Chapter 2030 Two Powers Clash? A Three-Way Standoff!



Chapter 2030 Two Powers Clash? A Three-Way Standoff!

Chapter 2030 Two Powers Clash? A Three-Way Standoff!

First is the special skill, Armor-Piercing Technique.

For a magic-based class like Thousand Flames, the Armor Penetration spell isn't actually that useful.

But then again.

Forget about armor-piercing techniques, even if you gave him a Luohan Crystal Clarity, he wouldn't be able to do it.

He doesn't actually have a chance to use it most of the time. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to throw a couple more sand attacks?

Therefore, neither Armor-Piercing Technique nor Arhat Crystal Clarity can be considered as icing on the cake for Qianyan.

It's even more effective than Arhat's Crystal Clear in armor-piercing one-on-one combat.

But aside from the somewhat lackluster armor-piercing technique.

The three special effects below are incredibly useful!

There's no need to say much about Divine Blessing; everyone who's used it raves about it. Once triggered, it's practically a second life.

While a guaranteed hit has little effect on a magic-based character like Thousand Flames.

However, considering how explosive the damage of this Shattered Silence weapon is, in special circumstances such as being sealed, he can still unleash a normal attack and deal tons of damage.

Looking at it this way, this "guaranteed win" feature is actually quite useful.

As for refinement.

Although the demand for weapon refinement is not as great for magic-based characters as it is for physical-based characters.

But this is a Type 160 weapon after all, and it will be top-tier hardware for the next decade or so.

It's usable without being fancy, but only when it's fancy can it truly be called the ultimate graduation nuclear weapon!

all in all.

None of these three blue characters are useless to Qianyan.

On the contrary, if used properly, these three blue characters can give him wings!

But ultimately, none of these are the most crucial factors.

Whether it's the Shattering Special Effect or the Divine Blessing Guaranteed Hit, both are exquisite three-effect special effects.

Ultimately, the bonus these blue texts provide to Qianyan is limited.

What truly allows this Shattered Silence weapon to maintain its permanent leading position is actually the terrifying 1.19% chance of a spell crit at the very bottom!

Anyone who has played with level 160 equipment should know this.

The reason why level 160 equipment remains essential for top players even without the availability of level-less equipment is that level 160 equipment is still a must-have for them.

Higher attributes are only one aspect.

Its unique and randomly generated special affix bonuses are the most important thing!

Among these special attributes, the bonuses to physical and magical critical strike chance are the rarest.

Among the level 160 weapons that Fang Yun had previously appraised, there were quite a few with special attributes.

But he's been grinding since the new version was released.

The critical strike chance and magic critical strike chance attributes not only have the lowest critical strike chance, but those that exceed 1% are extremely rare!

In fact, even in the previous life, many top-level players in the server wars said they wore a full set of physical or magical critical strike equipment.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that most of these critical strike stat bonuses are less than 1%, with very few exceeding this level.

This is mainly because the drop rate of critical strike attributes is too low, especially the probability of them appearing on top-tier equipment.

That's really no different from playing the lottery.

The equipment has high stats but no critical hit modifiers, while the equipment with critical hit modifiers has poor stats.

It was so hard to finally get a piece of equipment that had both high stats and critical hit attributes.

As a result, the probability of these critical hit attributes is pitifully low.

In short, collecting a full set of high-explosive, top-tier equipment is as difficult as climbing to the heavens!

So you can imagine it.

This Shattered Silence weapon not only boasts unparalleled attributes, but its affixes are also the rarest spell critical strike, with a probability as high as 1.19%, making it practically like a custom-made private server!

This is why Pineapple was so shocked that she still hasn't recovered.

Extremely high initial damage, explosive stat boosts to both physical and magical attack, and blue-text effects that are incredibly useful.

Now, add to that an almost unbeatable 1.19% critical hit chance.

without any exaggeration.

This Shattered Silence is not only unprecedented, but it is also very likely that it will never be surpassed!

A unique and unparalleled masterpiece.

This is the final assessment that Pineapple gave after experiencing a tumultuous period of time.

"Hey...hey, Brother Cheng, didn't you just say you wanted to add a mage and a support to our Lantingxu team? So, what level of development are you planning for the mage?"

He swallowed hard.

Having finally calmed down, Pineapple struggled to look away from the divine artifact, Shattered Silence, and hesitantly asked Fang Yun.

"Speak your mind directly, don't beat around the bush, you're not that good at it."

Hearing Pineapple's question, Fang Yun simply rolled his eyes at him and then continued to admire the peerless Shattered Silence.

At this moment, he was in an incredibly bright mood.

The first level 160 artifact has finally appeared in the thousand-character family.

The appearance of this magical artifact helped him clear away the gloom, making his future goals clear and firm once again.

In such a relaxed state, even though he knew the other party was up to something again.

But he didn't take it to heart and said to speak frankly.

"Uh... that..."

Realizing that Fang Yun had guessed his thoughts, Pineapple gave an awkward smile and, without hiding anything, said directly, "I just want to know, once our Lantingxu team's future Archmage is fully formed, how much of the Flame King's power will he reach..."

If I hadn't witnessed the birth of the peerless divine weapon, Thousand Flames, with my own eyes...

Pineapple wasn't actually planning to ask that question.

After all, he knew his boss's personality. If he spoke up, the future magic god of the Lantingxu team couldn't be weak. At the very least, they should be at 70-80% of the level of Fairy Thousand Flames.

Anyone who has watched their matches knows how terrifying 70-80% of Fairy Thousand Flames' level is.

But then Qianyan suddenly acquired a level 160 peerless divine weapon.

Despite knowing that his biggest rival in the Martial God Altar was the 2008 Billion Family rather than his own boss's Thousand City Family.

But he still subconsciously felt a sense of crisis, which is why he couldn't help but ask.

The Lanting Preface will definitely be displayed at the Martial God Altar and in Bianliang City in the future.

And by then...

Qianyan, equipped with godlike gear and a level 160 divine weapon, faces off against his own mage, who may not even have started playing yet.

If Fang Yun hadn't invested enough in the Lanting Preface system, it would be obvious even to a fool.

Their Lanting Preface will surely be crushed and rubbed into the ground by Qianyan!

It wasn't that he couldn't accept his own Lantingxu being brutally beaten by Bianliang City, after all, even if Fang Yun promised all the magic gods and support characters to be in place.

The overall depth of the Lantingxu team will still be exposed by the unfathomable city of Bianliang.

What he was really worried about was...

The overall strength of the Fairy in 2008 was basically the same as that of Thousand Flames.

Especially considering Fang Yun's personality, Qian Yan has already acquired a peerless divine weapon of level 160.

Then the fairies, who are the twin stars of the Demon King, are probably not far off either.

And once the fairies also use the 160 divine weapon.

Then his Lanting Preface is truly in danger!

Therefore, he had to find out about his future God of Law from Fang Yun.

Since the start was already late, if Fang Yun doesn't put in enough effort, the strength of this enhancement patch will likely be greatly reduced...

"I really can't guarantee how good it is. After all, the strength of magic-based characters mainly depends on the necklace, and like weapons, whether you get a top-tier necklace is purely based on luck."

Seeing that Pineapple had laid his cards on the table, Fang Yun didn't try to fool him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But there's one thing I can guarantee: once the plan begins, I will do my best to make it a benchmark!"

"This benchmark might be slightly weaker than the Thousand Flame Fairy due to less smooth gear farming, but it's also possible that she'll have incredible luck and get a god-tier necklace and weapon, directly surpassing the veteran Gemini and becoming the new generation of mage god!"

In short, do your best and leave the rest to fate!

"Ness!"

As Fang Yun's resounding words fell to the ground.

Pineapple could no longer contain his excitement. He clenched his fist and blurted out "Nice!"

He never doubted what his boss said, because the other party had never let him down.

Since Fang Yun said he would do his best to develop this magic system,

Then he would definitely put in no less effort than when he created the Thousand Flame Fairy.

As long as he puts in the effort enough, Pineapple will have no regrets no matter the final outcome.

Their own boss poured the same effort into helping the Lantingxu team create a completely new magic-based system.

Even with this approach, they still cannot catch up with the veteran duo.

The pineapple could only say that it was its fate.

"Alright, you've had enough of the show, you can get lost now!"

Seeing that this guy was as happy as a fool after getting his guarantee.

Fang Yun waved his hand at him irritably, telling him to get lost with a look of disgust.

"Alright! I'm off, Brother Cheng, you're busy!"

At this moment, Pineapple was already basking in the new future landscape and formidable competitiveness of his team, and upon hearing this, he left without saying another word.

He's received far too much information today; he needs to go downstairs and process it properly.

And after Pineapple left.

Fang Yun turned his gaze back to the screen, looking thoughtfully at Qianyan, who was now wielding the brand-new Shattered Silence.

In fact, even if Pineapple hadn't asked, he had already figured out how to build Lantingxu into a future magic-based and support character.

Just like he told Pineapple.

If he doesn't start, fine; but once he does, he will give it his all and do everything he can to make these two new accounts the new benchmark players in the Martial God Altar!

Although the Qiancheng family was the first family he created, he also devoted the most effort to it.

But this doesn't mean he has to guarantee that the Qiancheng family will always be one step ahead of everyone else.

If he really had this idea, the billion-dollar family would never have existed.

The Martial God Tournament is destined to be a competition that needs to constantly provide visual feasts to maintain its popularity.

In the beginning, he thought that all he needed to do was maintain the Qiancheng family and compete with other well-known teams on the Martial God Altar to entertain the audience.

But as it turns out, these so-called well-known teams are really too weak to handle.

Within a year of the Qiancheng family's debut, the entire Martial God Altar had almost completely transformed into their shape.

This is obviously not possible.

He couldn't make the Qiancheng family completely give up participating in the Martial God Tournament, but he also couldn't spend money to cultivate an opponent.

That being the case.

The optimal solution is to switch servers and rebuild a team from scratch that can rival Bianliang City.

His performance in 2008 did not disappoint him.

He debuted at his peak, especially his performance at the All-Star Game, which was absolutely stunning!

In just over a year.

The 2008 team transformed from an unknown underdog into a top-tier team capable of challenging the monsters of Bianliang City!

Logically speaking, Fang Yun should have breathed a sigh of relief after 2008 being so successful.

But the result is.

In 2008, due to their overwhelming strength, A-Bai, as the team leader and commander, had to use training tactics to control the score during the regular season to prevent a situation like the early Bianliang City team from dominating the game.

As a result, the Qiancheng family of Bianliang City has a decreasing appearance rate in the regular Martial God Tournament.

In 2008, the billionaire family was forced to control its score for the same reason.

As a result, the absence of Baihuacun, the team that should have carried the heat of the regular season, caused the overall attention of the event to plummet!

This cannot continue.

Therefore, Fang Yun had to make further plans and put forward the Lanting Preface as an alternative.

The evolution of the Lanting Preface itself in the Martial God Altar was actually quite bumpy.

This is mainly because the timing of their appearance was somewhat awkward.

In terms of strength, they are no match for Bianliang City, which has a thousand families, or 2008, which has a billion-dollar family.

In terms of popularity, they were completely outmatched by Baihuacun, the king of the regular season.

They are like squares that can't fit into a circle; they are clearly quite capable, but in terms of popularity and reputation, they are always at the bottom among these top teams.

It's really just bad luck.

That being the case.

Fang Yun decided to give them a makeover.

The core of the team remains Pineapple, the well-known sixth man, to ensure that the team's style remains unchanged.

But in terms of its core, he wants to completely transform the Lanting Preface into a force that can truly compete head-on with 2008 and even Bianliang City!

As for Baihua Village?

Let them weather this crisis of disbandment first.

all in all.

The Martial God Altar must not be chaotic, nor can it be completely dominated by a single team.

However, if you want this place to be both full of passionate competition and maintain a sense of novelty for a long time.

Therefore, a three-way balance of power is clearly a better choice than a two-way battle for supremacy.

It can only be said that Fang Yun has gone to great lengths to maintain the popularity and prestige of the Martial God Altar.

But then again, he is a major shareholder of NetEase.

And Fantasy Westward Journey is the most profitable project under NetEase, bar none.

Maintaining the popularity and traffic of the game is his obligation as a shareholder.

My mind is filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

Fang Yun's hand, holding the mouse, unconsciously slid back and forth across the table.

The appearance of the Shattering Artifact solved his only problem, which had also been a major concern for him for a long time.

After his worries were relieved, he suddenly felt somewhat lost.

What should I do next?

Should we immediately begin building the Lantingxu magic and support systems?

Forget it, this isn't urgent.

He already has a max-level account at Lantingxu, so he can just go there and farm equipment and combine pets when he has time. There's no rush.

Then let's use the Qiancheng Qianren account to press our advantage and see if we can help these two accounts farm another level 160 physical weapon.

That's something to consider, but the problem is, he doesn't have much luck left!

Others play Fantasy Westward Journey because they can't move an inch without money, but Fang Yun plays Fantasy Westward Journey because he can't move an inch without luck points.

In the later stages of the game, he would either not refresh for equipment for ten days or half a month, and his luck value would be so full that it was almost overflowing.

Or they'll just squander it all, using up all the luck points they've accumulated in just a few tens of minutes or half an hour.

He is currently in a weakened state after just having squandered his energy; it's not that he's unwilling, but rather that he's powerless.

Since patching up the Lanting Preface isn't urgent, but there aren't enough luck points to boost the Thousand Characters series.

How about... starting a live stream to kill time?
