Chapter 588: Nezha
Things didn't turn out unexpectedly, and of course, if I had to say it, there was a little bit more than expected.
Mainly because this "sword-wielding brother" is so unlucky, he is unlucky beyond everyone's imagination.
This hapless "sword-wielding brother", his sword fell from "+4" all the way to "+0", and it only took four enhancements.
"If the chance of one enhancement failure is 30%, then the chance of two consecutive failures is 9 percent, three consecutive times is about 3 percent, and there is about a 0.8 percent chance of four consecutive failures, this guy is really unlucky."
Kirito once again showed his profound knowledge of the game, and he was still smiling as he spoke, with a 0.8% chance that this man would catch up, and he really didn't know what to say, so he tried not to laugh out loud.
"So he's strengthened four times in a row?"
Klein couldn't help but be speechless, this guy is obviously on top, it's not easy to save enough materials to strengthen four times in a row, not only did he not improve but also dropped by four levels, Klein felt that he would probably collapse if he was replaced.
"But he did it... It's still a bit excessive. ”
Asuna frowned, she felt that although this "sword-wielding brother is miserable, he is a little undesirable for the "blacksmith" to be embarrassed, because this kind of thing is not for the "blacksmith" to decide, and there is really no reason to make trouble.
"Indeed."
Ling Ze nodded, this kind of thing is like this, it is impossible for the "blacksmith" to say that he deliberately made trouble, and he had to let his sword strengthen fail, this kind of thing can only be decided randomly, and even the "player blacksmith" with a higher success rate can't save him, so he can only blame himself for being unlucky.
"Go and help him, this blacksmith's casting level is not low, we can let him help us strengthen and upgrade our weapons."
Ling Ze signaled to Klein, and the red-haired man did not hesitate, he walked up directly and stopped in front of the "sword-wielding brother".
"Hey, hey, aren't you messing around? You don't blame this blacksmith for the failure of the reinforcement, what's the use of you complaining here? ”
Klein was originally a self-familiar character, he went up and began to output, but he was stunned by the "sword-wielding brother" who was complaining, this obviously didn't expect someone to meddle in things, because he had been making trouble here for a while, and no one dared to stand up and say anything.
"He was the one who gave me reinforcement and failed, and all four times were big failures! I don't blame him, who is to blame?! Do I have to blame myself?! Maybe it won't be like this when you go to an NPC! So this guy has to take responsibility for me! ”
"Brother Swinging the Sword" was obviously very unconvinced, the weapon dropped from "+4" to "+0", he was already angry, but Klein jumped out and gave him a mess, he naturally became even more angry, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it in the "safe zone", this guy really wanted to fight with Klein now.
"That's right! Blame yourself! ”
Klein was not polite at all, and several people from the "Wind Forest Volcano" also surrounded him and began to support Klein.
"Brother Sword" is wearing metal armor and a helmet with three big horns, obviously his level is not low, and at first glance he is a player who fights bravely on the front line, although he has not been seen in the Raiders group.
Therefore, in the face of the six people of the "Wind Forest Volcano", the "sword-wielding brother" with three big horns did not flinch, anyway, this is a "safe zone", and it is impossible for them to really fight.
"What are you all doing? This is the problem between me and him! ”
"Brother Sword" pointed to "Blacksmith", and the "petite" male player in a rustic brown apron couldn't help but show a very troubled expression, obviously very embarrassed.
"The ......"
The accused little blacksmith dragged Klein, his face timid, obviously wanting to calm things down quickly.
"Don't be afraid, we protect you!"
Klein was very domineering, he didn't give the little blacksmith a chance to speak.
"When you asked someone to level up, you should have known that it might fail, didn't he already post a list of the enhancement rates of each weapon in the store? Don't you see? And when he fails, he will only charge the actual cost of using the materials and props for enhancement, and will not charge a handling fee, which is already very fair, right? ”
Klein didn't mess around, but reasoned with reason, in fact, this is his normal state, he is not the kind of hot-blooded fool with a clear mind.
"Hey, really, there really ......"
Kirito was a little surprised, he really didn't notice, all his attention was on eating melons, Asuna and Ling Ze glanced at him with disgust, Kirito was suddenly a little embarrassed.
If everyone's sympathy for "Brother Swinging the Sword" at the beginning could be about forty percent, then after hearing Klein's words, it may immediately be only about twenty percent.
It's just a kind of sympathy like "don't happen to me", after all, everyone doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing.
"So he should have been angry immediately after the first failure, and then kept repeating the same mistakes, like a gambler, as long as his brain is congested, he will give it a go."
Ling Ze shook his head, he really didn't deserve sympathy.
"It's a very common phenomenon."
Asuna agreed, but Kirito couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, as a gamer, who hasn't been on the top yet?
"His sword, like mine, is a Sword of Fortitude, which should have been obtained after working hard to complete the tasks of the first tier, and then he worked hard to strengthen the NPC blacksmith to +4, but it usually works so far.
But from +5 onwards, the success rate of reinforcement will drop significantly, so he will come to entrust the player blacksmith, but he didn't expect that the initial reinforcement failed, and the value dropped to +3, in order to make up for it, he asked the other party to strengthen again, but it failed again, and it became +2, and then he kept repeating the same process, and the third and fourth reinforcements also failed, until it dropped to +0. ”
Kirito made a complete conjecture, and with a "+6" Sword of Fortitude, he obviously knew more details.
"There is an upper limit to the number of enhancements, what is the upper limit of the strengthening of the Sword of Fortitude?"
Ling Ze took his words, he remembered that Kirito seemed to have only strengthened six times, and I have to say that Kirito was much luckier than this guy, at least the first six enhancements were successful.
"Eight times, that is to say, four successes and four failures, the number of times has been used up, that sword can no longer be strengthened, the sword of tenacity that has just completed the task and got it in hand should be able to be sold for the price of 16,000 kol, but it can no longer be strengthened, four thousand kor will not necessarily be bought, this guy is indeed a big loss."
Kirito sighed for a moment, and now it seems that this "sword-wielding brother" will collapse like this, in fact, it is really understandable.
"Forget it, Liufeor, you really can't blame the blacksmith, we will help you work hard to complete the task and get a new sword of tenacity, don't care."
"Yes, yes, you can get it in a week, and this time you must strengthen it to +8!"
Ling Ze, Kirito, and Asuna were sighing here, and the dispute between "Brother Swinging Sword" and Klein had also made new progress, and two friends of "Brother Swinging Sword" Liufior rushed over, and they began to comfort "Brother Swinging Sword" Liufeior, and his two brothers were very interesting.
"A week's time ......"
The corners of Kirito's mouth twitched, it seems that these three guys are not as strong as he thought, they are useless to complete this task for even a day, of course, it may be that there are more of them.
With the persuasion of his companions, Mr. Rufferor finally regained his composure, and he prepared to leave with his companions in despair, not caring about being angry with Klein anymore.
At this moment, the little blacksmith, who had been silently suffering from his scolding, suddenly jumped out, and he said with a wince:
"Really... I'm really sorry! Next time, I'll be... I'm going to work harder...... Of course, it's also possible that you never want to entrust me again...... But... I'm really sorry! ”
Lyuferor, who stopped when he heard the voice, glanced at the blacksmith, then changed his attitude, and said weakly:
"Actually, it's not your fault, I'm sorry, you scolded you so ugly just now, you should be able to understand, right? I'm so angry, I've lost my mind a bit, after all, it's a life-saving thing, and the attribute has dropped too much. ”
"It's okay... I can understand that this is my job, and if I fail, I will definitely have to bear the complaints of customers. ”
The little blacksmith was very reasonable, he held his hands in front of his leather apron, and bowed his head very unconfidently when he spoke.
If you look closely, you can see that this little blacksmith is also very young, and his age is probably only in his teens, and he may not be as old as Kirito and Asuna.
"Although it seems a bit unkind to say this, this little blacksmith completely gives people the feeling of a production character, if he is a little shorter and fatter, he is like a standard dwarf blacksmith, but he has no beard, so it should be more accurate to say that it is a goblin."
Kirito whispered next to Ling Ze, this guy always speaks "to the point", but it's not very good.
"That...... I also know that this is not a reparation...... But this sword of tenacity has become +0 because of my negligence, and if you want, I can buy it for eight thousand kels......"
The little blacksmith took a step forward, bowed deeply again, and the crowd around immediately became commotion.
I have already said the market just now, and the price offered by the little blacksmith for this "Sword of Toughness" that can no longer be strengthened has obviously been more than doubled, so it is no wonder that everyone is amazed.
"This kid ......"
Ling Ze was also speechless, this kid is so sincere, how did he get mixed up until now? However, looking at the price list and charging standards he posted, he is indeed a sincere person.
The three brothers of "Brother Swinging the Sword" Liufeior were also surprised, but looking at their appearance, they seemed to be really a little moved, after all, this was directly more than 4,000 Keer for nothing!
For them, who had just lost a "+4" Sword of Fortitude, this was a small recovery.
"Hey! Almost! ”
Klein couldn't stand it a little, and he shouted at the three Rufeor brothers, obviously hoping that these three guys would have a face, and not take advantage of others because they were sincere.
Ryufior's face flushed, he simply waved his hand, and then slipped into the crowd with his two brothers, he didn't really have a bottom line.
"Forehead ......"
The little blacksmith was a little at a loss, he looked at Klein, in fact, he really wanted to compensate the other party, and directly "strengthened" the sword of "+4" to "+0", and he was also very unhappy in his heart.
"That's not your fault, if you want to compensate, then I advise you not to continue to do the blacksmith business in the future, otherwise you will not only not make money, but you may also have to lose money, and you are not doing business."
Ling Ze walked over with Kirito and Asuna, and he saw the little blacksmith's thoughts, so he spoke.
"No, in fact, the success rate of the strengthening of the Sword of Fortitude +4, I can reach more than seventy percent, it stands to reason that this kind of thing will not happen, at least not often."
The little blacksmith retorted in a low voice, which made Ling Ze instantly dumbfounded.
Good guy, how unlucky is that "sword-wielding brother" Liufeor?!
"+4" and "+5" both have a success rate of more than 70%, so isn't it higher when "+3", "+2", and "+1"? How did this manage to strengthen all the way to "+0"?
"No way, although the probability is very low, but in the game world, this kind of reverse reinforcement, all the way to the lowest level, happens from time to time, and it may be designed."
Senior player Kirito expressed his opinion again, but Ling Ze thought about it a little, it seemed that this was indeed the case, in his long memory, in the earth he was in before, this kind of high blood pressure incident was occasionally encountered in the game.
"Leave a contact information, we will come to you for business when we need to strengthen and upgrade weapons in the future."
Ling Ze took the initiative to send a friend application to the other party, and the honest and honest blacksmith naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Nezha is it?"
After seeing the name, Ling Ze asked with certainty.
"Yes, yes, Nezhha, it's my name."
Nezha nodded to confirm that this guy's appearance is not good-looking, but he belongs to the very honest type, with a middle pot lid, thin eyes, drooping eyebrows, and the whole face gives people a round feeling.
Coupled with the fact that he is not tall and stocky, it is no wonder that Kirito complains that he looks like a standard "production NPC", which has to be added with a big beard, which really looks like a dwarf.
"What is the success rate of strengthening the Sword of Fortitude from +6 to +7? I see you didn't write it here, are you not sure? ”
Kirito pointed to the success rate of Nezha and asked, he wanted to challenge the enhancement of "+7", of course, it was definitely not now, he had just seen one so unlucky, he didn't dare to try his luck, luck is real in this game.
