Chapter 99 Gem Enhancement
Chapter 99 Gem Enhancement
1916, end of January.
As the Battle of the Somme entered its later stages, the number of casualties on both sides approached one million. With the collapse of the library, the British army paid a huge price and forced the Prussian troops to retreat. At the same time, the number of casualties on the battlefield continued to rise every day.
The Battle of the Library ended, and the two remaining members of the action team retreated to the British defense line at night and returned to the camp smoothly.
Lieutenant General Summerford personally took charge of the operation to thwart the Prussian plan. After learning that Emperor Otto was destroyed by the Sword of the Reverse Tree, his attitude changed from eager to peaceful. But strictly speaking, the operation was a success because the mission required thwarting, not capturing.
Jiang He received the British Knight's Medal promised in advance by the top management, and then politely declined the request to carry out the mission again.
This time, Lieutenant General Summerford's attitude changed from calm to cold. He secretly withdrew the appointment letter of the Parliament to the commander of the artillery regiment of the 12th Army given to the recipient of the Order of the British Sun, which was equivalent to depriving him of a valuable real power.
Since the middle-aged colonel in the Quartermaster Department and the Black Knight Si Ning belonged to the same family, Jiang He did not encounter any difficulties in the process of exchanging military merits. He still retains the heroic honor of being the number one sniper in Leden.
After successfully exchanging three rare secret treasures and five hundred sets of alchemical materials, Jiang He and Tommy took a transport vehicle back to the industrial town of Amiens in the rear and left the battlefield.
……
Early morning in the industrial city of Amiens.
Because it was located behind the front line, this place became a gathering point for the wounded and logistics personnel. Occasionally, Prussian fighter planes flew over for bombing, but in general, the Allied forces gradually made up for their initial disadvantage in the field of air supremacy.
In a two-story residential building in the city, Jiang He woke up from a three-hour deep sleep. Dim light shone through the window. Today was another rainy day.
Jiang He stood up and walked to the bathroom connected to the bedroom. The room was not big, only about 20 to 30 square meters. There was basically no furniture in the room except for the cabinets. However, even such a residence was a benefit he had fought for thanks to his status as a major.
After finishing his morning wash, Jiang He sat back on the bed cross-legged. Then faint low whistles and ringing sounds began to sound. The hidden power of the tiger and leopard thunder sound was itself a basic method of health preservation.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang He exhaled a breath of foul air. There was no change in the specific numerical values, except that the flow of dark energy became a little smoother. If one wanted to strengthen his physique, it would take years and months to see initial results.
According to the suggestion of the Origin Game, Jiang He took out the Flame Ant Jade Plate from the item bag and held it in his hand. In addition, there were three rare treasures exchanged for military merits. This world mission made him earn a lot of money.
[Name: Regret Military Boots]
[Category: Clothing]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Intermediate Toughness]
[Effect 25: Kick penetration damage increased by %]
[Note: The Goat Rider, as a wife, made this pair of military boots by herself. Before she could give it to her tall and handsome husband, the latter died on the front line. The Goat Rider left his homeland to seek revenge, but eventually got his wish and died under a Prussian bullet.]
Jiang He put on this pair of black military boots. They were made of real leather, breathable and comfortable. He hadn't thought about exchanging them at first, but later when he saw the real thing, he found that they were 100% new and in the right size, so he simply used up an A-level military merit to exchange them.
[Name: Cold Tooth Bayonet]
[Category: Weapons]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Intermediate Sharpness]
[Effect 10: Increase piercing damage by %]
[Effect ③: After hitting the target, a mark will be left for exploration, tracking, and hunting]
[Note: His master is a feline knight]
Jiang He wrapped the cold thorn with a cloth strip on the side of his thigh, so that it can be easily used at any time. The bayonet on this rifle is much smaller than the normal size, which is suitable for close-range dagger. [Name: Black Ridge Snake Military Pants]
[Category: Clothing]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Intermediate Toughness]
[Effect ②: Leg explosive kinetic energy increased by 25%]
[Note: It was originally a complete knight snake slough. Due to the request of the exchanger, the Quartermaster Department simply processed it into trousers.]
Jiang He put on this pair of trousers tailored by the tailor. The leg kinetic energy enhancement was more practical. Kicking, pushing off the ground and running could all be amplified. It inherited some of the snake's entanglement and strangling characteristics.
[Name: Broken Armor Inlaid with Gems]
[Category: Functional]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect: Enhances the armor-piercing property of the embedded equipment, the current increase is 3%]
[Note: Gemstone enhancement can be up to +17...]
Jiang He browsed through the notes on gem inlay.
From level 1 to level 5, the enhancement will definitely succeed, 100 game coins per time.
From the 6th to the 10th floor, the enhancement has a chance to succeed, and the level will not be dropped if it fails. 200 game coins/time
From the 11th to the 15th floor, there is a probability of success in strengthening, and the level will be reset to zero if it fails. You can use the exclusive store protection charm for 300 game coins/piece and 300 game coins/time.
From 15 to 17th floor, the enhancement has a chance of success. If it fails, the gem will shatter and the amulet will be invalid. 500 game coins per time.
Jiang He grabbed the half bottle of rum on the cabinet and took a few sips. After calming down, he fell into deep thought. As for gem enhancement, +15 and above were obviously too risky. He couldn't be sure of success and must not try it. Otherwise, the gem would shatter. The high sunk cost of killing the Grey Knight was enough to make him feel really sad.
In addition, when the enhancement level reaches 7, 13, and 17, the gems will have special effects.
As for the strengthening method, it is very simple. When strengthening, put the gems into the equipment bar, and then consume game coins to complete the strengthening. When using, fit the props, the gems will be automatically inlaid, and will not fall off until the props are completely damaged.
Jiang He opened the friend bar on the panel and contacted Si Ning, copying and pasting the information. He now had the heavy sword of the Aphid Emperor in his hand, which he had looted before leaving the library battlefield. This sword belonged to the Mantis Secret Treasure and was undoubtedly a top-notch item among the rare ones.
[Mo Ke: New products arrive]
[Lemon King: Snow mountain is coming down, wait a moment]
After a moment, the message came back.
[Lemon King:?]
[Lemon King: Advanced Solidity, 25% faster attack speed, 20% faster energy flow, after splitting, Advanced Solidity is converted into Advanced Sharpness... My good brother, where have you been making money lately?]
[Mo Ke: 2600]
[Lemon King: Deal, but you've almost taken all my game coins. Can you use a common item to top up to 400?]
Si Ning sent an introduction to an ordinary prop.
[Name: Clothes changing brooch]
[Category: Functional]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Change the appearance of the clothing, without affecting its essence. Need to scan and store in advance]
[Note: Looks good, but useless]
Jiang He hesitated for a while, and agreed to the other party's discount plan. The clothing-changing brooch is suitable for hiding clothing equipment in various mission worlds, and reselling it to high-level female players should be able to make a small profit of dozens or hundreds of game coins.
The magic circle materialized, and the familiar giant lemon reappeared.
Jiang He completed the transaction process quickly.
[Tip: You received 2200 game coins]
[Tip: You received a mailed item: a costume change brooch]
[Game Coins: 2516]
