er carefully)"Without hesitation, the task was accepted. The system prompt sounded again."You have received the hidden quest [Guardian]. As you are the first player in Security Zone 886 to obtain a hi...Instead of being shocked, Zhang Yi felt a sense of joy.

In the Tianqi world, when players conduct equipment identification, there's a small chance of triggering an advanced identification. For equipment of equal value, the cost of advanced identification is 10-50 times that of ordinary identification. Advanced identification is akin to gambling; it has a certain probability of increasing equipment quality, but also a certain probability of decreasing it.

Zhang Yi thought, even if the 1-star equipment was the worst, it couldn't drop to 0 stars, right

Then, without hesitation, spent 50 silver coins for a high-level appraisal.

The appraiser's boss waved his hand over the black pants, and suddenly a golden light flashed—

"Ding~ Identification successful, congratulations your 1-star equipment [Magic Pants] has been upgraded to 2 stars!"

Character burst! Actually reborn, this lifetime's first time triggering high-level appraisal, just successfully ascended stars!

Because Zhang Yi is also quite familiar with this.

When evaluating equipment, players only have a 10% chance of triggering an advanced evaluation. If an advanced evaluation is triggered, there's only a 10% chance that the equipment's attributes and quality will be further enhanced. Additionally, there's a 40% chance that it remains unchanged, and a high 50% chance that the equipment's quality will decrease!

This time I'm truly blessed!

I suddenly got two 2-star pieces of equipment, this surprise came too suddenly.

He took a look at his backpack. Through mission rewards, monster drops, and the 100 enhancement stones from Angel of the Storm, Zhang Yi currently had as many as 390 level 1 enhancement stones!

A 2:1 synthesis rate allows you to get almost 200 level 2 enhancement stones, enough to enhance a full set of 2-star equipment to the maximum level of 25! Using them solely to enhance the newly obtained [Eternal Chain] and [Mage Pants] would be more than sufficient.

Right now, even if Zhang Yi wanted to strengthen his whole body, he had the capital to do so. After all, counting these two pieces of equipment, Zhang Yi only had 3 pieces of 2-star quality equipment on his seven body parts.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi, who was desperately searching for strengthening stones in his previous life, now had so many of them in this life that he couldn't use them all...

Then, Zhang Yi came to the blacksmith's shop.

This is also a hassle, players who want to synthesize strengthening stones still have to come to the blacksmith's shop.

In the blacksmith's shop, Il, who had lost his right arm, was still there working with his left hand to forge equipment. The crisp clang and clang sounds were clearly audible, while his daughter Lingling surrounded him, and the father and daughter both wore happy smiles on their faces.

And it can be seen that the equipment Il is forging is precisely the metal staff promised to be custom-made for Zhang Yi!

It doesn't look like an ordinary item.

Although Zhang Yi had previously saved Il's life through a hidden mission, it didn't affect his decision to charge Zhang Yi for the cost of synthesizing enhancement stones here.

However, because Zhang Yi's intimacy level with the blacksmith shop owner has reached level 1, any consumption at the blacksmith shop will receive a 95% discount.

One-star equipment is already phasing out and the era of universal two-star equipment is about to arrive. For Zhang Yi, being able to enter the two-star era earlier than average players is a significant advantage, so from now on, there is no longer a need for one-level enhancement stones.

So, Zhang Yi decided to synthesize all 390 level 1 enhancement stones at once, obtaining 195 level 2 enhancement stones!

At a crafting cost of 5 copper coins each, the original cost of 975 copper coins, after a 95% discount, Zhang Yi paid Il 926 copper coins...

Zhang Yi, who had obtained enough Level 2 Enhancement Stones, eagerly equipped the un-enchanted [Eternal Chain] and [Mage Pants] in his inventory.

Unlimited trigger 【God-level Enhancement】.

"Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations on your equipment [Eternal Chain] reaching enhancement level 8..."

“Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations your equipment [Eternal Chain] has reached enhancement level 15…”

“Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations your equipment [Eternal Chain] enhancement level reached 25, unlocking the exclusive talent [Skill Enhancement]!”

"Ding..."

"Ding…"

"Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations your equipment [Wizard Pants] enhancement level reached 25, unlock the exclusive talent [Damage Reduction]!"

The Eternal Chain of 25, its basic energy property is increased from 60 to 210 points, and the added intelligence is also increased from 6 to 21 points!

Converted to Zhang Yi's 14-star intelligence growth, an additional 21 intelligence can bring 29 points of attack power and 35 points of energy bonus.

This is secondary, the most important thing is to strengthen the exclusive talent [Skill Enhancement] that unlocks at level 25, Invincibility —

Skill Enhancement: Increases the wielder's skill damage by 20% (group skill damage bonus is halved).

This talent perfectly complements the low skill damage of the Beastmaster profession. After obtaining this talent, Zhang Yi's [Fireball] damage coefficient reaches 130%, which is even higher than the Mage's [Fireball] by 5%!

As for the magician's pants, the attributes after being strengthened to the highest level are also outrageous.

Magic Pants (25):

Quality: 2 stars

Level: 14

Physical Defense: 70 (50)

Magic Defense: 56 (40)

Additional attribute: Stamina 21 (15)

Talent: Damage Reduction (Equipment wearer's damage reduced by 25 points each time they are damaged)

Job restrictions: Applicable to all legal professions

A defense of 70 points, this single pair of trousers' attributes alone exceed Zhang Yi's current total defense of 67 points!

Plus 25 points of damage reduction, it's simply invincible. After equipping these pants, who could possibly hurt Zhang Yi!

It's a shame that Zhang Yi, who is only level 13 at the moment, can't use this level 14 pants. So he temporarily put it in his backpack and equipped the "Chain of Eternity" instead. His maximum energy value soared to 482, almost catching up to Zhang Yi's 504 qi and blood.

With equipment sorted, Zhang Yi turned his attention to Il who was busily forging equipment. He initiated a conversation with her.

"How long will it take to make my staff"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Er suddenly put down his hammer and picked up a silver staff from the anvil. "Alright," he said to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was stunned: "So rash..."

"It's just that the staff in my hand always feels like something is missing," Il said with a touch of regret, "It's good, but it's not perfect yet."

"If you want it now, I can give it to you right away," Il said. "But if you can find me an energy crystal, I can make it even more perfect!"

This… is there still room for improvement

Zhang Yi was overjoyed: "No problem, I can go find energy crystals for you. Please continue to forge this weapon to perfection for me." the rankings and saw that while I was resting, other players were frantically climbing. Zhang Yi, who had been ranked first in the 886th safety zone level ranking, suddenly dropped to dozens of place...
