Lu Yao had experience in making magic potions, and the [Omnipotent Stone] was better operated than the Crucible, and didn’t require any other ingredients.
It only provided Faith Crop Fuel, just burn the stone.
Lu Yao clicked on the [Omnipotence Stone], and a [Casting (10 Faith)] icon surfaced above it.
Continue to select the icon.
After Faith -10, a large stand-up drawing of the Omnipotence Stone surfaced on the screen.
A stone with a starry lustre became soft and twisted under the pale flames.
[Casting Failure].
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was true.
In the description of the Omnipotence Stone, the phrase “with a certain probability” was the problem. The situation where the price tag is not transparent is usually because the real price is too …… high.
It’s like the squid whiskers in Cao X Duck Neck.
Most cold dishes marinades, say how much it costs per catty, Cao X’s squid whiskers are marked up to about 27. Not often buy people are not easy to notice, squid whiskers price tag behind the unit is 100 grams, calculated a catty real price is 138.
Merchants play such a small trick, is because he himself knows that the price is outrageous, directly out will dissuade many wage earners. Consumers pay when it dawns on them that they have been duped!
Some of them would also find it expensive, but they would still bite the bullet and buy it.
The [Omni-Stone] is the same technique used.
Compared to them, gold dice are all considered childish and market conscience.
Casting is a bottomless pit, even more faith can’t stand up to such continuous consumption …… The God of Brightness in the end just made a [Broken Magic Potion Crucible], which is also counted as a victim of the Omnipotent Stone scam.
Lu Yao thought.
If you can find a prop that raises the probability of forging, or if any of your men have a bonus ability like casting and smelting, then you can consider trying it again. He had quite a few props in his hand nowadays, so he wasn’t lacking.
Strengthening this ability was worth a try.
Unsure if failure would result in damage to the props, Lu Yao first looked for a test subject.
[Refinement (10 Faith)
Lu Yao clicked on the icon and a box instantly appeared on the screen.
[Please put in the treasure that needs to be refined.]]
Lu Yao threw the Magic Potion Crucible in.
On the screen, the crucible was wrapped up in the Flame of Faith.
A moment later.
[Refining Failed].
The failure was expected.
The good news was that refining failure had no negative effects and did not destroy the prop itself.
By this time, Isabelle had already led the people to dig and develop further in the pit. They were producing output one after another, and the [Omnipotence Stone] number in the upper left corner was slowly rising.
Lu Yao used a second and third Omnipotence Stone.
The failures continued.
It wasn’t until after the nineteenth time that the situation finally changed.
[Refinement Success].
A brand new stand-up picture appeared on the screen.
The picture was of a crystal-clear stone mantle.
……
【Magic Pill Crucible LV1】: +1/hour of faith, heated using the fire of faith, can refine unstable magic pills.
[Magic Pill Recipe].
Pill of Madness: add a spoonful of sand, a spoonful of blood, a spoonful of salt, and a spoonful of rotting corpse.
Pill Effect: Gain the [Madness] trait, +1 damage, -2 defence.
……
The Madness Pill did indeed have attribute effects, it was just that the crucible was previously broken and not enough to display this information.
Lu Yao was quite satisfied with the results of this experiment.
The purpose was achieved.
If there were sufficient reserves of Omnipotence Stones, it would be possible to gradually try to strengthen some props that hadn’t been graded yet.
For example, [Energy Cane], [Magical Harpoon], [Drifting Letterhead], [Sobbing Amber].
Lu Yao decided to temporarily move the Cave Monster clan from his tribe over. They were good at digging and were just right for mining.
The Spotted Lynx also continued to stay on the island, continuing to reduce the size of the Mad Lemmings group to avoid them threatening the entire island’s ecological chain again.
……
In the company, Peng hadn’t come to work for two days.
Boss Huang, who has always been unable to see people take leave, turned a blind eye to this.
Lu Yao was slightly puzzled by this. He had called Sister Peng before and asked for some advice on her work, and Sister Peng had behaved normally, only that she didn’t talk about why she didn’t come to work.
The other party didn’t say anything, so Lu Yao knowingly didn’t ask.
At noon, Boss Huang found Lu Yao.
“Little Lu, you go to Peng Xiaoyi’s place later and bring this to her.”
Boss Huang handed him a handbag containing a box of Goodwill cheesecake.
“She lives at 305 Century City II on Luogu Lane, so you can just go there directly. Get off work early today.”
The boss gave the word, so Lu Yao left the company early and transferred all the way to Century City.
Sister Peng wasn’t surprised to see Lu Yao when she opened the door.
“Old Huang sent you?”
“Mm.”
Lu Yao handed her the snacks, “Sister Peng, I’ll leave first then.”
He was still missing the simulator in his heart.
“What’s the point of leaving, eat together. I’ve been on a diet recently, I can’t eat.”
Sister Peng waved her hand and said very naturally, “Come in, why are you standing?”
Lu Yao had a feeling that the other party really treated him as a younger brother.
The two of them ate snacks with fruit juice.
Sister Peng wiped her mouth with a tissue, “You go back and tell Old Huang not to worry, I’m not jumping ship. It’s true that I’ve been unwell for the past two days, I went to the city’s second hospital and I’m still waiting for a review.”
Lu Yao nodded and said he remembered.
“What about that little girl from last time, Isabel?”
Sister Peng sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked with interest, “Has she come back yet? Didn’t really run away, did she?”
Lu Yao could only say, “She’s still at home.”
“Don’t. But don’t.”
Sister Peng said with a serious face, “As a person who has been there, it is necessary to tell you some life lessons.”
“Long-distance relationships, especially long-distance relationships, the risk of something happening is too great. A little bit of inattention, both sides one day lonely, drink a little wine, or hear a few sweet words, a soft heart may wipe the gun away.”
“People can’t stand the temptation.”
“With Isabel’s looks and temperament, is it possible that no one would chase after her? If I were a man, I would definitely surround her all day long and not stop until I got a marriage licence.”
“Why don’t you have any sense of crisis? Are you stupid?”
“……”
Lu Yao smiled awkwardly.
He had reason to suspect that Sister Peng had left herself to eat sweets just to gossip about Isabel.
Just as Lu Yao was about to find an excuse to withdraw, a knock came from outside.
Sister Peng went over to take a look, opened the door and said, “Why are you running here at this time? Eh, who is this?”
The other party said, “Sister Xiaoyi, you’re sick and living alone, so I, as a cousin, took it upon myself to come over and take a look. It’s definitely not convenient for my dad to come over.”
Lu Yao followed the voice and glanced at the door.
This glancing, he found that the person coming was actually known to him, it was none other than Boss Huang’s daughter, Amy.
Slow down.
Amy called herself a cousin to Sister Peng?
It turned out that Sister Peng was also a relation! Hiding is too deep.
Lu Yao was shocked.
No wonder Boss Huang always asks him to run errands. The company was full of connected people, and whoever the boss called could be discussed and speculated by the others. Instead, it was himself, a rash outsider, who was the most suitable for the role.
Lu Yao noticed that there was another girl standing beside Amy.
She wore a colourful striped jumper, short silver-grey hair, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. She looked to be around twenty years old and had that bright and delicate look that was unique to young girls, making it hard to take one’s eyes off of her.
It was actually Song Shiyi.
Why was she here? Could it be that she had checked all the way over for Fu Chenggang’s matter?
Lu Yao suddenly panicked a little.
He hurriedly ate another piece of dim sum to suppress his shock.
Fortunately, the cake was quite tasty.
