Just as this thought appeared in Bai Yunfei’s brain, he felt an emptiness in his mind. It seemed something in the depths of his soul had gone missing, but it was also indescribable. In just an instant, this kind of feeling disappeared.
“Upgrade successful.”
This piece of information flashed across his mind. He lowered his head and looked at the brick in his hand again.
“Item grade: Normal.”
“Upgrade level: +1.”
“Damage: 9”
“Additional damage: 1”
“Upgrade requirement: 2 soulforce.”
Bai Yunfei felt that the brick in his hand seemed to be a bit heavier than before and also seemed to be sturdier than before. It was impossible to tell if this was his illusion or not.
“Some more information. Damage… indicates power, right? When I upgraded it, the power increased? What the heck is this? Or am I dreaming?”
Bai Yunfei pressed an injured place on his waist and it hurt so much that he took in two breaths of cold air — he was not dreaming.
“This… Could this have something to do with my abnormal behavior in the evening?”
Bai Yunfei pondered hard for a good while again but still ended up without a thread so he simply stopped thinking. This did not seem to have any disadvantage and he himself did not feel unwell either.
“If I continue to upgrade it… what will happen?”
This kind of curiosity could not help emerging in Bai Yunfei’s mind.
“Upgrade.”
That feeling of his heart skipping half a beat appeared like a flash again. Yunfei hurriedly stared at the brick.
“Upgrade successful.”
“Item grade: Normal.”
“Item upgrade level: +2.”
“Damage: 9”
“Additional damage: 2”
“Upgrade requirement: 3 soulforce.”
Yunfei brandished the brick and always felt that it seemed to have become even sturdier.
“Let’s upgrade it a few more times and see…”
Not long after that…
“Upgrade successful.”
“Item grade: Normal.”
“Item upgrade level: +6.”
“Damage: 9”
“Additional damage: 6”
“Upgrade requirement: 7 soulforce.”
But when Bai Yunfei upgraded it again, the result this time was different.
“Upgrade failed.”
“Oh? Failed? What does this mean?”
He took a look at the brick and saw that the upgrade level had changed from 6 just then to 5.
“So it can fail as well… And a failure causes a drop of 1 level?”
Now Bai Yunfei’s mind was full of curiosity. He had been captivated by this ‘interesting’ thing like a child who had found a novel toy.
He no longer took a look after each upgrade. Instead, he simply stared at the brick in his hand while saying nonstop in his mind:
“Upgrade.”
“Upgrade.”
“Upgrade.”
Bai Yunfei was somewhat excited. But when he was engrossing himself in saying so, he suddenly felt light in the head, as if his soul had been exhausted abruptly. His mind gradually became fuzzy and he slowly fell down on the bed.
