Chapter 73: Second-Tier Evil Attribute Bond Unlocked!
The items you get from the level 200 Fear Chest are no different from those from the level 100 chest.

One [Small Lucky Lantern], one [Basic Equipment Forger].

Although the effect of the Evil attribute bond is "the higher the fear level, the better the treasure chest reward".

But now it seems that perhaps the quality of the treasure chest can only be improved once every 500 or 1000 floors?
Xia Chi wasn't sure, but it wasn't a matter of advancing one level every hundred levels.

Since these two items weren't particularly rare, Xia Chi opened them immediately.

The small lucky lantern exploded with a "Champion-level Tyranitar breeding data", which hit Xia Chi right where it hurt.

Larvitar's current physical condition is sufficient to support its normal breeding; it is time to use breeding materials.

Although due to the special circumstances of easily volatile internal energy, it cannot be directly applied in a rigid manner.

But it's still valuable to use it as a reference.

For basic equipment, Xia Chi chose the Goddess's Tear, which had "+10% total energy" and had not been forged before.

The main goal is to see if it can be combined with the Golden Spatula to create the [Dark Attribute Bond Emblem]. If not, it can be combined in the future to create the [Archangel's Staff] for Misdreavus.

After painstakingly eliminating three wrong answers, this time, the goods finally arrived!
The crafting path for the Golden Spatula and Tear of the Goddess is: Dark/Psychic attribute synergy emblem!

Tongzi's voice sounded like heavenly music to Xia Chi's ears.

After more than a month since the system was activated, I've finally managed to get a Tier 2 bond!

Eager to synthesize the Dark Attribute Bond Emblem, Xia Chi was about to equip it on the Dream Demon when she suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Tongzi, do Bond Emblems take up equipment slots?"

He remembered that whether it was Teamfight Tactics or the Golden Spatula, emblems would take up inventory space.

[Occupation]

Tsk, that's troublesome.

There are only three equipment slots in total. The Hextech Gunblade and the Bond Emblem take up two slots, and the Archangel's Staff is reserved for the last one.

What about the tanky build like the Berserker's Armor in the plan?
Undeterred, Xia Chi asked, "Are there any items that can increase the number of equipment slots?"

[Currently do not have permission]

Alright, that means it exists.

Xia Chi felt relieved.

If there really wasn't one, Brother Tongzi would have denied it without hesitation, rather than giving this ambiguous answer.

【.】

"Alright, let's equip the Dream Demon with the Bond Crest!"

[Equipment successful!]

In this way, all three of his existing Pokémon will have the Dark type bond.

【Bond: Dark Attribute (4) Defeating opponents will allow you to collect more Fear Points. Every 100 stacks of Fear Points will provide an additional 10% damage and a Fear Chest. Open the Fear Chest to receive rewards! (The Fear Chest will evolve as the stack increases. Currently, the Fear Points are 203.5, providing the Pokémon with an additional 20% damage!)】

Xia Chi was not disappointed; the improvement in the second-tier bond was significant.

Not only has the bonus damage per 100 stacks of fear been doubled to 10%, but the efficiency of collecting fear has also been improved.

Previously it was "Collect Fear Points", now a new entry "More" has been added.

However, this wording is ambiguous. Given Tongzi's usual behavior, it might only increase by 5%.

Xia Chi thought to himself, "Brother Tong is such a cheapskate."

"More" refers to 50%

Holy crap, they just added a zero?

This system from Brother Tongzi is really good; it really gets things done!

Xia Chi thought to himself with delight, "May Brother Tong live a long and healthy life!"

Try cursing me again and see what happens!

Xia Chi: "."

It seems that's true; for Brother Tong, dying at one hundred years old is indeed considered premature. ——————

"Hello hello? Moshi moshi? Aloha? Can you hear me?"

The classic four-way language was used as an unusual starting point, and the screen in the black live stream room appeared.

Just like how trainers encounter Pokémon when they enter tall grass.

As soon as Xia Chi's handsome face appeared on camera, the enthusiastic audience immediately started to pop up.

"??? Did I time travel? It's only 1 p.m., and Prison Water is already airing today?"

"They actually turned on the camera today! The room looks different, did they move?"

"Is he a fake fan? He's been living in a fancy new place for a week now."

"That reminds me, speaking of high-level..."

"Teacher Shui, the game had a big update yesterday, adding a lot of new items. Could you explain them to us?"

"You're still going live on the last day before the New Year to keep us company? Haji, you're really touching!"

Seeing the bullet comments, Xia Chi suddenly realized that today really was December 31st.

I've been so busy lately that I've almost lost track of time.

The first two years were fine. As [Batman: Eastern Form], Xia Chi had no family and didn't care much about holidays.

It passed by so easily.

At most, we might do something special during those few minutes of New Year's Eve as a way to create a sense of ritual for the new year.

Now that there are three more mouths to feed in the family, I've become a family hero.

Such an important moment should not be taken lightly.

Fortunately, the Eastern Huang region of this world also has the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival, so we'll prepare properly then.

Pulling herself back to reality, Xia Chi smiled and said, "That's right, it's because today is the last day before the New Year, so we started the broadcast earlier."

This is a lie.

Actually, it's because Xia Chi has been busy this month and needs to make up for lost livestream time.

The viewers in the live stream naturally understood, and a series of teasing comments flooded the screen.

Xia Chi, whose skin was as thick as a Bosscodile's steel shell, pretended not to see it, coughed lightly, and continued: "Some viewers asked me to talk about the items updated in 'Road to Champions' yesterday. I can only say that these items will change the entire game's battle environment!"

Whether it's due to a timeline correction or not, Pokémon: Road to Victory, a new game that's only been around for a year, has also updated the items from the previous Pokémon battles.

Classic items like the Viagra, Life Orb, Leftovers, and Evolution Stone are all available.

The effect varies depending on the overall durability of the Pokémon.

Xia Chi was naturally pleased with this change.

Props mean variables, and variables mean a bigger stage for oneself as a comedic battle streamer.

And then... those who know, know.

Come in money!

So Xia Chi spent the entire afternoon explaining the function of each item in detail on the game's update interface.

From one o'clock to seven o'clock, what should have been a dry and boring explanation was transformed into a stand-up comedy routine with great entertainment value.

The number of viewers watching the live stream also rose steadily, climbing to 200,000 by 7 p.m.!
This set a new record for Xia Chi since the show started airing.

"You're really good at talking! There are only a little over a hundred props, and you can talk for five hours straight!"

"A tribute to the legendary Wang Laoshui, who can hold his breath any longer. I really can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet."

"After you finish explaining, Teacher Shui, could you demonstrate each prop in a real-world scenario before ending the stream? Thank you!"

"2333 Are they going to keep pouring water into the prison until they die? Draining the pond to catch all the fish is not a good idea. It's more fun to slowly squeeze the water out of the prison."

"To be frank, most of the items are pretty useless, just like some Pokémon are useless and only there to complete the Pokédex."
