All People: God-level Enchanter, the country takes me to level up

Chapter 20: Crazy! Is he not satisfied with these attributes?

The moment Zhao Xing opened the laboratory door and handed the first enchanted equipment to Director Fang, the experts in the conference hall couldn’t contain their excitement. As the first piece of permanent equipment, the Jagged Blade was placed on the booth for viewing, everyone eagerly awaited Zhang Haiqiang’s announcement of its attributes.

A wave of exclamations swept through the room.

“Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I never imagined that gold sand, power dust, and wind essence could add so many attributes! He broke the existing theoretical system of enchantment! A level 30 purple equipment is almost comparable to a level 50 purple equipment. What level is this? Quickly pass it on. Let me take a look! Don’t grab it. What’s the hurry? Hiss!”

The meeting room buzzed with lively discussions. Manners were momentarily forgotten as experts and powerhouses rushed to inspect the enchantment results. Even Wang Long, the army leader, couldn’t resist the curiosity and approached.

Upon seeing the attributes, Wang Long expressed surprise. As someone well-versed in equipment and logistics, his theoretical knowledge suggested that, for equipment of the same level, only different qualities would result in significant attribute differences. However, the enchanted Jagged Blade shattered his preconceptions.

“A level 30 purple equipment comparable to a level 50 attribute, and its requirements reduced to level 30. If this can be mass-produced, equipping the entire 30th-level main battle corps would significantly boost our combat power!”

Realizing the potential impact of enchanted equipment, Wang Long grasped Zhang Haiqiang’s hand, expressing urgency to equip the army. However, Zhang Haiqiang shook his head, explaining that it was impossible due to the national strategic considerations.

Wang Long, disappointed at the prospect of missing out on enhancing his combat power, insisted, “Zhao Xing is a genius from our Nanhu Province. Isn’t that enough?”

Zhang Haiqiang, however, reminded him that the decision wasn’t within his control. Wang Long, understanding the complexities involved, fell silent. The desire for improved equipment and enhanced combat capabilities had been a timeless sentiment among military leaders. In the past, it was horses and guns. Now, it was these enchanting wonders.

“Don’t be disappointed. Ordinary soldiers won’t be able to equip them, but the Dragon Army, being a special force with particularly high proficiency, still stands a chance,” Zhang Haiqiang assured. “Cooperate well in the next test, and we’ll report together. The higher authorities won’t forget us. The Dragon Army might still have a chance in the future, perhaps not in the first batch, but the second batch is still possible.”

Wang Long, reinvigorated with hope, eagerly agreed, “Yes, yes, it makes sense! I’ll cooperate, I will definitely cooperate well. I’ll do whatever you say!”

Despite his enthusiasm, Wang Long knew that achieving this in a short time was unlikely. Zhao Xing’s exceptional talent had to be handed over to the country, and Nanhu Province couldn’t retain him. The decision between the Extraordinary Academy and a specific department rested on Zhao Xing’s opinion. Considering his youth, it seemed more reasonable for him to attend the academy.

As the discussion continued, Zhang Haiqiang knocked on the table to regain order, urging everyone to calm down and remember that the permanent equipment wouldn’t disappear. He then brought attention to a peculiar observation – Zhao Xing’s strange expression and a brief exchange with Director Fang upon leaving the laboratory.

“Is there something wrong with Zhao Xing?” Someone inquired.

Fang Hong, the director, assured everyone, “No, my detection level is high, and he is wearing a Hat of the Scholar. All of his attributes are healthy, and there is no negative state.”

He explained the meticulous preparations made for Zhao Xing’s safety, including the use of one-way mirrors for observation without compromising the enchanting process.

Zhang Haiqiang expressed gratitude for the well-executed preparations, praising Fang Hong and Principal Yang Tianming.

When asked about Zhao Xing’s words after leaving the laboratory, Fang Hong explained, “He said that the first piece of permanent equipment has come out, but he is not very satisfied. So, he let me hand it over to the leaders first. He didn’t say anything else.”

Wang Long, surprised at Zhao Xing’s dissatisfaction with the remarkable attributes, questioned, “With these attributes, he is still not satisfied? What kind of monster did you discover, Old Zhang?”

Zhang Haiqiang clarified, “You don’t know something. The equipment Zhao Xing enchanted before had special effects, but there was a certain chance for them to appear. He is dissatisfied because there are no special effects. High attributes are only his second-best point; the special effect of enchantment is where he truly excels.”

Wang Long, still puzzled, inquired about the magical nature of the mentioned special effects. Zhang Haiqiang hinted that it would become clear later and advised patience.

Wang Long, willing to wait, humorously requested not to compete for the special effects equipment when it arrived. Zhang Haiqiang assured him, “Then you have to ask Mr. Lin and the others. I won’t rob you. Hahahaha.”
