Chapter 135: Strengthening completed, attributes skyrocketed again! (Two in one!) In the forest of an isolated island. … Looking at the huge wild boar that fell in front of him, Joey breathed out softly: "With it, I should have enough for today's dinner." The strength of this mutant wild boar is not weak. With their huge size, thick-skinned defense, and ferocious savage collisions, ordinary first-level mystics are no match for them. But in front of the duo of Joey and An, a wizard and a knight, they could only end up with nothing on their plate. Recently. As the ship’s logistics supervisor and cook, Joey’s task is not an easy one. The main reason is…
The captain and several companions are very delicious! A more powerful body has a greater demand for energy. As a result, Xia En, An, and Fei Ya have quite a lot of appetites, not to mention that there is a growing baby dragon on the boat! “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Knight.” After resting for a while, Joey said to An beside him: "That's it for today's hunting." An nodded silently, picked up the prey, and walked towards the coast. Not long after, the two walked out of the forest. But just as he walked to the beach, Joey couldn't help but widen his eyes and stammered. "Card, Sir Knight! Where is our [Black Swan]?" Hearing this, An's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked towards the seaside. The jingling of the armor on his body was enough to show his panic and shock. Soon, An's eyes also solidified. I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar ship docked on the misty coast. The ship has a jet black hull, with a faint dark blue color. The texture is like steel and wood, taking into account some of the characteristics of both. The towering masts and chimneys look like giants in the mist. On various parts of the hull, you can still see some bright silver lines, which are emitting a hazy shimmer. It contains some kind of special secret power, which creates faint ripples in the sea water. Whether it is the appearance, or the length and width, it is quite different from the [Black Swan] in the two people’s memories. Can be biased… On the bow of that ship is carved a black swan with its wings fluttering high!
Joy and An looked at each other and could see each other's surprise. They just went to the island to hunt for a while. Why did the Black Swan become like this when they came back? The two of them hurried towards the [Black Swan]. After getting closer, Joey could more clearly feel the changes in the [Black Swan]. The entire ship has become wider and longer visibly to the naked eye, and even its height has increased considerably. The material of the hull has become extremely weird, as if it has changed from the original wood to an extraordinary material between metal and wood. It even feels warm to the touch! ? The moment they climbed onto the deck, a vague heartbeat sounded in Joey and An's ears. It seems like...the entire Black Swan is stretching with the heartbeat? Furthermore, Joey also noticed that when he was on the ship, the concentration of magic in the air around him seemed to be much stronger than before. “What the **** is this…” On the deck, Fei Ya and Xian Ge also walked out of the cabin because of the changes in the "Black Swan". Xiange flapped her wings, flew up to the mast, looked around, and couldn't help but marvel. “Wow, it’s really getting bigger!” “Could it be that it was affected by the blood of giants?” Fei Ya walked to the place with silver lines on the deck. After observing it carefully, surprise flashed in his eyes. “Is this... mithril?” “How does this metal fit into the hull?” “Furthermore, there is not only mithril, but also black steel, cloud iron...aren’t these all rare metals obtained from [Rust Waste City] before?” As a believer in the God of Steam and Steel, Feiya has a certain understanding of the properties of these metals. Therefore. He understood more clearly how unrealistic it was to integrate them all into the hull and obtain their excellent characteristics at the same time. Even the top mechanics in the Church of Steam cannot do this. Just when the crew members were amazed and sighing. Xia En was sitting in the captain's cabin, his face full of joy of the harvest. In front of his eyes, a lot of information washed past like a waterfall. 【The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! 】 【Durability limit +50! 】
【Strongness +5! 】 【Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Mithril", unlock the trait: Secret Power Aggregation】 【Quality: Rare】 【Description: Your ship is constantly attracting mysterious power, forming a unique field. 】 【Being in this field, the mystic's practice speed is slightly accelerated, and the power of some spells and skills is slightly increased! 】 【But at the same time, the high concentration of secret power will also attract the prying eyes of sea creatures and attract their attacks. 】 【This kind of rule is also recorded in the book "The Law of Secret Power Aggregation". 】 “Sure enough... is the main aspect of hull upgrade and improvement the durability and sturdiness?” Xia En touched his chin, not surprised. As the hull becomes larger, the health bar becomes thicker, and the upper limit of durability is naturally increased. The input materials are directly integrated into the original materials, subtly improving their quality and increasing the [sturdiness] attribute. You are defensive because you are too afraid of pain? Xia En grinned and looked at the newly unlocked trait [Secret Power Convergence]. Obviously, like the components on the ship, the [Black Swan] will also have special properties due to the extraordinary materials invested. "Gathering the secret power around? It will help the crew's practice." “It would be interesting if we could unlock a trait similar to [Retaliation].” “When the time comes, hitting me will be equivalent to hitting yourself?” Having a random thought, Xia En looked at the [Core Components] column on the panel. That’s right, this transformation has completed not only the main body of the ship, but also the components that were previously enhanced with [Crystal of Filth]! 【Core components—】 【Artillery: Silent Killing! (precious)】 【Steam Turbine: Gluttonous Monarch! (epic)】 【Secret Dragon Bone (precious)】 【Sea crystal wood hull (variation) (rare)】 【Phantom Storm Ray Sail (Rare)】 The names of guns, steam turbines and keels were all changed. Especially the first two, they seem to have their own exclusive code names. 【Silent Killing】
【Type: core component】 【Description: A cannon that has been strengthened multiple times by "Crystal of Filth" and has both the effects before and after the strengthening. 】 Effect 1: Silence—Your artillery pursues the aesthetics of silent and precise violence. 】 【The sound when the artillery fires will be greatly reduced, but when it hits an enemy target, it will be affected by "contamination" and "curse". 】 【Effect 2: Killing—Your artillery is hungry for killing! 】 【Every time an enemy target is killed with a cannonball, the power, hit rate, and speed of the artillery will be slightly increased! 】 【Effect 3: Pollution Curse (omitted later)】 I bloom in the midst of killing, like flowers in the dawn. 】 … 【Gluttony Monarch (Heart of Steam)】 【Type: core component】 【Description: When installed on a ship, it can increase the "Speed" attribute by 25 points! 】 【Effect 1: Gluttonous Monarch—This machine's appetite and recipes have become larger. It is no longer limited to the category of metal, and most materials can become its food! 】 【Effect 2: Overload (omitted later)】 【Effect 3: Self-regeneration (omitted later)】 【Note: Number of cores that can be equipped (3/10)】 … With just a casual glance at the effect, Xia En knew that this enhancement was definitely worth it. The [Silent Kill], which received its real name, has become a truly powerful killing weapon. It can not only launch sneak attacks silently, but also become stronger as the battle progresses. “Where are you leaving this stack of murder books?” Xia En’s expression was a little strange. However, he didn't feel much about the changes in "Xiao Zhan". After all, it just changed from being very edible to being particularly edible. “There are really more and more big households consuming food on this ship.” Xia En sighed. Not to mention the steam turbine, strengthening the ship also requires a lot of resources. Not to mention, he also has to think of ways to train his own crew. “I really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when I’m not a family member…” “When there is a chance, I still have to find the sea tribe in Coral City to get some gold coins, or make money in other ways.” Of course, this situation is better than having money and not knowing how to spend it. It can also be regarded as a happy trouble.
Finally, Shane looked at the entire panel from top to bottom. 【Name: Xia En】 【Age: 18 years old】 【Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin)】 【Secret Path Occupation: Deep Sea Favorite (Level 2)】 【Career fit: 80/100】 【Ship: Black Swan (+1)】 【Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (0%)】 【Attributes: Firepower 34, Speed 40, Solidity 41, Mystery 38】 【Personal attributes: Strength 42, Speed 54, Constitution 51, Mystery 50】 【Comprehensive quality: 】 【Durability: 150/150】 【Talents: Heart of the Ship, Necromantic Power, Majesty of the Bronze Dragon...】 【Skill: Sword of Judgment (entry)...】 Feeling the powerful power surging in his body, the corners of Xia En's mouth raised slightly. No matter how many times I have experienced it, the feeling of becoming stronger with the help of [Captain’s Majesty] is always addictive. But at the same time. Shaan also noticed some differences on the panel. “Black Swan (+1)?” “This represents the number of times of strengthening? Shouldn’t it become (+12) (+13) in the future?” However, from the current point of view, there seems to be no success rate in using [Ship Heart] to strengthen. As long as you have enough materials, you can boldly strengthen it. It is worth mentioning that. In addition to the ship attributes of [Black Swan], Shane's personal attributes also appear on the panel. I think it is because the gap between the two is widening due to various factors, so it becomes apparent. but… “The overall quality is only ” The corner of Xia En's mouth twitched: "What's this criterion?"
Logically speaking, his physical fitness at this time has far exceeded the scope of normal humans, and he is not inferior to ordinary sea monsters. Sweeping and crushing with numerical values is not just talk. However, here on the panel, his overall quality is not even 1! “What exactly is the reference of this panel?” Complaints are complaints, but the feeling of getting stronger is always real. After Xia En felt it carefully, he walked out of the cabin. Soon, the crew on the deck looked at their captain. This sight made everyone's breath stagnate slightly. As secret pathers, their perceptions are sharper than ordinary people. Hence, I noticed the changes that had taken place in Xia En. The deep coercion lingering around him had obviously increased. The profound temperament coming from the deep sea or the boundless starry sky has become increasingly prominent. Just like the transformed ship, the captain's figure has also become stronger and more majestic. Those sharp eyes fell on the skin, and there was even a slight tingling sensation. “Mr. Captain, you have become stronger...” Joy clenched his fists and encouraged himself in his heart: "I will also work hard to become stronger and help Mr. Captain!" Xiange couldn't help but shrink his head. The previous encounter still left a big psychological shadow on it. But when he thought about it, he was shocked: "No, what should I be afraid of?" “The captain and I are on the same team!” “The stronger the captain, doesn’t it mean the stronger I am?” "When the time comes, if any enemy covets my bloodline, the captain and I will kill him!" Thinking of this, Xian Ge’s mind suddenly became clear. “Hmph, you are indeed the great bronze dragon with astonishing wisdom, Xiange Maya!” "But before that, I have to hold on to the captain's thigh." On the other side, Fei Ya's eyes also flashed with a strange light. “Even if the body has not been mechanically modified, it can reach this point..." “I really want to study what’s going on with the captain’s body.” Fei Ya can indulge in the research of steam machinery, essentially because he is a scientist who loves to study and is very interested in both the human body and machinery. As for the silent An An among the crowd… "Um?"
Xia En suddenly looked at the motionless armored knight with a strange expression. “This kind of aura...has An entered the promotion ritual again?” "ah?" Other crew members were also surprised. The promotion ritual is not a big deal, how can you get in as soon as you enter? But after careful perception, they found that Xia En's judgment was not wrong. An once again fell into a mysterious and mysterious state, faintly carrying the aura of the [Secret Sea]. Xia En looked a little envious. You know, in order to advance to the second-level ritual, he suffered a lot behind the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Where can someone like An be so relaxed and free-spirited, without even needing magic medicine, to be promoted casually? “Is this the special nature of the elven race, or is it because of the characteristics of the [Knight] secret path?” Xia En thought about it casually, and then explained to the other crew members. “I got a special ancient relic that can make [Black Swan] continue to grow.” “In the future, this ship will become even bigger and more majestic!” Hearing this, everyone naturally had no doubts. There are many strange relics in this world. Although relics that can evolve a ship's hull are rare, they also appear in some legends. “And, there’s one more thing…” Xia En turned his head and looked at the misty sea. “We have stayed on this isolated island for too long, it is time to set off.” He took out the azure blue [Siren Scale], waved his hand, and said. "start sailing!" “Target, Siren Islands!” Thanks to “I miss you so much” for the 1,500-coin reward and “Xianwuxuxixi” for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! I don’t know why I’m feeling particularly tired today. Let’s take a short rest. I’m going to prepare for a few days next month to challenge my limits!
