Chapter 503 - 230: Upgrade Blocks Bullets! Master Paints Live On-Site!
(Come on, can't you seriously check who's calling? Just asking me how to cover up, how would I know how to cover up!)
...
Chen Han looked at the protective shield of the Spirit Jade Ball being easily broken and understood what was happening; it was definitely because the defense of this Level 1 Spirit Jade Ball was insufficient.
Anyone who's played games knows that with these upgrade-type magical treasures, they wouldn't give you max-level attributes from the start. If you want to upgrade, you have to spend money.
Other things the game system doesn't learn, but it learned this really well; the only difference is that the game system doesn't let him spend money but instead spends reputation points.
Chen Han retrieved the Spirit Jade Ball. The first level upgrade of this thing requires 50,000 reputation points, and he currently has more than 6.32 million reputation points, so 50,000 reputation points is just a drop in the bucket.
He directly chose to use reputation points to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball.
[You spent 50,000 reputation points to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball, Level 1 Spirit Jade Ball upgrading!]
Seeing this prompt, Chen Han immediately thought of another thing that could be upgraded, which was the Cloud Barrier Cauldron.
After the basic repair of this Cloud Barrier Cauldron, its functionality increased significantly, and the Cloud Barrier Pills refined from it could basically reach about 20 meters.
Additionally, it had a Shadowy Demons effect.
And this item could be further upgraded to an intermediate level.
Now, with plenty of reputation points, it was perfectly feasible to upgrade and refine it again.
[Cloud Barrier Cauldron: A life-saving magical treasure equipped by some disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect, possessing special functions, capable of refining Cloud Barrier Pills that can instantly produce a cloud of fog for several miles around to confuse the enemy and buy time to escape. If the Cloud Barrier Cauldron self-destructs, it can instantly produce a fog for over ten miles as cover.
Incomplete: Because this cauldron was self-destructed by Demon Cult Demons, the engraved runes are damaged, and the attributes of the refined Cloud Barrier Pills are incomplete, with the specific attributes depending on the finished product.
Restrictions: 1. Daily refining limit (Normal) 1/1 (must replenish Spiritual Qi after refining to refine again, and the consumption for basic and intermediate refining is different!). 2. Daily refining limit (Refinement) 1/1 (spend 50,000 reputation points to refine a normal Cloud Barrier Pill, enhancing the Shadowy Demons effect to confuse enemies!)
Intermediate repair: 1 million reputation points!
Cloud Barrier Pill refining materials: Demon Beast Fat, Spirit Flowers and Herbs that can produce smoke when burned!]
Chen Han directly chose to perform the intermediate repair.
The game prompt appeared:
[You spent 1 million reputation points to repair the Cloud Barrier Cauldron because it's a special magical treasure, repairing takes time, please be patient, Cloud Barrier Cauldron upgrading...]
The previous repair of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron took a considerable amount of time, and this intermediate repair requiring 1 million reputation points will definitely take even longer.
Thinking this way, the upgrade of the Spirit Jade Ball will certainly also take a lot of time, so he planned to descend the mountain and talk about it after the upgrade.
To his surprise, not long after, he received another game system prompt:
[Congratulations, the Spirit Jade Ball upgrade succeeded, now it's a Level 2 Spirit Jade Ball!]
It was indeed unexpected.
The Spirit Jade Ball upgraded so quickly.
After the upgrade, aside from the note information becoming Level 2 and being able to activate a Level 2 protective shield, there were no other changes.
It looked no different on the outside.
However, the reputation requirement for upgrading the Level 2 Spirit Jade Ball increased to 150,000.
Without hesitation, Chen Han activated the Spirit Jade Ball's defense again, let it float a certain distance, and then took out that gun and fired at the condensed protective shield once more.
This time, the protective shield was still easily pierced.
He didn't hesitate to choose to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball again.
[You spent 150,000 reputation points to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball, Level 2 Spirit Jade Ball upgrading...]
Since the previous upgrade time was very short, this time Chen Han didn't rush to leave but waited, and sure enough, not long after, he received the Spirit Jade Ball upgrade prompt, just a bit longer than when it was Level 1.
The Level 3 Spirit Jade Ball had some changes in appearance compared to the Level 2 one; the runes on the Spirit Jade Ball became much deeper, and the entire Spirit Jade Ball looked much more solid.
Similarly, upgrading the Level 3 Spirit Jade Ball now requires 300,000 reputation points.
Without hesitation, Chen Han directly activated the Level 3 Spirit Jade Ball, the protective shield condensed once more, and he raised his hand to fire.
This time, he could clearly see the scene of the bullet hitting the protective shield.
Although the bullet penetrated it, the protective shield did not shatter, and crucially, the bullet that went through obviously lost a lot of its power, slowing down significantly.
This brightened his eyes immediately.
In this case, if he upgrades one more level, the defensive capability might be enough to withstand that bullet.
He didn't hesitate to choose yet again to upgrade.
[You spent 300,000 reputation points to upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball, Level 3 Spirit Jade Ball upgrading...]
This time, Chen Han obviously waited for a long time and only received the game prompt at night:
[Congratulations, the Spirit Jade Ball upgrade succeeded, now its Level is 4!]
He immediately looked at the game warehouse's note information:
[Spirit Jade Ball (Magic): This is a special defensive magical treasure in the Swordsmen of Shushan game, which can activate a protective shield when used for defense.
Current Level: Level 4 (Upgradable)
Upgrade Requirement: 750,000 reputation points!]
With each level increase of the Spirit Jade Ball, the number of reputation points required increases significantly, and this time to upgrade again, it requires 750,000 reputation points.
He directly activated the Level 4 Spirit Jade Ball, and a protective shield condensed once more not far from him, and he raised his hand to fire again.
This time, it was evident that the bullet was blocked, and there was no bullet rebounding, as if the bullet was completely stripped of all its power, falling straight to the ground.
