Chapter 436: Chapter 435 [Dragon Power Bracelet]

So although Zhang Yanhang did pick up some weapons left by the Dragon Vein Goblins to try to recycle waste, what he needed were higher-tier weapons from Dragon Vein Goblins, like those of the Second Tier whose weapons should be able to reach Blue quality.

"Here comes the last option, I hope it will reveal Equipment or Artifacts related to Movement Speed or Attack Speed," Zhang Yanhang said with a worried heart as he clicked on the last option.

[Item Five]

[Option One: Dragon Power Bracelet, Quality: Blue, Equipment]

[Option Two: Goblin Bracelet, Quality: Green, Equipment]

[Option Three: Leather Bracelet, Quality: White, Equipment]

"I can’t believe a piece of Blue-quality Equipment actually appeared, but the name gives me a bad feeling. Could it be a Bracelet that adds Strength?"

When Zhang Yanhang first saw the name ’Dragon Power Bracelet,’ he felt pretty certain that it was not likely to be related to the Movement Speed or Attack Speed boosts he wanted.

Yet, still not giving up hope, he clicked to view the attributes list of the Dragon Power Bracelet. After all, despite the name suggesting a Strength-boosting item, there was still a very small chance it might enhance Movement Speed.

[Summary: As his business continued to expand, the Red Dragon Salcano started feeling that selling Dragon Blood alone, albeit highly profitable, was too singular a revenue stream and in need of supply side reform. Fortuitously having captured a Bishop capable of summoning Angels for Enlightenment, he thought this could be an area worth exploring.

Upon proposing this idea to his underling Alchemists, Salcano received a positive response. Although his forte was creating potions, manufacturing other items, especially those that Angels could easily bless, was no trouble at all; his foundational skills in this area were quite solid.

Red Dragon Salcano was very happy, so he entrusted the matter entirely to the Alchemist, instructing him to communicate with the Bishop and to craft not only useful but also valuable Alchemy Tools or related Alchemy Equipment, which could then be further enhanced by summoning Angels for enlightenment.

The Alchemist, who had once actively offered to help Red Dragon Salcano sell its blood for money, did not disappoint. In just a few days, he used the worn scales and keratin layer (Dragon Skin) shed by Red Dragon Salcano, who had been sleeping on a pile of Gold Coins, to craft a pair of Dragon Power Bracelets.

After seeing the final product and the specific costs, Red Dragon Salcano felt that he had once again found a new business that was profitable without any capital—it was extremely suitable for him to be able to produce such equipment with just some old shed skin and broken scales.

"This Alchemist is definitely a bit odd," he thought. "It’s clearly a Bracelet that increases Attack Speed, so why insist on calling it a Dragon Power Bracelet? Is it just because it was crafted from the scales and skin of a giant dragon?"

However, despite saying that, Zhang Yanhang actually envied the Alchemist mentioned in the introduction. As a genuine Alchemist, the man was indeed different from a half-baked one like himself.

Apart from being able to craft Dark Purple Quality Dragon Blood Medicine and Light Gold Quality Essence Blood Medicine, he was also very skillful at crafting equipment. How could Zhang Yanhang not be envious?

Zhang Yanhang felt the Alchemist’s Skill in Alchemy must have been learned step by step, solidifying the fundamentals to the point where he could craft anything.

But Zhang Yanhang was different. His Alchemy relied entirely on the knowledge that came with his Skill, and it was not very skillful at that; he was always most proficient in those few capabilities specifically marked in the additional attributes of his Alchemy Skill.

As for the other knowledge that came with his Alchemy Skill, although it was comprehensive, ranging from the basic crafting of Puppets to high-end Soul Reshaping, due to a complete lack of practical opportunities, Zhang Yanhang could not genuinely apply this knowledge.

After all, as everyone knows, seeing and understanding with the eyes and brain are not the same as actually practicing hands-on—it was very likely to end up a mess.

If you asked Zhang Yanhang to find a secluded place to practice diligently for a year or so, then his fundamentals would certainly become very solid, but unfortunately, he did not have the luxury of time.

What Zhang Yanhang lacked the most now was time. With half a year’s time, he might have already been promoted to Fifth Tier. It would be crazy for him at this point to give up on enhancing his strength to practice Alchemy instead.

Therefore, the most reliable method for Zhang Yanhang to continue improving his Alchemy Skill was not to seclude himself in the mountains but to continue raising the Level of his Alchemy Skill. In time, after leveling up, Alchemy would correspondingly grant him techniques that matched his Level.

Since the last time his Alchemy Skill leveled up was after a Rank promotion, Zhang Yanhang guessed that he would have to wait until he was promoted to Third Tier before he had a chance to improve his Alchemy Skill level again.

"I had almost given up on getting equipment related to Movement Speed and Attack Speed when I first saw the name Dragon Power Bracelet, but in an unexpected turn, the Bracelet’s Additional Attributes actually provided a 5% increase in Attack Speed.

Although it wasn’t the Movement Speed I wanted most, it was still pretty good. Combined with the 15% Attack Speed Bonus from the achievements gained from the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, I can now enjoy a total of 20% Attack Speed Bonus.

At that time, the fire rate of the Six Roots Pure Soul Crossing Spear would increase from a hundred rounds per second to a hundred and twenty, requiring only about 4.2 seconds to empty a magazine.

Also, the bullet’s flight speed would increase from the initial state of Mach 3 to Mach 3.6; I’m still 2.4 Mach away from the small goal of 6 Mach that I had previously set. Although still a long way off, as long as I keep working hard, achieving this small goal shouldn’t be too difficult."

Zhang Yanhang wasn’t in a hurry to reach this small goal of 6 Mach. He felt it would be fine as long as he could achieve it before being promoted to Fourth Tier. After all, although Mach 3 might still be quite effective against Third Tier monsters, it might not be sufficient against Fourth Tier monsters.
