Chapter 167: Complete Restoration

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to the special nature of the gem, it had to be of the same attribute as the other gem on the leather bracelet if it wanted to be repaired. Otherwise, the equipment’s energy would not be able to transmit steadily due to the different attributes of the gem. Not only would the effect be greatly reduced, but there was also the possibility of damage.

Fortunately, he was able to proceed smoothly.

Heating and tempering, Wu Mo began to repair the inlaid hole on the leather bracelet while the gem cooled down after its outer shell was removed.

The energy circle around the socket had aged due to a lack of energy for a long time. He needed to redraw the circle and get rid of the aged one.

This step did not require much theoretical knowledge, but due to the repair’s complexity, the process required a lot of patience.

By the time the translucent gem had completely cooled down, he had already finished repairing the socket.

Wu Mo gently picked up the warm gem and embedded it into the hole.

The next moment, a green light appeared. It followed the repaired transportation array, wrapping half of the leather bracelet. It smoothly blended with the gem on the other side, they and complemented each other.

Suddenly, Wu Mo noticed that the purple light on the surface of the bracelet seemed to darken.

The bracelet on the workbench was brand new, and the two gemstones were glowing faintly.

Compared with its previous damaged and aged appearance, it had recovered a lot.

Although the bracelet was not as good as when it was just cast, this was Wu Mo’s best performance.

Huff…

He took a deep breath, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he silently said in his heart, ‘System, please appraise the repaired leather bracelet.’

[Ding! Ding! Equipment appraisal completed. As this is the second appraisal, no points are required. The equipment value has been displayed.

[Equipment Type: Bracelet

[Equipment Name: Sharp Leather Bracelet.

[Equipment Grade: Epic

[System Rating: 69 points.

[Equipment Effects: 1. Chill (the wearer will sense danger in advance. Cooldown: 1 day)

[2. Mind’s Eye (when forging equipment, the probability of failure is reduced by 10%.)

[3: Sharpness (after equipping, the armor-piercing effect of the wearer’s current weapon will increase by one level. Note: Unable to break through armor that is of a higher grade.)

[4. Biting Cold (when being attacked, regardless of whether the attack hits the target, the target will be frozen and unable to move for 1 second. Cooldown: 12 hours. Note: Due to the low compatibility of the two gemstones, the skill recovery time has increased.)

[Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has been worn for a few years. There are traces of a second repair. As the repair is not perfect, its quality cannot be upgraded. Overall, it is a great piece of Epic equipment.]

Looking at the system panel and the string of data that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo felt a little regretful.

Although he had successfully repaired the equipment, he had not reached the upper limit of his skills. One could only say that his current repair skills still had a lot of room for improvement.

Even so, it was considered a success since he managed to restore the equipment’s fourth effect.

After all, the bracelet was of Epic grade. Only six-star blacksmiths and above could repair equipment of this quality.

He was content now that he had an additional means of protection in the face of danger. Plus, it did not cost him much of his own things. It was basically free.

After putting the bracelet back on his wrist, Wu Mo shook his arm and nodded in satisfaction.

With a thought, he immediately summoned the system’s interface.

At the same time, he opened his workstation’s management settings.

In the Divine-grade Forging Space, there were more than a dozen pieces of equipment such as a workbench, a strengthening table, a furnace, a molding machine, and so on. However, aside from the furnace, which had been strengthened once, the other pieces of equipment were still at their initial levels.

He still had more than 200,000 system points left, and he could spend some of them on upgrading the equipment in the space.

For example, the workstation was still at its initial Rare grade.

When he was still at the Divine Arms Academy, Wu Mo had not met the conditions to upgrade the machine. However, after entering the Research Institute and learning in-depth, he had met enough conditions to unlock the workstation and mold machine.

Wu Mo checked the Rare-grade Workstation’s attributes.

[Rare-grade Workstation

[Equipment Effects: 1. Luck Token (Recovers one point of mental strength for every hour of accumulated use.)

[2. Tranquility (Reduces negative emotions by 10%. Negative emotions include tension, trembling, and hallucinations.)

[Unique Effect: Backtrack (Unlimited usage. Equipment forged in the chaotic space can be restored to its state before failure.)

[Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 general points]

Looking at the Rare-grade Workstation’s attributes, Wu Mo chose to level up immediately.

The workstation could be considered the core area of the entire smithing space. One could say that the earlier it was upgraded, the more benefits Wu Mo would be able to enjoy.

A few months ago, he had spent numerous days and nights with this initial workstation. Going from his initial ignorance to his current mastery, he finally graduated in first place and arrived where he was today.

Now, he could clearly remember every inch of the workstation’s texture.

[Three hundred seconds are required to upgrade the workstation.]

The system’s ethereal voice echoed in his mind, immediately pulling Wu Mo back from his memories.

He waited quietly and simultaneously thought about when to upgrade the mold machine.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 300 seconds had passed.

The milky-white light around the workstation dissipated, and a brand-new workstation immediately appeared before Wu Mo.

[The Premium-grade Workstation upgrade has been completed. Its attributes are as listed.

[Equipment Effects: 1. Luck Token (Recovers three points of mental strength for every hour of use.)

[2. Tranquility (Reduces negative emotions by 25%. Negative emotions include nervousness, trembling, hallucinations, and so on.)

[3. Rapid Cooling (The cooling rate of the materials in the crucible doubles.)

[Unique Effect: Backtrack (Unlimited usage. Equipment forged in the chaotic space can be restored to its state before failure.)

[Upgrade Requirement: 10,000 general points (Upgrade condition not met)]

The new workstation in front of him was dozens of centimeters longer, but the height was the same as before. There was also an additional set of equipment in the area where the crucibles were placed.

The equipment could probably be used to speed up the cooling of the crucible.

Wu Mo stepped forward and gently touched the workstation’s smooth surface. When he felt the warm touch and the familiar texture, his heart relaxed a lot.

It must be the quietness in the forging space.

His mind was as clear as the surface of a calm lake, while he stood quietly beside the workstation.

A pleasant fragrance entered his nose, making him feel refreshed.

Sensing the workstation’s efficiency, Wu Mo felt that the 1,000 points he had spent were worth it.
