"Ahem, Master Lu, calm down." Haoran quickly comforted him: "I only found these things in its belly. There are no human bones in them. Maybe they were lost accidentally."
Lukes raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his sad eyes.
"Master Lu, I can't recover that key. Is there any way you can repair it? Take a look at the contents of the jewelry box. There may be new clues." Haoran reminded the master blacksmith.
"Yes, yes." Lukes said repeatedly. He clutched the key tightly and headed straight to the secret workshop where gold equipment was synthesized last time.
After a while, he walked out of it, and the two and a half keys in his hand had merged into one. In front of Haoran, he carefully inserted it into the small bronze lock, turned it slightly, but heard "pop"
"With a soft sound, the small lock fell off the jewelry box.
Lukes opened the jewelry box with trembling hands, and Haoran also held his breath. He spent a lot of effort to get such a few clues, but he really wanted to know what was inside.
Unexpectedly, there was no jewelry in the jewelry box, only a neatly folded piece of parchment.
"It's Bingguang's word!" Lukesi immediately showed a look of surprise after unfolding the scroll.
"Look at what's written." Haoran also became more energetic. It was said that he had accepted this task for a long time, but the Bingguang lady had been mysteriously refusing to surface, making him always here.
It's really a bit unpleasant to be preoccupied with things.
"Extremely cold place, save me!" Lukes looked over it several times, but there were only these six words on the paper.
Master Lu's brows that had just relaxed were furrowed again, and he said, "This piece of paper looks to be old. It's true that it's Bingguang's handwriting, but when was it written?"
"It seems to have been three or four years ago." Haoran also took a closer look and said suspiciously: "The extremely cold place seems to be far away from Biyou City. How could this note asking for help appear in the misty swamp?"
He clearly remembered that the extremely cold place was in the wilderness. The last time he went there, he had used the power of the Space Gate. Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach it even by running for a day.
"It's about Bingguang's life. I would rather miss it than miss it!" Lukes said with a determined look in his eyes: "It has been more than ten years since I finally got news about her. I have to go and check it out no matter what.
.”
"Master Lu, I'll go with you." Haoran was unwilling to give up any chance of getting a hidden mission, so he quickly volunteered.
"It's too dangerous there, I'm afraid it will implicate you!" Lukes was a little hesitant. He didn't know the dangers ahead, but he was a little worried that if he failed to save his wife, innocent people would get involved.
"It is because of the danger that I want to go with you." Haoran puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I have been to the extremely cold place some time ago, and I have some friendship with the leader of the polar snow fox there.
, maybe you can ask them to help find someone together?"
"If that's the case, that would be great." Lukesi heard what he said and nodded vigorously. The extremely cold place is covered with ice and snow, and it is extremely easy to get lost. If you have a good guide, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort. And in front of you
This crazy newbie claims to be friends with the polar snow fox clan, so the potential danger is somewhat reduced.
"Before I go, I need to make some preparations." Lukesi thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobai, I will come find you and set off together in a week."
"One week?" Haoran was stunned. He thought that the blacksmith who was eager to save his wife would immediately grab an ax and go to save people.
"Yes, extremely cold places are very dangerous, and we must be fully prepared. If you and I go there, I'm afraid if someone is not rescued, they will hit us. I'm going out to find an old friend, and I'll get it from him.
I will lend you the unparalleled magic weapon here, so that I have a certain chance of success." Lukesi said cautiously: "Moreover, this time I will also call Lucy, and she will prepare some alchemy bombs and other things, and she can also draw from certain sources.
This will increase our combat effectiveness to a certain extent. But all of this requires time to prepare."
"Master Lu, then you should be ready." Haoran nodded. One week is all. Tomorrow he has to go to Biyou City to seal the blood demon with his life. There is no telling how many levels he will lose. In one week, he can recover what he has lost.
The more levels you replenish, the more likely you are to complete the mission.
"I'm going out right now. If anything happens in the meantime, you can discuss it with the apprentice downstairs." Lukes said and walked towards the stairs.
"Look at my memory, I'm just patronizing myself. This is the money I paid for selling equipment last time, please keep it." Just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly turned back, took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket, and handed it to Haoran.
.
"Master Lu, you're welcome." Haoran weighed the gold coins. There were more than a thousand gold coins, which was a large number.
"You haven't been here for several days. There are six to seven hundred pieces of white equipment stored in the shop. If you have time, please help me put them together." Master Lu said in concern.
"No problem, master, you can go with peace of mind." Haoran walked straight to a pile of equipment. Even if Lu Kes didn't say anything, he would have done the job. His synthesis technique relied on these inconspicuous items.
The white equipment has been promoted.
Lukes nodded happily, turned and left.
"Ding, player Kuangsheng Xiaobai, you use the synthesis technique to get a piece of bronze-level equipment."
"Ding, player Kuangsheng Xiaobai, you use the synthesis technique to get a piece of bronze-level equipment."
The system's beeps continued to sound along with the white light of the synthesis technique, and bronze and silver equipment appeared at his feet one after another. At the same time, Haoran's synthesis technique proficiency increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ding, the player is crazy about Xiaobai. You use the synthesis technique to get a piece of silverware-level equipment."
"Ding, player Kuangsheng Xiaobai, please note that your synthesis proficiency has reached 500 and has been officially upgraded to level three." After an unknown period of time, Haoran, who was buried in the bronze and silverware and was working hard, was heard by a crisp sound.
Wake up with a beep.
Finally upgraded! He was overjoyed. Having upgraded to the third level of synthesis technique, didn't it mean that he could synthesize gold-level equipment?
Thinking of this, he quickly picked up four pieces of silverware from the ground and used his skills.
"Ding, player Kuangsheng Xiaobai, are you sure you want to synthesize gold equipment? Note that the success rate of synthesizing gold equipment or above is only 50%. If the synthesis fails, the equipment will be permanently destroyed."
The system prompt surprised Haoran. In the past, whether he used white equipment to synthesize bronze or bronze to synthesize silver, the success rate was 100%, and there was no such thing as failure.
Calculated based on a 50% success rate, it would take eight pieces of silver equipment to synthesize one piece of gold equipment with unknown attributes. He made a rough estimate that although the gold equipment on the market is in short supply, if it has poor attributes, it cannot be sold for 8 times the price.
Considering the price of silverware, this business seems to be a bit of a loss.
Thinking of this, he slowly put down the four pieces of silver-level equipment in his hands, and still synthesized bronze and silver items as before.
However, something unexpected happened to Haoran this time. After using white equipment to synthesize four or five bronze items in succession, his proficiency in the synthesis technique did not increase at all.
Isn't it? He started to combine bronzeware with silverware again, and after combining three or four pieces, his proficiency hardly improved.
Weird, Haoran didn't believe in evil, so he used all the remaining equipment in a fit of rage. However, after synthesizing ten pieces of silver equipment, his poor proficiency reluctantly increased by 1 point.
No! After reaching level three, do you have to synthesize gold equipment to successfully earn proficiency? Haoran took a breath, and from the skill attribute bar, he could see that the level of synthesis increased from three to four, which required 2,000 points.
The proficiency level, at this rate, it will be more difficult than fantasy to upgrade!
The third level of synthesis can synthesize gold equipment, and the fourth level can synthesize platinum level one equipment. Upgrading to level five can even synthesize the best crystal level one equipment, not to mention the deified equipment after level five and six.
prospects.
However, the further you go, the more proficiency you need to upgrade. It costs 100 points to upgrade from level one to level two, 500 points to upgrade level two to level three, and 2,000 points to upgrade level three to level four, which increases exponentially.
For now, for Haoran, the required proficiency level from three to four is already an astronomical figure.
"God, you can't torment me like this!" Haoran stared blankly at the dozens of pieces of silverware in front of him. Although these things can still be sold for a few dollars at the moment, there is no doubt that when everyone's level and equipment are up,
I'm afraid it will be the product that is thrown into the street and no one cares about it. He can foresee that this day is not far away.
Isn't it a 50% success rate? Haoran gritted his teeth and thought: For the hope of the future, and for the day when I can synthesize a magical weapon freely, I will fight!
He counted and found that he had synthesized a total of 44 pieces of silverware and three pieces of bronze this time. These pieces of equipment could be used by him to synthesize level 11 gold items.
Go for it! Haoran stretched out his hand, picked up four pieces of silverware, and finally made his first trial.
A burst of golden light emerged from the palm of his hand and poured directly into the four pieces of silver equipment.
"GM, let me succeed. I'll treat your family to a hot pot later!" Haoran was anxious in his heart, but he was mumbling something.
Unfortunately, none of the gm family seems to be interested in the hot pot. The golden light flashed a few times, but then it became silent.
"Ding, the player is crazy, the synthesis failed, and the four lower-level equipment have been completely damaged." The system reported the results without emotion.
Woohoo, my equipment, my RMB... Haoran's heart seemed to be bleeding. However, despite the failure, his proficiency still jumped up by two points, which was enough to equal the result of synthesizing 20 pieces of silverware.
"GM, let me succeed. I will definitely give you melatonin during the Chinese New Year this year!" Haoran grabbed four more pieces of equipment and muttered something while synthesizing them.
"Ding, the player is madly born, the synthesis failed, and the four lower-level equipment have been completely damaged." Obviously the superior GM was not moved by Melatonin.
"Damn it, damn GM, if you keep swallowing my equipment, I'll be careful to post photos of you all over the street for marriage!" Haoran cursed angrily and grabbed four more pieces of silverware.
