Chapter 966: Koi·Zhu Bajie
The continuous sound of system upgrades echoed in Jiang Liu's mind.
At the same time, Jiang Liu could feel a significant improvement in his strength.
The initial 10-level increase was because his Heavenly Retribution state finally disappeared after completing the quest.
The subsequent 2-level increase was due to recent monster farming for upgrades, combined with the Experience Points from rescuing Gaoyang, in addition to the Experience Points from this quest.
Adding them together, so a direct 2-level increase was it?
With his level jumping to 82, Jiang Liu was naturally very happy.
In terms of level, now I'm completely at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal, right?
The reward for rescuing Gaoyang was 1.5 billion Experience Points.
In fact, when letting Gaoyang leave the Purple Bamboo Forest, it was already considered completed, but I couldn't contact Gaoyang afterward, indicating the system couldn't sense his presence either.
Thus, the quest that should have been completed was stuck there.
However, with Gaoyang successfully returning, the quest was completed, and the 1.5 billion Experience Points were credited.
Recently, while killing those demons and ghosts, according to the experience bar, Jiang Liu was not far from level 81.
And now, with another 8.8 billion Experience Points credited, Jiang Liu directly leveled up to 82.
"So, I now have two Divine Level Treasure Chests and two Epic Level Treasure Chests?"
After completing the mission, Jiang Liu opened his inventory space and took a look.
Sure enough, there was another Divine Level Treasure Chest and two Epic Level Treasure Chests.
Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then took out a pair of dice and threw them on the ground.
Even though the Divine Level Quest of rescuing Gaoyang was completed, Jiang Liu had been waiting for a time when he felt lucky to open the Divine Level Treasure Chest.
Lately busy with killing demons and ghosts, this chest had been held in hand.
Using a Destiny item could enhance luck to get good items when opening chests, but Destiny is very precious.
Using Destiny to enhance luck to open the chest would consume Destiny to some extent, right?
So, unless necessary, Jiang Liu wasn't willing to use such a method to open chests anymore.
The two dice rolled on the ground, one landed on five points and the other on six points.
"Hmm, not bad! Although it's not the maximum of 12 points, it's already pretty good!"
Seeing the dice points, Jiang Liu nodded to himself.
This point count is acceptable.
It's worth mentioning that when killing Feidan, two Legendary Level pieces of equipment and items were dropped.
However, this equipment seemed a bit of a chicken rib for Jiang Liu and the others; the usefulness of the items wasn't significant either.
So, Jiang Liu casually tossed them into the gang's treasury.
Then, he took out two Epic Level Treasure Chests from his inventory space.
After some thought, Jiang Liu opened one of the treasure chests.
Soon, a scroll appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
Sun Wukong and the others nearby, watching Jiang Liu opening chests, curiously gathered around.
Generally, whenever Master opens chests, he often gets good stuff, right? Maybe we could get a share?
Jiang Liu took the scroll out from the Epic Level Treasure Chest.
As Jiang Liu's gaze focused on it, the scroll's level information also materialized in front of him.
High-Level Weapon Upgrade Scroll (Consumable): Can upgrade any weapon with a level requirement not higher than 85, below Epic Level, to an 85-level requirement, with corresponding attribute enhancement.
"Huh? This High-Level Weapon Upgrade Scroll is quite effective!" Looking at the relevant information on the scroll, Jiang Liu showed a surprised expression, quietly murmuring to himself.
Of course, an 85-level Equipment Upgrade Scroll? Currently, only Sun Wukong has reached level 85, right?
It seems this upgrade scroll can only be given to him.
Moreover, Monkey's Jingu Bang is indeed somewhat of a chicken rib for him now.
"Wukong, give me your Jingu Bang!"
With just a glance at this upgrade scroll, Jiang Liu knew it could only be used by Sun Wukong, so he spoke to him.
"Master, here you go!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, how could Sun Wukong not understand that this meant a benefit for himself? His eyes brightened as he immediately handed over his Jingu Bang.
Receiving the Jingu Bang handed over by Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu didn't waste any time. He unfolded the Weapon Upgrade Scroll and placed the Jingu Bang on it.
A strange light flashed, and the Weapon Upgrade Scroll completely disappeared.
However, the Jingu Bang now looked entirely different, more radiant than ever.
Of course, the main aspect was the data change after the upgrade.
Jiang Liu was curious and seriously looked at the Jingu Bang, and the information after the upgrade naturally appeared before Jiang Liu.
Ruyi Golden Cudgel (Epic Level): Requires Level 85, Attack Power +82,000,000, Soul Binding: Sun Wukong; Special Effect 1: Armor Penetration Strike, the next attack ignores 50% of the opponent's defense, Cooldown Time 3600 seconds; Special Effect 2 (Twin Essence Oil): Choose to convert all your attack power into defense power, or convert all your defense power into attack power, Cooldown Time 3600 seconds!
This is quite an upgrade!
Looking at the upgraded level details of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Jiang Liu's face showed a surprised expression.
This is completely a groundbreaking change, isn't it?
Originally, the level requirement for the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was Level 75, now it has become Level 85, which can be said to have improved by one major realm.
And originally, the attack power of the Golden Cudgel was just over 10 million, but now, it has changed to 82 million?
This attack power has increased nearly eight times!
Impressive!
Looking at the augmentation effect of the Golden Cudgel, Jiang Liu nodded quietly to himself.
Although the special effects haven't enhanced, the sheer increase in attack power alone is already very terrifying.
An Epic Level treasure chest can produce such an Equipment Enhancement Scroll, which indeed demonstrates very high value.
"Here you go!"
After the enhancement, Jiang Liu naturally returned the Golden Cudgel to Sun Wukong.
Without further ado, Sun Wukong hurriedly took the Golden Cudgel from Jiang Liu's hand.
Because of the embedded Soul Gem binding, Sun Wukong could clearly sense the changes in the Golden Cudgel when he held it.
This filled Sun Wukong's face with surprise, but even more so, with joy.
"Master, you really are amazing, my Golden Cudgel has become extremely powerful!" Sun Wukong couldn't help but say joyfully, as he swung the Monkey Staff around after holding the Golden Cudgel.
"Hmm, as long as you like it!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu nodded.
Now that Sun Wukong's strength has increased, the entire Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team's strength has improved, and Jiang Liu is naturally pleased.
"Monkey Brother, how much has your Golden Cudgel been enhanced?" On the side, Zhu Bajie appeared somewhat enviously distressed, gazing eagerly at Sun Wukong and asking.
"How to put it... The current enhancement allows I, Old Sun to wield it more comfortably, and the overall increase seems to be nearly tenfold!" Although he couldn't see the specific data changes, after carefully feeling the changes in the Golden Cudgel, Sun Wukong replied.
"Nearly tenfold increase!"
As expected, the people beside him, upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, all showed surprised expressions, finding it hard to believe.
Crying with envy!
Upon hearing the enhancement effect of Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel, Zhu Bajie really did cry out with envy.
Then his gaze fell on Jiang Liu, looking slightly forlorn.
"You don't have to look at your master like that, if your cultivation level had been raised to the Great Luo Middle Stage earlier, your master would have helped you enhance it too!" Seeing the forlorn look in Zhu Bajie's eyes, Jiang Liu replied.
Alright, Jiang Liu's words left Zhu Bajie completely speechless.
No way around it, who makes my cultivation level not match up to Monkey Brother's?
"Alright then, Master, when there's something similar in the future, let I, Old Pig use it!" Nodding, Zhu Bajie said somewhat helplessly.
"Firstly, my cultivation level is currently higher than yours, so if there's anything, your master uses it first!"
"Secondly, how likely is it for something similar to appear a second time? The probability is too small!" Jiang Liu shook his head in response to Zhu Bajie's words.
This is the truth, for instance, things like Max Level Experience Scroll, Random Teleportation Stone, each has a high utility, but seems to possess a unique quality.
Anyway, whenever he opens a treasure chest, he has never opened the same thing twice.
"Sometimes, it's good to hold onto hope, what if it comes true, right!?" Zhu Bajie seemed unbothered, still holding onto his conviction.
Alright then, Jiang Liu didn't need to argue against Zhu Bajie's words.
Quietly shaking his head, he then took out the second Epic Level treasure chest.
Seeing the master take out another treasure chest, Zhu Bajie and the others widened their eyes, watching him expectantly.
Another treasure chest?
I wonder what the master can get this time?
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu slowly opened this Epic Level treasure chest.
As the treasure chest opened, Jiang Liu's expression slightly froze, looking like he was hit by the Immobilization Technique.
No need to check the specific attributes, just from its appearance, Jiang Liu could guess its attribute information.
"Hahaha, master, I, Old Pig, was right, wasn't I?"
Peeking inside, what the treasure chest contains is an entirely identical scroll as earlier, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but break into a smile.
Jiang Liu took it out, glanced over and indeed, the attribute information was identical, another Level 85 Weapon Upgrade Scroll.
"Bajie, I think you should have a nickname!"
"Master, what nickname?"
"Lucky Carp Zhu Bajie!"
