Chapter 22: Soul Slaying, Shockingly Powerful Effect!
Until then, Zhao Xing remained oblivious to it. What he had recently enchanted was, in fact, level 40 king-tier gear!
“My ntal and physical strength plumted by 200 in an instant, continuing to drop by dozens of points. Thankfully, I made ample preparations.”
“Luckily, I donned a few more purple items. The higher-ups provided with purple gear tailored for auxiliary professions to avoid a repeat of last ti. While lacking a set effect, they enhance specific attributes – ntal and physical strength.”
Zhao Xing had previously enchanted these items, elevating the attributes of level 15 purple gear to match that of level 35 counterparts. Initially, it didn’t prove useful due to the peculiar nature of the equipnt, and he did not need for it. However, the situation had changed. Returning his focus to the gear, it was a firearm designed for chanics.
[Ashes of Soul].
[Level: 40].
[Quality: King (Red)].
[Attack Power: 600 (400 200)].
The values outside the brackets represented total attributes, while those inside indicated original attributes plus enchanting attributes.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing remained unfazed. Firearm weapons like the Ashes of Soul typically had modest single-attack power for a level 40 king-tier equipnt. Even after enchanting, it lagged behind so martial arts or magic equipnt of similar quality. The key lay in its rate of fire – how rapidly it could attack per second.
[Rate of Fire: 30 (10 20)].
[Power: 150 (50 100)].
[Speed: 10 (2 8)].
[Hit rate: 40% (30% 10%)].
Although its individual attack power was ager, the output surged several tis imdiately due to the increased rate of fire. It outclassed other professions in output, relying on attributes such as hit rate, speed, movent speed, and fire rate – crucial for chanics.
Even Zhao Xing, with limited expertise, recognized that this weapon’s attributes alone surpassed other sa-level equipnt.
Ashes of Soul featured two effects. The original effect, [Soul Burning], granted each bullet a 10% chance to bypass defenses and inflict real damage. Zhao Xing knew this was formidable. The second effect, [Soul Slaying], added after enchantnt, had a 3% chance for each bullet to reduce the target’s HP by 30%.
“Huh? This effect…” Zhao Xing was montarily shocked. It seed too extraordinary. With luck, one could eliminate a target in just four shots – a true nesis for high HP bosses.
Though the effect’s introduction was concise, Zhao Xing wasn’t concerned. Higher-ups likely handled detailed testing and any potential restrictions. Holding the firearm, Zhao Xing smiled. After extensive work, he finally crafted a satisfying piece. There should be recognition for his talent, and this gun ought to prove it.
“Seeing how delighted you are, it seems it’s done?” Guan Ya inquired.
“Well, finally, one ca out,” Zhao Xing said with a smile. I’ll be taking more walks with Sister Ya in the future, and the first one will be shipped as soon as I get back.
“Pfft, you just know how to tease ,” Guan Ya remarked. “Hurry up and send it over. They should be waiting.”
“Um.”
After explaining to Fang Hong, Zhao Xing halted the enchanting process. It was ti for him to rest too.
…
The eting room’s door swung open with a bang. Fang Hong hurriedly entered. Zhang Haiqiang and others paid no mind to his abrupt entrance. Instead, they eagerly peered in, anticipation etched on their faces.
Zhang Haiqiang, maintaining composure, calmly inquired, “Director Fang, from what it looks like, Zhao Xing has succeeded?”
Fang Hong excitedly exclaid, “Yes, leader, it’s done! This…”
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Hong felt the equipnt being taken away by Wang Long. Fang Hong couldn’t help but laugh, opting to walk away silently and obediently close the door.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly heated up.
“Leaders, don’t get too excited. Everyone is tired. Let , an enchanter, handle this trivial appraisal.” Lin Feng, despite being old, was quick and the first to approach Wang Long.
“Old Lin, you’re advanced in age; why are you still going out by yourself? I’ll do it.” Liu Qingshan, a robust sword fighter, promptly shoved Lin Feng aside, drawing an anxious glare from the elderly enchanter.
Unable to snatch it, Shen Yun scolded Liu Qingshan alongside Lin Feng, criticizing his lack of martial arts ethics, pitting strength against auxiliary professions, and exploiting superpower skills.
Though others remained seated, their eyes were fixed on the unfolding scene.
Wang Long, with a hint of regret, held the weapon. “It’s a pity. This is for chanics, soul binding. It’s a waste if I use it.”
“Liu Qingshan, don’t grab it. You won’t need it. Don’t waste it.”
Unhappy, Liu Qingshan retorted, “A level 40 king-grade equipnt isn’t a big deal.”
After all, he was a Transcendent above level 60. A level 40 king-grade equipnt held less value for him. Even if crafted by Zhao Xing, its research significance outweighed its practicality.
Wang Long smacked the weapon onto Liu Qingshan’s chest. “Co on, take a look at its attributes. If you want punishnt, unseal it. Do you dare?”
Reluctantly taking it, Liu Qingshan examined it, then shook his head with a bitter expression. “Good guy, I really don’t dare.”
Lin Feng, agitated, scolded, “What the hell are you two doing, reporting the attributes like a ga of charades? Just read it!”
Liu Qingshan handed the weapon to Lin Feng, saying, “Old Lin, take a look, don’t bind it.”
Lin Feng took the weapon, stared at it dumbfounded, and muttered, “I’m stupid! This, this, this…”
Everyone fell silent. Lin Feng, agile just monts ago, now seed at a loss for words. The old man appeared more ink-stained than anticipated. Eventually, Zhang Haiqiang took over and read out the attributes one by one.
When the second additional effect was revealed, the entire conference room fell into silence.
Observing their expressions, Zhang Haiqiang wryly smiled and said, “It seems that this equipnt cannot be tested today.”
Everyone shared the sa thought. King-level equipnt was bound once unsealed, and only the bound person could use it. The attribute unveiled was clearly not sothing to be casually tested by others. Its actual combat capabilities might exceed imagination, requiring a worthy user to avoid wasting resources.
“Old Wang, find an extraordinary chanic and bring them here. Ensure they sign the confidentiality agreent before discussing the business.”
“No problem, leave it to .”
Without further delay, Wang Long left to make a phone call. Zhang Haiqiang distributed the weapons for everyone to examine, his expression reflecting a sense of helplessness. Being too talented had its downsides. Among the experts in the room, no one was qualified to test Zhao Xing’s enchanted equipnt.
“It seems that Nanhu Province can’t keep him anymore. Once the test results are out, we need to report them as soon as possible.”
