CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 104: SETTING OUT FOR THE LOST ALTAR

Lin Rui spent a total of 350,000 units of various resources to successfully enhance all the Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouches three times.

[Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch (Divine Blessing Three Times): A pouch made from an organ of the Stone-Horned Beast, the finest material loading tool. Can load 10,000 units of resources.]

The enhancement effect is very monotonous, yet undeniably powerful. It expanded directly from 500 units to 10,000 units of resources. It’s almost at a level of qualitative change. If the next enhancement doesn’t trigger, then the next one is bound to involve qualitative change. At that time, if the enhancement fails, the item will be lost.

Such a powerful enhancement is also the result of the direct consumption of territorial wealth. A mountain of resources was directly emptied by about a quarter, requiring continual transportation of materials from the warehouse.

It’s fair to say that the territory fought bloodily overnight, with a considerable portion of the results invested in this area.

However, logistical supply has always been the top priority for an army, and Lin Rui was not reluctant to invest.

This is a leap-level enhancement for the army.

Other Lords’ armies require carts to carry loads of materials, severely hampering their marching speed.

Whereas Lin Rui only needs to pack all the supplies into the Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouches, and a hero can carry it in their backpack, allowing the entire army to travel lightly and swiftly!

Freed from logistical constraints, an elite force is like a tiger with wings, invincible.

So next, he placed the [Strategic Treasure: Subspace Tomb] under the Goddess Pendulum.

Strengthening strategic treasures is even more expensive, with the first time costing 10,000 units of resources for all units. The second time costs 50,000, halving the success rate. The third time costs 100,000, reducing the success rate to a negligible 10%.

Per ordinary probabilities, it would likely take millions of resources to enhance it to +3. Theoretically, that’s about right.

But one must know that any theory inevitably encounters chance occurrences in practice.

Especially things like probability, which fall under the realm of mysticism among mystics.

Theoretically, flipping a coin a hundred times should result in a 50% chance of heads or tails. But in reality, flipping a coin a hundred times, the probability is calculated each time, each is a 50% chance, meaning flipping a hundred times and getting heads every time is an astronomical improbability, but as long as the base is large enough, someone will certainly encounter it.

And in Lin Rui’s case, thrice using Krypton Gold, with unreasonable results—success or failure options, Lin Rui hit success every time. Even if the third time had only a 10% probability (nominally), Lin Rui coincidentally hit that 10%.

So Lin Rui used only 160,000 units of various resources to enhance the strategic treasure successfully in one go.

Audrey has grown numb to this cheat.

Obviously unreasonable things seem entirely reasonable when it comes to Lord. For some reason, the subconscious always feels, Lord should seem to have such good luck. Not having it... seems rather abnormal.

And the enhancement effects of [Strategic Treasure: Subspace Tomb] were immediate, soaring from a space of 100,000 units to 300,000.

Lin Rui subsequently enhanced all four other strategic treasures to +3.

[Strategic Treasure: Skull Sanctity (Divine Blessing Three Times): The skull emblem represents the purity of humanity, its significance not merely proving this person never corrupted or degenerated until death, pure and untainted, but also representing noble sacrifice. When worn, all Human Race troops under the Commander have Physique +15% (+10%), Will +15% (+10%). When fighting the Chaos Army, Damage +20% (+10%), Physical Resistance +20% (+10%), Spiritual Resistance +20% (+10%).]

[Strategic Treasure: Sergeant Major’s Military Soul (Divine Blessing Three Times): The Sergeant Major is the most renowned warrior in an army. Equipped, all soldiers in the territory are guided by the Sergeant Major’s Military Soul, Morale +40 (+20), Life Value +500 (+300), Spiritual Energy Value +300 (+200), gained skill Close Combat Specialization lv5 (+lv2), Physique +10 (+5), Will +8 (+5), Wisdom +4 (+3), Soul +3 (+2), Close Combat Damage +30% (+15%), Close Combat Defense +30% (+15%), Attack Speed +30% (+15%).]

[Strategic Treasure: Flesh (+and Metal) Tide (Divine Blessing Three Times): Use the tide of flesh (+and metal) to extinguish any resistance. Close combat unit quality +80% (+30%), total Close Combat Damage +50% (+Corporate,+20%),+ total Close Combat Physical Defense +50% (+this term)o Life Value Limit +50% (+30%), on the battlefield each time a Close Combat Soldier is added, all units’ Life Value Limit increases by 2 (+1) points, all units’ Physical Defense +0.1 (+this term). (Note: Enhancement cannot surpass Life’s Limit.)]

[Strategic Treasure: Magic Secret Spell (Divine Blessing Three Times): Dark mage can recombine shattered spirits, correct broken bodies, thus enabling greater atrocities. All undead creatures linked by dark magic, total Life Value +80% (+30%), total Physical Defense Value +80% (+30%), but fear fire, suffer Flame Damage +85% (-15%).]

Having spent 790,000 units of various resources, Lin Rui smoothly enhanced these four strategic treasures three times.

Then Lin Rui affixed the [Strategic Treasure: Magic Secret Spell] to Audrey’s forehead, and then re-wore the other three strategic treasures himself.

Reasonably speaking, Lin Rui is now somewhat confused himself; he doesn’t even know how strong he became after spending over a million on enhancements this time.
