Chapter 101: Heavy Armor
After arranging the work of the residents, Lin Rui asked Soro, "Have you found all those affected by the Lucky Coin: Sand Washing?"
Soro was already overwhelmed with tasks, as Lin Rui had assigned him too many things.
He ran over to Lin Rui, panting heavily, and said, "Found them, found them. The Lucky Coin had six positive effects, two of which affected the animals in the domain; one gryphon and one packhorse successfully became pregnant after breeding."
From breeding to conception, normal human sperm can survive for about two days, while gryphon seeds can last a bit longer, surviving three to five days.
However, whether the sperm can penetrate through the layers of barriers to successfully impregnate the female is still a matter of probability.
The red glow of the Lucky Coin that entered the animals clearly helped a certain sperm, resulting in the successful impregnation of both a gryphon and a packhorse.
The successful pregnancy of the gryphon made Lin Rui very excited, as it meant that the domain's aerial cavalry could continue expanding in the future.
Moreover, with the historically significant trait of increased chances of territorial essence, gryphon cubs could grow rapidly.
Of course, all of this is premised on Lin Rui's wallet being able to support the fair trade of the devil inside the Golden Balance.
To be honest, Lin Rui currently didn't have a particularly good way to counter the corrosion of Sadomasochism.
Fortunately, there is still a long way to go; no one can say what surprises and turning points might occur in the future.
In fact, Lin Rui still harbored an optimistic attitude towards this.
After all, this might be the best opportunity to fleece the Sadomasochism sheep!
So Lin Rui quickly composed himself and asked, "Besides the animals, what other good things have happened?"
"There's also the plants in the domain; one acre of grape fields and one acre of wheat fields have undergone magical changes, and it's estimated that the quality will significantly improve upon maturation."
Now the domain has already passed through two cycles, which means the grain will mature in another two cycles.
The early maturity of grain is undoubtedly a good thing, as it can be sold at high prices when most lords are short of grain.
Moreover, high-quality spiritual food is an incredibly precious specialty, valuable and worthwhile both for consumption and export.
Then Lin Rui asked, "And where did the two other occurrences happen?"
Soro called out to someone outside the Government Hall, and the confused domain alchemist, Aunt Shirley, entered rubbing her head, accompanied by the bewildered Master of Armaments, Burton Turner.
Lin Rui looked incredulously at this aunt with thick tortoiseshell glasses and asked, "Did you get hit on the head by a book again?"
Shirley, looking bewildered, said, "Lord, can you stop using that red light to hit me on the head? If my head keeps getting hit like this, I'll become stupid."
Lin Rui laughed and said, "Newton got hit on the head, and he founded classical mechanics. You get hit on the head often; perhaps you could create classical pharmacology. What did you gain from this latest hit?"
"I feel like I recalled a lot of pharmacy experience clearly. My Pharmacy Skill upgraded to level 8."
"Very good, Pharmacy Skill level 10 is not far away for you. Study the formula of the Bloodline Enhancement Potion, see what materials are needed, and have the domain prepare early."
The confused alchemist aunt left, and Lin Rui was still somewhat amazed. What kind of Luck King constitution does this aunt have to be chosen by the Lucky Coin: Sand Washing twice in a row? This probability is truly that of a chosen one.
After Shirley left, the only one remaining in the Government Hall was the wild Master of Armaments, Burton.
He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Lord, just now a red glow entered my body. Was it some precious treasure? Do I need to compensate the domain? I can work overtime to repay it."
Lin Rui waved his hand with a smile and said, "Just stay comfortably in the Golden Pansy Domain. No matter how many armaments you modify, the domain does not require compensation from you. As for the red glow, it's the Light of Fortune in the domain. Those chosen will encounter a good event. Check to see what changes you've undergone."
"Oh, I see." Burton looked at his traits and said, "I gained a Rare Level Trait: Heavy Armor."
[Heavy Armor·Rare Level Trait: Bigger, heavier, and stronger is the creed of Imperial Armament. When performing armament modifications, heavy armor attributes are always added to the armor, Resilience +6%, Charge Bonus 12%, Physical Defense +50%, Basic Damage Reduction 120 points (Note: This damage reduction only applies individually to each piece of equipment and cannot stack).]
The rear supply aspect of the Rare Level Trait is shockingly powerful.
With 120 points of damage reduction, one can almost imagine the domain knight moving forward in heavy armor, with arrows and bullets from ordinary soldiers hitting the armor without causing effective damage, and the soldiers possibly not even pausing as they charge at the enemy positions amidst a hail of bullets.
Lin Rui smiled and said to him, "The domain will build you the most advanced armory available; you can freely complete armament modifications inside."
Upon hearing this, the Master of Armaments laughed excitedly and boldly, saying, "Lord, thank you for your generosity. I will stay in the armory day and night, modifying all the armaments within the domain. Of course, to bring the maximum benefit to the domain, I will start with the vast number of Ordinary Level and Excellence Level armaments, gaining experience and upgrading skill levels. During this process, if an armament modification succeeds, its quality may improve. Even if the quality doesn't improve, it will have characteristics like Spiritual Energy Shield, Armor Coating Layer, and Heavy Weapons added, significantly increasing the price."
