Song Xiaozhu swiped to the left again, and the perforated board returned to its level 2 recipe booklet form.
The operation was quite smooth, and after trying it a few times, Song Xiaozhu was satisfied.
Since the level 1 recipe was still there, there was nothing to worry about. Song Xiaozhu continued to study the level 2 recipe. She opened the tools menu, looked at the "Professional Axe," and wondered, "How do I unlock the recipe?"
It definitely requires Quantum Coin. She currently has 3 Quantum Coin, which should be enough to unlock at least one, right?
A level 1 recipe requires 1 Quantum Coin, and a level 2 recipe is estimated to require 2 Quantum Coin?
A notification sounded, "Use 2 Quantum Coin to upgrade the recipe?"
It's not unlocking, it's upgrading?
That's right. This "professional axe" is clearly an upgraded version of the "simple axe," which is why it directly displays the recipe name. However, it doesn't show the materials required for the recipe, so it can't be synthesized.
2 Quantum Coin...
That works too.
Wrong!
Song Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat. She flipped to the medicine section, trying to unlock the first medicine formula.
A notification sounded, "Insufficient Quantum Coin to unlock the new recipe."
Song Xiaozhu: "..."
It's true, upgrading a recipe costs one price, but unlocking a new recipe costs another!
All 3 Quantum Coin
Not enough! How many Quantum Coin do you need?
Prompt: "Unlocking the current recipe requires 10 Quantum Coin."
Song Xiaozhu: "..."
Why don't you just rob someone!
Where did she get 10 Quantum Coin?
Don't you have any idea how difficult it is to produce this thing?
The notification tone answered her question earnestly, "Fixed Quest has been activated. Please scroll down to view the details panel."
Hmm, there are other ways to obtain it?
Song Xiaozhu looked up at the details panel above the perforated board; the Synthesizer's information had been updated.
Damaged Item Synthesizer.
Level: 2
Experience points: 0
Quantum Coin: 3
Repair Points: 0
Random Synthesis attempts: 0
Unlocked recipes: All Tier 1 recipes.
Achievements unlocked: Level-One Unlucky Player, Level-One Digger, Level-One Hunter, Level-One Purifier, Level-One Logger, Level-One Cook, Level-One Mineralogist, Level-One Spatial Master.
After reaching level 2, both experience points and Repair Points were reset to zero.
As for the number of Random Synthesis...
Haha, it's always been 0.
Song Xiaozhu noticed the difference between unlocked recipes and activated achievements.
The former uses "all" to summarize, while the latter lists everything. What does this mean?
She also has a Level 1 achievement yet to be unlocked.
Putting everything else aside, she doesn't yet have enough Quantum Coin to unlock the Level Level-One Pharmacist title.
Song Xiaozhu gently swiped the details panel, and another wisp of white mist appeared, the handwriting on it changing.
At the very top are four large characters: Task Panel.
The first line at the bottom is the Growth Quest, followed by Song Xiaozhu's unfinished tasks, and the task progress is also displayed, which saves you the trouble of keeping track of them yourself.
The second line was the Fixed Quest, and Song Xiaozhu stared intently at it.
There are three Fixed Quest, which are quite simple and straightforward.
1. Please strive to earn Transaction Value.
2. Please strive to acquire Leadership Value.
3. Please try your best to gain Slaughter Value.
Song Xiaozhu could understand the first two, but what was the last one?
Slaughter Value...
Should we send her to commit murder and arson?
The Synthesizer would occasionally give her a creepy feeling.
Living in a chaotic world, Song Xiaozhu wasn't so naive as to think she...
I can keep my hands clean...
In fact, she already has a life on her hands.
But there is a fundamental difference between self-defense and murder, and Song Xiaozhu has no intention of becoming the latter.
The Fixed Quest" itself indicates that these three missions will always exist. As for how to obtain Transaction Value, Leadership Value, and Slaughter Value...
The prompt replied, "Please explore on your own."
Okay, that's practically no reply.
Song Xiaozhu was aware of the Transaction Value and Slaughter Value, but as for the Leadership Value...
Who can she, an ordinary citizen, lead?
It's probably going to be quite difficult to accumulate that much.
Below the Fixed Quest, there is a line of smaller text explaining the uses of Transaction Value, Leadership Value, and Slaughter Value.
Today's exchange rate: 1:100.
Song Xiaozhu asked, "Can 1 point of Transaction Value be exchanged for 100 Quantum Coin?"
She thought it was impossible, but still held onto a sliver of hope.
Anyway, it's worth asking.
Prompt: "100 Transaction Value can be exchanged for 1 Quantum Coin."
Song Xiaozhu thought to herself, "Then you wrote it backwards!"
Selective deafness to the prompt tone.
Song Xiaozhu stared at the word "today," calculating in her mind that this fluctuation would likely only go up, not down.
Currently, you can exchange 100 Transaction Value for 1 Quantum Coin. But once she becomes successful, it might take 200 Transaction Value to exchange for one Quantum Coin.
This lousy Synthesizer is even more unscrupulous than some game developers!
Song Xiaozhu scrolled through the details panel again and asked, "Are there any other new features?"
She simply asked directly, but the prompt tone once again selectively ignored her.
Song Xiaozhu felt more and more that the notification sound was "personalized" and more thoughtful than it had been at level one.
Speaking of which...
As she repairs the Synthesizer, will this thing come to life?!
Song Xiaozhu snapped to attention and stopped her train of thought.
Don't scare yourself.
Right now, she needs Synthesizer...
Besides, what is without risk?
Zweig's famous quote constantly lingered in her mind—she was too young then to know that every gift bestowed by fate already had a price tag attached.
Song Xiaozhu collected her thoughts and looked at the level 2 recipes.
She currently only has 3 Quantum Coin, which is insufficient to unlock new recipes, but she can upgrade an existing one.
