Chapter 454 Upgrading The Weapons (1/2)
There were enough materials for upgrading the Holy Bone Bracer and the Illusory Dragon Spine, but the odds of success in increasing a weapon's grade and increasing its level were quite different. The former had a higher probability of success, while that of the latter was much lower.
It was just like the difference between the Cultivation Boosting Pill and the Martial Speed Boosting Pill, and in this way, Zachary didn't know whether he should increase his weapons' levels grade by grade, or go straight to the source and raise the levels directly. Increasing the levels grade by grade would consume a large amount of materials, but it was otherwise a relatively safe method. If he chose to raise the levels directly, the probability of failure was huge and omnipresent. Moreover, if he didn't excel at the task, he even risked destroying the weapons and turning them into nothing but useless scrap. On the other hand though, if he succeeded, the Holy Bone Bracer and the Illusory Dragon Spine would reach the Imperial Level. And at that point, he would be capable of defeating any opponent at the Imperial Level.
Will all that racing around in his mind, Zachary stood in front of the Heavenly Golden Furnace, hesitant about what to do next.
”What should I do? Increase their levels grade by grade or raise their levels directly?” he asked out loud to himself. Zachary touched his chin and paced back and forth. He suddenly stopped at random and asked Mimi, ”Mimi, are there any treasures in the system that can optimize the success rate of increasing a weapon's level?”
”Yes,” she replied at once. Mimi didn't dare to deny a thing.
”What?! Are you serious? There's really something? Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?” asked Zachary, feeling quite unsatisfied.
”Well, you didn't ask me,” Mimi replied concisely, in a matter-of-fact tone.
Zachary was rendered speechless. His mouth fell slightly open in awe, but not a sound came out.
”Well, I'm definitely asking now! Tell me more. How can I get my hands on this treasure?” Zachary, of course, had no reason not to surmise that obtaining the treasure would be a difficult task.
”Ah! Simple enough! All you need to do is go to the Treasure Cave,” Mimi replied, to Zachary's absolute surprise.
”The Treasure Cave, huh? That does sound simple enough. Isn't that just like the shopping mall where treasures are sold in the treasure beast system?” Zachary asked with a bright smile. He felt encouraged.
”That's right. The Treasure Cave specifically sells such treasures in order to help Imperial Level cultivation. That said, the price tag is quite hefty. If I remember correctly, it's at least a thousand treasure-hunting coins, if not more,” Mimi explained rationally.
