"The Attribute list for the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard seems similar to that of the pre-modified Crimson Iron Teeth, with no change in the Additional Attributes due to the transformation. It still provides a bonus of 1 point to the Charm attribute and 3.8% to both Flame Resistance and Acid Resistance.
Although it’s gratifying that the bonus effects haven’t changed, the critical part is whether I can enjoy this bonus or not. If I can’t, then it means the transformation was a failure."
Zhang Yanhang picked up the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard from the Alchemy Array and placed it on his teeth. It must be said, perhaps because he had previously bitten into a mold, that the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard fit snugly and was unexpectedly comfortable.
After fitting the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened his Attribute list to see whether he had gained the bonus from the Crimson Iron Teeth.
[Strength: 50 (+5[-1])]
[Constitution: 50 (+5[-2])]
[Intelligence: 49 (+5)]
"My Charm attribute really did increase by one point, growing from the original thirty-seven to thirty-eight now..."
Zhang Yanhang had always thought his plan to modify the Crimson Iron Teeth was rather unreliable, but to his surprise, it had succeeded on the first try. This left him quite astonished.
"If only I had had this kind of speed when I was making the Ant Acid Bullets..." Although Zhang Yanhang said this, he also knew that transformation and manufacturing were completely different matters and not really comparable.
"Now that it has been a success, should I immediately start the fusion with the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard +4?"
Zhang Yanhang placed the mold and the other fifteen sets of Crimson Iron Teeth into the Alchemy Array to start the transformation process. Logically, Zhang Yanhang should have been more careful and test another set of Crimson Iron Teeth Guards to confirm that the initial success wasn’t a fluke.
However, he felt the possibility of that happening was quite low, so he chose to transform the fifteen sets of Crimson Iron Teeth together, as this would be faster.
The Alchemy Array reactivated, and the fifteen sets of Crimson Iron Teeth quickly melted into fifteen pools of crimson liquid metal and began to form their shape, one by one.
As it was a simple transformation, Zhang Yanhang didn’t spend much time on it, and after transforming the fifteen sets of Crimson Iron Teeth, he took off the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard from his mouth and placed it into the Alchemy Array to fuse with the other fifteen sets.
Zhang Yanhang silently manipulated the fusion of the Crimson Iron Teeth Guards inside the Alchemy Array. The whole process was smooth and without a hitch, as a mere +4 fusion posed no difficulty for Zhang Yanhang; there was no possibility of failure.
After the fusion was complete, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to check the Attribute list of the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard +4. But when he saw the first line, he suddenly felt that the unnamed tag hanging behind the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard +4 was an eyesore, so he simply changed the name of the Crimson Iron Teeth Guard +4.
[Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +4]
[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, Core Area, Zhang Yanhang.]
[Defensive Power: 33]
[Additional Attributes: Flame Resistance +8.6% (+4.8%).]
[Additional Attributes: Acid Resistance +8.6% (+4.8%).]
[Additional Attributes: Charm +2 (+1).]
[Usage Requirements: Charm 20 points.]
[Score: 95 (Purple Items range from 71 to 150 in Score).]
[Introduction: This was originally an unremarkable but well-crafted set of Crimson Iron Teeth, but as the user, novice Alchemist Zhang Yanhang, had healthy teeth preventing normal use, he transformed it after some modifications into a set of Crimson Iron Teeth Guards.]
That’s right, Zhang Yanhang had changed the plain Crimson Iron Teeth Guard into the somewhat chuunibyou-filled Crimson Iron Shark Teeth. As for the reason being so chuunibyou, that was naturally because this piece of equipment was only for his eyes, so he let the name fly free along with the design.
"After four fusions, the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth successfully advanced to Purple Quality, with the bonus to the Charm attribute value increasing from one point to two points, and the bonus to Flame Resistance and Acid Resistance also increased by 4.8%. Content originally comes from novèlfire.net
Speaking of which, if I include this part of the bonus effect from the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, my current bonus for Flame Resistance and Acid Resistance should have exceeded one hundred percent, right?"
Zhang Yanhang remembered that his total bonus to Flame Resistance and Acid Resistance was previously 98.4%, and now with this additional 8.6% from the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, he successfully raised his bonus to 107%, breaking through one hundred percent.
After quickly checking the Attribute list of the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +4, Zhang Yanhang immediately wore it on his teeth. He moved his jaw slightly, causing a somewhat grating metallic friction sound, somewhat reminiscent of the noise of long nails scraping a blackboard.
"This thing’s practicality is really quite low after all, doomed to only serve as a bonus to attributes." Zhang Yanhang felt a momentary sentiment then immediately switched the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth to hidden status.
Zhang Yanhang moved his jaw again, this time producing only the normal sound of teeth grinding. Compared to false teeth and guards, he undoubtedly preferred his original teeth.
After equipping the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, Zhang Yanhang reopened his Attribute list to see if the bonuses were in place.
[Strength: 50 (+5[-1])]
[Constitution: 50 (+5[-2])]
[Intelligence: 49 (+5)]
"My Charm attribute has risen to thirty-nine points, just one shy of the small goal of forty, but I really don’t seem to have any other Artifact or Equipment or any related channels to continue enhancing the Charm attribute...
No, that’s not right; I haven’t been to the Achievement Vending Machine yet; there might be achievements that can help boost the Charm attribute value."
Since most of the Equipment and Artifacts obtained from the Small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu were primarily for enhancing the Charm attribute value, Zhang Yanhang thought it reasonable that the Achievement Vending Machine there should also have achievements that provide a bonus to the Charm attribute value.
