"How much cash do I have on hand again?" Ye Chuan glanced at his balance.
Not much, just over five billion.
His recent spending hadn't been high, perhaps because Haki Tong hadn't rolled out any new money-burning features lately. Plus, the sunflowers at home were bursting with coins every day, causing the money in Ye Chuan's hands to pile up more and more.
"Haki Tong, you're trying to tempt me to spend money like this, aren't you?"
But to be honest, Ye Chuan was indeed hooked.
At his current power level, every 1% improvement was a massive gain. Now, with a chance to get a multiplier boost to his attributes, he naturally didn't want to let it slip.
"Let's spend."
Without a second thought, Ye Chuan dove headfirst into the enhancement process.
He didn't know how much time had passed. The enhancement glow flickered on his face. After several failures, Ye Chuan, unsure of how much he had spent, finally managed to get his Ten Thousand Soul Banner to +11.
"Damn, I bought several protection scrolls. Is a 22% success rate really that cursed?!" Ye Chuan felt like he had been at it forever.
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Soul Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 11
Attribute Boost: 150%
+12 Enhancement Success Rate: 22%]
[Spend 12,000,000 to perform enhancement?]
"The success rate hasn't dropped further, but this cost is getting a bit outrageous." Ye Chuan looked at his balance again.
This kind of spending was already in the hundreds of millions.
And that's just for enhancing one magical artifact. What about all the other items in his backpack?
If each one costs hundreds of millions, his wallet might start feeling the strain.
But fortunately, with the 150% boost, Ye Chuan was quite satisfied with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner's improvement.
Especially considering its inherent growth attributes combined with this enhancement level, it was a classic case of 1+1 being greater than 2.
"Feels like another big power spike today." Ye Chuan lay on his bed, as if letting out a sigh of relief.
He rolled over, his gaze silently falling back on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner's upgrade chance.
It's a 22% probability, but what if it succeeds in one try?
"A one-in-five chance isn't that low, right? What if I get a lucky streak?"
Ye Chuan rolled over again. "Hmm..."
"Forget it, don't push your luck."
"But... what if?"
"+12 is a 200% attribute boost, meaning the banner's power would literally double!"
"But if it fails... my wallet might take a serious hit."
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Soul Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 11
Attribute Boost: 150%
+12 Enhancement Success Rate: 22%]
[Spend 12,000,000 to perform enhancement?]
22%...
Ye Chuan stared at the icon, wrestling with the decision, before finally deciding to cool down.
He was getting a bit carried away.
Ye Chuan chose to open a short video app, planning to mindlessly scroll to calm himself.
The first video that popped up started playing its soundtrack—
["Go all out, don't overthink it~"]
["That's the spirit a man should have~"]
Silently, Ye Chuan reopened the enhancement interface. Looking at the 22% probability, he suddenly hardened his heart and decisively tossed the banner in.
Screw it!
Spend!
The furnace began to shake, this time slower than ever. Watching the Ten Thousand Soul Banner's icon wobble inside, as if scorched by flames, Ye Chuan simply closed his eyes.
Succeed!
Succeed!
Before Ye Chuan could open his eyes, a delightful chime reached his ears. He immediately looked.
[+12 Enhancement of Ten Thousand Soul Banner Successful!]
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Soul Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 12
Attribute Boost: 200%
+13 Enhancement Success Rate: 22%]
[Spend 24,000,000 to perform enhancement?]
"Hahaha, nice." Seeing it had actually succeeded, Ye Chuan grinned from ear to ear.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner's power had directly doubled!
"Huh?" But at that moment, Ye Chuan looked at the next enhancement level and saw that +13 offered a 300% boost!
"Triple? For real?" Ye Chuan was stunned, completely unprepared for such an exaggerated increase later on.
"Should I give it a try?" he asked himself.
He had so much money on hand; not spending it was a waste.
Using it to boost combat power was the most cost-effective, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was one of his strongest artifacts.
A 1% boost was a game-changer; 300% was like adding a hundred million in power!
"But what if it fails?" Ye Chuan began considering the consequences again.
If it fails...
At most, he'd lose some money.
Damn it, whatever!
"Go all out, don't overthink it!" Without hesitation, Ye Chuan threw the +12 Ten Thousand Soul Banner in. Then, not daring to watch, he turned off the music and flipped his phone face down on the bed.
"..."
Instead of picking up the phone, Ye Chuan got up and left the room. He poured himself a glass of water, but his eyes kept drifting back to his bedroom door.
"What's wrong, Ye Chuan? You look so tense." Lan Xiaoke, curled up on the sofa watching a movie, saw his behavior and grew curious.
"Acting like a thief."
"You don't understand men." Ye Chuan took a sip of water.
"I totally do," Lan Xiaoke said.
Ye Chuan didn't explain. After silently finishing his water, he still didn't check his phone. Instead, he directly summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
The moment the banner appeared, the surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point, its aura terrifying to the extreme!
"Hahaha, hahahahaha!" The instant Ye Chuan gripped the soul banner and felt the power within, he understood everything!
"Y-Ye Chuan, are you okay?" Seeing Ye Chuan suddenly summon his artifact and let out a sinister laugh, Lan Xiaoke instinctively hugged a pillow tighter and cautiously asked,
"Are... are you going to kill your pet to prove your Dao?"
"What?" Ye Chuan stored the Ten Thousand Soul Banner away. Seeing Lan Xiaoke's dumbfounded expression, he just smiled and went back to his room, leaving a confused Lan Xiaoke behind.
Watching him go, Lan Xiaoke scratched her head.
What was that all about.
[+13 Enhancement of Ten Thousand Soul Banner Successful!]
[Equipment: Ten Thousand Soul Banner Gold
Enhancement Level: 13
Attribute Boost: 300%
+14 Enhancement Success Rate: 22%]
[Spend 68,000,000 to perform enhancement?]
Ye Chuan picked up his phone. Seeing the pop-up notification, he hadn't expected to succeed twice in a row with a 22% chance.
"Not bad." Ye Chuan nodded in satisfaction. However, his gaze lingered for a few seconds when he noticed the +14 option.
"Should I..."
"Forget it, forget it."

The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
