...

On the crafting table lay an armor piece and a blade, side by side.

Viktor gently placed his hand on the equipment, which glittered under the lamplight.

A white light gradually emanated from above.

Before his eyes, a line of unique text appeared.

[Do you want to spend 500,000 Geo to enhance?]

Viktor's voice sounded faintly.

"Enhance."

As the words fell, a golden light burst from Viktor's hand, floating towards the equipment, slowly fusing with the steel.

The white light began to change, gradually replaced by a golden glow, like lake water, submerging the equipment.

A blue panel materialized in front of Viktor.

[Enhancement successful.]

He examined the attribute columns of the equipment, narrowing his eyes.

[Armor: Mostle's Armor (Enhanced +5)]

[Effect: HP: +3500, Defense: +100, Elemental Resistance: +35%]

[Skill: Wear and Tear - When attacked, the enemy's weapon wear rate increases by 50%]

[Weapon: Molten Iron Blade (Enhanced +5)]

[Effect: Attack Power: +150, Fire Attribute Damage: +30%, Attack Speed: +40%]

[Skill: Flame Sword Qi - Your attacks will carry 20% fire attribute damage.]

Equipment enhancement - another special ability that players could use.

Enhancing equipment required certain conditions. For such basic ordinary equipment, the enhancement condition was to spend a large amount of Geo.

Each piece of equipment could be enhanced up to five times.

The price of each enhancement would increase, starting from 100,000 Geo, and increasing by 100,000 Geo after each enhancement.

Until the final 500,000.

But if players wanted to continue enhancing after reaching the limit of five enhancements...

Viktor looked up, and the panel appeared before his eyes again.

[Do you want to spend 1 million Geo to evolve the weapon - Note, this enhancement may fail, and if it fails, the enhancement count will be reset to zero.]

"Enhance."

Viktor didn't hesitate and calmly stated his decision.

As the words fell, a golden light surged from his hand, transforming into an enormous golden hammer, smashing down hard on the not-so-large workbench.

In an instant, golden light began to reflect from the steel, and flames began to dance on the equipment.

The armor in front of him had now become as small as a skeleton, with the steel on it turning sharp and vibrant.

The bone spikes embedded around the armor made it even more intimidating.

[Armor: Mostle's Indomitable Will]

[Effect: HP: +5500, Defense: +200, All Resistance: +50%]

[Skill: Indomitable Thorns - When attacked, the enemy's weapon wear rate increases by 80%, and 30% of the damage from this attack is returned.]

The evolved armor had reached its peak and could no longer be enhanced by players.

Viktor set it aside and turned his attention to the blade.

The same text appeared before his eyes, and Viktor calmly placed his hand on the blade.

But the moment he touched it, the golden light began to waver.

The glow gradually dimmed, and then wisps of black smoke rose from the equipment.

Viktor narrowed his eyes, seeming to have anticipated this outcome.

Enhancement failed.

For equipment that fails to evolve, its enhancement value resets to zero.

This meant that the 1.5 million Geo previously invested in this weapon was all wasted.

Vega stood by, watching the golden light continuously emitting from Viktor's palm, marveling.

It could clearly sense that the equipment that had undergone the baptism of golden light had become much stronger.

"I'm very curious, what kind of power is this exactly?"

"The power of money."

Viktor casually replied, watching the amount of Geo in his account rapidly dwindling, without much fluctuation in his heart.

For a professional player, the currency in the game was just a string of numbers.

Being able to convert this string of numbers into a guarantee to strengthen oneself was the most important thing.

Moreover, this was money he had extorted for free anyway.

He didn't feel any pain at the loss.

But after the first successful evolution of the armor, his luck turned sour.

Evolving over and over again, the Geo decreased continuously like a flowing stream.

It took nearly 30 million Geo before finally crafting a successfully breakthrough long sword.

Viktor examined the blade as the golden light gradually dissipated, slowly picking it up.

On the straight blade, slanted spikes appeared on both sides. Mysterious golden runes were inlaid on the blade, as if there was an extremely special spirit constantly roaring.

The runes began to glow faintly, starting from the base of the blade, red light gradually spread across the entire steel.

[Weapon: Wrath of the Fire God]

[Effect: Attack Power: +300, Fire Attribute Damage: +50%, Attack Speed: +60%]

[Skill: Resentment - Your attacks will carry 50% fire attribute damage, and after a certain charging time, can release a sword qi at most, dealing 400% damage of this attack]

"Not bad."

Viktor examined it for a while, then let go. The blade quickly vanished in mid-air, stored in his backpack.

There were still a hundred pieces of equipment left, piled up in the corner like a small mountain.

Viktor had only evolved two pieces of equipment, and evolving the remaining equipment would require too much Geo.

Moreover, if it failed once, it would be a complete waste.

Quit while you're ahead.

Viktor's finger pointed in the air, storing two of the equipment in his backpack.

"Next, it's time to test their power."

He turned and walked towards the outside, and Vega quickly flapped its wings and flew to his shoulder.

The heavy wooden door of the basement creaked open, then slammed shut.

A dull sound echoed throughout the basement.

.....

Darkness, all darkness.

A small house built entirely of stone, without even a lamp lit.

Elsa, sleeping in the depths of darkness, sat leaning on the bed, her eyes hollow, her head lowered.

As if she had completely lost consciousness.

It had been three days since she left the Reiser family.

During these three days, Elsa's state had been like this.

Whenever she thought of that war magic released by Viktor.

Her body would uncontrollably start to tremble.

That terrible killing scene could flash before her eyes.

The door slowly opened, a beam of light shot in from the high doorway, shining on Elsa's pale and haggard face.

After not seeing sunlight for a long time, she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light.

Pain filled her eyes.

Gradually adapting to the light, she saw the person walking into the room.

Ding dong -

Two crisp sounds, that was the sound of metal colliding with rock.

Two pieces of equipment were thrown onto the ground.

Elsa slowly lowered her head, looking at the armor and blade that had fallen on the ground, her mind a bit dazed.

When she was in the Reiser family, she had seen that armor.

It was made from parts dropped by a rare monster called Mostle.

And the other blade, Elsa also knew.

Made from rare molten iron in the volcano, its power was not to be underestimated.

These extremely precious equipment were all prepared for the Reiser family's subjugation team.

Looking at them, Elsa was very clear that the Reiser family had agreed to compensate Viktor.

"Put it on, take up the weapon."

The familiar cold voice sounded, and Elsa numbly stood up, cleanly and neatly taking off the cloth armor wrapped around her body in front of Viktor.

She didn't care at all about her exposed skin, bent down, easily put on the armor, and picked up the blade.

The moment she put on the armor, she felt an extremely powerful force added to her body.

This was unreasonable.

If this was equipment brought from the Reiser family, it couldn't possibly bring such an obvious power to the user.

She could hardly believe it, but the feeling in her body wouldn't lie.

Viktor quietly looked at the level and HP above Elsa's head.

Lv41

The effect was very obvious.

This equipment had increased her HP by a lot.

What Elsa was wearing now were those ordinary armor and weapons enhanced to the extreme.

However, he still hoped to see Elsa's performance in actual combat.

So, he looked at Elsa and said.

"Don't you want to see Cindy?"

At the sound of his voice, Elsa slowly raised her head and looked at Viktor.

In her hollow eyes, there was finally some fluctuation.

"Then follow me."

As the words fell, Viktor left the small house.

Elsa hurriedly followed behind, the armor on her body did not make her feel any hindrance.

Instead, she felt that her body had become much lighter.

She followed behind Viktor like this, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Viktor's neck.

Now Viktor seemed to be completely unguarded...

Elsa couldn't help but have an idea.

If now, she were to sneak attack him...

Could she succeed?

Once this idea appeared, it wouldn't go away.

Now, she was wearing extremely powerful armor.

The sharp blade in her hand gave her unimaginable power.

Now, if she sneak attacked, it must work.

Because he's just a mage, under such close-range conditions, a mage couldn't resist the attack of an assassin of the same level.

Couldn't resist... right?

Suddenly, Elsa recalled the scene of her confrontation with Viktor.

In close combat, she was completely crushed.

There was no hope of winning at all.

The idea that had just arisen disappeared without a trace.

At some point, Viktor had completely crushed all of her confidence.

Even if she now had powerful strength, even if the opportunity was within reach.

She would also think.

Viktor was just deliberately selling her a flaw.

Or rather, he simply wouldn't care about her sneak attack.

He was very strong, strong to the point of being unreasonable.

Even if she really did sneak attack in advance.

It would probably be easily dealt with by Viktor.

Elsa completely lost the desire to take action.

She lowered her head and continued to follow behind Viktor.

Just as she lowered her head, she didn't notice.

The eyes of that black crow were watching her at all times.
