Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 648 Double Rewards Enhancement
This thing is very long and looks obviously processed. It feels good in the hand, with a unique elastic and tough texture, which clearly matches Aowu's description of 'the longer the better, and the more comfortable to hold'.

Li Xia glanced strangely at the female ghost in the mirror, her eyes crinkled with laughter as she happily perched on his head.

Wait, this girl really likes to hear compliments?

Get carried away after just a couple of lines?
No wonder I got scammed!

This is it.
【Im's Waist Rope】

[Grade: Light Orange (Tier 4)]

[Equipment Type: Rope/Whip]

【Origin: One Piece】

【Durability: 80/80】

Resilience: Maximum tensile strength increased by 50%
Elasticity: Strength +20%
Dragonhide: +60% resistance to energy/physical attacks
Rope length: 10-150 meters (maximum length)

[Synopsis: Once upon a time, the Great Kingdom was inhabited by magical creatures called 'Dragons'. They possessed incredible power. After Im's victory, she destroyed the Great Kingdom and also killed these creatures. She skinned them and made their hides into this strange rope to use as a waist rope. However, one day she was unable to untie her own rope and was forced to cut herself in two, after which she gave up using it.]

Dragons exist in the world of One Piece, or rather, dragons must have existed in the past, because legends about dragons have been circulating in the world of One Piece. If dragons existed in a great kingdom eight hundred years ago, then everything makes sense.

After all, the Kingdom of Giants is the one that can create Zunesha and giant iron robots, and the rare races that exist in One Piece are all related to it.

"What the heck? Dragon skin?"

Aowu leaned closer to take a look, examined it carefully once more, and then disdainfully tossed the rope aside.
"Any rotten fish or shrimp dares to call itself a dragon. If Grandpa Dragon grows up, he'll be at least 10,000 meters long. He could blow Im to dust with a single breath."

This thing is at best a lizard!

Black Charcoal, however, curiously took the rope, pulled on it hard, and then his eyes widened in surprise:
"Meow!"

Li Xia and Aowu were taken aback, and they also took the rope in their hands. As the muscles in their arms bulged high, the small section of rope in Li Xia's hand was instantly stretched to about two meters with his current arm span.

The section I was holding was about 20 centimeters long, and now it's stretched to two meters. The rope still has some strength left, which is quite terrifying in terms of elasticity.

Moreover, even when you hold this thing, you can feel the toughness of the rope; it's probably very difficult to break.

"Give it to Madaro and have him test it to see what the rope's limits are."

After thinking for a while, Li Xia made a decision. For him, the rope was actually not very useful; at most, it was just an auxiliary tool.

He doesn't need any hooks or locks!
Why bother with all this fancy stuff? As long as it can fly, that's all that matters. Even if it doesn't fly normally and is afraid of being shot down, it can just fly when the grappling hook is needed.

On the contrary, the purpose of this equipment itself—the waist rope—is quite good, much better than a belt. It's basically a super-material version of a rubber band. Compared to a belt, the rubber band is definitely more comfortable.

Hmm? Rubber band?
Li Xia fell into deep thought, then pulled out a rubber band and made a slingshot to shoot at your window.
This monkey rubber band—no, this dragon skin rope—if it were coiled into a slingshot...
With that pulling force, wouldn't he be covered in bruises after going out like that?
Thinking about it this way, even the rope that I initially thought was useless suddenly seemed quite attractive.

"Put it away first!"

Satisfied, Li Xia put the rope around the black-faced man's body and then picked up the last item the female ghost had pulled out.

It was a vial of purple medicine:

[MADS Lineage Factor Potion]

[Quality: Light Orange (Tier 4)]

【Origin: One Piece - Germa 66】

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: After use, Strength attribute increases by 20%, Intelligence attribute decreases by 10%, and Spirit attribute decreases by 10%]

Note: After using the potion, the maximum Strength attribute will be 60 points.

[Evaluation: This berserk potion was created using Whitebeard's bloodline factor, but due to insufficient technology, it could only produce such a flawed potion.]

Trash!

Li Xia tossed the potion directly to Aowu:
"Sell it directly; someone should be interested."

Without a doubt, this thing was used by Whitebeard Jr. What good is having the strength attributes of Whitebeard when he was young if you don't have a good brain? No matter how strong you are, it's useless.

"Definitely, those tanks will go crazy! They might even fetch a high price."

Awoo happily took the potion; those main tanks with stat boosts in three or four dimensions definitely needed it.

They don't primarily enhance intelligence and spirit, so the potion causes them minimal harm.

"Yes, try to exchange for gems; I don't need the others for the time being."

Li Xia still remembers that her belt was a gemstone belt, which could be inlaid and could slightly enhance the effect of the gemstones.

"okay!"

Awoo poked its head out of the dragon egg and asked curiously:

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Following the previous world, they have once again encountered a world where they don't need to sleep upon returning. On the Sunny, they eat and sleep well, and their spirits are fully restored.

"I'll strengthen it and then go to Madaro's side."

Li Xia stood up and stretched his limbs. His movement startled the female ghost, but she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, and her whole body floated behind him like a cloak.

Li Xia:
If it weren't for the spaciousness of the hall, she would have had a chance to experience firsthand what the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the body of a demigod were all about!

What does it mean to ward off all evil? On his way to the Enhancement Hall, Li Xia casually opened the communication platform for reserve agents.

After a quick scan, there wasn't much useful information; it was mostly just chatting and joking around. The main contributor was Dragon God, who was a chatterbox and could talk endlessly about the smallest things.

Li Xia suspected that the reason why the others rarely showed up was because they were afraid of having an awkward conversation with the Dragon God. A truly awkward conversation!

However, he did have something he wanted to ask this time.

【Part Three, Third Order】: Everyone, is the essence of divine power the crystallization of divine power?

The moment the message was sent, the Dragon God replied instantly, making one wonder if he lived on the chat platform.

[Dragon God - Eighth in Order]: ? ? ?

[Dragon God - Eighth in Order]: Holy crap, Third Brother, you've already got the Divine Power Crystal???

[Dragon God - Eighth in Order]: Come out and see the gods! @Everyone
[Dead Silence - Sixth in Order]:
[Blackfire - Fifth Pick]:
[Thunderbolt - Seventh Pick]:
[The Hunt - Ninth Pick]:
[Water Cooling - 10th in Rank]:
The string of ellipses was very eye-catching, and Li Xia suddenly realized that something seemed wrong. The subsequent remarks of the other reserve officers finally confirmed his guess.

[Blackfire - Fifth in Order]: I remember. I only got the Divine Power Essence when I was about to advance to the sixth rank. I almost died!
[Water-cooled - 10th in Rank]: Ah. I'm at Rank 7. I've seen the first Divine Essence.

【Thunderous Fury - Seventh Rank】: Same as the seventh rank.
[Dragon God - Eighth in Line]: You guys are so late? I got it when I was promoted from fifth to sixth!

[Dead Silence - Sixth Order]: They're all freaks!! I've seen so many apostles who are already at the eighth rank, and they've never even seen divine essence!
[Dragon God - Eighth Place]: Sixth Brother, when did you get the essence?
[Dead Silence - Sixth Order]: Sixth Rank!

And so another set of ellipses appeared.

In the end, it was the Hunter, who had also killed an Old God, who answered the question.

【Water Cooling - 10th Place】: @Three, that's right, Divine Essence is a type of Divine Crystal. The smallest unit is Essence, then Divine Crystal Core, and finally Divine Crystal.

[Water-cooled - 10th in order]: This thing is generally available whenever a god is killed, or when a divine being is killed, which is a creature that has been endowed with a part of divinity. However, it is very difficult to kill. Apostles generally cannot kill it. Even if a god is killed, it is basically a team effort, and the spoils are not enough to go around.

[Water-cooled - 10th in Rank]: So this thing has a pretty high trading value, but the problem is that it's not very useful at low tiers unless you trade it to a guild.

[Overlord Blade - Second Priority]: Don't sell to a guild. You won't get a good price, or even if you seem to make a profit, you'll actually lose a lot of money. Guilds will never buy it with scarce resources.

I remember when I was a newbie, I sold something once and got a bunch of useless Hall Points, which I didn't know how to use.

[Divine Light - First Place]: Little Three, use it yourself.

Looking at the content on the communication platform, apart from Xiao San making him a little uncomfortable, the other reserve agents had basically explained what he wanted to ask.

All he wanted to know was the value of this thing and where it could be obtained.

It can only be said that the Dragon God was too enthusiastic, insisting on tagging everyone else.

But where is the fourth pick? Could it be that it was pushed out of the running by itself and is feeling depressed?
Li Xia thanked them on the communication platform, and just then, he arrived at the Enhancement Hall.

Inside the cold, reinforced chamber, the remaining lights gradually dimmed until darkness enveloped everything.

At the same time, a light blue panel appeared in front of Li Xia, quietly floating before his eyes.

[Current attribute points: 30, please allocate them, Executioner]

Li Xia made adjustments immediately.

【Power: 60→66】

[Dexterity: 60 → 66]

[Intelligence: 59 → 65]

[Spirit: 59→65]

Physical Fitness: 60 → 66

The lights in the enhancement chamber gradually dimmed, while several metal spheres resembling beams lit up, gathering violent energy.

Li Xia's muscles began to tremble, and sweat seeped out of his body, evaporating into water vapor from his scorching skin and then being carried away by the cooling circulation system inside the enhancement chamber.

He closed his eyes, gradually getting used to the excruciating pain that had been unbearable before.

Endure pain, get used to pain, enjoy pain.

With a hissing sound of depressurization, the lid of the reinforced chamber slid open to the side.

Li Xia placed his hand on the cold bulkhead as he stepped out of the enhanced chamber. A large amount of steam rose from his body, and the female ghost waiting outside immediately floated up behind him and hugged him again.

In the dense fog, the female ghost's figure seemed to possess an ethereal quality, and coupled with her beautiful face, even the apostles couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Look how clever they are! Why didn't I think of that!"

Li Xia:
If I really give it to you, I'm afraid you'll cry.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surge of power within his body, and then looked at his own data panel.

The problem is still the same: things are progressing too quickly. The attribute increases are happening too fast.

At this rate, it will take at most one world to reach the true peak of fourth-tier attributes.

He was then forced to advance to the fifth rank.

We have to think of a solution.

Li Xia pondered for a moment, then decisively walked outside.

Next stop, the blacksmith's shop!
