In just one minute, Zhang Mu felt like a century had passed. However, there was no other way. He needed to give it a try. The means he had now to improve his combat power were very limited.

"drop......"

Finally, he heard the sound of the silent furnace again, and Zhang Mu's heart suddenly began to lift again.

"System certification, the target raw material is the material of the first-level mutant beast parts."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Mu's heart instantly cooled. It still didn't work. Was he going to lose the bet this time? Was the Obsidian Claw Thorn not qualified after all?

However, Zhang Mu's mood immediately began to fluctuate again, because the furnace seemed to have not finished speaking.

"Judgment deviation. Although it is made of the material of a first-level mutant beast part, the material is judged to have forging value and meets the standards. Epoch Agent Merchant No. 001, please select the forging level."

Panting heavily, Zhang Mu's mood really went up and down in the past few minutes. He felt that he was about to be tormented by this furnace.

It seems that this Obsidian of mine really has a little secret. It actually meets the standards of the strict weapon recasting system of the Anno Store.

"No. 001, you have chosen to recast a second-level weapon. Please select your recasting requirements from the following options."

"Basic recasting, twenty-two gold leaves, just general processing, some polishing and modification based on the raw materials themselves."

"Primary recast, thirty-three gold leaves, slightly mixed with the fusion of special era store materials, there may be a slight increase in some aspects, but don't hold too high hopes."

"Advanced recast, sixty-six gold leaves, mixed with special materials collected by the Epoch Store, a weapon tailor-made with the raw materials as the core, there will be unexpected surprises."

"Special-grade recast, the price is not fixed, depending on the needs of the maker. It is tailor-made and worth having. However, the corresponding authority for No. 001 is not open now, and the identity of an intermediate agent merchant of the era is required."

After hearing what the furnace said, Zhang Mu's facial expression was very strange. Of course, he wanted to choose the custom-made method, but he was rejected by the furnace? This was the case when No. 37 opened up further permissions for him in advance.

Zhang Mu looked at number 37 for help.

At a glance, but No. 37 he also said that he was powerless, because giving Zhang Mu the authority to become a junior agent was the maximum scope of his power. You know, no matter how outstanding Zhang Mu's performance this time is, he has just completed one task as an apprentice Epoch Agent, and is still far from completing five tasks to reach the level of a junior Epoch Agent.

In this case, there was no other way. Zhang Mu had to settle for the next best thing and went straight to the weapon recast furnace and said, "Weapon recast system, I choose advanced recast."

This is a mechanical system, so it naturally doesn't care why Zhang Mu can come up with so many gold leaves. It is only responsible for executing orders.

"No. 001, choose the advanced recast of the second-level weapon, which will cost sixty-six gold leaves. Are you sure?"

Hearing the cold mechanical sound of the furnace, Zhang Mu quickly replied, "Sure."

The moment he shouted "Confirm", more than half of his bag of gold leaves was instantly emptied. Without even looking, Zhang Mu knew that sixty-six gold leaves had been taken away. The transaction speed of Jiyuan Store was really fast.

"Is there a specific weapon style? Depending on the size of the raw material, you can choose from daggers, short swords, claws, steel needles, etc. Number 001, please select."

Zhang Mu answered without hesitation, "Dagger, forge a dagger for me."

"No. 001, payment has been made, and we will start the advanced recasting now. It will take time, five minutes, please wait."

Then there was no sound. The nine dragon heads on the Nine Dragon Cauldron suddenly raised up, as if they were roaring to the sky, and began to exhale white air from nine different directions.

Zhang Mu seemed to be able to see through the thick furnace wall, and see the Obsidian Claws being melted and mixed with other metals. However, no matter how hard he tried to imagine, Zhang Mu had no idea what was going to happen.

So, Zhang Mu began to plan where to use the remaining twenty-and-a-half gold leaves.

Because this furnace forging directly plundered most of his property, he had no money to purchase many of the goods he had originally selected.

After eliminating several options, Zhang Mu was troubled by the last two choices.

"The amulet of spirit can effectively resist the second-level spiritual ability evolution of a part of

Attack with 100% force. Worth 15 gold leaves."

"Advanced berserk potion, can increase one's speed and strength to two to three times the original within an hour, limited to evolvers of level two and below, no side effects, worth eighteen gold leaves."

Zhang Mu wanted the spiritual amulet very much, because what he lacked most now was spiritual defense. However, Zhang Mu was also very tempted by the berserk potion without side effects. You know, the potions that he had seen before that could increase ability for a period of time all had a period of weakness after use. This potion was actually very suitable for Zhang Mu. With his current strength and speed that reached the limit of the first level, if it were increased three times, it would reach a very scary level, so he was very conflicted now.

Which one will he choose?

Zhang Mu thought for a few minutes, and decisively said to No. 37, "I choose the Spirit Amulet, plus one unit of the second-level recovery potion, and the remaining one and a half gold leaves can be exchanged for 1,500 Yuan Crystals."

Zhang Mu was really scared of that guy Ling. What he lacked most now was mental defense. Once he met an opponent like Ling, he would be completely helpless and could only be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Although it was unlikely that another evolver like Zero would appear, what if? The world was so big that nothing could be impossible. After such an incident, Zhang Mu no longer dared to act according to his own assessment of himself.

He would rather ensure his own safety and be able to fight back when attacked mentally. In comparison, the strength of pulling mountains and rivers and the speed as fast as the wind are not very important. Anyway, Zhang Mu's main means of fighting now still rely on his mutant beasts and blood vine lotus, so having a weapon for self-defense is enough.

Number 37 nodded and said, "Well, OK, a total of twenty-one and a half gold leaves. Exchange for a spiritual amulet, one unit of second-level recovery potion, and one thousand five hundred crystals."

"Deal done."

This time, the gold leaf in Zhang Mu's hand was completely empty, but the jade pendant lying quietly in his palm made him feel a lot more at ease.

At this moment, the weapon recasting system also completed this advanced recasting, emitting a mechanical sound that became pleasant to Zhang Mu's ears.

"Advanced recasting completed, number 001, please check."
