Chapter 472 - 216 Scrap Upgrade and Knight Hero
Lin Rui was completely immune to Lei’s trash talk and said expressionlessly, "If you think it’s inappropriate to take a super-tier magic staff of catastrophe level from me, then just give it back."
"Bullshit! I was just saying whatever. Taking the staff back? Don’t even think about it!" Lei immediately hugged the staff to her chest, even wrapping her legs around it, burying the staff in a deep, white embrace.
So sometimes being a staff isn’t so bad.
This scene wasn’t suitable for prolonged viewing. Lin Rui glanced at it and then refocused his attention on the special building plan.
[Special Building Plan: Waste Reinforcement Workshop of the Great Skill Dominator (Cannot be enhanced: What would a Divine Spirit know about dominator technology?): In the largest green-skin workshop, the Great Skill Dominators would stuff it full of waste materials, tools, and things they snatched from other races and some ’borrowed’ semi-finished products (never to be returned, of course). In the not-so-advanced Beastman society, the Great Skill Dominators can be responsible for building rickety steampunk machinery, even creating cool stuff like steam-iron giants. These green skins have an innate technical knowledge, and their duty is to concoct all sorts of fancy gadgets. Most of what they create is unreliable, but waste transformation is undoubtedly their most successful craft. They’ll hammer and weld large bulk of scrap until these things resemble some usable gadgets in appearance. But, you understand, resemblance means absolutely different, so the effects of various wastes can be completely multiplied multiple times. Providing them with enough waste can give a squad of soldiers various cool upgrades.]
[Heavy Power Armor Replica: Consumes 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 gems, and 10,000 units of waste, boosting Physical Defense by 300/700/1500/4000 points (corresponding to waste level ordinary/enhanced/fine/rare and above)]
[Force Field Simulation Weapon: Consumes 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 gems, and 10,000 units of waste, boosting Physical Attack Power by 300/700/1500/4000 points (corresponding to waste level ordinary/enhanced/fine/rare and above)]
[Imitation Spiritual Shield: Consumes 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 gems, and 10,000 units of waste, providing soldiers with a Spiritual Shield of 1000/2500/5000/15000 points, which recovers slowly after combat (corresponding to waste level ordinary/enhanced/fine/rare and above)]
[Construction Conditions: Requires a green skin building in the territory, consumes 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 200,000 wood, 200,000 ore, and 200,000 waste, requires 50 workers and 12 hours (Note: After successful construction, territory attraction to green skins +50%, with a random theft incident occurring daily. If the theft incident is solved, the next waste reinforcement consumption increases by 50%)]
Lin Rui clicked his tongue, there’s the cheerful style of the green skins. Green skins are a clear stream in this dark world, where every race struggles to survive, only green skins live for their hobbies—waging war and stealing from the core of their genes.
Even when caught stealing, the resource cost for the next waste reinforcement still increases by 50%! They’re incorrigible and retaliate against society.
Lin Rui immediately said to Audrey, "Call Silver Moon out and give this special building plan to Caroline, let her build it next to the Ogre Camp immediately."
This building, like the Ogre Kingdom captive camp, doesn’t fully belong to the territory, at least the operators inside don’t belong to the territory; the territory needs to trade resources with them.
But the effect is very powerful; these three reinforcement upgrades cannot only coexist but can also be stacked infinitely.
That means, theoretically, if the territory can continuously provide a squadron with 10,000 units of Spirit Crystal Coins, gems, and waste of rare level or above, it can keep upgrading the soldiers of this squadron crazily.
At that time, you’ll see the system panel constantly prompting: [Physical Defense +4000]
[Physical Defense +4000]
[Physical Defense +4000]
[Physical Defense +4000]
...
Of course, it’s just a thought, you need rare level or above waste to have this effect!
But until now, the territory hasn’t even blasted, made, or harvested more than ten thousand items of rare level or above equipment; most territories haven’t even seen what rare level looks like.
More crucially, even these crafted equipment aren’t scrap, and the scrapped rare level equipment might not even reach a fraction of ten thousand.
Lin Rui himself couldn’t estimate when he would accumulate ten thousand pieces of rare waste to enhance once.
So, quality is one thing, but without quantity, it’s meaningless.
In most cases, quantity itself is a form of quality.
To enhance soldiers, you still have to rely on ordinary, enhanced, and fine-level equipment waste.
Although each enhancement effect is only a fraction of the rare level effect, it works! And it can be used indefinitely.
Enhancing fine-level waste ten times can improve Physical Defense by 15,000 points, even ordinary waste can improve Physical Defense by 3,000 points if enhanced ten times.
But the cost is a bit high, and the great skill dominator inside doesn’t care if you invested ordinary waste or rare waste, the processing price isn’t negotiable, 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 10,000 gems, and if caught stealing, with a bad mood, the consumption increases by 50%.
If you enhance ordinary waste ten times, even with Lin Rui’s vast wealth, it leaves a sting in the chest.
The cost of 100,000 Spirit Crystal Coins and 100,000 gems only improves Physical Defense by 3,000 points, which is quite a loss.
