A Genius in a Second Remember Love? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The third strengthening had a high chance of failing. If it failed, the three Strengthening Stones and 30 gold coins would go down the drain.
At the moment, the drop rate of Strengthening Stones was very low. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to prepare for the first league tournament, Lu Li wouldn't have spent so much money. When the battlefield system was perfected, not only would the Arathi Basin and the Eye of the Storm be added to the Eye of the Storm and the Oaklander Valley be added to the 40-man battlefield, but the profits from the battlefield would also be improved. Therefore, it was possible to loot Strengthening Stones from the corpses of units killed on the battlefield.
At that time, the price of Strengthening Stones would naturally go down. As long as you were doing well, most people would be able to strengthen their equipment.
As for now, other than obtaining some from class advancement quests, other people could only obtain Strengthening Stones from bosses. Even the elite groups of major guilds might not have many.
The reason why Lu Li was so rich was because of the Hidden Dungeon exploration.
The third strengthening took a little longer. Lu Li's palms were sweaty from clenching so hard that he heard the System's prompt.
System: You really are the best. Congratulations on successfully strengthening Pamela's Gift for the third time.
Success!
Lu Li was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to take the equipment out of the furnace.
The effects of the first two Enhancements were quite average. For Lu Li, it was only because of the quality of his equipment that the Enhancements were more effective. If it was an average piece of equipment, it would have given you some Armor or two Attribute Points.
Pamela's Gift (Dark Gold) * 3: Accuracy + 30%, Damage + 15%. Special Effect: Pamela's Sweet Water Tea. Instant Cast. Immediately recovers 25% of HP. Recovers 2% per second for the next five seconds. Cannot be interrupted. Cannot be used on other targets. 30 minute cooldown. Equipment Requirement: Level 30. Durability 72/72
There was a Three of Clubs symbol on the back of the equipment, indicating that it had been strengthened three times.
In terms of attributes, there were two changes this time. The first was that Pamela's Sweet Water Tea's HP regeneration had increased by 5% after three enhancements. This was already a very good effect. However, what excited Lu Li the most was the change in damage.
From 10% to 15%!
Don't think that this was a small amount. It was difficult to increase damage in the first place. Lu Li wanted to increase damage the most, even if it could increase it by 1%. What's more, this was an increase of 5%. If it accumulated over time, the total damage would not be a small amount.
Lu Li had the urge to continue strengthening it. If he strengthened it a few more times, would his damage increase to 100%?
Of course, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Li immediately extinguished it. In his previous life, he had seen countless people go crazy over strengthening their equipment. This was like an addictive gamble.
After strengthening it three times, he wanted to strengthen it four times. It would be even better if he could strengthen it four times. Wouldn't it be better if he was ranked fifth …
Thus, what awaited him was a path of no return.
Later on, the game company issued a warning to players to strengthen their equipment rationally. Lu Li still remembered the contents of the warning. In general, it was to ask players to act within their capabilities.
Lu Li deeply agreed. Those who didn't act within their capabilities could only survive by taking risks. They would never be able to become professional players.
After hanging the strengthened necklace around his neck, Lu Li started on the second piece of equipment – the Voodoo Pauldron. The first strengthening went smoothly, but the increase in attributes wasn't much. However, the additional Agility increased from 28 to 30. The second strengthening wasn't much better. It added 6 points, but it was a pity that they were all added to Strength.
He could only look forward to the third strengthening. Lu Li comforted himself. The first two strengthening must have been for the third strengthening. The third strengthening would definitely increase the special effect.
Moreover, there might even be a new special effect.
With this in mind, he stuffed the three strengthening stones and 30 gold into it. Fortunately, he had withdrawn some gold from Genhao San, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to afford it.
Now, whenever Lu Li ran out of money, he would ask Genhao San for it. It was no wonder that Weilan Haifeng would tease him.
System: Failure is the mother of success. Unfortunately, the third strengthening of the Voodoo Pauldron has failed.
He was stunned. Failed? Why did it fail?
Then, Lu Li smiled bitterly. He had really been blinded by the series of successes just now. He had almost forgotten that the scariest thing about strengthening equipment wasn't the unsatisfactory attributes, but the failure!
He picked up the equipment that had failed. His heart ached when he saw that the durability of the equipment had been reduced by half.
Fortunately, this was only the third strengthening, so it wasn't enough to damage the attributes.
If the durability wasn't enough, he could only repair it. Since the blacksmith's shop was behind him, Lu Li turned around and repaired the equipment. However, the cost of repairing the equipment made his scarred heart feel like it was being cut by another knife.
After repairing the equipment, Lu Li once again put in new strengthening stones and gold.
Just like before, he walked around the strengthening furnace three times. This superstitious method of praying didn't save him from the strengthening just now. However, he didn't lose anything. At least he could feel a bit more at ease.
System: You really are the best. Congratulations on successfully strengthening the Voodoo Pauldron for the third time.
He had finally succeeded. Lu Li let out a sigh of relief. If he had failed again, he really wouldn't have dared to strengthen this equipment.
After strengthening the equipment three times, there were no new special effects. However, Lu Li was very satisfied with the result. This time, the damage of Backhand Backstab had been increased from the original 20% to 25%.
Then, it was the other equipment, mainly Dark Gold or Gold set equipment. Normal equipment would have to be replaced after a while, so there was no need to strengthen it at the moment.
Apart from the weapons and rings, Lu Li spent nearly two hours strengthening eight pieces of equipment. These eight pieces of equipment were the Voodoo Pauldron, Voodoo Visor, Voodoo Chestplate, Voodoo Cloak, Pamela's Gift, Raider's Leather Pants, Killing Star Bracers, and Wirt's Third Leg.
Apart from the failure of the Voodoo Pauldron for the third time at the beginning, there were a few more failures after that.
If he didn't fail even once, he would have needed 48 strengthening stones and 480 gold to strengthen these eight pieces of equipment. Unfortunately, he failed twice during the second strengthening, and three times during the third strengthening, so he had to add on these losses. As a result, Lu Li had used a total of 61 strengthening stones and 610 gold.
He didn't have enough strengthening stones to strengthen all of his equipment, so he had to leave some for strengthening the most important weapons and legendary rings.
Looking at the final results of the strengthening, the overall attributes of the equipment had greatly increased, but no new special effects had appeared. Obviously, the probability of a new special effect appearing during the third strengthening was extremely low. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
Eight times without a new special effect. Lu Li wouldn't admit that it was a problem with his character. (To be continued.)
