However, upon seeing the scene of the third level, he still felt a bit cautious.
It was a place like an abyss.
In the dim sky, narrow roads were flanked by steaming lava.
Even walking on the road seemed a bit scorching.
You are affected by environmental hazards and take 20 points of fire damage.
Lin Feng immediately felt something was wrong and directed Sheng Kasi to walk a couple of steps to the side of the road.
Your summoned creature, Yellow Turban Warrior (Sheng Kasi), is affected by environmental hazards and takes 50 points of fire damage.
This truly startled Lin Feng.
With such harsh environmental conditions, just the fire damage alone was enough to stop him.
How could he kill monsters?
Without fire resistance, he couldn't even get close to the monsters.
But he had already reached the third level, where could he find fire resistance gear?
He concentrated and entered the newly opened Treasure Pavilion of the system.
The items for sale inside were truly a motley assortment.
It was as if anything could be found, short of original-scented stockings.
After filtering the conditions, there were only a few pieces of fire resistance gear.
Not only were the attributes mediocre.
They were all level 5 and above, and none were simplified.
He couldn't equip them.
In the end, he still had Master Gatherer buy all these pieces of equipment.
Originally, Master Gatherer was a bit dismissive.
Compared to the gear he borrowed from the boss to wear, these were practically trash.
But after wearing two corresponding pieces of equipment, he found that the fire damage he received had become negligible.
Only then did he understand Lin Feng's intention.
Boss, you mean these are items we've used, and we'll sell them to others at a higher price?
After all, it seemed impossible to clear this dungeon without fire resistance gear.
As the first team to clear the dungeon, information asymmetry was equivalent to wealth!
Lin Feng could hardly believe it.
Was this still his dim-witted little brother?
He was almost as smart as he was at the age of seven.
Remarkable!
The saying "near vermilion gets stained red, near ink gets stained black" was certainly true.
You've become sensible, I'm very pleased!
Rummaging through his backpack, Lin Feng also found a good item.
【Fire Swiftness】
Grade: Excellent
Type: Equipment
Slot: Boots
Required Level: 8
Defense +5
Agility +10
Movement Speed +10
Fire Resistance +15
【Swiftness】: When HP is below 50%, Agility +10, lasts for 10 seconds.
【Blink】: Consumes 10 mana points, activates a short-range movement, destination is random, cooldown: 30 minutes.
【No Level Restriction】: The use of this equipment will not be limited by the required level.
It seemed this was the reward for the first kill of the Excellent grade Wild Wolf Boss.
Now it finally had a use.
With Lin Feng's current strength and vision, this equipment was trash without reinforcement.
After reinforcement, it would probably become decent trash.
The first four levels of reinforcement each added 1 point, 1 point, 2 points, and 2 points to defense.
The evolution choice added 10 points to movement speed.
Levels five to eight added 3 points, 3 points, 5 points, and 5 points to fire resistance.
The evolution choices added 20 points to fire resistance and 10 points to agility.
After reinforcing to level eight, the defense increased by 6 points, becoming 11 points.
Agility increased by 10 points, becoming 20 points.
Movement speed doubled, becoming 20 points.
The fire resistance, which was focused on, increased from 15 to a staggering 51 points.
Although it couldn't achieve complete immunity, the fire damage received had now become single digits.
The characteristics of these boots, Swiftness, provided too little of an increase.
Blink had a short range, random destination, and a long cooldown.
It was completely inferior to the Flash ability absorbed from the Boss.
Overall, this piece of equipment had mediocre inherent potential.
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to reinforce it further.
With preparations made, dealing with the situation became much easier.
However, the monsters they faced still gave Lin Feng a headache.
The mobs in this level were monsters called Fallen Demons.
They were small and ugly.
Wielding small magic staffs, they continuously launched fire attacks.
Both of them had significantly increased their fire resistance, so the impact was not great.
However, their defense impressed Lin Feng.
Their bodies, surrounded by flames, seemed to have a damage-negating effect.
Lin Feng's sword strike only dealt over 800 damage.
Master Gatherer was even less effective, his hammer strike dealing only single digits.
He couldn't even instantly kill a normal mob, it seemed his strength was falling behind again.
Lin Feng sighed and took out his weapon.
Swift Burst Sword 【Reinforced Level 8】
Type: Weapon
Quality: Excellent
Required Level: 5
Damage +30 (+70)
Strength +15 (+35)
Agility +15
Critical Hit Chance +30%
【Sharpness】: Can cut weapons of lower quality.
【Armor Break】: Ignores defense and deals an additional 30 true damage.
【Simplified】: Reduces the required level by 5.
He originally thought this weapon would last until players were around level 10, but he didn't expect to be schooled by monsters so soon.
There was nothing else to do but reinforce it.
Ding, you have consumed 20480 cultivation points, Swift Burst Sword is reinforced to level nine, damage +25.
Ding, you have consumed 40960 cultivation points, Swift Burst Sword is reinforced to level ten, damage +25.
Ding, you have consumed 81920 cultivation points, Swift Burst Sword is reinforced to level eleven, damage +30.
Ding, you have consumed 163840 cultivation points, Swift Burst Sword is reinforced to level twelve, damage +30.
Ding, Swift Burst Sword reinforced to level twelve, you have obtained three additional evolution choices.
Choice 1 (B-grade): Damage +100.
Choice 2 (B-grade): Agility +30.
Choice 3 (A-grade): Power of all sword spells increased by 10%.
Choice 4 (A-grade): Critical Hit Chance +15%.
Choice 5 (B-grade): Defense Ignore Chance +10%.
This enhancement was truly luxurious.
The critical hit chance, though tempting, would have its effectiveness reduced due to the diminishing returns on existing stats.
Otherwise, if you could equip five pieces of gear with 20% critical hit chance, you'd have 100% critical hit, which would be outrageous.
Lin Feng estimated that adding another 15% would only give him about 5% effectiveness.
For other players, the effect would likely be very good.
After all, their base stats were lower.
Defense ignore, on the other hand, was very useful.
Because once defense was ignored, it was equivalent to the target having no defense.
According to the calculation formula of the Eternal World, it would definitely result in a 3x damage multiplier from the original damage.
Ultimately, Lin Feng chose 1, 3, and 5.
He spent another 1.3 million cultivation points, instantly reinforcing the two special abilities as well.
Of course, the effects were also evident.
Swift Burst Sword 【Reinforced Level 12】
Type: Weapon
Quality: Excellent
Required Level: 5
Damage +30 (+280)
Strength +15 (+35)
Agility +15
Critical Hit Chance +30%
Defense Ignore Chance +10%
【Sharpness】 (Level 12 Augmentation): Can cut weapons of lower quality. Against equipment or monsters of Excellent grade or lower, it will definitely cause 150% base penetration damage.
【Armor Break】 (Level 12 Augmentation): Defense Ignore Chance +20%. Each attack deals an additional 500 true damage and inflicts 20 true damage per second.
【Simplified】: Reduces the required level by 5.
For Lin Feng, this weapon was temporarily considered endgame.
As for spells, there was still room for improvement.
