Chapter 5 Strengthening (Part 1)

It was almost noon when I came back from the West District.

Back at the villa, I found that only gentleness was there.

"Where are they?" Shen Yi asked.

Rourou was negotiating a deal with someone, and replied without raising her head: "Fatty and Yiyu went to ** Island to preside over the merger of the islands and related protection systems, King Kong went to the low-difficulty area to preside over the sale of low-level equipment, I stayed on the trading platform to discuss the sale. Langqiu went to look for fusion potion materials."

Hong Lang's bloodline is extremely powerful, but the consumption is astonishingly high.

Shen Yi's bloodline transformation takes a few seconds, but Hong Lang's transformation is ten points a second, the gap is too big, not to mention the activation consumption. Even if the fused bloodline is much stronger than the Holy Dragon bloodline, there shouldn't be such a gap.

The reason for this is mainly because he is a fusion of two incompatible bloodlines, and he has designated reserved skills, resulting in bloodline consumption several times the normal consumption.

The fusion of the temple is only responsible for processing, not for follow-up services, so the job is not finished yet.

Fortunately, Jade Bird has a good relationship with them, and gave a solution, which is to use fusion medicine to further strengthen the fusion characteristics of the two bloodlines. This kind of medicine is somewhat similar to perfect blood. There is no finished product, and it can only be made by collecting materials by itself. Once successful, the bloodline consumption can't be said to return to normal, and it is no problem to reduce the consumption by half.

Materials are not expensive, but hard to find, so Hong Lang is now looking for materials all over the world.

Hearing the reply, Shen Yi said: "The matter of materials is not urgent for now, let them come back first, and design a strengthening plan first."

After obtaining the complete information on the fifth difficulty level, Shen Yi finally decided to start strengthening it. The enhancement of up to 8 million points does not mean that it can be used indiscriminately, but more careful. Therefore, the first thing is to call everyone back and hold a meeting on the enhancement plan to discuss and design it.

How to make good use of the remaining 7.7 million points has become a science.

The world overview of the fifth difficulty is actually in line with the current situation of the Broken Blade team. At least in terms of structure and construction, Shen Yi, who has summoned soldiers and the Second Corps, is one step ahead of any adventurer.

Because of this, Shen Yi can keep the basic preparation costs for the five-difficulty territory structure to a minimum. In addition, the Great Universe Project has come to an end, and the required supplementary investment has also been greatly reduced.

In these two aspects, Shen Yi estimated to keep 700,000 activity funds, which was enough no matter what.

That is to say,

The usable funds for this reinforcement are as high as seven million.

Here's the exciting news for everyone - finally no more throwing your hard-earned money down the bottomless pit.

But this does not mean that their points are enough.

Although the Broken Blade team earns a lot, there are also a lot of places to spend money.

The most costly part is the damage reduction in Shen Yi's plan.

The battle with Sargeras fully demonstrated the importance of damage reduction. In the face of thousands of powerful attacks from SSs, defense alone is far from enough, and damage reduction must be increased.

But to buff and weaken the damage, it cannot be done by directly owning the equipment. The equipment whose damage is weakened by 15% is super top grade. With so many equipments in Shen Yi's hands at the beginning, he didn't find a piece with 15% damage, so you can imagine its value.

Therefore, if you want to get more advanced damage reduction, you can only smash it!

Smash it with the hammer of the forge!

The price-performance ratio of the forging hammer to improve attributes is not high, but it is the only means that can break through the 15% limit.

Taking 10% equipment as an example, to get a 30% damage reduction, you need to drop 15 pieces of equipment with a 10% damage reduction. Such equipment is generally not available for low-level equipment. Grade B and above are all top quality. The higher the level of equipment, the higher the probability of it appearing, and the more expensive it is.

And the damage reduction obtained in this way does not include the reduction of mental damage.

Although the weakening of mental damage is only a single item, it is rarer than the full weakening. Shen Yi and the others have received some full weakening before, but they have almost never seen the mental damage weakening. The price is not higher than the full weakening. The key is that there is no price. .

If an adventurer wants to achieve 30% of the two at the same time, he needs to spend 30 pieces of equipment, which is 1.2 million if calculated as 40,000 pieces, and 6 million for five people——Zhou Yiyu was ignored.

Even the Broken Blade team can't afford this price, let alone you have money and no place to buy so much equipment.

Finally thought of a way.

It cannot be weakened completely, but selectively weakened.

The threat to the Broken Blade team from adventurers is mainly skills, the threat to Super Brood is mainly melee normal attacks, and the threat to Juggernaut is mainly mental attacks.

That being the case, it is better to selectively strengthen these three, which is better than all weakening, because all weakening does not include spiritual attacks.

Among the individual weakenings of the bloody city, there are five major items: long-range, melee, skill, spirit, and curse. There is no special weakening for the elemental category. It is probably related to its stable attack, and weakening is not allowed.

If it is said that a 15% overall damage reduction is hard to find, a 15% single item reduction is much easier to find, of course, this is also a relative term.

Among them, the weakening of skill damage is the simplest, directly smashing the mirror armor.

The bright mirror armor has a 15% skill weakening effect, and there are 100 pieces.

At the beginning, the purpose of making bright mirror armor was to improve soldiers, but now with the God of War mecha, the soldiers' demand for bright mirror armor has also decreased.

The other two are only available for purchase.

So Shen Yi unceremoniously picked up the hammer and smashed it down, adding seven 3% in a row, a mirror armor directly upgraded to 36% skill weakening, and then upgraded to A level to increase defense.

A total of five reinforced mirror armors were made, which were worn by King Kong, Fatty, Zhao Linger, Serena, and Michelle respectively.

King Kong had no choice but to give up his Eternal Saint Cloth because he couldn't wear other equipment after wearing it. Fortunately, it was a good piece of equipment and could be sold for a good price, so he finally didn't give it to Zhou Yiyu.

Fatty gave Hong Lang the guardian suit.

The reason for this is that the guardian suit does not need additional additions, and the attributes obtained through promotion are better.

The guardian suit originally had three kinds of weakenings: melee, long-range and skill. Every two levels of promotion is a 5% weakening.

It's only c-level now, and if it is promoted to s-level, it can increase to 25% of the long-range damage and skill weakening, so it only needs to give him some spiritual damage weakening.

In addition, the suit effect has also been enhanced.

The special effect bonus for all suit components is still 5%.

The active skill of the suit is immovable: When standing still, the defense power is increased by 100%, and the damage is reduced by 20%. It lasts for one minute, and the effect disappears after moving.

Suit Passive Skill Source of Life: Every point of constitution increases vitality by 5 points.

Problem There are many other attributes brought by this upgrade method.

For example, after the guardian boots are upgraded to S rank, the movement speed brought by them is therefore increased to 25%.

But why does the fat man want this speed?

No matter how high his health is raised, how many people will beat him?

Now Fatty's position has changed from meat shield to halo support and life-saving, and the guardian suit with strong survivability is no longer suitable for him.

In the past, the level of guarding Taozang was low, so everyone just ignored it. Speaking of which, the equipment for picking up fat people is too ugly.

But this trip to hell, everyone has learned about the terrifying strength of the Zerg, and every point of combat power needs to be calculated. After the guardian Tao Zang is promoted, it is a waste to use it for Fatty, so after discussion, it is finally given to Hong Lang.

Fortunately, the fat man "understood righteousness", so he nodded and accepted it. Of course, blackmail still has to be blackmailed, Hong Lang promised to ask Fatty to go to the bar for a threesome with his own pocket money.

Fatty thought Hong Lang was too stingy, so he counter-offered to 5P, two nights.

make a deal!

The price difference for upgrading the guardian set from C-level to S-level is 45,000, but since the upgrade scroll is a rare item, you need to pay a premium to buy it, so the total cost of four full upgrades is 300,000. But after completing the strengthening, the Broken Blade team finally had a set of all S-level suits, and such equipment could be called divine equipment.

Gentleness is a little more troublesome.

Her dark suit is weakened by curses and enhanced by runes, but it cannot accept other strengthening methods other than runes, and even the forging hammer cannot be used on it.

Considering that the future decisive battlefield still needs the dark transformation and other abilities of the dark suit, I finally decided to keep this equipment and look for runes that can increase damage reduction.

Five sets of runes are needed for the five-piece set of darkness, and the Broken Blade team is looking for help from all over the world. In the end, it was Ye Jiguang who helped to contact them, and finally got together five sets of runes.

Rune barrier: Weaken the total damage by 5%, and increase the rune strengthening bonus by an additional 1%.

Rune Harmony: Reduces mental damage by 5%, and increases rune enhancement bonus by an additional 1%.

Rune Fortitude: Reduces melee damage by 15%, and increases rune enhancement bonus by an additional 3%.

Rune Fissure: Weaken the skill damage by 15%, and increase the rune strengthening bonus by an additional 3%.

Among them, there are two sets of barrier runes, which are equivalent to a full weakening of 30%.

Considering that the damage reduction is still relatively low, I simply upgrade the dark suit to double S level.

It's a pity that even if the dark suit is upgraded to double S level, the defense increase is limited, but the skill effect becomes more powerful.

Dark Helmet: Provides 24 points of defense, special effect 1 ignores darkness. Special effect 2 breaks stealth, priority 80.

Dark Armor: Provides 60 points of defense, and weakens special effects Curse: Causes 15% to 45% weakening of all curses, and the degree of weakening depends on the priority of the opponent's skills.

Dark Gloves: Provides 24 points of defense, special effect Dark Transformation: transforms the killed target into a dark servant, driven by the user to fight, and lasts for fifteen minutes.

Dark cloak: Provides 48 points of defense, special effects of dark acceleration: the cooling time of all dark skills is shortened by 25%.

Boots of Darkness: Provides 24 points of defense, special effect Dark Walking: Automatically stealth when acting in the dark.

Set combination effect 1 Eternal curse: The user attacks the target with an eternal curse effect, causing the target to cause an additional 10% extra damage when receiving any attack. When encountering a dark curse attack, the effect will be further enhanced according to the priority and the opponent's will, and the special effect lasts for three seconds.

Suit Combination Special Effect 2 Dark Enhancement: Enhance the special effects of all self-contained equipment, and double the priority of the dark helmet's invisible effect. Weakening curses weakens curses by thirty to ninety percent. Darkness conversion time increased to forty-five minutes. The cooldown of Darkness Acceleration is shortened to 50%, and the movement speed is increased by 30% when sneaking in the dark.

Set combination special effect 3 rune enhancement: when using rune stones to enhance, the effect will increase by an additional 40%. But because of this, it is no longer possible to accept other strengthening methods other than promotion.

The last point caught everyone's eyes.

In this way, the 30% damage reduction becomes 35%.

On Shen Yi's side, he bought himself an S-rank magic dragon boots, the damage was reduced by 12%, and the defense power was 40, which can be regarded as super-extreme. He has already weakened all damage, so he simply went to the end.

After smashing another seven pieces of 5% equipment, the magic dragon boots were upgraded to a point where the damage was reduced by 19%, and with the 16% of the demon god armor, it was also 35%.

In the end, Shen Yi found another pair of dodging boots for King Kong and Fatty.

Dodge Boots: Melee damage reduced by 36%, defense by 20, and speed increased by 5%. (forging hammer bonus)

In this way, the weakening of melee and skill damage has been improved a lot. Although the strength against the brood is still not enough, it will naturally be further improved in the future.

What is really difficult is the weakening of mental damage.

This thing is less than the full weakening, and occasionally it is a 5% attribute, and 10% is the best.

The Broken Blade team searched the entire city for three days before finding a set of runes. They only found three pieces of equipment that weakened the mental damage.

In the end, there was no other way, and it took another sum of money to find the temple before exchanging a batch of equipment with mental damage weakening attributes.

King Ming Helmet: Mental damage reduced by 10% (including the forging hammer bonus five times), defense 28.

There are two such King Ming helmets, one for King Kong and one for Fatty.

For the rest, Shen Yi's Witch King's Helmet and Hong Lang's equipment were respectively weakened by 5% of their mental damage.

It took a lot of money to complete all these equipment enhancements, two suit upgrades, five sets of runes, magic dragon boots, dodge boots, more than ten pieces of melee damage reduction equipment, and more than twenty pieces of mental damage reduction equipment. It was sold at a sky-high price, and in the end it cost about 2.5 million, which is not even half of the mirror armor.

The result is an average of 30% to 35% damage reduction and 5 to 10% mental damage reduction per person.

A one-third reduction in damage does not satisfy Shen Yi. After all, the opponents he will face in the future are too terrifying. If there is not enough equipment, he can only start with skills. The first is the problem of skill arrangement.

The skills of the Broken Blade team have long wanted to be adjusted, but they have never had a chance. Now with the transfer of skills, they can finally change it.

The first one to be replaced was Shen Yi's Gaze of Death. This skill is obviously more suitable for King Kong, because his Gauntlet of Death can increase the chance of success. Using it on Gaze of Death lowers the judgment standard and has a wider scope of application.

However, King Kong's skills are already full, so he chose to give up the Finger of Void. This skill is actually good, it can hurt the enemy and weaken the enemy's damage, but King Kong focuses on control, and he has always strengthened control. Doesn't seek damage when fighting, so doesn't really use it to its full potential.

As a result, the finger of emptiness was transferred to Michelle using a low-level scroll. Anyway, Michelle is idle, so just practice this skill and upgrade the level if you have nothing to do.

Zhou Yiyu didn't want the Demon Blessing Body and Second Strike anymore.

At the beginning, he was defined as a support, and then he decided to develop all machines. In fact, these two skills have not played a big role in him.

Logically, this skill is most suitable for Gentle, but she didn't even want to learn Extreme Acceleration back then, and it was even more impossible to learn Demon Blessing Body and Second Strike.

There is only one vacancy in the skill column left for Wen Rou, so naturally he has to learn the strongest one, not to use it as a support. After all, they were now at difficulty level five, and the bloody queen at level four couldn't be played. Even buying expansion scrolls would be expensive.

In the end, the Blessed Body of the Devil was given to Michelle, and Michelle could enjoy the Blessed Body bonus as soon as the unicorn came out.

The second blow was given to Zhao Ling'er. Zhao Ling'er has not strengthened since following everyone. She is originally an auxiliary positioning, and she is strong herself, so it is suitable to learn this.

However, although the skill of Second Strike is a support, it is very important, so he used the advanced transfer to maintain his level, and the Demon Blessing Body didn't matter. Zhou Yiyu didn't practice this skill much, and his level was not high.

Fatty also has something he doesn't want, which is the reflection wave that he specially learned for the battle of the four clans.

But without enough mental damage to weaken it, this skill is very important, Shen Yi must keep it, and it must be mastered by someone with sufficient survivability.

Since Fatty didn't want it, he finally chose Zhao Ling'er after searching.

Back then, the Broken Blade team searched for support all over the world, but in the end they couldn't find a suitable adventurer. Instead, it was Zhao Ling'er who really started the all-round support process.

Since Zhao Linger has a relatively high starting point, she can learn five skills from the beginning, so Shen Yi plans to find three more skills for Zhao Linger later.

It is also quite good to assist in normal times and transform into amplified moves at critical moments.

As for the skills that Fatty vacated, Shen Yi was going to let this guy learn another defensive cover skill. Fatty has no other skills, but at the critical moment, he uses a shield with superb skills, which is unmatched by anyone. A few more shield skills will only further exert his advantage.

For this reason, Shen Yi asked him to transfer the guarding fortress to Serena, anyway, the fat man was not qualified as a human shield, and the number of times he was beaten was really too small. The reason why it was transferred to Serena was because the home world was about to collapse, Serena would join the Broken Blade team sooner or later, and needed to improve her strength. Although she has always been in the home world, it is really not easy for this woman to work hard for Shen Yi and be a hero behind the scenes.

With the mirror armor and the guardian fortress, coupled with the vampire's blood-sucking attack, Serena's ability to survive is at least guaranteed.

In this way, Fatty can learn two shield-like skills.

Shen Yi chose Frost Shield and Flame Barrier for Fatty.

Double S-level frost shield: create a frost shield on the user, with defense power of 12, armor value of 1200 points, consumption of spiritual power 6 points, duration of one minute, and cooling time of fifteen seconds. The melee attack shield slows the attacker by 5%. Upgrade one level to increase armor by 300, up to three levels.

The power of this shield is actually very average, no matter the defense power or vitality is inferior to its double S-level evaluation, even a 5% deceleration is no more than that, and adventurers with high will can completely resist this level of deceleration. But it has the biggest advantage that the cooling time is super short.

As a shield-type protection skill, there is nothing more important than a short cooldown, which means that the user can release it continuously, and the mental power consumption of this skill is not high.

Fatty's shield use method is to see the timing and throw the shield when his own people are in the most danger. After blocking the fatal attack, the attacked will recover himself by pulling away. Although the armor of 1200 points is low, it is enough to make most fatal damage less fatal.

The ultra-short cooling effect of the frost shield has greatly improved Fatty's ability, and he no longer has to hold on to the mental power shield so easily and dare not make a move like before.

Double S-level flame barrier: create a flame barrier effect on the user, making the target surrounded by flames, weakening and reflecting 20% ​​of the attack damage. Consumes 6 points of mental power, lasts for one minute, and cools down for three minutes. Upgrade one level to increase the weakening effect by 5%, up to three levels.

This skill is aimed at the bonus effect of the flame sword. With the bonus of the flame sword, the effective time of the flame barrier can be extended to one and a half minutes.

The existing damage reduction skills include Fire Barrier, Nether Shield and Rock Armor, but both Nether Shield and Rock Armor can only be used on oneself and cannot save people. So Shen Yi decided to find two more melee skills to weaken.

Skill Immunity Halo: 5% melee weakening, every level increases by 1%, the maximum level is 6, it is permanently self-contained.

Shen Yi directly purchased the scroll of skill improvement, and asked Fatty to upgrade this aura to the highest level, and it can increase the effect by an additional 1% when combined with the enhancement of the aura.

In fact, Shen Yi really wanted the King Kong body of Augusta back then, which was fully weakened by up to 60%, which is very awesome, but this skill can only be used on himself, and the cooling time is as long as 20 minutes , and it is also a special skill, and the purchase price is higher.

So after picking and choosing, I finally chose the skill of immunity aura.

These three skills plus a batch of skill transfer scrolls cost another 200,000.

But in terms of weakening mental power damage, Shen Yi really had no choice.

This thing is not only short of equipment, but also lacks many skills. It is pitifully small, and reflected waves alone are not enough. Zhou Yiyu's energy armor can only be used on mechanical bodies.

Shen Yi has seen Juggernaut's mental shocks one after another, not to mention headshots and instant kills, and they are continuous, these two alone are not enough.

The best way to fight against mental attacks is to have enough will.

At the beginning of the thirty-sixth floor of hell, Shen Yi used the combination of heaven and demon and then reshaped the stone, and his own will was strengthened by the effect, so that he barely withstood the master's mental attack. According to this calculation, there is no will of about 800 Don't expect to be able to resist the master.

Using the Holy Water of Rejuvenation can increase the effect of will, which also requires about 400 points of will.

In other words, in the days to come, they don't have to expect anything in the wilderness, they just play with spring water, and they have to raise everyone's will to about 400 points to be considered a safety line.

Considering that the Juggernaut is also getting stronger, if the consciousness of hell is indeed an extension of the Juggernaut's body consciousness, then this contact is likely to stimulate the Juggernaut to further strengthen its spiritual impact power.

So this may not be enough, but it can only be left for later.

In order to further ensure safety, Shen Yi also used special points to purchase a mental power resistance and a will chain skill in the secret shop. Since there are only more than 60,000 special points in total, I can only buy the low-level ones first, and then upgrade to the high-level ones respectively.

Level A Skill Mental Resistance: After using it, the target will temporarily gain 5% of the mental resistance, which lasts for one minute, cools down for ten seconds, consumes 12 points of mental power, can be superimposed, up to three times. Each level increases resistance by 1%, up to level six.

B-level skill Chain of Will: Connect multiple targets. When any target encounters a mental attack, the damage can be shared among multiple targets. Each additional target will increase the damage by 5%. The maximum number of connections is seven, and the duration is three minutes. , the cooling time is 10 minutes, and consumes 15 points of mental power.

That is to say, if it is shared between two people, it is 55% of the damage, and if it is shared between four or five people, it is 40% of the damage. Every level up reduces the additional damage by 1%, up to a maximum of six levels.

These two skills were learned by Zhao Linger.

The next thing to do is to buy a book of exercises to improve attributes.

First, he bought a small part of attributes with bloody points, and after reaching the target line, Shen Yi bought the exercise book for improving willpower and the exercise book for improving all attributes.

After these two attribute-type exercises, plus the previous Wuji Heart Sutra, all the inner alchemy was used to directly upgrade to the top level. The remaining ten or so inner alchemy were not enough, so I had to find m7 Shi Mumu and others who got the inner alchemy to buy them back. some.

As for the attribute skills such as the Hualongzhenjing, Shenwuxinjing, etc. that I learned earlier, because I have already practiced half of it, it is a waste to use the inner alchemy to improve, so I directly enter the top arena with five difficulties, and spend money to open the double-speed mode to practice. With the support of high will All the lower levels are also promoted to the top level in a short period of time.

In this way, everyone's attributes become:

Shen Yi: Strength 310, Constitution 320, Dexterity 260, Spirit 300, Will 400.

Hong Lang: Strength 350, Constitution 350, Dexterity 250, Spirit 180, Will 400.

Gentleness: strength 250, constitution 280, agility 340, spirit 250, will 400.

Luo Hao: Strength 230, Constitution 250, Dexterity 200, Spirit 200, Will 400.

King Kong: Strength 300, Constitution 300, Dexterity 260, Spirit 250, Will 400.

Zhou Yiyu: Strength 230, Constitution 250, Dexterity 220, Spirit 200, Will 400.

After some tossing, another 2.7 million was thrown out.

A budget of 7 million yuan was used up in the blink of an eye to 5.4 million yuan.
