Chapter 4: The Secret Elixir of Goblins

The style of the synthetic panel is very delicate, with a huge bronze stone door, full of complex and mysterious depression patterns, and at the intersection of the lines, there will be grooves the size of a fist.

Although it looks bells and whistles, it is simple to use.

As soon as you drop a card or material that needs to be crafted into a groove, the system will give you a hint for crafting.

You need to spend 10 Card Points each time.

"I was injured by the black-haired corpse, the claw marks on my two arms were visible bones, and three ribs were broken, and the most serious was the corpse poison that invaded the body."

"The external injuries were severe, but they did not hurt the internal organs, and the wild strawberries could only recover from the internal organs."

"Four cards won't work for me, and crafting them is the best option."

Zhao Wen unbuttoned the hospital gown, revealing the white bandage that wrapped around his whole body, and the whole person looked like a mummy.

The injury was really serious.

But because of the cards, Blue Star's medical level is far better than that of Earth, so ordinary flesh injuries, as long as they are not killed on the spot, can be quickly healed.

In a way, the injury is not serious.

Corpse poison, this is the most lethal injury, ordinary civilian doctors, there is no way to cure the extremely infectious zombie poison, and the transcendent attribute can only be shot by the card master of the healing department.

Not only can the card master fight, but there are all kinds of strange abilities that have penetrated almost every aspect of Blue Star.

This subversively changed the social structure of Blue Star and formed a system with card masters as the aristocratic class.

[The crafting panel has been opened, please complete the card synthesis as soon as possible.] 】

I'm in a hurry, I'll wait a little longer, do you have the ability to change someone to bind?

The system suddenly prompted, which made Zhou Wen very unhappy.

When I was a child, it was too hot, and I went to the store freezer to pick up ice cream, and was anxiously urged by the boss to say that it would cost electricity.

Thinking so, Zhao Wen's attention still fell on the synthesis panel.

Once crafted, the bronze gate will open to both sides, introducing new cards that have been crafted.

If the synthesis fails, the bronze gate will not move at all, only black smoke and a pile of black powder will be emitted, and the materials and cards will not be returned.

It was originally a money game, and Zhao Wen, who was mentally prepared in advance, didn't get too entangled when he saw the words "not returning the cards".

Three wild strawberry cards, and one flax fruit were tossed into the crafting groove.

[Wild strawberries have been placed in a groove, and the groove attribute: forged.] 】

[Wild strawberries have been placed in a groove, and the groove attribute: flame.] 】

[The flax fruit has been placed in the groove, and the groove property: frozen.] 】

The grooves light up in all directions, and a bright white light follows the lines, connecting the grooves together.

[Crafting direction: healing cards, success chance: 30%. 】

[Do you spend 10 card points to get a secret recipe to increase your probability of success?] 】

The corners of Zhao Wen's mouth twitched, he asked for money before he synthesized, you are really black!

However, the 30% probability of success is indeed too low, and it is basically a probability of failure in the game.

But.

This also made me understand that the grooves on the bronze doors are not decoration, and each groove has different properties.

Synthesis is not the same as in the game, it is thrown into it and directly kneaded into a ball, and then the white light flashes.

It has a process, or step, of synthesis.

Throwing a card into a forge groove will forge the card when crafting, and similarly, the freeze groove will apply freeze.

"It's a ...... trouble"

Zhao Wen tinkered for a long time, and the four cards changed positions back and forth, but the maximum probability of success could only be increased to 47%.

Isn't a 47% probability equal to giving money for nothing?

I had no choice but to pay money and consume 10 card points in exchange for the secret recipe.

The card points were deducted, and the bronze stone door lit up with a dazzling light, at least five times brighter than the fluorescent light that was not charged.

[Secret recipe obtained: Put in black iron wool, gray water vines, and put it into the crushing groove......]

"I don't have anything you said, but you can try to change the position of the groove!"

According to the secret recipe, Zhao Wen swapped the grooves of wild strawberries and flax fruits.

Sure enough, the probability of success increased to 73%.

However, because there are no auxiliary materials on the secret recipe, the 100% success rate is not reached.

The crafting system is very sweet, and you can continue to consume points to get additional crafting recipes.

Bah! Black-hearted system.

Zhao Wen will never compromise, and the seventy percent chance of synthesis is enough to give himself the confidence to fight.

He clenched his hands, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Synthesis!" ”

Airplanes.

The bronze stone door shook violently, and with a click of mechanism, the groove erupted into different halos, melting the cards into streams of light and pouring down the groove into the center of the bronze stone door.

The light is dazzling, and the sound is resounding.

Click!

A crisp sound was heard.

Zhao Wen's heart was pinched, worried that it was the sound of cards shattering.

Soon, though, the worry turned into a surprise.

The bronze stone door slowly opened as if it had been sealed for thousands of years, and the gray-white stone powder fell, and a card wrapped in blue fluorescent light was quietly suspended in the center of the stone door.

Zhao Wen stretched out his hand and grabbed it, the blue light shattered, and the card suddenly fell into his hand.

Freshly baked, hot, and still warm.

It worked!

Give it a go, turn your bike into a motorcycle!

Zhao Wen rubbed carefully, carefully observing the blue card in his hand.

The card's pattern is a wooden vessel held by a green claw, resembling a semicircular bowl containing a bright red liquid.

【Goblin Elixir】

Type: Potion card.

Quality: Blue top grade.

Effect: Magical Stimulation (Passive) - After taking it, the magical power in the secret medicine will stimulate the brain, with a 2% chance of causing mutation (limited to the goblin race), and increasing mental power by 1~3 points.

Synopsis: In order to grow the group, the goblin wizard will order the mentally retarded goblins to collect their favorite wild strawberries, mix various materials, and inject magical power to make a secret medicine that can stimulate the brain.

"Good stuff!"

Zhao Wen looked surprised after reading the card attributes.

Four discarded cards, exchange for a card that can improve mental power, and definitely earn blood!

According to the price of Qingyang City.

The monthly salary of ordinary civilian occupations fluctuates around one hundred federal points, and the slightly rarer civilian occupations will not exceed two hundred monthly salaries.

The price of a regular white card is 90 points.

It's equivalent to an entire month's salary that ordinary people save money on, which is only enough to buy a white card.

The price of wild strawberries is in this range.

Then there are the blue cards, which will directly increase their value by ten times, nearly a thousand Federation points, enough for ordinary people to save a year's salary.

On the other hand, cards that improve physical performance are generally the most expensive cards of the same quality.

A card of blue quality, which can increase mental power, and has a chance to mutate the goblin, as long as it appears in the auction house of Qingyang City, the price will not be less than three thousand.

"That's ...... so"

Zhao Wen is holding a mobile phone in his hand, and there is a search engine on the screen, which is what he is learning.

"I'm short of money right now, but the auction houses are all real-name systems, and I can't explain the source of blue cards with rare attributes on the shelves."

Zhao Wen rubbed the cards and groaned in his heart.

Obviously, selling cards can make a bigger profit, but you'll also be targeted.

Blue Star is not peaceful.

Monsters are rampant, and alien forces are rampant, trying to infiltrate the Blue Star at any time, resulting in a relatively strict censorship system.

A poor student whose parents are both civilians and both of them have died, suddenly pulls out a blue card, although it will not attract a lot of attention, but with the help of the system, this is certainly not the last time, and it will be noticed after a long time.

Use it yourself.

Zhao Wen thought for a moment and decided to use the cards himself.

He stooped down from the bedside table and pulled out a slightly worn card.

【Energy Cards】

Type: Item card

Quality: Grey top grade

Effect 1: Charge (Active) - Provides 30 Source Power to the user.

Introduction: Qingyang City No. 9 energy card production line.

This is the card left over from the original parents.

Zhao Wen opened the search engine again and began to embrace the knowledge of the other world.

In order to use cards, you must consume source power.

Before becoming a card master, the source power in the body of ordinary people was extremely weak, and it could not reach the level of using cards.

So.

If ordinary people want to use cards, they must replenish their body with source power before they can use the abilities of cards.

Figurative words.

Just like the blue bar of the game character, the blue bar of ordinary people is empty and cannot be automatically recovered, and the [Energy Card] is a blue medicine, which can temporarily replenish the source power.

The producer of the [Energy Card] is Donghai Technology, a world-class large enterprise with power all over the world, although it is only a company, but its internal strength can even crush some small countries with few resources.

After the cards appeared, the world changed dramatically.

The Blue Star forces have undergone a major reshuffle, with many forces taking advantage of the situation to divide power, and small countries have been completely reduced to alternative colonies of large powers.

However, the country that was already strong not only did not languish, but went further.

For example, the former Guxia Kingdom has now become the Kyushu Federation.

In addition to the original vast territory, it also included various integrated territories to form a multi-regional federation.

Qingyang City, where Zhao Wen is currently located, is one of the Federations.

A city of this size, there are nearly a thousand large and small cities around the ancient Xia Kingdom, which are generally managed by the dispatched city lords, local wealthy clans, or foreign clans after surrendering.

As for why not stationing troops, it is completely governed?

There is no need.

There was once a local wealthy clan colluding with forces from different spaces to try to cause chaos, and the military of the ancient Xia Kingdom sent only five people to sweep through the entire central city and the surrounding affiliated small cities, and no one could stop them.

In the transcendent world, the power of one person can resist thousands of troops.

"It's okay to tear it open, right?"

According to the method described on the search engine, Zhao Wen tore the [Energy Card] in half.

An extremely faint stream of energy flowed out of the energy card, injected into his right hand, and then dispersed throughout his body.

It's an amazing feeling.

Zhao Wen could feel an extra stream of heat in his body that he could control, he picked up the card of [Goblin's Secret Elixir], and then manipulated the heat flow in his body to touch the card.

Bang!

The card shattered into countless points of light, and a wooden vessel identical to the one in the pattern landed in his hand.

Rough, raw.

The blood-colored liquid in the bowl had a fishy smell, and a faint smell of wild strawberries could be faintly smelled, like rotten things that had been left out for a long time.

It is very much in line with Zhao Wen's impression of the goblin tribe.

When the goblin wizard made it, he definitely didn't consider the taste, after all, who cares about the taste of goblins who have a bad brain and wield a big stick and mallet all day long, eating raw meat.

"You won't have diarrhea after drinking, right?"

Zhao Wen swallowed his saliva, pinched his nose, and brought the bowl to his mouth and sucked it violently.

Goo!

This is two hundred federal points......

Goo!

The second bite is seven hundred ......

A thousand!

Zhao Wen felt that his stomach was about to cramp, but he still endured the nausea, drank it cleanly, and licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Zhao Wen glanced at the paper next to him, and instead of wiping his mouth, he stretched out his tongue and circled it, licking all the remaining secret medicines.

It's all money, and wasting is not a good habit.

At this moment, the wise sayings of countless ancestors who were diligent and thrifty appeared in their minds.

"My mental power ......"

Zhao Wen smashed his mouth twice, opened his arms, and muttered in a low voice.

Didn't feel anything.

Just when he wondered if it was a fake medicine, a hot breath surged up from his body.

It was as if a fire had been lit in his stomach, and the raging heat was transmitted to the limbs and bones, and then converged into a stream of heat, and finally poured up the spine into the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

"Hoo ......"

Zhao Wen gasped, and the breath he exhaled was hot and formed a white mist, and his whole face turned the color of wild strawberries.

Thankfully, card data says that non-goblin races can't mutate, otherwise he would have thought he'd evolved.

Half-hour.

The power contained in the secret medicine is gradually digested, and the heat flow in the body is weakened, and the flushing fades.

Zhao Wen pulled the bed to the window, pushed it open, and let the cool breeze blow on his body to dissipate the remaining heat.

He was sweating profusely, his fine black hair sticking to his forehead, gently blown by the wind, and his eyes drifted out of the window.

Tower-like tall buildings, tall buildings are continuous.

Parks, residential buildings, commercial areas, all kinds of facilities, with the power of cards, Qingyang City's infrastructure even surpasses the earth's first-tier cities.

There are also many special buildings that have only been seen in movies.

All made of brass, the shape resembles a mechanical fortress, with bursts of gray-white smoke, towering pavilions with four corners of cornices, and stone pillars straight as swords soaring into the sky......

Zhao Wen has all this in his sights.

He can perceive changes in his body, he can see farther, his five senses are sharper, and his spirit is uplifted, as if he can go three days and three nights without sleeping.

Compared to the present.

The previous mental state seemed to be two all-nighters.

Zhao Wen opens the properties panel.

【Zhao Wen】

Rank: None

Attributes: Physique 5.4, Mental 6.9 (Attributes are muscle density, bone strength, nerve reactions, mental strength, etc., 5 points for standard Blue Star humans.) )

Card Points: 30.

"I've improved my spirit by two points, and it's okay."

Zhao Wen nodded.

How much mental power can be increased by the secret medicine depends on luck, and 1.7 mental power is not a loss, it belongs to the middle number.

"My current spiritual attributes, in the entire Qingyang Nine Middle School, should be able to rank in the middle of the stream."

Zhao Wen closed his eyes and combed through the messy picture clips.

After reaching 6.9 points of mental power, the memories that caused severe pain after contact were gone, and he picked out useful content and digested it.

What I care about most now is the knowledge related to card masters.

"Children's Card Lecture Hall" can no longer satisfy his sponge-like heart of absorbing knowledge!
