After seeing the Great Lion off, Xi Wei began to think about the item strengthening system.
First and foremost, Xi Wei wasn't a devil. He certainly wouldn't lower the success rate like the game company and drop the Players' equipment.
Still, strengthening weapons and equipment wasn't as simple as it seemed.
As a skill that required divine blessings, the dwarven smiths had a success rate in the first place. The better the weapon, the lower the success rate.
According to the Great Lion, that was a limitation the world itself had on Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine. It was just like how Players couldn't keep hovering or CC their enemies to death through the Rule of Skill …
Otherwise, if a weapon could be strengthened without limit, everyone in this world would already have a lightsaber like Excalibur, and Xi Wei and the Players wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Moreover, it was fine to use divine blessings at first, but it would inevitably consume divine energy if they kept strengthening the weapon after the number of strengthening had reached a certain limit.
Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine definitely wouldn't waste his divine energy for a few bottles of cola, which was why Xi Wei would have to pay for it himself.
If he didn't set a limit and let the Players strengthen it as they pleased, Xi Wei would probably die from exhaustion by the next day.
"As expected, it's better to restrict it through game coins and strengthening materials." The game companies back on Earth had already explored a relatively complete strengthening process for him, and he naturally didn't have to create a unique strengthening system. "Each time I strengthen it, the amount of game coins and materials required would increase exponentially. As for whether the equipment would drop or drop if it fails, it's all up to the heavens … "
Game coins were fine since the Players only needed them at the System Shop, the System Restaurant, and the hot spring. That was why most Players had excess game coins at the moment.
The key was strengthening materials.
Xi Wei had considered that when he conceived the strengthening system before, but put it aside when he realized that he didn't have enough authority to perfect it. Now, with Stoff's help, he had to pick it up again.
In fact, Xi Wei would leave parts of the Players' corpses in the mortal realm as drops out of his own wicked sense of humor when he fought monsters.
However, due to the variety of monsters that the players fought, such as skeletons, zombies, giant spiders, beasts with twisted appearances, and humans with twisted hearts, the drops were all over the place.
"Tsk, it's too troublesome to patch in this situation. I might as well start from scratch." Xi Wei scratched what was probably his forehead on his ball-like body with his tentacles. "Incidentally, we could use the equipment strengthening mechanism to increase the Players' interest in clearing the fishmen island."
With that in mind, Xi Wei stretched out his tentacles as if he was stretching his back, and began to write an update document on his XP with a clatter.

The Fishmen Island did not seem to be fully operational, at least until now, no fishmen had come to attack the Frogmen Village.
At the same time, the Players gathered at the Warty Tidal Flats began to be wary of the faraway island. If not for the fact that the Players couldn't swim several kilometers in a single breath, they would have gone there to investigate what was on the surface of the sea …
Just as the sky darkened and everyone thought that nothing would happen, the Players received a new system notification.
