I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1418 - 1008: Brainstorming

"Boss, the statue’s form is different from the weapon, your idea won’t work." Lilith organized the series of changes regarding the Sword of Protection and presented them to Zheng Yichen.

The main reason for changes in Faith weapons is an individual’s compatibility and a sufficiently pure belief.

Such belief is akin to the pure faith provided by fanatics, pure rather than clean, but a high level of compatibility allows the weapon’s user to be like a new forging hammer, bringing new impacts on highly compatible weapons.

However, the Balance Scale sculpture does not have a compatibility issue, so Zheng Yichen’s idea simply won’t work.

"So that means I just need to honestly be a blacksmith. No, with so many faith factors in my hands, I can also make use of them... Well, no, I can’t."

Zheng Yichen shook his head with some regret. He had plenty of pure faith factors, but they lacked compatibility. The reason for compatibility is mainly because the weapon user is alive, a natural living being.

This is the necessary condition, as for the existing faith factors, they are essentially like super high-quality precooked meals.

They can rival what chefs produce, but they may not be what the subsequent consumers want to eat.

The same dish may be preferred less salty by some and saltier by others; more importantly, these high-quality precooked dishes lack a soul.

This new discovery only provided Zheng Yichen with a new way to enhance Faith weapons.

Although the conditions for replication are not easy, it benefits him.

It is not easy to replicate in a normal environment, but Zheng Yichen possesses the power of willpower interference, although directly interfering with the weapon itself is not quite effective.

He can, however, attempt indirect influence by interfering with himself, achieving something akin to that of a hero and even manipulating those faith factors.

He’s accumulated too much of it, and utilizing it would be best.

Zheng Yichen defines this method as similar to weapon strengthening in a game.

Forging a plain weapon and continuously strengthening it to continuously enhance its performance.

The hero wielding the Sword of Protection effectively brought a +1 enhancement to the weapon, and as long as they continue to uphold their belief, the weapon can become +2, +3 in the future.

As for how high the upper limit can be, Zheng Yichen holds high expectations for that young guy, to say nothing else.

If it can enhance the upper limit of the Sword of Protection by a tenth, it’s considered defying the heavens; after all, that weapon was crafted by Zheng Yichen’s own hands.

Being able to increase the upper limit by a tenth means that under the same crafting conditions, his crafted weapon would lag by a tenth in performance compared to that weapon.

Surpassing it isn’t impossible, unless the materials are piled up.

This also gave Zheng Yichen a new inspiration, as he could use a large amount of faith power to create single-use weapons.

Additionally, he could also try using this thing to custom-make himself a highly compatible weapon.

As long as the compatibility is high enough, plus the impact of willpower interference, he can wantonly strengthen the highly compatible weapon.

Then, have a grander self-detonation.

Subsequently, Zheng Yichen flipped through other records, essentially finding the most valuable information was related to the records of the Sword of Protection; the Balance Scale sculpture part, nothing special.

Especially in how some people provided so much pure faith, which, for Zheng Yichen, was of no help.

"Fine, let’s go back to blacksmithing." With this new method acquired, Zheng Yichen rubbed his hands and couldn’t resist starting to try.

As long as Zheng Yichen doesn’t cause any destruction, using his own power here is permissible, as this counts as ’personal space’.

As the clanging sounds began, Zheng Yichen crafted a short pistol, the same model as the noise pistol that hadn’t been used for a long time, and during the manufacturing process, he incorporated the faith factor of vengeance.

To Zheng Yichen, the belief in vengeance isn’t entirely negative.

The weapon crafted had low compatibility with Zheng Yichen, but it was sufficient as a single-use consumable, and the compatibility issue wasn’t insurmountable, just needing a trigger condition.

Zheng Yichen used willpower interference to establish a connection between the weapon and himself.

Giving the weapon an additional performance effect, similar to the Catastrophe Curse, the more damage the enemy causes him, the higher his ’compatibility’ with this weapon becomes.

This alternative means of enhancing compatibility isn’t suitable for all faith factors. This weapon can adhere because it has the characteristic of ’vengeance’.

Thus, through the impact of willpower interference, Zheng Yichen could enhance the compatibility with this weapon when injured.

Once compatibility reaches a certain level, he could use his own will to manipulate and mobilize faith power to perform super-spec enhancements on the weapon.

This form of strengthening is more intuitive for enhancing the weapon, and through Lilith’s simulation tests, equal production costs can lead to stronger enhancements.

When used as a consumable, the degree of enhancement would be more exaggerated.

The faith factors for vengeance are not abundant for Zheng Yichen; after making ten such weapons, they were exhausted.

He had a large amount of stored faith factors, but the factors were overly mixed, and they couldn’t be transformed into each other, so using specific faith factors leads to this kind of constraint.

Vengeance actually is among the better ones; factors like gender transformation are also present... just in even fewer quantities.

Zheng Yichen didn’t have much interest in this type of faith factor, yet with so many people using the Balance Scale sculpture, the oddballs inevitably increased in number.

"Hmm, the faith factor of vengeance is used up, so let’s use slaughter, there’s plenty of it." Zheng Yichen looked at the stock of faith factors; slaughter is also one of the major categories of faith factor stock.

Although it doesn’t sound like a positive term, in reality, the faith factor involving slaughter isn’t entirely negative, such as slaughtering monsters.

Enhancing the compatibility of the killing faith weapon can also be achieved through slaughter, and considering the next mission, weapons crafted with this faith factor would be more practical than those with the vengeance attribute.

"Could I even make a deal with those Proxy Agents?" Looking at the weapon he forged, Zheng Yichen dismissed the thought; which Proxy Agent doesn’t have exclusive weapons?

There’s simply no market for this, though the Dusk mercenaries might use it, but it should be fine for allied support.

Detailing the effects, letting them use freely, and in critical moments, use it as a bomb.

As for the benefits to Zheng Yichen by doing this, there are plenty. Firstly, gaining usage insights—an individual’s ideas are limited.

He didn’t forge the Sword of Protection, nor would he acquire new ways to use power at this moment.

This batch of weapons was specifically crafted based on the intelligence from the Sword of Protection’s alterations, creating new weapon types.

Allowing more people to use them might inspire some uniquely thinking or inherently unique Proxy Agents to come up with new operations.

By then, Lilith could record data, pooling ideas for new insights, enabling Zheng Yichen to better utilize those faith powers.

Even if no results are garnered in this area, it could still boost allied forces’ combat capability.
