Chapter 29
This is much better than Song Xiaozhu had imagined.
Two Quantum Coin are enough to fix it immediately.
Song Xiaozhu glanced at her Quantum Coin balance...
The pitiful number 5.
She'd never seen anything like this with double digits before!
Song Xiaozhu remembered that she still had a Growth Quest 2, which was to complete 10 transactions with others, and she would be rewarded with 10 Quantum Coin.
Okay, let's speed it up!
Song Xiaozhu consumed 2 Quantum Coin, and after a short pause, the notification sound said, "Repair complete. Synthesizer current level is 2."
A thick white mist rose up, completely enveloping the Workbench. Song Xiaozhu held her breath and watched intently.
She kept telling herself not to have expectations, lest she be disappointed, but she just couldn't help herself...
You absolutely must have the drug formula!
As the white mist dissipated, the Workbench suddenly appeared to have grown larger.
If it used to be a children's desk, now it's an adult desk. It's expanded in length, width, and height, as you can see from the small boxes. Originally, the two small boxes filled the left edge, but now there's at least one empty space.
Song Xiaozhu looked first at the perforated board above; she was most curious about the recipe.
To her surprise, the way the recipes were displayed on the pegboard this time was different from the first level. There were only seven in a row, but many of them were stacked together, turning from a single sheet of paper into a small booklet.
Unlike the previous Blank gray pages, this time each "booklet" has clear text: Basic Raw Material, Tools, Food, Medicine, Weapons, Armor, and Customization.
Upon seeing the medicine, Song Xiaozhu breathed a long sigh of relief. "Great!"
Then she saw weapons, armor, and the final customization options...
This secondary Synthesizer is much more powerful than the primary Synthesizer.
Not only do they have weapons and armor, but they also have a customization option.
What does "custom" mean?
Can she develop her own formula?
Song Xiaozhu's heart was pounding with anticipation.
Judging from the thickness of the booklet, there are only two pages each for the basic Raw Material and the food itself...
The pamphlets on medicines, weapons, and armor were quite thick, presumably indicating that the subordinates had many sub-formulas.
For example, the broad category of medicines includes many other medicines with different effects.
Song Xiaozhu was slightly disappointed that there were only two food items...
Alright, survival is the first priority, better days are yet to come!!
Chapter 29
Compared to the complete lack of information at the primary Workbench, the secondary Workbench provides far more information.
The recipes on the pegboard are not only categorized into major sections, but can also be flipped by hand.
Song Xiaozhu looked at the thickest "Tools" category, expecting to be prompted that she needed Quantum Coin to unlock it. However, with a gentle tap, the paper-thin but clearly more resilient material flipped open, revealing the sub-recipes below.
The first thing Song Xiaozhu noticed was the axe—not a "simple axe," but a "professional axe"!
She quickly rummaged through the items again, and sure enough, there were "professional hoes," "professional pickaxes," "professional peeling knives," and "Sturdy Storage Box."
Upon seeing the small box, Song Xiaozhu beamed with joy. Who wouldn't love such a portable box with built-in organization features?
We rely on it to gather resources.
The small box was surprisingly categorized as "tools," which makes sense, as the other categories don't fit at all, and it seems unnecessary to place it separately.
Upon closer reflection, the small box is indeed a space-saving storage tool.
Besides these five familiar faces, there are two grayed-out ones. To find out what they are, it seems we'll need to use Quantum Coin to unlock them.
It's time to test your luck again, but this time there's a major category, so Song Xiaozhu can choose which category of recipes to unlock first.
She then checked several other major categories. Under the medicines, there were five sheets of paper—let's call them sheets for now—all grayish-white, without any prescription names written on them.
Song Xiaozhu was pleasantly surprised; there were five types of medicine at level two, which would definitely be enough for a short time.
Ideally, you should have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications; they could truly be life-saving in this situation.
There were only three pieces of paper under the weapons and armor, all grayish-white, since there was nothing related to this at the level one Synthesizer.
The two sheets of paper beneath the basic Raw Material correspond to the new [Raw Material].
Finally, there was the food. Song Xiaozhu opened it and saw the names: "Clean Water" and "A Plenty of Simple Meals."
It was within her expectations, but it still brought her joy.
Just by looking at their names, you can tell that there are no daily restrictions on either of these recipes; they consist of water and food that can be consumed freely.
Of course, even in Song Xiaozhu's time, there were cases of water intoxication and overeating that the body couldn't handle, so one couldn't just eat and drink whatever one wanted. It's just that compared to the previous 1000ml and 1000g per day, these two were at least enough to fill one's stomach.
Especially
Would a "more substantial light meal" taste better?
Having long forgotten what delicacies were, Song Xiaozhu was incredibly looking forward to this "rich" simple meal!
After Song Xiaozhu finished flipping through the document, she became curious: what happened to the previous level one formula?
Where did all the simple tools, Raw Wood Material, Raw Stone Material, and Medicinal Raw Material go?
Surely, once you reach level 2, you won't be able to craft lower-level recipes anymore?
She still needs a simple axe to earn money.
The moment these questions flashed through her mind, a notification sounded, "View Level 1 recipe?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Yes."
Prompt: "Please slide the recipe panel."
Song Xiaozhu paused, then roughly understood...
The pegboard in front of me is the recipe panel; I didn't know it could slide...
How do you skate?
Like operating a smartphone?
Song Xiaozhu tried sliding the perforated board, and a light white mist rose up. Then the perforated board returned to its level 1 state, with a row of ten recipes floating there.
