Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 574 Treasures ( 1 )

"You've confirmed this from Teresa?" Vincent asked again.

"That's right… Unfortunately, she mentioned that the Number 1 Celestial has been missing since the First Rapture. No one knows whether she's still alive or just in hibernation somewhere."

"I see… Thank you for informing me… Right, is it alright for me to purchase it instead?"

Vivian didn't immediately answer as she felt that this Celestial Chamber is still valuable to her. Although she can't use it right now, it is still an item with great research value…

After a few moments, she probed Vincent.

"What are you willing to pay in exchange for this Celestial Chamber?"

'If the price is right, then it might be fine selling it.' Vivian thought.

On the other hand, Vincent was amused by its name.

'Celestial Chamber? What a fitting name…' He thought.

Since he's already planning to sell his potions for Mid-Tier Spirit Stones. He only has a few options left.

"I'm thinking of paying you using Legendary-Grade Items… If possible, I can even help you to further enhance or strengthen your Automatons."

After hearing the last part, Vivian looked at Vincent in surprise. Legendary Items may also be important to her but improving their Automatons would certainly bring more benefit.

After all, the designs of Automatons have has been around for centuries and they have barely made any improvements. Each high-level automatons are extremely complicated to make and changing some materials from what was in the blueprint may cause malfunctions or greatly weaken it.

It's not as complicated with lower tier Automatons but those in Platinum and Diamond Tier were basically unimproved for the past centuries. The most improvement they could do was only change their weapons and add something to their external appearance.

Tinkering their internals is almost prohibited.

"Are you also a Magic Technician?" Vivian asked with great interest. Their engineers need several decades of experience to craft automatons. Looking at Vincent's appearance, she can tell that he's probably only in his early twenties.

"No… I'm not a Magic Technician… I'm a beginner Magic Craftsman but still, I have this talent for enhancements…"

Vincent learned that the Star Garden Peak's craftsmen distinguished themselves differently from normal Magic Craftsmen. They call themselves Magic Technicians since what they're making is completely different from normal magic tools. The principles and engineering involved greatly separate them from the traditional magic items.

"Talent for enhancements? Hmm… I guess it's better to see it then… I'll lend one of my Automatons to you. How many days do you need to complete your improvement?" Vivian asked.

"I can complete it overnight…" Vincent replied confidently.

"Really? Then let me see it first… How many Diamond Tier Automatons can you enhance in exchange for the Celestial Chamber? I won't be requesting any Legendary Items as long as you enhance our Platinum Tier and Diamond Tier Automatons…"

"Hmm… How many Automatons are you thinking?" Vincent asked instead.

"How about this, we have 10 Diamond Tier Automatons in our Eternal Sun Peak and 20 Platinum Tier Automatons... Can you help me enhance all of them?"

Vivian replied after thinking for a moment.

On the other hand, Vincent shook his head.

"Isn't that a bit too many? Although I can do it, it will take a lot of time. It's not even possible to remove the Soul Link as you said. I can only use it for research purposes."

Although he can certainly help her enhance that number of Automatons, he wouldn't work that hard if the price is not right.

"Well… Don't you think that it's worth the price? I heard from Nerissa that you can use the items of Celestial Beings… There was no way it was possible unless you have a way of removing the Soul Link. I know that you won't just use it for Research." Vivian said with a smirk on her pretty face.

"Ah…"

Vincent finally recalled that Nerissa indeed saw him use his Astral Night Dagger and Celestial Armor. That basically confirms that Vincent has tricks up his sleeves regarding the Soul Link.

He miscalculated that and could only sigh…

"Ehem… It was still a bit too much since I'll be enhancing 30 Automatons… Once I'm done with one of them, you can appraise it and you'll realize who they'd greatly improved."

"Fine… Let's talk about the number of Automatons tomorrow after you work with one. For now, I'll let you check the relics here... I won't be introducing them to you since you have appraisal ability, right?"

Vivian said. In any case, she barely has any information about these relics since most Appraisal abilities and tools won't work on them.

"Very well, let's go with that…" Vincent said as he stepped forward to start inspecting the relics.

He first went to the one that caught his attention. It is the device at the center that he couldn't figure out.

It seems to be a modern item with intricate machinery that can be seen through the damaged part of the device. Perhaps, if not for the Formation Art that is maintaining its appearance, this item would've rusted long ago.

Vincent touched the item and triggered his Appraisal Skill.

[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]

"Yes…"

Ding!

[ You have discovered a Damaged and Incomplete Subspace Rebounder Node. ]

[ Damaged and Incomplete Subspace Rebounder Node ]

[ Quality: Unique

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 80/2,000

Description: The item is 73% Damaged and has 10% Missing Parts. A device that creates Subspace Rebounder. It requires six nodes to function. Once the nodes are gathered together, it can create an energy field that rebounds any form of energy into a slightly different angle. Hidden effects will be revealed once the item is completely fixed.

Remarks: It is a special item. Ascension and Transcendence Skills may have different effects on the item. Successful enhancements will increase the item's durability and effects. ]

"Whoa…"

Vincent was impressed after reading the appraisal result… He first noticed that the item is only unique but it originally has 2,000 durability points comparable to most defense-type Legendary Items.

It was a pity that it has missing parts so it can't be fixed by simply fixing its durability…

Nevertheless, as soon as he saw the remarks, he felt that there is still some hope in this item.
