Chapter 58: Strengthening the Life-Saving Blade, 5 Seconds of Invincibility
Zhou Han immediately began looting like crazy,
watching the gold coins in his inventory keep increasing, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Hmph! If I don't squeeze every last drop out of you, then my name isn't Zhou!"
Indeed, those guys from the Korean region had been way too arrogant before.
It made Zhou Han feel genuinely furious.
To deal with them, he had to be ruthless.
If Zhou Han didn't have a way to control them,
there's no way they would have behaved this obediently.
Their tails would probably be sticking up to the sky by now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone this far.
"Not bad, got over 285,000 gold coins. That was effortless."
Under Zhou Han's ruthless squeezing, the harvest was plentiful.
He managed to obtain nearly 300,000 gold coins in one go.
Zhou Han felt quite refreshed inside.
Making money like this was just too easy!
Half an hour ago, he was still worried about 300,000 gold coins!
Now, he had a total of 541,000 gold coins in his inventory.
A total of 95 people, averaging 3,000 gold coins per person.
"Didn't expect these Korean guys to be quite rich. Plenty of oil to squeeze."
Zhou Han muttered to himself.
Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, they were among the top 100 in Region 1000.
Most of them had some wealth.
But now, Zhou Han had stripped them clean—down to their underwear.
Now that he had enough gold,
it was time to unlock the sub-weapon,
and equip the Life-Saving Blade.
After all, he had done so much work,
spent so much time,
all for this weapon, right?
"Purchase Sub-Weapon Expansion Card."
Zhou Han muttered in his mind.
Soon, the system automatically opened the shop of Azure Thunder City and made the purchase.
[Do you want to spend 300,000 gold coins to purchase?]
After confirming.
[You have spent 300,000 gold coins.]
[You have obtained a Sub-Weapon Expansion Card. Please check!]
Zhou Han hurriedly opened it.
[Sub-Weapon Expansion Card]: A limited-time item. After use, within 30 days, you can equip an additional sub-weapon.
After 30 days, you must repurchase to continue using it.
What a scam!
It was actually a time-limited item.
300,000 gold coins for only 30 days.
That's 10,000 gold coins per day?
As expected, the shop in Azure Thunder City was shady as hell!
"I wonder if my enhancement can turn it into a permanent item."
Zhou Han felt a bit uneasy. After all, the effects after enhancement weren't fixed.
He couldn't guarantee anything.
After enhancing it 6 times.
The effect was revealed.
[Sub-Weapon Expansion Card +6]: A limited-time item. After use, within 360 days, you can equip an additional sub-weapon and one accessory.
After 360 days, you must repurchase to continue using it.
As expected, no permanent effect appeared.
But Zhou Han wasn't disappointed.
360 days was more than enough.
He would deal with it when the time came.
By then, who knows how strong he would have become.
And the most exciting part was that there was now an extra accessory slot.
Accessories include: rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, medals, magic stones, etc.
The rules of the Divine Demon Continent state that you can only equip one of them.
That's why after Zhou Han obtained the Moonlight Earrings,
he replaced the True Spirit Ring.
Now that he could equip one more accessory, his combat power would increase even further.
Naturally, he was extremely delighted.
[You have successfully used Sub-Weapon Expansion Card +6.]
Two beams of white light poured into Zhou Han's body.
From the virtual panel, he could see that both the weapon slot and accessory slot had increased by one.
Zhou Han immediately put on the True Spirit Ring +5.
"Next, it's time to enhance the Life-Saving Blade. I can enhance it 7 times—the effects are really something to look forward to!"
He took out the Life-Saving Blade from his inventory.
"Enhance 7 times."
[You have successfully enhanced it 7 times. Please check the attributes.]
[Life-Saving Blade · Siming +7]
Grade: Diamond
Attributes: +1800 Attack, +20% Skill Cooldown
Special Effect 1: When receiving fatal damage, become invincible for 5 seconds and increase all attributes by 20%.
Special Effect 2: All allied units within a 10-meter range take 20% reduced damage.
Special Effect 3: When HP is below 50%, all resistance increases by 100%.
"As expected of a powerful life-saving artifact. It's just that damn awesome."
First of all, the attack power was maxed out, reaching 1800 points.
There was also a 20% skill cooldown reduction, meaning his skills could be chained seamlessly.
Special Effect 1 gave 5 seconds of invincibility upon taking fatal damage.
Don't underestimate those 5 seconds. For someone with Zhou Han's speed,
5 seconds was enough to do a lot of things,
deal massive amounts of damage with ease.
He could completely use that invincibility window to turn the tables in desperate situations.
Special Effect 2 was an aura skill that reduced damage for allies.
Special Effect 3 further increased all resistances.
Overall, its defensive capabilities were stronger than its offensive power.
The Divine Demon Continent was full of dangers, and this blade was definitely a life-saving artifact.
After reviewing it, Zhou Han equipped the blade without hesitation.
He immediately felt much more at ease. His safety was greatly secured.
Qin Tian: Bro Han is insane! Those Korean guys instantly chickened out, wagging their tails like dogs begging for mercy.
Liu Bo: Bro Han is just too domineering. He's got them completely under control—they don't even dare to fart.
Zhou Zhuang: With Bro Han here, our 666 region is invincible! When he makes a move, you know what's up.
Wang Shuai: Who in the world can rival him? Only Zhou Han!
...
The group chat was full of people flattering Zhou Han.
They were practically throwing every compliment they knew at him.
However, Ou Huang, Gou Tuo, Jia Feiqiu, Mei Aoxue, Lin Fan, and others—
all ranked within the top ten—
didn't say much.
Although Zhou Han was powerful, they also had ambitions.
They still believed they could compete for the number one spot.
So naturally, they wouldn't join in the flattery.
...
Seeing the messages in the group chat, Zhou Han couldn't help but laugh.
"They're praising me to the heavens. Am I really that awesome already?"
Soon after, Zhou Han exited the God-Slaying Hall.
As for those Korean players, he would deal with them in three days.
Whether to kick them out or keep harvesting them like crops,
he hadn't decided yet. He would just take it step by step.
"Now my EXP bar is at 96.7%. Level 25 is just around the corner."
Because of the trouble caused by people from Region 123,
and the time spent sorting the loot,
he had been delayed until now.
Zhou Han no longer hesitated and continued grinding monsters.
A few minutes later, sword light flashed as dozens of magical beasts were harvested.
[You have successfully reached Level 25.]
[Server Announcement: Player Zhou Han has become the first in this region to reach Level 25. Reward: Soul Crystals x1000.]
"That fast? Reaching Level 25 already? It's only the third day today."
"I just checked—Soul Crystals only drop from King-tier bosses. I've never even seen one."
"After reaching Level 25, you can have your first awakening. Zhou Han is going to become even more terrifying."
"Oh, it's Boss Zhou Han. Basic operation, nothing surprising."
...
This time, the shock wasn't too great.
After all, in Region 666, who didn't know how awesome Zhou Han was?
Everyone was already used to it.
