Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 107 Bottoming Out
On the fourth floor of the Yunshuang branch, in Yang Shan’s exclusive alchemy room.

The maid, wearing a cheongsam with the hem barely covering her thighs but with the slits up to her waist, was holding delicious snacks, swaying her graceful figure, and slowly squatting beside Chao Bafang:
"Mr. Chao, please have some refreshments!"

Chao Bafang swallowed his saliva.

Which man can resist this temptation?
[It is detected that your testosterone level is abnormally high. The system reminds you: The Guan-Bao friendship system has not been implemented yet. Please calm down. If your testosterone level continues to be at a peak, the system will pop up a "Network Health Questionnaire" for you. ]

"Depend on!"

Chao Bafang was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he was helpless. He could only turn his head away and waved his hands.

"Then I will not disturb you two gentlemen."

Although Chao Bafang's status in the Yunshuang branch is not as high as Yang Shan's, he is also a key training target. If nothing unexpected happens, when the top forces of the Gama Empire are allowed to join in future versions, Chao Bafang will definitely be the first to join the Mitel family.

Yang Shan didn't even look at the maid from beginning to end.

Take this as a test for the experienced ones?
Which old-timer can’t stand such a test?

At least she has to be a beauty on Yafei’s level!

Yang Shan came to the wall.

There is a scroll hanging on the wall.

It says:

AI Nuwa!

Yang Shan first washed his hands thoroughly, and then lit three incense sticks.

No matter whether it is useful or not, give it a full sense of ritual first!
Turning around, Yang Shan took out the Silver Frost Cauldron from his storage ring.

The Silver Frost Cauldron is much larger than the standard medicine cauldrons placed in the alchemy room.

It hit the ground with a thud, spilling a lot of tea in all directions' cups.

He trotted forward in all directions and looked around fiercely:
"This medicine cauldron is much more exquisite than those second-level medicine cauldrons shown off on the forum!"

No wonder Chao Bafang made such a fuss.

Chao Bafang is already a top player in the current version, and his vision is definitely much higher than that of ordinary players.

But unfortunately, Yang Shan has many top-quality props that cannot be produced normally in the current version.

Take out the mutated magic core and inject it with fighting spirit.

A wisp of green flame ignited in the palm of his hand.

There was great fear in all directions:
"Qinglian Earth Heart Fire?"

Yang Shan: "It's only version 1.1 and you're already thinking about the strange fire?"

He scratched his head in all directions:

"It's mainly because the color of the flames brings back memories."

Yang Shan: "Drink tea and eat snacks while I start refining medicine!"

Yang Shan shared the perspective of alchemy with Chao Bafang, so that Chao Bafang could truly understand what the alchemy process of Doupo was like.

During this period, Yang Shan did not spend too much time on refining medicine, but he never stopped collecting medicinal materials.

But the medicinal herbs collected by Yang Shan were not the Body Tempering Pills and Yuan Gathering Pills.

He had long expected that these two kinds of elixirs would appear in large quantities in the trading house.

So he only collected the Barrier Breaking Pill and the medicinal materials related to the newly acquired Bone Shaping Pill.

Yang Shan had just worshipped the AI ​​Nuwa, so he started to refine the Bone Shaping Pill with full confidence!

The green jade python fire was burning fiercely in the silver frost cauldron.

But no heat could be felt outside the medicine cauldron.

Good fire and a good cauldron will make alchemy a success!

White True Fruit, Gray Vine Branch, Black Sand, and the third-order wood attribute magic core follow this

[Players please note, the first step of refining the elixir is now starting: refining. The game is randomly drawing.]

[The current game is: Music Beat, success rate requirement: 90%! ]

Yang Shanhe heard extremely melodious music from all directions.

Everyone in all directions could not help but nod their heads rhythmically, and then began to sing along with the music:
"Let me take off your forehead, it will slowly melt away with a tickling sound."

Yang Shan's hand suddenly shook and he pressed the wrong key.

"Happo, shut up!"

"I can't help myself, I can't help myself"

Yang Shan was fully focused and made no mistakes in the subsequent key presses.

The success rate is 98%!

Clearance!

[Players please note, the second step of refining the elixir begins below: fusion. The game is randomly drawing]

The subsequent steps are integration and nurturing, and the mini-games are Tetris and Gold Miner respectively.

Yang Shan passed the level perfectly.

Lian Chao Bafang couldn't help but say:
"Pretty!"

The gameplay of these games is indeed simple, but it still requires a lot of reaction and judgment from the players.

Except for the loud roar he made at the beginning, Yang Shan did not make any mistakes. This is definitely a skill that only an old player who has been immersed in various games for many years can have!
No wonder Yang Shan is the best in the server in alchemy even though he majors in thunder attribute.

Now comes the most critical moment.

Whether the elixir is successful or not, this moment is also called "character moment", "luck moment" and "life span moment".

In short, it has nothing to do with the player's skills.

It all depends on luck.

The Bone Shaping Pill is a top-grade elixir at the third stage that can increase free attributes. Its standard success rate is even lower than that of the Body Tempering Pill, at only 16%!

For a third-grade elixir, the Green Jade Python Fire can increase the amplification by 80%, and the Silver Frost Cauldron can increase it by another 20%.

The theoretical success rate of Bone Shaping Pill has been raised to: 32%.

But Yang Shan himself still has 13 points of fortune.

If the hidden bonus is taken into account, the success rate of refining Bone Shaping Pill may be as high as 40%!

[Ding! Bone Shaping Pill Refining Failed!] Chao Bafang looked at the pile of black charcoal spilling out of the medicine cauldron and excitedly rushed over to pick it up:

"Haha, Bone Shaping Pill. Hmm? Why is it all charcoal? Where's the pill?"

"Cough cough!"

Yang Shan pretended to be calm and said:

"Failed."

Chao Bafang also noticed Yang Shan's embarrassment and tried hard to hold back his laughter, but his shoulders couldn't stop shaking. He could only return to his seat to drink tea and eat snacks to divert his attention.

Yang Shan made some adjustments and started refining for the second time.

[Ding! Failed to refine the bone-shaping pill! ]

[Ding! Failed to refine the bone-shaping pill! ]

Yang Shan's face was now just as black as this pile of failed products, as black as charcoal.

He added another blow to all directions:

"Master, would you like to check the almanac first?"

Yang Shan: "God, why bother looking at the almanac? Do I need to study metaphysics to play a game?"

Chao Bafang: "As the saying goes, if science can't explain it, then only metaphysics can explain it."

Yang Shan immediately pulled up the calendar:

"On the fifth, fourteenth, and twenty-third of the lunar month, Laojun's furnace is not refining elixirs. Let me see, today is the sixth day, um, no problem!"

Towards Bafang: "Great God, didn't you say you don't engage in metaphysics?"

Yang Shan: "Although we are talking about science, this is our ancient Chinese culture after all, we still have to respect it. Stop talking, I'm going to start making the elixir!"

Yang Shan was in good shape today and made basically no mistakes in the mini-games.

But
[Ding! Failed to refine the bone-shaping pill! ]

Without waiting for Chao Bafang to ask anything, Yang Shan said directly:

"The success rate of refining the Bone Shaping Pill is only 5%. It is normal to fail many times. Don't worry, I have plenty of medicinal materials!"

Yang Shan lied about the data without blushing or beating his heart in order to cover up the fact that he was unlucky.

"Forty percent success rate, four consecutive failures? It's time to rebound."

Yang Shanshen sent a ghost to throw a third-order wood-attribute magic core of the King of Beasts level into the medicine cauldron.

The Bone Shaping Pill uses a Beast King-level magic core. If it is successfully refined, there is a 50% chance of making the pill perfect.

The Silver Frost Cauldron can increase the completion refining rate by 50%.

In other words, if the alchemy is successful this time, there will be a 75% chance of refining a perfect bone-shaping pill!

Chao Bafang had been working hard to find the Wood-attributed Beast King during this period, but he only got two for Yang Shan!
Yang Shan spent another 6,000 RMB to buy two coins from a trading house.

If we fail this time, the total loss of medicinal materials will exceed four thousand yuan!
But if successful.
Yang Shan performed at a high level and completed the three steps of medicine refining perfectly.

At this point, Yang Shan couldn't help but breathe faster.

Chao Bafang didn't even continue chewing the pastry in his mouth. He subconsciously stretched his neck to see whether what came out of the medicine cauldron was still charcoal.

"It's black again!"

Seeing the black shadow coming out of the medicine cauldron, Chao Bafang couldn't help but scream.

But Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Look carefully, who said that pills can't be black?"

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully refining one furnace (three) of Bone Shaping Pills (perfect), and gaining 200 points of alchemy experience and 400 points of character experience.]

Yang Shan carefully placed the three pills into three porcelain bottles, and at the same time sent the properties of the Bone Shaping Pill to Chao Bafang.

Bone Shaping Pill (Perfect)

Grade: Grade 3

Effect: Gain 12 free attributes.

Restriction: Can only be taken once, not effective for Fighting King level and above.

"How much? How much?"

Chao Bafang is now strong enough to easily kill a second-level Beast King alone, and can also fight to the death with a third-level Beast King.

In addition, there were no other players at the Yunshuang branch competing with him for the mission.

As a result, Chao Bafang has been making a lot of money by producing in-game props during this period!
Although it is not as high as Yang Shan who can easily spend tens or even hundreds of millions in one go.

But Chao Bafang’s bank card balance, which was almost at the bottom, has now increased to 200,000!

It has been almost two months since the launch of "Fights Break Sphere", and Chao Bafang's revenue has skyrocketed since version 1.1.

Two hundred thousand a month, the monthly salary of a senior executive of a large company is about this income!
Therefore, Chao Bafang now has the confidence to ask Yang Shan for the price.

But Yang Shan shook his head:

“Not for sale at this time.”

Chao Bafang was stunned: "Master, if it is a company benefit, it's okay. I won't always take advantage of the company."

Chao Bafang was already very grateful for being able to sign the "Free Man Contract" and getting a lot of help and advice from Yang Shan, so when Yang Shan gave him a task, Chao Bafang always worked hard to carry it out.

Indeed, there was no intention to deliberately take advantage of the company. The contract stipulated 10% of the personal income of the signed players, and there was no ambiguity when it came to transferring money to various parties.

Yang Shan: "Banfang, that's not what I meant. You have been working hard during this period, and you still have to have company benefits. But this elixir is effective if you take it before becoming a Dou Wang. You are not afraid of not being able to buy it. Everything should be cost-effective. Why bother to compete with those local tyrants?"

Yang Shan patted Chao Bafang's shoulder and smiled sinisterly:

"I'm the only one who has the Bone Shaping Pill right now, but it's destined to plummet in price like the Body Tempering Pill in the future. I'll make some money first, and then I'll just give you one of these pills!"

Think carefully in all directions.

That makes sense!

If you want to buy this bone-shaping pill now, it will probably cost at least 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.

My boss has spoken.

Wouldn't it be great to wait for the next version and get one for free?
