In the steam, Su Xiao stood motionless, ignoring the exclamations of the nearby Contractors. He stared intently at the Equipment Enhancement Machine, with 3 seconds left in the enhancement time.
When the steam thinned a bit, a prompt appeared.
[Dragon Slash (Light Gold) +12 succeeded! Continue to enhance? If you wish to continue, you need to pay 1 Soul Crystal (Medium) + 31,000 Paradise coins.]
"Does enhancement above +12 require Soul Crystals now? These things are truly versatile; high-level enhancements require them too."
Su Xiao chose no. Reaching +12 was already a stroke of luck; aiming for higher without special items was a fool's dream.
The tray of the Equipment Enhancement Machine popped out, and Su Xiao put away the Phantom Demon Stone; this was good stuff.
