The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

I hope to present you with the most perfect story possible. 5

Chapter 12: Gacha pulls will bankrupt three generations, and spending money on in-game purchases will ruin your life!

"Chen Li, what's wrong? Chen Li, don't scare me!"

"Why, why were you both fine when we parted, but when I returned you were gone? Waaaaah."

"Don't cry, don't cry. Alicia, your crying doesn't look real at all," Chen Li said sadly.

"But you look really unwell. Is the weapon not finished? Or did something sad happen? You can tell me anything." Alicia looked at Chen Li sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup with a blank expression, and seemed very worried.

"Oh, the weapon is finished. It's ready for pickup at any time."

"You forged 1 standard weapons in 7 days? You must have been swinging your forging hammer until it sparked, right? Oh wait, forging naturally produces sparks." Alicia expressed her surprise at the opportune moment.

"Forging weapons I've already forged only requires a certain amount of energy, such as Honkai Crystals, to quickly synthesize them. While the quality isn't as good as those I forged myself, it's not bad either," Chen Li said casually.

Besides a forging table, Chen Li also has a synthesis table.

But weapons synthesized at the synthesis table have no soul.

In layman's terms, forging a weapon this way provides very little enhancement to Chen Li, and the enhancement effect of similar weapons may even decrease. Furthermore, it does not increase the experience gained from the Oddity Forger profession or the "Forging" life skill.

Forging artifact embryos by hand does not increase professional experience, but it does increase forging skill experience and a considerable amount of physical enhancement.

托这100件奇物胚胎的福，陈离的锻造经验加了300，使锻造技能升级到了lv7（130/700）

Chen Li felt that having forged one extraordinary artifact and 100 embryonic extraordinary artifacts, he could now defeat two versions of himself before he transmigrated.

At the same time, only about 1 in 1000 chance of the synthesized weapon has a special effect, and the final result is that Chen Li forged 11 special weapons.

Chen Li did not put them away, but wanted to see what kind of entries would be formed after these 11 special weapons fell into other people's hands and fermented over time.

"Then what do you have to be sad about? Is it because you haven't seen me for seven days? If you say that, I'll be very happy." Alicia blinked.

"Alicia, have you ever heard a saying?"

"What? Is it that Alicia's beauty is unparalleled?" Alicia asked with great interest.

Alicia really liked this sentence.

"No, it's gacha pulls that bankrupt three generations, and pay-to-win that ruins a lifetime." Chen Li felt that his resentment at this moment could even engulf the entire room of the Firemoth...

Therefore, Chen Li decided to build her happiness on the suffering of others.

"What do you mean?"

"Does that mean... you want to try your luck in the lottery?" Chen Luo took out a few purple star stones and held them in his hand, tempting Alicia, who couldn't take her eyes off the star stones.

……

"You mean you can spend this starstone to get a chance to obtain forging materials from different worlds? But the uncertainty is very high?" Alicia played with the starstone, which was as beautiful as a purple starry sky, with great affection.

In terms of appearance alone, Xing Shi is indeed top-notch.

That's enough to lure a naive young girl home.

The allure for Alicia is self-evident.

“Hmm. Like just now, I spent 10 star stones to draw two items, and the effects were both very abstract.” Chen Li nodded.

A ghost story that will reappear no matter where you throw it, and a Desert Eagle with unlimited ammo.

This is the "Starry Sea Treasure" feature in the Oddity Forging Guide, which allows you to randomly obtain items using Time Crystals.

What you gain will be equivalent to the number of star stones you invest, and it will inevitably contain sufficient traces of "time, space, and destiny".

This feature complements the Oddity Forger profession.

In addition to random acquisition, acquisition can also be restricted.

Chen Li can consistently acquire special items from worlds that have established miracle beacons.

However, the Honkai world is quite large, and Chen Li needs all kinds of entries right now, so he doesn't have to be limited to the Honkai world. Therefore, Chen Li first drew two completely random Star Sea Treasures.

"Is this thing very precious?" Alicia asked.

"Very precious."

Because spacetime energy is automatically restored, Chen Li can only obtain one star stone a day. It sounds like a lot, but it's only 365 star stones a year.

Perhaps it's because the Honkai world is a bit special, or perhaps it's because he's in another world, that Chen Li can now obtain 10 star stones every 7 days.

"I see," Alicia said softly.

"Want it?"

"Mmm." Alicia nodded repeatedly.

"I can give you 20."

"Really?"

"But these 20 are funds for forging rare items for you. You can choose to use them to draw cards, or you can choose to keep them all," Chen Li said with a smile.

"Xiao Li, why are you smiling so maliciously?"

"No, I just wanted you to experience the conflicted and painful feeling I had. So here's my question: are you going to draw the card, or are you going to keep it for yourself?" Chen Li placed a small bag of star stones in her hand.

Chen Li glanced at the remaining balance after giving the Star Stone to Alicia.

Star Stones: 110 (+50)

"+50" represents the disturbance caused by Chen Li handing the Star Stone to Alicia, but it has not been added yet.

These star stones might prove invaluable in the future.

So this giveaway is definitely worthwhile.

"What a vicious lottery." Alicia's hand trembled.

So you don't want it?

“Yes!” Alicia nodded.

"Let's begin then," Chen Li gestured.

Chen Li thought this model was pretty good, allowing people who were unsure what rare item they wanted to draw cards themselves, thus preventing Chen Li from getting frustrated due to bad luck.

The prerequisite is that the other party has to pay for forging.

"How many star stones should I use for my first time?" Alicia asked directly.

As for worrying?

Don't worry! How could a beautiful girl have bad luck?

“The Star Sea Treasure you obtain is directly proportional to the quality of the Star Stones you invest; any number of Star Stones will do. My first investment was 5 Star Stones,” Chen Li said.

“Then…” Alicia picked out a 10-star stone, intending to crush it in one go.

"But then again, one forging material isn't enough to forge a rare item; you need at least two or three," Chen Li suddenly reminded him.

"Can you finish next time?" Alicia complained, then crushed five star stones.

With Chen Li's permission, the originally indestructible star stone burst open like a bubble in Alicia's hands.

A mysterious black hole appeared before Alicia.

"Put your finger in and take the thing out," Chen Li instructed.

"Oh." Alicia nodded, then eagerly reached her hand into the black hole.

After Alicia painstakingly took the item out, Chen Li and Alicia looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is this? Is it cloth?" Alicia tilted her head.

“This… looks like Heavenly Garment fabric,” Chen Li said after taking a look.

Chen Li was able to recognize the basic information of the Star Sea Treasures that he had just taken out of the Star Sea Treasury.

"Tianyi?"

"Yes, it's seamless. Clothes made from this kind of fabric have no seams."

"Can you use it?"

"It can be used to forge wondrous items, to extract inscriptions, and also as a carrier. Although I don't know how to sew clothes with Celestial Cloth, I can just spend 1 crystal to make it adapt automatically," Chen Li said.

"So it's a big prize?"

"Hmm, the grand prize. Let's continue."

"I knew it! Cute girls can do anything."

Alicia was full of confidence. Alicia crushed the five-star stone again and charged forward!

……

"What kind of wondrous things can these items be forged together?" Alicia, who only had two star stones left, looked at the items in front of her and couldn't help but ask.

Alicia now understands why Chen Li was so melancholy at the beginning.

Because Alicia is almost depressed.

Gacha games are something that people both love and hate.
