Chapter 144: Taking the Money and Spending It
"The serial murderer has finally been caught, and the West Villas field has finally retained its last dignity......"
"Oh, caught? I don't know if it's a deity or a scapegoat. Feng Xue looked at the headline on the front page of the Tassok newspaper and flipped through it casually.
However, I found that the content of the report was also decent, roughly how brave the police were, how cunning the gangsters were, and how the officials were conscientious.
Feng Xue only shook his head in this regard, and while there was no one left and right, he threw a [book] element into the newspaper, and as the 100 towers were put into it, the newspaper unexpectedly turned into a black ball and quickly dissipated into the air.
I don't know what the reason is, after coming to Victoria, his recasting work was not smooth, although he gained a lot of elements, but there were only a handful of phantom objects produced, which made Feng Xue more and more suspicious whether there was some kind of hidden rule for the recasting of real things.
For example, the more informative and well-known it is, the less likely it is to succeed.
Or the real thing itself has some kind of phase with the elements, and when the phase conflicts, black balls will be generated.
Open the notebook he had with him, and it recorded every reforge after his crossing.
Including the type, volume, and shape of the substrate used, the amount of [knowledge] invested, the type of element, whether new elements have been generated, and so on.
However, even though such a form had filled most of the notes, Feng Xue still failed to find a reasonable enough pattern, and finally had to attribute it to insufficient samples.
Clapping her hands to dissipate the non-existent dust, Feng Xue took out a small carving knife from her pocket and carved it on the 1p coin.
It's not that he's bored, it's that he's trying to discover the abilities that have been wasted by himself-
[Manufacturing].
[Manufacturing] is an element that is common and common, and rare is rare, and Feng Xue's labels such as "Chef", "Money Printer", and "Scribe" all have this element, but he has always only regarded it as an accessory, but has not given full play to its true value, which is the so-called "manufacturing ability".
In Infinity City, only those who have activated the [Manufacturing] element are qualified to call themselves manufacturing professions, and they can "process" various materials into corresponding finished products in a way that violates the laws of nature.
[Tailor] can make rags, fibers, heckle and other garbage into high-quality cloth, and [Blacksmith] can reduce all kinds of metal scrap pieces into metal ingots, and this is only "regular" usage, and in this process, these manufacturing professions also have a certain chance to "have a flash of inspiration" and create [Phantoms] with all the elements, and this is also the source of most of the low-level phantom objects in Infinite City.
Feng Xue's golden finger is a technical black box, not even a manual for use, in the previous life, if this kind of problem occurred in a game, he would go to the corresponding forum, QQ group or post bar to ask other players for help, but now, he can only experiment alone.
This is undoubtedly an exhaustive process, and in order to reduce the difficulty of this process, Feng Xue decided to try to bypass the class, that is, to create a phantom object through "conventional" means, so as to explore the difference between his golden finger and the normal process of creating a phantom object.
After being blessed with multiple blessings, her hand was far more stable than she had imagined, and Feng Xue almost didn't take much effort to smooth out all the patterns on the coin, and then began to sketch the patterns she had designed on it.
On the obverse of the coin is a delicate scale, with a heart in one pan and a small pile of gold bars on the other, although the penny coin can only be seen as a stack of metal ingots, but on this picture, no one would think that it is iron or copper.
On the reverse side of the coin, Feng Xue simply carved a "1" with horizontal stripes, and then surrounded it with flame-shaped lace engraved by the sun.
Carving such a coin, with Feng Xue's current strength, is no different from writing on plasticine with a branch, and in less than half an hour, a penny coin has completely changed its appearance.
Because of the friction of a part of the relationship, the current coin in the hand seems a little lacking in the feel, more like a piece of iron than the coin, Feng Xue tossed it casually, there is no disappointment on his face, because the failure is expected.
He had made dozens of similar coins, each one carefully carved, but none of them had turned into the illusion he wanted.
It's not good to exercise manufacturing ability in reality, because the material is the "real thing", Feng Xue can't accurately see the elements of these coins like observing the transcribed fake books, which is as uncomfortable as fighting the boss and not seeing the blood bar.
However, this is nothing for a veteran monster hunter, Feng Xue gently tossed the coin, and caught it casually, and a [prop] element has been entered into the coin.
"It was obvious that [knowledge] had been added before, but this time it will be less." Feng Xue casually added 5 points of [Knowledge] to it, and with a sense of distortion, the coin began to change significantly.
Seeing this, the corners of Feng Xue's mouth immediately curled, and he could clearly feel the weight of the coin between his fingers, which meant that this reforge did not turn it into a black ball.
So......
"It's finished?"
Feng Xue quietly waited for the end of the transformation of the coin, although it was waiting, but in fact it happened in the time of seconds, when the change ended, the coin in Feng Xue's hand has become a round stone with a diameter of 5 cm and a thickness of about 4 mm.
And when Feng Xue focused the crosshairs of the golden finger and looked at the words that appeared, her face couldn't help but darken-
Name: Phantom Object, Professional Drifting Stone
Elements: [Item], [Waste], [Worthless]
Introduction: The professional water drifting stone used for water drifting, processed by modern industrial batches, priced at five cents, is specially sold to fools who have money and nowhere to spend, and takes money to play water drifting in the real sense.
Note: Although it is a professional drifting stone, whether you can play far depends on the technique.
……
"What's that? Am I being ridiculed? Feng Xue squeezed the salt that appeared in her hand at some point, and she had the urge to throw the water driftstone out of her hand.
But then, he had a flash of inspiration, although there was no reason, but from the label of this phantom object, he seemed to chew out a little doorway, that seems, it is the point of how to make the phantom coin......
PS: About AIDS Harry/Mary, this is an urban legend that has been widely circulated in Europe and the United States, and its origin should be around the nineties of the last century.
In the earliest days, it was a beautiful woman fishing in a bar, and after a night, she would give the man a small gift, and ask the man to open it when he went home, and after opening the gift box, there was a small coffin with a card written on it, saying "Welcome to the world of AIDS patients".
But then it was rumored that Mary became Harry (maybe the feminists felt that Mary was sexist?). The original version of the coffin also became cheap, such as coffee, envelopes, etc., probably because the copycat did not want to spend money on a coffin? Or is it easy to attract the police with a custom coffin?
In short, it is probably an urban legend rooted in the fear of AIDS, but with the development of blocking drugs, this urban legend has gradually faded into obscurity.
PS2: Although I did borrow the mysterious place name, but it would be too much to say copyright and plagiarism, Beckland is an empty ear for "back to London", MI X is a classic department of Victoria, 007 or MI6, in fact, during World War II, Victoria's MI X was ranked more than 20, but it was merged after the war, what can't be used? In the same way, I did borrow the name of the boat, but Victoria and Colombia were used in reality as British and American pronouns. It's like Dongguo likes to turn foreign names upside down as character names, you can't just say that Accardo of Hell Song is plagiarized just because Castlevania has used Alcatel, right?
