Looking at the reforged Force of Nature, Mike was very satisfied.
The attributes spoke for themselves: 150,000 Intelligence and 90,000 Spirit.
This was the kind of power an SSS-tier equipment should possess!
Besides Force of Nature, Mike had seen two other SSS-tier equipment.
One was the Nightmare’s Breeze he was currently wearing.
Even as a Battle Damaged Version, an SSS-tier equipment could still outshine any SS-tier equipment.
The other was Calderon’s Black Coffin.
It was only now that Mike remembered why Calderon could only summon six pieces of armor.
A coffin only had six panels.
Calderon’s Black Coffin could negate one instance of damage in battle and grant complete immunity to that element for a period of time.
This alone was enough to make Mike envious!
While each SSS-tier equipment required a massive investment of resources, the benefits they brought were equally immense.
If it weren’t for the limited production capacity, every top powerhouse (expert) in the human race would definitely have an SSS-tier equipment.
The most difficult aspect of crafting an SSS-tier equipment was the forger!
Throughout history, there had been no more than ten SSS-tier equipment crafted by human master smiths.
Some of these SSS-tier equipment were even placed in special areas as guardians.
The number that could actually be distributed to the top powerhouses of the human race was extremely limited.
Even if an SSS-tier equipment was crafted, there were conditions for its use.
For example, [Force of Nature],
even if Mike gave it to someone else, they wouldn’t be able to use it.
Why had the [Nightmare’s Breeze], the Battle Damaged Version SSS-tier equipment that Mike had taken from the Forest of Truth, been left there for so long?
Because no one except Morpheus could take it away.
The same applied to the Thunderclap Hammer. Although many had tried, in reality, no one except Mike could take it away.
When equipment reached a certain level of power, it was no longer a matter of people choosing equipment, but equipment choosing people.
Out of the five perks of Force of Nature, the first two were self-explanatory.
One increased the level of Force of Nature, and the other increased all attributes.
The third perk, [Elemental Twinborn], was a unique feature of Force of Nature. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The [Ice Barrier] perk was Mike’s favorite.
One layer every 12 hours, each layer capable of blocking one instance of damage.
Two layers a day, only 60 layers a month.
It seemed like a powerful perk, but in reality, it could be easily countered by certain skills.
For example, [Zap Attack], [Thorn Whip], [Firestorm]…
Any skill that could deal continuous, multiple instances of damage could easily break through these barriers.
However!
This didn’t diminish Mike’s love for [Ice Barrier]!
“When it comes to life-saving measures, the more the merrier, never too many!”
As for the last perk, [Shadow Castle], Mike hadn’t figured out its function yet.
He would have to experiment with it later when he had time, with the help of the powerhouses in Guardian Shadow.
Overall, Mike was very satisfied with the power of Force of Nature.
After putting away Force of Nature, Mike looked at Master Fool, hesitant to speak.
Master Fool was clearly in a bad mood and asked directly,
“What else?”
Mike was honest.
“What about the money you owe me?”
Master Fool’s voice rose significantly. “When did I ever owe you money?!”
Mike carefully calculated,
“There were a lot of unexpected incidents during the reforging of Force of Nature. We need to settle the bill, right?”
At this, Master Fool’s face turned cold.
She knew she was in the wrong and didn’t argue.
“So what do you want to do?”
Mike took out the plan he had prepared beforehand.
“You help me craft another SS-tier weapon, and we’ll call it even!”
“Crafting is fine.”
Master Fool was a woman of principle.
“I’ll craft whatever I want. Take it or leave it.”
She wasn’t stupid.
If she let Thor lead her by the nose, she would be sold and still have to help count the money!
Mike understood.
His level wasn’t high enough yet, and his strength wasn’t as formidable as Ares’, so he
couldn’t force her to comply.
He could only try to reason with her.
“I went to the abyss recently.”
Mike suddenly said, “The Archdemon gave me the First Abyss.”
Master Fool: “???”
“Really?!”
Mike nodded. “No, I’m just kidding.”
Master Fool: “…”
“The plane fragment of the Fourth Abyss will soon be connected to my private space.”
Mike knew exactly what Master Fool wanted. “If you help me craft this equipment, I’ll take you to the Fourth Abyss.”
Master Fool hesitated for a moment, trying to get more benefits. “I also want to go to the
First Abyss.”
Mike rolled his eyes.
“Do you want me to gather all the abyssal planes and let you have a grand tour?”
Master Fool: “Really? You’re not joking, are you?”
Mike said exasperatedly, “Give me a condition I can actually agree to.”
“Then…”
Master Fool looked around and her gaze landed on the Money Tree. “I want to shake the
Money Tree once.”
Before Mike could speak, Master Fool added, “Whatever I shake out, it’s mine!”
Mike fell silent for a moment.
It didn’t sound like he would lose anything.
To be on the safe side, Mike still asked, “May I ask, what’s your Luck value?”
Master Fool’s face darkened, and she didn’t answer.
Clearly, this question touched a sore spot.
Mike suddenly found the situation amusing!
“Don’t tell me it’s 1?”
Seeing Master Fool’s reaction, Mike continued to guess, “o?”
“Holy crap, your Luck wouldn’t happen to be negative, would it?!”
Judging by Master Fool’s reaction, it was confirmed!
Master Fool with negative Luck!
No wonder the process of crafting Force of Nature had been so bumpy, there was a reason for
it!
“Quick, quick, quick!”
Mike dragged Master Fool all the way to the Money Tree, asking everyone in line to step aside.
“Today’s the day I feast my eyes!”
Mike gave the stage to Master Fool and made a gesture of invitation.
“Whatever you shake out, it’s yours!”
There was a professional gaming term to describe Master Fool-a cushion!
For lottery events like the Money Tree, having a cushion go first was always a good idea!
Master Fool felt insulted.
She reached out and shook the Money Tree.
Then,
Clink-
The sound of a coin landing was music to their ears.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Master Fool, with her negative Luck, successfully shook out:
Half a copper coin.
