Chapter 347: SSS+ level Purple Gold Divine Weapon [Longyuan] Strengthened to Full 20 Holes

Chapter 347 SSS+-Tier Purple Gold Divine Weapon [Longyuan] Upgraded to Full 20 Slots

A total of 200 socket openers were obtained. For an SSS-level weapon, each slot requires 3 openers, and the number of openers consumed increases with the number of slots.

Slots 1-5 consume 3 openers per slot, totaling 15 openers. Slots 6-10 consume 6 openers per slot, totaling 30 openers, and so on, requiring 60 and 90 openers respectively.

To successfully open 20 slots on an SSS-level weapon, 195 openers are needed. This means that starting from the 6th slot, failure is absolutely not an option—otherwise, Wu Yue wouldn’t have enough openers to fully upgrade Longyuan to 20 slots.

Wu Yue took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and repeatedly muttered, "Heaven help me, heaven help me, it must succeed in one go."

After saying this, she bowed devoutly in all directions.

Fu Yanqi, "...What kind of overpowered item did she even get? With her already absurd mystical power, she’s still resorting to praying to every deity in the book."

Wu Yue even took out an incense burner, lit three sticks of incense first. She had just used an underhanded trick to deal with Leo and wasn’t sure if she was still under a bad luck debuff.

As soon as she lit the incense, it abruptly went out and wouldn't stay lit no matter what. Wu Yue’s heart jumped to her throat.

Tricky moves really shouldn’t be used recklessly, ah!

She immediately vowed, "Just this once, never again."

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the extinguished incense unexpectedly reignited on its own, curling upward once more.

Everyone looked at Fu Yanqi in disbelief. Fu Yanqi scoffed, losing his cool, "Don’t look at me, I have no idea what she’s up to either.

The Heavenly Dao that governs our Taoist sect isn’t the same department as the one overseeing her. If we use underhanded methods to kill, we’d be struck dead by eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning.

But her? All she needs is a quick apology, and the matter is lightly brushed aside!!"

Shen Que spoke up for Wu Yue, "She’s the victim here, she had no choice.

Besides, she even lit incense—now that's sincerity!"

It was all his fault. If he hadn’t been so useless, stuck in the treatment pod for so long, Wu Yue wouldn’t have had to fight two SSS-level opponents alone.

The moment Shen Que woke up and learned Wu Yue was injured, he rushed to see her. Finding her unconscious without even entering a treatment pod, his heart ached unbearably. After carefully placing her in the pod, he turned around and took Frank out.

Once the ritual was complete, Wu Yue officially began socketing.

Slots 1-4 went smoothly, but upon reaching slot 5, she failed once. Wu Yue’s face stiffened.

No way, no way... Failing this early? What about the later slots?!

Fortunately, from slot 6 onward, all the way to slot 20, the process went incredibly smoothly.

Wu Yue got into the groove as she progressed, eventually pouring all the Starfall Ore from her system onto the weapon. She calculated that socketing all 20 slots would require a total of 100,000 Starfall Ores.

Since the DX001 Purge Plan, the price of Starfall Ore had remained high, even skyrocketing at one point.

After securing funds, Wu Yue had been gradually selling off and reorganizing her resource and asset distribution system.

She sold off unused weapons and items taking up inventory space in exchange for points, then purchased the crystals, summoning beast fodder, and Starfall Ore she currently needed most.

As of now, all the noble inheritance obtained from the ancient castle had been fully converted.

Wu Yue happened to have exactly 100,000 Starfall Ores on hand—all snagged recently from the open market at prices slightly below the average.

Each filled slot provided a noticeable boost to the weapon’s attributes, though the process of socketing the ore also carried a chance of failure, resulting in lost ore.

However, Wu Yue's luck was astonishingly good, as she succeeded without fail all the way to the 17th socket.

Richard, "What is Wu Yue busy with right now? Why is she using so much Starfall Ore?"

Jian Suiyu, "No clue. Someone from the Jiang family came to rush her."

Richard, "Maybe you should urge her?"

Shen Que, "Hell no. I’d rather she stays here forever."

As they spoke,

a ridiculously flashy, game-wide announcement with golden, bold, scrolling text appeared before everyone’s eyes:

"Divine Insight!! Congratulations to Chiyan Wuyue for successfully enhancing the SSS-level golden divine weapon [Longyuan] to 18 sockets!!"

"Unbelievable!! Congratulations to Chiyan Wuyue for successfully enhancing the SSS-level golden divine weapon [Longyuan] to 19 sockets!!"

"Legendary Feat!! Congratulations to Chiyan Wuyue for successfully enhancing the SSS+-level purple-gold divine weapon [Longyuan] to the maximum 20 sockets!!"

Everyone went dead silent as they watched this system-wide broadcast spam the chat ten times straight.

Then, instinctively, they pulled up [Longyuan]’s stats to check the weapon’s full 20-socket attributes.

"Holy sh—"

Wu Yue heard everyone present gasp sharply. She looked at them in confusion, "What’s with the looks?"

Everyone lost their minds, "Do you have any idea what you just pulled off?!"

Wu Yue was puzzled, "Is it crazier than me one-shotting Leo?"

Richard clutched his head, "Ugh, how can that old fool Richard compare to an SSS+ divine weapon?! He's not worth shit!! He doesn’t deserve it!!"

Wu Yue nodded, "Oh, now that you mention it, I don’t want Leo either.

He’s too ugly, all wrinkled and old, totally ruining my ghost's looks. I stuffed him into a prop and gave him to you."

As she spoke, Wu Yue handed Richard a small black cloth doll containing Leo. "Since you’re about to succeed as the Pope, he has plenty of experience in the role. No need to stress about learning the ropes—he knows every dirty secret."

Richard stared in disbelief at Leo in Wu Yue’s hand. "This is an SSS-level summoning prop, Wu Yue... You actually make props?!"

This is too valuable, an SSS-level Arcane Arts prop!! I can’t accept it!!"

Wu Yue shoved Leo into Richard’s hands. "You think these grow on trees? Do you think SSS-level Popes just show up every day for me to capture?

And it’s not free. Take the prop, and you, Jian Suiyu, Bai Yi, and the others will come back to the Jiang family with me. We've got serious business waiting for you."

Jian Suiyu pointed at himself, "I’m going too?"

Wu Yue nodded. "That Vlad got tipped off so fast and sent people here obviously means someone inside the Jiang family leaked it.

Leo excels at extracting memories with psychic power and applying mental suggestions, while the real Zhenzhen can perform mass lie detection. Before the engagement, we must smoke out all the traitors."

Jian Suiyu/Richard, "Understood."

Shen Que looked envious and volunteered, "Can I go too? I’m very good at interrogations."

Everyone, "..."
