"Yes."

"Evolution failed..."

It failed seven times in a row before finally succeeding in evolving on the eighth attempt.

The original compass shape became slightly larger, and the long chain hanging on the outside also grew a little longer. The original deep black color turned into platinum. The strange runes with unknown meanings on the dial without markings disappeared, replaced by countless mysterious deep white patterns that intertwined like branches and leaves.

Xia Zhi put it into his inventory and checked its new attributes.

[Find the Lost Item Compass]

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Assistive devices.

Characteristics: Detection, hypnosis.

Effect: If a supernatural item of platinum quality is nearby, the compass needle will point in the direction of that item (the closest one). Gently swaying the dial in front of the other person can hypnotize them; the stronger the holder's mental power, the easier it is to successfully hypnotize them.

Hidden effect: Range of all detection skills increased by 30%, mental energy recovery increased by 10%.

Recyclable: 1000 points.

Xia Zhi looked at the item description and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The compass's original detection capability has indeed been upgraded from detecting gold items to detecting platinum items, but the newly added feature is surprisingly [hypnosis].

Isn't this a skill exclusive to the Otherworld?

Did I really choose the wrong skill tree?

Xia Zhi took the [Item Finder] out of his inventory and held it in his hand. He discovered that his God's-eye view had expanded from the original 20 meters to 26 meters.

pretty good.

My view opened up again.

For him, the main benefits of this item are its concealment effect that increases detection range and its ability to find high-quality materials.

As for hypnosis, it's really useless for such a virtuous and good person like him.

We also need to consider the issue of carrying it with us.

You can put it directly into your pocket.

In addition, this thing is a bit like the Fontaine pocket watch that my cousin bought at the auction. It can be carried in the same way, but you need to have buttonholes on your clothes.

Xia Zhi tied the long chain from the compass to the button of his pajamas, using it as a pocket watch pendant.

Then, Xia Zhi opened the [Evolution] panel again, a thoughtful look on his face.

He suddenly realized that the [Evolution] function could also be used to earn points.

Just like the newly evolved [Object Finder].

Suppose he now uses 100 points to buy a gold item from the [Shop]. The initial evolution success rate is 10%, and each evolution requires 100 points.

If he is lucky enough to succeed on his first evolution, the gold item will become a platinum item. The total cost will be 200 points, but the recyclable price will become 1000 points.

That's equivalent to a net gain of 800 points.

Only when he has particularly bad luck, and finally succeeds on the tenth evolution with a 100% success rate, will the total cost of 1100 points exceed the recyclable price of 1000 points.

At this point, they had only lost 100 points.

Xia Zhi glanced at his luck stat. With the blessings of [Auspiciousness], [Universal Key], [Thread of Fate], and [Transcendental], it was already quite high, and he should be able to easily break even.

The only question to consider is whether there's a daily limit on the number of times the "Evolution" function can be used...

Xia Zhi asked the little old mirror, but it said it didn't know. It was really useless. Perhaps the system itself was too mysterious.

It seems we still have to give it a try.

Following this line of thought, the higher the quality of the evolved items, the greater the profit. He currently has over a thousand points available, which means that choosing gold-quality items is the most suitable option.

Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and bought the cheapest gold item that she had seen before.

[Full Revitalization Potion]

Quality: Gold.

Type: Consumable.

Features: Instant recovery.

Effect: Immediately heals all injuries.

Hidden effects: None.

Price: 100 points.

It wasn't that he had to choose this one; he was just curious and wanted to see how the effects of the purple potion would change after it became platinum quality.

Place the potion into the [Evolution] panel and click the Evolution button.

"Do you want to evolve the [Full Vitality Recovery Potion]? This item is a gold item, with a current evolution success rate of 10%, and requires 100 points."

"Yes."

The available points have decreased by 100, and a light appears on the panel.

"Evolution failed. Evolution success rate increased by 10%. Current evolution success rate is 20%. Do you want to continue evolving [Full Vitality Recovery Potion]?"

"Yes."

"Evolution failed..."

It failed three times in a row, but succeeded in evolving on the fourth try.

The potion had now changed from its original purple color to a dazzling gold.

[Full Revitalization Potion]

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Consumable.

Features: Instant recovery, invincibility.

Effect: Instantly restores all injuries and grants 10 seconds of invulnerability.

Hidden effects: None.

Recyclable: 1000 points.

Xia Zhi looked at the newly added "Invincible" attribute on the item and fell silent.

This... seems a bit impressive.

Ten seconds of invincibility... it seems a bit short, but in battle, there are so many things you can do with it.

I'm totally sold!

You might need it someday!

Xia Zhi directly recycled the bottle of golden platinum potion and gained 1000 points.

The evolution had been done four times, costing a total of 400 points. Adding the purchase cost of 100 points, the total cost was 500 points.

This attempt netted me 500 points.

It's much better than working a regular job.

Chapter 286 Strange Toy Plus One

Xia Zhi immediately opened the [Shop] and bought another [Full Vitality Recovery Potion], which he then placed in the [Evolution] panel.

He had just clicked the evolution button twice when he heard the system notification in his mind.

"I have used up all my normal evolution attempts for today. Do you want to spend double points to continue evolving?"

Double? Excuse me.

"……no."

Xia Zhi silently tossed the potion back into his inventory and did some mental calculations.

The first evolution transformed the [Item Finder] from silver to gold, requiring six evolution attempts.

The second evolution transformed the [Item Finder] from gold to platinum, requiring eight evolution attempts.

The third evolution transformed the [Full Recovery Potion] from gold to platinum, requiring four evolution attempts.

The fourth attempt at the essence was unsuccessful, having already used two evolution attempts.

In other words, the system allows a total of twenty normal evolution attempts per day.

Although his luck attribute is quite high, it still took him eight attempts to succeed in his second evolution, which shows the instability of the luck attribute.

It can't yet grant Xia Zhi's every wish, but in tonight's "evolution" of the entire event, Xia Zhi was still very lucky and made a profit.

This instability might be because his luck isn't high enough yet.
