Later, when the weapon's durability is consumed to a certain extent, the weapon can be sharpened.
Sharpening is equivalent to enhancement.
It can directly enhance damage. A LV5 blade sharpening can directly add 3 attack points, and a LV5 hilt sharpening can add 30% damage bonus. Furthermore, if the hilt is wrapped with Fire Dragon scales and inlaid with amethyst, a special gem from the End, the total damage bonus can exceed 100%.
Under the same material, if Jack could deal about 30 DPS with a regular Netherite Sword against a scarecrow, he could deal over 200 DPS with a Tetra mod Netherite Sword (Fire Dragon Scale wrapped hilt).
After listening, Keqing nodded seriously.
"I've heard a bit about this principle. I once worked at Hanfeng Blacksmith for a few days, and he said something similar."
"Oh? What did he say?"
Jack didn't expect that a game mod, consisting of data and programs, would also have real-world principles?
"Blindly using rare materials to forge weapons is just a waste of resources. A truly excellent blacksmith needs to emphasize 'color' coordination even more than an artist, putting good steel where it's most effective. Only then can the weapons forged be called masterpieces."
"Interesting. I remember Old Zhang should be able to forge four-star weapons... I mean, he's a forging master of the Blackcliff series weapons, right?"
"Exactly."
"You Liyue people are truly talented; it makes me want to poach some of them."
Just as Jack was sighing, Ganyu interjected out of nowhere.
"Or perhaps you could also have the Geo Archon join this world, just like you subdued Lord Venti? That way, Liyue's talents could also be brought here, couldn't they?"
"But didn't you and Jean also fight to bathe little Klee every time?"
After comforting the tsundere Keqing, Jack and the others returned to Linjian Cabin first.
...
"That's the situation. So, Klee, do you want to go on a grand adventure with Daddy?"
"Grand adventure!"
Klee exclaimed in surprise, but then she saw the pencil still in her hand and remembered she still had homework to finish.
"But... but Klee still has homework to write..."
Jack rubbed Klee's head.
"It's fine, I'll handle Jean. My Klee is so smart, not doing homework for a day or two won't matter."
"Really? Can I really not do homework?"
"Really! But only for today and tomorrow!"
"Yay! (〃'▽'〃)"
Klee dropped her pencil and jumped directly into Jack's arms, her red beret falling to the ground.
Keqing helplessly picked up the hat, patted off some dust, and then put it on Klee.
For a moment, there was a sense of a family of three.
Ganyu moved gracefully, coming to where Klee had been sitting.
The math homework book was filled with various doodles of Dodoco and dragons, and not a single elementary-level math problem had been solved; they were all blank.
"..."
Someone was going to get a spanking, and a certain adult would get one too.
Rarely, an evil thought popped into Ganyu's mind.
Jack and Klee being lectured by Jean, that scene would surely be very interesting.
"Senior sister... what are you laughing at?"
"Eh? Did I, did I laugh?"
Ganyu looked down guiltily.
Shen He tilted her head, standing quietly to the side.
...
After welcoming back Klee, the Spark Knight,
Jack and the others returned to the central hall of the Iron Maiden.
This was a circular plaza paved with stone bricks.
At the four corners of the plaza were four dispensers, with Redstone circuits laid out in the middle. As soon as a player stepped onto it, they would be attacked by hidden weapons.
But none of this was a problem.
After all, before coming, he had already had everyone put on Diamond Armor.
"Dig out the block in the very center, and a passage directly to the bottom will appear. Below, there's a pool surrounded by a tic-tac-toe grid, with lava all around, so follow me closely and don't move around, understood?"
"Mm-hmm! Klee understands!"
Children had no resistance to such thrilling adventure scenarios.
Klee already had "I'm definitely going to run around" written all over her face.
Jack and Keqing exchanged a glance. The two parents flanked Klee, one on each side, forming an inescapable net.
Thus, Klee could only pout and obediently hold their hands, looking quite unhappy.
Thump! Thump!
Without Jack needing to remind her, Shen He had already taken her very handy Diamond Pickaxe and smashed the dispensers around, then came to the center of the plaza and, with a few precise swings, broke through the floor.
A bright red light immediately emanated from beneath the floor; it was the light and heat conducted from the lava.
"So hot!"
Shen He was blown back a few steps by the hot wind.
Her fate was that of the Solitary Star and Calamity, making her prone to anger and irritability.
Her master, Cloud Retainer, had even specifically bound her heart and mind with red ropes for this reason.
However, such a scorching environment stimulated her senses from the outside in, reducing the binding effect of the red ropes to its extreme.
"It seems I can only use that method,"
Shen He murmured to herself, then planned to deal with it in an equally physical way.
So she reached out and manually switched the weather to summer, changing into a cool outfit.
However, the red ropes binding her body made her figure even more prominent, appearing somewhat strange.
"Children are not allowed to look!"
Keqing blushed and covered Klee, who was watching with wide eyes, then glared at Jack: "You scoundrel! Look at what you've done!"
"?? How is He'er taking off her own clothes my business?"
Keqing pointed to the way the red ropes highlighted Shen He's perfect figure: "Don't think I don't know that only you use this kind of binding! You must have re-tied them for her last time when Ganyu and Shen He were on duty!"
For this, Keqing looked at Ganyu for confirmation.
Ganyu blushed and averted her gaze.
She implicitly confirmed the matter.
