Chapter 592 Promotion and Synthesis
[You leave the Sky City and step into a dense forest in the north. ]
[The bone dragon follows you and flies low over the dense forest...]
[Two roads appear in front of you. One is the dirt road leading to the front, which is covered with dense footprints of fools. Obviously, many people have passed by here. The other is the narrow path between the bushes on the left, which is winding and seems to lead to the depths of the dense forest. You choose to go...]
[Broad Avenue], [Winding Path].
Mu You directly chose the winding path because there were too many players walking on the main road. Even if there were any opportunities, they would have been snatched up long ago.
Of course, there will be many people on the small path, but the flow of people on the main road is definitely not of the same order of magnitude.
The development of this new map is to divert, constantly divert, and explore the most dangerous places. The fewer players around, the higher the probability of being able to snatch good things.
[You walked into the winding path. 】
【You took out the fog-breaking mirror and looked into the depths of the dense forest...】
The visible range of other players is only about 30 to 50 meters. Even if the team moves, it cannot expand this visible range too much.
Mu You is different. With the fog-breaking mirror, his exploration range can theoretically reach 10,000 meters!
Of course, the premise is that it is in an open area such as the seaside plain. After all, the fog-breaking mirror can only break the fog, but cannot see through. When encountering a place full of obstacles, the effect of the fog-breaking mirror will be greatly reduced.
What about now?
Unfortunately, it is located between a mountain and a dense forest. Looking out through the fog-breaking mirror, you can only see a few hundred meters ahead, and then the view will be blocked by the layers of dense forests.
【Through the fog-breaking mirror, you vaguely see a spider monster hanging upside down on the top of a giant tree 300 meters in front of you, quietly sliding down along the spider web. ]
[And a team of Fools below is carefully alert to the surrounding fog, but they are unaware of the danger from above, and are about to die in the spider's mouth...]
[You choose...]
[You call the bone dragon to help immediately! ]
[Unfortunately, you are a step too late. ]
[Before you arrive at the battlefield, the screams of the Fools have been heard in the fog ahead. ]
[Soon, you and the bone dragon broke through the fog and came to the vicinity of the spider's nest. ]
[On the bloody ground ahead, four of the original five-member team have died, three of whom are entangled in thick spider webs, and their bodies are dyed green by venom. The giant spider monster is gnawing on the body of a Fool, and only one man is still fleeing. ]
[Seeing your figure, the man is like seeing a savior, and hurriedly calls for help from you and runs towards you. ]
[Unfortunately, before he could get close to you, he was entangled in his ankle by a spider silk flying from behind, and was pulled back to the giant spider, swallowed by it, and died...]
[At the same time, the information of the giant spider in front appeared in the omniscient crystal.]
[Venomous Velvet Spider (5 stars): A highly poisonous spider creature living in the dense forest, using fangs and spider webs as weapons, moving quickly and silently, with a habit of sneak attacks, and a strong sense of territory. God's power 35, God's defense 20, real life: 3550. Abilities: real creature, spider web binding, fang corrosion, spider jump...]
5 stars, no wonder...
Mu You raised his eyebrows. At this stage, players generally only have 1 to 2 stars. Even if the team cooperates, fighting against 3-star monsters is already the best. If you encounter a 4-star creature, you have to run away. If you encounter a 5-star creature, you don’t even have a chance to escape. It’s basically a group annihilation.
Of course, this is only for ordinary players. For elite players with god skins, there is another set of judgment system.
[The poisonous velvet spider discovered you and the bone dragon and screamed at you, but did not attack you immediately. It seemed to have realized that you were not easy to mess with and was hesitating whether to retreat...]
[At this time, the bodies of the several fools it had just caught turned into streams of light and dissipated. Seeing the prey disappearing out of thin air, the poisonous velvet spider was furious, thinking that you had stolen its spoils, and suddenly jumped towards you, spitting out two balls of spider silk in mid-air, covering you and the bone dragon respectively, sticking you in place, unable to move.]
[You activated the "Silent Field", and the barrier that blocked the divine art spread out, and the two balls of spider silk dissipated immediately...]
[The bone dragon was furious and took the initiative to rush towards the poisonous spider...]
[...After a fierce battle, you and the bone dragon successfully killed the poisonous velvet spider. 】
[Your Silent God Bone Fusion Progress has increased by 0.02%...】
The current star rating of the Bone Dragon is still at 4 stars, and Mu You is only 2 stars, but he has a God Skin and the title of God Slayer, so his actual combat power is completely comparable to that of a 5-star creature.
With the cooperation of the Bone Dragon, it is not a problem to kill a 5-star creature without injury.
It is a pity that the Black Angel Armor cannot be used far away from the Sky City at present, because the magic rules have not yet penetrated, and the magic produced from his body will quickly spread out, making it difficult to transmit to the Mechanical Heart. Without energy, it is naturally impossible to activate the armor.
Mu You tried before, and the "energy" of the divine art can also activate the armor, but the consumption is huge, and basically one or two minutes will drain his energy, so it is better to keep it for the divine art.
Mu You estimated that the mechanic should have an energy device specifically used in the high sky world to power this set of armor, just like Iron Man's ARC reactor, but it was not left in the Star Spirit World, and it is very likely to be taken away by the mechanic together with the two lost sets of armor.
Shaking his head, Mu You controlled the character to go forward and collect the spoils.
[You condensed the corpse of the poisonous velvet spider and obtained 81 divine crystals, 1 spider web gland, and 1 rare material ‘poisonous velvet tooth’. ]
[Title Miser activated: You extracted 8 additional divine crystals from the dried corpse of the poisonous velvet spider! ]
A 5-star creature can normally condense about 80 points of divinity. Relying on the title of Miser, a few extra crystals were extracted. It seems to be a small amount, but it will be a considerable income over time.
Back to the point, after getting the divinity, Mu You gave 40 points to the bone dragon on the spot. After all, the bone dragon is not his pet, and the two are in a semi-master-servant and semi-cooperative relationship.
According to their agreement, in theory, the bone dragon can abandon him after coming to the high sky world, but the bone dragon feels his life-saving grace and decides to continue to follow him for a while. Then Mu You can't treat him badly. After each battle, the spoils will be distributed according to the effort.
The same is true for the Scorpion Lion next door.
After collecting the spoils, Mu You extracted the two materials he had just obtained and was about to continue on his way. As a result, at this time, he suddenly felt a weak fluctuation coming from something in the ring.
Mu You searched for it and quickly confirmed that the fluctuation came from the synthesis furnace.
This cauldron furnace had never shown any effect in the Brave Tower before. He thought it would not be used in the High Sky World. Unexpectedly, now that two materials from the real world were obtained, the furnace actually produced fluctuations.
Mu You's heart moved, and he hurriedly put the two spider materials he had just obtained into the furnace.
Unfortunately, the furnace did not move, and no new information was presented in the omniscient crystal.
Guessed wrong?
Mu You frowned, thought about it, and simply sent the synthesis furnace into the game, assembled it, and sent the two materials into the game.
[You removed the Wind Kirin Arm and assembled the synthesis furnace. ]
[Rare materials detected, new formula found! ]
[Poisonous Velvet Fang*6, synthesize "Poison Blade". 】
[Poison Blade + Real Materials*5, Probability to Upgrade Poison Blade, the better the compatibility between the input materials and the Poison Blade, the higher the upgrade probability. 】
Sure enough, it can only be displayed in the real world!
Mu You's eyes lit up, and he was also a little annoyed.
He had doubted before. The synthesis furnace was a hidden relic after all, and it was at the same level as the All-Knowing Crystal and the Evolution Scepter. Obviously, other relics had more or less played a role in the real world, but this thing was silent.
Mu You once suspected that it was because the furnace had been damaged that it could not be used in the real world. Now he understands that it is necessary to be in the real world and equip it in the prop column to use it.
Being able to synthesize materials into finished products and continue to upgrade the finished products, in this way, all the various real materials obtained at ordinary times can be used. This is very useful!
Coming to his senses, Mu You hurriedly tried to put other relics and materials into the synthesis furnace again.
Unfortunately, all relics will not prompt the recipe, and ordinary materials will uniformly display a fixed recipe: [Same material*6, synthesize a higher level of the same material. ]
"So only rare materials can produce finished product recipes?" Mu You thought.
In any case, the only finished product recipe prompted now requires six spider fangs to make, so we can only continue to hunt spiders.
Mu You called the bone dragon to set off and continue wandering in this forest.
In the next two days, the poisonous velvet spiders in this forest were in trouble. Originally, with their star rating, they should be at the top of the food chain in this dense forest. For the new group of players who have poured in these days, they are only regarded as desserts after meals, occasionally hunting one or two to taste the freshness, and ants are meat no matter how small they are.
Who would have thought that among this group of "ants", there were actually two evil stars, not only crushing them with strength, but also deliberately looking for trouble with them.
In just two days, the poisonous velvet spider nests on the periphery of this dense forest were almost touched by one person and one dragon. The spiders that survived by chance hid deeply in the depths of the dense forest and dared not show their heads again.
[…You condensed the corpse of the poisonous velvet spider and obtained 82 divine crystals, 1 spider web gland, and 1 rare material ‘poisonous velvet fang’…]
Two days later, looking at this prompt in the game, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
Rare materials do not appear stably, and the explosion rate is only about 10-20%, and the number of this kind of spider is rare. During the two days of exploration, he and the bone dragon trampled the outer edge of the forest and only found 28 poisonous spider nests.
Fortunately, ordinary players can’t deal with this star-level creature at present, but no one competes with them. In the end, all 28 spiders were hunted by Mu You, and enough fangs were gathered.
After getting the last fang, Mu You immediately threw all the fangs into the synthesis furnace.
[You put six poisonous velvet teeth into the furnace and activated the synthesis furnace. ]
[Synthesis in progress, expected to end in 60 minutes…]
Synthesis takes a while, and Mu You took the opportunity to return to Dawn City.
[You appear in front of the statue of order. 】
【You invested 1815 points of divinity into the statue, upgrading the 2-star mainline spell "Single Fight" from LV1 to LV6. 】
【The release cost of "Single Fight" is reduced, the existence time is extended, and the additional ability "Immunity" is unlocked: you can be exempted from the effect of the "Single Fight" rule. 】
After the magic is upgraded to LV6, there will be a qualitative change. The first qualitative change of fighting alone is the rule of self-immunity, which means that he can besiege an enemy with his teammates two-on-one in battle, and neither he nor his teammates will be punished for it.
This additional effect can only be said to be so-so, not a very eye-catching improvement.
And the reason why Mu You specifically upgraded this magic is certainly not because he has too much money, but to upgrade to 3 stars.
[You continue to offer 450 points of divinity to the statue of order, and you are given 450 points of faith by the gods! ]
[Congratulations, due to your pious performance to the God of Order, your faith has been promoted from "Order Fanatic" to "Order Priest", and the current star rating is: 3 stars. God's power +1, God's defense +1, real life +20, equipment bar +1. ]
[Next, you need to continue to be pious and convert all the newly acquired 450 points of faith into "Order Faith" before you can continue to gain faith from the statue.
Current conversion speed: 5 points per day, expected to be completed in 150 days (conversion can be accelerated by hunting beasts of the same star level)]
In the simulation of the Tower of Heroes, players only need to invest divinity in the statue, and after getting enough faith, they can immediately upgrade the star without any additional conditions.
However, that is just a simplified simulation after all, and it is not that simple in reality.
In reality, if players want to upgrade the star, in addition to paying enough divinity to the gods, they also need to meet two conditions.
First, the faith needs to be fully converted into the faith of the corresponding system. For example, the 450 points of faith he just obtained from upgrading to 3 stars need to be converted into order faith at a rate of 5 points per day before continuing to upgrade to 4 stars.
If this process is not accelerated, it will take a full five months!
This is just 3 stars to 4 stars. When it comes to upgrading from 9 stars to 10 stars, 320,000+ divinity is required. At a rate of 5 points per day, it will take more than 64,000 days, or 175 years, to digest it!
For the Gods who have no concept of life span, this time is just a blink of an eye, but for the Fools, this time interval is quite uncomfortable.
There are only a hundred years left in the Great Disaster Era. They don't have time to upgrade slowly, and they must find a way to speed up the process.
And speeding up is not difficult. You just need to keep hunting beasts with star ratings not lower than your own. For example, he is now 3 stars. Every time he kills a 3-star beast, he can immediately convert 4 points of faith. Then he only needs to go out and kill 113 beasts to instantly convert all the faith and come back to upgrade to 4 stars.
If you hunt higher-level monsters, the conversion efficiency will continue to double. For example, hunting a 5-star creature instantly converts 16 points of faith, and hunting a 9-star creature instantly converts 256 points.
Even if the last 9 stars are upgraded to 10 stars, it only takes more than a thousand 9-star creatures to skip the long waiting time and become a god immediately.
Second, before each star upgrade, the main magic of the previous level needs to be upgraded to level 6 or above before the star upgrade can be made. This is also the reason why Mu You specially upgraded "Single Fight" to LV6. This magic seems to have a low usage rate, but it is a genuine main magic.
After two consecutive large expenditures of divinity, Mu You looked at it. At this time, he only had 51 divinity crystals left. Almost all the gains from hunting spiders in the past few days were invested in it.
This made Mu You sigh that divinity really can't make enough money. Two days of hard work were cleared in one minute, and there are still a lot of LV1 magics waiting to be fed...
Just when Mu You was sighing, a prompt popped up in the game, interrupting his thoughts.
[Synthesis completed! You have obtained the rare weapon "Poison Blade". ]
[Poison Blade: When holding it, God's power +5, Agility +20, every time the poison blade pierces the target, it reduces the target's God's defense by 1 point, lasting 10 seconds, which can be stacked. You can continue to upgrade. ]
