Of course, even if the item level is high, there are level limitations to Random Synthesis, and items that are too far beyond the level can not be synthesized.
Speaking of which, Song Xiaozhu still doesn't know how effective that bag of fertilizer from the Shang Bao was...
The poor foxtail grass was contaminated by the Acidic Crawler and was uprooted, taken back to Ink City along with the Crawler' corpses.
Song Xiaozhu selected a professional axe.
Right now, besides this axe, the most valuable thing in her shack is Ink City Coin. She can't exactly use money to Random Synthesis them, can she...? Wait a minute?
Why not?
No, that won't work.
The notification tone had told her a few days ago that the currency here was of very low value, and using it for Random Synthesis was like burning money like paper, which wasn't worth it.
It's estimated that in the Synthesizer's judgment, these 1000 Ink City Coin are just a stack of dirty waste paper.
Song Xiaozhu couldn't bear to part with it.
Why feed the money you've worked so hard to earn to a Synthesizer? Wouldn't it be better to save it and use it to open your own business?
He didn't cherish it.
Song Xiaozhu dismissed the idea and carefully placed the professional axe on it.
With Old Chen as a scrap metal "supplier," Song Xiaozhu no longer lacked [ Iron Raw Material ]. Tian Man had a detailed discussion with his family, and the price he offered was fair. What was even better than the uniform price of the recycling station was that he would price the scrap metal according to its quality.
The prices range from two cents to six cents.
Tian Man knew that Song Xiaozhu preferred higher-quality scrap iron, as this would make the production process more efficient, which is why he set such a price.
This also aligns with Song Xiaozhu's request. "Only half will be recovered for now."
In this way, Old Chen can buy back their extremely poor-quality scrap iron at a fixed price from the recycling station—the station currently only offers them 10 cents, which is quite harsh.
It just so happened that Old Chen had some stock, and they delivered about 100 jin (50 kg) on the first day.
Song Xiaozhu was very satisfied with Tian Man's arrangement. With this high-quality scrap iron, her efficiency in synthesizing [ Iron Raw Material ] was extremely high. She could get one piece from two or three catties. Even if Song Xiaozhu was unlucky, she could basically make a professional axe from two [ Iron Raw Material ].
Based on this calculation, 100 kilograms of scrap iron can make at least 20-30 professional axes.
The recycling price for 100 kilograms of scrap iron is 60 yuan.
Song Xiaozhu's key to making axes is that there are almost no production costs. She sells them to Tian Man and Luo Liuzi at a "wholesale price" of 15 yuan each. After deducting the cost of purchasing scrap iron, she can easily make more than 300 yuan.
Money is easy to make, but Quantum Coin are hard to find!
We still need to focus on volume; only by selling more at a lower profit margin can we boost Transaction Value.
We'll plan things out gradually after we've established the market in Liu Family Village.
A prompt sounded, "Perform Random Synthesis?"
Song Xiaozhu rubbed her hands together, trying to make herself look a little "whiter": "Yes."
The white mist enveloped the professional axe; a second or two passed, but it felt as slow as a new year passing by.
"Received 'Fresh Meat'*1".
Review: A piece of fresh, lean meat.
"Effects of use: Long-term consumption can enhance physical strength."
Song Xiaozhu was stunned. A piece of fresh meat?
Was her Random Synthesis this time a stroke of luck or bad luck?
She stared intently at the " Workbench," the snow-white surface now serving as a cutting board, upon which lay a piece of fresh... or rather, raw meat.
It looks like a piece of beef tenderloin, weighing about one or two pounds?
Song Xiaozhu poked it with her finger; the soft sensation felt both familiar and strange to her.
In her own world, a piece of raw meat is nothing out of the ordinary. Even modern people who don't cook often can see large pieces of pork, beef, and lamb in the fresh food section of the supermarket when they stroll around.
But in this world, especially at the foot of this impoverished Garbage Mountain, raw meat is a rare find.
The heavily polluted Garbage Mountain has driven all the animals out of the restricted area, making the " Hunter " useless; there's no meat left to eat.
The recycling center occasionally sells raw meat, all sourced from the Fortress, and it's so expensive that the residents of the Garbage Mountain question their existence.
Of course, this high price means nothing to the residents of the Garbage Mountain.
Survival is a struggle; where would they find the money to consume "luxury goods"?
Song Xiaozhu recalled the notification sound in her mind.
The effects of use are: long-term use will improve physical fitness?
Eating meat will definitely improve a person's physical health.
However, Song Xiaozhu felt that this prompt tone was always harsh in its evaluation of synthetic substances. For it to say the words "enhance physical strength," the effect was probably much stronger than that of ordinary fresh meat.
Thinking about it this way, Song Xiaozhu felt that she was quite lucky this time.
Compared to one-time candy, fresh meat, which can be consumed regularly, is much better. It can not only improve one's diet and mood, but also strengthen one's physique—her constitution is too poor.
Even if she can't become like Qiu Shuyu, but can be like Tian Man and Luo Liuzi, she won't have to be afraid of the likes of Shang Bao!
Gurgle.
Song Xiaozhu rubbed her stomach; she was actually craving meat.
Instead of immediately tasting the "fresh meat," she asked, "How do I record Custom Recipe?"
The prompt tone replied, "Testing in progress, please wait."
Another cloud of white mist enveloped the piece of fresh meat. Song Xiaozhu felt inexplicably nervous. She hoped that the Synthesizer wouldn't devour her flesh; her stomach was rumbling with craving.
The notification sounded again, "Detection complete. Meets the current Synthesizer level and Custom Recipe recording criteria. Record now?"
Song Xiaozhu, now more perceptive, proactively asked, "Does this require Quantum Coin?"
She figured it out: as long as she had enough Quantum Coin, the notification sound would deduct them directly.
Notification: "First save, consuming 2 Quantum Coin."
Song Xiaozhu raised an eyebrow, sensing the hidden meaning in the words, and asked, "And the second time?"
The notification tone is no longer working.
Song Xiaozhu pouted. This Synthesizer was always eyeing her Quantum Coin. She had finally managed to save up a little bit, and it was all gone in the blink of an eye.
