After getting slashed by Jingliu so many times, can't I enjoy it just once?
Qingque's rhetoric was very skillful, but the power of her statement "I am a minor" was comparable to "You've been beaten by a monkey."
The Law on the Protection of Minors in Xianzhou are very strict.
Qingque moved closer to Chen Li and watched as countless Miracle Fire flew as the iron hammer fell, making the Miraculous Item's form even more complete.
"Even after witnessing the forging process, it's hard to believe that such a Miraculous Item could be created so casually. I originally thought your forging scene would be much grander," Qingque said.
"The scene of me forging Miraculous Item for the first time in this world was indeed grand. Tens of thousands of people were silently watching you, and there was the Erudition one Peeping you above you... who might be Peeping me right now." Chen Li looked up suspiciously, but found nothing.
Chen Li's identification ability can help Chen Li observe the entries on every living thing and even inanimate object, but he cannot prevent being Chen Li on beyond his line of sight.
To identify an entry, you must first "see" it.
"If the Erudition is watching you, does that mean He sees me standing right next to you? What if He discovers my extraordinary talent and recruits me into the Genius Society?" Qingque was a little worried.
"Don't try to change the subject. Remember to take responsibility for me."
"You really only think about yourself!" Qingque said angrily when she realized that her attempt to change the subject had failed.
"Ah, the Miraculous Forging finished."
"What effect?" Qingque looked curiously at the glasses Chen Li picked up from the Forging Table.
[Demon Eye Killer]: Can be used to suppress special abilities in the area covered by the glasses.
That's right, this "Demon Eye Killer" is called Demon Eye Killer because, as a pair of glasses, it can only conveniently cover the eyes.
This can be described as an unconventional money-saving technique.
This Miraculous Item is indeed very economical in Crystals, costing only five Crystals and using only one entry— [Suppression], from a talisman from the world of Inuyasha.
Although 5 Crystals may sound like a small amount, and the "Suppression" attribute isn't particularly prominent, the saying still holds true: if a beginner's Miraculous Item can't fight the world, can't it at least fight you?
"Sigh, Chen Li, what do you think would happen if the Great Augur put these glasses on his own Dharma Eye?" Qingque asked, puzzled after hearing Chen Li's description of the glasses.
"???" Chen Li glanced at Qingque in surprise, then fell into deep thought.
Is the Dharma Eye... even considered an eye?
Should I count?
It should work.
"If nothing unexpected happens, if Fu Xuan wears these glasses, her divine eye will lose its ability to help her with divination and will only be able to be used as a charging port," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.
"Charging port?"
"Never mind what I said. Would you like to try it on? If you're not interested, I'll have to hand it over to the customer," Chen Li said.
"No need. Speaking of which, Chen Li, is the return on your painstaking efforts in creating these Miraculous Item really that high?" Qingque asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
"The job of Miraculous Forger is to forge Miraculous Items, hand Miraculous Item Miracle. The Miracles they create will then be returned to me as Miracle Crystals. To be honest, even if the client doesn't pay a forging fee, I can still make a profit from the difference," Chen Li said while handing over the glasses.
"But since they're all forging Miraculous Items, of course they'll be forged for the person who pays the highest price, right?"
"Pretty much. Unless he's the first mentor I meet in some world, in which case I'll give away half the price of the Miraculous Item I forge for him, to help Trailblaze the market."
"Like me?"
"That's right, so you're lucky. Although you're not the first guide I've met, the guide before you was killed by the Hunt Aeon. So you got this 50% off coupon." Chen Li nodded.
Robins and Sundays?
They count too, but Chen Li only had Qingque as his guide on the Xianzhou.
Xianzhou is a great place; there are tons of entries here.
Although Chen Li did not discuss with Jing Yuan the reward for creating the Miraculous Item to suppress Mara-Struck, this was one of the small lessons Chen Li learned from encountering countless troubles as a transmigrator, on maximizing his gains.
If the payment is agreed upon in advance, that's called a transaction, and the payment is fixed.
Afterwards, without saying a word, the other party will personally give you the payment. Not only will they give you more money, but they'll also thank you and owe you a favor. At that point, they'll genuinely be willing to share anything good they have.
If we were to follow the customs of the Xianzhou, then at least ten or eight Alliance Omen would be given to Chen Li.
Free things are often the most expensive!
However, the minimum requirement for this method is that you must have a big enough fist to cause significant damage to the other party when you are unhappy.
I can do without it, but you can't not give it to me. jpg
If Chen Li can forge Miraculous Item that suppress Mara-Struck, then it wouldn't be surprising if he could forge Miraculous Item that can immediately detonate the Mara-Struck, right?
Jing Yuan, being a smart man, clearly realized this, so before Chen Li had done anything, he gave Chen Li a Divine Body Amber.
A person who can become the head of a power may be bad, but he is not stupid. Just like this morning Screwllum and Chen Li "complained" that the Interastral Peace Corporation visited Chen Li five times in one morning in order to get his contact information.
They were saying things like, "We'd do anything to forge a Miraculous Item for the Interastral Peace Corporation," which were incomprehensible to most people.
Chen Li felt that the Interastral Peace Corporation, completely unaware of the purpose of the Miraculous Item Chen Li had created, was simply looking for a reason to send Chen Li money and establish contact.
"Besides that, do you have any other benefits?" Qingque asked.
"Yes. As a transmigrator, I can obtain Starstones simply by creating disturbances in this world that wouldn't normally exist." Chen Li nodded.
"So you can only obtain Starstones by creating ripples? Can't you use indirect methods? For example, you influence me, and I influence the world, thus bringing you benefits?" Qingque continued to ask.
"Sure. For example, when I give away Miraculous Items, I usually include Starstones reward." Chen Li nodded again.
"Then I have a plan..." Qingque held up an index finger.
"Stop with your little schemes. That should be my word," Chen Li retorted.
"???"
"Ahem, please continue."
"Chen Li, have you considered building an employment system within your Friends Circle?" Qingque asked.
"Hiring system?"
"That's right. After all, your Friends Circle are just sitting around doing nothing. You can use some currency to let them influence the world and earn Starstones for you. Isn't that making money while sitting at home?"
"Qingque, are you a genius?"
"Furthermore, after you issue the currency, it will allow other people in your Friends Circle to exchange resources. For example, if someone urgently needs help, they can use this currency to hire others to help them. Although you didn't personally cause this commotion, as the intermediary, you should also be able to obtain Starstones." Seeing that Chen Li seemed interested, Qingque continued to add fuel to the fire.
"That's right. If they're not from the same world, then I, who provided the Friends Circle media platform, should have gained even more Starstones." Chen Li nodded repeatedly.
"Moreover, if the currency you issue is actually something with real value like Starstones, you might be able to obtain even more Starstones, because Starstones are also part of your influence," Qingque continued.
"That makes sense. So what exactly do you want?"
"Lend me two coins." Qingque spread out her hands.
"Huh?" Chen Li was taken aback.
"I want to use Starstones to draw cards."
"Why did you become obsessed with gacha pulls?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.
"I wasn't interested in gacha pulls before. Until I used the 10 Starstones you gave me to do a 10-pull and got this thing." Qingque said as she Heart Wings took out the item she treasured.
"The Emperor's Jade Cards?" Chen Li recognized the item in Qingque's hand.
"That's right, but this isn't an ordinary Emperor's Jade Cards. This is the oldest Emperor's Jade Cards. Ah, look at the weathered surface, look at the intricate patterns, look at the ancient craftsmanship! This isn't just a pendant; it's an antique!" Qingque exclaimed excitedly.
"So?"
"So, since I came up with this idea, I'm naturally the hero, right? There's an old saying in the Immortal Xianzhou: 'A thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones.' Even if it's just to motivate everyone in our Friends Circle, you should reward me with some Starstones, right? Sooner or later, I'll draw a complete set of antique-grade Emperor's Jade Cards!" Qingque said excitedly.
"But Qingque, have you ever considered why the payment system was the first system I built in my Friends Circle?" Chen Li asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Qingque was taken aback.
"But you're right, a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones... I can give you 100 Starstones," Chen Li said.
"Really? Chen Li, I love you so much."
"But I really don't recommend using all 100 Starstones to draw cards. Who knows how long it will take you to draw a full set of Emperor's Jade Cards?" Chen Li reminded Qingque as he handed her the 100 Starstones.
"Friend, this is a high-stakes gamble." Qingque gave Chen Li a thumbs up.
"Just wait and you'll lose miserably." Chen Li flicked Qingque on the forehead.
You really have no memory at all!
"Friend, we've lost miserably!" Qingque knelt on the ground, her hands supporting her weight, as if her whole body had turned ashen.
"... It can't be considered a loss, can it?" But this time, Chen Li, who had advised Qingque not to gamble, didn't dare to say a word. Instead, he comforted Qingque.
It wasn't that Chen Li was worried that Qingque might do something irrational in the heat of the moment, but rather that Chen Li felt that Qingque's luck this time was truly exceptional.
The [Starsea Trove] feature allows you to obtain random items using Starstones.
The amount of Starstones invested determines the lower limit of the "time, space, and fate" traces contained in your item, but not the upper limit.
So theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible for a single draw to produce Miracle.
Just like a "bird's nest" might also yield the "Heart of Africa".
The antique-grade Emperor's Jade Cards that Qingque wanted wasn't actually a large item; it was just that Qingque particularly liked it.
Therefore, Qingque only needs to invest one Starstones each time.
However, theoretically speaking, given that it's impossible for a large shipment to appear in 100 attempts, Chen Li found it absurd to see Qingque casually tossing the chess set aside.
Can you get the Heart of God by drawing a Starstones item?
Thunder, God, Magic...
The inscription on the Heart of God, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is dazzling. Although it cannot compare to the blessing of the Aeon, it is still a rare and excellent item.
"Qingque, are you the God of Gamblers?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.
Chapter 101: After being killed by Jingliu so many times, can't I enjoy it once?
Of the other 99 items Qingque drew, the vast majority were indeed ordinary items with lackluster attributes, but there were a few interesting ones.
The 1- Starstones draw works like this: whatever you draw is worth at least 1 Starstones, so you never have to worry about losing money.
But whether you can actually use these things is another matter entirely.
At least Qingque proved to Chen Li that using 1 Starstones for 100 consecutive draws resulted in a product qualification rate of less than 5%.
"Chen Li, are you going to recycle this?" Qingque, who had been feeling down for a while, looked at Chen Li as if he were her Savior.
"Theoretically speaking, there are entries here, and they can indeed be recycled, but..."
"But what?"
"But using the Miracle Fire to enhance these attributes would be a complete waste," Chen Li said.
After all, increasing the brightness of an entry requires Crystals, and Crystals cannot be bought with money.
However, entries with higher brightness can always be purchased if you're willing to spend the money.
Although Chen Li has no money, he does have the Medicine Master's Legacy.
"That..."
"However, Mr. Chen is kind-hearted. Among the 100 items you drew, three have decent brightness, and I'll offer 30 Starstones for them. More than 50 items, although not very bright, seem to be edible, and I can buy them at half cost. The rest are not even edible, so let's not discuss them," Chen Li said.
After Chen Li gained the Gourmet Cells, no item he drew was ever wasted.
The fact that the descriptions on these items are not very prominent does not mean that they are worthless or not precious enough; it simply means that the item has not yet accumulated enough "relevance".
However, Chen Li is also picky about food; it must be clean.
Just because Chen Li can eat doesn't mean Chen Li wants to. Just like that weathered denim jacket next to him, Chen Li doesn't even want to think about what might be on it, so he would absolutely not eat it.
"Great, that's 55 Starstones back!" Qingque breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't get too excited yet."
"What's wrong?" Qingque's heart skipped a beat when she heard Chen Li's words.
"Because you'll be even happier in a little while."
"Um?"
"I'll buy this for 100 Starstones, will you sell it?" Chen Li asked, holding the Raiden's Gnosis.
"Sell! Sell!" Qingque exclaimed repeatedly.
