Spoils and Equipment Enhancement

As the flesh-mountain-type Evil Ghoul was killed, the nearby Candy Mountain, piled up like a small hill, collapsed with a loud bang.

The candy scattered all over the ground completely covered the corpse of the Evil Ghoul, almost burying Gu Xi and the others as well.

However, Gu Xi didn't care about any of that at the moment. The Steel City Gate was still there. Gu Xi called out to the inside, and the Ghost Squad, who specialized in cleaning up battlefields, flew out and began to clean up the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the severely damaged Evil Bone Locust began to feed again, digesting the evil energy while replenishing their own population.

While his men were cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Xi also came to the corpse of the Evil Ghoul.

As the mountain of flesh fell in battle, the smaller, Evil Ghoul that had originally assembled it were scattered all over the ground.

However, when these Evil Ghoul die, their bodies explode on the spot, and their gastric juices spray out, melting some things nearby.

Even the food was not spared.

When Gu Xi came over, he saw some things that stomach acid couldn't dissolve soaking in the liquid.

However, there was no need for Gu Xi to issue any orders at this point. As long as he glanced at it, someone would immediately take care of the task.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xi arrived at the place where the Evil Ghoul had died, the Ghost Squad had already proactively brought various things soaked in gastric juices to Gu Xi.

Seeing the identical White Impermanence holding things and standing in front of him in a line, Gu Xi suddenly felt as if he had become the King of Yama, about to be escorted to the Yellow Springs.

Seeing this situation, Gu Xi suddenly had a thought that even the Lord of the Underworld was probably no better than this.

Then, various messages began to pop up in front of Gu Xi's eyes.

You have received 1317 portions of food scraps.

You have obtained 73 Rotten Weapon Shard (White).

You have obtained 39 pieces of Fused Metal (Green).

You have obtained 12 Evil Hair (Blue)

You have obtained 19 Evil Flesh Mass (Level 6)

[Food Residue (Gray): Undigested food residue containing special powers, which can be used as an ingredient in alchemical potions.]

[Rotten Weapon Shard (White): Fragments remaining from weapons corroded by Strong Acid. These can be given to soldiers, increasing each soldier's attack power by 2-3 points after use.]

[Fused Metal (Green): A special metal formed by melting and compressing large amounts of indigestible metal. It can be used to enhance the weapons and equipment of players or Hero, increasing the weapon or equipment level by 1-2 levels with each enhancement.]

[Evil Hair (Blue): The finest hair from Evil Ghoul, used to craft robes or other textiles of blue quality or higher.]

[Evil Flesh Mass (Level 6): The flesh and blood of Evil Ghoul, usable by your troops, instantly raising ten soldiers to level 6 (after being raised, the soldiers will be affected by evil energy and become corrupted soldiers).]

[Evil Core (Purple): Can transform a Blue Quality weapon into a purple weapon or equipment, but the weapon or equipment will be affected by corrupted energy, and its negative effects will be greatly amplified.]

[...]

Looking at his harvest, Gu Xi's gaze finally fell on the Evil Core, which was only the size of a thumb and looked like a red ore.

This is an item used to directly improve the quality of equipment, Gu Xi had never seen before.

I don't know if this thing works well or not, but one thing is certain: Gu Xi has never worried about any negative effects. The Orange Equipment Fox Eye Ring can directly suppress the negative effects of two purple-grade items, and the negative effects of other purple-grade items will also be halved.

Now Gu Xi needs to consider which equipment to upgrade.

This made Gu Xi hesitate. He turned his head to look at his Cold Wind Staff, then at the Mind Nether Lamp he was holding in his left hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to choose.

However, Gu Xi eventually put down the Cold Wind Staff. Gu Xi was very clear about the Cold Wind Staff; it had the potential to develop on its own and eventually break through to the Purple Quality.

Therefore, Gu Xi does not intend to forcibly enhance his abilities using the Evil Core.

Gu Xi hesitated about the Mind Nether Lamp. Both spells of the Mind Nether Lamp were mental, and Gu Xi felt they were useless to him.

It's not even as useful as the Reverse Lich Pauldron. If Gu Xi hadn't been unable to find a suitable new secondary item, he probably would have replaced the Mind Nether Lamp.

Therefore, strengthening the Mind Nether Lamp is not a good choice for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi slowly lowered his raised left hand, intending to see what other equipment he could upgrade.

When he lowered his hand, he suddenly saw his Champion Ring.

This is the top reward from the Minggu Bone Wind Academy.

Although this is a blue ring, its attributes are actually quite ordinary, with only one attribute bonus and one special effect.

If this weren't proof of identity, people might believe it was green clothing.

Apart from the Fox Eye Ring, Gu Xi had not found any other rings, and over time he had forgotten about it.

In retrospect, this ring is actually a good material that Gu Xi can use to enhance it.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi reached out and took the Champion Ring off his left index finger.

Without saying a word, he immediately placed the Evil Core onto the Champion Ring.

The next instant, Gu Xi saw the Evil Core, which resembled a raw stone, rapidly melt into a waxy red liquid, and quickly wrap around the Champion Ring as if it were alive.

Then the Champion Ring seemed to lose all its luster, quickly becoming dull and even turning black, looking as if it had just been dug out of the ground.

This situation left Gu Xi speechless; how could this thing still be taken out?

But in the next instant, something even stranger happened: a large number of red hairs grew out from where Gu Xi had placed the Champion Ring and wrapped around it.

Beneath these red hairs, the Champion Ring was tangled up in the fur, and in the blink of an eye, it grew as big as a bracelet.

This situation left Gu Xi at a loss for what to do.

He can't exactly use this as a bracelet, can he?

Fortunately, the situation was only temporary. In the blink of an eye, the red-haired man burst into flames, leaving behind only a twisted and bizarre ring made of red thread, Vermilion Wax, and metal.
