Chapter 56: Crazy Upgrades, Powerful Added Effects!
Following the old man into the workshop, Fang Bo listened to his constant complaints along the way.
At one moment, he was grumbling about reincarnators being useless, and the next, he was criticizing some of the bizarre rules of the Reincarnation Space.
“Only by recycling certain technological creations can we gradually unlock blueprints, but the prices you offer are too low. Only a fool would choose to sell their stuff to the Space.”
The old man sat down with a sigh, tapping away on some instruments. Soon, a blue holographic screen appeared in front of them.
After staring at the screen for a while, the old man showed a peculiar expression, a mix of regret and surprise. “I’ve got good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Bad news first,” Fang Bo wasn’t one to follow someone else’s script.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the upper hand here. Ignoring his response, the old man started speaking anyway. “Alright, let’s start with the good news.”
“The item you have here, even though it’s a prototype, is fully functional. However, its overall performance falls far short of a finished product.”
As the holographic image of the battle suit spun around, Fang Bo could clearly see its overall design.
Thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, “Can I make some adjustments, like getting rid of that ridiculous number?”
“Easy. As long as it doesn’t affect the core function of the Raid Suit, you can paint it any color you want,” the old man responded nonchalantly, as if these changes were trivial.
“In that case, make it white, with no patterns. I prefer a clean, minimalist style.”
After a brief pause, Fang Bo hesitantly asked, “So, uh, what’s the bad news?”
Without answering, the old man made a few more adjustments on the console, and a long list of rare materials appeared on the screen.
A quick glance showed at least 30 different materials, each with its corresponding price. And to make things clear, the old man helpfully displayed the total cost at the end.
[Raid Suit (Purity Edition), Production Cost: Approximately 8,850 Plot Points (Material prices may fluctuate over time)]
Seeing Fang Bo’s shocked expression, the old man patiently explained, “It’s not surprising that you’re shocked. This item should actually belong to a world with difficulty level two.”
In other words, it was already a stretch that Fang Bo even got his hands on it at this stage, so the high price shouldn’t be a point of frustration.
“Sigh, nearly 9,000 plot points… Even well-established teams would struggle to come up with that, let alone someone like you who’s solo.”
“Uh…” Fang Bo snapped back to reality and glanced at his current Plot Points.
**Plot Points: 7,855**
It looked like he was still a little short. If he sold a few items, he could probably make up the difference, but he still needed to reserve some for skill upgrades.
Despite thinking he had made significant progress in the *One Piece* world, it was still a drop in the ocean when it came to top-tier gear.
“Having level two difficulty world gear would definitely help me in future scenarios,” Fang Bo thought as he glanced at his precious items, contemplating whether to sell them. Those two items that could unlock new worlds would surely fetch a high price.
Perhaps sensing Fang Bo’s eagerness, the old man’s next comment extinguished his enthusiasm instantly.
“Kid, I know you’re capable, but do you even realize the attribute requirements for gear like this?”
That reminder was enough to bring Fang Bo back to his senses.
Right—how could he have forgotten? Level two world gear would require attributes to be at least 20 points or higher.
This battle suit, combining clothing, pants, cloak, and shoes, would likely have multi-attribute requirements, possibly requiring several stats to exceed 20 points.
Even if he could afford to make it now, it would just sit in his inventory, collecting dust.
“I got ahead of myself,” Fang Bo admitted, thanking the old man sincerely and promising to come back when he met the necessary requirements.
Seeing that Fang Bo had calmed down, the old man smiled and waved him off. “Good, good. As long as you’ve got your head on straight. We craftsmen rely on you folks to bring in more treasures.”
After thanking the old man, Fang Bo left the workshop, putting thoughts of the Raid Suit aside for now. It was time to upgrade his only active skill.
[Heal (Lv2-Lv3), Upgrade Cost: 600 Plot Points. Confirm upgrade?]
It was a steep price, but the added effect was worth it.
Back when it first appeared, most reincarnators dismissed it as a useless healing skill.
Who would waste their own health to heal others? It seemed like a reckless skill that no one in their right mind would use.
But this upgrade gave the skill a new meaning.
[Upgrade successful! Heal has gained the special effect “Drain.”]
**Lv3 Effect: Drain, consumes 4 Spirit points to absorb the target’s life through sustained contact.**
“So, I’ve gained a life-stealing ability?” Fang Bo paused for a moment, then decided to test it out.
First, he summoned the Three Giant Brothers. Then, he pulled out his Dragoon and shot himself in the leg.
Watching his health drop by more than 20 points, he ordered Tutu to lower its head and placed his hand on it.
“Drain!”
[Skill Drain activated. Your health has increased by 1.]
[Skill Drain activated. Your health has increased by 1.]
[Skill Drain activated. Your health has increased by 1.]
“Restoring 1 health per second… not bad.”
With this ability, Fang Bo could quickly restore his health after battles, saving a lot of medical supplies in the long run.
However, he wasn’t completely satisfied. This ability wasn’t particularly useful in combat situations.
In the heat of battle, there was rarely time to sit back and recover slowly. In dangerous situations, he’d still need to rely on medical items.
No choice but to upgrade again.
[Heal (Lv3-Lv4), Upgrade Cost: 800 Plot Points. Confirm upgrade?]
“Confirm.”
This upgrade increased the healing percentage.
**Effect: By burning your own health, you can heal the target for 120% of their health.**
Now, burning 100 points of his own health could heal others for 120 points. It still had that self-sacrificing feel to it, and Fang Bo wasn’t particularly fond of it.
On the bright side, the *Drain* effect now restored 2 health per second, so his 800 Plot Points weren’t entirely wasted.
Still not enough. He needed more upgrades.
After all, the reason he fought so hard in the *One Piece* world was for this moment.
[Heal (Lv4-Lv5), Upgrade Cost: 1000 Plot Points. Confirm upgrade?]
“Confirm.”
After the upgrade, the *Drain* effect now restores 3 health points per second, and the healing ratio for *Heal* increased to 130%, making it a pretty decent improvement.
“One more level up, and I can unlock the second special effect and further improve the *Drain* effect.”
[Heal Lv5 to Lv6 requires 1200 plot points. Confirm upgrade?]
“Confirm.”
[Upgrade successful! Heal has gained the special effect: “Deterioration.”]
**Level 6 Effect: “Deterioration” consumes 3 Spirit Points, ignores target resistance, and inflicts negative statuses such as tendon rupture and burn.**
With the skill upgraded, Fang Bo first tested the upgraded *Drain* skill. He found that it now restored 4 health points per second, and the Spirit cost had dropped by 1 point, requiring only 3 Spirit points to activate.
“Now, let’s test this *Deterioration* skill.”
Once again, Tutu was the test subject—poor Tutu, tough and durable as always. Fang Bo placed his hand on the summoned creature, and as 3 Spirit points were consumed, Tutu was suddenly engulfed in flames.
The fire wasn’t particularly intense, but it dealt steady damage over time. Based on the battle log, Fang Bo quickly understood the effects of the burn status.
[Deterioration skill activated successfully. Target is affected by Burn status, taking 5 points of fire damage per second. Status duration: 10 seconds.]
“Ignoring resistance means that as long as I touch them, the target will suffer a total of 50 burn damage.”
For low-health enemies, a single touch would practically guarantee their death.
After testing the burn effect, Fang Bo moved on to try out the tendon rupture effect.
[Deterioration skill activated successfully. Target is affected by Tendon Rupture status. Movement speed reduced by 80%. Status duration: 10 seconds.]
Watching Tutu hobble around sluggishly, Fang Bo’s eyes lit up.
Tendon rupture would be incredibly effective in slowing down agile enemies. Once their speed dropped, they’d be overwhelmed by his summoned creatures, barely escaping alive—if at all.
Both *Deterioration* and *Drain* had no cooldowns, meaning Fang Bo could theoretically hold on to an enemy and continuously activate the effects. The only condition was not letting the enemy break free.
Satisfied with his experiments, Fang Bo spared poor Tutu and opened up the skill menu to admire his newly enhanced ability.
[Name: Heal
Level: 6
Grade: B
Effect: By burning your own health, you can heal the target for 140% of their health.
Cost: 3 Spirit Points
Learning Requirement: Spirit 15
Source: *Redo of Healer*]
[Skill Evaluation: The pain of the healed target is instantly transferred to the caster, causing immense suffering.]
[Level 3 Effect: Drain, consumes 3 Spirit Points to absorb the target’s health through sustained contact.]
[Level 6 Effect: Deterioration, consumes 3 Spirit Points, ignores target resistance, and inflicts negative statuses like Tendon Rupture and Burn.]
Seeing the upgraded effects, who could still claim this was the worst B-tier skill? Used properly, it could elevate a reincarnator’s strength to an entirely new level.
If Fang Bo could pair this with a powerful shikigami, the combined power would be terrifying.
“The only problem now is figuring out how to actually touch the enemy.”
For a moment, Fang Bo considered changing his stat distribution and investing in agility earlier than planned.
Being faster would definitely increase his chances of touching opponents, but that might cause a disconnect with his summoned creatures.
“If only I had a way to control enemies from a distance,” he thought wistfully.
