Chapter 609: Fanning the Flames
Mu You and Lu Yao are also old acquaintances, they have cooperated many times before, they have a high degree of trust in each other, and they don't have so many scruples when talking about business, so they settled down after a simple discussion.
Mu You entrusted this batch of goods to Lu Yao, and after selling, Lu Yao charged a 10% commission for each product.
At noon that day, Lu Yao rushed to the pet store and packed the prepared goods and took them away.
An hour later, the first batch of merchandise was already hanging in the Flame Man's shop.
The rest of Mu You doesn't have to worry about it, just be the shopkeeper and wait to collect the money.
At this time, in the pet shop, as the useless props were taken away, all that was left on the ground was materials.
Mu You picked up some of the materials, picked out a few 5-star materials, and sent them to the game.
γYou have put Vampire Flannel*1 and Black Chicken Bone*5 into the Crafting Furnace.γ γ
[The phase of the material is 11.2%, the material grade is too low, there is a great probability of failure, even if it succeeds, it is difficult to obtain effective improvement, whether to continue synthesis?] γ
"Is the 5-star material really not working......" Mu You sighed.
He had guessed before that the current Poison Velvet Knife was already a 6-star prop, and it was likely that it could no longer be synthesized with 5-star materials, and now this has been confirmed.
Of course, he can first synthesize 5-star materials into 6-star materials, and then continue to improve, but every six parts of the same material can be combined with a higher-level material, and the more than 1,000 materials in front of him will instantly shrink to two hundred, which is really a bit of a waste, it is better to synthesize it directly with 6-star materials.
Mu You picked up another six-star material, there are 245 copies of six-star materials, there are not many types, only five kinds of alien beast materials, four to sixty copies of each, if you are not lucky, it should be enough to advance twice.
Mu You looked at the effects of the five materials in turn, pondered for a moment, and quickly selected two of them.
[Moonlight Mantis: A material produced by the 6-star creature 'Moonlight Mantis'. The Moonlight Mantis is a kind of carnivorous beast that lives in the forest and is active at night, with a small body, extremely fast, and long-range attack ability, after swinging the mantis knife, it can cut out a white crescent-shaped knife qi in front of it, so it is named the Moonlight Mantis ......]
[Flying Owl Beak: A material produced by the 6-star creature 'Flying Owl'. The Flying Owl is a vicious bird that eats crustaceans, with a sharp beak that can easily gouge through the hard shells of those crustaceans, so as to ingest the delicate flesh hidden in the shell......]
The other three materials actually have special materials for weapons, and the reason why Mu You chose these two is because he likes the ability of their bodies.
Although Mu You couldn't see the results of the synthesis in advance through backtracking, according to the experience of the first two synthesis, the final synthesis effect was obviously related to the characteristics of the alien beast to which the material belonged.
For example, if you put in the spider web gland, you will finally synthesize the ability to make spider webs, and the vampire tail needle will synthesize the ability to suck blood.
As expected, these two materials should also combine the abilities of 'Moonlight Mantis' and 'Flying Owl'.
Mu You sent all the two materials into the game and began to try.
[You put the Vampire Flask and Moonlight Mantis Knife*5 into the Crafting Furnace.] γ
[The phase of the material is 72%, there is a low probability of failure, is the synthesis confirmed?] γ
"Yes!"
[Synthesis successful!] Your Vampire Flannel has been upgraded slightly......]
β¦β¦
[Synthesis successful!] Ling's vampire flannel has been greatly upgraded! γ
[Moon Velvet (6.5 Stars): Divine Power +13, Divine Defense +3, Agility +25, Intelligence +20.
The moon velvet can slash out a crescent-shaped knife qi, fly up to 30 meters, absorb 15% of the damage caused by real life after hitting, and reduce the target's god defense by 1 point for 15 seconds.
Hit five times in a row, condensing a layer of viscous cobweb on the surface of the target's body. γ
"Sure enough!"
Mu You was overjoyed when he saw the result, and as expected, he combined the effect of the moonlight slash, so that the moon velvet knife had a long-range attack ability, not to mention that it was only 30 meters, but it was a qualitative change for this weapon!
Because the three effects of this knife, debuff, lifesteal, and slow, all need to hit the target with this knife in hand to take effect.
However, in actual combat, it is almost impossible to hit the opponent at close range, because the opponent will dodge, will escape, and it is easy to be killed by a kite if the speed is not enough.
And with a long-range attack, it's different, you can chase and slash while carrying a knife, as long as the distance is not more than 30 meters, you can hit again and again, which greatly improves the deterrence of this weapon!
The first material ended smoothly, Mu You struck while the iron was hot, and the second round of synthesis began.
γThrow the Moon Velvet and Flying Owl Beak *5 into the Crafting Furnace.γ γ
[The phase of the material is 43%, the phase is low, and there is a high probability of failure, is the synthesis confirmed?] γ
"Yes!"
[Failed to synthesize, you have lost the Beak of the Owl Bird*5......]
β¦β¦
[Failed ...... crafting]
β¦β¦
[Failed ...... crafting]
β¦β¦
The success rate of the second material is much lower than expected.
Having failed seven or eight times in a row, Mu You looked at the rapidly decreasing stock of bird beaks at hand, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, this material wouldn't be enough for promotion......
If the materials are used up and the promotion is not possible, then the promotion of the Moon Velvet Knife will be stuck on this material, and Mu You can only continue to search for the Flying Owl Beak until the upgrade is completed.
Otherwise, if you skip this material and continue to synthesize it directly, then this 6.5-star promotion will be equivalent to a waste, because after the weapon is upgraded to 7 stars, you can't go back and use 6-star materials to synthesize.
Fortunately, today's luck is not bad, when the bird's beak is about to run out of food, a success prompt finally pops up, and the first time is a big improvement!
γβ¦β¦ Synthesis successful! Your moon velvet has received a big upgrade! γ
[Moon Velvet (7 Stars): God's Power +15, God's Defense +3, Strength +20, Agility +25, Intelligence +20.]
The moon velvet can slash out a crescent-shaped knife qi, fly up to 30 meters, absorb 15% of the damage caused by real life after hitting, and reduce the target's god defense by 1 point for 15 seconds.
Hit five times in a row, condensing a layer of viscous cobweb on the surface of the target's body.
Velvet's attack will cause additional damage to armor, carapace, shield, and other armor or shells, and destroy 30 armor durability points per hit (armor durability will shatter when armor durability is cleared)]
"Not bad."
Mu You nodded after reading it, this upgrade of the bird's beak is equivalent to adding the 'armor-piercing' ability to this knife.
Many creatures in the real world are carapaceed, especially some turtle creatures that are known for their metamorphosis defense, and magic and attacks hit their turtle shells with zero damage, which are all ineffective attacks.
Among humanoid creatures such as Protoss, there are also many giants who are accustomed to wearing armor and holding shields, and when they encounter attacks, they can also use shields and armor to block, which can also greatly exempt damage.
Humans have not encountered this kind of giant yet, but it will be a matter of time before they encounter it in the future, and if there is no means of armor piercing, it will definitely be very uncomfortable, and it does not hurt to prepare armor-piercing weapons in advance now.
At the end of the synthesis, the effect of the two synthesis was good, and Mu You was very satisfied.
Today's moon velvet knife is already 7 stars, and you need 7-star materials to continue to improve, but at present, there are only a dozen 7-star materials at hand, and they are all in bulk, and you can't get together 5 of the same, so you can only stop first.
"7.5 stars, 8 stars, 8.5 stars, 9 stars......"
Mu You thought about it, if it wasn't surprising, the Moon Velvet Knife only had four chances to improve, and if he wanted to create a weapon that could really be used for a long time, he had to think clearly about every subsequent improvement before he started.
Mu You put away the remaining materials and returned to the game.
At this time, the entire crow tribe was still in the 'sequelae of theft', almost no one dared to set up stalls on the street, the streets were full of patrolling crow guards, Mu You tried to turn around a few times, but no matter where he went, there were people staring.
Finding that he couldn't start, Mu You simply prepared to leave the tribe and go to the forest to continue farming.
But just as I was about to leave, a prompt popped up in the game.
[Suddenly, you hear the sound of birds' hooves chirping in the mountains.] γ
[You incarnated into the form of a sparrowman, and quickly understood the meaning: "Boss, the patriarch of the crow people has been found, return quickly!] βγ
"Raven Patriarch ......" Mu You raised his eyebrows, but he was not too surprised. In the past three days, he has single-handedly stirred up the entire tribe, and the order of the entire tribe is about to collapse, and it would be strange if the crow patriarch did not react again.
At this time, the patriarch of the crow people came to the door, obviously looking for the bandits to ask for guilt.
It just so happens that this is a good opportunity to incite two antagonisms!
[You incarnated as the image of the leader of the bandits in the middle of nowhere, and rushed back to the bandit gathering place. γ
γβ¦β¦ You entered the underground 'Bandit House', and at this moment, in the huge room, there were already many bandits gathered, and in the depths of the room, the patriarch of the Raven Clan was standing by the wall with a cane, obviously waiting for a long time. γ
[Hearing you enter the house, the patriarch of the crow people turned around tremblingly, knocked on his crutches, and looked at you unhappily: "What's the recent theft?" No matter how ignorant you bandits are, there should be a limit, right? βγ
["What do you mean that we are ignorant? That's not what we did at all! "Before you could speak, a bandit brother next to him couldn't help but argue first. γ
["That is, we have been living in seclusion for the last few days, and we have not gone out hunting at all. "That's right......" The bandits echoed. γ
"It's not you, who is it? The patriarch frowned and asked. γ
["Of course it's a bandit from out of town! "You say. γ
["Bandits from other places? Is this a joke? Hearing this, the patriarch of the Raven Man sneered: "For me, there is no distinction between local and foreign bandits, this is your bandits' own internal problems, in short, as long as the bandits make mistakes in my tribe, you have to be responsible for dealing with it, and at the same time, you are also responsible for us to compensate for all losses!" βγ
"Why? "That is, why should we pay for it?" "It's not our people at all, we don't even know who the people who are coming...... " The bandits chattered. γ
["I said, how to deal with it is your business, I will give you a week to deal with your internal affairs, and let the Raven tribe restore stability, otherwise, the cooperation agreement we signed at the beginning will probably have to be reweighed......" The Raven Patriarch finally looked at you and spoke in an obvious threatening tone. γ
["What?!! When all the bandits heard this, they were instantly furious, and they glanced at each other, but they all knew it in their hearts. γ
[Many bandits were still suspicious of your guess before, but at this moment, the words of the crow patriarch seem to have completely confirmed your guess: the crows really had a premeditated plan to drive you away! γ
[Many bandits were furious, and they wanted to beat the crow patriarch to the ground on the spot, but fortunately they were stopped by your eyes in time, so they didn't have a seizure. γ
[After the patriarch of the crow people finished speaking, he shook his cane and left slowly. γ
[When passing by the door, a bandit next to him was not angry, and his right hand quietly moved, launching a theft ...... against the patriarch of the crow people]
[Unfortunately, the theft failed, and the Raven Patriarch turned his head violently and glared at the bandit. The bandit was caught red-handed, his face was pale, and he bowed his head in shame. γ
[The patriarch of the crow people did not pursue further, but just snorted coldly: "Let your people clean up their hands and feet!" It's really getting more and more presumptuous......" After saying that, he scolded and left the house. γ
Mu You frowned, this crow man patriarch is just an ordinary 6-star crow man, his strength is not strong, and because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, the difficulty of theft should not be high, and these bandits under him have been stealing all year round, and they have already been proficient in theft, so there should be such an obvious mistake......
Thinking of this, Mu You also manipulated the character and tried it.
[You used the invisible hand to remotely launch a theft ...... against the Raven Chief]
[The theft fails, the target seems to be guarded by special props, and your invisible hand will automatically dissipate when it approaches the opponent, and it is impossible to steal ......]
"Huh?" Mu You was stunned.
Special item guards?
If it was said that the theft rate was extremely low or something, he really didn't expect that the text would directly remind him that he couldn't steal.
So, are there really props that can absolutely prevent theft?
No wonder this old man is so fearless when he enters the bandit's den, and he has been prepared for daring......
When he came back to his senses, Mu You was a little interested in the props on the crow patriarch.
This unknown prop is equivalent to building a firewall, and he cannot penetrate the firewall to steal the divinity within the wall.
However, if you steal the 'firewall' itself, you should be able to steal normally, right?
Mu You secretly pondered.
Of course, this will not be possible until he merges with the power of the thief god.
[It wasn't until the Raven Patriarch walked away that the hall became noisy again.] γ
["Boss, you're really right, these crow people really plan to drive us away! βγ
["It seems that I have long colluded with bandits from other places......]
["Fortunately, the boss saw through it in advance, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark......"]
["Damn, these crows are too ...... to deceive people"]
["It's really good to bully ...... when we do"]
[The bandits are gossiping, each indignant, and finally they all look at you, waiting for you to make an idea. γ
["Boss, what are we going to do? Do you want to help them catch the foreign bandits? One asked. γ
["What's the use? Catch one, and there will be a steady stream of outsiders coming out later, can you catch it? What's more, if there is any troublemaker, if the crows want to drive us away, they can play a prison guard and steal and directly frame us. "You say. γ
[The crows scratched their heads in distress when they heard this, and they had no idea for a while. γ
["Boss, if we don't go directly, we don't have a place to stay here, we bandits have a lot of skills, where we can't eat, why do we have to stay in this ghost place to be angry? One person proposed. γ
["Of course we have to go, but we must not leave without saying a word, it's too cowardly. "You said 'indignantly'. γ
["Boss, what do you mean ......" There are already bandits who are vaguely aware of your intentions, and they suddenly become excited. γ
["Before leaving, we might as well steal it and steal all the property that the entire Crow tribe can steal, and leave no one! "You make suggestions. γ
The reason why he proposed this is because Mu You is not very easy to move in the village now, and the crows are currently patrolling frantically and vigilantly, and they are extra vigilant against all unfamiliar faces, and it is difficult for him to find a chance to start alone.
So his plan was to incite the bandits to act together, these bandits were much more familiar with the Raven tribe than him, and more than eighty bandits acting together would definitely be able to loot the surface property of the entire tribe.
When he goes back, he will find someone to wipe out the bandits, and this part of the divinity will still fall back into their hands.
