Although the Crimson Iron Ring +3 had already reached full score equipment status with a green quality, it was of no use to Zhang Yanhang. He needed the Crimson Iron Ring of blue quality. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang immediately started the fusion of the Crimson Iron Ring +4. Once this fusion was completed, he would definitely see the blue quality Crimson Iron Ring.
As expected, when Zhang Yanhang began the fusion of the Crimson Iron Ring +4, the speed of the fusion significantly decreased. If put into words, it was akin to Zhang Yanhang delaying his wages and then repeating his previous promise again, saying that if they were willing to wait another hour, he would settle the wages immediately.
But by this time, the handsome men and beautiful women in the dance hall, having been deceived once, no longer believed his words. They no longer cared about the wages and just wanted to forcibly leave but were driven back by the security under Zhang Yanhang’s command.
In such circumstances, the handsome men and beautiful women in the dance hall could only choose to trust Zhang Yanhang one last time. With discontent on their faces, they went back to dance for another hour. However, due to emotional issues, a lot of irregularities occurred in their dance moves.
Therefore, judging by the difficultyof this fusion, Zhang Yanhang felt that the Crimson Iron Ring could probably endure only one or two more fusions before reaching its limit. Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang looked at the attribute list of the Crimson Iron Ring +4 and found that after upgrading to +4, it had successfully progressed to blue quality.

[Introduction: For those joyful buyers who wear the excrement of Crimson Iron Ants on their bodies and even hug and kiss them, I never reveal the origin of the Crimson Iron—it comes from a Nameless Blacksmith who just wants to silently make money.]
"After upgrading to blue quality, the requirement for the Crimson Iron Ring actually increased, from an initial five charm points to now ten charm points. Luckily, it didn’t increase further; otherwise, my current eleven charm points would not be enough to equip it."
Because charm was not a main attribute, Zhang Yanhang had never actively increased his charm attribute, resulting in it being considerably low. Besides the initial six charm points, he only incidentally increased another two charm points while improving his Limitless Universe Skill.
The remaining three points were the bonus from the set effect. That meant, in fact, his naked charm attribute was only eight points, not even reaching double digits, compared to those whose main attributes were already twenty-five points even in a naked state, his charm attribute, as a sub-attribute, was indeed very poor.
But Zhang Yanhang thought that it didn’t really matter if his charm attribute was poor; after all, charm cannot boost combat power. Asking him to use his free attribute points to increase his charm was absolutely impossible.
Zhang Yanhang then put on all three of the fused Crimson Iron Rings +4 on his fingers, and surprisingly, he found that they really could activate the bonus effects. Zhang Yanhang had initially been worried about potential quantity restrictions, wondering if he could only wear one or two rings. But now, all three rings were able to normally provide the bonus effects without any restrictions.
"If there really are no quantity restrictions, I have ten fingers, which means I could wear ten rings..." Zhang Yanhang thought about it and put the previously isolated Crimson Iron Ring +2, Crimson Iron Ring +1, and a normal Crimson Iron Ring all on his fingers.
After he had filled all the fingers on his left hand, Zhang Yanhang placed the most ordinary Crimson Iron Ring on the index finger of his right hand.
Although normally wearing a ring on this position indicates that the wearer is single and eager to start a new romantic relationship, this had nothing to do with Zhang Yanhang; he was just following the order of wearing.
In the subsequent cleanup of the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, Zhang Yanhang would surely collect more Crimson Iron Rings, and he would eventually have rings on all ten of his fingers.
After putting on the remaining three rings, Zhang Yanhang found that these rings also normally provided a bonus effect. "Since it’s so flexible, is it possible for me to wear even more rings?"
Zhang Yanhang then tested wearing two rings on the same finger, but this time, only the ring with the higher number of fusion times activated its bonus effect.
"It seems this matryoshka method doesn’t quite work, but ten rings are already a lot. If they could all upgrade to blue quality, they would at least provide me with a ten-point charm attribute bonus."
After resolving the issue with the Crimson Iron Rings, Zhang Yanhang continued to fuse the Crimson Iron Heart. Unlike fingers, he only had one neck, so he could only wear one necklace. Therefore, rather than leave it empty, he might as well fuse it into a stronger Crimson Iron Heart +1.
After wasting a little time, a brand-new Crimson Iron Heart +1 appeared before Zhang Yanhang, and he immediately checked the attribute list of the Crimson Iron Heart +1.
[Crimson Iron Heart (Unamed) +1]
[Origin: Main World, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Room 505, Zhang Yanhang.]
[Defensive Power: 33]
[Additional Attributes: Flame Resistance +5.3% (+1.3%).]

[Synopsis: The Crimson Iron Equipment I sell is renowned for its excellent quality and great prices, and as my fame gradually increases through word-of-mouth among buyers, one day, a newly debuted Brave Apprentice approached me, asking for the best sword in the village but saying he was temporarily out of money. He promised that the day he achieved fame and success, he would repay me a hundredfold.
But if the Brave Apprentice is willing to lick a few more Crimson Iron Balls, I might actually consider letting him have a better Crimson Iron Sword on credit. — From a Nameless Blacksmith who just wants to make money quietly.]
"The charm attribute value bonus is still just one point; perhaps several more fusions are needed to increase the bonus of the additional attributes."
After putting the Crimson Iron Heart around his neck, Zhang Yanhang roughly calculated that his flame resistance and acid resistance, with the support of six Crimson Iron Rings and a Crimson Iron Heart, had increased by about 23.3% in total.
