"Ding, ding, ding."
Ye Chuan had recently become obsessed with blacksmithing. After hearing the pleasant sound of metal being struck, another weapon would appear in his backpack—
He had made a rapier for Luo Xi as well, but since it was only a high-grade spirit sword, better materials would be needed for a higher level one.
After Ye Chuan had forged a full thirty weapons, he discovered that a new function had been unlocked in the forging interface.
[Enhancement Amplification]
"Enhancement Amplification?" Ye Chuan glanced at it. Judging by the literal meaning, it seemed to be an option to enhance equipment and magical treasures. After clicking in, he found an icon of a furnace.
After clicking the familiar [+] button, it was filled with all the equipment and magical treasures from Ye Chuan's backpack.
"It really works."
Ye Chuan stroked his chin, then tentatively placed a spirit sword into it.
[Equipment: Nameless Spirit Sword
Enhancement Level: 0
Attribute Bonus: 0%
Success Rate for Enhancement +1: 100%]
[Spend 1000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
"A thousand bucks, cheap." Ye Chuan immediately clicked to enhance.
On the phone screen, the furnace began to creak and shake into operation. After a few seconds, a new prompt popped up.
[Amplification +1 Nameless Spirit Sword successful]
Equipment: +1 Nameless Spirit Sword
Enhancement Level: 1
Attribute Bonus: 5%
Success Rate for Enhancement +2: 100%]
[Spend 5000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
Ye Chuan stroked his chin, "Five thousand..."
Ye Chuan felt it was a bit of a waste to use it on this spirit sword, so he removed the equipment and threw in his own Ten Thousand Souls Banner instead.
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Souls Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 0
Attribute Bonus: 0%
Success Rate for Enhancement +1: 100%]
[Spend 1000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
Enhance!
[Amplification +1 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
Enhance!
[Amplification +2 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
Ye Chuan enhanced it all the way, finally getting the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to a +7 level.
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Souls Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 7
Attribute Bonus: 55%
Success Rate for Enhancement +8: 50%]
[Spend 720,000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
The success rate suddenly dropped to fifty percent.
And the price... was actually 720,000.
"Now this is the real money-burning thing, right?" Ye Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still took out his Ten Thousand Souls Banner to get a slight feel. The power of the treasure had indeed increased by fifty percent.
"Good stuff. You get what you pay for."
However, Ye Chuan wasn't sure what the penalty for failure would be. After thinking for a moment, he continued enhancing the earlier Nameless Spirit Sword all the way, finally bringing it to the same level as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
[Equipment: Nameless Spirit Sword
Enhancement Level: 7
Attribute Bonus: 55%
Success Rate for Enhancement +8: 50%]
[Spend 720,000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
Enhance!
Accompanied by an animation of the furnace shaking continuously, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and the Nameless Spirit Sword failed its amplification, directly dropping to a +4 level.
"So, the penalty for failure is just dropping levels?"
This was acceptable to Ye Chuan. After all, the one thing he wasn't short of now was money. Whether it was the sunflowers at home or the pharmaceutical company he opened, it was completely equivalent to running a money-printing press.
"Come on." Ye Chuan began enhancing his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
[Amplification +8 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
Ye Chuan's eyes lit up slightly, "Succeeded on the first try?"
Not only that, the amplification level of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also reached 70%. This was a solid improvement. A few more enhancements, and the power of the treasure could even double directly!
[Spend 1,440,000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
"Isn't this a bit expensive?" Seeing the price of over a million, Ye Chuan immediately began to question his life. Could it be that the price doubles for each level of enhancement?
"Forget it, let's give it a try."
"Money's no object!"
The furnace began to shake again. Accompanied by a pleasant melody, a new pop-up appeared—
[Amplification +9 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
[Spend 3,000,000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
Spend!
[Amplification +10 Ten Thousand Souls Banner failed]
Ye Chuan glanced at his backpack and found that the enhancement level of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had actually reset to 0!
"Huh? That can't be right." Thinking about the millions he had spent ending up with a reset, Ye Chuan seemed to understand that enhancing high-level equipment wasn't an easy task.
At the very least, several million had already gone down the drain now, even more outrageous than the previous pools for drawing innate constitutions and spiritual roots.
"As expected, once a person starts having money, the system starts finding ways to fleece them."
Ye Chuan crossed his arms and thought for a while, then finally decided to get himself a +10 Ten Thousand Souls Banner to see.
[Amplification +1 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
[Amplification +2 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
...
[Amplification +9 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful]
"What the...?" Ye Chuan looked at the +9 Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his backpack and was so angry he laughed.
Just now, it cycled through +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, not even reaching +8 once, directly costing Ye Chuan over twenty million!
[Spend 3,000,000 for Enhancement Amplification?]
Come on, spend!
[Amplification +10 Ten Thousand Souls Banner successful!]
Finally, accompanied by a pleasant sound, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner finally reached the +10 level.
Ye Chuan took a look and found that the amplification attribute of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had reached 120%. This was a quite exaggerated value. Although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself possessed a growth attribute, this percentage amplification attribute seemed to be independent.
In other words, every time the Ten Thousand Souls Banner absorbed a soul in the future, it would receive this 120% amplification!
"If you want to get stronger, you really have to spend money after all."
Looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his backpack, Ye Chuan suddenly felt a bit restless. He glanced at the next stage; it seemed +11 could amplify the attribute to 150%.
But the success rate was only 22%.
"Whatever, let's try." Ye Chuan once again placed his Ten Thousand Souls Banner into the furnace, but a new prompt appeared.
[Equipment will be destroyed upon failure of Amplification +11. Continue?]
Ye Chuan: "..."
He silently put the Ten Thousand Souls Banner back into his backpack.
No way.
If it gets destroyed, all the souls he had collected for so long would be completely wasted, wouldn't they?
"If only it wouldn't break." Just as Ye Chuan was thinking that, a new window appeared—
[Equipment Protection Vouchers now on hot sale!
Countdown: 23 hours 59 minutes]
[Item: Equipment Protection Voucher
Protects a +10 or above equipment once from being destroyed upon amplification failure.]
"..." Ye Chuan silently glanced at the price and found the protection voucher cost one million each.
What to do, it feels like a familiar flavor.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
