The skeleton army is using the Devouring Evolution technique. Higher-level monsters provide more experience points, so the skeleton army's strength is increasing faster and faster.
As for the Gale Wolf King... Shen Yi was still undecided.
"If we're looking to the future, we should let the Skeleton Legion devour and evolve right now, but this Gale Wolf King is a pretty good immediate combat asset."
Shen Yi sighed.
Making a choice is not difficult; most choices have certain advantages. You just need to choose the direction that is most beneficial to you.
But some choices are not.
Just like Shen Yi is now struggling with whether to increase the strength of his skeleton army or turn the Gale Wolf King into his immediate combat force.
It's a difficult choice.
Just then, Shen Yi saw a piece of equipment on the corpse of the Gale Wolf King.
"Another loot drop?"
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised.
The drop rate for equipment is not high; in most cases, you'll only get loot or materials.
Shen Yi picked up the equipment.
[Swift Wind Arm Guard]
【Quality: d】
[Unique Skill: Gale's Blessing (Continuously triggers, increases the wearer's Agility attribute by 10%)]
"You got a loot drop?"
Ye Qianyu and Wu Yong walked over.
"Um."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, then handed the equipment in his hand to Ye Qianyu, "Take a look at this equipment."
Ye Qianyu took the equipment, glanced at it, and was somewhat surprised.
"Gale Armguards?"
Her first thought was of her Swiftwind Leg Guards.
"Let's equip it and give it a try."
Ye Qianyu nodded and put on the Gale Armguards.
"really!"
Ye Qianyu was pleasantly surprised, "These two pieces of equipment are a set!"
Wu Yong's eyes widened. "A set of equipment?"
"Hmm." Ye Qianyu smiled. "Set equipment effect: [Blessing of the Gale]"
As she spoke, she showed Shen Yi and the other person the effect of the outfit.
【Blessing of the Gale (2/6): Increases the effect of inherent equipment skills by 20%】
Wu Yong clicked his tongue and said, "This outfit is really effective."
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised when he saw the set effect. "Two pieces are enough to trigger the set effect?"
Wu Yong shook his head. "That's not necessarily true."
Set equipment, as the name suggests, refers to equipment that comes in sets.
Some sets of equipment only trigger their set effects when all pieces are equipped, while other sets can trigger different set effects when two, three, or four pieces are equipped.
Set effects are incredibly varied, and what's even more interesting is that some set effects, when triggered by equipping just two pieces, can be more powerful than those triggered by equipping more pieces.
“My family has a complete set of equipment.”
Wu Yong chuckled, "That set of equipment is the strangest. The effect triggered by two pieces of the set is a huge increase in fire damage resistance, but the effect triggered by three pieces of the set is completely different!"
"Brother Yi, guess what it's become?"
Shen Yi said calmly, "If you don't tell me within three seconds, I'll throw you onto the Skull Frost Falcon to scout the situation."
"No, no, no, I'll tell you!"
Wu Yong was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, "The effect of the three-piece set is: a slight increase in damage received from fire."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "It can be like this?"
"Of course, the skills of set equipment are really bizarre!" Wu Yong chuckled. "The set equipment I have at home has six pieces in total. Because the set effects are so strange, they are basically set in pairs, divided into three groups."
"This set is especially useful in certain dungeons and against certain monsters!"
"Um……"
Shen Yi frowned in deep thought.
The set effect is surprisingly counterintuitive?
Ideally, if the set effect triggered by two pieces of equipment increases fire damage resistance, then more pieces of equipment should trigger an even greater amount of fire damage resistance.
If it's a complete set, it might even become immune to fire damage.
However, the three-piece set effect has turned into "increases the fire damage received".
"Could it be that there's a negative setting?" Shen Yi murmured.
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Ye Qianyu asked curiously, "What is a negative number setting?"
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised, "You didn't know about the negative number setting?"
Wu Yong and Ye Qianyu both shook their heads. They had never even heard of it, let alone known about it.
"Negative number setting..."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "For example, the effect of a certain set of equipment is to increase strength. Two-piece, three-piece and four-piece sets represent increases of 20, 50 and 70 in strength attribute respectively."
"So, if this increase is negative, different numbers of set equipment will reduce the strength attribute by 20, 50, and 70 respectively."
Wu Yong grinned, "This set of equipment is really trash..."
Ye Qianyu looked at Shen Yi, "What are you trying to say?"
After pondering for a while, Shen Yi raised his head.
Do you know what a blacksmith is?
Ye Qianyu nodded, "I know a little."
"Blacksmiths can forge equipment and also add inherent skills to it. However, for some inherent skills, warlocks can do more than blacksmiths. Therefore, many blacksmiths choose to team up with warlocks to forge stronger equipment."
Shen Yi nodded, "The equipment I'm wearing was jointly crafted by Elder Xing and Lord Lan Yu."
"You mentioned this to me before," Ye Qianyu continued, "You mean to say that the effects of set equipment aren't that simple?"
Shen Yi nodded. "I was wondering, what would the effect be if we transformed the set equipment into other types of equipment?"
"For example, the six-piece set that Wu Yong mentioned."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "The original effect of that set was to increase fire resistance. The more you equip, the more fire damage you will take."
"If we could use the blacksmith's skills to fuse these pieces of the set into the weapon."
"If we use this equipment on weapons, will it amplify fire damage?"
quiet……
A deathly silence!
Shen Yi was having a brainstorming session when he noticed that Ye Qianyu and Wu Yong were both looking at him like he was a monster.
Shen Yi was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"Sometimes I wonder, boss, how exactly does your brain work?" Wu Yong scratched his head. "How did you even come up with this?"
Ye Qianyu sighed, "If it were us, we would never have thought of such a thing in our entire lives..."
It seems incredibly far-fetched.
But... it's not entirely without basis!
However, Shen Yi is unable to implement it. Perhaps he can ask Elder Xing after he leaves the instance and gain more insights.
Shen Yi is now preparing for his skeleton blacksmith project.
"Boss, what's our next step?"
"In any case, the primary goal of the Purgatory Squad is to raise their level to 25."
