Chapter 692: Three-Headed Six-Armed! Equipment Slot Expansion!


But thankfully, Zhang Yanhang still had nearly four thousand Medium Magic Recovery Potions to use, so it wasn't a big problem.

Moreover, as Energy Value was consumed, two additional heads and four additional arms indeed grew out of Zhang Yanhang's shoulders.

The two extra heads appeared on the left and right of Zhang Yanhang's original head, sandwiching it in the middle, with two arms positioned above the shoulders and two below, similarly sandwiching his original arms in the middle.

The sensation of suddenly having extra limbs growing out was quite marvelous, especially when Zhang Yanhang discovered that after growing two heads on his left and right, his field of view seemed to have expanded from the original 180 degrees to a full 360 degrees without blind spots.

However, this view was formed by overlaying three separate images, which really felt odd, yet he thought that with some getting used to, it should be fine.

As for why he could see 360 degrees, that was a matter of the angle at which the heads were tilted, in the pattern you'd find in mythological stories where one head faces left and the other right.

Based on this pattern, Zhang Yanhang had ample reason to anticipate his next head would grow out his back, or rather, face backward, forming the ultimate complete form with a head on each side, front, and back.

"Speaking of which, with six arms, does that mean my Strength has also increased? Originally, my two arms combined could exert a maximum force of ten thousand tons. Now, adding my weight and the extra four arms, perhaps a figure around twenty or thirty thousand tons wouldn't be too much of an issue?

However, although it's easy to overlap two hands to launch an attack, six hands are not so easy to stack—and surely you can't hold a weapon with all six hands at once, that'd be too silly.

So, these four extra arms probably shouldn't really be counted in."

But compared to these things, Zhang Yanhang soon thought of an even more important issue—if his extra arms and heads were to be considered as real limbs, would it be possible to wear more Equipment?

Leaving everything else aside, with the extra twenty fingers, wouldn't it be possible to wear a few more rings?

The thought struck him, and Zhang Yanhang immediately felt he might have really misunderstood the power of the Three-Headed Six-Armed form, to think that he had previously considered it weaker than the Indestructible Golden Body. Now it seemed, if he could truly succeed, then the strength of the Three-Headed Six-Armed might far surpass that of the Indestructible Golden Body.

"It just so happens that I was worried about how to raise my Charm attribute value back to fifty points after the Third Tier promotion. If this really works out, a single Crimson Iron Ring would be enough for one point of Charm attribute bonus—never mind fifty points, even seventy points could be directly filled.

However, the problem now is that I don't seem to have many Crimson Iron Rings left due to the Fusion..."

Although there weren't many left, there were still some, so Zhang Yanhang quickly took out a Blue Quality Crimson Iron Ring +4 from his Waist Bag and put it on the index finger of the first arm on his left hand.

Holding a modest anticipation, Zhang Yanhang opened his Attribute list to see if the Blue Quality Crimson Iron Ring had successfully provided him with a Charm attribute bonus.

[Strength: 70 (+3)]

[Agility: 71 (+3)]

[Constitution: 70 (+3)]

[Intelligence: 67 (+3)]

[Charm: 50 (+17)]

"My Charm attribute has now, with the one point of Charm attribute value provided by the Crimson Iron Ring, successfully increased from the original forty-nine points by fifty points...

Did it really work?

Then doesn't this mean that I can really wear more Equipment with these four extra arms and two heads?!"

Zhang Yanhang felt a massive Equipment bonus beckoning him, but, somewhat regrettably, because he had always been planning to obtain eight full Score Blue Quality Crimson Iron Rings +6 to fuse into a Purple Quality Crimson Iron Ring +7, he had used most of his Crimson Iron Rings for fusion.

After all, he had never imagined that he would one day need to equip thirty or even more fingers with Crimson Iron Rings.

Zhang Yanhang had previously equipped eight Crimson Iron Rings +6 and two Crimson Iron Rings +4, thus fulfilling the requirements for fusion into a Purple Quality Crimson Iron Ring +7. Yet, because he wanted to obtain more Crimson Iron Rings +4 to fill the gaps, he had refrained from fusing them.

It was a good thing he didn't fuse them right away, or else he would have regretted it even more. To be honest, he was already feeling quite regretful for using a large number of Crimson Iron Rings to fuse into Crimson Iron Rings +6; otherwise, he would be able to gather enough Blue Quality Crimson Iron Rings +4 to equip his newly grown twenty fingers.

Alas, compared to the twenty extra fingers, he had only four extra Crimson Iron Rings +4, and having used one just now, he only had three leftover Crimson Iron Rings +4 remaining.

Apart from these three Crimson Iron Rings +4, Zhang Yanhang didn't have any spare Crimson Iron Rings for a temporary fusion into +4, as after the last fusion, he had only one ordinary Crimson Iron Ring left.

So, it wasn't even about needing sixteen ordinary Crimson Iron Rings to fuse into a +4; he couldn't even fuse into a +1, which only needed two ordinary Crimson Iron Rings.

"Sigh, it's just a pity that the successfully fused Crimson Iron Rings +6 can't be split back into four Crimson Iron Rings +4 because of their changed nature. Otherwise, just with these eight Crimson Iron Rings +6 in my hand, I could split them into thirty-two Crimson Iron Rings +4 to meet the requirements of my fingers."

But there was nothing to be done about that—Zhang Yanhang could only plan to collect more Crimson Iron Rings during his next trip to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu or venture into the new underground area to acquire new ring-type Equipment.

However, because jewelry-type equipment had much lower drop rates than regular equipment, the chances of obtaining new rings were slim.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now. I'd better hurry up and equip these three spare Blue Quality Crimson Iron Rings +4."

As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang put the three Crimson Iron Rings +4 onto the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the first arm on his left hand.

After equipping the three Crimson Iron Rings +4, Zhang Yanhang immediately reopened his attribute list to see if the equipment bonuses were effective.

[Strength: 70 (+3)]

[Agility: 71 (+3)]

[Constitution: 70 (+3)]

[Intelligence: 67 (+3)]

[Charm: 53 (+20)]

"Without any surprises, the three Blue quality Crimson Iron Rings +4 also successfully took effect, and I've gained another three points in Charm attribute value bonus, increasing my Charm attribute from the original fifty points to fifty-three points."

Looking at the situation, Zhang Yanhang felt that he likely had many more related equipment items to wear on his four arms generated by the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill, along with two heads.

Because he was particularly concerned about his Charm attribute, Zhang Yanhang first thought of the Crimson Iron Heart Necklace, which came from the same region as the Crimson Iron Rings, also obtained from the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaran.

Moreover, compared to the twenty extra equipment slots provided by the Crimson Iron Rings +4, Zhang Yanhang had fewer Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces in hand but could still satisfy his equipment needs.

After all, although he gained twenty more fingers, he only had two additional necks, so he only needed two extra Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces to meet this part of the equipment requirements.

And Zhang Yanhang just happened to have one Crimson Iron Heart +5, one Crimson Iron Heart +3, and one Crimson Iron Heart +1 in hand, so he was certainly not worried about not having anything to wear around his necks.

"Speaking of which, I never paid attention to whether the Crimson Iron Heart +3 was Blue or Purple quality because I initially enhanced a Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart +4."

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but first check the attribute list of the Crimson Iron Heart +3.

If this item was a Blue quality equipment, it might be a bit troublesome because it meant he would be missing one point of Charm attribute bonus and would need to gather six Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces again to fuse a Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart +4.

[Crimson Iron Heart +3]

[Score: 85 (Purple Items score ranges from 71 to 150.)]

[Introduction: The Crimson Iron Equipment I sell is well-known for its high quality at affordable prices. As my reputation grows with word-of-mouth among buyers, one day, a Brave Apprentice who had just embarked on his journey sought me out, asking for the finest sword in the village. He said he momentarily had no money, but he promised to repay a hundredfold once he achieved great fame and success...]

"So the Crimson Iron Heart became Purple quality equipment just after fusing to +3? Or perhaps, judging from this score, it might have already reached Purple quality at +2..."

However, Zhang Yanhang was not interested in something like a Crimson Iron Heart +2; he was focused on wearing two more Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces.

After checking the attributes of the Crimson Iron Heart +3, Zhang Yanhang quickly wore the Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart +3 and the Crimson Iron Heart +5 necklaces around his left and right necks, respectively.

After putting on the necklaces, Zhang Yanhang immediately reopened his attribute list to check that the bonuses from the two Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces had taken effect, as there was still a possibility that only arms could wear equipment, but heads might not.

[Strength: 70 (+3)]

[Agility: 71 (+3)]

[Constitution: 70 (+3)]

[Intelligence: 67 (+3)]

[Charm: 57 (+24)]

"Each Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart Necklace provides a two-point bonus to Charm attribute value, and I just put on two more, so although only a few seconds have passed, my Charm attribute has increased by another four points from the original 53 to 57, which is pretty good."

Zhang Yanhang was very emotional about this situation. Although he thought he could quickly regain his Charm attribute after plummeting to forty-nine points from fifty when his White Ten-piece Set effect expired after his Third Tier promotion, he had not expected such a method of enhancement to exist.

After equipping the two Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces, Zhang Yanhang did not forget that he was currently wearing a set of Crimson Iron Shark Teeth in his mouth, an equipment piece that also came from the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaran and could increase his Charm attribute value.

However, he did not have any ready-to-use item because the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth were modified from Crimson Iron Teeth, so all he had were unmodified ordinary Crimson Iron Teeth.

The good news was that it was not a big issue since just a simple modification would quickly solve it.

Additionally, he did not need to worry about the quantity. Although Zhang Yanhang only got precisely sixteen sets of Crimson Iron Teeth from hunting the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants in the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaran, which he used to fuse into a Purple quality Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +4, he obtained two new sets of Crimson Iron Teeth Guards during the cleanup of the Lucky Slot Machine's third prize pool of Crimson Iron Breeding Ants.

Or to be more accurate, one set was obtained a while ago, and another set just recently on his last visit to clear the monsters in the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaran since the number of Crimson Iron Breeding Ants in the Lucky Slot Machine's third prize pool was not significant.

After taking out the two sets of ordinary Crimson Iron Teeth that had not yet been modified from his Waist Bag, Zhang Yanhang quickly initiated the Alchemy process, manipulating the Alchemy Array to modify the Crimson Iron Teeth.

This time, he did not have to bother with making a mold or anything similar since he had a Purple quality Crimson Iron Shark Teeth as a reference; he could just directly follow that model for the modifications.

Since it was just a straightforward shape modification without the need for fusion, Zhang Yanhang, who was always quite adept at Shaping, quickly completed the transformation.

However, before using it, Zhang Yanhang thought it would be better to check the attribute list of the newly modified Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, as he hadn't done this for a while and felt a bit rusty. To prevent any mishaps, it seemed wise to have a look.
