This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, put the sledgehammer on his shoulder, and knocked on the table in front of him with his other hand.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

The old blacksmith heard the sound and looked over. He remained silent and there was no emotion in his eyes.

"The weapon is quite good."

Ye Yi kept looking into the other person's eyes and said.

"It's very easy for me to swing it, and it should be the same when killing enemies. One blow of the hammer can smash someone's head into the chest..."

"What the hell are you farting at?"

The old blacksmith rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"With a hammer this big and heavy, if you hit it hard enough, it can smash someone into pieces!"

"is it?"

He raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Then I'll go back and find some more people to try."

"Your killing is so severe."

"Look at what you're saying. You made weapons for me, didn't you use them to kill the enemy?"

"If you don't kill more, how will you prove your worth and whether this weapon has any value as a weapon?"

"Qu]n take off the umbrella, blame, stand in the room, eight..."

The old blacksmith remained silent, staring at Ye Yiyi with a raised lip corner and raised eyebrows.

He knew that Ye Yiyi was comforting him from a different angle. Even if he was not a master craftsman and could not make the "instrument" that only a master craftsman could cast, it didn't matter.

There is no essential difference between weapons forged by royal craftsmen and weapons forged by ordinary craftsmen.

Because weapons are made to be used by people.

If not used, the forger and the weapon are worthless, no matter whether he is a royal craftsman or an ordinary craftsman.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and shook his head, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sad but relieved smile.

"You're right. If a weapon isn't used to kill the enemy, then the value of the forger and the weapon itself cannot be fully realized..."

"So don't worry, I'll kill more of them with the stuff you built."

Ye Yiyi also smiled, changed the subject, and pushed the double-headed axe forward.

"Look at this thing of mine. The durability of my combat skills drops more excitingly than a roller coaster. What's going on?"

"Oh, the weapon of the giant demon warrior, can I see it?"

The old blacksmith was slightly surprised. He put aside his previous emotions, picked up the weapon and examined it carefully, then looked up with a strange expression.

"What kind of fighting technique did you use with this thing earlier?"

"The Crushing Roar of the Vacuum Seat, the inherited combat technique of the Kingchoir Knights."

"Oh, that's okay."

The old blacksmith showed an expression of sudden realization when he heard this, nodded and put down his weapon.

"No problem, this is normal."

"Some powerful combat skills are a direct manifestation of certain powers and will quickly deplete weapon durability."

"The Kingchoir's combat skills are powered by the King. Not only will they deplete the weapon's durability, but they will also place a heavy burden on the user!"

"When using powerful combat techniques for a long time, ordinary weapons will break down before the person does. While weapons derived from the same power as the combat techniques can last longer, the person cannot withstand the burden and will be countered by the power of the combat techniques!"

"That's true..."

Ye Yiyi frowned. The former was referring to him, while the latter was referring to Alice's situation.

The old blacksmith then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, your combat skill stopped within two seconds of being released, right?"

"Yes, so it's enough to use a weapon with the same power as the combat technique?"

For example, the "Vacuum Seat" is a power born from the same true spirit echo as the "Crushing Roar". If this is not the same origin, then there is no such thing as a common origin.

"That's right."

Hearing this, the old blacksmith nodded, but his expression became strange when he looked at Ye Yiyi.

"But for a kid like you, no matter how big the field is, it can't withstand the ploughing of a bull like you... Have you forgotten the Pisan Seat?"

"How could I possibly forget..."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips.

"Anyway, take it easy. Leave this axe with me for now. I can fix it and use it again later."

"to make."

Then Ye Yiyi took out the newly acquired Yuxing Gun and showed it to the old blacksmith.

After looking at it for a while, the other party's eyes lit up and he kept it with great interest. He then asked Ye Yiyi for a few pieces of ore, saying that they could help him make some improvements, such as adjusting human-machine performance, strengthening some components, and doing some maintenance.

Ye Yiyi had no objection to this, so he made an appointment to pick it up, then left the forging room and went to the main hall to find the saint.

It's time for the nearly one million soul echoes in his body to be transformed into real power.

Chapter 532 New features, new goals.

When Ye Yiyi arrived at the hall, the saint had already put down the book and was waiting for me to come.

"Where's Alice? Still not up?"

He looked around the empty hall, asked casually, walked to the saint, and naturally extended his hand.

"Lady Alice woke up early this morning and went deep into the palace, but she didn't say what she was going to do."

The saint answered and took Ye Yiyi's hand. A faint light bloomed in the gap between their palms.

"Deep in the palace?"

Ye Yiyi pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

The Cursed Hall is a one-to-one replica of the Universal Hall. For Alice, there is no place more familiar than this place.

She went deeper into the hall, simply to find something familiar.

But unfortunately, the explorable range of the Cursed Hall in the early stage of the game is extremely limited, and some areas are blocked by fog and cannot be explored for the time being.

If Alice wanted to go to those places, she would most likely be disappointed.

Those areas cannot be unlocked without killing the King of Decline.

By the same token, the Saint's personal side quest can only officially begin after the area is unlocked.

His eyes swept over the saint in front of him who closed her eyes and chanted something in a low voice. Ye Yiyi gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on the light curtain.

Soul Echo - 906800.

Current soul echoes: 73234.

A total of 980034 soul echoes, minus the 906800 required for upgrading, are converted into exactly 10 attribute points.

According to the convention, the mage character is upgraded first, and the intelligence must be maxed out first. As for the remaining points after maxing out, Ye Yiyi added them to skills!

Level 118 → 128↑

Intelligence 92 → 100↑

技巧23（20＋3）→25（22＋3）↑

The original skill attribute of 20 was increased by 3 points with the help of the "Weapon Master" characteristic. Now with 2 points added, it just reaches the level required to obtain the characteristic.

In this way, two intelligence characteristics and one skill characteristic are obtained, for a total of three characteristics.

Ye Yiyi's eyes moved, and he opened his personal light curtain to check the newly acquired characteristics.

First, the technical features:

[Skill Characteristics Change (25)]: Greatly improves dodge performance, "roll" is enhanced to "move"; improves torso sensitivity, increases casting speed, and increases weapon attack speed.

"This feature is not bad. It's like having an additional displacement skill that doesn't consume mana."

Ye Yiyi nodded with satisfaction.

The basic standing ability in the game is rolling, and after acquiring this feature, it is upgraded to "moving".

The effect in the game is to change the rolling action module without changing the invincibility frame, shorten the forward and backward swing time, and reduce energy consumption.

This is similar to the Strength trait of the same level (25), which can greatly increase jumping height. It is an extremely useful trait that can enhance the character's basic performance.

After all, the basic performance of a soul-wandering character is no different from that of polio.

As a Souls-like game, the character performance in the early stages of "Stagnation Curse" is naturally similar.

But once the level is raised and the attributes are improved, the improvement in character performance will be quite terrifying.

Although the enemy's performance will also be improved, it is unlikely that there will be a situation like polio attacking an Olympic athlete.

After reading the skill description, Ye Yiyi couldn't wait to look at the intelligence characteristics.

[Spirit of Interwoven Intelligence (95)]: Influenced by the spirit, the body can be transformed into a crystallized or magical form.

Crystallized form: The body turns into crystals, becoming immune to magical damage, greatly increasing all attribute resistances, and significantly increasing the power of offensive magic;

Magical Form: The body is transformed into pure magic, immune to most physical damage, greatly improving resistance to abnormal attributes, and the magic cast will not be dispelled over time;

Able to communicate with the world's impressions through interwoven spirits, and cast magic without a catalyst;

When using catalysts to cast magic, you can get additional bonuses;

"Fuck! Awesome!"

After reading the first intelligence characteristic, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but swear.

Isn't this characteristic effect just transformation?

The former transforms into a crystal man, ignoring most magic attacks, greatly weakening the damage of long-range hymns, and can also greatly increase magic attack power, directly transforming into an ultra-long-range magic turret!

As long as he has enough mana, he can destroy an entire army by himself. No matter how many come, they will all die under the endless and continuous magic bombardment.

The latter's magical form is even more amazing. It can directly be immune to most physical damage. In a sense, it has lost its entity, which is equivalent to becoming a true evil spirit.

If the former is a fort, then the latter is a ghost.

Coupled with the fact that the magic he casts will not disappear over time, he can easily wander around with a group of magical comets.

It is equivalent to a magical ghost that cannot be touched or killed, can freely enter and exit any area, and possesses powerful strength.

Most importantly, he can now cast magic without a catalyst!

"This 95th feature is so awesome, what about 100th?"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help swallowing and continued to look at the next feature.

[The Impression of the Metaphysical World of the Past]: The soul becomes an impression, engraved deep within the Hall of Impressions;

After physical death, one can return from the memory of the world;

When casting a spell, it can be transformed into magic, or traced back to the original impression; ???; ???; ???; ???;

Ye Yiyi: “???”

He stared at the last three question marks for a while, and before he could react, he saw another prompt pop up on the screen.

[Intelligence attribute increased to 100, the door to the Hall of Impression is now open to you! ]

[Raising Concentration, Faith, and Mysticism to 100 unlocks the other effects of the "Metaphysical"!]

[When using other point allocation templates, you can also obtain the unlocked "Metaphysical" feature bonus! ]

"This……"

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and read the instructions on the light screen carefully. Her mind was full of thoughts and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"So, the characteristics of this metaphysical being are actually the common characteristics of the four attributes of intelligence, faith, concentration, and mystery reaching their maximum values?"

"Thinking carefully, these attributes seem to be above the physical body, or rather, they rely on the attributes of the soul?"

"So, if any one of the four attributes of health, stamina, strength, and skill can be raised to 100, perhaps a trait similar to 'the physical being' can be unlocked?"
