Chapter 27: The Way of Forging (2)
This female player's forging success rate is indeed higher than that of NPC forgers, but unfortunately, there is always a name for "unfortunate" in the world, even in this death game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is precisely because of this that there is a living space for the face fighter, the red hand king.
In the same way, even if the proficiency level is high in SAO, the success rate of weapon enhancement will not reach 100%. Even if the probability of failure is 30%, the probability of two consecutive failures is 9 percent, the probability of three consecutive defeats is 3 percent, and the probability of four consecutive defeats in tragedy is 0.8 percent. It is possible to achieve such an event with a very small probability of occurring. There really is no other explanation than to describe it as a black African with black hands and a black face.
You can't blame the government for your hard life, and you can only blame yourself for your black hands. This is basically a common principle in online games, but in this death game, players are completely ignoring this principle and completely ignoring the previous axiom due to the neutralization of the weapons in their hands and the desire for survivability. Hence the commotion.
"What the hell, this commotion." Inadvertently, such a whispering voice came from the right side, and hearing this familiar voice, Zheng Shuanglong instinctively looked to the right.
Standing there was a slender slender sword envoy. White leather tunic and pale green leather leggings. It is equipped with a silver cuirass. At first glance, it looks as refreshing as a fairy that shouldn't exist in Ayn Grant, but the rustic cloak he wears from head to waist completely shatters this impression. This is not necessary in the first place. If she takes off her cloak and reveals her long chestnut hair and fairy-like beauty, she will surely attract the attention of the surrounding tourists.
This, isn't it just to follow Claire and the others to attack Asuna in the labyrinth area. How are you standing here now? Could it be that today's strategy is over like this, it's too early.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was a little puzzled, said calmly: "It seems to be a ...... caused by the triangle man's strengthened sword."
"Huh!? Captain, aren't you going to take Argo to level up today, what? Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, Asuna exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm supposed to ask, shouldn't you be exploring the labyrinth area with Claire and the others today?! It's only less than four o'clock now, and I'm back so early, I'm lazy! Looking at Asuna's surprised eyes, Zheng Shuanglong shook his finger and said with a fake serious face.
"Well, I'm sorry, Captain, because there are other things, so we're back early, well, for that...... Ah, sorry, Claire won't let us say! Faced with Zheng Shuanglong's question, Asuna apologized with a red face.
Facing Asuna's embarrassed eyes, Zheng Shuanglong coughed lightly, spread his hands lightly, and said a little helplessly: "Girls have a little secret of their own, which is understandable, so be it." I don't take it seriously. The mind has been tense for more than a month, and it is understandable to take a little rest. ”
"Well, let's continue to enjoy this interesting dispute, Asuna." Nodding understandingly, Zheng Shuanglong pointed to the commotion in the arena that was still unfinished, and said with great interest.
"Yes, Captain." Seeing that Zheng Shuanglong was not serious, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a smile.
In short, after peacefully resolving the lazy incident, Zheng Shuanglong briefly explained the matter of the forging house that still attracted the attention of many people.
"The commotion seems to be that the triangular helmet man commissioned the forger to strengthen his sword, but after four consecutive defeats, the value returned to +0, which made his blood surge. Well, I also understand his feelings, four consecutive defeats. With such a black face, even Africans can't compare to it! Gee! Zheng Shuanglong joked wickedly.
After listening to Zheng Shuanglong, Asuna loosened her shoulders a little, and expressed her opinion a little puzzled. "There is a possibility of failure, and the client should know this. Didn't that smith post the success rate of all the weapons in the store? In addition, if it fails, only the cost of the enhanced material will be charged, and the handling fee will not be charged. ”
"Eh, really? It's really a conscientious vendor......" Hearing Asuna's words, Zheng Shuanglong seriously looked at the figure of the small female forging player who had been keeping his head down, originally just wanted to see the lively Zheng Shuanglong, but now he has three percent sympathy for this little female forging master.
People with a conscience, people with a good heart, and people who know how to give will always make people feel good.
Looking at the little forger, Zheng Shuanglong pondered whether to drag him into the Void Brigade, such a conscientious person, can he leave it alone. Zheng Shuanglong, who was thinking like this, said casually: "Probably, at the beginning of the initial failure, he was already hot-headed again, and once again the commission was strengthened." As soon as the mind is congested, it will work hard, and most gamblers are like this......"
"What a sentimental comment. Head! Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, who had such a bad taste, Asuna said with a wry smile. Asuna didn't know what to say to such a leader.
"No, nothing, just a general comment." Zheng Shuanglong smiled playfully.
"Well, I think he's a little pitiful, but it's not so exciting, as long as you save enough money for materials, you can challenge again." Asuna, who is still a little lacking in the common sense of the game, is puzzled.
"Well, no, it's impossible to challenge again." Looking at Asuna, Zheng Shuanglong said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Asuna tilted her head slightly, opened her eyes wide, and asked puzzled.
Looking at Asuna, who tilted her head and was particularly cute and cute, Zheng Shuanglong pointed to the love sword [Angel Heart +7] hanging behind him with his thumb, and explained: "That triangle man's sword, like mine, is a first-layer gem, and he also worked hard to strengthen the sword to +4 through the NPC forge house." Well, so far, it's almost all successful. However, the success rate decreases from +5 onwards, so it's up to the player to do it. Then it was done initially once, and it failed, and the value dropped to +3. In order to increase the value back, I tried again, but failed again and dropped to +2. Repeat the previous steps after that. The third and fourth attempts all failed, and it became +0, which should be the case. ”
"However, from here on, it shouldn't go down again, as long as you continue to work towards +5......" At this point, Asuna seemed to understand what Zheng Shuanglong was about to say, and the hazel pupils hidden in the cloak widened slightly. In this way, [Enhancement Attempts]. Even if it's a gem of the first layer, try the upper limit, it's ......"
"Eight times. That is, four successes plus four failures have been used up. Now that sword can no longer be strengthened. Zheng Shuanglong took Asuna's words with a smile and said.
That's what's terrible about the weapon enhancement system in SAO. In this world, a variety of equipment that can be strengthened is set with the attribute of [Enhancement Attempt Limit]. That's not the maximum number of possible enhancements. It's a number of how many reinforcements can be attempted. For example, the maximum number of attempts for a newbie weapon equipped at the beginning is only once, and if it fails, the sword will definitely not go up to +1.
What's even more disgusting is that the success rate of enhancement depends to some extent on the number of points that the owner has worked hard to operate. It is a matter of course to find a forger with advanced kung fu, and the more luxurious the materials necessary for enhancement, the higher the success rate.
Typically, player forges use cheap enhancement materials with a 70% success rate. If the client wants to increase the success rate, they must pay for the items or collect them themselves.
Therefore, if there is anything that should be condemned about that triangle man, it should be when he is hot-headed, and he has continuously strengthened it later. If, after the first failure, take a deep breath to calm your mind and pay an additional sword to restore its original state. In this way, the precious one-handed sword will also avoid the tragic situation of becoming +0 and running out of attempts.
"I see. This one...... Indeed, I can understand his violent mood. Only a little bit. Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Asuna nodded, and finally understood.
However, understanding is understanding, this triangle man's behavior is not very good, they are all adults, and they have full civil capacity, so they should naturally be responsible for their own choices.
It is this triangle man who asks for strengthening, and it is also the triangle man who chooses this female forger, and it is also this triangle man who uses the cheapest enhancement materials to cause the success rate of reinforcement to be only seventy percent, in this case, what else can I complain about.
Of course, because it's a death game, and because this sword is important for improving the player's survivability, even unreasonable madness can be understood by some people, but this is just to make some people pity and pity. As for the rest, there is nothing at all.
Just when Zheng Shuanglong couldn't stand the fact that this triangle man was bullying this little forging master, the voice of the man who had been shouting there suddenly stopped. As far as the eye could see, it was the man's two companions who had arrived. The two put their hands on both sides of his shoulders and tried their best to persuade: "I said, it's okay, just start over." Starting today, we will help you with the [Annealing Sword] mission. ”
"Just work hard for a week, let's work towards +8 this time."
Oh, now it only takes a week to rely on three people. If only I had known this earlier. Also, don't gamble next time. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng Shuanglong complained in his heart: "However, isn't it three days, when did it become a week." ”
Finally, under the persuasion of his friends, the triangle man finally regained his composure, and left the square with his shoulders slumped. After all, he didn't take advantage of it in the first place, and he went crazy with the forger, but because of this kind of thing, he really couldn't accept it. However, it is really ungraceful to be angry with a girl like this.
At this time, behind him, the female forger who had been silent and was scolded cowered and said, "That, it's really, I'm sorry." Next time, I'm really, really going to try...... Ah, really, maybe you won't entrust me anymore......"
The triangle man who stopped, looked at the forger, changed his tone, and said in a weak voice: "It's not your fault, I'm really sorry for saying so much about you just now......"
"No, that's my business...... "The female blacksmith who clasped her hands in front of the leather apron and kept nodding her head downwards looked like she was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. If you look closely, it's a girl about the size of Asuna. With pink hair and a red leather skirt, although she is not as cute and beautiful as Asuna, she is also a girl worthy of everyone's pursuit in SAO, which is a scarce female player.
The forge took a step forward, bowed his head deeply again, and said, "That, I think I have to apologize for this matter, this, it is because of me that the annealing sword ended in +0, if you don't dislike it, let me buy that sword with eight thousand kolls......"
Speaking of this, the female forger's face couldn't help but twitch, eight thousand kers, for her is not a small number, it is also nerve-wracking.
Noisy...... The people around who were watching the excitement shouted, and Zheng Shuanglong also glanced at the female forging master in surprise.
According to the current market, the new [Annealing Sword] +0 that has just been purchased as a task reward is about 16,000 kolls. Although it is only half the price of 8,000 koles, but the sword that is also +0, the triangle man has already used up the number of attempts, and I am afraid that the market price will be half discounted on these 8,000, that is, 4,000 kore. As an apology, this price is also an exception.
It's really too responsible. This made Zheng Shuanglong want to drag her into the Void Brigade even more. After all, as a man who wants to attack the 100th floor of SAO, it is not enough to rely on Xi Li as a forger.
Hearing the words of the female forger, the triangle man and his companions stayed for a while, and after looking at each other, they slowly nodded together.
The chain of events finally came to an end, and the trio, as well as the onlookers, disappeared into the square, and the blacksmith's hammer sounded again. The blacksmith who set up the stall once again forged the weapon on the anvil.
Seeing that the matter was over, Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna sat down on the bench opposite the circular square. I took a hard look at this lovely blacksmith.
Originally, Zheng Shuanglong didn't plan to stay in the square for so long, Argo was shopping for a maze adventure, and it was already very unreasonable for him to be lazy here to watch the excitement. Now after watching the excitement, you should leave quickly.
However, since I met this interested female forger, I naturally had to observe more, and according to her previous performance, there should be no problem.
However, it is better to observe more. After all, the Void Brigade isn't accessible to everyone. (To be continued.) )
