I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Uneasy External Divine Artifact

Gongshu De is one of the Dark Rising Seven Heroes, a top-tier Upper-Rank God, yet he still has his own vanity.

Being stared at by Lin Yi like this, he felt elated beyond measure.

"Hey, kid, don’t just daze around. Isn’t it merely +99? If you manage to learn the techniques from this old man, you might break through the boundary that I’ve pursued my whole life and enhance equipment to +100."

"I’ve never heard of anyone who could achieve this step. The books passed down have no records of equipment +100. I don’t know the difference between +99 and that never-seen-before +100 equipment, but I can vaguely feel that equipment at +100 is just one level different from +99, yet their attributes must be worlds apart."

Mr. Gongsu’s words were spoken very calmly, but how could they sound so exhilarating?

In terms of equipment enhancement expertise, Lin Yi surpassing Gongshu De seems somewhat unlikely.

After all, given Lin Yi’s current limits, he still has a long way to go.

But everyone present knew that Lin Yi was just a twenty-year-old teenager!

With his current Divine Power Level, he has at least thousands of years to do as he wishes, and with his understanding of Creation and Immortal Law, extending his life to over ten thousand years is effortless.

Having this much time along with his exceptional talent, as long as Mr. Gongsu imparts everything, mastering enhancement up to +99 isn’t just feasible, but even enhancing equipment to +100 would be a certainty.

Silence, within the Divine Refining Bureau, only the sound of flames burning was heard, everything else was quiet.

Mr. Gongsu spoke little, and his tone was calm, yet it was exceptionally shocking.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t stay calm.

"What are you standing there for, kid? Quickly bring out the equipment you need to enhance. Right now, materials are limited, I can’t teach you my equipment enhancement skills."

"However, observing is nothing but beneficial to all of you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s Sea of Divine Consciousness began to boil.

Great Saint and Wo Zhiqi were debating which of the two External Divine Artifacts to enhance first.

Wo Zhiqi, being powerful, didn’t plan on retrieving the equipment after enhancing it to +99. Even without weapons, he himself was an Unbreakable Divine Artifact.

Yet one thing worried him greatly—his Lifebound Divine Artifact might encounter problems during enhancement.

The Divine River Song, this Divine Artifact also had a physical existence, its entity being a bead, which was not large in size. When inside Lin Yi’s body, Wo Zhiqi had clearly seen the equipment enhancement process.

That involved heating to high temperatures to soften the equipment, then seizing the opportunity to strike gaps on the equipment’s surface, and subsequently engraving arrays containing Source Power as an enhancement method.

The Divine River Song’s entity is very similar to a glass ball. Although the material’s sturdiness is incomparable to glass balls, engraving arrays on spherical equipment is really not a simple task.

A spherical object has exaggerated compression capability when very regular; once its regular shape is broken, the stress distribution changes significantly, and its toughness becomes indescribable.

Mr. Gongsu didn’t seem to be boasting, yet Wo Zhiqi still had some apprehensions about his skills.

The main concern is that the Divine River Song, being an External Divine Artifact, has its own consciousness.

Strengthening it now feels like stripping someone of their skin and muscles to stuff something inside their body—it’s no different.

Such pain must be unimaginable, even if it’s just a weapon.

"Without refinement, jade cannot become a tool. Surely you want to see your Lifebound Divine Artifact reach new heights, don’t you? You understand this reasoning."

Great Saint was persuading.

"You dead monkey speak so lightly. Would you agree to be refined if possible? You only know how to make snide remarks. Surely that old man’s skills are good, and I don’t doubt it one bit, but the old man hasn’t enhanced equipment shaped like the Divine River Song. Forget it, perhaps it’s better to enhance the Fu Xi Talisman instead."

In the Sea of Divine Consciousness, the Divine River Song was moved to tears.

The Divine River Song knew very well what it would feel like to have 99 cracks opened on itself—it wasn’t an experience it wanted to attempt.

Enhancing equipment from +1 to +99 requires exaggerated amounts of time.

In any case, the Divine River Song wasn’t eager to relive it.

"Hey, you think I’m so easy to enhance? Why don’t you look at my actual size? It’s not that I don’t trust him, but is the old man’s eyesight still good at his age? He plans to engrave arrays on my thin body—this isn’t joking around. Think carefully, is enhancing the Divine River Song possibly more feasible than me?"

The Fu Xi Talisman also spoke out in Lin Yi’s Sea of Divine Consciousness, causing everyone to feel it made sense. Indeed, the shape complexity of the Divine River Song might render its enhancement more difficult than the Divine River Song itself.

When it came time to make decisions, Lin Yi was decisive.

Enhancing an equipment to +99 not only raises basic attributes, but also activates the extraordinary add-on attributes of an External Divine Artifact. Lin Yi was not willing to miss such a good opportunity.

Mr. Gongsu wasn’t stingy, but hesitating might make him feel Lin Yi doesn’t trust him, which is undesirable.

Thus, Lin Yi decisively took out the Divine River Song.

It was a grey sphere imbued with a liquid sheen.

Once Lin Yi brought it out, Gongshu De visibly hesitated.

This hesitation wasn’t just due to witnessing the Divine River Song’s entity for the first time.

"No way, kid, are you purposely putting me in a tough spot?"

Gongshu De, while marveling at the wonders of External Divine Artifacts, couldn’t help but feel nervous.

The enhancement difficulty for spherical-shaped Divine Artifacts is considerably greater than for typical ones.

It’s not that he lacks confidence in his competence, but after years without enhancing equipment, suddenly facing such an exaggeratedly difficult task raises the risk of embarrassing failure.

Remember, the rare properties of External Divine Artifacts are incredibly exaggerated, and failing could ruin Lin Yi’s External Divine Artifact beyond just losing face.

Such rare items certainly aren’t to be trifled with.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi queried.

Could Mr. Gongsu lack confidence in enhancing this equipment?

If so, there’s no need to force it.

"Don’t worry, I’m confident in my abilities even though I haven’t used enhancement skills for many years. Over thousands of years, when closing my eyes, I repeatedly revisit this skill, never forgetting the minute details needed during enhancement."

"Moreover, I’ve bragged in front of so many brothers at the Divine Refining Bureau. I can’t very well smack myself in the face."
