The owner, whose code name is as strange as the name of the shop, is Dog Thirteen, and he is a terrible old man who looks like he is 60 years old, with scruffy hair and layers of black fumes all over his clothes, giving off an extremely unpleasant smell.

It's even scruffier than a homeless man in reality.

Shen Xu endured the discomfort and stepped forward to say hello to Dog 13. When Shen Xu explained his intention, the dog 13 didn't lift his head, and pointed to a cabinet on the east side with his greasy hand.

"Pick it yourself, over there."

Shen Xu came to the cabinet, if it weren't for the instruction of Dog 13, Shen Xu wouldn't even know that this was a glass display case.

Spraying the prepared detergent on the glass cabinet, Shen Xu saw the contents clearly, there were more than a dozen things in it, but only two of them could provide him with mana.

Rating: 59

The price given by the shopkeeper is very high, the mana storage scroll costs 3,000 bonds, and the philosopher's stone requires a soul crystal (small), Shen Xu has no choice but to pay.

Although the Philosopher's Stone is expensive, it can be reused, no, it can also be used 14 times, but it is a trouble to inject energy every time.

After purchasing, Shen Xu and Dog 13 negotiated the price, and the mana of the Philosopher's Stone was injected by him, and Shen Xu had to give him 1000 Dream Bonds every time he injected it.

Back in the exclusive room, Shen Xu began to produce.

[Detects that you are running low on materials, whether to consume 300 bonds instead of materials.] 】

Shen Xu chose to replace.

After starting the production, Shen Xu realized how difficult it was to make it.

He replaced it with the mana in the Philosopher's Stone, and after an hour, after spending 100 energy points, he only succeeded twice, with a success rate of only 20%.

Shen Xu looked at the finished product.

【Elementary Water Curtain Tianhua】

Type: Disposable consumables

Quality: Grey

Effect: Within the perception range, you can consume 1 energy value to activate the scroll at any time, after the scroll is activated, a water curtain with a range of 5 meters will appear, the water curtain exists for 5 seconds, and immediately after activation, it will cause 50 damage and 5% deceleration to the enemy who touches it, and then the water curtain will cause damage and deceleration stacking every 1.2 seconds to enemies who are still in the range of the water curtain, up to 4 stacks, and can cause up to 20% deceleration and 200 damage. The slow lasts for 10 seconds.

Rating: 8

Price: 500 Dream Bonds.

If the finished product made with this success rate is taken out and sold, it will definitely be a loss of underwear.

But Shen Xu didn't care, not that he could afford it, but that he already had experience in making items, this was the first time he had come into contact with making items, and the low success rate was easy to understand.

Exhausting the remaining 100 points of energy in the Philosopher's Stone, this time he made 6 finished products, the success rate has reached 60%, and the improvement speed is simply fast, Shen Xu believes that it will not take long for his speed to increase to more than 90%, and 100% if he is fully proficient.

He checked the proficiency level of the junior water curtain Tianhua, and he had reached LV.1 (8/10), and he would soon be able to upgrade to LV.2. He roughly estimated that it would take at least 92 primary scrolls to successfully make it to LV.10.

He had time to make it, but the mana value didn't allow it, which gave Shen Xu a headache.

Every time you have to buy mana, that's it, but there are still very few items similar to mana storage scrolls, and most of the mana recovery scrolls or items on the market are mana recovery scrolls or items, after all, the contractor himself has mana value, and there are not many people who can use mana to store scrolls.

When there is less demand, there will naturally be less market.

Shen Xu felt that it was necessary for him to cooperate with Xia He and ask her to help purchase the mana storage scrolls or items that appeared on the market.

It was impossible for him to spend most of his time searching, after all, after the end of each derivative world, the contractor only had 5 days to stay in the Dream Creation Space.

Shen Xu used up the remaining mana storage scrolls to make 25 primary scrolls, with a success rate of more than 80%, and now all his mana storage items have been used up, but his proficiency has also reached LV.4 (3/10)

Sending the Philosopher's Stone to Dog 13, it cost him 3,000 points to buy the Mana Storage Scroll, and another 15,000 bonds to make the primary scroll, and now he only has 10,000 Dream Bonds.

Originally, he also wanted to use 20,000 point scrolls and two soul crystals (small) to increase his hunting control by two levels. Now it seems that he is running out of bonds, and he has to use the remaining bonds to buy essential items such as recovery items, and he has to pay to go to the arena.

Speaking of the arena, Shen Xu was also very interested. I've heard that there will be great rewards for the top 10 in the arena.

As for whether the information is accurate or not, just take a look at it.

Before coming to the arena, this time there were no defenders to stop it, and the arena had been upgraded.

[The contractor has reached the arena area, please select the purpose of your trip to challenge/watch the battle.] 】

[There is no fee for the challenge, 200 bonds are required to randomly watch the first-order battle, and 1,000 bonds are required to pay the designated first-order battle, and the contracted person who is watching the battle can get 10% of the admission fee.] 】

Shen Xu was naturally here to challenge, he wanted to see how strong his strength was compared to other contractors.

Although he didn't know how many first-order contractors there were, according to his guess, his current strength should be able to rank in the top 1,000 of the first order.

[Detected that the contractor is participating in the arena for the first time and is randomly matching you with an opponent.] 】

[Your opponent is Casa, ranked 36844]

[Matched, teleporting to the arena.] 】

There was a fluctuation in space, Shen Xu was in an arena with a diameter of 100 meters, the arena was like a frying pan for stir-frying at home, the bottom of the pot was the ring he was in, and the side of the pot was a row of dense seats and boxes, if the seats and boxes were filled, it would be enough to accommodate at least 10,000 people.

At this time, there is no one in these seats and boxes, and most of the people who come to the arena to watch are purposeful, and the most popular is the top ten.

For example, if 10,000 people are designated to watch the battle in first place at the same time, each spectator will receive 100 bonds for the contractor of the battle, and 10,000 people will receive 1 million bonds, depending on the division between the Dream Space and the contractor.

It's a rag rush!

Of course, this is almost unlikely, especially among the first-order contractors, although the base is not small, there are very few who are willing to spend a thousand bonds to watch others fight.
