Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 458 Universal Store
[Welcome to the equipment strengthening machine No. 233. The user holds Paradise Coins: 300480 points. Please place the equipment that needs to be strengthened. 】

In front of the strengthening machine, Xu Yue ignored the faint noise behind him, glanced at the balance of Paradise Coins on the screen, and then placed the Radiance of Life in his hand, which had just been promoted to purple quality, on the tray that was sticking out.

Soon the tray was recovered and a new prompt popped up on the screen.

[Equipment testing..., testing completed, Brilliance of Life +7 (purple), each enhancement cost is 10000 Paradise Coins. ]

It was a little expensive, but the quality of the Radiance of Life was completely worth the price. Without hesitation, he chose to start strengthening it.

After being upgraded to purple quality, according to the black marketer, purple to dark purple items are rarely circulated in the entire market, at least it is difficult to get them at the level he can access now.

In other words, the Radiance of Life would not have the possibility to make further progress in a short period of time, so Xu Yue was prepared to strengthen it to the best possible level at this stage.

With the blessing of the luck of the manta ray, and the two items in hand that can offset the penalty for failed enhancement, the enhancement to +3 should not be a problem.

"strengthen."

[Enhancing starts, please wait for five minutes. 】

The subsequent strengthening process was unremarkable. Perhaps it was because the auspicious beast Manta Ray was always by his side, the strengthening of the Radiance of Life was smooth and successfully promoted from +7 to +11. The four consecutive strengthenings were all extremely smooth.

It was just that a long-unseen failure occurred when it was promoted to +12, but fortunately the phantom magic stone prepared in advance avoided the danger of breakage caused by the failed enhancement.

With this failure as a warning, Xu Yue decisively activated the blessing of the manta ray during the second strengthening, and finally succeeded in the strengthening under the protection of the T3 maintenance chip.

[Life Glory (Purple) +12 Success! Yes/No Continue to Strengthen. If you need to continue strengthening, you need to pay Soul Crystal (Medium) + 10000 Paradise Coins. ]

The prompt sound was accompanied by a large amount of white steam, which also caused a burst of exclamations from behind Xu Yue.

Generally speaking, the success rate of equipment enhancement +12 is only about 20%. The first failure of Glory of Life perfectly demonstrated how disappointing this meager probability is.

The second success after the blessing of the manta ray told the onlookers another truth, that is, as long as your luck attribute is strong enough, there is actually not much difference between 20% and 100%.

After realizing this, pairs of burning eyes began to stare at the blue flying fish flying up and down in the white mist, their eyes full of undisguised desire.

Due to the intimidation of Xu Yue's identity, most of the contractors have now wisely restrained the overly vicious greed in their eyes, but this does not affect their ability to use formal means to compete for the lucky blessing opportunities actively thrown out by Wen Yu.

It is foreseeable that when Bubu and Wen Yu appear in the reinforcement hall again to start the blessing auction, the scene will definitely be even more exciting.

Standing in front of the strengthening machine, feeling the fiery gazes coming from behind, Xu Yue had an indifferent expression. This was the situation he had deliberately created.

He actually had no objection to actively selling the lucky blessing, and he just learned that the manta ray could also take the opportunity to devour the negative luck that was expelled from the target's body during the blessing process.

Combining the two, faced with this kind of operation that can not only make a lot of profits but also benefit his own growth, he is quite happy to add fuel to the "career" of Bubu and Wenyu.

Soon, the white mist in front of him dissipated completely. Although the style of the Radiance of Life on the tray did not change, it inexplicably looked a lot more luxurious at first glance, and the attributes of the equipment also saw a very significant improvement.

Among them, the health and mana recovery of equipment effect 1 were increased by 5 points, and the physical recovery and wound healing of effect 2 were also slightly improved.

In addition to these, there are three more important additional attribute rewards.

+8 Additional Attributes: HP +100 when worn.

+10 Additional Attributes: The upper limit of the effect of Forest Blessing is increased to 150%.

+12 Additional Attributes: When the wearer is in a forest environment, the abundant life force will prompt his broken flesh and blood to regrow and heal. The growth efficiency is determined by the forest environment.

…………

Among the three additional rewards, the +12 one is undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of the limb regeneration effect. You should know that most recovery skills and items can only heal wounds but cannot regrow lost limbs.

Although the limb restoration of the Radiance of Life has the limitation that it must be in a forest environment, its effect still far exceeds the limits of what the purple item can do. This is the main reason why the equipment enhancement of Paradise can attract so many contractors.

After checking the detailed properties of the Radiance of Life and consuming 6 Paradise Coins and a Magic Stone, Xu Yue decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to upgrade it. Not to mention the meager success rate, the cost of upgrading a Soul Crystal (Medium) alone was enough to stop him temporarily.

After putting on the necklace in his hand again, he took out a pair of black combat boots emitting dark purple light from the space and placed them on the empty tray in front of him.

[Equipment testing..., testing completed, the cost of each enhancement of Kinetic Boots (dark purple) is 25000 Paradise Coins. ]

This pair of combat boots was exactly the trophy he got from Red Tank's treasure chest. Not only that, he also remodeled this pair of combat boots yesterday and forged the Red Tank's spirit body that he had specially preserved into them, making it a rare combat boot-type soul-fusion equipment. Therefore, the cost of strengthening it is exaggerated to a high level of 25,000 per time.

In terms of offense and defense, Xu Yue has almost no shortcomings, but he still lacks in mobility and breakthroughs, and this pair of kinetic boots is his main means to make up for these shortcomings.

"Start strengthening!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the equipment enhancement machine that had been stopped started humming again, and it was not until nearly an hour later that it returned to calm.

[Kinetic Boots (Dark Purple) +8 Success! Yes/No Continue to strengthen. ]

[Kinetic Boots] +8
Origin: X-Men
Quality: dark purple
Category: Boots

Durability: 88/88 (increased by 10 points)
Equipment requirements: Approval from the weapon soul
Equipment Effect 1: Kinetic Energy Accumulation (Passive): After wearing the combat boots, kinetic energy will be continuously accumulated and stored during daily actions. Due to the force absorption, the user's movement speed is increased by 30 (increased by 10 points), and the resistance to harsh environments such as deserts, swamps, high temperatures, and cold is increased by 40% (increased by 15%).

Tip: The upper limit of kinetic energy accumulation depends on the strength of the weapon soul and the physical strength of the wearer.

Equipment Effect 2: Kinetic Energy Release (Active): With the assistance of the weapon soul, the wearer can freely mobilize the kinetic energy stored in the boots to assist jumping, increase charge speed, increase the power of kicking skills and many other effects.

Equipment Effect 3: Fearless Charge (Active): After activating this state, the kinetic energy stored in the equipment will be fully released by the weapon soul, thereby forming a special fearless force field on the wearer's body surface. This force field can convert 30% of physical damage into kinetic energy accumulation and prompt the host to enter a charge hegemony state, continuously increasing its charge speed and impact force over time.

Tip 1: In the dominant state, the user will ignore most physical control effects, the strength correction will be +15 (increased by 5 points) when making a collision judgment, and the user will be automatically immune to all negative states such as retreat, stiffness, interruption, etc. caused by confrontation.

Tip 2: The volume and amplification effect of the force field will continue to increase as the charge time passes, until the kinetic energy is consumed or the wearer's body completely collapses under the heavy pressure.

Equipment effect 4: Soul Fusion Equipment (Passive): Omitted.

+5 Additional Attributes: Kinetic energy storage efficiency increased by 10%.

+8 Additional Attributes: When in fearless state, the wearer's physical strength increases by 2.

Rating: 260 (Note: Dark purple equipment rating is 151 to 260)

Introduction: Charge forward, we will crush everything in the fearless charge, or perish in the blood. Price: 130000 Paradise Coins

...............

Looking at the detailed introduction of the various effects of the kinetic boots on the panel, Xu Yue's painful mood eased a little. He didn't know if it was because he had consumed too much luck when strengthening the Radiance of Life before. In short, the strengthening process of this pair of boots was particularly bumpy.

He failed three times in succession, and even the remaining 3 Paradise Coins were used up early in the strengthening process. He had to ask Ah Fu for another sum of money, and only then was he able to strengthen it to the +24 level. The whole process consumed a total of nearly 8 points.

So after successfully being promoted to +8, Xu Yue, who was short of Paradise Coins, decisively gave up the plan to continue strengthening.

However, although the consumption is great, the resulting enhancement is also considerable. Judging from the strength of the kinetic boots now, even if he is surrounded by countless enemy troops, as long as he activates the fearless charge, he is confident that he can break through the entire enemy formation with the most powerful attitude.

Whether charging forward or breaking through the formation, the kinetic boots can give him enough confidence to ignore most encirclements.

After checking the information, Xu Yue put the combat boots on the tray back into the space with satisfaction, then he pushed through the crowd and walked quickly towards the gate.

After leaving the equipment enhancement hall, he thought for a moment, and then, following the guidance of the navigation tablet, he headed to a store called the Universal Store.
Run to it.

Previously in the world of "X-Men", he, or rather Mantaka, had drawn a green piece of equipment called "Spandex Underpants" from a scarlet card.

The biggest feature of this equipment is that it can extend its own fabric to 20 times its original length. For other people, this effect is useless, but for Xu Yue who can enlarge his body, it is a vital necessity.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Xu Yue's own metal strength has already exceeded that of most dark purple protective gear, so the biggest function of clothing for him is simply to cover his body. He doesn't care how much protection clothing equipment can provide for him. The only requirement is that it can prevent him from running naked on the spot when he is in the giant state.

From this point of view, it is necessary to customize a batch of equipment similar to "elastic fiber pants", and the universal store is the manufacturer of such equipment.

Soon, the universal store located deep in the Mechanical Street came into Xu Yue's sight. Different from the most common high-tech style in Mechanical Street, this store seemed particularly "simple".

Two slightly worn mahogany doors are embedded in the monotonous gray-brown wall. Above them is a square plaque with the four big characters "Universal Store" engraved on it. At the bottom there is a line of small characters with some paint peeling off, which reads: Dedicated to satisfying all your imaginations.

Pushing open the creaking door, dim light suddenly overflowed slowly. Looking down, the entire store space was surprisingly small, somewhat similar to the structure of an ancient pawnshop. There were no merchandise on display in the empty room, only an old counter made of mahogany.

Behind the counter was an old man with white hair and beard. Although his cheeks were covered with wrinkles, his overall temperament seemed particularly kind.

Noticing the shop door opening, he, who was originally a little drowsy, immediately opened his drooping eyes and greeted gently:

"Welcome to the all-purpose store, what can I do for you, sir?"

The old man's voice was low and warm, and inexplicably similar to Professor X. Listening to this familiar voice, Xu Yue's brows slightly furrowed. He did not sense any breath of life from the old man in front of him, and even his mental fluctuations were dead silent.

"You're not human?"

Hearing Xu Yue's question, which was more affirmative than doubtful, the old man was stunned at first, and then the smile in the corners of his eyes became more and more intense.

"Oh, what a keen perception. In fact, my essence should be a program that will instinctively present the least threatening image to the guests to facilitate our subsequent conversation."

"But that doesn't matter. Let's talk business. What do you need, sir? We will do our best to meet all your wishes. This is our service tenet."

us?

Thoughts were surging in his mind, but Xu Yue remained expressionless. He came to this shop just to customize props and was not interested in exploring secrets.

After taking out the slightly damaged green bottoms from the space and placing them on the counter in front of him, he spoke:

"An outfit with the same effect as this bottom, but I need a full set of clothing, preferably with the ability to self-repair."

"Oh, the elastic series, that's simple, but there are many types of self-repair. Does the customer have any specific requirements, such as consuming mana to repair? Or swallowing some materials for automatic healing?"

Hearing this, Xu Yue paused, then took off the wolf-hair cloak he had been wearing and placed it on the counter as well.

"Use this as a template and consume the flames to repair yourself."

"Hey, rare leather!"

Unlike his previous indifference, the old man behind the counter became visibly excited when he saw the wolf-hair cloak that Xu Yue took out. He bent his straight upper body slightly, and while he reached out to touch the fur of the cloak, a beam of blue light also shot out from the old man's eyes, as if he was deeply exploring the details of the material of the cloak.

After a long while, the other party straightened up and continued:
"Although this kind of leather is rare, it can be replicated, so it shouldn't be a problem to make a set of custom stretch clothing based on it. Does the customer have any other needs?"

Seeing Xu Yue shaking his head, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the gentle look on his face was gradually replaced by a hint of commercialism.

"Since the wish requirements have been negotiated, we should talk about the cost next. The better the wish, the greater the price."

"Regarding this set of clothing, if you choose to buy it individually, it will be of good quality and low price. If you choose to have it customized as a set, the price will be slightly higher, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed. Which one do you want to choose?"

"Suit."

Since he chose customization, he might as well get the best. With the support of the furnace behind him, Xu Yue has enough confidence in terms of Paradise Coins.

The old man on the other side obviously admired Xu Yue's confidence, and the smile in the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious as he spoke.

"You are so generous! A blue suit costs 100,000 Paradise Coins; a purple suit costs 200,000 Paradise Coins; a dark purple suit costs 500,000 Paradise Coins; a pale gold suit costs ..."

"Purple is fine."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Xu Yue bluntly interrupted the other party's offer. It was true that he was confident, but he was not generous enough to spend hundreds of thousands.

Behind the counter, the old man whose quotation was interrupted did not seem annoyed at all, or it was hard to be sure whether he had such emotion. After all, no matter how real he had behaved before, the guy in front of him was just a program.

"The purple quality clothing set can be picked up by the customer in three days, but this wolf-hair cloak will have to be left behind for now."

"No deposit required?"

"No, we still believe in Master Xinhuo's credibility."

Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. In this last sentence, he sensed for the first time the fleeting mental fluctuation of the old man in front of him.

“……Okay, I’ll wait and see.”
