"You want to strengthen it again? Do you know what it feels like to turn into scrap metal? It's like, 'pop,' and it's gone!"
Fang Zong spoke with a chuckle, feeling that the Zhan Yue Dao (Moon-Slaying Blade) was particularly irritating.
Zanpakuto: "Buzz!"
Fang Zong shook his head again.
With a 30% success rate, any success is pure luck. And you're already thinking about further enhancements?
Fang Zong could tell even with a fool's eyes that the success rate was even lower on the fourth attempt!
The third time it's already down to 30%, and the fourth time it can be upgraded to a magic weapon, so it's very likely to be down to below 10%.
If you want him to keep improving, you'll have to get him to chew up the coffee table first!
Yes, that's right!
Whichever idiot continues to strengthen it, he'll be the first to gnaw on the coffee table!
Fang Zong secretly vowed to himself, but he was also a little curious about the success rate of the fourth enhancement.
Subconscious focus of attention:
Name: Resilient. Blade Flow. Hurricane. Moon Slash;
Quality: Pseudo-magical artifact (enhanced three times);
Note: Further enhanced, upgraded to a magic blade; blade name: Shattering Star, shining brightly across the sky!
Enhancement cost: 15 Green Iron Crystals;
Enhancement success rate: 1%;
Appendix: ...
"Ha, a one percent success rate?"
Fang Zong couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Just as he thought, the success rate of the enhancement was a mere 1%, practically impossible.
He reiterated his previous statement—
To get him to continue strengthening his skills, he'd have to either lose his mind or get kicked in the head by a donkey and end up drinking tea first...
Huh? Wait a minute!
What comes next?
Fang Zong continued reading and discovered that there was an additional clause after 'success rate of enhancement'.
Is it: 'Blue iron crystals can be used to increase the success rate, with each blue iron crystal increasing it by 80%'?
"..."
Fang Zong's lips twitched.
Eighty plus one equals an 81% success rate, which is more than four in five.
As long as you're not unlucky, you'll basically succeed.
Ninth Sister asked, "Dear Summoner, would you like to enhance? Yes or no?"
Fang Zong turned his head to look out the window.
He has two pieces of blue iron crystal.
I just used one, and I also got another one from Kaiming Middle School. That should be enough.
With an 81% success rate, why not enhance it once?
Fang Zong subconsciously glanced at the coffee table in the suite. Hmm, it was made of black stone slabs, which were hard to chew.
Ninth Sister, still confused, asked again, "Should we strengthen it?"
"Ahem, let's strengthen it."
Fang Zong took out the blue iron crystal and quickly left the coffee table.
No, I should say I quickly walked towards the service phone in the suite.
The sky is clear and the weather is bright. On such a beautiful day, you should have a cup of white peach oolong milk tea.
As for the coffee table... what coffee table? Did he mention anything about a coffee table?
It takes some time to upgrade a pseudo-artifact to a true artifact.
The milk tea was served quickly. The hotel waiter put down Fang Zong's order, glanced curiously at the bright moon hanging high on the table, surrounded by stars, and his expression immediately changed.
[Military general?]
He thought to himself, "That's right, he's a military general! And not just any ordinary military general!"
As a waiter at the most upscale hotel in the area, he had seen many local military officers and had also received military officers who came to the region, but none of them had ever been so magnificent and dazzling!
He saw a knife floating on the table, releasing countless crescent-shaped blade energies, while the surrounding stars twinkled, seemingly being breathed in and out by the crescent-shaped blade energies.
The owner of the precious sword, who was of extraordinary appearance, calmly drank milk tea on the sofa.
"A powerful military general, heavens! Could it be the Liu Family Village that's been mentioned online..."
The waiter tried his best, suppressing his excitement with professionalism, and politely asked with a smile, "Excuse me, sir, is there anything else you need?"
Fang Zong replied, "No, that's all."
"Alright, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
The waiter maintained his professionalism, keeping his eyes straight ahead as he left, trying his best not to look at the dazzling 'special effects' on the table.
But out of the corner of my eye, I still caught a glimpse of something bright yellow and golden beneath the special effects.
"Hiss..." He suddenly gasped.
They couldn't even maintain their professional ethics!
No matter how beautiful or powerful a high-end weapon is, it's still too far removed from the life of a waiter.
Gold is different; that's reality!
Fang Zong slightly raised his eyes and asked, "You like it?"
The waiter didn't dare to answer.
Fang Zong laughed and said, "Take one if you like it."
Waiter: "..."
My mind is in complete chaos; countless words have turned into text, twisting and turning everywhere in my head!
【Yes, I like it very much! But I can't! You are a military general, and military generals have worked hard to protect us. How can I take your gold?】
No! You can't! Absolutely not!
[This isn't even enough for a tip; this piece of gold would weigh a kilogram... No way!]
Words twisted and twisted in my mind.
But I just can't bring myself to say it!
One kilogram, that's 1000 grams, that's over 300,000!
That would be enough to put his mind at ease for the next ten years, and if used as seed money, it might even have changed his destiny!
In that case, how can I bring myself to say no?
The waiter was completely bewildered. When he came to his senses, he found himself already carrying gold bars outside.
He looked at the large, yellowish lump in his arms, rubbed his face, carefully hung a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on Fang Zong, and then bowed.
Inside the room, Fang Zong smiled faintly.
Then, he looked at his knife with some concern.
Although the success rate is high, there is always a possibility of failure in the enhancement process.
Everything was put to good use, and everyone performed their duties to the best of their ability. The waiter was quite professional, so I'll give him a small reward as a way to improve my own reputation.
Feeling anxious and uncertain, Fang Zong also became somewhat superstitious.
Fang Zong finished his cup of white peach oolong milk tea quickly, but he couldn't taste anything. He then poured himself a cup of hot water, without adding any tea leaves, and sipped it slowly.
Suddenly, there was a 'clang'.
Above the table, the crescent-shaped blade energy vanished completely, and the Crescent Moon Blade crumbled into dust.
Only tiny specks of light remained, drifting slowly, like stardust!
Fang Zong was shocked and accidentally crushed the teacup: "It failed?"
His heart sank suddenly. The thought of losing and then regaining his old friend, only to lose it again, left him unsure of how to feel.
All I know is that my heart feels heavy and suffocated, as if it's being weighed down with gold and lead!
"玏珰!"
Suddenly, Ninth Sister's voice rang out: "Congratulations to Summoner Red Hand for a major breakthrough! Four enhancements successfully upgraded Tenacity, Blade Flow, Hurricane, and Moon Slash to Magic Blade Shattering Star!"
Fang Zong: "..."
Success? Not failure?
Fang Zong couldn't believe it, but what Ninth Sister said must be true. He walked over and reached out his palm towards that patch of stardust.
Instantly, stardust spun like a hurricane, and countless stardust swirled around his arm, transforming into countless terrifying and sharp blades of energy.
Immediately afterward, the blade energy transformed, and a long blade appeared in his hand, exuding a chilling aura!
Once activated, countless stardust blade energies swirl up, lifelike, like star dragons coiling around the body!
...
...
No destruction, no construction; the Star-Shattering Blade of Magic Blade makes its official debut!
