As Noah was wondering, the Deathcap in his hand made a movement.
"Burp~"
The hat, with its wide-open mouth, let out a blue magical mist and a burping sound.
"Did it eat too much?"
Seeing the Magic Hat, which had just been flapping, now drooped in his hand, Noah poked its brim. It merely exhaled a magical breath towards Noah, as if greeting him. As a creation of the system, Deathcap would not bear ill will towards Noah.
"Was it hungry just now? Now that it's full, it's quiet." Noah fiddled with the magic-infused hat in his hands, examining it, then brought it to his head, attempting to put it on.
After Noah placed the World Ender's Magic Hat on his head, the blue light from the hat's grinning mouth shone even brighter. A mysterious magical power began to spread from the hat throughout Noah's body. This strange sensation sent a shiver down Noah's spine.
"Whew~ That's invigorating."
After putting on the hat, Noah could clearly perceive the changes within his body. Noah raised his hand and conjured a ball of magical energy; the color of the magic was deeper than usual. Noah's usual magic was generally blue, turning green when using Resolve Rune, but now, the magic in Noah's hand had turned dark blue, with a slight hint of purple.
Not only did the magic's color change, but Noah could feel that his magic was now stronger and more destructive. All of this power came from the hat on his head.
"It feels pretty good." Noah observed the ball of magic in his hand, then waved it out.
"Buzz~"
The magic, casually waved out by Noah, transformed into a deadly attack in the air and smashed into the Vibranium wall. The Vibranium, which could absorb all impact, actually emitted a slight rumble under the bombardment of this magic.
In Noah's previous magic attack tests, whenever magic collided with the Vibranium wall, it was like falling into a muddy swamp, unable to stir up any ripples. He hadn't expected the magic, strengthened by Deathcap, to be so powerful that it could actually affect Vibranium.
"So powerful?"
Seeing the result of this strike, Noah was a little surprised. He then gathered magic again. The magic in his hand changed from blue-purple to light blue, and then back from light blue to blue-purple. Noah breathed a sigh of relief. After wearing the Deathcap and strengthening his magic, he was still able to control his magic as he wished, and there would be no situation where a sudden increase in magic would lead to loss of control.
After completing the equipment power experiment, Noah asked Lissandra to conjure a mirror for him, then looked at his reflection in front of the full-length mirror. Holding the riftmaker and wearing the World Ender's Magic Hat, if he had a magic robe, he could cosplay a mage.
Just as Noah was posing in front of the mirror, the system's voice appeared in Noah's ear again.
"Detected that the Summoner already possesses six complete pieces of equipment. The system's equipment slot is currently updating."
"Huh? Updating?" The system's prompt made Noah stop his actions. He then opened the panel, found the equipment slot, and saw "Updating" displayed on it.
To be honest, Noah didn't have much impression of this equipment slot, because when he put equipment into the system's equipment slot, it could only provide Noah with some attributes. Frankly, it wasn't as useful as having the equipment in hand. For example, if Electrocution Blade and Manamune were put into the equipment slot, he couldn't use them to cut people or discharge electricity.
So Noah generally treated this equipment slot as non-existent. After using equipment, if he remembered, he would put it into the equipment slot; if he didn't remember, he would just put it into his backpack. This shows how little presence this equipment slot had.
However, after collecting the six divine items, the equipment slot actually updated. Noah was a little excited, perhaps this update would turn the equipment slot from a chicken rib into something miraculous. But while the equipment slot hadn't finished updating, Noah still needed to figure out one thing.
"Isn't this riftmaker a Mythic item? I don't see anything different about it?"
Noah picked up the staff with the purple eyeball inlaid in it, brought it closer to his face, and examined it, but he couldn't see anything special. Could it be that all the equipment synthesized by the system now were just regular equipment? And there was no such thing as Mythic items?
"System, can you answer my question?" When in doubt, ask the system, but Noah didn't know if the system could still speak while updating.
"Summoner, the synthesized equipment are all normal Legendary items and will not be Mythic items. If the Summoner wishes to forge Mythic items, you may summon Ornn, the Fire Beneath the Mountain, and use his power for forging."
"Ornn? I wish I could draw him." Mythic items actually require Ornn to forge them. Well, as the God of Forging, it's quite reasonable for Ornn to be able to forge Mythic items.
Just as Noah was briefly studying Mythic items, the equipment slot also finished updating.
"Equipment slot update complete. Summoner, please check the update announcement to understand the update content."
"What the heck, there's actually an update announcement. Are we really playing a game?" Noah complained helplessly, directly clicking the pop-up update announcement link. On the system interface, a passage of text appeared before Noah.
"After the Summoner collects six Legendary items, the system will perform an equipment slot upgrade and update. After the update, when equipment is placed in the equipment slot, 70% of that equipment's abilities will be gained (this value can be increased). The number of equipment slots has been expanded by two (can be further expanded). We hope this update brings a better experience to the Summoner!"
"This update… feels pretty good." After carefully reading the text on the system interface, Noah understood the update content. Now, if he put equipment into the equipment slot, he could gain the equipment's abilities and effects, unlike before, where it merely strengthened his body.
Noah decided to test the effect of the new equipment slot first. He moved the Electrocution Blade from his backpack into the equipment slot. After the action was completed, a wisp of yellow lightning suddenly sparked from Noah's fingertips.
"Huh?" Noah raised his hand, then perceived that a surge of lightning power had indeed appeared within his body.
After clenching his fist, countless bolts of lightning erupted from Noah's hand, illuminating the entire pristine white training room even brighter.
"Now I can really cosplay Thor. Thor, make way for me, haha." Noah was a little excited when he discovered he could shoot lightning. After all, the feeling of shooting lightning from a weapon is different from shooting it from one's own body. Noah, with a beaming smile, shot lightning everywhere.
"Forget Thor, I'll have Zeus make way for me instead." After having his fill of shooting, Noah entered sage mode.
Next, Noah placed the six pieces of equipment into the equipment slot, experiencing the power of each one. The effect of Manamune was similar to Deathcap, both enhancing his magic power. And when placed in the equipment slot alongside Deathcap and riftmaker, Noah's magic power had already turned deep purple, revealing a destructive aura that one could sense with a single glance.
The power of Guardian Angel allowed Noah to unleash holy light, enabling him to directly cosplay a paladin. Noah wasn't sure if the resurrection power would be effective when placed in the equipment slot, but he estimated it would be. After Michael's Blessing was equipped, Noah could also use its power to remove crowd control from others, but the ability to calm people by ringing the bell, as before, was gone. Noah felt that this equipment was better used when taken out.
As for the power of the riftmaker, Noah hadn't dared to use it here yet. He planned to find a time to use it in an uninhabited area far from his estate, to avoid accidentally summoning a Void rift, which would be quite difficult to handle, even though the Void should still be peaceful at this time. But Noah wasn't sure what kind of impact summoning a rift might have on the Void.
However, the World Ender's Magic Hat, or Deathcap, seemed slightly displeased after Noah released it from the equipment slot, constantly tumbling in the air, seemingly protesting Noah locking it inside the equipment slot. Noah could only promise to try not to lock it inside in the future for it to calm down.
Some equipment was more suitable to be carried on him, such as the Michael's Blessing just now; the bell was relatively small and could be carried with him, which was convenient.
As for the hat on his head, after thinking about it, Noah felt he could also carry it. After all, it could move on its own. He could hide it on his body or have it follow him. Doctor Strange's cloak could shrink, and Noah didn't know if the hat could shrink. If not, Noah could also use Lulu's Whimsy to shrink it.
"How do I go about increasing the effect and expanding these two things?" After testing the equipment's effects, Noah recalled the announcement content he had seen earlier. It showed that the 70% effect and the current expansion to 8 equipment slots could be further increased, but the system didn't state how to increase them. When Noah asked, it told him to explore on his own.
"Forget it, I'll look into it later." Noah didn't plan to think too much about it for now. These things were enough for now, and he would consider the equipment slot upgrade in the future.
"Everything's pretty much done. The gains from this time were decent." In this lottery, Noah obtained a hero, two legendary completed items, an updated equipment slot, and many potions, as well as the True Sight wards he needed more of. For him, this summon could be said to be a huge jackpot.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there's still a fragment I haven't opened."
