The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Heavenly Robe, the broken Gale Sword, a copy of 'The Guide to Winning Over a Love-Obsessed Person,' and a strand of gorgeous golden hair cut from a princess?" Chen Li scratched his head as he looked at these items.

This is why Alicia couldn't help herself—could these things really be used to make magical items?

"Sure, no problem. I already have a preliminary idea," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Then please."

"So, Alicia, are you planning to forge a bow or a piece of clothing?" Chen Li asked.

"Can clothes be used too?"

“Yes, the object is just a vessel.” Chen Li nodded.

The so-called "wonderful embryo" is actually a preparation made to compensate for the lack of offensive power of functional wonders.

Alicia clearly has no shortage of attack methods.

"Then clothes will do."

Are there any style requirements?

"Anything is fine with me. Don't you think I look good in anything?" Alicia tilted her head.

"Alright, you wait here for me for 30 minutes." Chen Li agreed to Alicia's request and left with the items.

Back in the forging workshop, Chen Li lit the forging furnace and threw everything in except for the Heavenly Robe.

As the items gradually dimmed, words of varying brightness appeared in the flames.

[Extreme Speed], [Wind Control], [Hatred], [Love], [Obsession], [Magnificent], [Imprisonment]...

These items all have "stories," and although the original entries extracted from them are not as vivid as those on relics, they are still useful.

Looking at these brightly colored entries, Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then plunged his hand into the Miracle Flame. A drop of blood oozed from Chen Li's finger and was subsequently melted by the Miracle Flame.

Everything is for the sake of getting more crystals!

Time, Space, Destiny

Three new terms emerged from the flames.

Chen Li raised the Hammer of Miracles high.

Forging begins.

Chapter 13 Alicia: You call these black stockings "Attack Speed ​​Gear"? Attack whom?

"..."

"..."

"Xiao Li, are you sure this is my wonder?" Alicia tilted her head, her gaze towards Chen Li slightly scrutinizing.

"Because you said it didn't matter, I chose the random style, so it's not my fault. Besides, it cost me 1 crystal." Chen Li glanced to the side, not daring to look directly at Alicia.

What appeared before Alicia was a pair of black stockings.

[Attack Speed ​​Gear]: As the saying goes, the less you wear, the higher your defense. The black silk made from celestial garments possesses powerful defensive capabilities. Wearing black silk in battle increases your attack speed; the more elegant and graceful your fighting stance, the faster your attack speed.

Effect: If using a bow and arrow, the arrows can be transformed into arrows of love, carrying the "Love" effect. Blessed by time and fate, when facing an attack and successfully dodging it, a time-freezing field effect will be triggered, temporarily slowing down the flow of time.

(When an enemy's Affection value reaches 100, they will be "Charmed" and unable to act. The rate at which the "Affection" effect stacks is also affected by the elegance and grace of the battle stance.)

P.S.: This is a pair of black stockings imbued with someone's "heart and soul"! Therefore, under certain circumstances, these black stockings can be transformed into white stockings. The alluring effect of white stockings is the true allure.

(Miracle: I'm trying to optimize the mechanism for randomly crafting artifacts in the Forge's Recycle Bin. To be honest, this intelligent combination mechanism is just plain stupid!)

Oh, and by the way, sometimes making good use of the negative artifacts that the recycle bin might produce can create even bigger miracles. The advantage of negative artifacts is that you won't feel guilty giving them to the villains; you can use them to your advantage.

The strange items born in the recycling bin are randomly decomposed and fused from discarded entries that Chen Li neither saved nor used, so there is a considerable probability that they may produce negative strange items.

Its advantage is that it's cheap.

If there are enough discarded entries stored in the recycle bin, putting in 10 crystals might yield four or five rare items a day later.

The downside is its high randomness; it's highly likely to be a negative item.

But it can be used to scam people.

"Although the effects of this artifact are not as superior as I imagined, but... why don't you give it a try?" Chen Li asked after explaining the contents of the artifact to Alicia, excluding the comments about the PS and "miracle".

"Hmm, doesn't it sound amazing? The more elegant and beautiful the fighting stance, the faster the attack speed. Isn't this just for me? I really like this outfit." Alicia stroked the black stockings and praised Chen Li.

Alicia likes pretty things.

Judging by appearance alone, these black stockings are indeed very beautiful. Alicia held them in her hands and stroked them, finding them very comfortable to the touch.

"I'm glad you like it. But actually, it's not a particularly outstanding artifact, because the advantage of artifacts often lies in their ability to manipulate the rules."

Yet this wondrous object is indeed suitable for Alicia, because Alicia's fighting style is truly elegant and beautiful.

"Does it matter? As long as I'm satisfied, isn't that enough?"

“That’s true. Also, the length of these black stockings can be adjusted when worn on the legs. The shorter the length, the weaker the permanent effect, but the stronger the defense,” Chen Li said.

The less you wear, the higher your defense. This is not just a casual saying.

"Is this also a random, magical effect?"

"No, this is my design."

"The design is good, but don't design it like that next time. Have you ever thought about how I'll use it for defense if it's too short?" Alicia asked, her words like a question piercing the soul.

"...Ahem, well, something is better than nothing, right? What if it comes in handy? For example, what if I created a magical artifact that could generate a shield based on defensive capabilities?" Chen Li's thoughts started to wander again.

“I’ll accept this rare item. How much should I pay you?” Alicia asked.

"money?"

“Yes, didn’t you say at the beginning that I should bring my own materials? And you said that miracles aren’t free. But now the Star Stone is yours, so the materials you get with it are naturally yours too.” Alicia nodded.

"let me see……"

After handing over this wondrous item to Alicia, Chen Li immediately received 20 crystals.

In the future, Alicia can use it to achieve more victories in a battle or accomplish other miracles.

No one knows what the future holds.

It couldn't possibly be that Alicia used it to seduce Chen Li, could it?

It took 10 crystals to make this wonder.

Although this artifact doesn't have many special rules and doesn't require increasing the initial quota, it still cost 8 crystals to extract attributes from these items using Miracle Fire, which is more Miracle Fire than was used to forge [Pale Justice].

The items won in these lotteries do indeed carry the echoes of time and fate, but they still cannot compare to the quality of relics.

The other two crystals were used for the automatic shaping of the Heavenly Garment and for preserving the [Imprisonment] and [Wind Control] attributes.

Oddity Forger Job Experience +8.

At the same time, Chen Li also received 50 Star Stones from giving the Star Stone to Alicia, as well as 50 Star Stones from giving the Strange Item to Alicia.

These two are separate arguments.

A rare item earned me 10 crystals and 100 star stones.

More importantly, after completing the beginner quest "Complete a Request", you can receive even more crystals!

"I want more and more valuable entries!" Chen Li said.

"I'll try my best to keep an eye out for items containing valuable entries. Before that... here, there's 500 million in here." Alicia tossed a card in front of Chen Li.

"500 million? Rich woman, I'm hungry!"

"Ahem, this is actually my salary card. It contains my reward for defeating the Herrscher of the Void. But you and I both know the real situation, so... once you've spent the money, remember to return the card to me," Alicia said.

"Wow, is the bounty that big?"

"You stayed in the engineering department for seven days straight, and didn't even have time to pick up the ID card and salary card that Moth Chaser made for you. But it seems like there's not much money in your salary card."

"Hmm, it's probably because I converted all the credit for defeating the Herrscher of the Void into a business." Chen Li nodded.

What industry?

"A game company."

"A game company? Oh, what kind of game are you planning to release?"

"Yes, among my must-have items for time travel, I've prepared some fun mini-games, animations, comics, and songs," Chen Li nodded.

All of this was done so that Chen Li could have a better chance of survival.

"Oh, what was the name of the first game?"

"Three Kingdoms Kill!" Chen Li said.

Forget about how many negative reviews Three Kingdoms Kill has, just tell me whether it's making money or not!

Oh, by the way, in order to prevent his reputation from being ruined, Chen Li used the name "Fool's Tavern" when registering the company.

His code name within the company, as the chairman, was "Fireworks." He also served as a game planner.

I, Huahuo, will bear the blame and hardship for the players!
