Chapter 681: Three major illusions, the first one I'll get lucky
Su Xiao walked over to the sharpening machine and pressed the sensor with his hand.
[Welcome to the equipment sharpening machine №182.
The user currently has 201.206 Paradise coins.]
Su Xiao took out the Dragon Flash. When the Paradise Coins weren't enough to buy new stronger items, the greatest benefit would be to sharpen the existing equipment.
After confirmation, a special compartment moved out of the device.
*F-f-f-f~*
At the same time, white steam escaped from the device. Su Xiao wasn't surprised. This was a normal occurrence.
After putting the Dragon Flash in the compartment, Su Xiao took out a rock and put it in a smaller compartment.
[Good Luck Stone.
Quality: Dark purple.
Type: Rare Consumable Item.
Effect: Can be used to ignore the penalty for failing to upgrade equipment. If the upgrade is successful, the Luck Stone can be reused until you receive a penalty..
Rating: 260.
Description: This stone is mainly used to protect equipment or punch holes in the defense.]
This particular stone was the reason why Su Xiao dared to come here. He wasn't sure if he could imprison the Dragon Flash, but he wasn't going to back down.
[Verification completed.
The cost of each sharpening attempt for Dragon Flash is 31,000 Paradise Coins..]
Seeing this price, Su Xiao requested a second check.
[Running a re-check...
Thirty- one thousand dollars per attempt. Su Xiao closed his eyes in despair. One failure was equivalent to wasting 31,000 Paradise coins and losing the Luck Stone.
If equipment sharpening to "+5 " failed, in the worst case scenario, the level of sharpening was reset. If the failure occurred from "+5 " to "+7", there was a 70% chance of removing one level of sharpening and 30% for destroying equipment. Starting with "+7" and then every failure, most likely, will end with the destruction of equipment.
As for sharpening above "+10", each attempt was right between heaven and hell. Success took the contractor to heaven. Failure-to Hell.
[Do you want to improve " Dragon Flash»?
yes/no.]
— Improve it.
[The upgrade has been launched, please wait five minutes.]
*Tudukh...*
The device started working and started making terrible sounds. From time to time, there was a hissing sound from the phone, which was not the case before.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye...
*F-f-f-f~*
Along with the opening of the compartment and a cloud of hot steam escaping from it, Su Xiao saw a notification.
[Dragon Flash +9 ... Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +9!]
Although the sharpening was successful, Su Xiao wasn't going to stop there. If the Dragon's Flash reaches the+10 sharpener, it will become much stronger.
Su Xiao's goal is to sharpen the sword to at least+10. He wanted to see how much stronger the ability "Cuts Iron like Dirt" would become.».
— Continue.
The machine started working and roaring again.
This time it was a very long five minutes. Not only Su Xiao, but the contractors standing nearby also felt the same way.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. He wasn't in the habit of smoking, but at times like this, only a cigarette could calm him down.
Hot steam was released from the equipment reinforcement machine. This time, the amount of steam was more than before. Su Xiao found that the higher the level of hardening, the more steam the equipment hardening machine releases and the higher the heating.
[Dragon Flash +10 ... Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +10!]
The sword regained its original sharpness.
Su Xiao took a deep breath and considered whether he should have continued.
His sword had already turned pale gold and was now stronger than ever, plus he had gained a new great ability...
However, Su Xiao needed to prepare for a mission to awaken her talent. The sooner he gets ready, the easier this mission will be for him.
— Continue... Continue.
[The upgrade has been launched, please wait ten minutes.]
The device started working again.
This time, instead of waiting five minutes, it was necessary to wait ten, and the sounds became louder, plus the device sometimes shuddered violently.
Su Xiao stood and smoked in silence. Although the success rate this time was low, the risk wasn't great. In the worst case scenario, he will lose a stone and 31,000 coins. Compared to the benefits of likely success, this risk was clearly worth it.
Taking a deep breath, he smiled. Since the risk was low, there was no need for him to be nervous.
If the risk really existed, he wouldn't have risked his sword. He would rather spend more money on improving the quality of the Dragon Flash, rather than possibly sharpening it with the chance of losing the sword.
After the cigarette in Su Xiao's hand burned out, the machine gradually stopped working.
[Dragon Flash +11... Dragon Flash now has a sharpener in the form of +11!]
Su Xiao's fists clenched, and his eyes seemed to shine again. According to his assumption, there were several "thresholds", crossing which you could get really strong gains, namely "+5", "+8", "+10" and «+12».
If the Dragon Flash is sharpened to "+12", what will it lead to? In that case, wouldn't this sword become equal to a gold-grade sword or even stronger?
— Success rate?
[Checking for rights...
Permission granted, success rate is 21%.]
Su Xiao thought about it. The 21% success rate seemed very high, but it really wasn't.
This was due to the problem of probabilities. If we were talking about a hundred attempts with a 21% chance of success, then everything would be fine, but if we were talking about one attempt, then 21%, in fact, was almost equal to one fifth.
Only one in five people will be lucky.
— The loss in case of failure is within the acceptable range, let's continue.
[The upgrade has been launched, please wait for fifteen minutes.]
The improvement time has increased again. Logically speaking, Su Xiao should be nervous right now, but for some reason, he was calm, not because he was confident in his luck, but because he was confident in his failure.
Not long before, he had opened more than a hundred treasure chests, ranging from the green ones to the gold chest, however, in the more than a hundred chests, the last of which were opened under the effect of Fate Redemption, he had only seen three flashes, and all of these flashes happened on low-quality chests.
According to his observation, although sometimes he was really unlucky, overall his luck was in a balanced state.
Previously, he was very unlucky, so now he didn't believe that he would continue to be unlucky, and after successfully improving three times in a row, he began to feel confident.
At this moment, a hooded girl with bear ears was standing not far from Su Xiao. She stared at the phone in front of her.
In fact, this girl was wearing cute pajamas and fluffy soft slippers. — I must be lucky, please let me be lucky, lucky... the girl squeezed her eyes shut, clasped her hands together, and began muttering to herself.
Many contractors, of course, just stood there waiting for the result, just like Su Xiao, but there were also those who prayed, hoping that their prayers would help them get lucky.
This girl was trying to improve the blue necklace to «+6».
While the girl was praying, a powerful jet of hot steam suddenly hit her side.
Covering her face with her hands, she was soon able to make out a figure in the midst of this cloud of steam.
The windbreaker on this figure was still flapping wildly due to the powerful stream of steam from the machine near him.
