193: Chapter 193 Equipment Forging

Where could one find someone who knows mental control skills?

Because mental control skills are considered relatively useless, at least in the early stages.

Fierce beasts generally have higher attribute values than human Professionals, so the effectiveness of mental control skills is minimal.

Furthermore, after leveling up, almost all Professionals focus entirely on increasing their own damage, so naturally, no one chooses mental control skills.

Moreover, at that stage, the mental power of fierce beasts is generally stronger than that of human Professionals.

Therefore, the effectiveness of mental control skills in the later stages is also not high.

Consequently, people who learn mental control skills are extremely rare.

Everyone cast their gaze toward the three Sword Bearers from the Heavenly Sword Bureau sitting in the conference room.

Yang Zhenxiong shrugged helplessly, signaling that he did not possess such skills.

Su Yuankui, also a Sword Bearer, shook his head helplessly.

"I do know one person who possesses a mental control skill."

Wu Yuanqing spoke up, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"That person is at Xiafu University, a student named Tang Mo."

Wu Yuanqing stopped playing games and finished his sentence in one breath.

"Tang Mo?!"

Upon hearing Tang Mo's name, Ye Shao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Then hurry and contact Long Junhao, have him bring Tang Mo here immediately."

Su Xintian felt the name was very familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had heard it for a moment.

"No need, he is on his way here with Old Wei and the others; they should be arriving soon."

As they spoke, Wei Shenchou had already arrived at the parking lot of the Professional Management Association headquarters, driving a black sedan.

Before Tang Mo could react, Wei Shenchou pulled his hand and brought him directly to the interrogation room where Duanmu Hongkuo was being held.

"It's just an interrogation, no need to be so jittery. Simple, leave it to me."

Upon hearing that it was just to mentally control Duanmu Hongkuo for questioning, Tang Mo finally relaxed.

Outside the interrogation room, Ye Shao, Yang Zhenxiong, Wu Yuanqing, and Gong Jiashi had long been waiting there.

Seeing Tang Mo, the group immediately came up to greet him. After some pleasantries, Tang Mo felt a bit embarrassed.

"I will do my best to find out the whereabouts of those magic energy crystals."

Tang Mo knew the power of the magic energy crystals all too well.

A single one would likely be enough to completely destroy the entire Xiaan City.

He had to hurry!

The door to the interrogation room opened, and a bright light flashed, making it impossible for Duanmu Hongkuo to open his eyes.

Then, a terrifying mental pressure swept toward him.

Subsequently, Duanmu Hongkuo completely lost control of his own body.

"Where are the magic energy crystals hidden?"

"Central Park."

"Just one?"

"Yes."

As expected, Duanmu Hongkuo confessed all of his contingencies.

Upon learning the situation, Ye Shao immediately dispatched Si Yueze to retrieve the magic energy crystals.

Only when the crisis was completely resolved and Si Yueze reported to everyone on the screen that the magic energy crystals had been successfully recovered, did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Shao told Tang Mo that the auction was scheduled for three days later and asked if he was interested in attending.

It was all supreme-grade equipment, and Tang Mo couldn't muster the slightest interest, so he politely declined and then rose to take his leave.

Ye Shao naturally couldn't force him to stay.

Watching Tang Mo's departing figure, for some reason, Ye Shao's heart stirred as well.

"I had clearly intended to cultivate him as a successor, but looking at it now, it seems we have nothing to offer him."

That was true; supreme-grade equipment, he sells it just like that.

Moreover, Ye Shao had also realized the reason Tang Mo wouldn't go to the auction: he was simply not interested.

Ye Shao asked himself, even with the resources of the entire Great Xia Dragon Country, Tang Mo likely wouldn't be interested.

This made Ye Shao feel a bit worried; in such an unequal relationship, would Tang Mo continue to protect the Great Xia?

Seeming to notice Ye Shao's worry, Wei Shenchou leaned in.

"That kid Tang loves money dearly. Just for this operation, even when I applied for a special merit award for him, he didn't want it; he just loves gold coins."

Ye Shao suddenly realized.

"Yes, Tang Mo seems to be very fond of money."

"Then this auction must be held properly; we must strive to sell more things for money."

"Since he likes money, we will try our best to satisfy him."

At this time, Tang Mo had already returned to his dormitory from an empty corner using the Gate of All Things.

In this operation, Tang Mo had obtained a total of over 30 billion gold coins from the three families.

Among them, 20 billion had already been recycled using his Talent, converted into 2 million skill points, leaving 10 billion in his storage space.

Tang Mo intended to use this 10 billion to strengthen and boost his equipment; he would test the waters first.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Tang Mo couldn't wait to summon the Super God Shop.

He took down the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff and placed it into the equipment forger.

A prompt immediately appeared below the equipment forger.

"Do you want to strengthen the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff? This strengthening will cost 1.5 billion gold coins, with a 100% success rate."

Good heavens, I was speechless at a glance. Tang Mo hurriedly asked the system, "How can strengthening one piece of equipment be so expensive?"

The system quickly provided an explanation.

"The cost of equipment forging is determined by the equipment's strengthening level and the equipment's own grade. The host's equipment is a sumeru realm artifact, so the required cost is naturally higher."

Tang Mo understood and clicked the confirm button below, seeing the equipment forger close automatically.

Rumble~ Rumble~!

A sound of mechanical rotation echoed in Tang Mo's mind, and electric light kept spilling out from the equipment forger.

Subsequently, accompanied by a "click" sound, the equipment forger opened automatically, and the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff was lying quietly inside, only now the attribute panel of the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff had undergone some changes.

Behind the staff's name and evolution level, a strengthening level had appeared, currently only showing a "+1".

Tang Mo took another careful look at the various attributes of the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff.

【sumeru realm artifact: nine revolutions coiling dragon staff (Advanced 50/10000) +1, All Attributes +150,000,000%, All Damage +150,000,000%, All Skill Grades +5 (Note: The highest skill grade is God-level), All Skill Levels +35, Skill Range +1,500,000%. Sacrifice (After activating Sacrifice, you will gain an additional 1,500,000,000% All Damage, but skills released after starting Sacrifice will disappear.) The equipment can grow by devouring other equipment. Wear requirement: Possess the coiling dragon pagoda challenger badge.】

After seeing the attributes after strengthening the equipment, Tang Mo instantly felt that this money was well spent!

Not only had all attributes and all damage increased by over 50,000 times, but even the skill levels had gained another 5-level boost.

One must know that skill level is considered very important for a Professional.

Not only that, but even the damage of Sacrifice had obtained a huge boost.

To be able to obtain such a large boost, 1.5 billion gold coins, no matter how you look at it, it wasn't a loss.
