Chapter 585: Manufacturing a Reinforcement Machine
No. 129 Jinlu Street, in the workshop room.
The surroundings had already been carefully arranged by himself to block all abnormalities and spiritual leaks. There must be no mistakes in this production.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Zhou Ning took out one rare material after another and placed them on the table.
He snapped his fingers casually, and a wisp of spiritual flame jumped out from between his index fingers, lighting the brazier. In an instant, the golden flame suddenly burned fiercely.
This is the first step in making ceremonial costumes, smelting materials.
Zhou Ning was already familiar with this step. He put mithril, krypton silver, refined gold, jade steel and other special materials full of spirituality into the container one by one and began to roast them in the brazier.
Mithril is actually a catalyst. It has a strong affinity with magic and excellent ductility, while krypton silver determines the accelerated reaction rate of the material, has an extremely high melting point, and can effectively lower the reaction temperature.
Not long after, a brilliant golden light appeared in the container. Under the burning of the spiritual flame, the light gradually became dazzling.
About ten minutes later, the refined gold and jade steel began to melt first. A layer of dense golden foam appeared on their surface and they began to merge with each other.
After a while, the mithril and krypton silver began to melt gradually, and Zhou Ning began to add other materials one by one.
"Moonstone, topaz, magic iron..."
"Wow!"
As a puff of smoke rose up, all the materials were melted, and a pool of golden liquid emitting colorful light appeared in the container. From time to time, golden bubbles emerged from the bottom of the liquid.
This also indicates that the first step of "material smelting" in making "Zhou Ning's Super Strengthening Machine" has been completed, and the next step is the more difficult manufacturing part.
Zhou Ning stared at the boiling colorful liquid in front of him with a solemn expression.
The materials here are worth about 50,000 Victa, and they are in short supply. If I fail this time, who knows how long it will take to gather all the materials again.
However... for a demigod, his control over his body has almost reached the peak level. Normally, it would be difficult for him to fail, not to mention that his agility is already close to 600 points. Almost every movement is extremely precise and accurate, full of rhythm.
Early the next morning, sunlight streamed in through the window.
In front of Zhou Ning, there was a completely black machine.
To Zhou Ning, it resembled a large black mouth, with a groove in the middle for swallowing equipment. Outside, there were numerous precise gears and sturdy, heavy iron-black parts, with pale golden chains inserted between them. It looked both complex and exquisite, full of mechanical beauty.
"Miracle item—Zhou Ning's super-enhanced machine!"
That’s right, the finished product of this thing turned out to be a miraculous item, which even Zhou Ning himself did not expect.
"Luckily, I prepared some extra refined gold yesterday. I ended up using 30 grams more. I almost failed, and I only had less than 10 grams left..."
Zhou Ning took a look at the finished product placed on the ground. If nothing unexpected happened, this thing would help him reach the peak of his life.
After a slight hesitation, he decided to test the method himself first.
He took out the revolver "Viper" from the inventory, walked around the enhancer, and found no other place to put the equipment. After hesitating for a moment, he put it into the groove of the machine.
There is a red button on the left side of the machine, engraved with dense patterns. There is a notch at the link of the light golden chain that can be opened with a finger, from which the strengthening material, that is, mithril, can be stored.
Fortunately, you can deposit mithril in batches, and only the corresponding amount of mithril will be deducted during strengthening, which is relatively convenient.
根据描述，强化+1需要20克秘银，+2需要35克，+3需要70克，+4需要120克……看似没什么特殊规律，每克秘银的比例和维克塔大概是4:1到5：1。
The 1 grams of Mithril required for a +20 enhancement is equivalent to approximately 4.5 Vekta.
Zhou Ning considered the pricing. He had invested so much in this machine, so it shouldn't be too much to charge 1 Viktors for a +15 enhancement. Then, for each additional level of enhancement, the price would be doubled. +2 would cost 2 Viktors, +30 would cost 3 Viktors, and so on. For +60 and above, the price would be charged separately.
This price is actually not too expensive. If a civilian succeeds in upgrading to +7, it will only cost 960 Viktoria. You can still save up enough money if you grit your teeth (probably), so you can make a small profit but sell a lot.
Zhou Ning deposited some mithril into the machine, pressed the button, and started strengthening.
The groove on "Zhou Ning's Super Enhanced Machine" closed, a roar was heard, and a white mist appeared around the machine. After a moment, the groove opened, and the Viper that had just been placed in it lay quietly inside.
The panel prompts:
[Congratulations! The upgrade was successful, your weapon has been upgraded to +1]
Zhou Ning picked up the "Viper". The weapon's upper and lower attack limits, as well as the bonus attributes, increased significantly. More importantly, after being strengthened to +1, a faint red fluorescence appeared on the originally pitch-black "Viper".
"I didn't expect the enhancer to even include the glowing effect of weapons..."
Zhou Ning was quite satisfied with it. After that, he strengthened it several times in succession until he failed for the first time at +8. Zhou Ning was a little too obsessed with strengthening. +8, +9, +10, +11 were successful one after another. But when he went from 11 to 12, he failed again and dropped from level 11 to level 8.
He gritted his teeth and pointed upwards again. This time he successfully reached level 10 in one go, but failed again when trying to get from 10 to 11, and fell back to level 7.
Zhou Ning: ...
I couldn't help but grit my teeth and feel helpless and furious.
Holy shit, this is too much! Suddenly, Zhou Ning seemed to be transported back to 10 years ago, once again facing the fear of being dominated by the power-enhancing machine. Finally, unable to resist, he used the Lucky Clover to barely reach level 13. Not only did the weapon's upper and lower attack limits increase significantly, but it also increased its agility by 46 points and its stamina by 17 points. The entire weapon looked like it was shrouded in a blood mist, which was very cool.
He took the Viper out of the enhancement machine, performed a beautiful gun dance, and put it into the inventory. Zhou Ning restrained the urge to continue enhancing it and couldn't help but light a candle for the player.
Even he was nearly losing his temper, so how could the players hold back? Zhou Ning couldn't help but seriously consider whether to lower the price. He was afraid of being struck by lightning if he exploited the players like this.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and Zhou Ning opened his personal store and chose to temporarily remove the Lucky Clover from the shelves. This thing was too buggy and would affect his ability to make money.
After testing, it is similar to DNF. The light of the weapon will increase with the degree of enhancement. When it reaches +10, it is already very bright, which is very suitable for showing off and has the maximum appeal to players.
But strengthening was too much of a rip-off, and it would easily affect his image among players. He needed a new username, so he decided to do it himself. Zhou Ning thought for a moment and used Shadow Clone to create a woman with black hair, goggles, and a sleeveless blue vest. She was given the titles of Strengthening Master and Sharpshooter Instructor.
From today on, she will be called Kelly, and will be responsible for strengthening the work year-round. I hope the optical brain will be more sensible and not expose me.
