The Ultimate Evolution Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048: 1048
Sheyan was really tired at the moment . In the previous world, he first had to go up against the mastermind behind the scenes, and then he had to try his best to achieve the highest degree of completion in the following mission . It would be strange if he was not tired!

There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, but fortunately, he did not have to give an immediate answer, so Sheyan planned to take a good rest first and think about his next step carefully .

He checked the reward he had just received, the liquid metal enhanced lifeform (fledgling), with antic.i.p.ation . He wondered what kind of stats this thing which he had worked so hard to get would have, and whether it was worth the effort .

The thing in front of Sheyan right now was a viscous ma.s.s of silvery liquid substance about the size of a watermelon . A vortex of light would appear from time to time on its surface . When Sheyan touched it with a finger, the viscous ma.s.s would slightly wrap around the finger, and then loosened, like the sensation of dough .

Sheyan inquired through the nightmare imprint and obtained a clear description .

[ Liquid metal enhanced life-form (embryo): This is a new kind of combat weapon developed from liquid metal . This lifeform had been imprinted with your soul imprint . After it is attached, you will be able to change its shape according to your will, but because it is currently in a semi-complete form, it has only has a strengthening effect at present . The details are as follows: ]

[ You can command your liquid metal enhanced lifeform attach itself to your weapon, and the weapon will gain a special effect equal to an additional +3 strengthening . If the additional effect pushes the strengthening level to a key level (4, 7, 10), an additional special effect will be produced . The special effect will be randomly selected and will be added to the weapon . ]

[ Once an additional special effect is produced, the effect will be set . Within 72 hours, even if the lifeform is re-attached several times, the additional special effect will not change . ]

[ You can also command the liquid metal enhanced lifeform to attach itself to a piece of armour . The armour will gain an additional +500 HP and absorb 10% of all damage . ]

[ You can also command the liquid metal enhanced lifeform to attach itself to a piece of armour . The armour will gain an additional +500 HP and absorb 10% of all damage . ]

[ Hint: Every time the liquid metal enhanced lifeform attached itself to an equipment, 5000 utility points will be consumed, and the cooldown time is 12 hours . ]

Sheyan was eager to try this and see what kind of special effect he would get . He stared at the liquid metal enhanced lifeform in front of him while commanding it with his mind . The thing started squirming like a snake . It then crawled onto the 'Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves' of his, and seeped inside through any crack it could find . In the end, the liquid metal enhanced lifeform completely disappeared, and a layer of a silvery-white metal appeared on the surface of the gloves . The layer of metal looked as if it was plated onto the glove .

When he checked the description of the gloves again, there were some new information .

[ Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves +3 (temporary strengthening) . Attack power increased by 10-40 points . ]

[ Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves +3 (temporary strengthening) . Attack power increased by 10-40 points . ]

Sheyan checked the status of his utility points and potential points, and found that he had an ample amount of them after the deal with Five Wheels . So, he headed to the designated equipment strengthening place inside the realm, intending to strengthen the pair of miner gloves to +1 .

Strengthening was admittedly a very difficult process, so much so that many people had gone bankrupt from it, but to strengthen the gloves to just +1 should not be too difficult .

Sheyan placed the miner's gloves into the strengthening device, and found that the temporary strengthening effect was indeed disregarded as he expected . The fee was also the cost to strengthen from +0 to +1, so this strengthening did not take much effort .

After the strengthening, Sheyan discovered an additional effect on the equipment .

[ +4 temporary special effect: When you successfully use 'Tactical Throw' to grab the enemy, you gain a 10% bonus in Strength . This effect lasts for 30 minutes . ]
After the strengthening, Sheyan discovered an additional effect on the equipment .

[ +4 temporary special effect: When you successfully use 'Tactical Throw' to grab the enemy, you gain a 10% bonus in Strength . This effect lasts for 30 minutes . ]

[ This effect has domain precedence . ]

[ Warning: If the temporary strengthening is removed, this effect will also be removed . ]

As soon as Sheyan saw that the temporary special effect had domain precedence, which was second only to domain authority, he instantly knew that the liquid metal enhanced life-form could indeed evolve into a divine equipment . Such a high precedence was absolutely not normal .

just="" as="" he="" was="" about="" to="" go="" back="" to="" the="" real="" world="" to="" take="" a="" good="" rest,="" the="" nightmare="" imprint="" suddenly="" heated="" up="" .="" he=""

to="" drag="" his="" body="" to="" the="" hall="" of="" honour="" after="" a="" little="" hesitation="" .="" sheyan="" had="" gained="" his="" own="" exclusive="" office="" after="" he="" was=""

that="" it="" was="" a="" bonus="" promotion="" opportunity,="" it="" should="" be="" a="" special="" occasion="" or="" something,="" so="" the="" difficulty="" of="" the="" mission="" should="" be=""
