Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 465 Crazy Strengthening
Gulu~!
Xin Lailai looked at the effect introduction of [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] in front of him, his throat moved slightly twice, and he made a swallowing motion.

"How about it, I said I can make a top-notch product this time?!"

Scrap came over, looked at the dumbfounded Xin Lailai, grinned, patted him on the back and laughed heartily, while putting an exquisite little box on the shelf beside him:
"By the way, remember to take this thing with you. I promised that guy to give it to you. He ran away early this morning and only left this thing with me."

Did the promise boss already go out?
Xin Lailai was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much. Instead, he took the small box pointed by Broken Copper and Iron, opened it, looked at the [Biyi Gem] inside which had recovered its full durability, nodded, and thanked Broken Copper and Iron:

"Well, thank you for troubling me, Boss. I will leave first then?"

"Go ahead. I'll take care of the chores I have on hand later and then I have to go over to keep an eye on that Chengnuo guy. Since 04296 isn't here, I'll have to do this job."

Broken Copper and Iron waved his hand cheerfully, indicating that Xin Lailai didn't need to worry about the situation on his side. Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai didn't hesitate and directly opened the branding interface and chose to teleport to the equipment enhancement hall.

……

One minute later, equipment reinforcement hall.

[Tip: Welcome to use Equipment Enhancement Machine No. 02609, please select the service you need]

In the reinforcement hall filled with wailing, Xin Lailai turned on the shielding mode with ease. After the surrounding noise disappeared, he began to take out a large amount of equipment from the storage space:

boom!
There was a dull sound of falling to the ground, and nearly twenty pieces of equipment were piled together, forming a small equipment mountain.

The reason why there are so many equipments is mainly because Xin Lailai did not sell the three sets of legendary equipment that he had exchanged in the camp store in the Hellsing world before, but kept them all in his own hands.

Always prepare for the worst. No one can guarantee that the Transcendence suit he wears will last until the end of the next world. Therefore, just in case, it is best to prepare one or two sets of equipment in advance as a backup option.

What's more, as a 5-piece legendary set produced by the faction store, the effects of these three legendary sets can be said to all have extremely distinctive characteristics.

For example, the [Legendary Warrior Set] can greatly enhance melee damage and survivability. If you don't use any spells and only engage in close combat, it can be said that the [Legendary Warrior Set] is better than the [Transcendence Set] he is wearing now in all other aspects except saving his life.

There is also the [Fanatical Believer Set], which can greatly improve the effects of holy skills, and even includes holy skills released by props such as the [Cross of Judgment], which can also benefit from the bonus. At the same time, it also has extremely powerful recovery and life-saving abilities. At the critical moment, cutting out a bite of self-healing may have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

As for the [Night Stealth Suit] which seems to be the least compatible with his fighting style, in terms of suitability, the style of this assassin suit is indeed not very suitable for him, but he has the ability to stealth. When crossing certain dangerous areas that are not suitable for combat, this suit can play a much greater role than other suits that enhance frontal combat power.

[Hint: Do you want to pay 50 Paradise Points to enhance the [Legendary Warrior Set]?]

A line of light blue text appeared on the screen. As a five-piece set of legendary equipment, the cost of enhancing these three sets was unsurprisingly frighteningly high.

But Xin Lailai just took a quick look at it, then pressed the "+" sign representing the number of enhancements four times in a row, and finally pressed the confirmation button.

He planned to enhance all three sets of legendary suits to +5. Anyway, if he could bring them out of the next world intact, it would be no problem to sell them for 5 million yuan starting from a +1500 five-piece legendary suit. If he couldn't bring them out, then naturally there was no point in saying anything.

[Payment successful, enhancement begins! ]

[Tip: Estimated time to complete the enhancement is 1 hour and 20 minutes]

I almost forgot that it takes a lot longer to upgrade legendary equipment than gold equipment...

A cold reminder sounded. Xin Lailai glanced at the waiting time of 1 hour and 20 minutes and the equipment piled in the corner. After hesitating for a while, he made a decision.

He simply collected all the equipment on the ground, walked quickly to another empty equipment enhancement machine next door, operated it with ease, and then quickly turned to the next equipment enhancement machine, then the fourth, the fifth...

[Payment successful, enhancement begins! ]

A few minutes later, Xin Lailai looked at the nine equipment enhancement machines that were making bursts of roaring sounds and nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, the equipment enhancement machine in the park has no upper limit on the number of uses, otherwise it would be difficult for him to complete the enhancement of all the equipment within an hour.

After all, in terms of quantity, the number of equipment he wants to strengthen this time is indeed a little more. In addition to the three sets of legendary suits, there are also the [Blessing of the Tree Spirit (golden pendant)] and [Lionheart's Wrath (golden ornament)] that he obtained a long time ago, [The Remnant Cocoon Dream (legendary ornament)] and [The Remaining Dream of the Deep Sea (legendary armor)] obtained from the Black Bullet World, and the [Ghost Scale Sky Feather (legendary armor)] that he just got from the scrap metal, as well as the growth equipment [Eternal Oath (legendary ring)] that was upgraded to legendary quality just after returning from the Hellsing world.

The specific expenses are as follows:

……

Three sets of legendary equipment +5: 750 million Paradise Points.

Two pieces of gold equipment +12: 120 million Paradise Points.

Two pieces of legendary equipment +13: 280 million Paradise Points.

Phantom Scale Sky Feather +13: 280 million Paradise Points

Eternal Vow +13: 280 million Paradise Points.

Total: 1710 million park points
……

Spending tens of millions of Paradise Points at one time on equipment enhancement, if it were the previous Xin Lailai, it would be absolutely impossible for him to spend resources on such things. However, there are only a few ways to improve combat effectiveness at the moment. Compared with collecting those ordinary passive items that will become invalid directly as the attributes increase, equipment enhancement is already a very cost-effective means for him who has a high enough luck value.

——If the equipment and props can be kept, they can be sold later to make a profit, but once the skills become ineffective, all the investment will be wasted.

……

So, two hours later.

[Enhancement completed, [Eternal Oath] +13 enhancement successful]

"Huh... I finally finished strengthening everything. This took a really long time."

In front of a strengthening machine, Xin Lailai looked at the last piece of equipment that had been strengthened in front of him, rubbed his eyes gently, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for him for more than two hours, I finally finished all the things I needed to do in the first step.

"The next step is to drill and inlay the gemstones..."

[Prompt: It is detected that the current equipment does not have an available hole. Do you want to pay 100000 Paradise Points to open a hole? ]

"confirm."

Only one hole can be opened in golden equipment, and the cost of a single hole opening is 5. Legendary equipment can have two inlay slots, and the cost of a single hole opening is 10. He now has a total of 8 gems on hand, of which the [Heavy Blade Gem] and 3 [Vitality Gems] he plans to inlay on [Deep Sea Dream] and [Blessing of the Tree Spirit], while the [Nightmare Gem] will be inlaid on [The Remnant Cocoon Dream], and the [Ethereal Gem] will be inlaid in [Night Scale and Sky Feather]. Needless to say, the remaining 2 [Winged Gems] will definitely be inlaid on [Eternal Oath].

[Hint: Should I inlay [Bi-Winged Gemstone (left)] and [Bi-Winged Gemstone (right)]? ]

"mosaic."

【Inlay completed】

……

Equipment effect 1, spiritual sublimation (passive): Use soul crystals to increase [Soul Source Value].

Equipment effect 2, eternal protection (passive): Those who wear [Heart Ring] and [Spirit Ring] will receive a soul strength bonus after performing the [Promotion Ceremony].

*Tips: Currently increased soul strength: 20 points (valid within 100 points of soul strength)
Equipment Effect 3, Oath of the Soul (Passive/Active): The equipment is divided into two parts: [Heart Ring] and [Spirit Ring]. The person wearing [Heart Ring] can store any [Equipment Effect] with cooldown on the equipment column and wear it. [Spirit Ring] users can [share] this effect and use it, and the trigger cooldown is independent. The upper limit of storage is determined by the rating of the equipment.

……

The permanent benefit effect of [Eternal Vow +13] is the same as that of the Book of the World, which amplifies the first gem slot. Considering that they cannot benefit from the bonus of [Winged Gem (left)] most of the time, Xin Lailai naturally gave priority to [Winged Gem (right)] to enjoy the amplification effect of [Eternal Vow +13].

……

"The next few items are..."

Xin Lailai put away the [Eternal Oath] inlaid with two gems, one black and one white, looked at the other equipment piled aside, and started to operate them one by one.

……

——As a result, his equipment improvement has reached its limit.

Xin Lailai looked at the rows of light blue text in front of him, looked at the extremely eye-catching "+12" and "+13" icons, felt the vigorous vitality brought by the [Vitality Gem] and [Blessing of the Tree Spirit], and breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as the results are concerned, the 1780 million Paradise Points invested in the equipment enhancement hall today have undoubtedly significantly improved his strength. In terms of magnitude, it can be said that it is second only to investing Paradise Points in core abilities such as Spell Master and Spiritual Communication.

But in the long run, his way of handling resources after his return has actually seriously affected his subsequent development speed.

Originally, he could have chosen not to strengthen these equipment. He could have reported the insufficient amount and used all the saved Paradise Points to purchase [Power of the Grandmaster (Complete)] and [Soul Crystal (Complete)]. In this way, once he reached the third level, he could break through all five passive skills to the Grandmaster level at the fastest speed, and at least upgrade two of the Grandmaster LV.20 passive skills, allowing him to re-enter the outer-level team at the fastest speed as soon as he reached the third level.

But now, all the resources used to improve his skills and passive spells have been spent on equipment, various ordinary passive skills, and a large amount of material supplies. So when he reaches the third level, let alone a quick return to the junior echelon, it is probably unknown whether he can quickly rush to the super top echelon.

"If I can't survive this, it will be a huge loss...Okay, this is just nonsense."

Although he felt sorry for these Paradise Points, Xin Lailai knew very well that if they couldn't survive, it would be meaningless no matter how many Paradise Points he accumulated.

Xin Lailai shook her head, opened the branding interface, notified Ling Yuzi in her mind, selected the land of all living beings, and started teleporting directly.

Since I've already come out here, I might as well finish everything at once.

[Tip: Space is about to begin...]

"Paradise, is there a more powerful way to teleport? I want to add more spatial resistance."

So, with the idea that the stronger the better, Xin Lailai looked at the branding interface in front of him and asked seriously.

then……

[Warning: This transmission has been changed to Samsara Paradise for execution, near-death protection has been enabled, equipment protection has been enabled, pioneers please prepare for launch! ]

Has it changed to the Paradise of Reincarnation again? If so, then it shouldn't matter if he provokes them a little, since it's not their own paradise after all?

Xin Lailai was thinking inexplicably in his mind, and subconsciously raised his middle finger in front of him, revealing an arrogant expression, looking fearless.

then……

boom--! !

An earth-shattering roar exploded in the equipment enhancement hall, causing the entire space inside the equipment enhancement hall to vibrate twice.

……
