Chapter 65 Fortunately, the Cake Is Delicious

Lu Yao has experience in making potions. [Almighty Stone] is easier to operate than crucibles and does not require other raw materials.

Only provide faith crop fuel, just burn stones.

Lu Yao clicks [Almighty Stone], and an icon [Casting (10 Faith)] appears on it.

Continue to select icons.

After faith -10, a large picture of the Almighty Stone appears on the screen.

A piece of stone with a little bit of luster becomes soft and twisted under the pale flame.

[Casting failed].

Lu Yao thought to himself that it was as expected.

The sentence "with a certain probability" in the description of the Almighty Stone is the problem. The situation where the price is not transparent is generally because the real price is too high...

Just like the squid tentacles of Cao X duck neck.

Most cold dishes and stewed foods are priced at a pound, and the squid tentacles of Cao X are priced at around 27. People who don't buy it often don't easily notice that the unit after the price of squid tentacles is 100 grams, and the real price of a pound is 138.

The merchant played such a trick because he knew that the price was outrageous and that directly displaying it would discourage many salaried workers. Consumers only realized that they had been cheated when they paid!

Some people would still buy it even though they thought it was expensive.

[Almighty Stone] uses the same method.

Compared with them, golden dice are fair and honest, and the conscience of the market.

Casting is a bottomless pit. Even if there are more beliefs, it can't withstand such continuous consumption... Mingshen finally made a [Broken Magic Potion Crucible], which is also a victim of the Almighty Stone scam.

Lu Yao thought.

If I can find a prop that increases the probability of forging, or if one of my subordinates has the bonus ability of casting and smelting, I will consider trying it. He has a lot of props in his hands now, so he is not short of them.

It is worth a try to strengthen this ability.

Unsure whether failure will cause the prop to be damaged, Lu Yao first found a test product.

[Refine (10 Faith)]

Lu Yao clicked on this icon, and a box suddenly appeared on the screen.

[Please put in the treasure that needs to be strengthened. ]

Lu Yao threw the potion crucible in.

On the screen, the crucible was wrapped in the fire of faith.

After a moment.

[Refinement failed].

Failure was expected.

The good news is that the failure of refining has no negative impact and does not damage the item itself.

At this time, Isabel has led people to further dig and develop in the mine. They have output one after another, and the number of [Almighty Stone] in the upper left corner is slowly rising.

Lu Yao used the second and third Almighty Stones.

Failures continue.

Until the nineteenth time, the situation finally changed.

[Refinement Successful].

A brand new illustration appeared on the screen.

The picture shows a crystal stone bowl.

…

[Potion Crucible LV1]: Faith +1/hour, heated by the fire of faith, can refine unstable potions.

[Magic potion recipe]

Crazy pill: add a spoonful of sand, a spoonful of blood, a spoonful of salt, and a spoonful of rotten corpse.

Efficacy: Get the [Crazy] feature, damage +1, defense -2.

…

Crazy pills do have attribute effects, but the crucible was broken before, so it is not enough to display this information.

Lu Yao was quite satisfied with the results of this experiment.

The goal was achieved.

If there is enough omnipotent stone reserves, you can gradually try to strengthen some items that have not yet been upgraded.

For example, [Energy Cane], [Magic Harpoon], [Drifting Letter], [Weeping Amber].

Lu Yao decided to temporarily move the cave monsters in the tribe here. They are good at digging, just right for mining.

The spotted lynx also continued to stay on the island to continue to reduce the size of the crazy lemmings group to prevent them from rising again.

…

In the company, Sister Peng has not come to work for two days.

Boss Huang, who always hates people taking leave, turned a blind eye to this.

Lu Yao was a little confused about this. He had called Sister Peng before and asked her about some work issues. Sister Peng acted very normal, but she just didn't talk about why she didn't come to work.

Since the other party didn't say anything, Lu Yao didn't ask.

At noon, Boss Huang found Lu Yao.

"Xiao Lu, go to Peng Xiaoyi's place later and bring this to her."

Boss Huang handed him a handbag with a box of Holiland cheesecake in it.

"She lives in 305, Century City Phase II, Luoguxiang. You can go directly there. Get off work early today."

After the boss said so, Lu Yao left the company early and took a bus to Century City.

When Sister Peng opened the door, she was not surprised to see Lu Yao.

"Did Lao Huang ask you to come?"

"Yes."

Lu Yao handed her the snack: "Sister Peng, then I'll leave first."

He was still thinking about the simulator in his heart.

"Why are you leaving? Let's eat together. I'm losing weight recently and can't eat."

Sister Peng waved her hand and said very naturally: "Come in, why are you standing?"

Lu Yao had a feeling that the other party really treated him as a younger brother.

The two of them ate some snacks with juice.

Sister Peng wiped her mouth with a tissue: "Go back and tell Lao Huang not to worry. I won't change jobs. I've been feeling really unwell these past two days. I went to the Second Municipal Hospital for a checkup and am still waiting for a follow-up examination."

Lu Yao nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"Where is Isabel, the little girl from last time?"

Sister Peng sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked with interest: "Is she back? Didn't she really run away?"

Lu Yao could only say: "She's still at home."

"Don't. Don't do that."

Sister Peng said seriously, "As someone who has been through this, I have to tell you some life experience."

"Long-distance relationships, especially those in different countries, are too risky. If you don't pay attention, one day, both parties will feel lonely, drink a little wine, or hear a few sweet words, and their hearts will soften and they may accidentally shoot."

"People can't resist temptation."

"With Isabel's looks and temperament, is it possible that no one will pursue her? If I were a man, I would definitely be around her all day and not stop until I got a marriage certificate."

"How come you don't have a sense of crisis at all? Are you stupid?"

"..."

Lu Yao smiled awkwardly.

He had reason to suspect that Sister Peng kept him to eat sweets just to gossip about Isabel.

Just as Lu Yao was about to find an excuse to leave, there was a knock on the door.

Sister Peng took a look, opened the door and said, "Why are you here at this time? Hey, who is this?"

The other party said, "Sister Xiaoyi, you are sick and live alone. As your cousin, I took the initiative to come and see you. It must be inconvenient for my father to come."

Lu Yao looked towards the door following the voice.

At this glance, he found that the person who came was actually someone he knew, it was Boss Huang's daughter Amy.

Wait.

Amy called herself a cousin to Sister Peng?

It turns out that Sister Peng is also a relative! She hid it too well.

Lu Yao was shocked.

No wonder Boss Huang always asked him to run errands. The company is full of relative people, and whoever the boss calls may be discussed and speculated by others. On the contrary, he, a young outsider, is the most suitable for this role.

Lu Yao noticed that there was a girl standing next to Amy.

She wore a colorful striped sweater, short silver-gray hair, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. She looked about 20 years old, with the kind of bright and delicate unique to young girls, making it difficult for people to take their eyes off her.

It turned out to be Song Shiyi.

Why is she here? Did she come here to investigate Fu Chenggang's case?

Lu Yao suddenly panicked.

He quickly ate another piece of dessert to calm his nerves.

Fortunately, the cake tasted good.
