[Enhancing Crystals]
Quality: Gold.
Type: Consumable.
Characteristic: Evolution.
Effect: When used on other items, there is a chance to upgrade their quality by one tier: Black Iron (100%), Silver (50%), Gold (25%), Platinum (1%).
Hidden effect: When evolution fails, the original effects of the item will be randomly enhanced.
A shiny, rhomboid stone appeared in his hand.
Xia Zhi brought the crystal close to the Hourglass in front of him.
"Use [Enhancement Crystal] on [Hourglass of Time]? Please note that this is a Platinum item, with only a 1% chance of successfully upgrading its quality."
"Yes."
The crystal in his hand suddenly shattered, turning into countless bright spots that merged into the hourglass.
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the effect range of [Hourglass of Time] increased by 50%."
Xia Zhi was not surprised by this, given the extremely high failure rate of 99%.
The hidden effect of the [Enhancement Crystal] was also triggered. Although it looked pretty good, it wasn't the result he wanted.
It's okay, we can try again.
Xia Zhi turned the hourglass upside down.
Turn back time.
Countless bright spots flew out of the hourglass and reformed into a sparkling rhomboid stone.
"Use [Enhancement Crystal] on [Hourglass of Time]? Please note that this is a Platinum item, with only a 1% chance of successfully upgrading its quality."
"Yes."
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the charging time of the [Hourglass of Time] is increased by 15%."
Again.
"Evolution failed, but a random enhancement was obtained - the cost of the [Hourglass of Time] effect is reduced by 20%."
……
I tried to strengthen it six times in a row, and all of them failed.
At this point, the sands of time in the [Hourglass of Time] are almost gone, making it impossible to reverse time again; it needs to wait to be recharged.
Xia Zhi put away the [Enhancement Crystal] and the [Hourglass of Time], preparing to continue trying tomorrow.
Although the success rate is only 1%, as long as the number of attempts is high enough, evolution is guaranteed to succeed.
Then he will be able to own his third diamond item.
The only downside is that there are no Enhancement Crystals for sale in the Shop, and we don't know if we'll be able to get this good item again in the future.
Next, it's time to test the value of the "Poison Master" effect in [Shadow Hand].
Grandmaster is a level higher than master.
Xia Zhi is now a "Spice Master", "Massage Master", and "Culinary Master". He became these masters using a silver experience book worth 10 points.
If he wants to go further in these areas, he will need to use a gold experience book worth 100 points to become a "Spice Master", "Massage Master", and "Culinary Master".
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then opened the [Shop], spent 3 points to buy the raw materials for [Joyful Incense], and spent another 8 points to buy several other materials containing special toxicity. Then he took out the [Blazing Incense Burner] and began to blend and refine the ingredients.
Before long, a beautiful, pale green incense stick was poured out of the [Burning Incense Burner].
【Perfect Pleasure Aromatherapy】
Quality: Silver.
Type: Consumable.
Features: None.
Effects: This special incense, made from a burning incense burner, has been specially modified to cleverly eliminate toxicity while greatly enhancing its original euphoric effects. It can corrupt hearts and confuse spirits.
Hidden effects: Burning duration increased by 60%, and the effect of Fallen Pleasure increased by 60%.
Buyback price: 10 point.
Xia Zhi carefully examined the item information. It had changed from the original [Joyful Incense] to [Pleasant Incense]. Although the refining cost had increased from 3 points to 11 points, the quality had also changed from black iron to silver, resulting in a 10-fold increase in the recycling price.
Xia Zhi checked the system log again.
"Using the [Blazing Incense Burner] once, successfully crafted [Joyful Incense], consuming 20 points of Spirit Power."
As expected, the consumption of mental energy also increased by 3 times.
Overall, however, the speed at which you can earn points by crafting [Pleasure Incense] is much faster than before.
Previously, the material cost was 3 points, which could produce about 10-12 servings of [Joyful Incense]. It could be completed in one day, with a daily net income of 7-9 points.
The current material cost is 11 points, which can produce about 10-12 servings of [Joyful Incense]. It will take three days to complete the production, with a daily net income of 30-36 points.
Great, the minimum living allowance has increased again!
Xia Zhi refined two more pieces of [Perfect Pleasure Incense], but feeling somewhat tired, he stopped making them.
Remembering the gift Yan Fei had given him, he opened the small bag and saw a beautiful glasses case containing a pair of black glasses with obsidian-rimmed lenses. The lenses looked like obsidian and were of much higher quality than the ones he was currently wearing; they must have been quite expensive.
Xia Zhi tried them on and found them very comfortable.
Miss Yanfei is very thoughtful.
I should treat her to tofu more often in the future.
Chapter 121 Hurry up and call me Auntie
Although she was busy all day and felt physically and mentally exhausted, Xia Zhi still went to the dream world to collect materials as usual in the evening.
Perhaps it's because of the Lunar Festival, but Xia Zhi noticed that most of the dream bubbles people in Liyue City were having tonight were warm-colored.
He traveled through different dreams and eventually managed to collect more than 20 Dream Flowers.
It's pointless, since the recycling price for black iron materials is always 1 point.
The next morning, Xia Zhi got up, first concocted a [Joyful Incense], then put on his new glasses and went downstairs to wash up.
"Boss, are these the glasses Miss Yanfei gave you?"
"Yeah, how are you feeling?"
“It’s pretty!”
"We seem to have quite a bit of food left over from last night, right?"
"Yes, Miss Shenhe helped freeze it! It won't spoil!"
"Then let's eat at home for breakfast, what do you guys think?"
"Okay!"
"You've left quite a bit of food, haven't you?"
"Ok!"
"Let me think, how about I make some golden fried rice with eggs and heat up a couple of leftovers? Zhu Zi, come help me start the fire."
"it is good!"
--
Yujingtai.
Gan Yu got up very early today, ran two laps around the square, had a simple breakfast at her usual shop, and then went to Yuehaiting's office.
The table was piled high with various documents, making it look rather messy.
Gan Yu frowned slightly, walked closer, and saw three female figures sleeping on the table.
"You've heard everything... you know everything... you're all sleeping here."
"Ugh...who?..."
It was a painful sound, clearly from someone who hadn't woken up properly.
One of them raised her head, struggling to open her sleepy eyes. Then, she stared at the figure standing in front of her, stunned, her expression turning incredulous.
"Miss Gan... Miss Gan Yu!... You're back!?"
"Ah."
"Great!!! You two, wake up!"
"What (ooh)..."
Two more painful sounds came from someone who was clearly still half asleep.
"Miss Gan Yu is back!"
"Stop dreaming."
