In a spacious hall, Ye Zhongming sat on the ground, grinning foolishly at the object in front of him. Next to him was a half-empty bottle of water.
This was already the third day he had spent here, dedicated to studying the Jingjue Floating Sphere, which had a volume of about six or seven hundred cubic meters.
Thanks to his craftsman profession, after nearly fifty hours of continuous work without sleep, Ye Zhongming finally figured out what this thing was.
If the Resistance Zone had obtained this item, it would have been a piece of cake for them. After all, serving the Resistance Zone was exactly the Jingjue Floating Sphere's purpose, and this time it ended up in Ye Zhongming's hands purely by 'accident.'
Although Wen Zhong had shared some information about the Jingjue Floating Sphere and how to use it, Ye Zhongming remained vigilant in his heart.
This was a combination of human technology and roulette technology, and it was also manufactured by the Resistance Zone itself, which made Ye Zhongming instinctively cautious.
He was afraid of being schemed against with this equipment.
Monitoring and surveillance were minor issues, but if this thing malfunctioned during battle or even turned against him, it could lead to disastrous consequences. Ye Zhongming would not allow such a thing to happen.
If Le Da Yuan were here, things would be easier, but with the father of magic crystal weapons absent, Ye Zhongming could only rely on himself.
Ultimately, this was a piece of high-tech equipment, and as someone who hadn't graduated from college yet, Ye Zhongming certainly couldn't grasp it fully. So, he decided to take the simplest yet most labor-intensive approach.
Homogeneous Reinforcement!
He transformed this item entirely into his own work, which eliminated his fear of any hidden tricks being left inside.
However, this was a piece of equipment larger than a room. It was obviously impossible for Ye Zhongming to reinforce the entire thing homogeneously. When he tried, he found the mental energy requirements were too high—so high that he couldn't bear them.
Clearly, the size and complexity of this item exceeded the capacity for homogeneous reinforcement.
Having lived in the lower and middle levels of the apocalypse for ten years, Ye Zhongming was not short of patience and perseverance. He explored bit by bit and, through his connection with Wen Zhong, spent a hefty sum to bring in a designer of the Jingjue Floating Sphere to help him. Ye Zhongming disassembled this product, one of the three major products of the Resistance Zone! Then he reinforced it piece by piece!
In the end, under the astonished gaze of the designer, the reassembled Jingjue Floating Sphere radiated a golden glow!
Strictly speaking, this was a human-made product. Without blueprints, it wouldn't be classified within the roulette equipment grading system, yet it had turned into a golden piece of equipment!
This was the reason Ye Zhongming was grinning foolishly.
Ye Zhongming's golden equipment was always high-end items like the Bloodstained Battle Boots or the Gate of Sacrifice. To have another piece of golden equipment made him naturally happy.
Moreover, the Jingjue Floating Sphere was different from other equipment of the same rank.
Flying was the most remarkable feature of the Jingjue Floating Sphere, followed by its ability to float.
On this basis came the capabilities of the Jingjue Floating Sphere.
"Defense 2000!"
This figure shocked Ye Zhongming.
Two thousand—he had never seen such a value before! This was a data point capable of overwhelming many things.
The attack power of the Silken Puppet was already terrifying, but it hadn't even reached a thousand. If evaluated purely by data, Ye Zhongming didn't have any weapons capable of breaking through this defense.
Next were the other abilities of the Jingjue Floating Sphere, which had been digitized after becoming golden equipment.
"Ability 1, Neutral Laser. Eight-hole laser emitters on the sphere; four aimed at the sky, four aimed at the ground."
