As for taking off his equipment, Lu Li simply didn’t dare to do that.
Even with his equipment on, being caught in an explosion reduced his health down to about 1,000HP. If half of his HP would be blasted away with his equipment on, he would probably be instantly killed if he took it off.
When Lu Li finally upgraded his Engineering to Intermediate Level (135), nearly all of his equipment was red.
Equipment turned yellow when its Durability became low, at which point the system would prompt players to repair it. After becoming red, the equipment’s stats would be affected and if the player still didn’t repair it, there was a possibility that it could be permanently damaged.
Repairing his equipment costed 7 gold coins.
Having equipment that was too good was also a problem. The repairing fees were incredibly damning.
