With a swish, Jiu Ming drew out the watermelon cleaver, its edge now carrying a faint, flickering purple radiance, and swept his gaze over the burly men. "Mm, it just happened to succeed again. The added power has at least doubled. Who wants to give it a try?"
"..."
"Fine, nobody? Then let me make this clear first: once you reach the tenth stage of enhancement, there's a risk of the equipment shattering. And even below the tenth stage, failure may lower the enhancement level... Who's first?"
Wang Hai, being the first to bear the brunt, staggered out. Cough, cough—rather, he had been kicked out by the people behind him.

Mm, Fine-grade weapons were generally just right for mid-grade High-Energy Crystals. Low-grade ones could work too, but the consumption would be rather high. Once the enhancement level rose, that drawer would not be able to hold so many ordinary High-Energy Crystals.
