Chapter 1364: Investment

Do you want to improve " Dragon Flash +2»?
yes/no.
Su Xiao decided to continue. No matter what, he had to sharpen the Dragon Flash to «+10».
The machine started working again, and after about two minutes, a tray of puffs of steam popped out.

Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +3!
Su Xiao immediately launched the next upgrade.

Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +4!
Standing in the midst of the scalding steam, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. At the expense of spending 540,000 Paradise coins, he sharpened the Dragon Flash to «+4».
He only had 52,600 Paradise coins left in his hands.
A medal kept twirling between Su Xiao's fingers. This was a "Badge of honor", which allowed to increase the chances of successful sharpening on the 5%.
Since he didn't have enough coins on hand, Su Xiao waited for the Black Sail man. While he was in Van Pease, they managed to sell the Spider Queen, the Ghost Hunter, and the silver ring of the Moon Goddess.
The Spider Queen and Ghost Hunter were both weapons with very good stats.
The Spider Queen was sold for 210,000 Paradise Coins.
The ghost hunter went for just 165,000 Paradise coins, because crossbows, to put it mildly, were not very popular.
Moon Goddess Ring Sold for 700,000 Paradise Coins.
After deducting the commission, Su Xiao should have received a total of 1,021,250 Paradise coins.
Although the Black Sails had a bad reputation, they worked very efficiently.
Ten minutes later, a black-robed man entered the equipment sharpening building.
— Mr. Byakuya?.. The man asked cautiously. Although he had seen Su Xiao's picture and used a special device to identify him several times, he decided to make sure that the right person was standing in front of him just in case.
— This is me.
— Here are your eight hundred thousand Paradise coins. The remaining part will be delivered within an hour. Every minute of delay after this hour will be compensated with ten thousand Paradise coins, " the man said and held out a card with 800,000 Paradise coins.
The card immediately broke in Su Xiao's hand, and his account was replenished with 800,000 Paradise coins.
— All right, I'll be waiting.
— Sorry to bother you, I wish you good luck with your sharpening — " after saying that, he immediately left, probably to collect the remaining Paradise coins. Although the Black Sails operated with large amounts, they did not like to store funds in coins, and preferred to keep all assets in rare things.
This made this ward very different from the others.
After receiving the money, Su Xiao decided to start a new upgrade, but this time, he also put two black coals on the tray.
These embers increased the chances of successful sharpening by 2% for each stone..
Together with these stones and the token effect, the chances of a successful outcome increased significantly, and fortunately, he didn't need to increase the chances to the maximum, as he only wanted to sharpen the Dragon Flash to «+10».

Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +7!
Three good results in a row proved that the sign together with the embers worked very well.
The machine in front of Su Xiao was starting to glow, and he was already blushing.
He only had 9 coals left, so this time Su Xiao put 3 of them on the tray and started sharpening.
*Whew~*
Now, since the sword had to be sharpened to+8, there were two possible scenarios for an unsuccessful outcome. The level of sharpening could drop to "+6", or even reset to zero.
If the sharpening level drops, Su Xiao will definitely not be able to sharpen the sword to+10 in the near future.
*Whew!..*
Along with the steam, the tray popped out of the machine. It looked like a piece of hot iron.
White steam rose from the Dragon's Flash.

Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +8!
Su Xiao clenched his fists and started the upgrade again.
A few minutes later, Su Xiao suddenly heard a click, causing his heart to stop beating for a moment.
— No!!! There was a desperate yell from nearby.
Su Xiao, with a cold sweat on his face, looked to the side and saw a large man leaning his head against the phone with a dejected expression, muttering as he did so — " It's all gone, it's all gone, three worlds and five lives...
Bubtney looked at the man and shifted his gaze to Su Xiao, clearly wanting to ask, " Master, is this such an exciting activity?»
— Probably... Yes, " Su Xiao replied and breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't sharpen the Dragon Flash today, he would have to work in the next world to collect the required amount of coins for a new round of sharpening, which would level out about a third of his income from Wang Pis.
Steam gushed out and a new notification appeared in front of him.

Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +9!
Su Xiao was only one step away from his goal. If he can make this move, he will become noticeably stronger. The Duke of Nirvana, a gold-grade sniper rifle with a+13 sharpener, allowed you to kill fourth-rank contractors without much trouble, and the third-rank one was simply pulverized.
If the Dragon's Flash was sharpened to+13, even if Su Xiao was facing a superior creature, he would be able to deal serious damage to it without much trouble.
Although the absolute gap in strength couldn't be closed with just one sword, if the dragon's Flash was sharp enough, Su Xiao would have a chance to turn the tide of the battle in his favor.
For example, if Su Xiao had the legendary Dragon Flash with a+13 sharpener on his hands in Wang Pis, then Garp simply wouldn't be able to do anything about his attacks. Even then, the Dragon Flash combined with Su Xiao's sword skills allowed him to break through Garp's defenses, but due to his lack of sharpness, he was unable to deal any serious damage to Garp.
He only needed to take one step to sharpen his sword to+10. He could certainly stop there until better times, but he wasn't going to back down right now.
Yes, the cost of sharpening the Dragon Flash was very high, and due to the quality improvement, the previously available sharpening was reset, but if he didn't sharpen it right now, would Su Xiao be able to fight on equal terms with the worthy Rank four members?
He'd never met a contractor with a legendary weapon before, and he hadn't owned one himself until recently. Right now, Su Xiao had to strike a balance between sharpening and improving the quality of the Dragon Flash, and right now, it was much cheaper and more reliable to sharpen the Dragon Flash to the maximum level available than trying to advance this sword to the next quality.
Saving and increasing capital was not a bad choice, but if a person only saved and did not spend the available funds at the right times, this will ultimately lead to the fact that they will lose time and money. Just one mistake could create a snowball, which will only get bigger over time and eventually this lump will kill a person..
Right now, Su Xiao needed a shovel that he could use to clear the snow in front of him. This was the main reason why he decided not to choose the legendary Chest as a reward.
If he sharpens the Dragon Flash to+13, his chances of getting more valuable rewards will increase significantly, however, his sword itself will move to the next quality much faster due to the fact that Su Xiao will be able to receive significantly more rewards..
Every time the quality of the Dragon Flash increased, Su Xiao would immediately try to sharpen the sword to at least "+8", so that his weapon would definitely be a level higher than a weapon of the same quality.
It was a necessary investment. If he hadn't sharpened his sword every time it was upgraded, he wouldn't have been able to break past the third rank.
After lighting a cigarette, Su Xiao exhaled a puff of light smoke.
The world around him seemed to have changed.
The lighter, three embers, and the sign all started working. He used everything he could and launched another sword upgrade.
