Chapter 211: Equivalent Level Increase, Real Thought: Inscribing Physical Armament

Tang Zheng was digesting the power contained in the dragon blood while staring intently at the changes in the three items on the attribute panel.

Thump!

Thump!

The sound of his heart beating was extremely powerful; the power of the dragon blood seemed to make the blood flow speed in his whole body much faster.

Between one breath and one inhalation.

A heat flow sprayed out from Tang Zheng's nasal cavity, but it wasn't very obvious in the already high-temperature environment.

Every ten-odd seconds or twenty-odd seconds of unfixed time.

The values of HP, physical defense, and magic defense would follow and increase.

Just compared to the increase in HP value, the other two attributes increased much more slowly.

About 20 minutes of time passed.

The sound of Tang Zheng's heart beating powerfully gradually lightened and slowed down; under careful perception, the strong warm current in his body also dissipated.

"The effect of 'Dragon Blood' is completely absorbed."

Tang Zheng's eyes moved, and he spat out a hot breath from his mouth; his whole body was like having steamed in a sauna, with wisps of steam rising.

【HP: 450→478】

【Physical Defense: 249→260】

【Magic Defense: 264→275】

The changes in the values had stabilized again; besides HP increasing by 28 points, the other two values only increased by 11 points.

"The increased attributes are not obvious; is it because my own level is already high?"

Tang Zheng thought in his heart; he remembered that the Evil Spirit Dog only licked a trace of dragon blood, and its aura showed an obvious enhancement.

Looking at the passives on the 【Ability Table】.

Before this, after he was stained with dragon blood, "Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)" and "Poison Attribute · Faint Resistance" appeared.

Due to the appearance of "Fire Attribute Nullification," the effect of "Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)" had already disappeared.

But "Poison Attribute · Faint Resistance" hadn't disappeared; the dragon blood he drank just now didn't show any strengthening situation for this passive.

Tang Zheng looked at the dwarf direction, seeing this group of dwarf craftsmen still discussing fiercely, and took out the water bag containing dragon blood from the item box again, drinking it all in one gulp.

The three basic values started to increase again!

"The effect has weakened."

After the effect was completely absorbed, Tang Zheng compared the changes in values, his expression unchanged, and took out another water bag containing dragon blood.

When he collected the dragon blood scattered on the ground initially, he used a full seven water bags, compared to the ancient red dragon's huge body size.

The dragon blood Tang Zheng was currently drinking could at most be described as a "trace."

After the third portion of dragon blood was drunk.

Tang Zheng felt again that the strong warm current had weakened a lot, and by observing the changes in values on the attribute panel, it was even more obvious.

【HP: 478→530 (41%)】

【Physical Defense: 260→280 (22%)】

【Magic Defense: 275→295 (23%)】

"The time is shorter, and the buff effect has completely disappeared." Tang Zheng opened his eyes slightly, revealing a glimmer of light.

Judging by his own feelings, he had already determined that continuing to drink "Dragon Blood" would no longer increase attributes.

The overall increased values were: HP 81 points, physical defense 31 points, magic defense 31 points.

"Unexpected surprise, calculated by high-level job level, the HP value alone increased by five levels out of thin air, and physical defense and magic defense increased by two levels."

Tang Zheng secretly thought with some surprise; should it be said that it's worthy of being the "Dragon Race" whose whole body is a treasure.

The only thing that made him somewhat surprised was "Poison Attribute · Faint Resistance"; this passive still didn't show any changes.

Passive: Poison Attribute · Faint Resistance

Effect: Applicable to resisting faint toxicity (≈ less than 10lv).

"Speaking of which, since drinking 'Dragon Blood' only increases basic values, how did this passive ability appear?" Tang Zheng felt somewhat confused at this moment.

He recalled the entire process carefully.

Tang Zheng subconsciously looked at his skin; he remembered that at that time, his skin was stained with dragon blood, and large areas of red marks appeared.

Could it be that drinking "Dragon Blood" alone and skin being stained with "Dragon Blood" have different buff effects?

This thought popped into Tang Zheng's mind.

Speaking of which, he didn't know if the Solar Angler's blood also had similar buff effects; these were all worth his experimentation next.

Raising his head.

Tang Zheng looked at the dwarf craftsmen who had gradually returned to normal after a fierce discussion: "It seems there is a result."

First, he glanced at the Evil Spirit Dog lying on the ground trembling with fear because of the "Dragon Blood."

"Really, if even this bit of momentum is affected, how can it withstand stronger power."

Tang Zheng raised his hand, patted the Evil Spirit Dog's head, and then stood up and walked toward the group of dwarves.

"Awoo~" The Evil Spirit Dog let out a light cry looking at Tang Zheng's back, with a trace of toughness in its beast pupils.

"Everyone, you are all the best Lu En craftsmen I have learned about so far."

"I don't know if you can replicate this Lu En defensive gear manufactured by the gray dwarf race." Tang Zheng walked over, staring at a group of dwarves and opening his mouth.

The suddenly sounding voice.

Made all the dwarf craftsmen who were immersed in observing the damaged armor raise their heads and look in Tang Zheng's direction at the same time.

Facing the highest-rank Lu En characters that had already been lost, all the dwarf craftsmen were filled with excited and spirited expressions.

But at this moment, the air was somewhat quiet!

None of them had experienced the forging process of this kind of high-level Lu En item, so naturally, they didn't have any confidence that they could complete it.

"What will happen if we can't build it?" Gong De stared fixedly at Tang Zheng and shouted loudly.

The atmosphere became somewhat serious.

The group of dwarf craftsmen became cautious; everyone hadn't forgotten that they were abducted.

"Then it's a failure."

Tang Zheng, facing such an inquiry, instead spread his arms very casually, seemingly not caring whether it succeeded or not.

And it was indeed so!

He indeed wanted to replicate this piece of Lu En defensive gear of the gray dwarf race, but he also understood that there was a high probability of failure.

If it succeeded, it was naturally the best; if it failed, it had no influence on Tang Zheng, nothing more than wasting some time.

And Lu En technology was indeed a craft worth researching and developing.

However!

Seeing Tang Zheng's indifferent attitude, it made these dwarves, whose hearts were beating like drums, widen their eyes and blow their beards in dissatisfaction.

"If you let us build a highest-rank Lu En item alone, then old man has no confidence at all."

"But if it's just replicating a piece according to this armor, old man still has a few points of confidence."

"It's simply being underestimated too much; even if Lu En technology is far inferior to your human magic technology, it is also the greatest craft of our dwarf race!"

"Just replicating a copy!"

"Old man is very angry now."

"Idiot, speak quietly."

"............!" "I just think that being able to forge such Lu En armor in this lifetime will definitely become a unique memory in the brain."

A series of intense noisy sounds rang out again; this group of dwarves was clearly dissatisfied with the very casual tone Tang Zheng had just used.

Looking at this group of dwarves, each one becoming full of energy, Tang Zheng's expression didn't have any changes.

He wouldn't hear these dwarves bragging and think that these dwarf craftsmen were really capable.

The Forging Minister held the broken armor, turned around respectfully, and looked up at Tang Zheng.

"Is the manpower enough?"

Tang Zheng didn't go to ask that group of dwarf craftsmen, but stared at the most critical person.

"If the number of Lu En craftsmen can be doubled. Then the success rate will be a bit higher." The Forging Minister said honestly.

"What is the success rate now?" Tang Zheng.

Forging Minister: "Thirty percent."

!. Read

Thirty percent chance?

Very low!

Yet it was higher than the probability Tang Zheng had anticipated at the beginning.

He could gamble on it; anyway, besides time, there was almost no loss, because Lu En technology itself didn't need to spend extra high-cost materials.

"Then we can gamble on it." Tang Zheng's face revealed a smile.

"Hey, human." Gong De's voice came from behind again, his tone filled with excitement.

"Being able to witness the highest-rank Lu En characters and letting this lost power reappear is something we Lu En craftsmen cannot refuse."

"But we have already discussed it just now."

"Let alone mithril and orichalcum, even steel cannot withstand the power of the four highest-rank characters."

"It must be more excellent metal; as long as you can find this kind of material, the thirty percent chance you just said can at least be increased by twenty percent."

Once these words fell.

A group of dwarves behind followed and made the same response.

Tang Zheng's gaze scanned the Forging Minister on the side, and seeing the other party nod, agreeing with this point of view, he felt relieved instead.

"Everyone needs what tools, just open your mouth, and I will bring all the tools."

Tang Zheng smiled brightly, opened his mouth to the group of dwarf craftsmen, and while speaking, waved his hand toward the side.

A large vat half a person high appeared in the field.

The suddenly appearing large object attracted everyone's gaze.

"Is it a magic leather bag."

"Such a big vat, what is it for."

This vat half a person high had already somewhat exceeded the height of the dwarves.

The next moment, the dwarves quieted down.

A smell of alcohol with a sour fruit flavor came out from the vat, drilling into the nasal cavities of all the dwarf craftsmen present; this vat was precisely one of the four great treasures of the Lizardmen, the "Vat for Storing Wine."

Gulp~

Gulp~

In this environment outside the lava zone that was already somewhat hot, a group of dwarf craftsmen were already somewhat thirsty, and now they smelled the taste of wine.

The sound of swallowing saliva in their throats rang out one after another instantly.

"This is a magic item that possesses the ability to automatically produce wine; theoretically, it's how much you drink and it won't run out."

Tang Zheng's calm introduction fell into the ears of the dwarves, just like the devil's tempting whisper.

A magic item that could automatically produce wine was simply more important than their lives to the dwarves who were addicted to alcohol.

Tang Zheng waved his arm again.

Wild beasts of the wild boar type stored in the item box appeared on the ground again.

"In short, as a reward for everyone's help, wine is enough, and meat is enough." Tang Zheng opened his mouth very refreshingly.

"I suddenly don't want to go back now."

"Don't talk, I have the same thought."

"..."

A series of low discussions came from the crowd.

Soon!

This group of dwarf craftsmen threw the previous worries behind their heads and fell into revelry.

Tang Zheng used teleportation magic to go to the Eastern City "Fei Ao · Zhu La" again, and brought all the tools that the Lu En craftsmen needed to use in one breath.

As for the influence caused by the disappearance of all the Lu En craftsmen on the dwarf side, Tang Zheng had no interest in paying attention.

The next day.

Middle Earth Month, November 18th.

A group of dwarf craftsmen surrounded Tang Zheng spiritedly, each holding tools in their hands, with a posture of wanting to do a big job.

"What about the materials? We will start forging now." A dwarf opened his mouth loudly first.

In their view, since Tang Zheng had confidence, he clearly had prepared in advance, metal materials that could withstand the highest-rank Lu En characters.

Under the gaze of such people, he didn't let everyone wait too long, and following the movement of thoughts in his heart:

"Physical Armament!"

Whoosh!

A gray-white mist overflowed from Tang Zheng's body, rapidly covering his whole body, condensing a gray full-body armor.

The sudden scene.

Made all the dwarves stunned, and a blank expression appeared on their faces.

"This is the material I prepared for everyone."

Tang Zheng's voice came through the armor in the gray full-body armor, and then said:

"I need everyone to inscribe the Lu En characters on that armor onto this full-body armor on my body."

The air became somewhat quiet inexplicably.

Most dwarves opened their mouths, looking at Tang Zheng incredibly.

"What kind of joke are you making!" 【211-153

Gong De stared with wide eyes and spoke loudly in anger, feeling that the human before him was playing them for fools.

"Although this suit of armor of mine is somewhat special, it can be called a one-of-a-kind material."

Tang Zheng was not surprised by the changes in the expressions of the dwarves; he also felt that this idea of his was somewhat crazy.

But it was worth a try!

The "Body Armed" skill he currently used had a distinct difference from the normal version of the skill due to the unique degradation phenomenon of the Other World.

As Tang Zheng spoke, he raised his palm, and a magic greatsword appeared in his hand.

Bang!

Before the dwarves could react.

Tang Zheng lifted the magic greatsword and struck his own arm heavily; a clearly visible crack appeared on the arm section of the full-body armor.

Gong De and the other dwarves watched this scene in a daze, seemingly not understanding what Tang Zheng was trying to express.

They had been mentioning all along that they needed extremely sturdy metal to withstand the power of the highest-rank runes; the armor before them, which could be easily cracked by a strike, clearly could not be called sturdy.

Tang Zheng did not say much, instead taking out a bottle of alchemical potion and pouring it directly onto the cracked area of the armor.

In the blink of an eye.

Under the incredulous gazes of all the dwarves, the crack on the armor had actually recovered as if it were new.

This was the unique special ability of "Body Armed"!
