Chapter 659: S-level Legend Obtained
Feng Mu blinked at the mirror, and sure enough, an extremely inconspicuous upgrade coupon quietly emerged in his sight, with a faint glow on the edges, almost blending into the background.
He couldn't quite remember when he had bought the coupon.
Just because I kept it and didn't use it, treating it as a treasure at the bottom of the box, after a long time, I almost forgot about it in the corner.
His eyes moved back and forth between the floating upgrade coupon, the phantom axe in his hand that he couldn't let go of, and the lottery wheel that "trembled" at the critical moment.
Suddenly, a sneer that was extremely villainous rose from the corner of his mouth, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes:
"If that's the case...if not now, when?!"
[You used a one-time upgrade coupon!]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Thousand Illusions Void Axe of Doom (S-level equipment)]
[Category: Agility/Spirit dual-element exclusive equipment]
[Binding method: Soul symbiosis (cannot be released, cannot be transferred)]
[Legend: This axe was not forged by mortals. Its core is embedded with a shattered "Time and Space Illusion Butterfly" crystal core, allowing the wielder to manipulate the boundaries between reality and illusion, transforming into countless forms and creating a phantom legion.]
[Basic bonus: Agility +24, Attack Speed +40%, Spirit +15]
Thousand Illusions Maze·Mirror Entity:
When moving at high speeds, it leaves behind illusions that last for 12 seconds (max 30).
The illusion has a high-level entity and inherits 55% of the original body's attributes.
Shadow Breaker Strike:
The illusion's attacks ignore 30% of the target's physical armor and apply [Void Tear] (causing continuous bleeding and reducing movement speed by 20%).
Disillusionment Explosion:
When the illusion is killed, there is a 100% chance of triggering an explosion, causing high corrosive damage to enemies within 15 meters and leaving an infected area that lasts for 30 seconds (increasing damage and prohibiting healing).
Void Sensing·Phantom Dodge:
For each illusion that exists, the overall dodge rate increases by 2% (this effect cannot be combined with the dodge effects of other equipment).
When any illusion is damaged, 50% of the damage is split among all existing illusions.
Active Effect 1——Void Assault·Phantom Assault:
Consumes some stamina to sprint at super-high speed in the specified direction (maximum distance 300 meters). All enemies in the path will take physical damage and be marked.
Generates 4 phantoms behind each marked enemy. The phantoms inherit 60% of the enemy's attack power and 40% of its skill effects, lasting 40 seconds.
All passively created illusions will prioritize attacking the nearest marked target.
Active Effect 2——Phantom March Void Stealth:
Gain "Void Stealth" when moving on any terrain (considered as flat ground, movement speed increased by 40%, complete invisibility, and cannot be detected by detection skills below level A), become visible after attacking, and cause 2.5 times critical hit.
Active Effect 3——Final Avatar: Phantom Legion:
Summons 4 Final Clones, which inherit 55% of the original body's attributes and 70% of its attack power, and can perfectly use all the original body's skills (including control skills, which are 80% of the original body's effect).
The body of the Void Energy is contained within it, which will cause a large-scale explosion when killed, causing corrosive damage and silencing the enemy for 3 seconds (stagnation of Qi and blood circulation, or interruption of mental attacks, etc.).
Duration: 6 minutes.
Cooling time: 20 minutes.
Active Effect 4 - Shifting Field:
While this realm is active, you can swap places with any illusion within it.
Duration: 3 minutes.
Cooldown time: 10 minutes.]
[ps: All shadows are me, and thousands of illusions follow me. The void is immortal, but the illusions are eternal!]
Feng Mu looked at the Axe of Doom, whose name had been lengthened after the upgrade. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the strength displayed by the S-level equipment.
The attribute value alone has increased by 21 points. Although it is evenly distributed between the agility and spirit attributes, the total amount is almost doubled.
Not only that, the number of illusions has increased exponentially, the duration and attack power have also been comprehensively enhanced, and even a damage sharing mechanism has been added, which has greatly improved the survivability and interference capabilities.
Shadow Breaker has also been enhanced. In addition to the original armor penetration and bleeding, it has also added a slowing effect, making the control and output capabilities more deadly.
The dodge rate bonus provided by Void Sense has become more substantial, and the increased gain brought by each illusion generated makes high dodge a normal occurrence.
In short - all passive skills have become more imba.
Not to mention the active skills - originally there were only two, but now it has been expanded to four.
Although one of them is [Void Stealth] which evolved from the original passive skill [Phantom Walk].
Putting aside other things for now, the "complete invisibility" ability provided by [Void Stealth] alone is so powerful that it needs no further explanation. Those who understand will understand.
You know, this is reality after all, not a game.
In the game, invisibility may be just that, more of a tactical maneuver or first-mover advantage.
Because everyone in the game has a health bar, the BOSS often has a high amount of health, or is directly immune to assassination.
But in reality, there's no health bar limit. If you could become truly invisible, sneak up behind a "BOSS" silently and launch a fatal attack without warning...
The scene was so beautiful that Feng Mu wanted to go out and find a "BOSS" to experiment with it.
The other three active skills are equally outrageous.
The most important thing is that Feng Mu keenly realized that these skills do not exist in isolation, and there are extremely terrifying linkages and combinations between them.
Each skill is powerful enough when cast alone, and it undergoes a qualitative change after upgrading.
And if you combine them together and cast them at the same time... maybe it will really fit the meaning of the equipment description: "Phantoms form an army, and phantoms last forever."
Feng Mu couldn't accurately estimate how much combat power could be unleashed.
But he cautiously speculated that if he held this battle axe and fired at full power, he could defeat ten of his pre-upgrade selves. He wouldn't say it was more than enough, but he would definitely win.
And the most important thing is that all the skills in this equipment, no matter how you look at it, form a strong complement to his original limit-breaking skill Ghost Shadow and the ability to control shadows.
Illusion + ghost + shadow, combined with the shifting of the main body, shadow, and illusion, some illusions can even perform skills...
With this series of real and fake moves, how strong an opponent must be to be able to accurately lock onto his true identity in the chaotic battle?
"This upgrade ticket is well spent. The Thousand Illusions Void Axe of Doom is a perfect match for me!!!"
Feng Mu's heart was pounding, and he unconsciously tightened the axe handle in his hand.
He noticed that the shape of the axe had also quietly changed. Although the size and style had not changed, a dark pattern in the shape of a butterfly was faintly emerging on the silver-white axe.
The butterfly shadow seemed like a living creature, dancing gracefully in the flowing light of the axe, adding a bit of weirdness and mystery to the whole battle axe.
Holding it, I seem to have changed from my original "murderer" temperament to "elegant Hannibal".
"This pattern, should it be the 'Space-Time Illusion Butterfly' mentioned in the introduction?"
Feng Mu lowered his head and examined the axe again. He turned his wrist slightly and swung it with a sharp axe flower, thinking to himself:
"It seems that I need to find a special axe technique to practice from now on."
He flipped his hand casually, and the axe disappeared from his hand and was put into the equipment column.
Although the equipment alone will be effective, Feng Mu really values its attributes and skills.
But after all, it is a rare S-level weapon, and the material of the axe body is definitely not ordinary. If you don’t hold it directly in your hand to chop people, it will always feel a bit wasteful.
After the excitement and satisfaction subsided a little, a more greedy, or more exploratory thought, involuntarily emerged from Feng Mu's heart:
"But then again... A-grade equipment can be directly upgraded to S-grade using upgrade coupons. So what if..."
There was a calculating glint in his eyes.
"What if I had just gotten incredibly lucky and directly drawn an S-level piece of equipment? Then I used this upgrade ticket on that S-level equipment... what would have happened?"
"Can I upgrade further? Are there higher levels above S-level equipment? For example, SS-level? Or even the legendary SSS-level?
Or is S-level already the highest level under the current rules?"
Feng Mu unconsciously began to have other thoughts in his mind. He was not really calculating whether he could get an S-level draw next time.
Just because of his bad habit of "trembling" at the last moment of the lottery roulette, he seriously doubted whether he would be lucky enough to get an S-level item by "drawing" in his life.
What he was really thinking was: If there is a chance in the future, I must try to get another upgrade voucher.
Feng Mu was lost in thought as he stared at the mirror, his thoughts surging like the tide. After a moment, he took a deep breath and gathered his scattered thoughts one by one.
Then turn your attention back to the last two rewards left in the silver treasure chest - 100,000 skill proficiency points and a building module.
"One hundred thousand points?"
When Feng Mu first glanced at the string of numbers, he even thought he had added an extra zero.
He counted it carefully twice more, and after confirming that it was correct, a surge of genuine joy suddenly welled up in his heart:
"This should be enough to complete the prerequisites for the 'Blood and Flesh Beginning True Art', right?"
He was not in a hurry to distribute this "huge sum of money", but suppressed his inner impulse and turned his attention to the [building module].
"Building Module? The name sounds similar to the base vehicle."
Feng Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the palm-sized virtual building module, especially pausing for a while on the three words "to be activated".
Although it is called a building module, its shape is actually quite strange, completely different from any common architectural style in the real world. It looks more like the creation of some alien civilization or monster.
Its main body is a deeply concave "pool". The pool wall seems to be made of some kind of biological cutin fused with cold and hard metal, and the surface presents a matte and dark tone.
The pool is filled with something between liquid and biological colloid, which is continuously and slowly rolling and stirring itself.
Its color is hard to describe, a mixture of dark red and dirty gray, a "lively" mixture with a sense of life.
The architectural model is so lifelike that tiny bubbles occasionally rise from the depths and burst quietly on the surface of the pool.
Feng Mu could even faintly smell a faint scent that was very sweet and familiar.
Several tubular structures of varying thickness and indistinguishable texture extend from one side of the pool, twisting and coiling like the internal tentacles of some giant creature, or the transportation channels of an alien machine.
These tubes are eventually connected to several transparent glass jar-shaped containers.
In eerie contrast to the seemingly living pool in the center, the interiors of these glass jars are empty, and the walls are smooth and cold.
"After the building is put into use... will something emerge from these glass jars?"
Feng Mu muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the constantly surging "pool". A vague guess gradually took shape in his mind.
"Could this building be..."
He took a deep breath, still unsure, but his heartbeat quickened.
"If it's as I think, then this thing would be quite suitable for the prison."
At this moment, the system seemed to sense his thoughts and a prompt appeared at the right time:
[Currently unavailable, please expand the base first, then deploy this building...]
Feng Mu looked at the line of words, a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes, and his guess became more certain.
"Okay, okay... this should be it."
He murmured, his tone suppressing a certain expectation.
"When I finish laying out the base, I'll build you first."
The emergence of this building module timely resolved a long-standing worry in Feng Mu's heart.
He had been worried that as his control over the Second Prison continued to increase, it wouldn't be long before he could completely control it.
And when that day comes, when he officially unfolds the "base vehicle", parasitizes and integrates into this prison, how will he obtain resources to construct "buildings" with other functions?
After all, according to his experience of playing real-time strategy games such as "Red Alert", "StarCraft" and "World of Warcraft" in his previous life, in addition to the main base (command center or main city) being a free gift at the beginning.
All other building units - whether it is a barracks, tank factory, or research institute, all require a large amount of specific resources to build.
But in this real world without an operating interface and resource bar, what exactly are "resources"?
Is it ordinary money, minerals, or energy? Or... something weirder and more bizarre?
He had no idea before.
But now, with this module in his hand, he felt at least a little relieved.
“Since we have obtained a ready-made building module in advance, it means that at least one building that looks quite critical and powerful has been ‘unlocked’.
As long as the base is officially launched, I should be able to build it directly!"
Feng Mu thought secretly in his heart,
"As long as we can build a building first, everything else will be easy. We can just take it one step at a time."
After so much hard work, Feng Mu has been eagerly looking forward to the day when the "base" will be officially launched.
He could never accept that when that moment finally came, all he would face was an empty shell.
It is like working hard to prepare a dinner table. Even if you can't serve a full banquet for the time being, you have to at least serve a dish of meat first, so that he can truly "taste" the flavor of the base and satisfy his cravings for a while.
Of course, if we could have a full banquet that day, that would be a wonderful thing...
