71 Gains (1/2)
Even though getting all those levels was the biggest gain he received, he managed to receive the loot for killing Juan as well.
-------------------------------
You've obtained <Visanium> x 200
-------------------------------
He wasn't quite sure just how much 200 chunks of <Visanium>, but it sure as hell wasn't a bad thing.
-------------------------------
You've obtained <Luzonium> x 800.
-------------------------------
The next pieces he received were something new. While the <Visanium> had a deep blue color to it, <Luzonium> looked almost like crystalized blood, but it was just as tough as it's counterpart.
-------------------------------
<Luzonium>
Used to upgrade Armor. Every failure increases the chance to succeed in every subsequent attempt.
The chance to succeed drastically goes down after +6.
Equipment will not be damaged when failing towards +7 and +8 but will consume materials.
Going to +9 and higher carries the risk of damaging equipment.
The user must then pay the appropriate amount of currency to repair the damaged piece of equipment.
Upgrading stations are not needed in order to use these materials or to repair armor after failed attempts towards +9 or higher.
-------------------------------
After seeing the description, even Luna was tempted. He pressed one of the small, round, crystal pieces onto a +6 upper body armor piece that he had in his inventory until he eventually inserted five.
The armor piece glowed red.
The red glow, which was actually the crystal changing form to surround the armor, started to glow brighter gradually, it seemed as if it was reaching its climax when all of a sudden, it shattered. Luna heard what sounded like a gem that just got split in half. The ”crystal” covering the armor piece split in half, fell, and then like dust, scattered into the wind.
Evidently, it cost five Luzonium per attempt going to +7. He kept trying again and again. On the 6th attempt, a different scene played out. Instead of the crystal breaking and scattering like dust, it hardened even more, and it slowly seeped into the armor piece.
SUCCESS!
After failing 5 times, it finally succeeded on the 6th try. There was no fanfare like in an actual MMORPG, but the notification that it succeeded more than satisfying enough. The defense increase at +7 surpassed even that of the bonus given from +4 to +6 combined. This was definitely a huge gain.
But.
”Here, you guys deserve this.” He tossed it over to the two squads and Elder Aran. He already gained much from this trip, he wouldn't be so greedy as to leave the everyone else with nothing. ”You guys can decide on who gets that armor piece. As for these remaining <Luzonium>, there are 770 left, divide it amongst yourselves.”
The soldiers and even Elder Aran were ecstatic. Weapons were definitely great, but the added protection from armor meant better chances of survival. What was the point of being able to kill fast if you died faster, after all?
