Chapter 34: Equipment successfully crafted, time to head to the S-rank dungeon!
The atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat strange because Lu Yan took out three brand-new blueprints.
Zhao Leiguang craned his neck and looked at the blueprints over and over again three times. Finally, he couldn't help but mutter, "Brother, do you really think Captain Xiao's handcrafted weapons only require such low-level weapon dismantling and engraving stones?"
Lu Yan did not answer him directly, but instead turned his gaze to Xiao Qianyu.
"Captain, the Lancer's 'Flash Strike' is a movement and target acquisition skill with a short cooldown, but its damage coefficient is extremely low, so few people use it as their main means of output."
Xiao Qianyu nodded; this was common sense.
"My idea is to make up for the shortcomings of this skill by specializing in weapons, and even turn it into your core advantage. Unlimited movement, unlimited lock-on, coupled with high single-target burst damage... Imagine that during the duration of 'Crimson Storm,' you will no longer be able to finish a combo and retreat, but will be endlessly shuttling and reaping kills across the entire battlefield."
Lu Yan's description painted a completely new battle scene in Xiao Qianyu's mind.
It was a fighting style she had never imagined, one that maximized speed and assassination.
She no longer hesitated.
"Do as you say. I'll immediately request the command center to allocate fast-track access to the secret realm."
"No need to apply anymore." Lu Yan made a few moves on the tactical computer, and a top-level access pass with Li Tianshan's personal seal popped up. "Old Li has approved it. All secret realms open to us below level 40 can be entered and exited without restriction 24 hours a day."
As it turns out, Mr. Li had a unique perspective. Instead of delving into these trivial matters, he delegated authority directly. Working with such a person is incredibly easy.
End of the meeting.
The first team changed into their new gear and, without a word, headed straight for their target dungeon—the level 40 [Wind Howling Canyon].
……
Half a day later.
When the first squad reappeared on the platform, they were followed by five large military-grade suspended transport containers.
When the logistics personnel responsible for receiving the package opened the first box, they were almost buried alive by the "Swift Wind Slash Swords" piled up inside.
However, it is worth mentioning that nearly 200 Holy Spirit Stones were produced in half a day. If all of these stones were sold in the trading house, they could recoup more than 400 million.
Zhao Lei patted the outside of the transport box and winked at the dumbfounded logistics soldier: "Brother, please check it and put it into storage quickly, we're in a hurry."
Throughout the entire process, no one in the first team showed any unusual behavior.
Just kidding, they're used to seeing equipment and materials piled up like this when they're running dungeons with Lu Yan.
If it weren't for the limited storage space, they could have emptied the entire Wind Howling Canyon.
In the forging room reserved for the National Guard, Lu Yan returned to this place after a long absence.
Lu Yan stood in front of the main control panel, ignoring the five huge transport boxes behind him, and simply brought up a clean breakdown interface.
He placed his hand on the recognition area and gained access.
"All materials, call them up, and then perform primary decomposition and purification," Lu Yan ordered.
The purification and decomposition process lasted for nearly an hour, and all the engraving stones had been extracted.
Lu Yan moved the light screen, matching and combining the three drawings one by one.
"Xiao Qianyu's spear's core concept is to abandon all area-of-effect damage and defensive attributes, and to stack all stats onto the 'Flash Strike' skill. I need to use the Swift Wind Slash weapon dropped by the Wind Howling Beast as a base, inscribe the 'Wind Break' and 'Instant Strike' runes, and then use..."
As Lu Yan operated the machine, he quietly explained his design concept.
Xiao Qianyu stood behind him, listening attentively.
She understood her own fighting style better than anyone else, and she could better understand the madness and audacity of Lu Yan's modification ideas.
Shen Xinglin and Su Yunqing's equipment plans were also completely overturned.
Lu Yan's fingers tapped rapidly on the holographic control panel.
The purified high-grade engraving stones have been distributed.
Then, Lu Yan finished the tense and exciting betting segment without any major incidents.
"Captain Xiao, this is for you."
The light screen flickered. The alloy tray on the forging table slowly rose.
A long, dark red spear lay there. The spear shaft was devoid of superfluous decoration, only adorned with fine, dark patterns. Hot flames swirled around the spearhead.
Lu Yan opened the equipment panel.
【Red Lotus Goddess Spear】
Base damage: 1100-1200.
附加词条：攻击速度增加+152%、基础攻击力提升141%、暴击率加成136%、暴击伤害加成111%、绝对命中、火焰元素伤害增加+154%。
Only the low rumble of the furnace remained in the forging workshop.
Xiao Qianyu stared at the number "1100" and even thought she was seeing things.
Her own dark gold spear only has an attack power of 600, which is already considered a very high weapon.
A typical unique weapon dropped from a level 40 dungeon has a base damage of around 400. This gun blows those numbers up by almost three times.
With full accuracy and high critical hit rate, plus the fire damage provided by this gun.
Combined with her extremely high mobility.
This is a weapon tailor-made for killing.
"If this thing were combined with Blink Strike..." Zhao Leiguang swallowed hard. He was already imagining Xiao Qianyu teleporting infinitely on the battlefield, taking down enemies one by one with a single shot. "Captain, you don't need to call it Crimson Storm anymore, just call it Red Lightning."
Lu Yan ignored Zhao Leiguang's antics. He turned to look at Shen Xinglin.
"Old Shen, your lance."
The second piece of equipment has been completed.
【Ever-changing】
Base damage per point is 1050.
The stats are equally straightforward: Attack Power, Attack Speed, Life Steal, Fire Damage Bonus, and Attack Range Bonus.
Shen Xinglin stepped forward and grasped the gun barrel. With a slight exertion, the gun tip spewed out a three-foot-long burst of flame.
The Cavaliers are most afraid of being pulled around and of not having enough stamina.
The "attack range bonus" compensates for his short range. "Life steal" gives him the strongest confidence when charging into battle. As long as he's not instantly killed, he can recover his health with a single shot.
"Thanks." Shen Xinglin gripped the gun barrel tightly. A hint of fervor appeared on his usually stern face.
"Sister Yunqing," Lu Yan finally pulled up a drawing. "Yours is a bit special."
The lifting platform is activated.
There was no staff. Only a floating orb emitting a soft white light.
[The Gift of Yao Guang]
The base magic damage is only 300.
The following entry left Su Yunqing stunned.
Increased healing output, maximum number of targets healed +1, healing critical strike bonus, increased shield, and increased healing range.
The most outrageous one is the last one: the shield regeneration is not interrupted during healing.
For support characters, the biggest fear when being focused down is having their shield broken and their healing interrupted. With this attribute, as long as Su Yunqing is still healing, her shield will be forcibly kept in a regenerating state.
"Maximum number of targets healed increased by one..." Su Yunqing murmured the attribute. "This means that my single-target healing skill can now be applied to two people simultaneously."
This is more than just a qualitative change.
This is equivalent to doubling the healing margin for error in the first squad.
Zhao Lei glanced at Xiao Qianyu's gun, then at Su Yunqing's spirit orb. Finally, he looked down at the Earth Pulse Twin Shields in his own hands.
"No, Brother Yan." Zhao Leiguang moved closer to Lu Yan and rubbed his hands together. "Look at my shield, can it be raised a bit more? I also want to experience what it's like to be a stat monster."
"What do you need to do with damage as a tank?" Lu Yan glanced at him and casually turned off the control panel. "If you want to be a stat monster, show me the actual combat data for these pieces of equipment first."
Zhao Leiguang's face darkened.
