Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 878 The Powerful Moon Goddess Staff: Mass Enhancement of Legendary Equipment!

Because everyone has been so busy lately, they haven't been in touch much.

Clearly, the queen was a little upset.

"Tell me, what is it that warrants this Northern Overlord's personal trip?"

Cao Xing straightened his posture and then explained his purpose to her.

Queen Youlan paused slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes: "I never expected... that the Moon Goddess Orb, which was once shattered by the Blood Legion, would actually be collected by you."

"If that's the case, then it means that this staff is destined for you."

As she finished speaking, she gently raised her fair arm, and a crystal-clear staff wrapped with moonlight patterns appeared out of thin air in her palm.

It is the legendary weapon of the Orchid Kingdom: the Moon Goddess Staff!
Upon seeing the staff, Cao Xing's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

He sensed an extremely powerful force within it.

However, the groove at the top of the staff is empty, which is exactly where the [Moon Goddess Orb] should be.

Queen Youlan spoke softly: "Now, it belongs to you."

As she finished speaking, she casually tossed her staff into the air, where it traced a graceful silver arc.

Cao Xing took it instinctively.

[Obtained: Moon Goddess Staff (Fragmented)]

...

Looking at the staff in his hand, which shimmered with a faint moonlight, Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy once again.

He carefully put it into his backpack and then said, "Thanks, Shia."

Queen Youlan smiled slightly, "You're welcome. The benefits you brought us by handing over the territory of the North Wind Alliance this time are beyond our imagination."

"As long as we digest this slowly, the military strength and foundation of the Youlan Kingdom will be greatly enhanced."

"I haven't thanked you yet."

When the topic came up, Cao Xing asked, "How is the takeover of the six kingdoms of the North Wind Alliance going?"

Queen Youlan nodded gently: "The progress is not bad. With the cooperation of those three guys, the royal family of the North Wind Alliance has been basically wiped out."

“Our people have replaced the people in important towns and fortresses, including the major cities, without affecting the normal lives of the civilians.”

"We are currently taking stock of the assets of the six kingdoms, as well as their national treasuries."

"It will probably take another half a month to complete the full takeover."

At this point, she added, "By the way, we've almost finished collecting all the materials you asked us to gather earlier."

"I'll give it to you all at once later."

Cao Xing nodded slightly. "I understand."

Then, he said apologetically, "Sia, I have some things to do tonight and can't get away."

"I'll come find you again when I have time later."

Queen Youlan chuckled and waved her hand, "I know, you're the person in charge of the entire Northern Territory now, much busier than me."

"Go, go, go~"

Cao Xing did not leave immediately, but looked at the beautiful Queen Youlan in front of him, a complicated expression flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" She tilted her head slightly, her icy blue eyes asking.

After a moment of silence, Cao Xing suddenly stepped forward and embraced the queen.

"Well……"

Queen Youlan's pupils contracted slightly, seemingly not expecting him to make such a sudden move.

But in that firm, warm embrace, her body had unconsciously relaxed.

And she reached out and gently embraced Cao Xing.

At that moment, the two embraced.

Her tall figure, visible through the thin gauze dress, exuded graceful curves and a soft, warm feel.

After a tender moment, Cao Xing released the woman from his arms.

Then, he kissed her lips again, catching a faint scent of tequila.

"Then I'll be going now, Shia." His voice was deep and gentle.

Queen Youlan gave a soft "hmm," her eyes gleaming.

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched Cao Xing's sleeve, then slowly released it.

Then, Cao Xing's figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot at lightning speed.

It wasn't until a few seconds after he left that the queen came to her senses.

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously touching the lips that had just been kissed, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"brat……"

Moonlight streamed through the crystal window, casting dappled light on her long hair and making her stunningly beautiful face appear even more ethereal.

...

...

"Om..."

Within the territory's teleportation array, a familiar beam of light rose up.

A tall, slender figure appeared and disappeared.

You have returned: The Stormy Snowfield

...

After the prompt ended, Cao Xing opened his eyes and saw the familiar scene around him.

The howling wind swirled fine snowflakes, and the magical shield above their heads shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

Cao Xing said in a low voice, "This time, getting the Moon Goddess Staff went very smoothly."

"Next, we need to fuse those 12 fragments and then place them directly onto the Moon Goddess Staff to restore the true power of this legendary staff!"

With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath and took all the fragments out of his backpack.

Twelve fragments emitting a faint blue light floated above his palm, slowly rotating like stars.

Then, something amazing happened!

Without any external force, these fragments automatically attracted each other and drew closer together.

"Om..."

With a strange resonance, the twelve fragments automatically arranged and perfectly pieced together.

A moment later, a crystal-clear pearl, with pure moonlight-like energy flowing inside, appeared before Cao Xing.

[Successfully synthesized: Moon Goddess Orb (Legendary)]

...

Upon seeing the prompt, Cao Xing smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, legendary gems like these contain a magical power."

"So it will automatically merge, and Harold doesn't even need to create it."

He paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Next, we can embed this precious gem into the staff and restore its power!"

With excitement, he took the Moon Goddess Staff out of his backpack again.

At this moment, Cao Xing held a crystal-clear staff in his right hand, radiating a faint moonlight, and held a crystal-clear pearl in his left hand.

Then... slowly bring the two treasures closer together.

Immediately afterwards, the same energy aura burst forth from these two things.

The next moment, the [Moon Goddess Orb] actually flew to the groove at the top of the staff on its own and gently landed.

"Zheng!"

A crisp, resonant sound rang out.

The legendary weapon parts, separated for many years, have finally been reunited today.

An unprecedented radiance erupted from the tip of the staff.

The pure moonlight flowed like water, illuminating the entire territory, even halting the howling wind overhead.

A system prompt appears.

[Ding! You have successfully repaired the equipment: Moon Goddess Staff (Legendary)]

(Note: This staff has been repaired and is now unclaimed; it can be bound to another user at any time.)
...

Upon seeing this notification, Cao Xing's face lit up with surprise!
"Great! The repair was successful!"

"Moreover, this newly restored Moon Goddess Staff is still unclaimed."

"In other words, I can equip it now, saving me a lot of trouble."

"awesome!"

With excitement, he couldn't wait to grab the staff that was floating in mid-air, and a vast power surged into his body!

Then, I took another look at the attributes of this staff.

Moon Goddess Staff

[Quality: Legend]

[Equipment Level: 100]

[Spell Attack Power: 11942~12452]

【月华之力：0/500（每次施法积攒1点‘月华之力’，每点提升1%的法术爆伤，上限30%）】

【Additional Effect ①: Lunar Blessing (Spirit +3500, Constitution +3000, Spell Penetration +30% (Armor Penetration))】

【Additional Effect ②: Crescent Blade (When casting a spell, there is a 25% chance to summon an additional crescent blade, dealing (Attack Power * 154%) moonlight damage)】

【Special Effect ③: Lunar Phase Rotation (Consumes 30 points of Moonlight Power, instantly swapping your position with any friendly unit within 3000 meters, no cooldown)】

【Additional Effect ④: Lunar Eclipse (Consumes 200 points of Moonlight Power, inflicting the 'Lunar Eclipse' status on the target, preventing them from regenerating health for 5 seconds and subjecting them to continuous moonlight burning damage (dealing 85% of attack power per second))】

[Special Effect 5: Silver Moon Finale (Legendary Special Effect!)]
Consumes 500 points of Moonlight Power to apply 'Moonlight Mark' to all enemies within a 5000-meter radius, which detonates after 3 seconds.

Causes the enemy to take 100% of the total damage dealt during the duration!

Cooldown: 36 hours) (Equipment Description: The moon waxes and wanes, shadows flicker and fade. If you hear the moonlight singing, it is I gently plucking the strings of the night—Moon Priestess Ireneville.)
...

...

Although this wasn't the first time Cao Xing had obtained legendary equipment, and he knew that each piece of legendary equipment had its own unique characteristics and powerful abilities.

But when he finished looking at the attributes of the [Moon Goddess Staff], he couldn't help but feel shocked and excited.

This weapon not only has a base level of 100, but each of its special effects has a powerful function that can greatly improve a mage's survivability and combat power!

For him, it was an absolutely perfect artifact!
Cao Xing took a few deep breaths, suppressing his excitement, and analyzed in a low voice: "The second special effect, Crescent Moon Power, has a 25% chance to summon a moon blade when casting a spell."

"It sounds low, but with my current casting speed, I can cast at least seven or eight enhanced Ice Spikes per second."

"In other words, it can reliably summon about two Moonblades per second, which indirectly increases my DPS by about 30%."

"And the third special effect, 'Lunar Phase Rotation,' is even more outrageous; it allows you to switch positions with your teammates without any cooldown!"

This concept needs no further explanation.

On the battlefield, if an enemy sneaks up behind you and tries to ambush you.

At this point, Cao Xing directly switched his position with either Malenina or Sarah.

The enemy thought they would be able to attack Cao Xing soon, but instead they faced the strongest melee fighter in their territory.

That scene must be interesting.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Then comes the even more outrageous [Lunar Eclipse] effect, and the legendary effect: [Silver Moon Finale].

The former can prevent the enemy from regenerating health for 5 seconds, making it perfect for eliminating enemies with amazing survivability and those struggling to survive.

The latter's legendary special effects are even more outrageous!

Detonates instantly, dealing 100% damage to enemies within 3 seconds.

This effect sounds a bit complicated, but the mechanism is actually similar to Sarah's Shadow Blossom.

It records all the damage the enemy takes within those three seconds and then detonates it all at once.

However, Sarah's detonation deals full damage from the first 5 attacks.

【Silver Moon Finale】detonates with full damage over 3 seconds, and this effect applies to all enemies.

It's absolutely terrifying!
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, good, good! I'm a legendary weapon now too!"

"With this legendary staff, combined with my powerful attributes and equipment, my combat strength will undergo a qualitative change!"

"Moreover, the [Moon Goddess Staff] has not yet been enhanced by the [Seven-Colored Crystal], so it can be upgraded again."

With that thought in mind, he quickly bound the staff to his soul.

As he released his pure magic, it resonated with the aura of the staff.

The next moment, a dazzling halo of moonlight erupted and completely enveloped him.

Cao Xing could clearly feel that a mysterious connection had been established between himself and the staff.

A warm pulse emanated from the staff, as if it were alive and responding to his touch.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully binding the legendary weapon: [Moon Goddess Staff]!]
[Title: Star Picker has been upgraded, Luck +10...]
...

After the notification ended, Cao Xing stood there, admiring the improvements brought by the new weapon.

After becoming familiar with the power of the Moon Goddess Staff, they couldn't wait to head to the area where the Crystal People were located.

Among a group of glowing crystal girls, Cao Xing found the Clover Stone, who was humming a song and arranging crystals.

Since he had things to do tonight and didn't have much time, he didn't spend much time catching up with her.

He directly instructed the Three-Leaf Stone to hand over all the crystals recently produced by the clan to him.

[Received: Dark Crystal * 159]

[Received: 14 Shining Crystals]

[Received: 3 Rainbow Crystals]

...

Looking at the crystals in his backpack, Cao Xing's eyes flashed with joy: "Very good. With unlimited supply of crystals to this group of crystal people, their output of seven-colored crystals has also increased significantly."

"Perfect timing. Besides the [Moon Goddess Staff], I can also enhance my [Great Lich's Ice Bone Leggings] at the same time."

So he quickly went to the blacksmith's shop.

A few minutes later, Cao Xing was almost at the gate of the blacksmith shop.

"Boom..."

As the door was pushed open, a wave of heat rushed out, mixed with the familiar metallic scent and a strange chill.

The dwarf Harold was wielding the Frostcore Hammer of Eternal Silence, diligently hammering away at the equipment in his hands.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, he quickly stopped what he was doing and bowed respectfully: "My lord, may you be well."

Cao Xing smiled slightly, took out the [Moon Goddess Staff] from his backpack, and then removed the [Great Lich's Ice Bone Leggings] he was wearing, placing them together in front of Harold's forging table.

He then placed two more rainbow crystals on top and said, "Harold, I'll need your help to enhance two more pieces of equipment for me today."

The dwarf blacksmith quickly replied, "My lord, you flatter me."

"It is my honor to serve you."

Cao Xing nodded: "Okay, let's begin."

"Yes!"

Harold responded solemnly, then quickly turned around, grabbed the two pieces of equipment on the forging table, and skillfully inlaid them.

As he skillfully inlaid the pieces, faint glimmers of light continuously emanated from the two pieces of equipment.

Cao Xing waited patiently on the side.

About twenty minutes later, two beams of seven-colored light suddenly burst forth from Harold's trembling hands.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

After two consecutive buzzing sounds, a system notification appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations on successful enhancement!]

[Legendary Equipment: Moon Goddess Staff, Equipment Level Upgraded, Special Effect: Lunar Eclipse Enhanced!]

...

[Ding! Congratulations on successful enhancement!]

[Legendary Equipment: High Lich's Icebone Leggings, Equipment Level Upgraded, Legendary Effect: Frostbite Echoes Enhanced!]

...

Harold breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the two legendary items, and strode to Cao Xing: "My lord, I have not failed you!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Harold."

Cao Xing patted him on the shoulder, then took the two pieces of equipment and glanced at their enhanced attributes.

Moon Goddess Staff

[Quality: Legend]

[Equipment Level: 130]

[Spell Attack Power: 15942~16452]

[Moonlight Power: 0/500→700]

【Additional Effect ④: Lunar Eclipse (Consumes 200 points of Lunar Power to put the target into the 'Lunar Eclipse' state.】

Unable to regenerate health for 5→10 seconds and suffers continuous burning damage from moonlight (dealing 85%→115% of attack power per second).
Cooldown time reduced from 10 hours to 5 hours)

...

...

The Great Lich's Ice Bone Leggings (Legendary)

[Quality: Legend]

Equipment Level: 100 or above

Armor: 2619~2758

[Special Effect ③: Frostbite Echo (Legendary Effect!)]
Every second, the wearer will briefly form 'Frost Runes' under their feet, lasting from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

If an allied unit steps on a rune, it will be granted a shield equal to 5% to 8% of the caster's maximum health.

If an enemy unit steps on the rune, it triggers the "Frostbite Explosion" effect, dealing true damage equal to (5% → 8% of the caster's maximum health) to enemies in a small area and slowing them.

...

...

After reviewing the enhanced attributes of the two pieces of equipment, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction once again.

“Excellent! Although the [Moon Goddess Staff] is not enhanced with a legendary-level effect, the 'Lunar Eclipse' effect is still quite good.”

"In addition, it also increased the maximum value of 'Moonlight Power' from 500 to 700."

"It's like I could only release one of the effects of 'Lunar Eclipse' or 'Silver Moon Finale' before, but now I can release them both at the same time."

"The actual effects will be far more powerful than we imagine!"

The enhancement of the Ice Bone Leggings is quite simple and straightforward, involving only a basic numerical increase, so there's not much to say about it.

So he put on the two enhanced pieces of equipment again, and his attributes increased dramatically!

Feeling the surging lunar energy and bone-chilling cold within his body, Cao Xing clapped his hands.

Just as he was about to ask Harold about the progress of the legendary leather armor's forging,

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, and he subconsciously gripped the handle of the staff.

He sensed a familiar yet chilling aura emanating from the vicinity of Starfire City.

These presences were like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness on the snowy plains, but they only dared to linger about 10 kilometers from the city walls.

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "These guys... are quite punctual."

"It seems that tonight's plan can be carried out."
