A person's energy is limited; she simply can't develop in three different areas.
Next up was the recipe. Song Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on the module she was most looking forward to.
The level 3 recipe is crucial; it's the key to whether she... and even the entire Liu Family Village, can take another step forward.
Compared to the first two modules, the recipes here are incredibly abundant, unfolding in a flurry of activity.
Song Xiaozhu looked closely and found that all the recipes were level 1 and level 2 and had already been unlocked, making it easier to check them.
You can click to collapse the Level 1 and Level 2 recipes; next up is the Level 3 recipe.
Level 3 recipes are similar to Level 2 recipes, and also have several major categories: tools, food, medicine, weapons, armor, basic Raw Material, and infrastructure.
The first six are the same categories as the level 2 recipes, but the last one, infrastructure, is clearly a new addition at level 3.
Song Xiaozhu clicked on it, and after it expanded, there were four Blank.
The gray squares all displayed the message: "Recipe to be unlocked."
Although it's no longer lightweight paper, you can still see that there are four new formulas under this category.
Song Xiaozhu checked them one by one, and roughly got a sense of what they were.
The tools are still the same set, but they've all been upgraded to higher levels, including fishing rods and animal traps. A new recipe has also been added, but its exact nature is currently unknown.
There are two recipes for the food items, presumably different types of water and a more upscale version of the simple meal.
The medicine category also has upgraded versions—advanced anti-inflammatory drugs, advanced hemostatic powder, and advanced painkillers; there are also three new formulas to be unlocked.
Song Xiaozhu clicked on the weapon category she was looking forward to; the steel sword and spear both had upgraded versions, but the bow and arrow were missing.
Song Xiaozhu was slightly disappointed. She was still worried about the flying Polluted Beast, and a bow and arrow were essential to attack those monsters.
There are also three recipes to be unlocked in the weapon category.
Song Xiaozhu resisted the urge to unlock it right away and went to check the later categories first.
To Song Xiaozhu's even greater surprise, the armor set didn't include upgraded versions of the leather helmet, armor, and gloves; instead, there were only three new recipes waiting to be unlocked.
Song Xiaozhu finally clicked on the basic Raw Material and saw three new recipes.
Without hesitation, she chose to unlock it.
Prompt: "Consume 10 Quantum Coin to unlock the current Raw Material recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu: "?"
She has a sharp mind, especially when it comes to money; she remembers things very clearly.
"At level one, isn't it only one Quantum Coin?"
"The current Raw Material grade is too high."
So it increased tenfold?
"..."
Song Xiaozhu closed her eyes, a bad feeling creeping over her.
If the basic Raw Material have increased tenfold, then wouldn't the new formula also increase tenfold?
Her 520 Quantum Coin still aren't enough!
The prompt repeated, "Consume 10 Quantum Coin to unlock the current Raw Material recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu gritted her teeth. "Yes."
It was still the familiar white mist, but it drifted by like a wisp of smoke, and then the screen displayed information about the new formula.
Formula Name: Cloth Raw Material
Recipe Level: 3
Required Raw Material: 1 animal hide + 1 crude oil
Success rate: 1-99%.
Song Xiaozhu had no face
expression.
She was well aware of her own bad luck.
Especially now that Mr. Reminder is going through his rebellious phase, he's bound to cause her a lot of trouble.
There are three recipes for basic Raw Material. The first one is [Cloth Raw Material], which corresponds to the recipe for armor.
That's fine too.
This indicates the existence of more advanced armor.
Song Xiaozhu focused on the basic Raw Material and continued unlocking the secrets.
The notification tone didn't try to raise the price; it politely asked, "Would you like to consume 10 Quantum Coin to unlock the Raw Material recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Yes."
Another wisp of white mist drifted by, and the new formula finally brought a sigh of relief to Song Xiaozhu.
Recipe Name: Energy Stone
Recipe Level: 3
Required materials: Energy Stone Fragment * 10
Success rate: 1-99%.
The recipe was pretty much what Song Xiaozhu had expected; indeed, Awakening Stone Fragment could be combined to create Awakening Stone.
Of course, this thing is called Energy Stone in the Synthesizer.
Ten Energy Stone Fragment can be combined to create one Energy Stone.
In that case, it would be equivalent to 30 Polluted Beast.
Um...
Song Xiaozhu was a little worried, hoping there would be enough Polluted Beast...
There was also a Raw Material recipe, which Song Xiaozhu unlocked without hesitation.
She initially thought it was some kind of basic Raw Material like [Cloth Raw Material], but unexpectedly, she got... Breakthrough Stone!
Of course, Synthesizer here have their own naming system as always.
However, judging from the Raw Material, it can be inferred that these "Enhancement Stone" are 90% likely the Breakthrough Stone mentioned by Awakened.
Recipe Name: Enhancement Stone
Recipe Level: 3
Required materials: 10 Energy Stone + 100 Quantum Coin.
Success rate: 1-99%.
Another "money-devouring beast".
When Song Xiaozhu saw the Quantum Coin *100, her vision went black.
If she wants to form a high-level Awakened squad later... money, all money!
And that success rate, is 1% for real?
She wouldn't accept that 99% of the time!
Song Xiaozhu looked up at her Quantum Coin balance.
It successfully fell below 500, reaching 490.
Song Xiaozhu's fingers trembled slightly as she tried tapping the advanced steel knife. A notification sounded, "Consume 20 Quantum Coin to upgrade the current recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu: "..."
That really is ten times more!
She remembered that at level 2, upgrading a recipe only required 2 Quantum Coin.
Song Xiaozhu closed her eyes, clicked on the unlocked new recipe, and a notification sounded, "Consume 100 Quantum Coin to unlock the current weapon recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat, but without thinking, she replied directly, "Yes."
