18. Weapon Enhancement: The Ultimate Weapon of the Future!
[Weapon Enhancement Card]
Rank: Special Item
Effect: Allows you to enhance a weapon you like, increasing its hardness and sharpness. When the enhancement level reaches a certain level, you will also gain additional attribute modifiers!
-
This is the information displayed by the weapon enhancement card. The tier is not shown, indicating it is a special item.
Using this feature allows you to enhance your desired weapon, increasing its hardness and sharpness. When the enhancement level reaches a certain point, you can even obtain special weapon attributes.
This weapon attribute is similar to the special skills or unique characteristics that weapons have in online games.
Such unique features are absolutely extremely powerful.
Lin Fan glanced down at the Tang sword in his hand. After using it for so long, he had become increasingly adept at it.
However, this was just an ordinary cold weapon. Although it was made of good material and was not a cheap handicraft, after cutting down so many zombies along the way, the blade had developed minor nicks and was chipped.
If it weren't for his immense strength, the Tang sword might not have been able to cut through the zombies.
Although it doesn't affect the use of the Blade Qi Across the Land skill, you still need to use normal slashing when clearing out individual monsters. After all, using skills consumes your own energy and spirit, and prolonged use will lead to impotence.
Therefore, except when encountering large groups of zombies, Lin Fan usually uses melee combat methods.
This method of warfare is the most reasonable for him, but it does place a heavy burden on his weaponry.
This powerful weapon enhancement card has come at just the right time; it's like a pillow delivered just when you're sleepy.
Without much hesitation, Lin Fan directly slapped the enhancement card in his hand onto the Tang sword.
The blue enhancement card is about the same size as a regular card, with special patterns drawn along its edges, and blue light can be seen flashing through it from time to time.
The moment the enhancement card touched the Tang sword, it transformed into a dazzling blue light, seeping into the sword like flowing water.
Ding Dong!
[Weapon upgrade successful. You have obtained - Tang Sword +1]
[Tang Sword +1]
Rank: White
Sharpness: 2-4
Ignore monster attack power +10
Features: None
Description: This is a decent weapon that can easily cleave ordinary monsters, and it also has a good effect of ignoring defense against monsters of level one and above.
-
Once the weapon upgrade was complete, information about the Tang sword also appeared.
In other words, from the moment the enhancement was completed, the Tang sword in Lin Fan's hand transformed from an ordinary cold weapon into a weapon with attributes.
Don't underestimate this seemingly simple change; the differences here are huge.
Having an equipment panel not only means that this handy weapon can be further enhanced, but it also has attribute bonuses similar to those in online games.
The "sharpness" attribute should refer to the armor-piercing value of its sharpness.
Having this armor penetration value makes it easier to break through the enemy's defenses.
Needless to say, the additional attack power that ignores defense is an attribute that can directly increase lethality.
Anyone who has played a certain "Dungeon Fighter Online" game knows that if this attribute is given to a class that relies on attack power, it will provide a huge boost.
obviously,
Lin Fan, this god of death, benefits from such an attack power boost, since his battles with his opponents are all about visceral impact.
"roar!!"
The commotion attracted a lot of zombies, which was a good opportunity for him to test his knife.
Without any fancy moves, as soon as the attracted zombies rushed forward, Lin Fan raised his hand and slashed with his knife.
The zombie was decapitated without any resistance, as easily as a cleaver cutting tofu.
Although the creature in front of him was an ordinary zombie, he could have easily beheaded it before.
But these were all cut down by brute force.
But now, with just a casual swing, almost without any force, relying solely on the momentum of the Tang sword, he easily decapitated the zombie.
Such sharpness is comparable to that of legendary weapons from ancient times.
"roar!"
Soon more zombies came up, and this time there were several of them together.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly, then unleashed a torrent of sword energy.
He wanted to see if he would receive any buffs when using his skills.
Firstly, it penetrates armor; secondly, it deals damage that ignores defense.
It was originally just an experiment, after all, sword aura attacks don't seem to have much to do with weapons.
But when he unleashed his sword energy and swept it across the charging horde of zombies, he was overjoyed.
Because of the attack of the Blade Qi Crossing skill, it also received an enhanced attribute bonus, making the sweeping motion cleaner and the cut smoother than before.
Just looking at these two points is enough to understand the situation.
"Excellent, very good!"
Lin Fan spoke happily, raising his hand to gently stroke the blade of the Tang sword.
Such a great benefit from just one enhancement.
If we get a few more weapon enhancement cards and keep enhancing weapons like we are now, what would happen?
Once it's upgraded to +13, will it transform into a divine weapon emitting a red glow?
Looking down at the blade of the Tang sword, one could vaguely see a faint white luster shimmering within it.
"There are so many mutated zombies now, getting these enhancement cards shouldn't be difficult. Whoever produced so many mutated zombies, I really have to thank you!"
Lin Fan licked his lips. He really had to thank the person who had brought out so many mutated zombies.
But for now, let's keep a low profile and make a fortune first. Once we're strong enough, we can thank you however we want.
With such excellent examples before him, Lin Fan didn't pay much attention to the skill books that dropped around the same time.
However, after reading the skill book's information, a look of surprise appeared on his face again. The items that had dropped both times were actually good stuff!
[The Eye of Investigation]
Rank: Special Item
Effect: Detects information about monsters no higher than five levels above the user's own level!
-
It's a very simple piece of information, but anyone who's played online games knows how important this simple information is.
It allows you to detect monster information, which is an amazing ability in a game where you can't revive after dying once.
After all, rushing in without knowing anything is practically suicide, and you might not even know how you died.
With this skill, this situation can be perfectly avoided.
If you're unsure about a monster, you can use this skill to investigate it first before deciding whether to keep or leave it.
[Should I study?]
"study!"
Lin Fan had no intention of saving such a good resource for the New Year; he immediately chose to study it.
The familiar light once again penetrated deep into the space between his brows, and a new skill appeared on his personal panel.
As if telepathically connected, Lin Fan looked towards a zombie not far away.
[Ordinary Zombie]
Rank: 0
Skills: Scratching, Biting
Description: A product of failed human evolution, the weakest monster!
When you focus your gaze, an introductory message appears; this is the effect of the Eye of Exploration.
Lin Fan grinned and looked once again at the other female zombie, who was short but somewhat obese.
This was originally just a verification and investigation, but when the Eye of Probing revealed the information, his pupils suddenly contracted.
