......

With the fifth egg being upgraded to +10, Bai Yunfei could sigh in relief and think about what he had learned.

In front of him all five eggs were completely still on the ground. Perhaps it was because they were all +10 now, but with the light coming off of them, the cave felt slightly more mythical in nature.

Bai Yunfei felt disappointed despite that. He had been expecting some unique stats, but none of these ‘equipment’ had anything special after being upgraded to +10. It really did feel like they were just normal mid-human tier equipment.

“Ugh, a wasted effort. It’s just a soul armament in a giant egg form!” Bai Yunfei angrily sighed. “What can I even do with this ‘soul armament’? I can’t even trade them!

“Might as well upgrade them for the experience.”

He took one of the eggs into his hand.

“Upgrade.”

Upgrade Failed

Equipment Destroyed

Upon failure to upgrade, the egg was reduced to multicolored ashes that sprinkled down to the floor.

“Urgh....”

Disappointment filled Bai Yunfei’s mouth. This wasn’t an unexpected result, and neither was it a painful outcome, so Bai Yunfei continued.

“Upgrade.”

Upgrade Failed

Equipment Destroyed

Another one of the eggs was reduced to ashes, resulting in him taking a third.

“Upgrade.”

“Last one,"

Bai Yunfei picked up the fifth egg,

“It worked again?!”

Bai Yunfei was speechless,

“Two out of five! Tsk, why didn’t I have this type of luck when upgrading other equipment before?”

Despite two of the eggs being +11, Bai Yunfei didn’t really care about them. They were still something he could amuse himself with and didn’t care if they broke, so he took the egg with six elements into his hands.

“Upgrade.”

Upgrade Failed

Equipment Destroyed

Watching as the egg was reduced to ashes, Bai Yunfei chuckled,

"Thought so...

“And now for the last one!

“Upgrade.”

“Uhm....”

This time, Bai Yunfei was really without words.

“It worked again?!

“Really, what kind of luck is this? If I’d known earlier, I would’ve upgraded something more useful.

“It’s been a long time since I managed to upgrade anything to +12, and an egg to boot. What kind of joke is this....”

Somewhat pained at his success, Bai Yunfei decided to go for broke.

“Upgrade!”

Fury exploded onto Bai Yunfei’s face in form of a red light as he stared in disbelief at the egg in his hand.

“I....thi...wha...I...”

Incoherent at the event that had just transpired, Bai Yunfei couldn’t even believe his eyes. They were glued to the egg, and while his eyes were staring unflinchingly at it, his face was already going through several shades of red and green.

In his anger, he flew to his feet and smashed the egg to the ground,

“F*cking hell, I’ve been cheated!”

......

This wasn’t the first time Bai Yunfei acted this way....

Having remembered such a feeling before, Bai Yunfei practically cried to himself, “This is exactly just like that one time!”

That one time he referred to was when the brick had been upgraded to +13....

Still slightly dazed by the results of the egg, Bai Yunfei took a while to retrieve the egg from the one meter deep hole in the ground. Dusting it off from any of the dirt, Bai Yunfei stared again at it in disbelieving silence.

“Is the Upgrade Equipment Technique ‘intentionally’ doing this to me? I blew up dozens of earth tier soul armaments the last time, and not one of them made it to +12!! And now, here I am with a +13 egg I picked up out of nowhere....

“What’s going on? Having the brick become +13 was already shameful enough. I can pass the brick off as being some sort of easy to use street weapon, but an egg? What am I going to do with that, throw it at my enemies?!”

Just thinking about how he’d use the egg to block an enemy’s attack or use it to slam into their heads made Bai Yunfei shudder fiercely.
