Blood River

Blood River (血河), Broc's sword

## Attributes

Chen Rui glanced at the name engraved on the long blood-red sword and nodded, “Such a good sword! Although it hasn’t reached legendary grade yet, the attributes are already pretty good. It can increase attack speed by 35%, increase water magic damage by 38% and devour enemies’ vitality and convert them into stamina.”

Broc looked slightly surprised. Appraisal was one of the skills of a mechanic master, but it usually required testing with corresponding instruments to confirm. Yet, Arthur could accurately tell the attributes of Blood River with a glance, including the hidden trait of devouring enemies’ vitality. It seemed that he was well-deserved to be the top genius in the Demon Realm in 10,000 years.

Surely, Chen Rui wouldn’t say it was the effect of [Analytical Eyes]. He touched the blade and pretended to feel it for a while with his eyes closed.

 “Blood River” was Broc's favourite weapon, and the attributes were also quite suitable for him.

## Damage

“There is a saying among the mechanics. Crafting equipment is creating life. Equipment is also alive. Due to the relationship between materials and characteristics, general equipment has a certain degree of self-recovery ability. It’s just like we can heal ourselves from minor injuries. The problem is that your sword isn’t suffering from a minor injury. You can’t see it in this state, and it’s also difficult to be judged by other mechanic masters, but it can’t hide from my talented eyes. I can clearly feel that there are countless wounds on it. If this continues, the sword will shatter completely when it experiences strong pressure or it is infused with too much force.”

## 'Repairing' the sword

Chen Rui took out the necessary tools and the materials gifted by other people, and arranged them one by one. The rigorous and serious expression made people in awe. After turning on the magic furnace to reach the required temperature, Chen Rui simply put the “Blood River” into it to burn it until it turned red before taking it out with pliers. Then, he struck it with a hammer. The big hammering movements seemed to contain mysteries. It looked like an artistic dance. It made Manu nodded secretly, but the sparks when the hammer hit onto the Blood River made Broc secretly distressed.

As Chen Rui knocked, he sprinkled a kind of magic powder on it. The whole sword was making a strange sizzling sound. Subsequently, it was a series of smooth movements and processes. The complicated procedures that required the cooperation of a few people were actually completed perfectly alone.

Other than re-forging, the gems at the hilt were even dug out and polished. The details were meticulously processed. About three hours later, Chen Rui finally stopped all the work, wiped the sweat on his head and gave the sword that he worked on for so long to Broc, “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you. This sword not only is repaired from its initial damage, but its attributes are also increased. Now, it increases attack speed by 38%, increases water magic damage by 40% and it devours enemies’ vitality and converts them into stamina. Also, a [Bloodthirst] skill is added. It can increase your attack by 20% but decrease your defense by 10%. It can only be used once a day. This equipment should be very close to legendary grade.”

Chen Rui accepted the gratitude and praise from Broc. The highest level of scamming someone was that after hurting him, he would still thank you and count your money for you.

*Originally, this poor sword is nothing more than a “minor injury” that can heal itself. However, now, it has become a truly irreparable serious injury. As for the improvement of attributes… has he not heard of the final flash before dying?*

Broc left Crystal Valley with his “repaired” favourite sword. Although the loss of Magic Shield left a thorn in his heart, the repaired “Blood River” finally gave him a little compensation and psychological comfort. Surely, due to the need to be an undercover, someone’s sinister intentions wouldn’t be exposed yet. Therefore, “Blood River” still had some time to go from its final flash to its death.
