Don't call me evil god

Chapter 262 Small Money
"Is there any need to ask? Keep going!"

Petunia thought the question was unnecessary.

After the divine magic is strengthened, the weapon will become more powerful and can be strengthened multiple times.

That must be done until it can't be strengthened any more!

How could there be a fool who would stop just after strengthening once?
What's more, this is an opportunity given by Mullen for free.

The second time it was strengthened, another "bang" of the hammer smashed down hard.

This time, there was no flash of dazzling white light from the sword, but wisps of gray-black smoke emerged.

Somehow, Petunia suddenly had a bad feeling.

“…Done?”

Mullen calmly put down the hammer in his hand and said, "It's done."

"Is it stronger now than before?"

"Sorry, not really."

"what?"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Tostin, the second attempt to strengthen your weapon has failed."

Petunia's eyebrows were almost wrinkled. "Failed?! So the materials and effort for strengthening this time were wasted?"

Ma Lun waved his hand: "Hey! You can't say that. It's not in vain!"

Petunia felt a little hopeful when she heard this: "What's new?"

"The change is that the effect of your first enhancement is now gone!"

Petunia almost vomited blood on the spot.

So success is accumulated, and failure is reset to zero?
Maren had anticipated the other party's reaction and explained skillfully, "Mr. Tostin, you may not understand the effect of this casting magic."

"【Equipment Enhancement】 uses the power of God to enhance the essence of your weapon. The materials used are also very special. This process is very difficult!"

"An extremely delicate balance must be achieved in order for [Equipment Enhancement] to take effect successfully. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted. Not only will the enhancement fail this time, but the previously stable balance will also be broken, causing all enhancement effects to dissipate."

Petunia suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but asked suspiciously, "Wait a minute, so what you mean is... the failure of strengthening is because you didn't strike a good balance when casting the magic, which caused something to go wrong in the process?"

"Then the responsibility lies with you!"

"You have a problem. Shouldn't you continue to use divine power to make up for the lost power?"

Ma Lun spread his hands in a very bachelor-like manner:

"You misunderstood."

"This magic is inherently unstable. I am very sure that there is no problem with my operation, but it is possible that the original delicate balance will be broken during the next round of strengthening."

"The failure of divine enhancement is a probabilistic event!"

"All I can learn is the success rate of each round of enhancement."

Petunia asked, "So what is the probability of the second enhancement being successful?"

"About 9%."

"I really...thank you very much!"

Pete Twain almost uttered these words through gritted teeth.

With a 90% success rate, he encountered that unlucky 10%. Petunia was simply impressed.

He was fully aware of the effect of the magic [Equipment Enhancement].

Prepare the equipment to be enhanced, gather the materials, chant the prayer, then swing the hammer upward and bang it.

The more consecutive successes you have, the better the effect will be after the reinforcement.

"Don't I still have a chance to try it for free? Go on!"

"boom!"

Pete Twain was sure this time.

When the strengthening was successful, a white light did flash on the sword.

"Try it again. I don't believe that with a 90% chance of failure, I can still fail twice in a row!"

But Mullen did not swing the hammer as he was told. Instead, he smiled and held out his hand to Petunia:

"Total cost of materials and my reward for the enhancement: 10 silver coins." "Mr. Tostin, do you want to pay in cash or by credit card?"

Pete Twain was startled.

"so cheap?"

The price of ten silver coins was far below his expectations.

This kind of divine blessing, which can make weapons and equipment exert power beyond their original power, is normally paid for in gold coins.

But Mullen only took 10 silver coins from him?
He pinched a gold coin directly from his purse.

"I'll give you 1 gold! Keep strengthening me!"

"it is good."

After receiving the payment, Mullen was not in a hurry to give Petunia change. He raised the hammer without hesitation and smashed it down again!

"boom!"

This time, Petwin stared at his sword on the anvil, and only when he saw the familiar white light flash by did he relax.

"Huh, that's right. How could someone be so unlucky as to fail twice in a row!"

After completing the two enhancements, when Petwin took the weapon and attacked the test monster shell again, the improvement was even more obvious this time.

A conspicuous crack was directly cut on the shell!

If he used his anger, he should be able to split the monster's shell directly!
"Great! This sword is now simply amazing!"

Petunia stroked the marks of her attack and couldn't help but praise it.

The effect of this [Equipment Enhancement] casting magic is immediate and the improvement is huge!

Without infusing rage, it can only cause low damage to level 2 monsters.

Now it is possible to leave obvious traces at will.

"Can we continue to strengthen its power?"

Pete Twain asked Maren excitedly.

Mullen immediately responded, “Of course.”

"However, the subsequent enhancements will require more materials, so a higher fee will be charged. Do you have any objection, Mr. Tostin?"

"What's the higher fee?" Petuniah said, not yet completely overwhelmed by the excitement.

If the other party suddenly asked for dozens of gold coins or something like that, he would definitely turn against him.

"Not much, this time it's 20 silver coins."

Upon hearing this number, Petunia felt relieved.

joke.

He had more than a dozen gold coins stolen from home with him, so spending a few silver coins was just a small amount of money!
Master Pei has plenty of money, so he doesn’t need this little bit!
"So what are you waiting for, keep going!"

"boom!!!"

The forging hammer hit his beloved sword again!

This time the white light from the sword was stronger and no longer flashed by. After the weapon successfully underwent the third enhancement, the sword began to emit a long white glow.

Pete Twain's eyes widened.

He'd heard of this!

The surface of the weapon naturally emits a faint glow, which is the effect brought about by the gray dwarves after enchanting the weapon.

Luminous weapons are extremely difficult to buy on the market, and even if you offer dozens of gold coins, there is still no demand.

Those who own it will often treat it as a family heirloom and will not sell it easily.

Petunia's father had an enchanted shield, which he treasured very much.

It was placed in his own room, and no one was allowed to touch it except the servants who cleaned and maintained it every day.

Now his weapons can also have magical glowing effects? !
