Chapter Twenty: Silver Five-Star Insect Demon Gun

  "Equipment upgrade?" Zhang Feng was completely awake now.

  Zhang Feng wasn't excited about making money, but he had always been concerned with equipment upgrades.

  Only by obtaining stronger equipment can he make it through this damned second-rate battlefield and back home.

  So Xiaopang's words caught Zhang Feng's attention.

  "I've already started learning how to craft silver equipment. However, from the information Arroyo inadvertently revealed, I found that the probability of directly crafting gold equipment is very low, even lower than the probability of rare monsters dropping gene fragments. So, apart from crafting it directly, another way to obtain gold equipment is to upgrade from silver equipment."

  Zhang Feng wasn't stupid either and immediately reacted by saying: "You mean to say that White Silver needs Gold to upgrade to Yellow Gold?"

  "Not bad. White silver equipment that reaches five stars actually has the properties of one-star gold. But the equipment is still white silver five-star. And using gold to upgrade white silver five-star equipment will directly reach two-star gold, and the more gold used, the better the attributes. If it can be upgraded at a 1:1 ratio with the same weight as white silver equipment, it will reach the best quality. So I think——"

  Xiao Pang paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Did you understand?"

  Zhang Feng stood up and stared at Xiao Pang: "You mean you want to hoard gold?"

  Zhang Feng was indeed unenthusiastic about getting rich. However, gold is a necessary material for equipment to transition from silver to gold.

  That is to say, it relates to equipment upgrades.

  If it were just one piece of equipment, he wouldn't mind too much, but this involved a full set of equipment, requiring a huge amount of gold, and he had to take it seriously.

  "Not bad. Now gold can't even be exchanged for a piece of meat, it's as worthless as rotten cabbage. 50,000 Earth coins can buy 1,000 kilograms of gold. As long as we wait until everyone knows the method to turn silver into gold is made public, once the price of gold rises, we'll make a huge profit."

  Zhang Feng sank into silence for a moment, then said: "A set of Glory equipment weighs nearly 150 kilograms. To upgrade to a set of gold equipment requires 150 kilograms of gold. This is too large an amount. So we must stock up before the price of gold rises. Even if we don't sell it, it's much better than spending money to buy it later."

  "So I'm telling you, this time we're going to get rich. We stockpiled gold when the price was low, and now that it's high, we can release a large amount. When you want to upgrade your equipment later, you'll have to buy gold. All the gold will be in our hands, aren't we going to make a profit?"

  Zhang Feng suddenly felt a black line on his forehead and found that he and Xiao Pang were two completely different attitudes.

  This kid just wants to make money, but what he's thinking is how to spend less money to upgrade his equipment.

  "Get Blue Orchid and them over here, we need to make a good plan." Zhang Feng also knew that things couldn't be delayed.

  Since Arroyo was able to get away with it once, she will certainly be able to get away with it again.

  Even if they don't hoard, they must ensure the equipment for four people. Several hundred kilograms of gold is not several hundred kilograms of iron, where can this thing be found so easily?

  "No need to look anymore, Xiao Pang has already leaked a bit to us."

  The tent flap opened and Blue Orchid, Li Lao Shi, and Lu Jun walked in together.

  The army's eyes lit up and said: "Xiao Pang asked me for 50,000 Earth coins to buy 1,000 catties of yellow millet, this is too little!"

  The army took out a small cloth bag from the ring and threw it directly to Xiaopang, saying: "This is the total savings of me, Lanlan, and Lao Shi, thirteen million Earth coins. Since your news comes from Aloyo, it must be 100% true. If we want to hoard, we should hoard all the gold in the entire camp. Hmm, no one has gone to rob the gold shops around the camp. Damn, after we go out, we will sweep away all these gold shops."

  The army became more and more excited as they spoke, finally clenching their fists and waving them with force: "The national treasury, there must be gold stored inside, go pry it open."

  "Right, right, wherever there's gold, not a single one will be left behind." Xiao Pang's excited face turned bright red, his heart racing wildly. "Not to mention gold, white gold, diamonds, and precious stones, none of them will be spared either."

  Zhang Feng saw Lu Jun and Xiao Pang so excited, took out his own Earth Coin and said: "I have 100,000 here, since everyone says they want to play big, let's play even bigger."

  Xiao Pang snatched Zhang Feng's wallet and hugged it excitedly: "230,000, this time I really got rich."

  "Uh-huh."

  The army and Xiao Pang nodded vigorously together, like two cunning businessmen plotting some conspiracy.

  Li Lao Shi puffed on his cigarette and said: "Kids, be careful, if someone finds out, we won't need to sweep anymore."

  Xiao Pang smiled smugly and said, "Proceed in secret, trust me. With my IQ, I'll squeeze out their last gold tooth without them even realizing my goal. I know a big shot who's always hanging around Arroyo trying to exchange gold for food and equipment. Damn it, I heard he has over 100 kilograms of gold, definitely not a good thing. Once I've squeezed him dry, when the time comes and gold appreciates in value, I'll make him cry."

  "Don't mention crying him to death, I think he's already had the heart to hang himself." Lu Jun was grinning from ear to ear, his sly face almost twisted together.

  Li Lao Shi put away his tobacco pouch and said, "I remember that next to where I live there's a villa, it's said to be owned by a high-ranking official, with many gold statues and gold jewelry. Once, a thief broke in, but the thief eventually returned everything voluntarily. I'll go take a look."

  The army also said: "I know several underground money houses, and there is gold. Moreover, the mutation came too quickly, I'm afraid they didn't have time to transfer."

  “……”

  Lanlan remained silent all along, and only then said: "Since we've decided to do it, be careful and don't get discovered."

  "Don't worry, we should trust our own people." Xiao Pang chuckled.

  A few people shared with each other places they knew might have hidden gold.

  They finally decided to go back and equip themselves, and exchange a few storage rings for emergency use.

  Also, we need to gear up. This time, the four of us are going to sweep through the second-level battlefield, who knows what dangers we'll encounter, we must ensure our strongest combat power.

  After several people discussed it, they separated and searched for gold individually.

  Zhang Feng kept Xiao Pang behind and said: "I got a piece of worm demon stone, help me upgrade the worm demon gun again."

  Saying so, Zhang Feng handed over the Worm Demon Gun and the Worm Demon Stone to Xiao Pang.

  "Just wait a moment." Xiao Pang skillfully took over the two things and began to merge them.

  During this time in Arroyo, he also mastered some skills. Now it's all coming together and doesn't require too much fat, and the speed has increased a lot.

  In less than ten minutes, Xiao Pang had already completed the fusion of the Insect Demon Stone.

  Inferno Beetle Cannon

  Quality: White Silver (5 stars)

  Attributes: Strength increased by 200 jin. Flame resistance increased by 30 points.

  Skills:

  Passive Skill - Pierce: Deals 200% physical damage to defensive equipment. Piercing also deals an additional 25% attribute damage. Normal attacks add 230 flame damage.

  Passive Skill - Soul Absorption: Each time a monster is killed, its soul can be absorbed and stored. Soul Collection: 350/2000.

  Active Skill - Rapid Strike: Consumes 100 souls to initiate a strike, with a range of 25 meters. During the strike, all life forms in front will receive an attack dealing 300% strength damage and be stunned for 5 meters. Cooldown time is 1 hour.

  Active Skill - Soul Explosion: Releases a blast of energy collected from 200 souls, dealing 250 fire damage to all living beings within a 5-meter radius.

  White Silver Five Stars, already has the properties of Golden One Star.

  The effect of the Demon Gun upgrade is quite obvious, and some attributes even surprised Zhang Feng.

  A strength increase of one hundred catties, this attribute is extremely important for Zhang Feng who is currently on a path of strength.

  The passive skill's Piercing has turned into a 200% power strike, which is equivalent to dealing 200% power damage to any life with every shot.

  Think about it. In the past, his own skills could only achieve a 200% power attack, and there was still a time limit.

  Now, even a casual shot can cause such results, and this doesn't even require cooldown time to cause damage that previously not even skills could guarantee, this change is even level-ignoring, directly causing damage.

  The number of soul collections has been increased to two thousand, which is four times the original amount.

  The second change is a rapid dash, dealing triple damage to life that ignores this damage and causes a five-meter knockback. And no longer ignore the level, which is the best news for Zhang Feng.

  There used to be level restrictions. Even if it was clear that a normal attack from a 7th-level life could kill in one hit, the result after using skills would not work, which is quite frustrating.

  Now he is finally unrestricted and Zhang Feng can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  Attacks and damage are all based on ability, which makes it a bit more fair.

  The attribute increase of the Insect Demon Gun caused his combat power assessment to rise by another 400 points.

  With 9,800 points of combat power, Zhang Feng couldn't think of anyone in the camp who could surpass him.

  After they finished, Zhang Feng and Xiao Pang separated and went to do their own parts.

  Little fatty rushes to collect gold coins in a hurry.

  Every inch of time is worth an inch of gold, Xiao Pang really doesn't dare to waste a single moment.

  Zhang Feng first found Atuo and said: "Mr. Atuo, I believe you can use these dice."

  "Young man, you've done well, let me see how much in total."

  The old man saw Zhang Feng, took over the dice and counted them, and said with satisfaction: "Sixteen bronze coins, five silver coins, two gold coins, at the original price, these are worth a total of 360 points." As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and threw out a brilliant light.

  The words in front of Zhang Feng showed that he now had 860 honor points.

  With five hundred and one equipment, plus a twenty percent discount calculation, he could still get two pieces of Secret Armor and have sixty points left over.

  "Young man, will you continue to exchange for Mysterious Armor?"

  "Yes." Zhang Feng nodded.

  "What parts do you want to exchange this time?"

  "Combat boots and gloves." Zhang Feng said after taking a look.

  "Alright, I'll give you 800 honor points."

  The old man smiled and waved his hand, casting a beam of light on Zhang Feng's body. At the same time, Zhang Feng saw 800 points of honor value disappear, knowing that the exchange was successful.
