Chapter 670: Influence
Chen Mo promised the housekeeper that the twenty-day forging task time passed quickly.
During this period.
Bingling never contacted him again, which made Chen Mo, who was a little worried that he would delay the forging task, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
this day.
He took the forged four pieces of equipment and came to the Hundred Refining Alliance.
"Butler, I'm here to submit the task."
Hearing this, the housekeeper raised his head behind the counter, looked at Chen Mo, and smiled.
"You're here."
After rummaging for a while, he took out three signs and signaled.
"In the past few days, you have received a total of three tasks, the basic materials are all gold essence, obviously all of them are here for your fame as a new alchemy master who has forged the best exclusive equipment, these three people are all judges of that day, two of them were long-term customers of the gold essence alliance before, and they did a good job!"
"Three?"
When Chen Mo heard this, his face was surprised.
You must know that the cost of his current forging task is as high as 500 points, which itself is calculated according to the price of building gold-level equipment.
I didn't expect to receive three tasks so quickly, which is equivalent to 1500 points.
Of course.
The forging cost of 500 points is only the lower limit of the refining master.
The forging cost of a real refining master has exceeded 1,000 points, and according to the level of fame, there are a few who have more than 2,000 points in forging costs.
And some equipment with special requirements, it is not impossible for the forging cost to exceed 5,000 points, 8,000 points, and 10,000 points, but once you miss, you will not be able to achieve the goal of the task publisher, and the cost will be extremely heavy.
"There are less than 10 days left until the next disaster mission, and there is not enough time."
Chen Mo was about to refuse, but when he thought about it, he was stunned.
He can be brought to the mission world and forged with the time resources brought by the traverser!
So he smiled at the housekeeper and said, "I have taken all three tasks." ”
"Good!"
Seeing that Chen Mo was so bold, the housekeeper didn't think much about it.
After all, for many refiners, it is also a very common thing to devote their energy to the refining business, in short, they can support themselves.
And with the physical exertion of the refiner, it is almost a fool's dream to rely on the provision of subsistence meals.
Therefore, if the refiner wants to survive in the gathering place, he needs at least 100 points per month.
He gave a little advice.
"You have just become a little famous, and there is still a certain gap between you and those true masters who are sought after, so try to be careful, at least there can be no serious mistakes, as long as someone is willing to pursue you and provide you with enough gold essence, your basic alchemy proficiency will soon be improved, and the probability of forging the best equipment will become greater and greater."
At this, he paused and smiled.
"In the future, you will forge a few masterpieces, strive for greater fame, cultivate a few loyal customers, and be willing to support you for a long time, hehe, in some special cases, even if you ask them to help, it is not impossible to solve some inconvenient things for you, our refiners are good at this, and there are enough friends!"
"Hmm!"
Chen Mo nodded and said, "I will work hard." ”
People who can entrust the forging of gold-level quality equipment are generally only third-level natural disaster destroyers, and at least the existence of a small boss level, will spare no effort and pursue high-quality equipment at any cost.
Even if you don't count auxiliary materials and spiritual materials.
Depending on the location, the amount of gold required for a piece of equipment is at least 3,000 to 5,000 points.
The vast majority of the gold essence of these small bosses is recovered by refining other gold-level equipment, and each piece of equipment can recover between 30% and 50% of the gold essence.
And if there is a quality downgrade and a refiner failure, it is equivalent to a major mistake, and all the materials of the employer are wasted, which has a great impact on the reputation of the refiner.
So once in a while this happens.
The refiner is willing to pay out of his own pocket, remove the spiritual materials, and only use gold essence and auxiliary materials to refine a basic quality equipment, so that there will be no traces, maybe the evil sword comes from like this, it belongs to the failed gold equipment.
After the housekeeper registered the four pieces of equipment handed over by Chen Mo one by one, he paid Chen Mo 400 points.
Immediately, Chen Mo followed the housekeeper and entered the warehouse.
The housekeeper handed over the materials of the three gold-level equipment to Chen Mo one by one.
Since all kinds of spiritual materials are almost irreproducible, in order to eliminate greed, the equipment forged by the refiner cannot be identified, and can only be personally appraised by the owner.
Moreover, according to the irreproducibility of spiritual materials, once the best equipment is refined, it cannot be secretly replaced with other equipment, and the Hundred Refining Alliance will not allow this kind of thing to happen, which is equivalent to smashing its own signboard.
After the handover of the formalities is completed.
Chen Mo didn't leave in a hurry, but chatted with the housekeeper.
After all, the housekeeper had just released the news of the end of Chen Mo's forging task, and if the employer was in the gathering place, he would usually come over soon to collect it.
During this process, the employer will conduct an on-site appraisal.
Chen Mo also wanted to see the best rate of his equipment this time.
Soon.
The two employers came to the Hundred Refining Alliance and took away the shoes and rings forged by Chen Mo respectively.
The butler smiled and handed over the Radiance Stone, which was a free benefit provided by the Hundred Refining Alliance.
The two were identified on the spot.
The man holding the shoe appraisal raised his eyebrows and sighed after a burst of light shining with the light stone.
"The basic attributes are okay, but it's a pity that there are no additional attributes, characteristics, and skills, so it's a loss."
The butler smiled and said: "It is impossible for every piece of equipment to be a superb attribute, besides, a major incident happened a few days ago, this traveler forged a superb exclusive equipment in the last alchemy bet, and is now a recognized master in the gathering place, and the cost of issuing forging tasks to him has increased to 500 points." ”
"And that kind of thing?"
When this man heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Chen Mo watched this scene from behind the counter and felt a little funny.
"Ahh
The other side.
The female Scourge let out a cry of surprise after identifying the ring through the Radiance Stone.
"Three attributes, the best equipment!"
Then she excitedly showed the properties of the ring.
Hint: Unnamed.
Quality: Blue.
Conditions of use: Spirit 48.
Item attributes: Energy +6, Base Element +Lv3, Elemental Heart, when the energy cost of a single skill is greater than 15 points, the energy cost is -1.
Item description: This is a magical ring carefully forged by a refiner named Traveler after realizing the power of his own elements.
"Shhh
The male catastrophe who had identified the shoes on the side was about to leave, but when he saw the ring, his eyes widened and he couldn't move his steps anymore.
The housekeeper immediately said, "Congratulations!" ”
"Thank you!"
The female catastrophe was clearly very excited.
So the butler continued: "According to the rules of the Hundred Refining Alliance, if you are willing to leave this piece of equipment on display at the counter for a month, I can not only refund all your forging fees, but you can also get a 9.9% discount on the handling fee of this refiner in the future, as well as the opportunity to introduce you to this master, if you have any needs in the future, you can communicate with the master alone." ”
When the female catastrophe heard this, she readily agreed.
Immediately, under the guidance of the housekeeper, after putting the ring into the display case, he followed the housekeeper to the second floor, Chen Mo also followed, and quickly identified himself.
Ten minutes later.
The female catastrophe left happily, while Chen Mo smiled and followed the housekeeper back to the first floor.
The sincere gratitude from the other party just now gave Chen Mo a huge sense of professional achievement, and he felt that he had fallen in love with this profession from the bottom of his heart.
"You've forged another piece of superb equipment."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's just luck, and the requirements for the use of this ring are a bit high." ”
"What kind of are you talking about, these are three attributes, and the attributes are closely related!"
The butler's face was full of excitement, envy, and jealousy, and he looked at the blue ring on the counter, looking like he couldn't put it down.
"This ring...... At least 1,800 points or more, right? ”
Chen Mo estimated and nodded.
"Well, it should be about the same."
The butler exclaimed, "She's really lucky." ”
And he naturally didn't know that Chen Mo had made a loss-making deal.
He now uses up an X-ray stone for every piece of equipment he forges, which is worth at least a few hundred points, so even if he has a handling fee of 500 points, he is still a loss-making deal.
And the reason why he did this was to increase his popularity as soon as possible and improve his basic alchemy.
When the reputation is high in the future, the lost material handling fee will be doubled.
As for the X-Radiation Stone, because of the teleportation scroll made by Linda, plus the prospector skills of the tour team, it can be replenished even after it is used up, so there is no need to worry about not being able to return to the sunspot radiation world from now on.
"Tsk."
The housekeeper sighed: "The alchemy secret recipe you have mastered is really strong enough, and if it goes on like this, the handling fee will rise." ”
With the matter of this ring, Chen Mo was in no hurry to go back.
So he chatted with the butler.
And because Chen Mo was a new refiner in the gathering place, and he was also a backbone member of the community, the housekeeper was also willing to share some secrets with him that he didn't know.
Through the housekeeper, Chen Mo initially learned about the division of various forces in the gathering place.
The most important person in a gathering place is undoubtedly the Scourge Monarch, and the forces under his command can be divided into pro-guardians, patrol envoys, grandmasters, and order-keepers.
Besides.
Among the gathering places of the major monarchs, there are also some individuals or forces that are out of his direct jurisdiction, such as the Scourge Lord family, the branch forces of the Evil God City, the Freeman, and the Divine Messenger.
The Calamity Monarch is too busy.
The creatures of each world, once they stepped into the realm of the fourth level, the nature of life began to change essentially.
They have to keep going into history and draw special energy from time.
This requires them to make history, and these influences grow over time and eventually become a source of energy for themselves in the future.
But the scary thing is.
This behavior is bound to expose itself constantly.
And for many creatures, killing other influential people is the most direct way to increase their influence, especially for level 5 creatures, killing a large number of level 4 creatures will be the most cost-effective way to accumulate their own energy sources.
So in a way.
Once a creature enters the realm of the fourth level, it is a process of continuous creation and continuous destruction.
Time will be an amplifier.
And Chen Mo, as a refiner, once he stepped into this field, with the continuous improvement of his fame, it was also a process of creating history, and he could gain more influence with the various superb equipment he forged, and gradually evolve into his own source of energy after time brewing.
But at the same time, it will also become nourishment in the eyes of those fifth-level creatures.
As for the sixth-level creatures, they usually take the form of the Great Guardian, but there seem to be other forms.
Although these sixth-level creatures are able to fight against seventh-level creatures under special circumstances, in general, they still haven't stepped out of the scope of creating influence in time, and still need to draw energy sources from the influence of time.
"Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness."
Chen Mo sighed.
The butler's description, though not very detailed, could still feel the cruelty in it.
Of course.
In a certain way, maintaining a certain order can be regarded as a manifestation of expanding influence and accumulating energy sources, so order and chaos can form a delicate balance.
This is why he, as a refining master, will only say these things as a housekeeper, otherwise he is not qualified to understand these things at all with his identity as a first-level natural calamity predator.
"yes."
The butler sighed: "One day in the future, if we can step into this realm, as a refining master, the more equipment we forge can last for centuries, the higher the influence of the foundation, and the process of accumulating influence after the fourth level will be relatively easy, this is our innate advantage, come on!" ”
"Hmm!"
Chen Mo nodded, said goodbye to the housekeeper, and left the Hundred Refining Alliance.
