Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 181 Black Blade +14

Inside the equipment enhancement hall.

[Welcome to Equipment Enhancement Machine No. 666. User has 451000 Paradise Coins.]

Fang Yu eagerly placed the black blade at his waist into the equipment enhancement machine.

[Equipment Inspection in Progress — Inspection Complete. Each enhancement costs 17500 Paradise Coins. Enhance/Demonstrate?]

"strengthen."

[Enhancement begins, please wait five minutes.]

Rumble—

The equipment enhancement machine roared to life, its momentum still astonishing. The "click-clack" of precision parts meshing at high speed intertwined with the "buzzing" of high-voltage current, creating a heart-pounding industrial rhythm.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the equipment enhancement machine stopped working.

laugh----

Hot steam gushed out from both sides, signaling the arrival of the event.

[Black Blade +1 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

Fang Yu chose to continue without hesitation. With the "Illusionary Demon Stone" and "Crystal Dew Stone" as a backup, plus his own high luck bonus, he had no reason to stop before reaching his limit.

"strengthen."

The equipment enhancement machine started operating again, with tremendous momentum.

[Black Blade +2 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

[Black Blade +3 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

[Black Blade +8 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

Note: Continuing to enhance the equipment will result in failure and damage to the equipment.

Upon seeing the warning, Fang Yu remained calm and placed the [Illusionary Demon Stone] into the tray.

The effect of this rare ore is to exempt you from the penalty of failing to enhance a dark purple equipment once; if successful, you retain the enhancement.

The tray, carrying the Black Blade and the Illusion Stone, slowly retracted into the depths of the machine.

The roar resumed, and the reinforcement continued.

[Black Blade +9 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

The unique shimmering light phenomenon that appears upon successful enhancement has already attracted the attention of many onlookers.

[Black Blade +10 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

[Black Blade +11 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

"Holy crap!!"

"My God—have I met Lady Luck's chosen one?!"

"Brother, aren't you going to take a break? Why are you being so reckless?"

Ignoring the clamor behind him, Fang Yu chose to continue again. This time he had enough Paradise Coins, and he was determined to go all out until he ran out of Illusionary Magic Stones and Crystal Dew Stones.

Half an hour later, the equipment enhancement machine gradually stopped operating, and steam billowed out from both sides of the machine, once again showing the unusual phenomenon of successful enhancement.

[Black Blade +12 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

"What kind of mystical master is this???"

"Please release a tutorial on how to enhance your character! I'll be the first to buy it!!"

"My God! Give me guidance!!"

The crowd grew increasingly agitated, with a bald man in a long black robe and covered in tattoos appearing particularly agitated. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his gaze burning as he stared intently at Fang Yu's retreating figure, muttering to himself, "You devout believer, shouldn't you follow in the footsteps of this divine child and step into that chaotic world of countless calamities?!"

The burly man next to him turned his head in confusion: "Dude, which deity are you worshipping?"

"It's faith, not worship! I believe in the goddess of fate! Don't get it wrong!" the bald man corrected him with a serious expression.

Now the burly man was even more confused: "But your gesture—isn't that like praying to Buddha? Shouldn't you clasp your hands together or hold a cross or something?"

A humble yet complex expression immediately appeared on the bald believer's face: "Before I converted to Buddhism—I was a Buddhist."

The burly man's lips twitched: "--Well, you really are quite devout."

Fang Yu, who had overheard the entire conversation, couldn't help but glance at the bald man. This guy was a complete clown, utterly bizarre. One second he was correcting others, emphasizing the use of the words "worship" and "belief," and the next second he was contradicting himself.

If the goddess of fate knew, she would surely berate you as a "shallow believer."

I wonder if the current Goddess of Fortune is the one who was "deeply studied" by the secret pioneers back then—if so, will she have any psychological trauma after being studied?

Fang Yu shook his head slightly, putting aside his distractions, and continued to focus on strengthening the Black Blade.

The wait to upgrade to +13 was exceptionally long; more than half an hour later, the roaring machine finally began to gradually stop operating.

laugh----

The scorching air surged forth once more, and the expected phenomenon of successful enhancement arrived.

[Black Blade +13 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

Note: If you continue to enhance the equipment, it will be completely destroyed and irreparable if the enhancement fails.

After reading the prompt, Fang Yu remained unmoved. With the Illusionary Demon Stone and the Crystal Dew Stone, he had no need to worry about the punishment after failure.

hiss----

hiss----

hiss----

The crowd behind him was completely absorbed in a frantic collective gasp, as if trying to suck the air out of Fang Yu's body and suffocate him. Their eyes were already bloodshot, devoid of any envy, filled only with pure jealousy and hatred.

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and chose to continue strengthening.

"No!"

"Holy crap!"

"I want more!"

"I... God, God, God, God, God—Ah!!"

Seeing the tray retract back into the machine, the crowd erupted in uproar. No one was offering blessings anymore; their only hope now was that the enhancement would fail.

This phenomenon is like this: if your good friend is doing well, you'll be happy for him. But if one day your good friend wins a ten million dollar lottery, you'll feel unbalanced. Then, if he invests that ten million dollar and makes hundreds of millions, all you'll have left is to curse him.

I'm happy if you're doing well, but aren't you—doing it way too well?!

Pfft—

This time, luck wasn't on Fang Yu's side; the enhanced machine spewed out scorching steam, and an enhanced warning appeared.

[Black Blade +14 failed. Continue enhancement?]

Note: The Illusion Stone has replaced the penalty and has been used up. If you continue to enhance it, the enhancement will fail and the Black Blade will be damaged and difficult to repair.

Fang Yu remained calm, took out the Crystal Dew Stone, placed it on the tray, and selected to continue strengthening.

The effect of Crystal Dewstone is that it retains only three uses if the enhancement is successful; if the enhancement fails, it is consumed as a penalty.

When the Black Blade was upgraded to +12, the Crystal Dewstone had already been used twice.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Black Blade can be upgraded to +14, the Crystal Dewstone will be completely consumed, which can be considered as making the best use of it.

This is also his last chance to strengthen himself.

The machine roared back to life, accompanied by an even louder uproar.

Another agonizing half hour of waiting followed.

Finally, the equipment enhancement machine stopped completely, and the notification appeared as scheduled.

[Black Blade +14 successful. Continue strengthening/discontinue.]

Note: Crystal Dewstones have been consumed. If you continue to enhance the weapon, the enhancement will fail and the Black Blade will be completely destroyed and cannot be repaired.

Upon seeing the notification that the enhancement was successful, Fang Yu smiled knowingly, and his slightly tense mind finally relaxed completely.

He picked up the black blade from the tray.

A deep purple light, like quicksilver, silently swept across the jet-black blade, its sharpness concealed yet harboring a chilling power.
