114: Chapter 114: Upgradable Set Recipes! God of Crafting, Activate!

The first time Zhang Jian and Wang Fei cleared the Dungeon, it was on Normal difficulty.

The Boss was only of excellence quality.

Although they easily obtained an S-rank evaluation with a time of 13 minutes, there were essentially no good drops.

The two immediately followed up by challenging the Hard and Nightmare difficulties in succession.

After becoming familiar with the mine's layout, their speed actually increased.

They cleared them easily in 9 minutes and 8 minutes, respectively.

They also obtained the highest evaluations of SS-rank and SSS-rank.

However, the final cumulative harvest was somewhat disappointing.

Upon returning to the market, the two couldn't help but complain to Ye Xun.

"Can you believe it? We ran the Dungeon three times and only got one legendary rank skill and five excellence rank skills in total, and their attributes were all mediocre."

"The rest of the equipment was all common junk."

"The drops in this Dungeon are simply too poor!"

Ye Xun's expression was strange.

"I can't tell if you're complaining or showing off."

"I know that Dungeon; the drops are considered quite good. It's said that on nightmare difficulty, there's hope for a legendary rank drop after three to five runs."

"Your harvest from these three runs is equivalent to what others get in over a dozen runs. What are you still dissatisfied with?"

Wang Fei looked back at Zhang Jian.

"Is that how it is?"

Zhang Jian was also a bit uncertain now.

"Could it be that our luck is actually quite good?"

Ye Xun shook his head.

"More than just good, it's Heaven-Defying!"

"If you can consistently get drops like this, I'm afraid people wanting to team up with you would pay just to ride your coattails!"

The speaker was casual, but the listener took it to heart.

A sense of vigilance rose in Zhang Jian's mind.

He had affix bonuses, so his base drop rate was already quite high.

Add to that the bonus for having a small team and the level-gap bonus.

Only then could he achieve such results.

But others didn't know that.

If this were truly exposed, it might lead to a lot of trouble.

He made up his mind not to team up with others easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

Currently, the team had four members.

Aside from lacking a healing-type Support class, the composition was basically decent.

Adding more newcomers wouldn't bring a qualitative leap in team strength; instead, it wouldn't be cost-effective.

Zhang Jian suddenly felt a wave of extreme mental exhaustion.

He was somewhat puzzled.

These were just three ordinary Dungeon runs.

Combined, they hadn't even spent half an hour. Would there be such a noticeable drain?

But he thought back carefully.

From the continuous 12 hours of Dungeons at the Star Gate, his mind had been constantly tense.

He had then entered Hell difficulty and fought hard for nearly five hours.

He had fought until his physical strength was exhausted and his hands were injured.

Although he had recovered at the time thanks to the Star Gate's miraculous effects.

The accumulation of that constant focus and seriousness in battle had transformed into this exhaustion.

Under Ye Xun's persuasion.

The two gave up their plan to grind monsters in the wild and finally lay down to rest.

Lying in the room Ye Xun had specially prepared, Zhang Jian fell into a deep sleep as soon as he hit the bed.

This sleep lasted a full nine hours.

When he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.

Zhang Jian stretched his body, feeling refreshed.

He felt his whole body brimming with Battle Intent.

"Today, I'm going to clear ten Dungeons!"

But just as he had that thought, Wang Fei brought some news.

Wei Donglai and Yan Han would be arriving in two hours.

Zhang Jian simply decided to wait.

When the airship they were on arrived, it was exactly 11:00 AM.

Ye Xun threw a grand banquet to properly host the two.

He was somewhat surprised when he learned about their family backgrounds.

Both of these industries were extremely promising.

He had even bought the mana recovery medicine from Wei Donglai's family before.

Back then, he had to buy those rare medicines in sets of 10 at a small auction, but Wei Donglai had brought 150 bottles directly!

According to him, it was mainly because Materials were scarce, and there was simply no other way.

This was already the result of all existing inventory and working overtime.

However, his mention of a certain Dungeon that produced more Materials but was quite difficult caught Zhang Jian's attention.

This kind of mana potion was indeed very useful.

If he had the chance in the future, he could lead the team to that Dungeon to grind for a while.

If there was no shortage of Materials, wouldn't that indirectly mean there was no shortage of potions?

After letting Wang Fei put away the mana potions.

Yan Han couldn't wait to start showing off.

What he brought this time was the set recipe he had promised before.

However.

It wasn't the excellence rank standard type he had originally mentioned, but another advanced version.

Not only was the number of forging attempts significantly increased, but it was also said to have a tiny probability of forging legendary rank individual pieces.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Jian was getting impatient.

Yan Han was also very knowledgeable and brought several other similar set recipes for Zhang Jian to practice with first.

However, they were basically ordinary recipes that could only forge up to rare rank at most.

There was one set that was said to be able to produce excellence rank, but the probability was extremely low, and almost no one had ever completed the set.

Zhang Jian's urge to forge suddenly flared up.

He immediately led the others to Ye Xun's private forging table.

He got straight to work.

Those few ordinary recipes only required basic Materials.

Ye Xun quickly ordered people to prepare a large batch.

Unlike ordinary forging, set forging was divided into two forms.

One was conventional individual piece forging.

The other was a unified forging of all five pieces of equipment at once.

The difference was that with unified forging, a complete set of equipment of the same quality would appear.

Having just learned of this, Zhang Jian instinctively thought.

With his probability of producing high quality, he would definitely choose set forging.

How great would it be to get a whole legendary rank set at once.

But when he started practicing, he found that wasn't the case.

With the bonuses from his multiple affixes, his success rate for good items was indeed very high.

For the rare rank recipes, after getting used to them a few times, he produced two consecutive rare rank sets.

This left Yan Han greatly shocked.

Zhang Jian got more and more into it as he forged.

He even used the one recipe that could potentially produce excellence rank to directly forge a luxurious excellence rank set, shocking everyone present.

But after forging dozens of sets, Zhang Jian discovered a problem.

With unified forging, dedicated effects would not appear.

He performed a few more conventional forgings.

Sure enough.

A prompt immediately appeared asking whether to convert it to dedicated.

By the time he finished forging all the ordinary recipes Yan Han had brought, he was even more certain of this point.

So, after resting and finishing dinner in the late afternoon, Zhang Jian determined his forging direction.

On the forging table, Zhang Jian solemnly placed the recipe.
