "Chen You" has upgraded his weapon to +12! ...]
The three announcements were like three heavy hammer blows, slamming into the heads of all players on the server.
……
Endless Abyss Dungeon.
Thalos, a berserker of the Titan race, is wielding a giant axe in melee combat with a level 90 abyssal dragon.
His body was covered in bulging muscles, and the ring-shaped protrusion on his forehead flashed with violent lightning.
As the top player on the leaderboard and the only one in the entire server to wield a +13 weapon, he swung his axe, sending dragon scales flying everywhere.
Suddenly, a series of blood-red banners floated across the top of my field of vision.
Saros abruptly stopped, his giant axe halting in mid-air.
"Chen You? +12?"
A hint of surprise flashed in his large, bell-like eyes.
The "Titan's Wrath" weapon in his hand was able to reach +13 by exhausting the resources of the entire Titan Temple guild, collecting countless enhancement stones, and spending decades to achieve it.
That human named Chen You just reached +9 a few minutes ago, and now he's already +12?
"Roar!" The abyssal dragon seized the moment when he was distracted and lashed Saros hard in the chest with a dragon tail whip.
The top-ranked player was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing through three stone pillars.
"Guild Master!" The guild members were shocked.
Saros climbed out of the ruins, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared intently at the banner in the sky, and gritted his teeth.
"Investigate! Find out exactly what kind of vulnerability Chen You has discovered!"
……
In the City of Eternal Night, the second-ranked Moon Arrow stood quietly on the treetop, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind.
She looked at the banner in the sky, her long, pointed ears twitching slightly.
"Dual-wielding melee mage..." she murmured softly, a deep sense of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"If they're mages, why are they investing so many resources in physical weapons? Is this some kind of deceptive tactic?"
……
The main hall of the Supreme Building.
Chen You stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the Jade Emperor Sword floating in front of him, surrounded by purple light, and grinned so hard his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Hill, Hill, I have completely seen through the underlying logic of your system."
Chen You flicked the sword, producing a crisp sword sound. "First, lower my expectations with a series of failures, then give me a reward for a string of successes."
"What's this called? This is called the conservation of luck!"
Hill maintained his perfect smile. "The boss is wise."
"So, should we aim for +13? Currently, only Lord Salos has reached that level across the entire server."
"If you succeed, you will be the undisputed number one enhancer in the Origin Realm."
"Absolutely." Chen You waved his hand.
He glanced at the panel.
[Upgrading to +13 requires: 500 Gold Coins, 1024 Upgrade Stones.]
Success rate: 20%
With a 20% success rate, he would never normally touch it.
But right now, he is in an invincible metaphysical state of "padding the blades together," and his confidence is swelling like never before.
"Get them!"
Chen You didn't even look at it before pressing the button.
On the anvil, the purple light suddenly contracted, then burst into a blinding crimson.
"Snap!"
A sickening cracking sound rang out.
[Ding! Enhancement failed. The explosion-proof talisman has taken effect; the enhancement level remains unchanged.]
Chen You's smile froze.
Before he could react, another extremely conspicuous world announcement appeared above his head, this time with bolder font and a flashing effect.
[World Announcement: What a pity! Player "Chen You" unfortunately failed to enhance their character to +13! Adventurers, enhancement is risky, so proceed with caution. Remember to purchase anti-explosion charms beforehand!]
