Chapter 1351: Chapter 593: The Sudden Attack of Kun Peng

Mu You clicked on ’Poison Blade’ and took out the item to inspect it.

A short sword with a gloomy green hue appeared in his hand.

The short sword was slightly heavy to the touch, the blade twisted and turned like a Spirit Snake, with the tip slightly hooked and shimmering with a green frosty glow.

This short sword’s attributes were not particularly impressive, 20 agility was passable in the Star Spirit World, but in Sky High World, especially for players fused with Divine Bone, all attributes had been greatly diluted; these attributes were indeed negligible. Compared to those, the 5 points of God’s Power were much more significant.

However, this item would occupy an equipment slot. Not to mention how scarce equipment slots are in the Real World, Mu You’s current slots intended for Divine Artifacts and Hidden Relics were already stretched thin; merely 5 points of God’s Power were not enough to justify occupying a slot on its own.

What really caught Mu You’s eye was the subsequent effect: Defense Reduction.

Each hit could reduce God’s Defense and the effect could stack, though each reduction only lasted ten seconds. But as long as he could attack fast enough, there was still a chance to reduce the defense by double digits within ten seconds—a significant number indeed!

Take the recent Poisonous Velvet Spider, for example, with a God’s Defense ranging from 20-23 points, and Mu You only possessing a total of 24 points of God’s Power, along with the suppression by Star Level, his normal attacks merely scratched the surface, and his damage depended almost entirely on Divine Arts.

But with this Poison Blade, he could reduce the defense by over 5 points upon impact, in addition to amplified God’s Power. By increasing and decreasing, his physical output could be significantly boosted, even if he ran out of energy, it wouldn’t result in a completely helpless state.

More importantly, this weapon could be further upgraded! The effects seen now might all have a chance to be enhanced.

Thinking this, Mu You immediately sent the Poison Blade back into the game and fired up the Synthesis Furnace again.

[You have put 1 Poison Blade and 5 Spider Web Glands into the Synthesis Furnace.]

[Material compatibility 51%, there is a chance of failure, confirm synthesis?]

"Confirm."

Spider Web Glands and Poison Fangs both burst from the body of spiders, compatibility should, by all accounts, be possible, Mu You guessed this ’average compatibility’ was probably because Spider Web Glands aren’t exactly weapon materials.

However, he did not have more suitable materials at hand right now, and having tried other low-level materials one by one, none exceeded 20% compatibility, so he could only try this experiment for now.

[Synthesizing, estimated to finish in 10 minutes...]

The synthesis time for the Poison Blade and materials was much shorter.

Mu You didn’t rush off, patiently waiting for a moment.

Ten minutes later, the message immediately popped up.

[Synthesis failed, you have lost 5 Spider Web Glands...]

"emmm..."

Unlucky start, but no worries, he had plenty of Spider Web.

Rare materials only appear with a small chance, but Spider Web bursts out from almost every spider, some even multiple times; he had more than 30 Spider Web pieces on hand, surely one attempt must succeed.

[You have put 1 Poison Blade and 5 Spider Web Glands into the Synthesis Furnace.]

[Synthesizing...]

[Synthesis successful! You have lost 5 Spider Web Glands, your Poison Blade has received a slight upgrade.]

[Poison Blade: God’s Power +6, Agility +20, each hit reduces enemy’s God’s Defense by 1 point, lasts for 12 seconds, stackable. Can still be upgraded.]

"Just a slight increase..."

Mu You let out an exasperated breath, the effects barely changed, with only God’s Power and defense reduction duration slightly increased.

Shaking his head, Mu You decided to continue synthesizing.

[You have put 1 Poison Blade and 5 Spider Web Glands into the Synthesis Furnace.]

[Synthesis failed...]

...

[Synthesis failed...]

"Tch, continue!"

[Synthesis failed...]

"emmm..."

...

Unfortunately, the results of the Synthesis Furnace cannot be manipulated with the Time Pocket Watch’s roll, as the time far exceeds ten seconds.

This matter is set the moment the materials are put in; though the outcome is decided before the furnace door is opened post-synthesis, and while Mu You couldn’t alter the results, he can only stand by and watch as the results emerge.

This is similar to refining spider corpses for materials: the moment the monster dies, it’s already decided whether the corpse can refine into rare materials, but Mu You must wait until the refining process is over to see the results, and the refining time far exceeds the Time Pocket Watch’s limit, so rolling back is useless here.

Currently, the results of the Time Pocket Watch’s re-roll are primarily applicable only in instantaneous events, and powerless for such prolonged events.

[... Synthesis successful! Your Poison Blade has received a significant upgrade!]

Mu You had to admit, this random synthesis had a bit of a feel of a pay-to-win gacha game; initially, he thought to just try synthesizing a couple of times to see the outcome, but he kept getting more invested as he went on, unknowingly using up all the Spider Web.

The results were fairly good, a total of 35 strands of Spider Web used in 7 attempts, with 4 failures and 3 successes, one of which was a ’significant’ upgrade towards the end.

Once the final synthesis was complete, Mu You hurriedly clicked to check the result.

[Poisonous Velvet Knife: God’s Power +8, Agility +25, each hit reduces enemy’s God’s Defense by 1 point, lasting 15 seconds, stackable. After five consecutive hits, a layer of Spider Web will condense on the target’s surface, restricting their movements. Can still be upgraded (cannot continue synthesis with Spider Web Gland).]

"Not bad!"

Mu You nodded in satisfaction, the upgraded Poison Blade not only had greatly improved attributes from the beginning but also added an effect of Spider Web restraint. Its name had even changed directly to ’Poisonous Velvet Knife,’ essentially turning into a mini-version of a Poisonous Velvet Spider.
