Boots of Hermes! A Skill With Heaven-Defying Effects!

Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed as he looked at the two pieces of White equipment that Jin Zhengmin had casually thrown on the table.

The two pieces of equipment only had one pitiful basic attribute. Even dogs shook their heads when they saw this.

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" seeing that Lin Xiu did not move for a long time, Instructor Jin immediately raised his head and said with an unhappy expression.

"Hehe, how could that be? These two pieces of equipment must have been 'meticulously' prepared by you, Instructor Jin. You've really put in a lot of effort."

Lin Xiu knew that Jin Zheng Min was a snob, it was impossible for him to be so kind to someone who inherited the Unspecialized Class, but the other party was openly and secretly suppressing him, how could Lin Xiu be indifferent?

Therefore, he immediately put on a fake smile. While thanking him, Lin Xiu deliberately emphasized the word 'meticulous.'

After saying that, Lin Xiu immediately rolled up the two pieces of equipment and walked off the stage without looking back.

Lin Xiu's sarcasm made Jin Zhengmin's eyes twitch slightly.

However, there were still many students below the stage, so he did not have the chance to flare up. The only thing he could do was to glare at the other party fiercely and then suppress the anger in his heart.

After returning to the stage, Lin Xiu immediately summoned the system interface. He wanted to use the two pieces of white equipment that he had just obtained to try out the Divine Forgemaster's unique skill, Stone to Gold Touch.

He opened the inventory in the System and saw the two pieces of equipment that he had obtained earlier lying quietly in it.

He focused his gaze and the attribute panel of the two pieces of equipment immediately appeared.

[Worn Leather Gloves]

[Rarity: White Slate]

[Basic attribute: Physical defense +1]

...

[Rusted Greaves]

[Rarity: White Slate]

[Basic Attribute: Movement speed increased by 10 points]

Looking at the terrible attributes of the two pieces of equipment, Lin Xiu could not help but laugh.

Instructor Jin Zhengmin was really 'thoughtful' to specially pick out two pieces of heavily worn equipment from the White Slate-grade.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Lin Xiu had already memorized all the unfair acts that Jin Zhengmin had done to him.

Then, he opened the equipment details tab and chose to immediately bind the two pieces of equipment.

[Respected Class, the Worn Leather Gloves and Rusted Greaves have been bound.]

[Attention, the equipment will hide its attributes and cannot be traded with others.]

The System's voice sounded in his mind, and a pop-up window appeared in front of him, explaining the effects and precautions after binding the equipment.

"This is the effect I wanted."

A smile appeared on Lin Xiu's face. He then opened the system function column, the page for forging.

Currently, there were three ways to increase the attributes of equipment.

The first was the forging function that could increase the grade of equipment.

To use the forging function, one needed to place the equipment into the forging column and put in some rare materials with similar attributes to the equipment. After the conditions were met, the system could start forging. Under normal circumstances, the success rate was above 80 percent.

However, the higher the grade of the equipment, the lower the success rate of forging. On the contrary, the materials required for forging were more precious.

Thus, the forging function was a very effective method to increase the quality of equipment in the early stages. However, as the quality of the equipment increased, the forging function became somewhat useless.

The second was the strengthening function. Strengthening equipment also required materials, but unlike forging, the materials required for strengthening were very fixed. It only required Strengthening Source Stones of the same quality as the equipment.

The success rate of strengthening was similar to forging. In the beginning, the success rate was above 85 percent. As the strengthening level increased, the success rate would drop below 10 percent.

However, because strengthening equipment could increase basic attributes and special effects, many Classes would take great risks to strengthen high-quality equipment.

The result was obvious. Except for a few lucky ones who succeeded, most of them only got colorless fragments on the ground.

As for the third function -- purification -- Lin Xiu's current level basically did not need it. Similarly, he was also unable to gather the prerequisites for purification.

He looked at the forging page that appeared in front of him.

Lin Xiu thought for a moment, then chose to put the Rusted Greaves into the forging column.

Although high-quality gloves were also very powerful, they were only accessories after all. They could not compare to the importance of main equipment.

In the forging page, because the corresponding materials had not been placed, the forging button of the system itself was still in a gray state.

However, because Lin Xiu had obtained the inheritance of a Divine Forgemaster, he had the skill: Stone to Gold Touch.

Therefore, next to the gray forging button, there was a unique golden interaction button.

"Phew... I'm a Divine Forgemaster. I should at least upgrade my greaves to Silver-quality..."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiu slowly moved his finger to the golden button on the System page and said subconsciously.

Then, he immediately pressed the 'Stone to Gold Touch' button. The next moment, the Rusted Greaves placed in the forging column suddenly emitted a mysterious purple light!

Accompanying the light was a crisp tinkling sound, as if there was an invisible blacksmith on the System page knocking on the greaves.

The mysterious light disappeared in an instant, and Lin Xiu immediately discovered something.

At the casting bar, the Rusted Greaves that were originally dull and ordinary had disappeared. In their place was a pair of brown sandals with a new style and a pair of wings on the outside.

The part of the boots that covered the soles of the feet was made of some kind of brownish-red leather, while the part that provided protection for the calves emitted a metallic luster.

However, the most eye-catching part of the sandals was the pair of brownish-red wings on the outside.

It looked like it could drive the person wearing the shoes to fly, and its style was extremely unique.

Just by looking at the appearance, Lin Xiu knew that this was definitely a pair of equipment with a quality of Silver or above!

Unable to hide his excitement, Lin Xiu immediately took out the shoes from the forging column and then opened the attribute panel of the shoes.

[Boots of Hermes]

[Quality: Purple Crystal]

[Basic attributes: Defense +8, constitution +5, agility +10, movement speed +80%, all attributes resistance +10%]

[Additional Attribute 1: (Hermes's Blessing) The user can move on any flat liquid and gain the ability to jump in the air once. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]

[Additional Attribute 2: (Capture Dream) 70% chance of dodging normal attacks.]

[Additional Attribute 3: (God of Thieves) Able to steal Boss-level monsters, higher chance of obtaining rare items.]

"Hiss… So this is Purple Crystal equipment! It's two levels higher than Silver! This effect is unbelievable!"

After seeing the attributes of this pair of boots, Lin Xiu subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. He was shocked to the extreme.

This pair of equipment called the Boots of Hermes not only provided him with a massive amount of attribute bonuses, but it also had three additional attributes.

Whether it was the ability to walk on liquid or the high probability of dodging the enemy's normal attacks, this effect had completely reached a heaven-defying level.
