"The combat power boost from the equipment is indeed quite substantial. You should know that the current combat power index of Contract Adventurer is only 900 points, yet 5 pieces of equipment increased it by 850 points."
"There are still 6 pieces of equipment not yet equipped. If they are all of this quality, they could probably increase combat power by another eight or nine hundred points."
The later it gets,
the higher the proportion of combat power bonuses from equipment becomes.
The cost of cultivation also increases.
Crafting the Flowing Light Set and the Fiery Python Set requires a huge amount of materials, most of which Chen Yu doesn't have and can only buy from the system's black market.
Crafting an entire set cost him nearly 3000 soul crystals.
"So expensive!"
Chen Yu couldn't help but complain.
This crafting price definitely far exceeded the equipment's inherent value.
But there was no other way...
Rare-grade equipment shouldn't appear in a beginner's area. Most of the War Lord's subordinates use common-grade equipment.
If Li Siya hadn't found a fine iron ore in the Level 7 Secret Realm, she wouldn't even have dared to imagine crafting excellent-grade equipment.
Chen Yu planned to craft everything to its peak at once, so he was certainly going to bleed a little.
"Next is the choice of gun and katana..."
"For the revolver, there's no doubt it's King of Hunt. Flowing Light + Hunt is the standard for Rangers, enhancing Quick Draw, increasing critical hit rate, and having a chance to bind enemies on attack."
"And then the katana..."
Chen Yu didn't hesitate much. When he thought of a purple katana, the first thing that came to his mind was Dance of Fine Snow, which not only looks good but also comes with ice-attribute attacks and has a chance to freeze enemies on attack.
For the bracelet, he chose the Ink Bamboo Bracelet, which increases jumping ability.
The ring he used was the Sage's Ring, which increases survivability and casting speed.
There were also some other accessories and auxiliary equipment for which there were no suitable choices at the moment, so Chen Yu prioritized using equipment that increased the maximum magic value.
The accessory parts were all generic, so the consumption would be relatively low.
But even so, crafting this entire set cost him several thousand soul crystals. If it weren't for his current wealth, he wouldn't be able to withstand such consumption.
Chen Yu first got a set for Li Ruoshu, and it felt pretty good. Her combat power increased by about 1500, which is a very high combat power bonus. A Two-Winged Angel in a naked state is only about 1600 points.
As for weapons.
Although two weapons can be carried simultaneously, only one's combat power index takes effect. That is, if a revolver is currently being used, then the revolver's combat power is calculated.
If a katana is used, then the katana's combat power is calculated.
Furthermore.
The reason for getting a revolver was simply for daily use, to avoid needing the help of other Adventurers for every little thing.
In fact...
The status of Gun Cards and Tinder Cards remains unshaken.
The equipment in the equipment slot adds to the Adventurer's basic attributes, while Gun Cards provide independent damage.
No matter how high Li Ruoshu's combat power is now, her attack values are only around three or four hundred, which is still a far cry compared to Gun Cards that fully apply their combat power index to attack attributes.
After all, an excellent-grade Gun Card has a pure attack index of 600 points.
The matter of equipment is temporarily concluded. Chen Yu plans to work on it slowly.
No rush for now.
Chen Yu used all his remaining soul crystals to build Dungeons in the Goblin Kingdom.
The Goblin Kingdom can build a total of 30 Dungeons. According to the original plan, Chen Yu used all of them for Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors.
Currently, his castle level is 8.
After this wave of construction, the Dungeon population has greatly improved.
Happy Chess and Cards 1-10 lines, population 1600.
Resident Evil 1-15 lines, population 2400.
Steel Fortress 1-10 lines, population 1600.
Liar Tavern 1-6 lines, population 960.
Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors 1-43 lines, population 6880.
Audition Online 1 line, population 160.
Battle Royale 1-10 lines, population 1600.
After this upgrade, it can be said that in terms of population... it has completely exceeded the number of active Adventurers currently in Tide Town.
A total of 95 Dungeons.
The overall population cap reached 15,200 people.
Even deducting 960 from Liar Tavern and 1600 from Battle Royale, there are still 12,640 remaining.
Where would Tide Town get over 12,000 people? Perhaps Tide Town was once an excellent town, with a population of over 20,000 or even more.
But ever since it was downgraded to an emerging town, people moved out, changed their household registrations, some went to White Night City, some went to other excellent towns, or even further away.
Now, only 8,000 to 10,000 people remain, and this number is gradually failing to satisfy Lord Chen's insatiable desires.
Previously, the Dungeon population cap was limited, and some areas had to be restricted.
Now...
The territory has developed to this point, and some restrictions should be lifted.
For example, the restriction in Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors that kicks people out after 5 minutes of AFK is now lifted. They can AFK however they want, even live in the Dungeon.
Another example is the restriction in Resident Evil where the Tyrant chases the old sixes, which was also removed.
Anyway, at midnight, it's a nuclear bomb reset.
It's impressive if they can play for a whole day.
However, Happy Chess and Cards has added a table fee. 10% of the happy coins won in a game must be paid as the table fee for that game.
Chen Yu wants them to focus more on combat-type Dungeons, so that more cards can be dropped.
Therefore, he had to implement micro-adjustments by reducing income.
After this population increase, Tide Town is basically completely in Chen Yu's hands. Other Dungeon Lords will truly only be able to barely get by, relying on crying poor to gain the Adventurers' generosity.
They will rely on the two or three soul crystals Adventurers bestow upon them daily to maintain their protective shield, and only then can they survive and return to Lord World when the next Dark Tide arrives.
As for the future...
They can talk about it after they return.
