Chapter 105: Enchantment
When Qin Fan arrived at the smart enchantment area, the first thing he saw were rows of vintage-looking smart enchantment machines.
The smart enchantment machines were large, resembling massive high-tech CNC lathes.
Each machine had two platforms: one for placing enchantment materials and the other for placing the equipment to be enchanted.
The control panel was a holographic screen operated by the students themselves.
Each enchantment machine had a large dwarf face logo on the side, indicating that these machines were manufactured with dwarf technology.
Dwarves are a race naturally skilled in enhancement.
They excel in both enchanting and forging.
Of course…
Even though the success rate of these enchantment machines was quite low, countries around the world still ordered large quantities of smart enchantment machines from the Dwarf Empire every year.
The main reason was that hiring an enchanter was incredibly expensive.
Using 'Sacred Crystals,' the international currency, hiring a D-level enchanter would cost 500 Sacred Crystals, and their success rate wasn't higher than that of the enchantment machines.
Hiring a C-level enchanter, just one rank above D-level, would cost double at 1,000 Sacred Crystals, with only a 20% higher success rate than the machines.
Therefore, for many common transfer professionals, smart enchantment machines were undoubtedly the best choice.
Currently, dozens of smart enchantment machines were neatly arranged in this spacious and bright side hall.
In front of each smart enchantment machine stood many second-year students, creating occasional commotions.
“Wow! Purple-gold light!”
“Holy cow! He triggered five times lucky enchantment!”
“Amazing! So envious! His dog luck actually pulled it off!”
At this moment, as Qin Fan walked past a smart enchantment machine, a group of onlookers suddenly erupted in exclamations.
In front of the enchantment machine stood an extremely excited girl, trembling with joy as she gazed at the purple-gold glowing staff in front of her.
Clearly, the girl had succeeded in enchanting.
And…
She had triggered five times lucky enchantment.
For instance, if the materials you initially used showed an enchantment effect of: Strength +100, Intelligence +100, then with five times lucky enchantment, the effect would become: Strength +500, Intelligence +500.
The smart enchantment machine could trigger up to fifty times lucky enchantment.
But an A-level enchanter could trigger up to a hundred times lucky enchantment.
When you succeed in enchanting, the smart enchantment machine emits a golden light.
If you fail, it flashes a gray light.
If you're extremely unlucky and the equipment explodes, it emits a black light.
Five times lucky enchantment triggers a purple-gold light.
Ten times triggers a red-gold light.
Fifty times triggers a rainbow light.
However…
The girl who had triggered five times lucky enchantment was one of the few.
Most people sighed as the enchantment machine in front of them flashed gray light.
Among them were quite a few unlucky ones whose despairing wails signified their equipment had broken.
“Sigh! I told you to save up credits to hire an enchanter, but you didn't listen!”
“Now look, your equipment is broken! You're screwed!”
“Ha! I knew it would break!”
Some bystanders made schadenfreude remarks.
At the same time, some materials merchants and brokers approached.
“Hey student, want to sell the materials from your broken equipment? I'll buy them at a high price!”
Hmm…
It seems that no matter the game, activities like enhancement and fortification can really crush one's spirit.
At this moment.
Qin Fan had already arrived at an unused smart enchantment machine.
Behind him were an elegant elf girl in a blue and white knight's outfit and a mature woman in a cheongsam exuding a seductive aura.
This attracted the attention of many second-year students, who came over to watch.
Beautiful women, especially ones like Xu Nian-nian, an elf girl exuding noble and graceful aura, easily caught the eyes of the opposite sex.
However, she completely ignored the gazes directed at her.
Her clear, light-golden eyes were intently watching Qin Fan.
Buzz!!
At this moment, Qin Fan took out a long, exquisite, crimson staff from his storage ring.
The moment the staff appeared…
Roar!!
It was as if an extremely angry dragon's roar came from ancient times, causing everyone around to shudder involuntarily!
Wow!
This staff was no ordinary item!
Just from the magical aura it emitted and the faint dragon might, it was clear that this was a dragon-related staff!
Indeed.
It was the Blazing Staff forged from a segment of the Flame Dragon's spine!
Actually, weapons forged from dragon spines shouldn't be just level 20.
After thorough research, Qin Fan discovered that this weapon had sixteen empty enchantment slots!
The maximum forging level was as high as level ten!
This meant that to allow Qin Fan to use this extraordinary staff smoothly, the system had lowered its enchantment attributes and reduced its forging level to zero.
Typically, equipment had an initial forging level of one.
In simple terms…
This Blazing Staff was an extremely top-notch weapon embryo!
This was why Qin Fan was so eager to enchant and forge it.
Without any hesitation, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Qin Fan calmly placed the extraordinary staff into the smart enchantment machine.
“Whoa! Who is this guy? He doesn't hesitate at all when placing equipment!”
“Isn't he afraid it will break?”
“Could he be another rich kid from a noble family?”
“……”
It seemed that no one recognized Qin Fan.
Even though the school's official forum was buzzing with excitement, many older students hadn't paid much attention to the protagonist of that public opinion storm.
Such rumors, declared false by the officials, were like internet celebrity scandals—interesting at first glance but quickly forgotten.
Ding!
At this moment, the control panel of the smart enchantment machine displayed the relevant interface.
[You have selected the weapon for enchantment: Blazing Staff.]
[Level and Quality: Level 20, Gold Grade.]
[Please place the prepared main enchantment material on the material platform!]
Qin Fan took out the A-grade enchantment material 'Alien Core' from the 'Empire Laboratory' instance and placed it on the material platform.
[Material confirmed!]
[You have added the material: Alien Core.]
[Required auxiliary materials: 20 Mana Stones, 10 Fire Crystals, 10 Advanced Furnace Carbons.]
Qin Fan had already purchased these auxiliary materials with credits and placed them on the material platform as well.
Ding!
[All enchantment conditions met!]
[Current enchantment success rate: 15%.]
[Enchantment Protection Scrolls: 0.]
[Do you wish to start the enchantment?]
Wow!!
As this information appeared, before Qin Fan could decide, the surrounding onlookers began to stir.
