Shifeng tapped on the Magic Crystal in his left hand with the Philosopher's Stone in his right hand.
New ·
In the next moment, the Philosopher's Stone released a faint red glow. Following which, the Magic Crystal in Shifeng's left hand disintegrated into dust and scattered across the ground, leaving nothing behind.
Just like that, a Magic Crystal worth 8 Silver disappeared …
In the current God's Domain, 8 Silver Coins was practically the equivalent of an elite party's daily income.
However, Shifeng did not even bat an eyelid. Without hesitation, he picked up a second Magic Crystal from the table and refined it once more.
However, two seconds later, another pile of dust fell to the ground …
After trying over a hundred Magic Crystals in a row, Shifeng had failed to refine a single one. Only then did he stop refining and fall into deep thought.
Could it be that refining doesn't work? Shifeng frowned as he looked at the dust on the ground.
Zero Wing had a relatively small number of members. Hence, they had only accumulated a little over 600 Magic Crystals. If they hadn't obtained a single Mana Stone even after accumulating over 100 Magic Crystals, it would be impossible for them to collect 21 Mana Stones.
No, that's not right. The success rate must be too low. Do I have to increase it? Shifeng clearly remembered that Mana Stones were produced in areas rich in Magic Crystals. However, as current players' levels were too low, they could not travel to these areas. Hence, the only source of Magic Crystals was Dungeon drops.
Mana Stones are the product of highly condensed Magic Crystals. Logically, refining them should not be a problem. Could it be that the Magic Crystal's quality is too low?
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng took out another Magic Crystal and tried refining it.
This time, after Shi Feng clicked Refine, he stared at the Magic Crystal's transformation.
After the first evolution of God's Domain, both forging and alchemy had become much more realistic. Moreover, Shifeng was currently using a virtual gaming cabin, which had a 97% simulation rate. He could easily discern the reason for the Magic Crystal's failure by observing its refinement process.
However, the refinement process was extremely fast. Even with Shifeng's superhuman dynamic vision, the process only lasted for a brief moment.
"System Recording, activate Full Simulation Mode," Shifeng suddenly said.
System: Please wait while the system identifies …
System: Player's port detected as a virtual gaming cabin. Can support Full Simulation Mode.
System: Full simulation mode has been activated.
After the system activated Full Simulation Mode, Shifeng picked up the Magic Crystal and refined it once more. As expected, the crystal turned into a clump of dust. Scattered on the ground.
"System, open the full simulation recording." Shifeng was not surprised by this and immediately spoke.
In the next moment, a 3D hologram appeared before Shifeng's eyes. This was the scene of Shifeng refining Magic Crystals.
Aside from allowing players to experience a 97% virtual reality experience, the virtual gaming cabin could also activate full-simulation mode. This way, the videos players recorded would no longer be flat, but holographic. It could be said to be a miniature representation of reality. This was a function that ordinary virtual reality helmets and advanced virtual reality helmets did not have.
In the past, as long as one was a Master Forger, one would purchase a virtual gaming cabin. The purpose of the cabin was the holographic recording function. The holographic recording function allowed players to recreate their recordings in reality, allowing them to experience things that they couldn't experience through a flat recording. This included the refining process.
Apart from that, its biggest use was to analyze enemies and allies.
He could record the battle with the enemy and use it to study the enemy's battle habits, defense, attack, dodging, and other very detailed movements. This would have a frightening effect when dealing with enemies in the future.
After analyzing the enemy, he could identify the enemy's weaknesses and bad habits. When facing an enemy, he could specifically target these weaknesses and bad habits. Even if his combat power was inferior to his opponent's, he could still defeat his opponent. This was a common occurrence in God's Domain. It was especially true when experts fought each other.
At the same time, he could use the holographic recording to review his own battles and see where he could improve. From time to time, he could find better ways to deal with his enemies. This was one of the best ways for players to improve rapidly.
This was also one of the main reasons why players who used virtual gaming cabins could improve so quickly.
Shifeng had done this kind of self-review countless times in the past, which had allowed him to continuously improve his combat techniques. If he had used the virtual gaming cabin a few years earlier, he would've been even stronger. Unfortunately, Shadow had only spent several million Coins to establish itself. A single virtual gaming cabin cost three million Coins. How could Shadow possibly afford a virtual gaming cabin? Even if it could, it wouldn't have been his turn.
Following which, Shifeng adjusted the holographic recording, slowing down the refining process. This way, he could observe the entire refining process. He wouldn't have to waste Magic Crystals to compete with his own eyesight.
Sure enough, a single Magic Crystal's Mana density is too low. Even if I refine it 10,000 times, I still won't be able to obtain a complete Mana Stone. Shifeng finally discovered the reason behind this phenomenon after observing it for dozens of times.
Although Shifeng had discovered the reason, he couldn't do anything about it. In God's Domain, Magic Crystals were of the same quality. In other words, it was impossible to refine Magic Crystals into Mana Stones …
Shifeng couldn't help but feel troubled by this situation.
If he couldn't refine Magic Crystals, he would have to find another way to refine them.
The only way to do so was to synthesize them. He had to combine the scattered Mana of Magic Crystals into one. Once enough Mana was gathered, it would naturally become a Mana Stone.
However, synthesizing was easier said than done.
Even a Grandmaster Alchemist would find it extremely difficult to synthesize Magic Crystals. The cost of synthesizing Magic Crystals would also far exceed the cost of synthesizing the item. Hence, no one would be willing to make such a loss-making trade.
Shifeng was only a Forging Apprentice. It was even more impossible for him to synthesize Magic Crystals.
The Philosopher's Stone was a sacred alchemy artifact. While it did possess such an ability, the Philosopher's Stone was currently incomplete. It could only be used for alchemy conversion and elemental refinement. It did not possess the ability to synthesize Magic Crystals.
"Right, if one Philosopher's Stone isn't enough, what about two?" Shifeng suddenly recalled the fragment of the Philosopher's Stone he had obtained from the God's Tomb.
The Philosopher's Stone had been split into five pieces. Hence, its abilities had been greatly reduced. However, the Philosopher's Stone was originally one piece. As long as he gathered all five pieces, he could fully restore it. Although Shifeng had yet to gather all five pieces, he should be able to display more power with two pieces combined.
"I can only give it a try."
Shifeng had no other choice. His only hope was the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone had been split into five pieces, each of which was different in size. The Philosopher's Stone that Shifeng had obtained from the God's Tomb was relatively small. It could only be converted using alchemy. Hence, Shifeng had not come over.
Hence, Shifeng had rushed to the Bank's warehouse. After rummaging through the other Philosopher's Stone, he had immediately rushed back to the forging room.
Inside the forging room, Shifeng carefully pieced together the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone.
System: Do you wish to fuse the two Philosopher's Stones?
"Fuse." Shifeng immediately pressed the 'Fuse' button.
Immediately, the two Philosopher's Stones melted into a pool of blood-colored liquid and merged into one. They then transformed into a crimson bead the size of half a fist.
