130: Chapter 130 Legendary [Mechanical Shield], the key to clearing the Hell-level dungeon!

After returning to the market, Wang Fei took out his little notebook.

He carefully conducted some research on the [Wilderness Battlefield].

The others also joined the discussion.

In the end, they all reached a fairly consistent opinion.

As for attack power, Zhang Jian's skill output was already powerful enough.

If they really had to improve further, it would be by starting with defense or resistance.

Especially for Wang Fei and the other two.

With better resistance, they could come and go freely in places where dozens or even hundreds of monsters gathered.

As the speed and efficiency of luring monsters improved, the time to clear the Dungeon would naturally improve as well.

But the group was somewhat at a loss as to how to improve this aspect.

Their equipment was already excellence Rank dedicated, and it was even a set type.

It had already surpassed 99.999% of Professionals of the same Rank.

Even if they upgraded to legendary rank dedicated, the magnitude of improvement wouldn't be very significant.

As for skills, the skills they had already learned were all suitable for them.

Furthermore, relying on the wave of experience they gained from following Zhang Jian on the 12-hour non-stop Dungeon journey at the Star Gate, they had raised all their learned skills to the maximum level.

This was an advantage other Professionals couldn't compare with.

Wang Fei and Yan Han had also long since learned the maximum number of skills.

Even if they let Wei Donglai learn a few more attack-type fire skills, it wouldn't be very meaningful.

Just as they felt their thinking had reached a deadlock, Zhang Jian remembered the Mechanical Power Shield recipe that had dropped earlier.

He decided to give it a try.

In the forging room, after 100 consecutive practice sessions with five different shield recipes, within three hours, Zhang Jian had gained a lot from crafting shields.

He even used this to activate two corresponding rare Rank traits.

During the crafting process, he also leveled up twice.

[Shield Mastery] (legendary rank)

When crafting shield-type equipment, the probability of producing high quality items increases by 60%. (Upgrade trait quality still needs: craft 9/100 shield-type equipment)

[Durability Expert] (legendary rank)

The durability of disposable weapons and equipment you craft will be increased by an additional 150%. (Upgrade trait quality still needs: craft 1/100 disposable weapons and equipment)

With the confidence from these two traits, he was even more certain about crafting the [Mechanical Power Shield].

The crafting of this piece of equipment required a material called [reinforced thousand-pattern steel].

And according to the recipe requirements, it started at 10 pieces, and could hold up to 20 pieces.

The quality could be as low as rare Rank, and as high as excellence Rank.

The prices were 10,000 and 50,000 respectively.

Wang Fei sold all the countless weapons and equipment they didn't need that they had recently acquired to Ye Xun at a price lower than the market rate.

In exchange, he got 200 pieces of excellence Rank refined iron.

This item alone cost 10 million huaxia coins.

And this was just the basic material.

In the recipe, two other types of special Materials could also be added.

Zhang Jian chose [durable refined iron] and [Scrap King's Fragments].

Counting both recipes together, there were only 10 chances.

To ensure he could produce the goods, Zhang Jian directly added two [Scrap King's Fragments] during crafting.

Although this material was only legendary rank, it could only be dropped by epic-grade BOSSes.

Mechanical BOSSes were even rarer.

They were almost never seen on the market.

At the very least, in the market, Ye Xun indicated that he hadn't seen anyone consign them for so many years; even when he went to the largest trading market in the province, he had only seen two pieces.

Wanting to buy them in large quantities was simply impossible.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Jian instead ignited his fighting spirit.

10 chances, he must produce the goods!

After he focused on crafting the first item.

[Mechanical Power Shield] (excellence Rank)

Disposable defensive item.

After equipping, increases own physical defense by 300 points, magical defense by 200 points.

Comes with a shield effect of 50,000 base Qi and blood + 300% of own Qi and blood, lasting for 10 minutes.

Each time the shield effect disappears, it consumes 100 points of durability. When all durability is consumed, [reinforced thousand-pattern steel] can be used to replenish it, with a maximum of 3 replenishments.

[Scrap King's Special Craftsmanship]: Base Qi and blood increased by 20,000 points.

[Scrap King's Overload Mode]: After activation, base attributes increase by 30%, durability consumption increases by 50%.

Durability: 500/500

Wang Fei clicked his tongue in praise.

"This thing is equivalent to giving yourself a few extra lives; it's quite awesome!"

Zhang Jian, however, was somewhat dissatisfied.

If it was only excellence quality, it would certainly greatly increase safety for nightmare Rank difficulty.

But for Hell Rank, it was still a bit lacking.

He shook his head, calmed his mood, and chose to continue crafting.

The second piece was still excellence Rank.

Except for the base attributes, which were still maxed out due to the characteristics of the [Scrap King's Fragments] and the King's Craftsmanship, the effect of the special craftsmanship changed to increasing duration by 20%, which was better than nothing.

The third piece finally flashed with an orange light.

[Mechanical Power Shield] (legendary rank)

Disposable defensive item.

After equipping, increases own physical defense by 500 points, magical defense by 400 points.

Comes with a shield effect of 100,000 base Qi and blood + 500% of own Qi and blood, lasting for 15 minutes.

Each time the shield is completely consumed, it consumes 150 points of durability. When all durability is consumed, [reinforced thousand-pattern steel] can be used to replenish it, with a maximum of 5 replenishments.

[Scrap King's Special Craftsmanship]: Shield Qi and blood value recovers 0.5% per second.

[Scrap King's Overload Mode]: After activation, base attributes increase by 50%, durability consumption increases by 70%.

Durability: 800/800

Wei Donglai and Yan Han opened their mouths wide in unison.

The attributes of this one were much stronger than the last one.

Although the durability consumed for basic use increased from 100 to 150 points, the total durability had also increased.

If in overload mode, the shield effect was even more obvious.

The special craftsmanship effect of this one was also very powerful.

Calculating based on Wang Fei, who had the highest Qi and blood among the group, with 10,000 points of Qi and blood, equipping this [Mechanical Power Shield] could give a shield effect of 150,000.

In overload mode, it was as high as over 220,000.

It could recover 1,000 points of shield Qi and blood value per second.

If not receiving a lot of damage in an instant, facing general attacks, it could almost achieve zero consumption.

Zhang Jian threw it directly to Wang Fei.

The fourth and fifth pieces did not produce anything special.

The sixth and seventh pieces produced two legendary rank items in a row.

They were distributed by Zhang Jian to Wei Donglai and Yan Han.

The eighth and ninth pieces were still just legendary rank.

Wei Donglai felt a bit embarrassed.

"Brother Jian, why don't you use this one of mine?"

Zhang Jian shook his head.

"It's for you all, just take it and use it."

He had already prepared for the tenth piece not producing anything special.

After all, he still had the [Sword Qi Field], and his overall resistance was already higher than the three of them.

Furthermore, the heavy responsibility of luring monsters mainly fell on the three of them.

Even if he took an excellence Rank one, it would barely be usable.

As a result, just as he was crafting the last piece with a relaxed expression and somewhat casual movements, a purple light flashed again.
