Nine-Grid Synthesis

After leaving the HR Alliance, he returned to the model shop from last time. Without any fuss, he bought another 81 Imitation Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword Models, 81 sets of D1 Model Combat Suits and Combat Boots. The shop likewise sent a vehicle to deliver them to his home.

Not long after he returned to the entrance of Mingyue Community, the HR Alliance's delivery vehicle arrived as well.

His startup capital looked substantial, but once he actually started spending it, it really could not withstand his extravagance.

The gray-haired elder in the guardroom came out again. Looking at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz, he smiled and said, "Chen Hao, did you buy a new car?"

"Yeah. It's inconvenient to go out without a car. Whenever I buy a few things, taking a taxi is quite a hassle." Chen Hao smiled in reply. "Um, would it be alright if I have these delivery vehicles bring the goods to my house?"

"That's fine. Since you'll be with them, just make sure they don't wander around. Once they finish unloading, they must leave immediately. It wouldn't look good if other people saw them." The Martial Artist Elder did not make things difficult for him and was instead quite accommodating.

"Alright, then, Elder. I'll lead them in. Once they've unloaded everything, I'll escort them back out. It would be too troublesome to find people to carry everything in from the entrance." Since the vehicles could enter, Chen Hao was spared the trouble.

Although outside vehicles were not normally allowed in, delivery vehicles could pass as long as someone accompanied them. Otherwise, he would probably have to make several trips carrying everything himself.

Thinking about it, Martial Artists had to buy things often. If even delivery vehicles were not allowed inside, living here would hardly be comfortable.

"Follow me, and remember not to wander around." After warning the drivers of the two delivery trucks, he led them straight to his house.

The delivery drivers' eyes filled with envy when they saw Chen Hao's spacious villa. After the vehicles stopped, he did not ask them to help unload.

His weapons, equipment, and models were all quite heavy. If they carried them, the unloading would probably not go very quickly.

He handled it himself and moved everything down in less than five minutes, placing it all in the first-floor hall. "Alright, thank you, gentlemen. Come in and have some tea." He casually thanked the two men.

"No, no. We still need to head back and submit the paperwork." Seeing that they insisted on not entering, he did not press them. "Alright, then. Let's go. I'll see you out."

After escorting the two truck drivers out of the community, he quickly returned home. Rubbing his hands together, his eyes gleamed. "Will I be living on scraps, or enjoying beautiful women at a club? It all depends on this."

He excitedly looked at the boxes in the living room, then quickly carried them down to the basement. Last time, when I tried a Nine-Grid Synthesis with the Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword Models, it failed. I only managed a Three-Grid Synthesis and got one A1 Level Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword and one A4 Level one. This time, the Nine-Grid Synthesis should work.

As he thought, he took out nine Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword Models and inspected them. They were identical to the ones he had bought last time.

He then summoned the Synthesis Panel and swiftly placed the nine models in their synthesis slots. Taking a deep breath, he silently said, Synthesize.

The vortex button in the center quickly blurred, and the nine battle sword models disappeared. Seeing that the synthesis had succeeded, Chen Hao finally let out a long breath.

After checking, he found that his spiritual power had not been depleted much. He was overjoyed. It seems that after becoming a Spiritual Thought Master, I have enough spiritual power to support the synthesis.

Looking at the new battle sword in the center, he took it out and quickly Identified it:

Ordinary Longsword

Synthesized by a special method

Can break through the defenses of an Apprentice Level 9 Monster.

Looking at the identification result, he was overjoyed. This was an A9 Level Battle Sword, a battle sword capable of harming a High-Level Lord.

He had never expected that merely using nine battle sword models, at a cost lower than a single A1 Level one, would give him a top-tier Apprentice Level weapon. This was truly a deal with enormous returns.

He then sighed. What a pity. Unless I become an Invincible War God, or even a Councilor, there's no way I can sell this thing.

After all, the trade in weapons and equipment was controlled by the Five Great Powers. If he casually involved himself in it, it would definitely lead to trouble.

Rather than continue synthesizing battle swords, he picked up the imitation protective suits and Combat Boots. The synthesis went off without the slightest surprise.

He casually Identified them:

Ordinary Clothing

Synthesized by a special method

Can defend against Apprentice Level 9 attacks.

He excitedly clenched his fist. These were D9 Level Protective Suits and Combat Boots. His guess had been correct.

Chen Hao then took out another nine sets of D1 Level Protective Suits and Combat Boots, nine backpacks, nine Combat Communication Watches, nine B1 Level shields, nine A1 Level Throwing Knives, and those nine S-Level throwing knives, and subjected them all to Nine-Grid Synthesis.

Looking at the newly synthesized Exquisite Protective Suit and Combat Boots, Exquisite Backpack, Silver-White Arm Guard, savage-looking shield, blue-glowing throwing knives, and a disc-shaped flying wheel—the kind used by the Predator—

He Identified them one by one:

A1 Level Protective Suit

Synthesized by a special method

Can defend against first-stage Planet Level attacks.

Small Space Package

Synthesized by a special method

Contains ten cubic meters of space.

Primary Auxiliary Optical Computer

Synthesized by a special method

Loaded with Primary Intelligence.

A1 Level Alloy Shield

Synthesized by a special method

Can withstand first-stage Planet Level attacks.

A1 Level Throwing Knife

Synthesized by a special method

Can break through first-stage Planet Level defenses.

First-Grade Telekinetic Weapon

Synthesized by a special method

Can break through a First-Grade Force Battle Suit.

Looking at the items he had just synthesized, Chen Hao felt some mental exhaustion, but he was still consumed by immense delight.

He had vaguely grasped the rules of synthesis: Nine-Grid Synthesis raised an item's quality by an entire major tier, causing a qualitative transformation. Three-Grid Synthesis, meanwhile, raised an item's quality by a minor grade.

For example, ordinary Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword Models contained no Kroll Alloy. Yet after Three-Grid Synthesis, they rose by a minor grade, their quality reaching the A1 Level assessed by the Martial Hall.

As a high-grade special metal from before the Great Nirvana, after undergoing Nine-Grid Synthesis, it directly became an A9-Grade Battle Sword containing a large amount of Kroll Alloy. That was a qualitative transformation.

The same applied to the clothing and shields. Of course, the backpacks and arm guards gave him the greatest surprise.

He had never expected that Nine-Grid Synthesis would directly turn them into Space Backpacks. Though each only had ten cubic meters of space, they were still far more convenient than ordinary backpacks.

He still needed to test something else. He synthesized another eight Space Backpacks, then placed all nine Space Backpacks onto the Fusion Panel. He silently said, Synthesize.

He felt a clear drain on his spiritual power, nearly one-tenth of it.

He then looked at the newly synthesized, palm-sized Exquisite Backpack and Identified it:

Large Space Backpack

Synthesized by a special method

Contains 100 cubic meters of space. (After recognizing an owner with blood, items can be stored using spiritual power.)
