Chapter 176: New Player Yu Zhu, Connected!

Hearing Ji Ruoxu’s words, Yu Zhun’s eyes lit up. After everything became clear under the other party’s analysis, many of the issues he was previously worried about were perfectly resolved.

"However, this way, your talent still can’t be hidden," Ji Ruoxu shook his head helplessly. "Although it won’t reach the extent where the whole world knows, it can’t be kept a secret in the circle of First Turn Divine Revelation players."

"I’m already mentally prepared," Yu Zhun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

How should it be put? If it were any other player with an SSS-rank talent, they might have found it very troublesome. But for Yu Zhun, it was actually fine. After all, his talent was inherently [Open and Aboveboard]. The current level of exposure wasn’t enough to give him a headache.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now," Ji Ruoxu said with a smile as he stood up. "I heard you plan to clear [Celestial Nether Lone Star]. I’ll have Yu bring you some information tomorrow."

"Thank you for your care, Elder Ji," Yu Zhun revealed a look of gratitude. A moment later, he spoke up with some embarrassment, "Um, Elder Ji... I heard you’re a max-level Enhancer in your Life Profession?"

The wealthy lady had mentioned this before. After all, all her Equipment had been Enhanced by Ji Ruoxu.

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxu understood. "You want me to help you Enhance your Legendary Equipment?"

"Yes," Yu Zhun nodded heavily.

The success rate for Enhancing Legendary Equipment beyond +20 was too low, and the Celestial Grace Three Divine Talismans were too expensive. If he could have a Level 50 Enhancer do it, it would be much more cost-effective than doing it himself. Since there was one right in front of him, Yu Zhun decided to ask.

"I could, but I personally suggest you Enhance them yourself," Ji Ruoxu smiled and shook his head. "You think the Celestial Grace Three Divine Talismans are too expensive and feel reluctant to part with your [Divine Demon Medals], right?

"But what if I told you that using one set of Celestial Grace Three Divine Talismans for Enhancement yields one million Life Profession experience points?"

"How much?!" Yu Zhun’s eyes widened in astonishment. One set yielded one million?! A set of ordinary Three Divine Talismans only gave ten thousand Enhancement experience points!

"The experience required for a Life Profession to reach Level 50 is comparable to what a combat Profession needs to reach Level 60—it’s an astronomical figure," Ji Ruoxu smiled faintly. "Normally, using the Three Divine Talismans to Enhance would take a very long time to have a chance of reaching that level.

"Although the Celestial Grace Three Divine Talismans are expensive at two Medals per set, a huge part of their value lies in accelerating an Enhancer’s leveling speed."

"Then I won’t bother you, Elder Ji. I’ll do it myself," Yu Zhun replied decisively.

Being able to speed up leveling made the extra cost of Enhancement seem worthwhile. After all, once his Enhancer level increased, he could also help other guild members Enhance their Equipment.

Ji Ruoxu nodded slightly, turned around, and walked out of the conference room. Pushing the door open, he saw Ji Xiaoyu trying to eavesdrop outside.

"Grandpa, are you done talking?" Caught in the act, Ji Xiaoyu blushed slightly and awkwardly averted her gaze.

Ji Ruoxu chuckled in amusement. "Don’t worry, we were just chatting.

"You haven’t been home for three days; remember to come back for dinner tonight."

With that, his figure disappeared down the hallway.

"Oh," Ji Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue. As she turned around, she saw Yu Zhun stepping out of the conference room right after.

Before Yu Zhun could speak, Ji Xiaoyu hastily threw out, "I’m logging off," and disappeared from the spot.

Yu Zhun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "I was planning to chat with the wealthy lady... Oh well, I’ll just get my Equipment Enhanced first."

After digging through the guild’s Equipment warehouse to find a set of unenhanced Red Equipment, Yu Zhun headed straight for the top-tier Enhancement Room in the Divine Revelation Hall. Now that Yu Zhun’s Nether Five-piece Set had become a Nether Six-piece Set, he had more Equipment to Enhance.

Yu Zhun first transferred the Enhancement levels of his Armor, accessories, helmet, and boots onto the unenhanced Red Equipment. Then, he brought out Mith’s set of +25 Legendary Equipment and completed the Enhancement level transfer to the corresponding gear. He transferred the weapon’s Enhancement level onto the newly acquired [Nether Instantaneous Radiance Demon Blade], so the Enhancement level of the [Nether Mourning Demon Blade] could be preserved.

After all this, aside from the [Nether Mourning Demon Blade] which remained at +20, the other five pieces of Legendary Equipment in the Nether Six-piece Set had all reached an Enhancement level of +24.

He thought, "Thank you, Mith. May good people have a peaceful life—except when they run into me."

Silently appreciating the wave of benefits sent by his old buddy Mith, Yu Zhun selected the [Nether Mourning Demon Blade] as his Enhancement target.

The [Celestial Grace Lucky Talisman] boosted his Luck by a staggering 1,500 points. The [Celestial Grace Level-retaining Talisman] and the [Celestial Grace Divine Protection Talisman] each provided an extra 500 Luck, on top of retaining their original protective effects. Just one set of talismans provided Yu Zhun with a massive 2,500 Luck. Coupled with his own 452 Luck and the 40% Luck bonus from the top-tier Enhancement Room, the originally abysmal success rate was forcibly dragged up to 7.62%.

Yu Zhun didn’t hesitate to select [Start Enhancement]. He wondered how far one hundred sets of talismans could take him.

At the Teleportation Gate to the Level 80 Dungeon [Divine Prohibition Ruins].

Ji Ruoxu walked over slowly. In front of the Teleportation Gate, the other Strongest had already arrived.

"How is it?" Asoka couldn’t help but look at Ji Ruoxu.

Among the Strongest, due to his Profession, he cared more about Yu Zhun’s situation than the others. If Yu Zhun were to suffer a blow and be affected by this incident, falling into a slump from which he could never recover, it would definitely not be a good thing. The Blue Star didn’t need an SSS-rank player who had strength and talent but lacked drive. It needed a Strongest who forged ahead with determination and acted decisively.

This was the most important reason why Yu Zhun’s performance all this time had satisfied the group of Strongest.
