I am a male god in Liyue

The price of a bottle of [Soothing Pill] is 50 points, and there are a total of five pills in it. If all of them are converted into [Soothing Incense] for recycling, the cost can be recovered.

But it's not enough to be able to repay the money. What Xia Zhi needs is a way to earn points stably so that he can freely open the treasure chest.

He needed to find a way to make extraordinary items that could be produced in large quantities and at a low enough cost.

Because the recycling price of the system is calculated based on the lowest price of its current quality regardless of the selling price of the item.

For example, the black iron items sold for 1 point in the [Mall] and the black iron items sold for 9 points have a recycling price of 1 point.

So the extraordinary item he was looking for didn't need to be very effective, as long as it could meet the system's recycling standards.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and thought. He now has mastered basic alchemy knowledge and can refine many low-level extraordinary items.

But the most suitable thing for his current situation is probably incense.

One is that he has masterful knowledge of spices.

The second is that he has a [blazing incense burner], which has the hidden effect of "increasing the probability of making incense by 50% and increasing the probability of perfect incense by 20%". At least so far, he has not failed to make incense with it.

If you want to earn points stably, the most important thing is that the success rate is high enough.

Xia Zhi opened the system panel and filtered "incense" in the [Mall].

A list of items appeared in front of him.

Joy Incense, price 2 points.

Drunk incense, price 3 points.

Calming incense, priced at 3 points.

Dream-inducing incense, priced at 4 points.

Soul-Calming Incense, priced at 5 points.

Exorcism incense, price 6 points.

Royal Thunder Incense, price 8 points.

Praying for rain and incense, the price is 10 points.

……

Xia Zhi actually found the soothing incense he made in the list, and it was quite expensive, costing 3 points.

This is just an ordinary soothing incense. If it were replaced by a perfect soothing incense, the price would probably increase a bit more.

Xia Zhi glanced at the other incense curiously, then focused on the cheapest incense and clicked on it to see its detailed information.

【Happy Incense】

Quality: Black Iron.

Type: Consumable.

Features: None.

Effect: Can make people happy.

Hidden effect: None.

Price: 2 points.

The lower the price of the product, the lower the cost. Anyway, the recycling price of black iron quality items is 1 point, so I chose it.

After Xia Zhi decided, he searched the [Mall] for its preparation method.

[How to make joyful incense]

Quality: Black Iron.

Type: Book.

Features: None.

Effect: This is a book that records the preparation method of Joy Incense.

Hidden effect: None.

Price: 1 points.

Xia Zhi bought it and began to read it carefully.

"...the fragrance can be adjusted by yourself...but the joyful effect requires the use of three extraordinary materials, snake blood wood, star shell, and succubus hair..."

When Xia Zhi saw this, his face couldn't help but become a little weird.

Succubus hair?

Is this the kind of succubus I thought she was?

Wait, is the "joy" in this [Joy Incense] the kind of "joy" I think of?

Forget it.

No matter, it's just for recycling anyway.

Let’s make it first and see.

Xia Zhi found these three extraordinary materials in the [Mall], all priced at 1 point.

He had no extra points now, so he could only take out another [Soothing Pill] and cut it, and then refined a few copies of [Soothing Incense] to recycle them, and then bought these three raw materials.

A section of bright red wood looked like it had just been soaked in blood.

A white shell with countless dotted lines.

A ball of purple hair exuded a strange and sultry fragrance.

Xia Zhi used the black iron quality dagger to cut them into appropriate parts, and then chose the same spice ratio as the [Soothing Incense].

According to the requirements of the production method, he put the raw materials into the [blazing incense burner] one by one.

After waiting quietly for almost 8 minutes, a faint fragrance wafted from the stove.

Because Xia Zhi uses the same spices, there is no change in the fragrance. Its fragrance smells exactly the same as the fragrance of [Soothing Incense].

But the effect is completely different.

Xia Zhi just smelled the fragrance that came out when the fragrance was made, and felt that his mood became happy involuntarily.

Open the stove lid and pour out the incense inside.

This is a blood-red crystal with dots of strange lines floating inside. It looks more beautiful than [Soothing Incense].

Xia Zhi held it in his hand and admired it for a while, then put it in his inventory.

An item description appears on the system panel.

【The perfect incense of joy】

Quality: Black Iron.

Type: Consumable.

Features: None.

Effect: Special incense made from a hot incense burner can please people's hearts and lure ghosts and gods.

Hidden effect: The burning duration is increased by 30%, and the joyful temptation effect is increased by 30%.

Recovery price: 1 points.

It's Perfect Chengxiang again, with a "perfect" prefix added to the item name and a new hidden effect.

Sure enough, as he suspected, regardless of quality, as long as it is a "perfect" extraordinary item, it can have hidden effects.

And because of the bonus of [Blazing Incense Burner], its effect becomes different from the ordinary [Joyful Incense] sold in the [Mall], with a strange description of "tempting ghosts and gods".

Xia Zhi looked at the item description on the system panel, thought for a while, then put it away and continued to use the remaining extraordinary materials to refine a new [Happy Incense].

It took him more than an hour to use up all the extraordinary materials and refine a total of 11 pieces of [Happy Incense] without a single failure.

A simple calculation shows that it costs 3 points to purchase the raw materials. In the end, recycling all the results can earn 11 points, and the net income is 8 points.

Xia Zhi rubbed his face and felt that his spirit suddenly became very tired.

He opened the system panel and checked his character information.

The mental power value above has become extremely low.

How is this going?

Xia Zhi felt a little strange and checked the log again.

"Using [Blazing Incense Burner] once, successfully refined [Happiness Incense], consuming 5 points of mental energy."

The above message immediately hit the screen.

It turned out to be because I kept using the [Blazing Incense Burner].

I originally thought that the [Blazing Incense Burner] was automatically refined, but I didn't expect that it would require consuming one's own mental power.

But Xia Zhi remembered that when he first used the [Blazing Incense Burner], he also refined more than a dozen pieces of incense, but he didn't feel as tired at that time as he does today. Is it because those incense were just ordinary incense?

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then prepared a portion of ordinary spices, refined them into incense using the [Blazing Incense Burner], and then went to look at the system panel.

This time his mental value did not decrease.

Sure enough, his mental energy would only be consumed when refining extraordinary items.

It seems that in the future, we can't just increase the upper limit of mana, but also increase the upper limit of spiritual power. Otherwise, the speed of earning points will not be increased at all.

Xia Zhi recycled all the refined [Happiness Incense], obtained 11 points, then lit a piece of [Soothing Incense] and went to bed.

The finished first volume of manuscript was placed on the table.

He really didn't have the energy to observe the female reader's reaction today. He hoped she would like the big chapter.

Xia Zhi thought like this and fell asleep in this extremely reassuring fragrance.

--

Moon Sea Pavilion.

Even late at night, there is still a light on in a certain room.

The table was piled with various documents, and three intellectual young women were immersed in it, trying to deal with matters.

Under the light, their faces looked very haggard, and from time to time you could hear whining and sighing sounds coming from one of them.

"Why are there so many things to deal with?"

"I can't handle it at all."

"How does Senior Gan Yu do this? Her efficiency alone is actually higher than the three of us combined. Even if she is a half-immortal, isn't this terrifying?"

"When will Senior Gan Yu come back?"

"I feel like I'm going to die. Wow, I really want to rest."

"I won't be able to see the Moon Festival moon, right?"

"Ugh..."

Chapter 66 Gentle explanation Mr. Xia

After a long sleep, I woke up with my energy level back to full.

Xia Zhi got up from the bed, changed out of his pajamas, and did not go downstairs immediately. Instead, he first took out the [Blazing Incense Burner], bought three extraordinary materials in the mall, and refined three [Happiness Incense] at the table.

The mental value was subsequently reduced by 15 points.

But he didn't feel obviously tired at this time.

The mental value will slowly recover over time. As long as he doesn't continuously refine it for a period of time like last night, it's actually fine.

This can also be regarded as a kind of time management.

After putting away the incense burner and materials, Xia Zhi went downstairs to wash up, and went out to have breakfast with Zhuzi.

When I opened the door, there was a long queue outside the store just like yesterday.

Xia Zhi smiled and thanked everyone for their support of the store, but there was no half-price discount today.

After breakfast, Xia Zhi and Zhu Zi walked back.
