As he watched the White Buoy land on the water's surface, he began to wait for the right moment. It wasn't long before bubbles appeared, quickly moving from afar towards the White Buoy. When the stream of bubbles reached beneath the White Buoy and began to pull it down rapidly, Yun Xiao Yi tightened his grip on the muscles of his arms and yanked the Fishing Rod with all his might. In an instant, the Fishing Rod shot out like an arrow.
A shimmering object leaped out of the water. Wait, that’s not a fish! It seemed to be a magical item. With a loud splash, it landed heavily at Yun Xiao Yi's feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a book. More precisely, it was a radiant Enchanted Book!
Oh my gosh, it really is an Enchanted Book! Haha, now I can take off! Yun Xiao Yi's eyes widened, and his excitement was evident on his face.
If he hadn’t activated creative mode, obtaining an Enchanted Book would have been incredibly difficult. After all, crafting an Enchanted Book requires both a book and an Enchantment Table. Making a book involves paper and leather, while the Enchantment Table requires books, obsidian, and diamonds. These materials are not easily obtained, especially diamonds. If luck is not on your side, you might toil underground for days without finding any.
Thus, during the early to mid-game stages, fishing is the most effective way to acquire an Enchanted Book. The only downside is that it entirely depends on personal luck. Without the Lucky Ocean Enchantment on the Fishing Rod, the chances of catching treasures are already low. Moreover, these treasures do not only include Enchanted Books; they also encompass Saddles, Enchanted Bows, Enchanted Fishing Rods, Name Tags, Nautilus Shells, and more.
Considering this, it was clear that Yun Xiao Yi's luck was certainly not bad if he managed to fish out an Enchanted Book on his first try.
So, could it be that not finding anything last time was just a way to set the stage for his current good fortune? Thinking this way, Yun Xiao Yi's mood instantly brightened.
With excitement bubbling inside him, he stepped forward to pick up the Enchanted Book from the ground.
Upon examining its contents, he found two top-tier Enchanted Books: Defense Level and Spiked Level.
Yun Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned and rubbed his eyes to ensure he wasn’t seeing things. These were both effective Enchanted Books suitable for a Chest Plate.
This was incredible!
“What is this, Shang Xian?” Zhao Yun asked with curiosity, having just eaten his fill.
Yun Xiao Yi couldn't help but grin widely, his joy practically stretching his ears back to his head. It was an amazing find—truly something extraordinary.
Without wasting another moment, he quickly stood up and dashed towards the villa. “Don’t touch anything here; I’ll be right back!”
Once inside the villa, he headed straight for the Storage Box. He opened it and took out three Iron Ore Blocks. Although he had Iron Ingots in his backpack, Iron Ore Blocks could only be obtained from here.
On the ground floor of the villa stood a Crafting Table. Yun Xiao Yi approached it and opened the Crafting Table interface. He combined the three Iron Ore Blocks with four Iron Ingots to create an Iron Anvil.
Next, he removed the Iron Chestplate he was wearing and placed it on the newly crafted Iron Anvil, along with the Enchanted Book. After spending a few Experience Points as a cost, all the magical effects from the Enchanted Book were transferred onto the Iron Chestplate.
The originally gleaming Iron Chestplate instantly transformed into a radiant Enchanted Book Iron Chest Plate. Equipped with the Enchanted Book Iron Chest Plate, Yun Xiao Yi felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction and strength.
Considering the inherent seven and a half Defense points of the iron armor, combined with a Defense-enhancing Enchanted Book and a Spiked Level Enchanted Book that could retaliate against enemies, along with the extra Health Points gained from leveling up, he could hardly imagine anyone in this tumultuous late Eastern Han period posing a substantial threat to him.
Let’s not forget that most Enchanted Books function on a percentage basis. For instance, a Level One Defense can reduce damage by a certain amount, while Level Four signifies a reduction of up to a higher percentage. Similarly, the effect of spikes also applies damage reduction based on percentages. Whether it’s melee or ranged attacks, both can trigger the spike effect for retaliation.
What does this mean? It means that even if someone attempted to ambush Yun Xiao Yi from afar with a crossbow bolt, before they could see him fall, the reflected damage might be enough to take them down first. After all, even attacks capable of inflicting some damage would be reduced to negligible amounts after passing through Level Four Defense. Moreover, this doesn’t even take into account the further reductions provided by the armor.
If he truly donned his armor, the actual damage received would be even less significant. However, reflected damage is calculated based on the attacker’s original attack power, not the final actual damage dealt. The attacker had neither an Enchanted Book set nor any armor equipped, thus they could not mitigate the damage they received. They would have to endure every bit of reflected harm, even if it wasn’t full damage but rather a fixed percentage; for an ordinary person, it would still be unbearable.
Yun Xiao Yi could sustain injuries and still consume food or potions to recover Stamina; however, for an average person, they could only wait for their wounds to heal slowly.
After leaving his residence, Yun Xiao Yi walked indifferently towards the Pavilion. Zhao Yun and others noticed the Enchanted Armor he was wearing—the Iron Chest Plate.
