Douluo Golden Shovel: One Hextech Gunpla every year!

Chapter 8 Ornn's Artifact, the Activation Box!
In these shops, Red Lotus has the opportunity to choose any item and purchase one.

Looking at the dazzling array of equipment and goods inside, Honglian roughly understood what was going on.

These equipment are divided into ready-made equipment and equipment forging machines with a gambling element.

Finished equipment is more expensive, while equipment forging tools are slightly cheaper.

Because ready-made equipment allows you to directly select the equipment you want, there are no surprises.

Equipment forging tools requires choosing one from five pieces of equipment of the same grade, while individual pieces require choosing one from three individual pieces.

However, the total number of equipment is much greater than this figure.

If you're unlucky, you might not be able to select the equipment you want at all.

Honglian checked the prices of various equipment.

The price of a single item is 7 gold coins, while the price of a single forging tool is 6 gold coins.
The price of a complete set of equipment is 15 gold, while the price of a complete set of equipment forging tools is 13 gold.

The price of a designated support item is 25 gold, while the price of a support item forge is 20 gold.

The price of the Bright Armor is 50 gold coins, while the price of the Bright Armor forging tool is 45 gold coins;

The price of the Ornn artifact is set at 30 gold, while the price of the Ornn artifact forge is 25 gold.

Oh, and they also sell equipment reforging tools and equipment dismantling tools, one for five gold coins.

The selling value of this equipment is actually similar to the value recognized by players in the Golden Shovel game.

This price reflects the actual strength of various equipment and their standing in the eyes of players.

Among them, the Light Armor has the strongest attributes, with one piece almost equaling the attributes of two to three unupgraded pieces of armor.

Furthermore, the attributes of two or three pieces of equipment only occupy one equipment slot, which can greatly increase the strength and potential of the chess pieces wearing the Light Armor.

Support gear is a type of equipment that provides the core character with the equipment's attributes without needing to be equipped by the main DPS.

It's like using other accessories as extra equipment slots for the core of the lineup, which is also very important and another way to increase the potential of the core of the lineup.

Moreover, most support items can affect multiple units at the same time, and can also be regarded as a synergy or a group buff, or even a Hextech item for combat power.

The strength of Ornn's artifacts lies not in their numerical values, but in the equipment mechanics of each individual Ornn artifact item.

For example, the "Deeply Rooted" soul skill that Honglian just acquired is actually related to an artifact called [Mithril Dawn] in the Orn artifacts, which also has the effect of making the wearer immune to dizziness control.

In certain special circumstances, it can serve as a substitute for deeply rooted soul skills or mercury equipment that provides immunity to control effects.

This time, Crimson Lotus has her sights set on an Ornn artifact called the "Crater of Activation," which is worth thirty gold coins.

[Chapter of Activation]: +150 Max Health +15 Mana

Each time the wearer is hit by an attack, they gain 2% of their total mana. Each spell cast restores 20% of the wearer's maximum health over 3 seconds.

Although its basic attribute bonus is not high, it is even less than that of an ordinary complete set of equipment.

However, its special artifact skill effects are extremely terrifying.

Its ability to passively recover mana upon being attacked is truly terrifying.

The more people you hit, the harder and more frequently you get beaten, the faster you can recover your mana!

Theoretically, being passively hit fifty times is enough to fully restore your mana bar.

Furthermore, each skill cast restores 20% of maximum health and mana within three seconds, synergizing with skill casting. Especially for characters like Shyvana, who can continuously heal and increase their maximum health during battle, the synergy created by the Ornn artifact further amplifies their strength, making them perfectly suited for taking on multiple opponents.

It's entirely possible to unleash more skills the more you're hit; the more skills you unleash, the faster your health recovers and the higher your maximum health becomes.

Eventually, it becomes a perpetual motion machine, gaining more health the more it takes to be hit, and its combat power and damage are boosted even more.

It is the most perfect match for Ornn's artifact equipment.

Honglian also considered whether to use this opportunity to exchange for the theoretically more powerful "Light Madman", "Light Invigorating Green Armor", "Light Dragon Fang", "Light Plate Armor" and so on.

In the end, however, Crimson Lotus still chose the [Crate of Activation] Ornn artifact.

Honglian felt that while more powerful Light equipment like Light Madman, Light Invigorator, and Light Dragon Fang could improve initial minimum performance and survivability, they were not the only options available.

However, in terms of the final cumulative numerical limit, it will never be as high as the limit that can be obtained by wearing the Activation Box.

As long as she isn't instantly killed by the enemy, if Honglian's Dragon Girl Martial Soul's Blazing Wildfire skill can be activated two or three times, then the Dragon Girl's stacked health and strength, enhanced by the Activation Box, will be very difficult to suppress.

"That's it, the Activation Box!"

Honglian's Dragon Girl Martial Soul has a base stat of three stars, a double resistance bonus from the second-tier Fortress Guardian, and the Deeply Rooted Soul Skill that increases health, double resistance, and immunity to control effects, ensuring a minimum level of performance. Now is the time to pursue an even higher ceiling.

There will be other opportunities to obtain other items.

Moreover, and more importantly, Honglian currently only has 78 gold coins.

If you take out thirty gold coins to buy an activation box, that's just right, and you can also earn an extra four coins in interest every year.

However, if you spend fifty yuan to buy a brightening product, you'll only earn two yuan in interest.

It may seem like there's only a difference of two coins, but in terms of long-term benefits, the difference is a full five gold coins, which is almost the price of a single item!
Without much hesitation, Honglian immediately exchanged for the Activation Box!
This Ornn artifact, which resembled a heart, a fruit, and a Pandora's box, appeared directly in Honglian's hands after being exchanged.

The powerful, mysterious force contained within the activation box is profound and full of life.

Honglian did not choose to equip this artifact on herself, but instead directly equipped it into the spare equipment slot of the Martial Soul Dragon Girl Shyvana.

In this way, Shyvana's three equipment slots now have the first Ornn artifact equipment.

If Honglian carried such a divine artifact with her, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of discerning experts.

By directly fusing and equipping it onto the Dragon Girl's Martial Soul, no one can mess with the Activation Box anymore.

After the activation box was equipped on the Dragon Girl's martial soul, all that could be seen was a naked pinkish-purple "heart" suddenly appearing on Shyvana's chest.

That is the Orn Artifact Activation Box fused into the Dragon Girl's Martial Soul.

In the form of a second heart, combined with the Dragon Girl Martial Soul, she gains new artifact skills and power!

Then, Honglian looked at this last harvest.

Hextech!

As Crimson Lotus made his choice to draw, three brand-new Hextech appeared before his eyes.

Honglian's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of excitement hidden in them.

"Colorful, and colorful all the time!"
