Chapter 65 Fortunately, the cake is delicious
Lu Yao has experience in making potions. The [Almighty Stone] is easier to operate than the crucible and does not require other ingredients.
Just provide faith crops as fuel and burn stones.
Lu Yao clicked on the [Almighty Stone], and an icon of [Casting (10 Faith)] appeared on it.
Continue selecting icons.
After Faith -10, a large picture of the Omnipotent Stone will appear on the screen.
A piece of stone with a star-like luster became soft and twisted under the pale flame.
【Casting failed】.
Lu Yao thought to himself that it was true.
The problem lies in the phrase "with a certain probability" in the description of the Almighty Stone. When the price is not transparent, it is usually because the real price is too high...
Just like the squid tentacles of Cao X duck neck.
Most cold dishes and stewed foods are priced at a pound, but Cao X's squid tentacles are priced at around 27. People who don't buy them often don't notice that the price of squid tentacles is in 100 grams, so the actual price is 138 per pound.
The merchant played such a trick because he knew that the price was outrageous and that directly displaying it would discourage many working people from buying. Consumers only realized that they had been cheated when they paid.
Although some people may think it is expensive, they will still grit their teeth and buy it.
[Almighty Stone] uses the same technique.
Compared with them, golden dice are fair and honest, and are the conscience of the market.
Casting is a bottomless pit. No matter how much faith there is, it cannot withstand such continuous consumption... In the end, Ming Shen only created a [Broken Potion Crucible], and he can be regarded as a victim of the Omnistone scam.
Lu Yao thought.
If he could find an item that could increase the probability of forging, or if one of his subordinates had the ability to cast or smelt, he would consider trying it. He had quite a few items in his hands, so he was not short of them.
It is worth a try to strengthen this ability.
Unsure whether failure would result in damage to the props, Lu Yao first found a test subject.
[Refine (10 Faith)]
Lu Yao clicked on the icon and a square suddenly appeared on the screen.
[Please put in the treasure that needs to be strengthened. 】
Lu Yao threw the potion crucible in.
In the picture, the crucible is wrapped in the fire of faith.
After a moment.
【Refining failed】.
Failure was expected.
The good news is that failed refining has no negative consequences and does not destroy the item itself.
At this time, Isabel had already led people to further dig and develop in the mine. They had output one after another, and the number of [Almighty Stone] in the upper left corner was slowly rising.
Lu Yao used the second and third omnipotent stones.
The failures continue.
It wasn't until the nineteenth time that the situation finally changed.
【Refining successful】.
A brand new illustration appeared on the screen.
The picture shows a crystal clear stone bowl.
…
[Potion Crucible LV1]: Faith +1/hour, heated by the fire of faith, can produce unstable potions.
【Potion Recipe】
Madness Pill: Add a spoonful of sand, a spoonful of blood, a spoonful of salt, and a spoonful of rotting corpse.
Effect: Gain the [Crazy] attribute, damage +1, defense -2.
…
The crazy pill does have attribute effects, but the crucible was damaged before and was not enough to display this information.
Lu Yao was quite satisfied with the experimental results.
The goal is achieved.
If you have enough reserves of Omni-Stones, you can gradually try to strengthen some items that have not yet reached a certain level.
For example, [Energy Cane], [Magic Harpoon], [Drifting Letter], and [Weeping Amber].
Lu Yao decided to temporarily move the cave dwelling monsters in the tribe here. They are good at digging, which is just right for mining.
The spotted lynx also continued to stay on the island to continue to reduce the size of the crazy lemming population and prevent them from rising again.
…
At the company, Sister Peng hasn't come to work for two days.
Boss Huang, who has always been ashamed to see people asking for leave, turned a blind eye to this.
Lu Yao was a little confused about this. He had called Sister Peng before and asked her about some work issues. Sister Peng acted very normal, but she didn't talk about why she didn't come to work.
Since the other party didn't say anything, Lu Yao tactfully didn't ask.
At noon, Boss Huang found Lu Yao.
"Xiao Lu, go to Peng Xiaoyi later and bring this to her."
Boss Huang handed him a handbag containing a box of Holiland cheesecake.
"She lives in 305, Century City Phase II, Luoguxiang. You can go directly there. Get off work early today."
After the boss gave the order, Lu Yao left the company early and took a bus to Century City.
When Sister Peng opened the door, she was not surprised to see Lu Yao.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Did Lao Huang ask you to come?"
"Um."
Lu Yao handed her the snacks and said, "Sister Peng, I'll leave first."
He was still thinking about the simulator.
"Why are you leaving? Let's eat together. I'm trying to lose weight recently and I can't eat much."
Sister Peng waved her hand and said very naturally, "Come in, why are you standing there?"
Lu Yao had a feeling that the other party really treated him as a younger brother.
The two of them ate some snacks with the juice.
Sister Peng wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "Go back and tell Lao Huang not to worry. I'm not changing jobs. I've really been feeling unwell these past two days. I went to the Second Municipal Hospital and am still waiting for a follow-up examination."
Lu Yao nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
"Where's that little girl from last time, Isabel?"
Sister Peng sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked with interest, "Are you back? Did you really run away?"
Lu Yao could only say: "She is still at home."
"Don't. Don't."
Sister Peng said seriously, "As someone who has been through this, I need to tell you some life experience."
"Long-distance relationships, especially those in different countries, are too risky. If you're not careful, one day when both parties feel lonely, have a few drinks, or hear a few sweet words, they might get soft-hearted and something bad might happen."
"People cannot stand temptation."
"With Isabel's looks and temperament, how could there be no one pursuing her? If I were a man, I would definitely be around her all day long until we get a marriage certificate."
"How come you don't have any sense of crisis? Are you stupid?"
“…”
Lu Yao smiled awkwardly.
He had reason to suspect that Sister Peng invited him to have dessert just to gossip about Isabel.
Just as Lu Yao was about to find an excuse to leave, there was a knock on the door.
Sister Peng looked over, opened the door and said, "Why are you here at this time? Hey, who is this?"
The other person said, "Sister Xiaoyi, you are sick and live alone, so as your cousin, I took the initiative to come over to visit you. It must be inconvenient for my father to come over."
Lu Yao looked towards the door following the sound.
At a glance, he found that the person coming was someone he knew, it was Boss Huang's daughter Amy.
Wait.
Amy called herself a cousin to Sister Peng? It turns out Sister Peng is also a relative! She hid it too well.
Lu Yao was shocked.
No wonder Boss Huang always asked me to run errands. The company was full of people with connections, and whoever the boss called might be discussed and speculated by others. On the contrary, I, a young outsider, was the most suitable for this role.
Lu Yao noticed that there was a girl standing next to Amy.
She wore a colorful striped sweater, had short silver-gray hair, and pursed her thin lips. She looked about 20 years old, with the bright and delicate look that only young girls have, making it hard to take your eyes off her.
It turned out to be Song Shiyi.
Why is she here? Did she come all the way here to investigate Fu Chenggang's case? Lu Yao suddenly felt a little panicked.
He quickly ate another piece of dessert to calm himself.
Luckily the cake was delicious.
