In the following days, I lived a busy and fulfilling life.
Yes, busy! Fulfillment! !
In the thirty-six pages of Mr. Edgware's scattered notes, a total of eighteen methods for making magic crystals of different levels are recorded. Of course, there are many of them, such as the "Stone of Life with Earth Element", which are of far greater scientific research significance than practical use. Although it is a low-level product, it also records the formula and process of high-level magic crystals such as "Aguna's Magic Stone Eye".
For a long time, I locked myself in that small laboratory, plunged into the vast and profound world of science, struggled endlessly with experimental equipment, formula raw materials and production processes, and brought my friends, My mission, my adventure and
With that warm and lovely bakery and that bright face filled with the afterglow of the sunset, the door is closed together.
Looking back, I can no longer remember how many magic crystals I made with my own hands during those days. One thousand yuan? Two thousand yuan? Five thousand yuan? Or more?
I have no idea!
Maybe in your opinion, it is enough for a craftsman to produce thousands of magic crystals in just a few days, but for me, this number is far from enough, and it will never be enough!
These shining stones, these exquisite ornaments, these sources of magic that help you in battle, how beautiful and magical are they? I once marveled at their wonder and was intoxicated by the omnipresent magic of the Creator.
But now, I can only fill this narrow room with their bulky shapes, but they can never fill the emptiness in my heart and nourish the dryness of my soul. I just exchange all the money I have into raw materials every day, turn all the raw materials into magic crystals, and then exchange all the magic crystals into money, letting this pale and busy cycle occupy my life all the time. all the time.
I¡¯m afraid to stop. I don¡¯t know how to stop, and I don¡¯t dare to think about what I have to do after I stop.
I even hate my strong energy and hate myself for being so tireless and never tired. You don¡¯t know how many times I have been jealous of those tired-looking space travelers. No matter what happens, they will feel tired and trapped every once in a while, and then abandon everything and return to their world to pursue an endless journey. Resistible sleep.
I don¡¯t know what kind of state it is, but I guess it should be a deathly wonderful and peaceful feeling. After falling asleep, you may temporarily forget something, or maybe something will be forgotten forever in your sleep. You may even forget yourself in your sleep-even a moment of forgetfulness is good.
Now I know that our life is not only a different journey, it is also our baggage and package, and the burden of our soul. If we keep everything in mind and never give up anything, perhaps one day we ourselves will be unable to support this long-term accumulated burden until we are overwhelmed, crushed, and crushed to death by it!
So I feel that perhaps life is meant to be about forgetting and discarding something, whether it is sweet or bitter, beautiful or ugly, happy or painful Forget some, throw away some, By lightening the burden on our hearts, our weak souls will have enough strength to support us through this journey of unknown destination.
Yes, I want to forget, even for a moment
Although this is a busy and numb time, it has really improved my alchemy level. Unknowingly, my alchemy has reached level fifty-seven - if it weren't for the fact that the level of life skills can only be three levels higher than the combat level at most, I think it can go higher.
If I were just a lonely traveler, no matter how hard I worked, it would take hundreds of times more time and energy to reach this level. In fact, when I was trying to make the level 48 "Stardust of the Azure Sea", the required ingredients could no longer be obtained from the auction house - this was mainly because some materials had very few origins and it was difficult to truly understand There are not many high-level alchemists who use them, so many people don't know that these things still have auction value.
At this time, our guild reflected the powerful value of an organizational structure: I sent a message to the president Fei Yin, briefly explaining the progress and needs of my alchemy. Our president immediately sensed the huge potential benefits from it. She quickly arranged for manpower to make a special trip to collect those special ingredients that were hard to find in the auction house for my use. She also asked me to provide them to all my partners in the guild. The required magic crystals, and the remaining high-level magic crystals will be handed over to the guild for part of the profits after the auction.Soon, many rare and in-demand special raw materials were mailed to my hands. Those relatively high-level guys even sent some of them that I still use temporarily in order to allow me to master the production methods of higher-level magic crystals as soon as possible. A lot of unused raw materials were also collected in advance.
After that, Fei Yin sent me the types and quantities of magic crystals that the guild members needed, and I also handed over all the magic crystals produced to Fei Yin for processing.
In fact, the use of magic crystals is not just an accessory as we are accustomed to know. As the levels of various other life-related professional skills increase, the uses of magic crystals have become more and more extensive. For example, in the hands of a high-level weapon maker, after an ordinary weapon is modified with magic crystals, its attributes will often be greatly improved, and the level of the weapon itself will even be directly improved.
However, since a weapon can only be modified with one magic crystal, and the level of the magic crystal cannot exceed the level ten of the weapon itself, and this kind of modification carries a high risk of failure, so generally speaking, few people A low-level weapon will be kept for a long time, and at the same time, it will be modified with a high-level magic crystal whose value is much higher than the weapon itself at the risk of waste.
At the same time, an unexpected surprise is: Our Elf Druid girl who "landed on her face as a fairy" is also a "gem setter" who has just been promoted to a high level. This profession can only use magic crystals in the primary stage. The various gemstones inside are inlaid on the protective gear that originally had inlay slots to increase the various attributes of the equipment. But when the inlay level reaches level 45, you will learn the "drilling" skill to create new slots on equipment that originally did not have inlay slots. Similar to weapon modification, inlaying skills also have many similar restrictions, and if the inlay master is not highly proficient, the higher the possibility of failure in inlaying gems, the greater the possibility. And every failure means that you will Loss of an expensive gemstone.
It is precisely because of these harsh conditions that the life professional skills of our weapon maker who shoots the sun with a long bow and the gem setter who lands on his face have not been upgraded for a long time.
When the two of them proposed using these magic crystals to upgrade their skills and upgrade weapons and equipment for their guild partners, the guild president Fei Yin made a special trip to ask for my opinion. She told me frankly that these two guys with unfamiliar skills would definitely waste a lot of magic crystals during the upgrade process. In fact, this is no different from burning a lot of money, and in the piles of gold coins they squandered , at least one third should belong to me.
She told me that I had the right to object and that no one would be dissatisfied. This loss should have been borne by the guild, and I shouldn't have to make the sacrifice alone - not to mention it was such an expensive sacrifice.
I have no objection.
I gave them all the magic crystals I had accumulated in my hands, and told them that as long as the guild could still guarantee the supply of raw materials, every magic crystal I made could be given to them for any use - this was much higher than theirs. expectations. Originally, the two of them just hoped that I could provide some mid- to low-level magic crystals to help them improve their skill proficiency. But now, hundreds of high-level magic crystals over level 50 are too luxurious compared to their meager wishes.
Even Fei Yin felt that my losses were too great. She repeatedly discouraged me from doing so, and even seriously considered giving up the post of president to me to compensate for my losses. Can you do this? The worst idea imaginable and of course I rejected it on the spot.
They don¡¯t understand that I never thought about getting anything from these magic crystals from the beginning. They are just tools, tools for me to relieve loneliness and fill up my time. I simply don't care what they are used for and how much is wasted. If these stones that are meaningless to me can be of any use to my friends, it will be just some additional gains; on the contrary, if I are allowed to make them and then sell them casually, then it will be just some additional gains. It's a real waste.
Although this was completely unnecessary, Longbow Shooting the Sun and Fairy Descending to Earth expressed their gratitude to me in their own way. The heroic dwarf priest inlaid a fifty-five magic crystal "Electrical Stone of Touch" on my long sword "Rattlesnake's Wind-Splitting Blade". That long sword was originally a weapon I replaced when I was over level 40. Apart from increasing some attack speed and adding some poisonous damage, it didn¡¯t have much to commend it. For me now, it¡¯s already very difficult. It meets my usage needs. If nothing else happened, I should have replaced it at level fifty-five and switched to a new weapon whose level and lethality were more in line with my current level requirements.
However, after the transformation of Longbow Shooting Sun, this originally not very outstanding weapon has undergone radical changes: compared with the original, the blade of this sword is a bit wider and longer. Magic crystal quiltPenetrating into the front end of the long sword's handle, a layer of light cyan electric light is constantly flowing on the surface of the magic crystal. From time to time, one or two shining sparks burst out with the sound of "Zizzi lala". Originally, The faintly green blade now revealed a layer of cyan light, and a layer of electric force field appeared around the blade. It looked as if it contained an unstable and dangerous energy, ready to suddenly appear at any time. It seemed like it was exploding.
After transformation, its name has become "Blue Thunder Snake Tooth Blade", and its attack power has suddenly increased to 320 points, with an additional 15 points of poison attribute damage per second, while retaining what I valued most before. Attack speed bonus. In addition, the "Electric Stone of Shock" infuses the long sword with lightning power. When attacking, there is a 5% chance of triggering a lightning strike effect, which can cause 50 points of lightning damage. At the same time, Puts the opponent into a state of paralysis for three seconds.
Although I am at the lowest point of my life, I still can¡¯t help but admire this work of shooting the sun with a long bow. You must know that this sword combines the three functions of attack power, attack speed and controlling the opponent's movements. Even compared with any level 60 melee weapon, it is not inferior in the slightest. As a level 54 warrior, it is a luxury to be able to hold such a weapon when facing the enemy.
From another perspective, this ¡°luxury¡± is simply well-deserved. You know, Longbow Shooting Sun spent a total of nine pieces of the highest-level magic crystal that I can create¡ªperhaps the one you can find in this world right now¡ªbefore he finally succeeded in the experiment. once. And the price of every piece of magic crystal he wasted on the market is enough to buy a level 60 high-quality weapon, which is more than enough.
And due to the alchemy requirements for making magic crystals, I sometimes had to go to the city wall myself to kill a few hens to collect some chicken feathers as alchemy potions.
A fifty-fourth-level war warrior, wielding a long sword worth nearly 20,000 gold coins, was killing chickens and plucking their feathers by the city wall - this was really too luxurious!
At the same time, Longbow Shooting Sun also installed a level 44 magic crystal "Arcane Earth Cube" on my heavy shield "Solid Wall of Sighs". If this unattractive earth-yellow magic crystal is used as a magic accessory, it can only increase the physical defense by 60 points, which is basically useless. However, when used to transform a shield, it not only improves the physical defense by 100 points and 40 points. The magical defense greatly improves the sturdiness of the shield, making it stronger and more durable.
The skillful elf druid fairy came down to earth and re-improved my armor: she embedded a piece of "Wind Sound Crystal" on my helmet, which increased my dodge probability by 10%. An "Earth Essence Rock" was embedded in the armor, which increased my physical defense and magic defense by 150 points and 70 points respectively. Originally, she wanted to re-insert my arm guards, but I was worried that the boxing gloves hidden under the arm guards would be exposed, so I refused her.
It¡¯s not just that my equipment has been improved. In fact, with the joint efforts of everyone, our entire guild has fallen into a joyful atmosphere of collective outfit change. Every day, many people send me all kinds of raw materials from all corners of this continent. When I turn them into magic crystals, they will shoot the sun with a long bow and turn into weapons and magic crystals in the hands of fairies. Part of the armor equipment was back in their hands. Even for a small guild like ours with less than thirty people, this is a huge project that you can hardly imagine - you know, I don't succeed in turning raw materials into magic crystals every time, I alchemy The chance of success in a technical test is only about half, and the more advanced the test, the greater the chance of failure; and as far as I know, our weapon makers and gem setters seem to have a higher chance of success than me. Lower. For this reason, President Fei Yin is very sad about our success rate.
Even so, after we auctioned off the remaining magic crystals, I still received more than 5,000 gold coins.
Although I once hoped that this busy life could continue forever, so that the pain of my soul could be numbed by the repetitive labor of the body, but after all, my fellow spacewalkers cannot be as tireless as I am. Toil in the world. Finally one day, the life skills of Longbow Shooting the Sun and Fairy Descended to Earth were temporarily raised to the top. At the same time, the equipment of most people in the guild was also significantly improved. Everyone ended their long-term hard work, wore brand-new armor, held shining weapons, and embarked on a new adventure.
I am the only one who has declined all adventure invitations from my partners. I am alone, hiding in my alchemy laboratory, busy blindly, desperately trying to do something, but not knowing what I can do or what I should do. Something.
In the past, I always felt that this house was too narrow for a bed, a chair, and a table.It was so crowded that it was impossible to turn around.
But now, I feel that this house is too big, and it makes me panic. Except for me, a scratchy thing called "loneliness" filled the whole room, making me feel that everything here became empty and I couldn't find a place to live.
I tried to drive it away, but fell into its deeper entanglement. There are some things that I desperately want to forget and escape from that are unstoppably creeping into my mind, making me unable to stop thinking about them. The more I tried to get away from this thought, the closer it came to me and held me tight.
I knew I couldn't just stay alone and let this feeling of despair crush me. But I also know very well that I can't get any help from my fellow spacefarers on this matter. I need someone who can understand all of this. I don't even need him to say anything, he just needs to be able to listen to me quietly.
I happen to know that such a person exists in this world, and I know where to look for him. Coincidentally, I have an agreement to meet him again.
¡°Finding it all, it¡¯s time for me to fulfill this promise
