Chapter 407: Girl Took the Day Off Today

There are two blue-tier pieces of equipment left to reinforce, and Yun Mu intends to make it quick.

Because she still has a few pieces of Ziyue Pinzhi equipment she plans to upgrade later.

First is the 【Unemployed Certificate】; although this piece of equipment provides no attribute bonuses, its effect is quite interesting.

Yun Mu has bluffed her way through many situations thanks to this certificate.

I wonder what kind of changes it will undergo after the upgrade.

Thinking this, Yun Mu begins to select from the three materials.

【1. Kelp of unknown origin: This is a piece of kelp processed through complex procedures, possessing a pitch-black exterior and a texture as tough as leather. As for what it's used for? Perhaps only God knows.】

【2. A mysterious staff list: A staff list densely packed with records of company employees. Even if you, as the superior, have never heard of many of them, who cares? As long as these guys are willing to work honestly, that's all that matters.】

【3. Clown's red nose: Actors playing clowns usually use ridiculous makeup to fix that half-smiling expression on their faces. However, no matter what, perhaps the one thing that shouldn't be missing is that bright red, round nose. Is that really the case?】

What kind of stuff is this? Yun Mu raises an eyebrow, but ultimately chooses the second material, which looks slightly more reliable.

That mysterious staff list.

【Jobless Certificate (Blue)】 → 【Employed Certificate (Purple)】

【Employed Certificate (Purple)】

【This is a certificate that records no specific occupation.】

【When you carry this certificate, people around you will subconsciously treat you as a colleague they are familiar with, and afterward, those affected will gradually forget this matter.】

【And when you take out the certificate and show it to others.】

【The certificate will automatically fill in the corresponding professional information and make those who see it believe that everything recorded on the certificate is true.】

【"Great, with this, I can go anywhere unimpeded! Hehehe, no one will notice me if I run away after collecting my salary!"】

Pfft!

The first thing someone thinks of with something like this is running away with the salary? Is that all the ambition they have?

Yun Mu mutters in her heart.

The effect of the upgraded Jobless—no, wait, Employed Certificate is quite good. Previously, Yun Mu had to take out the certificate and show it to others to fool them, but now she only needs to carry it with her.

Besides that, the certificate's effect has also been significantly enhanced, even capable of erasing the memories of those affected afterward!

It doesn't quite count as erasing, that would be an exaggeration; it's just that they will gradually forget.

Just like some unimportant matter.

Before transmigrating, Yun Mu would often forget what she had for lunch, even if less than four or five hours had passed since the meal.

The human brain is just like that; unimportant things are all swept into the trash heap of memory and quickly cleared away.

The certificate's memory-clearing effect is about the same.

It is time to reinforce the last piece of blue equipment.

Yun Mu puts away the certificate with satisfaction and hands the newly acquired Blood Shackles to Guleiya.

The Stun effect can cause an enemy to miss a turn of action, which is equivalent to only being able to act once every two turns.

It is actually quite broken.

It's just that the Stun effect of most skills is very difficult to trigger, mainly because the probability of Stun is not high enough and gets reduced by the enemy's resilience attribute.

But as long as you add the Stun probability provided by the equipment... Heh heh, enough talk, reinforce it for me!

【1. Blood-stained sinner's shackles: These are iron shackles that have been in service at a certain prison since the century before last. They are hard in texture, of appropriate size, and the shell covered in Xiuxie and dark red dried blood tells of their long history. But unfortunately, even though they are so reliable, the new warden decided to throw them into the forgotten trash heap and replace them with a new batch of shiny torture instruments.】

【2. Ascetic Monk's shackles: It is said that a long time ago, or perhaps even now, some believers who were incredibly pious and Fanaticism would bind themselves with extremely harsh requirements. Most of them lived in extreme pain, but the physical pain could bring about spiritual ascension, thereby gaining even a momentary gaze from the gods.】

【3. Wuming's Battle Cry: This is a sound trapped in a bottle by a Witch using magic. The sound records the Roar emitted by a Wuming Legendary Warrior. The Witch who trapped the sound originally intended to use this bottle of sound to study the principle of a warrior's Battle Cry, but ultimately had to give up the research because opening the bottle would inevitably release the sound and knock himself out.】

Shackles, fetters, and a Battle Cry?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yun Mu always feels that the reinforcement materials Guleiya pulls out are getting stranger and stranger.

But it doesn't matter; as long as it can be successfully reinforced, she doesn't really care about the materials.

She just needs to pick the most suitable one.

From the appearance, the sinner's shackles are undoubtedly the most suitable reinforcement material for the Blood Shackles, but that is only in terms of appearance.

Then what about the Ascetic Monk's shackles? This feels like the least reliable one; it's impossible to guess in which direction the skill effect will develop after reinforcement.

The description of the final material, Wuming's Battle Cry, says it has the ability to stun people, but... can the Blood Shackles emit sound?

I just feel that the compatibility between the two is not very high.

Let's choose the sinner's shackles; perhaps this is the most secure decision.

【Blood-stained Shackles (Blue)】 → 【Yearning for Freedom (Purple)】

【Yearning for Freedom (Purple)】

【Stun probability +75%】

【Displacement resistance +50%】

【Passive skill: Double Stun】

【When the wearer stuns an enemy for the first time, it will cause their Stun resistance to no longer increase; this can only be triggered once per battle.】

【In this world, no one is truly free, and to obtain freedom, one often has to Deprivation others of their freedom!】

After the upgrade, the Blood Shackles still look like a pair of shackles, only the blood and rust stains on them have disappeared.

But it still looks like that tattered thing, as if it had just been simply refurbished.

However, the attribute bonuses and skill effects it provides are quite good.

The Stun probability and displacement resistance don't need to be mentioned, and although its skill Double Stun is different from the continuous double stun she imagined, it is also quite easy to use.

As everyone knows, when an enemy in a Dungeon is stunned, they will gain a 【Stun resistance +50%】 buff for one turn.

This means that unless the skill's Stun probability is very high, it is basically impossible to control the enemy for two consecutive turns.

But with this skill, stunning them for two consecutive turns is no longer a very difficult thing to achieve.

As for what to do after two rounds end? Who knows; after all, Yun Mu would already be able to end the battle before then.

"Phew." The blue equipment was reinforced well enough. Yun Mu let out a long breath and looked at the Gold Coin balance in her backpack.

With 164,000 Gold Coins remaining, she did not intend to spend them all.

The original plan was to reinforce some blue quality equipment, then reinforce four pieces of Ziyue Pinzhi equipment.

But looking at it now, after pondering for a moment, Yun Mu changed her original idea. She would reinforce one Orange quality piece of equipment, then reinforce one Ziyue Pinzhi piece of equipment and stop there.

First is the purple one—hmm, it's decided, you, Cross Amulet!

Yun Mu had a premonition that the effect of this item after reinforcement would definitely be very good.

【Gold Coin -26,000】

"What exquisite craftsmanship!" Guleiya picked up the Cross Amulet and exclaimed, "I have never seen such a complex alchemical product."

Her words left Yun Mu somewhat speechless.

Aren't you a blacksmith? How can you even tell things related to alchemy? But she only complained in her heart; after all, the Blacksmith Shop in a Dungeon cannot be viewed by conventional logic.

Never mind alchemical products; as long as it is a piece of equipment, Guleiya can reinforce it.

"Let me think, these materials should be suitable for this piece of equipment." Guleiya pondered for a moment and took out three materials, placing them in front of Yun Mu.

【1. Saint's Shroud: "Saint" cannot be considered a rare title; whether it is those powerful Epic-level priests or the illustrious Popes in history, they can all be called saints. And this shroud, quite luckily, was once used to wrap the body of a deceased saint.】

【2. Decaying Evil God Eyeball: In Heral Calendar year 3580, an Evil God named the King of Rotting Poison invaded this world. However, in less than half a month, this Evil God lost his Anchor Point and was expelled. To this day, his eyeball is still strictly kept in the storage facility of the Church of War and Thunder.】

【3. Noble Indomitable Soul: A person with a noble personality does not necessarily have a noble soul, but a person with a noble soul must have a noble personality. That burning soul, shining like gold, will inevitably attract the gaze of the gods.】

Should one say it is worthy of being the materials required to reinforce a Purple Champion-level piece of equipment into an Orange Legendary-level one? Each one looks so special.

Yun Mu first excluded the 【Decaying Evil God Eyeball】 material; she did not want the Cross Amulet to change in that direction.

Then only the 【Saint's Shroud】 and the 【Noble Indomitable Soul】 remained as these two materials.

After thinking about it, she decided to use the 【Saint's Shroud】 to perform the reinforcement.

After all, using a person's soul or something to reinforce equipment sounds quite perverted.

It wasn't as if there was only that one choice; Yun Mu still leaned more toward what she expected.

【Cross Amulet (Purple)】 → 【Divine Emblem (Orange)】

【Divine Emblem (Orange)】

【HP +40 / Defense +10】

【Tenacity +4】

【All Attribute Debuff Resistance +60%】

【Passive Skill: Purify】

【Clears all negative statuses on the wearer every round, and restores 15 HP simultaneously.】

【Active Skill: Devotion】

【Deduct 25% of own HP to restore 10% HP to all allies and reduce 15 points of stress.】

【Active Skill: Smite】

【Excite the power within the Divine Emblem to deal Spell Strength damage with a +40% damage modifier to two units simultaneously, range 2.】

【100% critical hit against 【Evil】 units!】

【An ancient amulet harboring Divine power. It became more powerful after absorbing the residual power on the Saint's Shroud, capable of shielding the wearer from all negative statuses and sacrificing itself at critical moments to save teammates.】

Forty HP, ten Defense! Sixty percent debuff resistance! There is even four points of Tenacity.

Besides that, the skill Purify can clear all negative statuses on the wearer every round! It's all of them! Is it this perverted?

Its active skill 【Devotion】 is even more outrageous.

It actually deducts and adds HP based on percentages, and at critical moments, it can even be used to reduce stress; it is simply invincible.

As for the final Smite, there is nothing much to say; it is a standard damage skill.

The only thing worth mentioning is the 100% critical hit point when facing enemies that are 【Evil】 units.

But a range of 2 is inevitably too short; when standing in the third position, one cannot hit anyone.

A bit hard to judge.

Overall, the Divine Emblem is still a very useful piece of equipment.

Yun Mu began to pick the last piece of Orange equipment she thought could be reinforced.

Shambler Sculpture, Molten Shield, Decay Touch, Red Oil Candle, Heavy Magic Ice Staff Modified, Frost Queen's Sigh—looking at it this way, she has quite a lot of Orange Legendary-level equipment.

Which one to reinforce? For a moment, she really had no clue.

She could only choose based on the method of elimination.

First, exclude the Shambler Sculpture and Frost Queen's Sigh.

Yun Mu believed these two pieces of equipment had no need for reinforcement for the time being.

The remaining four pieces of equipment... Damn it, how come she wants to reinforce every single one?

Yun Mu glanced at the remaining balance of Gold Coins in her backpack and could only tearfully give up the idea of reinforcing them all.

Then, for her, what is the most useful one right now?

Her gaze whirled between the four pieces of equipment, and finally, Yun Mu let her eyes rest on the 【Heavy Magic Ice Staff Modified】.

If one were to ask which piece of equipment is most useful to her, without a doubt, it would be this staff she is currently using.

Staff reinforcement can significantly increase her Spell Strength, spell penetration, and the recovery speed of Spirituality and Qi Strength.

Even setting aside the spell bonuses, the Heavy Magic Ice Staff is also a very handy melee weapon—hmm... although she rarely uses melee attacks to eliminate enemies now.

"Let's choose this one."

Handing the staff to Guleiya, Yun Mu suddenly felt very expectant about the feeling of holding a Red Epic-level weapon in her hands.

【Gold Coin -83,000】

A message notification popped up on the Game Panel that made her heart ache, and subsequently, three materials were placed before Yun Mu.

【1. True Ice: In the polar regions where no one has explored and no one can explore, deep within ice layers that have failed to melt for tens of millions of years, the divine power of the God of the Ice Flame Polar Circle tightly Freeze a certain existence spreading beneath the deep sea; this is the origin of True Ice.】

【2. Dragon God's Tooth: This is a tooth shed by the Dragon God Roderick; in other words, this is the dragon bone of the Dragon God Roderick. Choosing this material will allow your staff to take a step further on the path of the dragon.】

【3. Root of the Elven Ancient Tree: The Dragon God Roderick once ascended to godhood by devouring the roots of the Elven Ancient Tree, but because of this, he was sealed within the root prison of the ancient tree. Without a doubt, this is one of the top-tier materials in the world, with an extremely strong bonus to magic!】

They all look quite good; which one should she choose?

Yun Mu pondered with some hesitation.
