29 Chapter 29 (1/2)

”So, the upgrade let me put a new stat on my linked equipment. Def2? I wonder what this will do? Will I get to increase more of my shield's defense every time I use a magic crystal on it?” thought Cade.

”And iron? If I choose this, will my cardboard turn to iron?” thought Cade again. It might not be a bad idea to turn his cardboard to iron. It will help him a lot especially if he was dealing with fire or water.

Cade made his decision and choose to add the iron stat. The system immediately acknowledged his choice and a new stat was added to his cardboard round shield.

Cade checked his new cardboard round shield's stat.

Upon opening the stat of his upgraded cardboard round shield, 'iron' stat was added to the shield.

”There is not much change from this upgrade other than the iron stat,” said Cade.

”I wonder what this iron stat will do? To increase the iron stat, I need the iron magic crystal… They are quite expensive compare to the magic crystal related to stats,” said Cade.

Cade did not know what the iron stat can do. He just assumed that it will turn his shield to an iron the higher the iron stat was.

After Cade was done inspecting the stats of his shield, it was time to see his new shield. He closed the stat and saw the picture of his new shield. He can see that his shield had change color. Maybe it was not a cardboard anymore.

Cade took out the shield from his storage and to his surprise, there were quite a change happening to his cardboard round shield.

The most obvious changes were the color of the shield. Cade's shield was usually brown in color, the color of a cardboard. From a far, it was obvious that it was a cardboard.

The shield's color had now turned from brown to gray. It did not look like an iron but it just changes its color to gray.

Cade thought that the shield's composition will change to iron but that did not happen. The shield was still a cardboard but instead of brown cardboard, it was now a gray cardboard.

It did not turn heavier and it was light as usual. It also still had the foamy characteristics of a cardboard. The composition was totally the same as before.

Thanks to the changes in color, the cardboard looked like it was made from a slightly expensive cardboard.

Other than color, the shape of the shield had changed a bit. The shield had now turned slightly larger compared to before.

Before the upgrade, the cardboard round shield was flat. It was just a circle shape of cardboard. It was no wonder people were laughing at Cade and even Cade himself knew how ridiculous the shield looked.

After the upgrade however, the cardboard was not flat. It was now slightly concaved like a real round shield. It still looked obviously like a cardboard but it had better shape now.

”This looks better than before,” said Cade while smiling. He was happy that his cardboard round shield looked much more reliable compared to before. Even Cade himself sometimes had doubts that his shield can last longer during a fight.

”I should start upgrading my other linked equipment,” said Cade and he started inspecting his storage for other things he can use to upgrade his other linked equipment.

Cade decided to use the iron short sword he used on the slime dungeon and the iron body armor he had been using since entering the dungeon to upgrade his cardboard short sword and cardboard body armor respectively.

There was a reason why Cade upgraded them using the iron equipment. He wanted to give his cardboard linked equipment the iron stat.

While inspecting his new cardboard round shield, Cade found out that it resisted water and fire better than before. It was still a cardboard but it can resist water like a normal equipment made of iron.
