"What?" Zu An was both surprised and delighted. The main reason was that Mi Li was now appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Even though she had clearly woken up from her slumber, she would not respond when he tried to talk to her. He didn't know if she had fallen back into a deep sleep or simply didn't want to talk to him.
Hearing her voice now, Zu'an couldn't help but feel a strange joy.
"What exactly is it?" Zu'an asked hurriedly.
Mi Li hesitated and said, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel a sense of familiarity. Why don't you take a look around the area first?"
Zu'an nodded, then asked Shen Xuzi, "Are there any other alchemy furnaces?"
Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Shen Xuzi was somewhat surprised and had no choice but to take out another furnace: "This furnace is called the Frugal Furnace!"
Jiang Luofu, who was standing to the side, asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing as a frugal or not frugal alchemy furnace?"
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Since alchemy furnaces can be divided into good and evil, they can naturally also have the concept of thrift."
Shen Xuzi stroked his beard and nodded hastily: "Master Zu is indeed one of us; few can match his insight."
Jiang Luofu rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother arguing with this guy.
Shen Xuzi stroked the alchemy furnace in his hand and said, "This furnace has a 25% chance of returning the alchemy materials after each pill is refined. The most scarce resource for us in alchemy is the various materials. With this furnace, we can save a lot of material costs over time. Especially since some materials are very precious and rare, if the return probability is triggered, we can earn even more."
Zuan couldn't help but exclaim, "That really is a frugal alchemy furnace."
Shen Xuzi also became interested and wanted to show off his collection. He took out another alchemy furnace: "This furnace is called the Luxury Furnace. Each time you refine the same pill, you need 50% more raw materials than other furnaces, and then there is a 10% chance of getting double the pills."
Zuan couldn't help but complain, "Only a 10% chance of doubling the power? That makes this furnace way too expensive!"
Shen Xuzi nodded: "That's right. If it's for refining ordinary pills, this furnace is indeed not as good as other furnaces. But when it comes to refining some special pills, it often has miraculous effects. For example, some very precious pills require materials that are too rare and precious to gather enough raw materials to make two pills. In that case, you can try using this furnace."
Jiang Luofu, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but frown slightly: "Isn't this just gambling? As the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose. I don't like this stove."
As a legalist, she naturally resisted these characteristics.
Shen Xuzi laughed and said, "This furnace does indeed test one's luck, so sometimes I privately call it the 'gambling furnace.' For ordinary people, using this furnace will definitely result in a loss, but for some people with great fortune, using this furnace will definitely result in a profit. I think Mr. Zu is such a person with great fortune."
"Fourth Senior Brother, you flatter me." Zu An chuckled, while secretly thinking that he had once drawn a luck-enhancing pill in the Mingyue City gambling house. Although he couldn't use it for the keyboard system lottery, it was perfect for using this alchemy furnace.
He was somewhat tempted, but when he thought of the familiar things Mi Li had mentioned, he suppressed his restless desire and decided to wait and see.
Seeing that he was still unmoved, Shen Xuzi was somewhat surprised. Wasn't this guy's standards a bit too high?
However, he was in the mood to show off his collection at this moment, so he didn't say anything and led him to continue walking inside.
Jiang Luofu, on the other hand, was a little worried and secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "Grandpa, that's enough. If we keep picking at it like this, we might anger our fourth senior brother, which would be a loss."
Zu An smiled bitterly. It seemed that even Jiang Luofu thought he was greedy. Unfortunately, he couldn't explain to her the various reasons, so he could only bite the bullet and make the choice.
At this moment, Shenxuzi picked up a uniquely shaped alchemy furnace, the patterns on its body faintly forming a smiling face: "This furnace is called the Mischievous Furnace."
Jiang Luofu: "..."
She was already numb from listening to it all; what kind of weird and wonderful things did this guy collect?
Shen Xuzi continued, "The unique feature of this alchemy furnace is that it randomly endows each pill with a special attribute after it is refined."
Zuan was taken aback: "Then wouldn't this alchemy furnace be the best? After refining the pills, it will add an extra attribute out of thin air."
Shen Xuzi sighed: "It's not that simple. The attributes granted by this pill are completely random and not necessarily positive. Sometimes there are negative attributes that can ruin the pill."
Zuan: "..."
"This alchemy furnace is probably the real gambler's furnace."
Just then, Mi Li's voice rang in his mind: "The green stove in the cabinet to the right front, that's it."
Zu An was somewhat surprised. Following the other party's directions, he looked at the furnace, which was quite ordinary. It was a stretch to call it a pill-refining furnace. The furnaces that Shen Xuzi had introduced earlier all had a faint shimmering light on their surfaces.
But the surface of this stove is completely blank. Well, that's not entirely accurate; there's something on the surface, a layer of greenish tinge...
"This color is really unlucky," Zu'an thought with a hint of resistance. "Sister Empress, you must be mistaken. Why don't you take another look?"
Mi Li's displeased voice came through: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who jumps to conclusions?"
Zuan knew it wasn't right, so he went over and picked up the small green stove in the corner: "This color feels like it's meant for me, so let's take it."
Seeing that Shenxuzi had casually tossed it in a corner, not seeming to value it much, he figured he wouldn't be reluctant to part with it, so he didn't use any tricks and went straight to the point.
