Chapter 489: Chapter 488 Dark Purple Quality [Dragon Power Bracelet+5]

Certainly, if Qin Island City solely consisted of its urban area, the size wouldn’t be large. The primary reason for its vast scale is that the districts under its jurisdiction are quite substantial, often exceeding thousands of square kilometers. For instance, just the Huangdao District alone is as large as Japan, Tokyo, covering 2,100 square kilometers.

That is to say, although Zhang Yanhang can produce a fairly large quantity of thermo-baric bombs, he’s probably still a long way from being a ’city-level’ power.

Okay, perhaps comparing Qin Island City, with its population surpassing twenty million, to a city-level power isn’t quite appropriate. After all, cities of such magnitude are extremely rare within the Empire, let alone the entire world.

More common are the ordinary large cities with populations only in the millions. For those cities, Zhang Yanhang could now destroy them without much difficulty.

After briefly inventorying the artifacts he had collected, Zhang Yanhang immediately began inventorying the equipment he had obtained, starting with the most numerous item: the Dragon Power Bracelets. Because Zhang Yanhang had taken down nearly seven hundred Goblin Spear Throwers, he collected a total of thirty-seven pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets.

Currently, Zhang Yanhang had four pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4 left in his hands, as well as one pair of Dragon Power Bracelets +3, one pair +2, one pair +1, and one pair of ordinary Dragon Power Bracelets—totaling 79 pairs.

And since Zhang Yanhang was also wearing a pair of Dragon Power Bracelets +4, taking those into account brought the total to 95 pairs. However, to create a fusion for Dark Purple Quality Dragon Power Bracelets +5, he needed a total of 128 pairs.

So he was short by thirty-three pairs, but he just received thirty-seven pairs, filling the gap and even providing an excess of four pairs.

"I didn’t expect to gather them so quickly. I thought maybe I’d have to clear out the Middle Layer as well to collect enough Dragon Power Bracelets to fuse into Dark Purple Quality Dragon Power Bracelets +5...

But on second thought, it makes sense. The Goblin Spear Throwers on the Goblin Plain are almost entirely wiped out by me, with barely two or three hundred remaining. It really would be odd if I couldn’t gather enough by now."

After completing the inventory, Zhang Yanhang immediately removed the Dragon Power Bracelets +4 from his wrists, placed them along with the others from his Waist Bag into the Alchemy Array, and immediately began the Alchemy process to start the fusion.

After several rounds of fusion, Zhang Yanhang swiftly obtained the remaining three pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4 and began merging them with the other five pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4 to start the forced fusion of Dragon Power Bracelets +5.

Perhaps due to the experience he already had, after patiently operating the Bracelets to fuse for about twenty minutes, Zhang Yanhang successfully completed the fusion without mishap, with an improvement in speed compared to last time.

Zhang Yanhang remembered that when he last fused Crimson Iron, it seemed to have taken him half an hour. This time, he finished the entire fusion process ten minutes earlier.

Okay, perhaps twenty minutes was still a bit slow, but that couldn’t be helped; after all, it was a breakthrough of limits. If it had been quicker, it would have been rather abnormal.

Looking at the freshly produced, yet identical in appearance to its pre-fusion state, Dark Purple Quality Dragon Power Bracelet +5, Zhang Yanhang immediately began examining its attribute list.

[Dragon Power Bracelet +5]

[Quality: Dark Purple]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Goblin Plain, Outer Zone, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 60/60]

[Defensive Power: 40]

[Additional Attributes: Attack Speed +14% (+3%).]

[Usage Requirements: Agility 45 points.]

[Score: 203 (Dark Purple Items score between 151 and 260.)]

[Introduction: As his business grew bigger and bigger, Red Dragon Salcano began to feel that solely selling Dragon Blood, albeit highly profitable, was too single-faceted an income stream and needed supply-side reforms. Fortunately, he had recently captured a Bishop who could summon Angels for Enlightenments, which he thought could be a new venture...]

"Goodness, after the Dragon Power Bracelet was upgraded to Dark Purple Quality, the usage requirements went up by another ten points, jumping from the original thirty-five points straight to forty-five points. If it increased by just another five points in Agility, it would reach the upper limit for Agility for Second Tier.

And if it increased by just one more point in Attribute value, with an additional six points in Agility, my fifty points in Agility attribute value wouldn’t even be enough to wear this Dragon Power Bracelet+5."

After focusing on the usage requirements of the Dragon Power Bracelet for a while, Zhang Yanhang shifted his attention to the most important additional attribute.

"This time, as the Dragon Power Bracelet broke through the limit from Purple Quality to Dark Purple Quality, the Attack Speed Bonus in the additional attributes went straight up from the original 11% to 14%, which is an increase of 3% in Attack Speed Bonus."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that on average, each Fusion used to only increase the Attack Speed Bonus by about 1.5%, but this time it seemed to be double that, which was a bit abnormal.

"But considering it was a breakthrough of the limits, maybe it’s normal for it to be a bit exceptional. After all, I did fuse eight pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4.

Normally, eight pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4 would be enough for another three fusions, which could raise the Dragon Power Bracelet to +7, and if we follow the average increase of 1.5% Attack Speed Bonus per upgrade, that would be an additional 4.5% Attack Speed Bonus.

But now, only an increase of 3% was achieved, which is almost like half of the Dragon Power Bracelets +4, in other words, four pairs of Dragon Power Bracelets +4 were consumed in this breakthrough process."

This kind of consumption was normal, and Zhang Yanhang didn’t have much to comment on. Of course, even if he did, there wouldn’t be much to say as his practical experience was still very limited. He had only broken through the limits twice in total, and would need more experience to draw conclusions. For now, it was just an early exploratory stage.

"Moreover, apart from the significant increase in Attack Speed Bonus in the Additional Attributes, the score of the Dragon Power Bracelet also saw a substantial increase, directly jumping from the original 148 points to the current 203 points.

That’s a direct boost of 55 points in Score, taking it from a Purple Quality piece of Equipment with a score near the maximum to a Dark Purple Quality piece with a Medium Score.

I remember that each Fusion of the Dragon Power Bracelet would only increase the score by about 22 points, so this time, the increase was almost 2.5 times the original score.

Double the Attack Speed Bonus and 2.5 times the Score; looking at it this way, the returns from breaking through the limits unexpectedly offer quite a high cost-effectiveness."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the first time he underwent a Fusion, the score of the resulting Refined Crimson Iron Short Sword was just barely passing, but this time, for some reason, it turned out to be of a Medium score level.
