29 Anito System (1/2)
As soon as they brought in the beast, everybody couldn't help but be amazed. This thing was at least 3 times as large as the biggest crocodile on record prior to the new world.
The croc was cooked in multiple ways, and handed out to those who actually wanted to eat it. The ones who didn't have the appetite, later regretted it, as people said that it was the best tasting meat they've ever had, and they could feel it nourishing their body to a noticeable degree.
After finally having the time to sit down and rest, Luna decided it was time to upgrade his weapons. Just as he pulled up his inventory, he noticed his armor had a glowing border around it. After selecting it, it opened up an option for him:
<Upgrade Armor? Y/N>
”Yes.”
Of course! He had been so busy that he forgot that this armor actually grew stronger along with him. The current scaly armor was now starting to transform, that part where the shoulder pads were, started forming a dragon head, with it's maw in full view. The chest area looked as if it was a breastplate, but every time he breathed, the little unique gaps in the middle looked as if there was dragon fire inside of them. It was all very interesting to see it transform like that. He could somehow start to hear a dragon's spirit within the armor itself. What was even more surprising was that this spirit actually nourished his soul ever so slightly, which made him look forward to see how far this armor's growth would go in the future.
Next up, he proceeded to upgrade his Guandao, after the new upgrading and modification stations were installed, he could now upgrade his weapon 3 more times. The good part about upgrading in this new world, was that it wasn't RNG-based. One only needed to spend VIS until the upgrade bar was filled up and it would automatically increase.
+4!
+5!
+6! <Upgrading this equipment to +6 has unlocked the Anito* for this weapon>
----------------------------
<Anito System>
Different items within the world have spirits that lay dormant within them. Upgrading weapons and armor is only one way of awakening these spirits.
The most basic effect of Anitos is to strengthen your weapon further than +6
Weapon and armor all gain a spirit gauge at +6, in order to get any higher, one must equip the weapon or armor while eliminating mobs** to fill up the gauge before you are able to continue strengthening it.

”Interesting. I wonder what Anito my weapon has and what extra effects it might have?” Luna wondered. He was curious if it would have it's own will an actually be able to communicate with it's owner. After finding out this information, he relayed it to the rest of his core members to share with their respective regiments.
He'd later share this information with his soldiers as well, but as of right now, there wasn't much point. They wouldn't be able to afford anything beyond +3 at the moment anyway.
