I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 723: Guaranteed Enhancement Culture Invades Blue Star?

While Lin Yi's enhancement techniques might not initially match Sun Dachuan's, this was solely because his Enhancement Skill had not yet reached its maximum potential. His prior use of the Inner Court to simulate this skill was not for show, but to demonstrate the capabilities of the Inner Court itself. After integrating the enhancement skills into his own skill tree, Lin Yi refrained from immediately inspecting it. Before his arrival at the Divine Refining Bureau, he had made a point to review the Enhancement Skill he had acquired.

Currently, Lin Yi's Enhancement Skill is at Tier One. Upon accessing his skill list, the detailed information for the skill was presented:

[Enhancement Skill][Type: Passive Skill][Tier: Tier One][System: Unknown][Cost: None][Chanting Time: None][Cooldown Time: None][Effect: Grants the ability to enhance equipment, allowing for enhancements from level 0 to +1-5. The success rate diminishes with increasing enhancement levels. Currently, the probability of success is 100% for +1, 90% for +2, 80% for +3, 70% for +4, 65% for +5, and a mere 5% for +6.][Remark: Enhancement, forging limitless possibilities]

Reading the skill description carefully, Lin Yi finally understood why his enhancements were capped at +5. A mere 5% success rate for +6 was woefully inadequate, risking the waste of precious materials and even risking damage to the equipment. With only a Tier One Enhancement Skill, pursuing further enhancements was simply not feasible.

Given his current Enhancement Skill level, Lin Yi acknowledged he was no match for Sun Dachuan. However, he possessed a substantial number of skill points, and he was confident that maxing out his Forging Skill would enable him to contend with Sun Dachuan.

With a focused thought, he brought up his skill panel and began allocating his points. The process saw his Enhancement Skill climb steadily:

[Cost 500 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier One to Tier Two][Cost 2000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Two to Tier Three][Cost 5000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Three to Tier Four][Cost 10000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Four to Tier Five][Cost 50000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Five to Tier Six][Cost 100,000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Six to Tier Seven]

....

[Cost 1,000,000 skill points, your Enhancement Skill was upgraded from Tier Eight to Tier Nine]

A subsequent inspection of the Enhancement Skill revealed a dramatic transformation. The skill had evolved significantly:

[Enhancement Skill][Type: Passive Skill][Tier: Tier Nine][System: Unknown][Cost: None][Chanting Time: None][Cooldown Time: None][Effect: Grants the ability to enhance equipment, allowing for enhancements from level 0 to +1-45. The success rate diminishes with increasing enhancement levels. Currently, the probability of success is 100% for enhancements up to +41, 90% for +42, 80% for +43, 70% for +44, 65% for +45, and a mere 5% for +46.][Remark: Enhancement, forging limitless possibilities]

Remarkably, each skill, upon reaching the Forbidden Curse tier, unlocked a new passive ability, and the Enhancement Skill was no exception. A new passive skill, 'Practice Makes Perfect,' was acquired.

[Gain new passive, Practice Makes Perfect][Practice Makes Perfect][Type: Passive Skill][Tier: Tier Nine][System: Unknown][Cost: None][Chanting Time: None][Cooldown Time: None][Effect: For every piece of equipment successfully enhanced to +45 independently, 1 point of luck is awarded. Each luck point boosts the probability of a +46 enhancement by 1%. All accumulated luck points are reset upon attempting a +46 enhancement. A successful +46 enhancement grants the Blessing of the Master Craftsman, yielding an unexpected surprise. Furthermore, each successful +45 enhancement permanently increases the success rate for enhancements below +45 by 5%.][Remark: Single draws won’t produce miracles, it’s better to rely on guarantees—certain S. games]

....

Lin Yi found himself slightly amused after reading the newly acquired passive's description. The inclusion of what seemed like a guaranteed success mechanic, reminiscent of certain gacha games, was unexpected. He paused, contemplating the implications. This implied that his Forging Skill could only progress so far unless he managed to enhance 95 pieces of equipment to +45 independently. Even with his ample skill points, this presented a daunting challenge.

A thorough review of the Enhancement Skill's point allocation revealed that the Forbidden Curse tier represented the pinnacle of enhancement skills. Divergent Forbidden Curse and Ancient Forbidden Curse were beyond his current reach, not due to a lack of materials or currency, but because the option to allocate points to them was simply absent.

Confirming that his vision was clear, Lin Yi began to appreciate his own foresight. Venturing into the Divine Refining Bureau had indeed been a stroke of absolute genius.

By sparring with Sun Dachuan, he could seize the opportunity to increase his renown, thereby motivating more individuals to seek him out for enhancing their +45 equipment.

"Dean, you're underestimating Mr. Sun. In terms of combat prowess, your skill is unparalleled. You are number one on Blue Star; not even a hundred Mr. Suns could contend with you in a fight."

"However, when it comes to enhancement techniques, Mr. Sun is truly exceptional. Furthermore, Dean, as a Mage, how would you go about enhancing equipment?"

Lin Yi's Enhancement Skill is known only to a select few.

Given his role as a Mage, it's entirely natural for others to harbor doubts about his Forging Skill.

Nevertheless, Lin Yi paid these remarks no mind; he listened as the elders at the Divine Refining Bureau lavished praise upon Sun Dachuan while they proceeded into the bureau.

The Divine Refining Bureau, following its official renovations, now boasts a much grander appearance than before.

Inside the forging room, numerous facilities are now available to assist enhancers in simplifying the enhancement process.

Yet, these devices remained unused.

Even for the more involved, though less technically demanding, preparatory stages, the enhancers at the Divine Refining Bureau were resolute in performing them manually.

At one of the enhancement platforms, Sun Dachuan was meticulously hammering equipment, his eyes closed.

His movements weren't merely for show; rather, he sought to savor each aspect of the enhancement process, every deliberate strike of the hammer.

"You've made significant progress, Dachuan. Enhancing equipment beyond the +40 mark should no longer pose a challenge for you, correct?"

Pulled from his engrossed state of hammering, Sun Dachuan's attention returned upon hearing the familiar voice.

While forging equipment is undeniably satisfying, isn't encountering a dear friend even more gratifying?

"Ah, what brings you to my Divine Refining Bureau? It's been too long, my friend."

Sun Dachuan promptly set aside the hammer he was holding, placing it on the tool table adjacent to the enhancement platform, and then swiftly moved towards Lin Yi.

"Indeed. I've been making my presence known at your Divine Refining Bureau's entrance all day, yet I couldn't gain entry. If these two elders hadn't opened the way for me, I might have become a truly rare sight."

Hearing the subtle sarcasm in Lin Yi's tone, Sun Dachuan couldn't help but break into hearty laughter.
