Chapter 119 Equipment Upgrade

Before Feng Bujue’s eyes appeared a pair of mid-length boots, the shafts reaching just over the ankles. They were made of exquisite black leather, adorned with dark-colored纹理 (wenli – textured patterns). At first glance, they resembled cloud-patterned boots, but upon closer inspection, the patterns were not curves but geometric designs.

"Hmm... although I got something like the One-Hit Kill Handgun before, this should be the first legendary equipment that truly belongs to me... I'm a little excited just thinking about it," Feng Bujue said, looking at the equipment before him. "But... this thing is ridiculously strong... It's too much."

As he muttered, he took off his Jazz Dance shoes. At this moment, this veteran equipment that had accompanied him for so long finally came to a natural end and was added to the list of items "soon to enter the shredder."

"Sir Matthews, your will shall be inherited by my next legendary equipment, rest assured," Brother Jue bid farewell to the Jazz Dance in a chuuni (delusional) tone, placing it temporarily in the warehouse. Then, he excitedly put on the new foot equipment.

"With this, plus the skill combinations I've painstakingly put together in the last few days..." Feng Bujue mused, "Shouldn't be a problem, right..." In his heart, he still wasn't entirely sure.

Before the final battle, let's take another look at Brother Jue's current data:

Title: [The Hate Magnet], Title Ability: [Hate Furnace]

Experience: 2100000043000000, Skill Points: 306, Game Coins: 1560000.

Specializations: General B, Machinery C, Reconnaissance D, Fighting B, Shooting C, Medical D, Spirit Art C, Summoning C.

Inventory (10/15): Mario's Pipe Wrench, Desert Eagle-500 (5/20), Composite Anti-Gravity Catapult, Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch, Vajra Bell, Survival Value Supplement (Medium) *5, Endless Grenade Magazine, WJq-308 Military Shovel (Indestructible), I-Can't-Believe-It-Works Mushroom *1, Deceptive Pocket Watch.

Equipment: Death Poker (Psionic Weapon), Echo Armor, Artemis' Embrace, Implanted Alchemical Amplification Device, Ta Xu, Lady Phantom's Caress.

Storage (2/10): Jazz Dance, Jigsaw Card - Strawberry.

Skill Bar (11/12): [Not-So-Careless Repair], [Spirit Sense Focus Art], [Ice Mage's Perseverance], [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist], [Summoning Art - Musashi Koganei], [Moon Step], [Rankyaku], [Flying Sand Turns in the Wind], [Evil King's Flaming Murder Hellfire], [Kikoho], [Summoning Art - Masun]

It's not hard to see that Brother Jue's combat power has reached new heights in these five days.

Of course, this is also normal. The change in attitude is key; when he treats the game as an important, serious matter... he has the ability to reach this level.

Explanations of the new items and skills will be listed one by one later, so no detailed descriptions will be given here.

Let's talk about other aspects: Feng Bujue now has only a little over three hundred skill points left after spending a lot; he's visited the惊吓盒子 (Jingxia Hezi - Scare Box) quite a bit in the last few days, spending no less than thirty thousand skill points. He also spent a lot of game coins, but mostly on buying cheap, useless equipment at auction, for the purpose of... well, you know.

In terms of specializations, when Feng Bujue reached level forty, his General Specialization jumped to B level along with his level; his Shooting Specialization also rose to C in a later script; and the biggest improvement should be the Summoning Specialization.

After the competition on the morning of May 25th, the four members of Hell's Front went to queue up for a script together. This happened to be a long script, so Feng Bujue successfully completed the character task of [using summoning skills and successfully summoning summoned creatures fifty times] that night.

After returning to the login space, the system prompted him that the first step of the character task had been completed, and the newly refreshed second step was [all summoned creatures have used a total of one thousand skills, current progress 0/1000]. As for the reward for the first step, it was the D-level summoning skill: [Summoning Art - Masun].

Regarding items and skills: in a script world with extremely high technological level, Brother Jue's frequently used flashlight has been merged with the anti-gravity catapult, which is now the Composite Anti-Gravity Catapult; in a grotesque script with ukiyo-e (Japanese woodblock prints) style, Brother Jue obtained a mushroom that can remove multiple negative states, namely the I-Can't-Believe-It-Works Mushroom; in a martial arts-style supernatural script, Brother Jue exchanged a folding stool (No. 5) from the Eighteen Bronze Men for a martial art called Flying Sand Turns in the Wind (through the Vajra Bell's effect, he recognized that a certain NPC was actually one of the Eighteen Bronze Men who had returned to secular life, so he made the deal); in an adventure-tomb raiding-style script, Brother Jue obtained the Deceptive Pocket Watch.

In addition to these items obtained from the scripts, Lady Phantom's Caress was synthesized by Feng Bujue using the original Jigsaw Card - Monkey and another jigsaw card he obtained; this is a pair of gloves; and the two active skills, Evil King's Flaming Murder Hellfire and Kikoho, both came from the Jingxia Hezi.

In short... Feng Bujue today is really strong.

If Dream Inc. were to list all the data of the fifty players participating in the Peak Hegemony Battle (doing so should be enough to make ten chapters...), and post a poll on the official website for players to judge who is the strongest, then Feng Bujue would definitely be in the top five.

But even so... Feng Bujue himself is still pessimistic about the prospects of the final. He is such a person, a staunch supporter of Murphy's Law, always planning for the worst.

As the saying goes, "If soldiers come, generals will block them; if water comes, earth will dam it."

In the limited time, Feng Bujue has basically maximized the improvement of his character's abilities, and almost all available resources have been used. The remaining things can only depend on that unpredictable but unavoidable fate...
