In the morning of the next day,
Bai Yunfei was sitting with legs crossed on the bed looking at an orange bracelet in his hand with a slight frown.
“Upgrade failed.
“Item destroyed.”
The information in his mind disappointed him for a while again. He reached his hand out to one side and tilted his palm. An amount of dust fell down and piled up on a piece of white cloth beside him. That basin-sized piece of white cloth had already been sprinkled with various powders of different colors. These powders were what was left of the pieces of jewelry that had been destroyed by failed upgrades in just the last two hours.
Because today Bai Yunfei had to wait for Qiu Luliu to come looking for him, he did not go anywhere. According to his original plan, he should leave today, but now he had no choice but to stay for another day. Because he did not know when Qiu Luliu would arrive, he had decided to make use of this period of time to continue his research into jewelry upgrades.
“It was the fifth one. I still haven’t even got a +9 item. Somehow I feel that upgrading jewelry must be harder than upgrading weapons and defensive items?” Bai Yunfei shook his head in frustration. After being depressed inwardly for a while, he took out a milky white pearl necklace.
“Upgrade.”
“Upgrade successful.
“Item grade: High.
“Upgrade level: +9.
“Additional attribute: Agility +23.
“Upgrade requirement: 17 soul points.”
Bai Yunfei had a happy expression: “I’ve finally succeeded!”
Putting this +9 necklace down to one side, he took out another bracelet and continued to upgrade it. Unfortunately, he failed again and it was destroyed.
Either because it really was more difficult to upgrade jewelry or because Bai Yunfei was unlucky, out of the twelve pieces of jewelry he upgraded afterwards, he was only able to obtain two +9 items, a bracelet and a ring.
“Alas…” Bai Yunfei let out a sigh of frustration again and looked outside the window. It was already morning, “Qiu Luliu said that she’d arrive before afternoon. She should be here soon. Will I just call it a day like this? But… I don’t want to give up! Let’s just upgrade these three items to see what will happen! If I successfully upgrade one of them, I’ll know the additional effect of a +10 piece of jewelry!”
As soon as Bai Yunfei thought about this, he no longer cared about the fact that it had taken him several hours of hard work to obtain these items. As he picked up that necklace, his eyes showed an expression of expectation.
“Upgrade!”
“Upgrade failed.
“Item destroyed.”
“Alas! I was indeed too naive to think so!” With a whimper in his mind, Bai Yunfei scattered the powder in his hand sadly and picked up that +9 ring.
“Now that I already started, I can’t give up halfway through no matter what!
“Upgrade!”
“Upgrade successful.”
