Chapter 131 The Heart is Black
Back mountain, cave.
Although Lu Xun has come out of retreat, this cave has temporarily become the place where he refines weapons.
The life and career settings of "Tianchen" are rather fragmented. For example, in terms of refining equipment, it does not mean that you are directly given a refining level to upgrade, and then you can refine it at will.
For example, if you want to refine a paper crane, you have to spend experience points to learn how to refine it.
The crafting techniques of each magic weapon require experience points to learn.
But after learning it, every successful refining will also reward you with experience points, but not a lot.
The paper crane is a top-grade yellow magic weapon. Its grade may not seem high, but among flying magic weapons, a top-grade yellow one is already a luxury.
Because this thing has no other use except flying.
Most practitioners directly control their own flying swords, but the speed and comfort are definitely not as good as those of flying magic weapons specially used for flying.
However, most practitioners don’t have the spare money to purchase a flying magic weapon, so they just have to make do with whatever weapon they pick up.
When the third senior brother was teaching Lu Xun the method of refining paper cranes, Lu Xun directly spent 30,000 experience points to upgrade this technique to the maximum level.
Of course, the success rate after reaching the maximum level will not be 100%. After all, people make mistakes and horses stumble, so the success rate is only about 90%.
At this moment, Lu Xun was refining his thirty-fifth paper crane.
In his storage ring, there were twenty-nine finished paper cranes.
“Alas, I am indeed a piece of trash with a Luck 1. It clearly says a 90% success rate, but I was able to destroy it 5 times!” Lu Xun said in his heart.
After all, this 90% is big data, that is, the overall success rate of all those who have practiced this method to perfection is 90%. Therefore, there are always some people who may be in the 90s, and there are always some people who are below 90. Lu Xun is undoubtedly the latter.
After some skilled operations, Lu Xun received a system prompt message.
“[Ding! You have successfully refined a paper crane (yellow), and gained 1000 experience points.]”
Lu Xun smiled, and then directly took the finished paper crane into his [backpack], which was the storage ring, and then sighed in a pretentious manner: "Alas, the refining failed again."
With the help of the game system to cheat, outsiders will definitely not be able to tell whether he has succeeded in refining it.
Under this cover, although the third brother was puzzled, he did not doubt Lu Xun. Instead, he comforted him many times: "Little brother, don't be anxious, and don't feel frustrated. Just practice a few more times slowly. I will help you prepare some more materials."
Lu Xun felt very moved when he heard it.
Although his heart is dark, he still has some conscience. In order to compensate his third brother, he would do his best to "taste" the dark food made by his third brother every day, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for him.
The fellow disciples each took what they needed. The third brother did not feel sorry when he took out the ingredients, and Lu Xun could comfort himself when eating the dark cuisine: everything was for life.
In the cave, Lu Xun sat cross-legged and exhaled: "Huh! I finally earned back those 30,000 experience points."
"From now on, every time I refine something, as long as it doesn't fail, it will be pure profit!" Lu Xun couldn't help but smile.
Even though Lu Xun seems to be doing it so easily, for other players, refining equipment is definitely not a good way to gain experience points.
After all, 1,000 experience points at a time is still considerable in the early stages of the game, but at this time, where can players get the materials for refining equipment?
In today's society, what limits outstanding young people like you and me?
It's poverty!
Most equipment refining players sell their finished products first and then buy materials, repeating the process over and over again to save money.
And selling things also takes time!
Secondly, even if one can obtain abundant refining materials, the player's spiritual power is limited, and refining is a very energy-consuming task. And what Lu Xun lacks the least is spiritual power!
His spiritual power is much stronger than players of the same level!
Lu Xun quietly admired the 30 paper cranes placed in a row in the storage ring and felt very comfortable.
“It’s almost time for me to succeed, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to my third senior brother.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
So he refined it again, and then - finally succeeded!
"Ah! Hard work really pays off!" he said with emotion.
At noon, everyone in the back mountain was still having lunch in the bamboo forest. Lu Xun told his third senior brother the "good news" in a timely manner!
"Third Brother, I finally succeeded! Look!" As he said that, he took out his "first work" from his storage ring.
The third brother is a good man, honest and simple. Although he is a big dog owner, he never makes money by dirty tricks.
He glanced at the paper crane in Lu Xun's hand with his squinting eyes, and wanted to encourage and praise him.
After all, my junior brother persisted in refining for so many days and destroyed more than thirty pieces of materials before he succeeded in making this one. If I don't encourage him, I'm afraid he will feel frustrated.
"Look, little junior brother is smiling so happily and brightly!" said the third senior brother in his heart.
Lu Xun handed the paper crane to Lin Chan and said, "Little Chan, Master is giving you the first paper crane he made. You must practice diligently. When you reach the initial stage, you can use it to fly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chan quickly put away the paper crane.
After all, this is the master's first work. She feels that it is of extraordinary significance and extremely precious, so she must treasure it well.
And when Third Senior Brother saw that Lu Xun actually gave the paper crane to Lin Chan, then... Junior Brother himself didn't have a magic flying weapon!
But if I said to him at this time, "Let me help you practice," would it be a blow to him? After all, he just succeeded for the first time today, and it was time to regain his confidence.
All right, all right. Let me go to the Demon Sect's treasury later to get spirit stones to exchange for some materials. At worst, I can let my junior brother squander another batch.
"Look, he's in a really good mood today. He almost finished the innovative dish I made."
Perhaps because Lu Xun gave him face and finished the dishes, the third brother was in a good mood and planned to exchange some more materials for the younger brother later.
"One flying magic weapon is not enough. What if it breaks? We should at least keep a spare one, right?" The third brother's thoughts were particularly considerate.
Anyway, for him, such a small amount of material cost is completely affordable.
So, Lu Xun actually underestimated the financial resources of his third senior brother.
He was too poor to imagine how rich the rich were.
Lu Xun sat there, staring at Third Senior Brother's innovative dish and eating it mouthful after mouthful. He mostly pretended to chew but actually swallowed it directly.
What he was eating was not the food; with each bite he was piecing together his conscience.
