Chapter 320: Overall quality soars! Preparation before leaving!
In the field, more and more fiery secret power was escaping from Xian Ge.
It’s like turning this place into a huge melting pot.
The [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] have become "weapons" forged and tempered in this furnace.
Wisps of dark red light began to emerge from the air and gradually penetrated into the hulls of the two ships.
The next moment.
The surprised voices of Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing sounded in Xia En's mind.
[Master, what is this? 】
【So comfortable...】
This is Xiao Hei's reaction just after waking up from a deep sleep.
[I feel a force... coming up! 】
The other side.
Xiao Xing rarely shows a feeling of enjoyment.
[Captain...it's hot...so warm...]
[The body...has become clean...]
Xia En: "..."
Don't use such words that can easily cause misunderstanding!
However, Xia En also knew that Xiaoxing didn't mean anything strange, he was just telling the truth.
Because at this time, with the stimulation of [Fire Forging], a sticky, pitch-black substance gradually seeped out from the decks and hulls of [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan]. substance.
This black mucus has a pungent smell and looks very disgusting.
It's like old dirt that hasn't been cleaned, or like impurities that have been forced out of certain materials.
Seeing this scene, Xia En suddenly woke up.
The essence of the so-called [Fire Forging Technique] is actually to force out the bad things in items with the help of the unique [Secret Power of the Furnace].
Just like a blacksmith using a sledgehammer to continuously beat the forged weapon, it has the effect of removing impurities, making the original material denser, and even changing its properties.
The principles of the two are actually the same.
And if it were applied to a human body, it would probably be similar to "cleansing the classics and cutting the marrow" in martial arts novels.
Expelling all the dirt and impurities accumulated in the past from the body.
Just like the human body, there are bound to be many hidden wounds and dirt.
No matter how much Xia En takes care of the [Black Swan], there will inevitably be corners that cannot be cleaned.
Although some of the damage suffered by the two ships has been completely healed on the surface, some small incongruities or weaknesses will inevitably appear deeper in the hull.
One or two separate "hidden injuries" are actually harmless.
However, when such injuries continue to accumulate, it will inevitably affect the control of the hull.
It is as if there is a slight lag in the meshing of the gears, thereby reducing the efficiency of the ship's operation.
At this time, under the influence of [Forging Fire Technique], these small hidden wounds are also healing quickly.
Due to the talent of [Communicating Ship Souls], Xia En quickly understood the feelings of Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing.
A numb and numb feeling came from the depths of the soul, with a slight itching feeling, like a deep massage.
I was a little uncomfortable at first, but soon I got better and felt indescribably comfortable.
That’s it in this process.
Xia En noticed that the last obstacle to the strengthening of the two ships was also eliminated quietly.
As if everything fell into place, the strengthening of the ship was completely completed.
[Strengthening completed! 】
【Black Swan (+8)! 】
【Diamond Star (+3)! 】
As if to verify Xia En's feeling, a few lines of text flashed on the panel.
Moreover, the numbers are rising one by one compared to the previous ones.
With this enhancement, [Black Swan] has directly changed from (+3) to (+8), while [Diamond Star] has been directly upgraded to (+5)!
Thinking about it, it was probably because the materials Xia En invested this time were too large and precious, and had exceeded the upper limit of a single enhancement.
In other words, the effect of this enhancement is approximately equal to the previous five times, which is why there is such a prompt.
At the same time.
Under the effect of the talent [Captain’s Majesty], huge and vast power began to wash over Xia En’s body like a wave.
This wash was so fierce that thunder sounded in Xia En's body, and the waves rolled like waves on the boundless sea.
If the secret power washes away on weekdays, it is like an ordinary wave.
Then this time, the secret power coming from somewhere is like a tsunami!
Thankfully, Xia En's body has been tempered many times, far beyond the scope of ordinary people.
Otherwise, just accepting the baptism of this mysterious power might lead to death.
Even if Xia En resisted the erosion of the secret power, given his physique, he still had a rare feeling of being "overstuffed".
It can be seen that the gift of this secret power is rich.
Immediately, the bones, muscles, and nerves in Xia En's body all entered an active state, greedily absorbing this huge secret power.
And in the process, we continue to grow, become stronger and tougher.
A rich sense of power filled almost every corner of Xia En's body.
on the panel.
[Comprehensive quality: 17.5→18…]
[18→20…]
[20→23…]
This number Constantly beating and growing, it finally settled on——
[Comprehensive quality: 25! 】
The next moment.
Xia En opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, his whole temperament suddenly changed, as if he had changed from a quiet and peaceful handsome young man to a terrifying beast wearing human skin.
If a person with weaker strength stood next to him, he would be frightened and his mind would go blank.
This was not Xia En's intention, but just because his power suddenly surged and he failed to control his aura.
"Huh...this feeling..."
Xia En let out a long breath, his face full of excitement.
This feeling of being filled with power within the body is really wonderful.
Xia En even felt that he might be able to carry the entire [Black Swan] for battle.
Of course, the idea was just an idea, and he had no intention of putting it into practice.
Xia En was also pleasantly surprised by the increase in the values on the panel.
The increase of 7.5% is even greater than the benefit brought by breaking through the fifth level!
Obviously, this is the power of "Krypton Gold"!
The materials Xia En purchased during this period almost emptied his fortune.
——Except for the materials used to construct the ritual, the remaining materials are all used to strengthen the ship.
It would be abnormal if we spend such a large amount of money and fail to make some splash!
"It's not in vain that I spent so much money..."
Xia En sighed softly, feeling that it was well worth the money.
If the money is gone, you can spend it again, but if your life is gone, you have nothing.
Using money and merits in exchange for ready-made strength to face the coming "second world-destroying flood" is definitely a sure-fire deal.
Soon, Joey and others also noticed the change in Xia En's aura.
"Mr. Captain, you have become stronger again!" Joey's eyes were filled with admiration.
However, she and Xia En have been together for so long, and she has already discovered...
It seems that every time the [Black Swan] is modified and strengthened, Captain Shane's strength will be significantly improved?
"Maybe...this is the bond between Mr. Captain and [Black Swan]?"
At the same time.
Xian Ge’s [Forging Fire Technique] on [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] is almost coming to an end.
A lot of dark, viscous liquid oozed from both ships, and emitted a strong odor.
[Master, it stinks! Give me a quick shower! 】
Xiao Hei, who loves cleanliness, couldn't help complaining to Xia En in his consciousness.
[I feel like I have become dirty...]
Even Xiaoxing, who has a gloomy personality, showed a similar attitude and muttered in a low voice.
【My body is sticky...so uncomfortable...】
Although this kind of "cleansing and cutting off the marrow" is very satisfying, the aftermath is very troublesome.
Fortunately, Shane is surrounded by Miss Joy, who has mastered many magic spells.
Xia En just looked at him, and Joey understood. He tapped the staff in his hand towards the two ships.
【Wind and rain are coming! 】
A gentle sea breeze mixed with raindrops blew from the sky.
Subsequently, the raindrops became more and more dense, constantly washing away the bodies of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], and washing those filthy objects into the sea.
Due to Joey's own characteristics, this spell even has a certain sanctity.
——It’s like a magical spell cast by Storm Priest.
It naturally has [purifying] and [washing] properties.
So, under the baptism of this wind and rain, the bodies of the two ships became clean again.
After the dirt was washed away, the images of the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan] could be described as completely new.
Not only has the size of the entire ship slightly increased, but the internal structure has also undergone considerable changes.
The deck is clean and tidy, even so smooth that it seems to reflect a human face.
The windows are bright and clear, and all the original dirt has disappeared.
The wooden planks on the walls of the ship also give off a fresh, vital smell.
It's like... these two ships were just built not long ago!
“Wow, [Black Swan] has become so clean and beautiful!”
Seeing this, Joey couldn’t help but exclaimed: “It’s just like brand new.”< br>
Fei Ya stared at the [Diamond Star] on the side, unable to look away for a while.
In fact, [Diamond Star] has always been very good-looking.
Just because it has been wandering for such a long time after becoming a ghost ship, the hull inevitably shows signs of damage and aging.
At this time, after brushing away the dust and scars of the past, this former "Noah's Ark" showed its due majesty.
On the ship's hull, which has been washed away from the lead dust, elegant and elegant lines are clearly drawn.
The white sails sway gently in the sea breeze.
Under the sunlight, the deck and windows shine, and those exquisite and classically beautiful designs are barely visible to everyone.
Strong as a diamond.
And as bright as the stars.
This is the best wish that the name [Diamond Star] entrusts!
【This...is me? 】
From the reflection on the sea surface, Xiaoxing seemed to see clearly what she looked like at this time, and couldn't help but be surprised.
She was used to the gloomy, gray, ghost ship-like version of herself, but she was a little unaccustomed to seeing this glamorous appearance all of a sudden.
It's like Cinderella turned into a princess overnight.
“Yes, this is you.”
Xia En comforted [Diamond Star] in his heart: “From now on, you will only be more dazzling and beautiful than this!”
【Really...really? 】
Xia En vowed: "I swear in the name of Xia En!"
Inspired by him, Xiaoxing had some expectations for that kind of future.
After coaxing this awkward ship spirit, Xia En’s mouth twitched slightly.
"But having said that, this effect...is a bit too exaggerated?"
To be honest, not only the other crew members, but also him were shocked by it.
At this time, the newness of the two ships made him feel a little unfamiliar, as if they had been restored to factory settings.
But in fact, no matter which ship they are, they have been significantly enhanced compared to when they were first built.
Especially [Black Swan].
You know, the [Black Swan] was just a small and medium-sized three-masted sailboat at the beginning, but now, it has grown into a large ship that can be compared with the [Diamond Star].
Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
It's as if his child has finally grown up and can take charge of his own business.
Of course, Xia En has not forgotten the biggest contributor to this enhancement.
He turned around and said: "Xian Ge, thank you for your hard work this time."
Xian Ge has now descended from a high place and returned to the crowd.
As soon as it landed on the ground, the little dragon slumped down, its breath was sluggish, and it kept breathing heavily. It seemed that it was not even willing to move.
It was obvious that the [Fire Forging Technique] used on the two ships just now was a huge burden on Xiange and made her very tired.
Xian Ge weakly cast the magic of mimicry and turned back into the appearance of a little girl.
In this state, her face was extremely pale and covered in cold sweat, which made Xia En feel a little distressed.
Moreover, even after this, Xian Ge puffed up her chest and said with a hint of pride.
“Huh, let me just say it’s okay to leave it to me, right?”
"My majestic bronze dragon, Xiange Maya, has always kept my word!"
This time, Xia En did not suppress her arrogance, but gently touched her little head, sincerely praised.
"Yes, yes, Xian Ge is the best."
"Hehe..."
After receiving the compliment, Xian Ge grinned, but his body fell to the side unconsciously. .
Xia En had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly supported her.
"Xian Ge!?"
Seeing this, Joey's expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "What's wrong with her?"
Xia En observed carefully for a moment and relaxed. He said in a tone: "Don't worry, she's just too tired."
The little girl fell into his arms and fell asleep with a steady breath, but she was still mumbling something like "The Bronze Dragon World's No. 1 1. Words such as "I am so powerful".
Xia En couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
You have to wait until you praise her before you fall asleep. You even say this in your dream. This obsession is too deep, right?
Subsequently, Xia En and others spent some time processing the traces left near the port.
Let the [Diamond Star] hide in the shadow of the [Black Swan] again.
Immediately afterwards, Xia En asked the crew to move around on their own and enjoy the last period of time on [Liu Li Island].
He himself went to the [Federal Library] and prepared to say goodbye to the administrator Jane Vivian.
Most of his goals on [Liu Li Island] have been achieved, and it’s time to set off on the road!
