Mu You and Lu Yao were old acquaintances by now. They had worked together several times and trusted each other enough to dispense with most reservations when discussing business. After a brief discussion, they settled on an arrangement.
Mu You entrusted this batch of goods entirely to Lu Yao to sell. She would collect a 10% commission on each item sold.
At noon that day, Lu Yao came to the Pet Shop, packed up the prepared goods, and took them away.
An hour later, the first batch of merchandise was already listed in the Firebearer's shop.
Mu You no longer needed to worry about the rest. He could leave everything to her and simply wait for the money.
Back in the Pet Shop, with all the useless items taken away, everything left on the floor was materials.
Mu You sorted through them, picked out several five-star materials, and sent them into the game.
[You placed Vampire Poison Fluff ×1 and Black Chicken Bone ×5 into the Synthesis Furnace.] [Material compatibility: 11.2%. The materials are too low-grade. Failure is extremely likely, and even a successful synthesis is unlikely to yield any meaningful improvement. Continue synthesis?]
"So five-star materials really won't work anymore..." Mu You sighed.
He had already suspected that, now that the Poison Velvet Blade was a six-star item, he might no longer be able to synthesize it with five-star materials. This confirmed it.
Of course, he could first synthesize the five-star materials into six-star materials and then continue upgrading it. But it took six portions of the same material to produce one portion a grade higher. The thousand-plus portions before him would instantly shrink to two hundred, which was rather wasteful. He might as well use six-star materials directly.
Mu You looked through the six-star materials next.
