Chapter 48 (1/2)

Soon, while the players shrieked in amazement, Liu Ming’s weapon had already been strengthened to Refinement Level 18.

“Damn it! He’s strengthened his weapon by 18 levels. Big Shot Floating Cloud surely isn’t thinking of refining straight to Level 20, is he?”

“How can that be? God Domain may not have released an official statement about the refinement success rate after Refinement Level 16, but according to some data analysis and speculation, I’m afraid the success rate of reaching Refinement Level 20 is only 1%. No matter how impressive Big Shot Floating Cloud may be, he can’t possibly succeed every single time.”

“That’s right! The probability of reaching Refinement Level 19 and Refinement Level 20 is so low. Besides, Big Shot Floating Cloud has a Level 30 weapon that has 18 levels added to it. He has already far surpassed other players. There’s no need for him to continue refining.”

…

“Everyone, stop arguing. Big Shot Floating Cloud has already added 19 levels to his weapon. We’ll find out whether he reaches Refinement Level 20 later.”

As the voice sounded, the players around the blacksmith store fell silent as if they had all abruptly pressed the pause button.

The players held their breath and looked at the regional channel in front of them, fearing that they would miss a scene that was destined to be recorded in God Domain’s history if they were careless.

Liu Ming, who was in the limelight, also looked a little excited yet hesitant.

Just like one of the players had said previously, the success rate of reaching Refinement Level 20 was probably only 1% or less. Even if Liu Ming was extremely lucky and had the Blessing of Lady Luck’s support, he would not be able to reach a 100% success rate.

“Forget it. There’s a 20% to 30% chance of success anyway. Besides, with the Blessing Of Lady Luck, I’ll definitely succeed next time even if I fail this time.” Soon, Liu Ming figured everything out and activated the final round of refinement three seconds before the Blessing Of Lady Luck ended.

Soon, a regional announcement and a camp announcement appeared in front of all the players present at the same time.

[System: Congratulations, Adventurer Floating Cloud, you have successfully refined Sky Sword to Level 20.]

…

[System Announcement (Light Alliance): Congratulations, Floating Cloud, you have successfully refined Sky Sword to Level 20, becoming the first Adventurer to strengthen a piece of equipment to Refinement Level 20. Special Reward: 100 Gold Coins and 1,000 Light Camp Reputation.]

…

The camp channel was a branch of the national channel that came after the version update. After all, God Domain was now divided into two large camps. If there was only a national channel, the players of the other camp would instantly know if there was any major movement when players said some things on the national channel.

The camp channels were created because of that.

Besides, players from different camps could not add each other in the game or send each other private messages. This eliminated the possibility of certain guilds planting players in opposing camps as undercover moles.

However, even though many players would never see this announcement, Liu Ming caused a huge commotion.

“Damn it! Big Shot Floating Cloud has reached Refinement Level 20 in one go!”

“Damn it! We’ve just witnessed a historical moment in God Domain!”

“Big Shot Floating Cloud is indeed an existence that creates miracles. Compared to him, we’re just garbage.”

“Big Shot Floating Cloud, do you lack an underling?”
