#381 - Chapter 381 Preparation for Synthesis
The next day, at the Synthesis Hall.
“I wonder how much stronger the umbrella sword will become after using the Advanced Enhancement Stone on it.”
Yesterday, after synthesizing the Advanced Enhancement Stone, Qi Jing spent an afternoon drawing prizes, but he hardly got anything useful and didn't level up to Tier 3.
But this didn't affect his plan—to come to the Synthesis Hall for synthesis.
“Grandpa Gou, when will Grandpa Mo arrive?”
“It shouldn't be too long, there's just a small problem in the eastern sea area.”
The spacious Synthesis Hall was currently occupied only by Gou Dehao. Mo Wang, who usually drank with him, had gone to deal with an anomaly, so Qi Jing could only wait here for him to return before starting the synthesis.
Gou Dehao took a sip of his small wine and revealed a mysterious expression:
“Little Qi, have you heard? That Goblin Plain you went to yesterday has great development value, attracting many explorers to dig for treasure. It's very popular.”
“I know, we have that news in our game group too.”
Last night, just as he was about to sleep, Yan Di finally replied to Qi Jing, and he also discovered that kind of stone that could evolve creatures, and there was more than one.
When Qi Jing told him the names and functions of these Evolution Stones, Yan Di was shocked.
They really didn't expect that those tall goblins and fat goblins were evolved using this Evolution Stone; they thought they were just different species.
If Qi Jing hadn't told him, he would have named the Great Goblin 'Green Goblin' and the Goblin Tyrant 'Ogre'.
But after learning the function of this Evolution Stone, Yan Di understood many strange things.
Why the small goblins listened to the Great Goblin, and why there was a Goblin Tyrant in every goblin tribe.
Most importantly, there were other alien beasts with this kind of evolutionary structure.
After a whole day of exploration, he summarized two such groups:
Forest Wolf, Great Forest Wolf, Gale Forest Wolf.
Small Horned Deer, Great Horned Deer, Big Spotted Horned Deer.
To be honest, when Qi Jing saw Yan Di's naming, he couldn't hold back. Shouldn't we at least be cultured people? Isn't it a bit disrespectful to the nine years of compulsory education to come up with such low names?
But names don't matter. Yan Di had an even bigger discovery: these Evolution Stones could replenish his source power!
That's right, the Evolution Stone could do what even Source Stones couldn't.
Normally, source power entering the human body could only be used for source power cultivation methods and individual abilities, but the power contained in the Evolution Stone could be directly absorbed by the human body, which was outrageous.
Although the absorption efficiency wasn't very high, it was enough to drive the explorers crazy, and they all went to the Goblin Plain to find Evolution Stones.
“Little Qi, this kind of thing is better sooner than later. The earlier you go, the more benefits you'll get.”
Hearing Gou Dehao's advice, Qi Jing raised his eyebrows and said slyly:
“Grandpa Gou, I went last night and destroyed several goblin nests, getting more than a dozen Evolution Stones.”
“Good lad, you're pretty fast.”
Just kidding, as one of the first people to know this news, how could Qi Jing let go of the benefits at hand?
Last night, he spent the entire night searching for goblin lairs in the forest. He used the Goblin Token to have any goblin point out the location of their Great King, which was very fast.
Although more and more people came at night, all of them combined weren't as fast as Qi Jing.
In the end, Qi Jing estimated that he had pocketed all the Evolution Stones of the goblins in the area near the teleporter.
He said to Gou Dehao:
“When synthesizing later, I'll put an Evolution Stone in to see if I can synthesize anything good.”
Who would have thought that while other teams were still struggling to find them, Qi Jing was already using them as synthesis materials.
If those explorers who went out in the middle of the night knew that the Evolution Stones they worked so hard to find in several caves were being used like this by Qi Jing, they would definitely be jealous to death.
This was a treasure that could directly restore source power, and he was gambling with it like this?
“So, that's why your little girlfriend didn't come with you?”
“Yeah, she'll be here soon.”
For the sake of speed, he didn't bring Tan Zuoyin last night, so she went back home to sleep.
Anyway, with the teleporter set up, getting here only required passing through Yuan Island and part of Bixiao City Avenue, which was very fast.
Just as Qi Jing was putting his synthesis materials on the ground, a familiar voice came from outside the Synthesis Hall.
“Grandpa Mo, good morning.”
“Good.”
It was Zha Yin and Grandpa Mo Wang! They came together.
Qi Jing looked up at the door and saw them walking in one after the other.
“Grandpa Mo, Zha Yin, good morning.”
“Yeah.” Mo Wang was still as taciturn as ever.
Tan Zuoyin then took out a lunch box:
“Fang Sheng, I brought you breakfast.”
Qi Jing had a shocked expression: “Wow, how did you know I didn't have breakfast?”
“You lazy bum, it'd be a miracle if you ate.” Tan Zuoyin handed him the lunch box and rolled her eyes at him.
This guy's expression was a bit too exaggerated.
“Grandpa Gou, Grandpa Mo, have you eaten?”
Gou Dehao smiled: “Our lives are more regular than you young people's. We ate long ago.”
They had developed the habit of getting up early and eating when they were young. They would wake up naturally before dawn, and they couldn't sleep any longer even if they wanted to.
Mo Wang pointed to the pile of items on the ground and said, “Are you ready to synthesize? Is it these things?”
Gou Dehao tapped his wine pot: “Let Little Qi eat first, what's the rush.”
“Oh, let's eat first.”
Mo Wang originally wanted to save time, but after Gou Dehao's reminder, it seemed that eating first was indeed better.
Although Qi Jing knew that Mo Wang didn't mean to rush him, he still sped up his eating.
One minute later.
“Grandpa Mo, I'm ready.”
“These are the first things you want to synthesize, right?”
“Yeah.”
Qi Jing nodded.
He had already placed a pile of items in front of him, all carefully selected by him, and only one batch.
Because Grandpa Mo Wang had said that although synthesis through his hands would greatly increase the success rate, it would also cost a large amount of source power depending on the quality of the synthesized items, so Qi Jing took out the most important things first.
Umbrella Sword, Sky Piercing Sword, Alligator Meow Hammer, Endless Battle Blade, Azure-Purple Treasure Sword, Overlord Steel Blade, Silent Fruit, Sun Wheel Blade - Love Pillar, Evolution Stone......
Actually, Qi Jing wanted to add more, but the more he added, the greater the chance of failure and the more attributes he would lose, so this amount was just right.
But it was already very sufficient, mainly because there was a very awesome "Azure-Purple Treasure Sword" inside.
Qi Jing had already asked Mo Wang if "Indestructible" could be synthesized, and the answer he got was that anything could be synthesized as long as he paid enough price.
So Qi Jing added it.
Oh right, there was also part of the Gem Monster's corpse, which could add a gem slot. He couldn't forget that.
The biggest synthesis of his life, ready to go!
