~~~~~~~~
Looking at the information, Shi Li was surprised to find out that the description was extremely vivid.
'Do the descriptions have a relation to the power of the equipment?' Shi Li pondered over this before continuing to look at the screen.
Not long after, his eyes glued on a certain part of the screen.
'[Grade]: E+'
Looking at it got Shi Li's head thinking. 'According to the eye, D is the lowest. But through deduction and some information from the eye, there was still a grade lower than D, which is E grade. E grade refers to those without cultivation for beasts.'
He then scratched his head. 'So if E grade is for things without cultivation, then what is E+ grade?'
Unexpectedly, the information on the screen changed as it answered Shi Li's question.
~~~~~~~~
E+ grade is a grade for those items that have power beyond normal items, but lacking when compared to those that need cultivation to wield.
In terms of beasts and humans, E+ grade refers to those with superhuman abilities like innate divine strength, innate divine speed, and so on.

~~~~~~~~
Shi Li closed his eyes for a few seconds before nodding inwardly as he understood. 'So these bongos have power beyond the mortal limits but not enough to reach the path of cultivation.'
He continued to look at the equipment information screen and saw another two things that stood out.
[Can be repaired] and [Can be upgraded].
'White Screen, what do I have to pay to repair this equipment and what do I get in exchange?'
~~~~~~~~
Price needed to pay: 1 log of Enchanted Forest Wood, 3 Grade D-4 pelts, 30% of user's mental energy and stamina
Item in exchange: Grade E+ to Grade D War Drums of the Fallen
~~~~~~~~
'Oh? It seems it needs less mental energy than repairing techniques. How about upgrading the item?'
~~~~~~~~
Price needed to pay: 5 Ruin Spirit Qi Wood, 2 Grade D-6 pelts, 60% of user's mental energy and stamina
Item in exchange: Grade E+ to Grade D++ War Drums of the Fallen
~~~~~~~~
Looking at the two screens that answer both of his questions, Shi Li knew that once he repaired and upgraded the bongos, he'll have his hands on a Peak Human equipment. An equipment even rare for the clan leaders of Verdant Breeze Town.
Shi Li touched the bongos before giving it to Moddy. "Here you go, the item that extends the range of your sounds even further."
Moddy happily received it and said, "Nya! Human, I'm gonna test this out and see if it does work-nya. If it does, I'll give you the special Ruin Forest Wood-nya."
Shi Li nodded before unexpectedly yawning. He placed the items he used to craft the bongos nearer to the special wood as he found a soft patch of grass and lied on top of it.
"Well if you're going to test it out, do it far away from me. I'm going to sleep." Shi Li closed his eyes and attuned his senses to the surroundings, keeping a small part of consciousness awake in case of emergency.
Moddy looked at this and walked opposite to where Shi Li was. But not long after, Moddy shook his head and came back to where Shi Li was sleeping, placing the bongos near the special wood.
'This human is the maker of the equipment-nya so he should witness how great it is-nya.'
Moddy found a comfortable spot near Shi Li and lied on top of it, slowly closing its eyes.
A human and a cat sleeping beside one another, as the moonlight casts its rays on the center of the forest. It can give someone a sense of tranquility.
...
The sun blessed the forest with its first rays on the east, giving the forest vitality. At the meantime, Shi Li and Moddy were still sleeping.
It was a few hours later before Shi Li gave signs of awakening, sitting upright a good night's rest.
"Haaaaah..." Shi Li yawned as he stood up and stretched his body, conditioning his body for the long day. He looked at Moddy who slept beside him and smiled.
"Hey Moddy, wake up."
Moddy, who was still lying on the grass, opened its beady eyes and looked at Shi Li.
"Hnnnn...nya?"
Moddy's consciousness was still hazy but it slowly became more awake as time passed. After a minute, Moddy stood up and did some "stretches" as well.
"So, did you test the drums out?" Shi Li asked.
"Nya..." Moddy's consciousness was still a bit hazy but it replied after a few seconds of recalling. "Nya...I didn't test it-nya...I didn't want to disturb your sleep-nya...Plus you're the maker, you should witness its prowess-nya..."
Moddy slowly walked over to where the bongos were and took a deep breath. In an instant, its sleepiness was removed, replacing with a vibrant and cheerful energy.
"Witness this-nya!"
Moddy tapped the wolf pelt on the bongo lightly and...
Bang!
A loud thump could be heard throughout a 10 kilometers radius from the bongos. It sounded like a lion's roar, but amplified to a great extent. This thump also expanded the invisible barrier bordering the center and the inner depths by two kilometers, increasing the surface area of the center.
Those beasts that were caught inside the barrier off-guard noticed this and hurriedly ran away to the outside of the barrier. These beasts definitely knew, if someone had a barrier, they would definitely be powerful.
Moddy gave another tap on the bongos.
Bang!
This time, every living being that heard the sound was affected, instantly reducing their movement speed and morale to a great degree, save for Moddy and Shi Li. With their fears intensified, they ran as fast as possible. Yet with their movement speed reduced, it took quite a while for them to leave the barrier.
Moddy's eyes lit up as it looked at the bongos with glee. "Nyahahaha! These drums increased my combat prowess by threefold easily!"
It then looked at Shi Li with a smile and said, "Human, you're the greatest-nya! Tell me your name, let's become friends-nya!"
Shi Li was taken aback from the bongos' effects when it was wielded by Moddy. 'An E+ grade is already this strong? Then what if it was D+++ grade?' This thought made his body shiver.
Concurrently, Shi Li heard Moddy and smiled back. "My name's Shi Li. It's a pleasure being friends with you Moddy."
Moddy continued to tap on the bongos but didn't use its skills, only making rhythmic beats. "Nya nya! It's a pleasure as well-nya! Since you've done your part of the deal, I'll do mine as well-nya! You can have the special wood to yourself-nya!"
Shi Li grinned widely. He finally achieved what he wanted to get. He finally had the special Ruin Forest Wood. If he used it as a payment for the storage function, then the item in exchange would obviously change.
With that all set, he proceeded to head out of the barrier as he also needed 5 Grade E beast corpses as payment for the storage function. Surprisingly, Moddy followed him as it carried the bongos on its stubby paws.
Shi Li looked at Moddy and asked, "Why are you following me?"
Moddy chuckled with glee. "Nya. You're going to the inner depths nya? Let me join as well-nya. It's too boring here-nya. From the start of my life, I haven't stepped a foot outside of the center area-nya! I want to explore the outside world-nya!"
Shi Li shrugged his shoulders and lightly smiled before continuing to head outside the barrier.
"If you want to come with me, then go ahead. I won't stop you. We're friends after all."
Moddy, who was still holding the bongos, hurriedly ran towards Shi Li with its eyes gleaming as it shouted with excitement.
"Nya! Let's go!"
