YM778.TV Chapter 263:170 Income_2
Unfortunately, Dean McKenzie did not have a high-level equipment blacksmith on his side. Although there were some at the gathering place, their levels were too low to use materials of this level.
However, when Dean was examining these items, he noticed that Old Six s demeanor was off, exhibiting significant wariness and tension, as if afraid
Dean would take these items away.
“Do you want them?
If you do, then just say it, how would I know you want them if you don t say…
Holy crap, you just go for it!”
Before Dean could finish speaking, Old Six scooped up the items and walked away!
Just like that.
Apparently, Old Six has understood its status at home.
In this household, Old Six is the boss; whatever material it wants has to be offered to it first.
Of course, Old Six does have the right to this privilege.
Recently, Old Six’s upgrade of the Bone Tomb shows promising progress, and it seems that mass production is about to be realized.
Once the Bone Tomb can be mass-produced, Old Six will become the boss of
the Land of Bone.
After Old Six took away the materials, Dean simply opened the light points and
chest together.
[You opened 675 light points, acquired 120,000 Gold Coms, 150 purple gold
coins]
[You obtained Golden Equipment: Strength is Power, Distant Mountain Shield]
[You obtained a Skill Stone: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)]
[You obtained Materials: Heart of the Ogre King (Extraordinary)]
[You opened a chest, acquired 100 purple gold coins, item: Intermediate skill enhancement scroll!]
Over six hundred light points and a chest gave Dean massive amounts of items.
Among them, many were incredibly useful for Dean.
Like the two pieces of golden-quality equipment.
Equipment: Strength is Power (Gauntlet)
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Equipment requirement: Physique of 100,000
Effect 1: Strength is Power (Activation required. Upon activation, for 30 minutes, physique increases 3 times, every point of physique gets an additional 200 points of defense, and reflects 50% of the opponent’s attack)
Effect 2: Physique increased by 2.1 times, Defense increased by 2.1 times
Effect 3: Increases Warrior skill level by 1 (max 12)
Equipment: Distant Mountain Shield
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Equipment requirement: Shield Warrior
Effect 1: Passively increases fixed defense by 3 times
Effect 2: Defense type skill level +2 (max 12)
Effect 3: Distant Mountain Defense (Passively increase the fixed defense of friendly units within 1000 meters by 20% of their own)
These two pieces were very suitable for Old Four, and Old Four is now equipped with them.
Although Old Four’s official physique is only around 52,000, it has Defense Strengthen (B), which can passively increase their base defense by 300%.
Then there’s Dean’s Command Skeleton.
The physique of 52,000, under the boost, could reach 300,000, enough to equip these two pieces of equipment.
AfDeanter donning these two pieces of equipment, Old Four’s Guardian Shield immediately gained 3 levels, and its attributes took another terrifying leap.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (1 Force)
Level: 2+3 (721 ten thousand/1000 ten thousand)
Consumption: 600,000 Spirit power
Effect: Once activated, the Guardian Shield is enabled. It links to five units and transfers the damage they receive to itself.
Passively increase physique by 29 times plus 280*50,000 fixed defense,
Nullifies thirty-nine percent of the damage
Trait: None
The attributes are simply terrifying.
Just the basic ADDITIONAL defense has reached 14 million, it’s horrifying!
The stronger Old Four’s defense, the stronger Dean’s sense of security. “Now with Old Four’s defense, I wouldn’t dare say against seven-turns, but he should be essentially invincible against six-turns, right?
Uh, that’s not quite right, it’s still not secure!
Old Four’s trait is only [Perfect], if the opponent has the [Extraordinary] trait, whether Old Four’s trait can offset it is still uncertain.
Well, we’ll have to upgrade Old Four’s traits when the Two Forces arrive. We need to get it at least to Extraordinary!”
Dean McKenzie thought to himself while focusing his attention on the remaining few items.
Skill Stone Stele: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)
Usage requirements: Mage
Description: Permanent Skill Book, can be activated for 500 gold coins each time and can allow five mage units to acquire the [Meteorite Fall] skill inheritance each time.
PS: There’s a chance of failing the inheritance
“500 gold coins each time, five at a time, isn’t that essentially equivalent to too gold coins for one fifth-turn skill?”
Dean McKenzie’s eyes lit up and he tried it out first thing, teaming up with Old
Six and three skeleton mages to start the inheritance.
[You obtained the [Meteorite Fall] inheritance, your skill [Small Meteorite Technique] has been upgraded to [Meteorite Fall]!]
[Your Wraith Servants failed to obtain the [Meteorite Fall] inheritance^]
After shelling out 500 gold coins, only Dean himself successfully received the inheritance, all the other four including Old Six failed.
Only then did Dean realize just how high the chance of failure was for this transfer.
“An 80 percent failure rate?
No, that’s strange, maybe it’s because I learnt the [Small Meteorite Technique], otherwise I may have failed too, it looks like the failure rate could be above ninety percent.”
After roughly estimating the failure rate, Dean was a little disappointed, but he first checked out the new skill he had acquired.
Dean had just tried it for fun initially and hadn’t expected that he, at fourth-turn, would actually learn a fifth-turn skill. Wouldn’t it be best to take a good look at it?
Skill: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)
Skill Level: Level 1 (500 thousand)
Magic Consumption: 250 thousand mana Effects: Summons a meteorite to strike the target, causing instant damage of 32 times the spiritual power plus 500 thousand magic strength.
After the meteorite lands, it causes 40% of the momentary damage as impact damage to the surroundings, with damage decreasing by 10% for every additional too meters of impact range.
PS: This skill can be cast in conjunction, with each additional mage chanting, the skill damage will increase by fifty percent
Dean looked at the properties of this skill, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
Just a single [Meteorite Fall] on its own seemed rather ordinary, not very remarkable among the fifth-turn skills.
But the fact that it could be cast in conjunction made a significant difference.
For each additional caster, damage increases by fifty percent, 2 bring it to 100%, 20 to 1000%, 200 to 10000%!
Dean suddenly realized, this skill seemed very promising! “Maybe, I can try creating a Skeleton Mage Group next! Not just for this one [Meteorite Fall], I can round up more skills that can be cast in conjunction.
Yeah, since the mages have such a skill that can be cast conjointly, then the archers, warriors, shield warriors, knights, etc. should have them as well, right?”
Speaking of which, Dean couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.
If he could get hold of a large number of conjoint skills, then the combat power of his skeleton legion would definitely get a huge boost.
“Push other things aside for now, first create a Mage Legion!”
Dean said, while handling the last two items.
The [Heart of the One-eyed Ogre King] is an extraordinary quality material that can be used for refining medicine, making equipment, and even for the promotion quest. It just couldn’t be eaten directly.
Dean played with it for a while, tossed it to Old Eight, and told him to ask Old Six if he wanted it.
In the end, he picked up the[Intermediate Skill Enhancement Scroll].
This thing could enhance a fourth-turn to sixth-turn skill that hasn’t been enhanced.
Dean took a look and promptly used it on the newly obtained [Meteorite Fall]! [You’ve used the [Intermediate Skill Enhancement Scroll] on the skill [Meteorite Fall], your skill [Meteorite Fall] has been successfully enhanced!]
Skill: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn) (Enhanced)
Skill Level: Level 1 (500 thousand)
Magic Consumption: 300 thousand mana
Effects: Summons a meteorite to strike the target, causing instant damage of 32 times the spiritual power plus 2 times 500 thousand magic strength.
After the meteorite lands, it causes 50% of the momentary damage as impact damage to the surroundings, with damage decreasing by 10% for every additional too meters of the impact range.
PS: This skill can be cast in conjunction, with each additional mage chanting, the skill damage will increase by 100%.
I went wild for the May Day holiday and used up all my saved drafts. I owe two thousand characters, I’ll make it up later..
