Chapter 586 Strengthening
the next day.
Zhou Ning didn't rest for long before asking Kelly, played by his clone, to accompany him in transporting the last batch of boxes and the enhancement machine to the store.
Kelly's outfit was a perfect replica of her in-game look, a sleeveless blue jacket that revealed a hint of her cleavage and long, white legs. On her way into the shop, many players preparing to redeem boxes stared at Kelly in amazement, watching her walk into the store.
Although today is the final day, it is about 8 o'clock in the morning. Taking into account the time difference of European and American audiences, the final competition day starts at 11:20 noon, then 13:00, 15:00, and lasts until after 21:00 in the evening. Therefore, the store entrance is still crowded with people, and the stalls selling exchange box materials are lined up from the beginning to the end of the street, and business is extremely hot.
There were even star players like Shuidi Chenxing, Yanran Weile, Jinse and others who were about to participate in the final day competition and were waiting there with a lot of supplies.
Considering that the opening event is also the last day, these professional players are fighting for the top three spots and the opening hero positions. By the way, it is understandable that they are trying their best to improve before the finals.
"This is Kelly. She will be your colleague from now on and will be responsible for equipment enhancement." Zhou Ning said to Richie Burke.
"Kelly?" Richie Burke glanced at Kelly's profile and felt that she was more beautiful and had a better figure than he could have imagined. His eyes gradually lit up and he hurriedly walked up to her with a polite attitude and introduced himself.
Zhou Ning twitched his lips in annoyance, nearly vomiting. Although Richie Burke's attentions weren't strictly directed at him, but at Kelly, seeing his clone dressed in women's clothing and showcasing her impressive breasts still made him feel extremely awkward and embarrassed.
But in order to make money and create a more mediocre template for the future, appropriate sacrifices are necessary. I can only blame myself for not thinking carefully. If I had to pursue feelings and the original version, I should have created a male character to take the blame for myself.
Since Zhou Ning had asked Richie Burke to acquire four or five nearby shops before, it was just right to arrange Kelly in the second-to-last weapons shop. It can be opened today. She can then be responsible for strengthening and repairing. She can also teach the skills of the roaming gunner on his behalf, becoming the second multifunctional NPC after himself.
Sometimes you can rely on yourself more.
After helping Kelly place the intensifier, she could officially start business. Zhou Ning took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and then walked to the front of the crowd, pointing at Kelly and said:
"Her name is Kelly 9 Delaidi. She's the Starry Sky Organization's enhancement master and Wandering Gunner instructor. From today on, she'll be here to provide enhancement, repair, and training for everyone in Wandering Gunner skills."
"Strengthen? Repair? New instructor? Damn, there are more and more functions here! Mom doesn't have to worry about me having no place to learn skills anymore!"
Kelly's appearance delighted the players. Immediately, a large crowd of players appeared before her, inquiring about specific equipment upgrades.
Zhou Ning had an idea and immediately wrote a new task in Kelly's identity and sent it over.
At the same time, all players received a task.
[You have triggered a C-level mission: Attempt to strengthen. Do you accept? Yes/No?]
[Quest Tip: Reinforcing equipment can greatly improve its attributes and performance. Please try to enhance any piece of equipment to level 3. Currently 0/3. To help the Chosen One reach the Motley Islands in better condition, for today only, Kelly will offer a 8% discount on the first three levels of enhancements.]
[Note: Enhancement is not 13% successful. Please test the success rate yourself. Failure to enhance weapons to level 13 or above will cause damage. Failure to enhance armor and other parts to level 11 or above will cause damage. Please proceed according to your ability.]
[Mission Level: C]
[Task Requirements: Enhance any piece of equipment to level 3, 0/3]
[Reward: 1800 experience points, Kelly 9 Dreddy's favorability 9 points.]
Looking at the meager experience points and the unknown use of favorability, the players were a little confused for a moment, but soon someone cleverly realized the reason. Grantham, who was squeezed in the crowd, suddenly realized:
"This is to introduce the new features to the players, right? Enhancement must be very important! Maybe it's also part of the Hood Island raid portal quest! And Kelly 9 Dreddy's favor is definitely important too. Maybe Wayne Stewell is going to die soon, and she's the new protagonist. Otherwise, why suddenly assign a new Wandering Gunner mentor?"
It's that little black guy again! Zhou Ning gave him a sharp look and silently moved his favorability level to the left again.
[Wayne Sternwell's favorability towards you has decreased by 15 points and is currently indifferent. Wayne Sternwell's personal store prices for you have increased by 15%.]
"what???"
Seeing the favorability level drop to indifference, Grantham felt terrible and wanted to slap himself. What a boast! He didn't expect the protagonist's intelligence to be so high?!
However, Grantham's words did serve as a reminder to many players. Although few people believed the following nonsense of Grantham, strengthening is definitely a very important function that can allow the system to issue guidance tasks. However, after taking a look at the price list of strengthening, it costs 1 Viktors per time to strengthen +15, 2 for +30, and 3 for completing the task. Although there is a 60% discount today, many players still choose to wait and see.
At this time, Yanran Weilue on the side had already paid 12 Viktoras in advance, and then under the guidance of Kelly's smiling face, he put the Snow Drinking Knife into the groove of the strengthening machine and carried out the first strengthening.
Under the gaze of all the players, the enhancement was completed. Yan Ranweilu carefully took the Snow Drinking Sword out of the slot and found that the original 420-920 had suddenly become 435-935, with both the upper and lower limits increased by 15 points. The attributes also changed from +7 strength, +9 agility, and +4 endurance to +9, +11, and +5, while the equipment requirements did not change.
What’s even more amazing is that the Snow Drinking Sword, which already looks very beautiful and exudes an icy coldness, is now covered with a thin layer of blue light, making it look very eye-catching.
Seeing his expression, everyone became curious, stood on tiptoe, and gasped after taking a closer look at the shape and properties.
"hiss……"
For some reason, even the knowledgeable Yanran Wei Le felt a surge of joy in his heart, and his whole body felt elated.
"Do you want to continue strengthening?" Kelly asked.
"Yes!" Yan Ranwei hurriedly took out the 72 Viktor and handed it to Kelly, "Help me strengthen it twice more."
"Congratulations, the enhancement was successful!"
After being strengthened to +3, the blue light on the surface of the Snow Drinking Sword gradually became thicker visibly, its level increased more than a little, and its attributes also increased significantly.
At this time, the interest of all players has been aroused by this function called strengthening. Some wealthy players can no longer control their hands and can't wait to start strengthening immediately.
But Yan Ranweile had no intention of stopping. He paid another large sum of money and clicked five times in a row, strengthening the Xueyin Sword to +5 before stopping. He was lucky and did not fail once. At this time, the Xueyin Sword had already changed its appearance. The surrounding ice-blue light was shining, and even distinctive special patterns appeared on the blade.
With the previous experience of Yanran Weilu, players began to strengthen enthusiastically. Since the first three strengthenings had a 8% discount and a 100% success rate, ordinary players only stopped at +3 or +5. Few people failed. The scene was filled with laughter and joy. Someone even announced:
"This NPC named Kelly will be my goddess from now on. This is too kind!"
