Chapter 148 The Essence of Summer Camp
In other words, without the two of them, this year's Blackstone world would not even be at the bottom, and there would not be a single participant, so naturally there would be no heat.
But compared to other powerful realms, the popularity of this summer camp is extraordinary.
It is also worth mentioning that not all students in these advanced war academies are like Li Qing and Gu Qingxin. They were recommended by Blackstone War Academy and directly recruited because of their outstanding performance.
In addition to special recruitment, there are also those who are admitted based on their own abilities.
There are also many people with very impressive backgrounds who are specially admitted.
It is worth mentioning that this formal assessment is not an academy assessment, but after graduating from the basic war academy, students have to apply for their favorite advanced war academy and then pass the academy's assessment before they can be admitted.
Basic war colleges are not responsible for supplying talent to advanced war colleges.
Because of the different systems, the domain of each throne is equivalent to a small kingdom, and the entire human destiny civilization is equivalent to being composed of more than 500 kingdoms of various sizes.
Sending talents to the Advanced War College is equivalent to sending the outstanding talents in one's own kingdom to others, and no realm master would be willing to do that.
But the world master cannot restrict personal freedom. They are different from the indigenous people, so this happens. If you want to further your studies, you have to find a way to apply for the exam.
According to the information, the current summer camp has become a stage for students to showcase their abilities.
In the beginning, activity was more important than competitiveness, but now competitiveness is more important than activity. There is competition in every link, which fully demonstrates the comprehensive strength of the students.
That is to demonstrate the personal potential and strength of the War Lord apprentices.
It is also necessary to demonstrate the strength of the many heroes under the command of the War Lord.
It is also necessary to demonstrate the strength of the troops under the War Lord.
Plus the combined strength of the three.
There are four lists in total, and you will be rewarded with points if you are on any of the lists.
There is no need to explain the use of points, those who understand will understand.
Given the level of the summer camp, the good things that can be rewarded are definitely beyond their imagination.
In addition, there is the attention of the academy. If you can get good enough grades in the summer camp and prove that your strength and potential are top-notch, you may even be accepted as a disciple by a true god-level mentor.
The benefits that a true god-level mentor brings to his disciples are unimaginable to ordinary people.
No wonder the competition is so fierce. I encountered all kinds of tricks as soon as I came in.
The summer camp is held in a large floating city, a modern floating city that looks like a large interstellar fortress with a very sci-fi style of architecture.
Li Qing followed the instructions and walked along the main road to the edge of the floating city, then turned right along the road surrounding the edge of the floating city.
In the gaps between buildings, you can see the floating city floating on the top of the clouds. Below you can't see the bottom, and above your head is a sky full of stars. You don't know how high it is.
There are many platforms and floating islands of different sizes around the floating city. There are many buildings of different sizes on the platforms, which should be the ancillary facilities of the floating city.
In the void beyond who knows how far, there is a distorted crystal wall of the plane, and behind the crystal wall is a blurry shadow.
If I'm not mistaken, this floating city is docked at the edge of the plane.
Following the instructions, we arrived at a five-story building and saw several young men and women standing at the door, talking to a middle-aged man.
Li Qing approached, and the middle-aged man was knocking on a light screen beside him, and said impatiently:
“Don’t ask irrelevant questions, read it yourself, and ask if you don’t understand.”
Li Qing glanced at the light screen, which showed the accommodation conditions for the summer camp participants. There were accommodations of various sizes, but they had to pay to rent them.
After listening for a while, he realized that these students were not asking about accommodation, but were asking the staff member about some information about the summer camp.
Li Qing was speechless. Is it really that necessary?
He remained puzzled until he rented a small independent villa and returned to pack his things, but he still felt puzzled.
There was no one he knew, so he tried to contact Gu Qingxin, but found that she had not come yet.
The tutor sent by the college has not arrived yet, and he doesn't even know who the tutor is.
Li Qing, who was completely in the dark, could only stay in his residence and dared not go out casually. Fortunately, the online trading platform could be used and it was within the scope of use here.
Li Qing simply opened the trading platform and ordered a batch of magic materials.
Standard-sized four-element magic gems, used to be ground into powder to make magical materials for magic pattern construction. They are the size of a finger and cost 200,000 each. Each party purchased 500.
Then there were various elemental essences. The four major elemental essences were air essence, earth essence, water essence, and fire essence. Each unit cost 80,000, and 300 units of each were purchased.
The price of Essence of Death, Essence of Shadow and Essence of Holy is 120,000 per unit, and 200 units of each were purchased.
Void Essence and Astral Essence, two rare elemental essences, cost 250,000 per unit, and I purchased 100 units of each.
Soul Dust, 150,000 per unit, 2,000 units purchased.
In addition, some original essence is needed to make material adhesives, 50,000 per unit, and a total of 4,000 units were purchased.
All in all, the total cost was 100 million + 96 million + 72 million + 50 million + 200 million = 518 million, with 369.48 million left.
Of this, 300 million came from support from family and parents.
These are all processed magic materials, with a total of nine different magic essences. However, if they are mixed according to different formulas, they can eventually produce a total of 4,000 portions of 32 different types of magic ink that can be used for drawing magic patterns.
On average, there are only 125 bottles of each type, and each bottle can be used about two or three times.
But it is not absolute. If you are only drawing a first-level magic pattern, the amount used will not be much. If you are drawing a more complex second-level or even third-level magic pattern structure, you may use up the whole bottle at once.
In other words, materials with a total value of more than 500 million can only be used for drawing a maximum of 375 times.
Is that a lot?
It’s still quite a lot for Li Qing, after all, the success rate is there.
But this is not the case for ordinary magic pattern constructors. They do not have the terrifying success rate of Li Qing. Even senior magic pattern constructors often fail.
When formally drawing a magic pattern structure, I will first practice to get a feel for it and find the state.
During this period, real magic ink was used. It was not like Li Qing who could pretend to simulate it in the palm space without ink, which would result in loss.
For them, if they could successfully create a magic pattern construct before a batch of magic potions ran out, it would be a great success.
Most of the time, even after using several bottles, you may not be successful once.
If the level is poor, it may fail more than ten times in a row, and fifty or sixty million materials will be wasted.
But once it can be successfully produced, the price of any first-level basic magic pattern structure is more than 30 million, and most of the cost will be recovered.
If the success rate is a little higher, you can succeed after five or six failures and basically break even.
If you can succeed after two or three failures, then you can make money, and a big profit.
This is the power of cutting-edge technology. The investment is terribly high, but the rate of return is amazing. It’s either a huge loss or a huge profit.
Because the success rate of most ordinary magic pattern constructors is about one in five, the price of a first-level basic magic pattern construction is 30 million each, and the price is completely determined by the output.
It is worth mentioning that 30 million is the price of a standard magic pattern. If a superior product with a bonus exceeding 20% is produced, the price will be capped.
The 21% bonus is 35 million, a direct increase of 5 million.
Every 1% increase thereafter will add 5 million.
Until the markup jumps to over 25%, each incremental increase will become 10 million.
If you can produce super-high-quality products and increase the markup to more than 30%, the price will be at another level.
This means that if you can make a basic magic pattern with a 25% bonus, you can sell it directly for 60 million.
If you can create a basic magic pattern with a 30% bonus, the price can reach 150 million.
For many heroes whose strength is stuck at the bottleneck of the Sanctuary and who find it difficult to be promoted to Legend, whose magic rune structures are already fully equipped and whose strength has hardly improved in decades, if the magic rune structures on their bodies increase from the 20% bonus of the basic version to a 30% bonus, and the total of several of them become more than 50% stronger out of thin air, they will definitely be very willing to spend an extra 100 million or 200 million to increase their strength by 50%.
It has to be said that the subsidiary realm of the Supreme Order Throne is very efficient. Less than half an hour after he placed the order, the goods were delivered outside the floating city.
After a series of inspections, all the magic materials were delivered to him.
Li Qing received the things and returned to the high tower of the divine realm. He began to process the materials and prepare the magic ink.
In Li Qing's hands, these 125 magic potions were enough to successfully draw more than 150 first-level magic pattern structures.
Well, the premise is to continue drawing the basic strength.
If you want to try to draw basic constitution, basic agility and other basic structures that you have not tried yet, you will probably have to fail many times before you succeed.
Fortunately, Li Qing doesn’t have this idea at this stage. He has to make a lot of money first.
After hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door, Li Qing returned to the divine realm and began his journey to make money.
With previous successful experience, constructing the basic power magic pattern was not too difficult for him at this time. It was mainly a matter of proficiency.
But now there are more than 300 production opportunities here, and this level of proficiency can be developed in minutes.
As time passed, Li Qing stayed in front of the table, concentrating on drawing the basic power magic pattern.
As time passed, a three-dimensional complex magic pattern composed of thousands of magic arrays slowly appeared in front of him.
Compared to the first time which took five hours, the second time which took eight hours, the fourth time which took seven and a half hours, and the last time which took more than seven hours, I didn't feel the slightest bit of unfamiliarity when I tried it again this time, and it was just as fast as last time.
Unknowingly, seven hours passed and as the last stroke was made, a trace of magic power as stable as at the beginning mixed into the magic ink. The palm-sized super-complex three-dimensional magic pattern structure lit up slightly, and a flash of spiritual light flowed through the entire magic pattern structure at a speed that ordinary people could not sense.
To outsiders, it seemed that this palm-sized magic pattern structure just flashed.
Magic pattern construction: first-level power.
Attributes: Strength +20%.
Occupancy value: 10 points.
"Perfect!"
A complete standard magic pattern construction has a 20% bonus and 10 points of occupancy.
Later on, as your skills become more sophisticated, the bonus will slowly increase, and the occupancy value will occasionally decrease.
It is worth mentioning that for every point the occupancy value decreases, the additional price will double from 100 million.
100 million + 200 million + 400 million + 800 million + 1.6 billion = 3.1 billion.
Well, the limit of reducing the occupancy value is 5 points, and it is impossible to reduce it further.
That is to say, if you can draw a first-order magic pattern construct with a bonus of only 20% but a value of only 5 points, this thing will be worth 3.1 billion at least.
This is certainly not worth it for ordinary strong men, but for those strong men who have developed themselves to the extreme and have no room for improvement, they can free up 5 extra points of occupancy value and add a new magic pattern, even if it is a first-level magic pattern that only increases the power by 20% .
For a demigod, is it powerful to be able to be strengthened by 20% under extreme circumstances?
To them, 3.1 billion is nothing. If it can be exchanged for a new magic pattern to strengthen themselves, any one of them will pay the money without hesitation.
The only question is whether there is one.
After a successful production, Li Qing took out a large exquisite box, opened it and found many special sockets inside. Seven previously made magic pattern structures were already inserted in it, and then he inserted this newly made magic pattern structure into it.
He planned to make some first, and then sell them together after he had enough to fill a box of 50.
After doing this, Li Qing put away his things and prepared to do other things.
This thing is too energy-consuming. I can only do one a day. If I do a second one, the success rate will increase significantly. I dare not take the risk.
After putting away the things, Li Qing walked out of the Divine Realm Tower, turned around and looked up at the tower. He was already thinking that after collecting 50 magic patterns and selling them, he would prepare to collect materials to build his own wizard tower.
Now this tower plus the underground energy pool has a total of three floors, which is totally insufficient.
Considering the skills and techniques he is learning now, Li Qing plans to build an advanced wizard tower in one go, and then set up a bunch of laboratories, so as to avoid having to make everything in those two laboratories like now.
After resting for a while and feeling almost refreshed, Li Qing returned to the laboratory and started making an iron golem as usual.
A lot of refined gold and mithril has been accumulated through previous training, and now 130 steel golems have been produced one after another, and are now all stored on the third floor of the second divine domain farm.
More than one hundred five-meter-tall steel golems were placed there in an array, like a steel torrent, simply unstoppable.
With these, coupled with the space dragon descendants who are gradually transforming, Li Qing is full of expectations for this summer camp.
After staying in his own divine domain for nearly four days, Li Qing finally received the doorbell ringing, indicating that someone was looking for him. At this time, he had just made four steel golems and four first-level power magic pattern constructs. There was no breakthrough, and all of them had the standard 20% bonus.
Walking out of the gate to the divine realm standing in the center of the room, Li Qing turned on the communication and saw two people sending him messages.
One was Gu Qingxin, and the other was a friend request from five-star mentor Tai Shujing, along with a message.
Gu Qingxin's message was a simple hello, indicating that she was here.
Tai Shujing is the leading instructor of this academy. The instructor is responsible for communicating with other instructors and the summer camp organizing committee. If they have any questions and cannot find the person in charge, or if there is a conflict with other academies, they can report it directly to Tai Shujing.
