Chapter 113 Want a recommended solution? Go mine some minerals!
A day passed quickly, and the players failed to ascend, returning in defeat.
Most of the players were burned due to Fang Qi's mistake, becoming fuel for the furnace.
A small number of lucky individuals either encounter favorable circumstances or possess strong survival skills, leading to a successful mutation.
Among them, Crab Claw Warrior and Water Elemental (Jelly Man) are considered relatively good.
The less powerful ones are those who transform from luminous anglerfish into light bulb-like beings, whose green light can be seen from dozens of meters away; they can only be used as searchlights in mining areas.
There are also blocky figures made of metal, attempting mechanical flight; their entire bodies are square, and they can only roll around.
The scene at the furnace was incredibly horrific; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a near-death experience.
Even so, there weren't many complaints on the forums; most were still figuring out how to play and thanking Fang Qi: "This game has such a high degree of freedom! Before, equipment could be randomly fused, and now even races can be randomly fused!"
"I think my materials and technique are wrong. No, I'll wait a couple of days and see if there's a reset option. If not, I'll start over and try again!"
"Hahaha, I found some Storm Dragon droppings! Watch my performance tomorrow!"
"Based on the experiences of Catgirl and Dave, I feel that we need to find a race with a prototype—wouldn't that increase the chances of success?"
After Fang Qi chased all the players out, he closed the door and looked at the discussions on the forum.
Scrolling down, I found that the players' final topic of conversation revolved around resetting and pulling out NPCs' hair.
What a coincidence! Fang Qi thought the same thing!
As the saying goes, success is all the more precious because of failure.
He's in no hurry; he plans to let players experience the feeling of failure before launching his "reset" and custom race services.
But the hair of the alien NPCs—
Don't even think about it, he's already ripped them off!
Several days ago, Fang Qi had Vicky take the initiative and launched a special offer for students from other races, buying their hair at high prices.
The tail hair of catgirl Mina, as well as the hair of the original races such as the elves, the Scarlet Horns, and the Spirit Chestnuts, are now mostly stored in Fang Qi's warehouse.
The recent trend of wearing hats among students is actually due to this.
Okay, there's another reason.
The production of Storm Dragons is not very high, so we'll have to wait a while longer.
"Your situation is a case of failed genetic ascension, resulting in genetic mutation," Fang Qi replied, then closed the forum.
After get off work, I'm going to play cards with Xia to increase my affection for her!
Outside the Fantasy Library, Little Crouching Dragon and his fellow enthusiasts gathered together to exchange information.
"Did you get the catgirl's hair?" someone asked Little Crouching Dragon.
"No, that's strange," Xiao Wolong frowned, puzzled. "The classroom was spotless, not a single hair. I followed her for ages and finally saw a hair on her clothes, but then—"
He took a deep breath: "They reacted even faster than me, they just put it away and kicked it into their bag, like some kind of treasure—"
Sample!"
Xiao Wolong glanced around, expecting his fellow enthusiasts to be surprised, but instead saw everyone nodding in unison.
"What a coincidence, me too. I'm with a guy from the Scarlet Horn tribe who wears a hat, and he treats me like a thief."
"Me too! The Spirit Chestnut Clan members are so fast, I couldn't outrun them!"
"I—I went to find Aura, but I got kicked back to the respawn point!"
A comment popped up, and everyone turned to look at this guy who seemed to have no sense of propriety.
Oh, you're sisters. It's alright then.
Only people of the same sex would dare to do this, otherwise, if you harass NPCs when your favorability rating isn't high enough, you might get hunted down and have to delete your account!
"Big Sister is so cool, I want to become one too!" The female player exclaimed excitedly. "I just wanted to rub it a couple of times to see if it would peel. We're all the same sex, who knew they'd be so protective?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yes, they were so well protected that not a single hair on their heads could be found among their large group.
As for going back to Talosha to find it—
Isn't it because cutting the map requires too many materials and is a bit expensive?
Let's hold on for two more days and see.
The next day, Fang Qi opened the door as usual.
Although the number of people hasn't decreased, the queue for jumping into the furnace is much shorter than yesterday, and the materials they have are noticeably more normal. After a night of discussion, the players know this is a huge pitfall, and they are all taking a wait-and-see approach, waiting for the recipe or reset method to appear.
Fang Qi neither confirmed nor denied this.
Anyway, he's determined to make a big announcement at the end of today.
Whether players will remain so calm by then remains to be seen.
Perhaps yesterday was too dark, because today Fang Qi triggered the guaranteed drop and suddenly got a good guy.
The guy who posted on the forum yesterday wasn't lying; he actually found Storm Dragon droppings and brought them over.
The quantity is quite large!
At this moment, Fang Qi was looking at the furnace panel and thinking:
[Current forging result: Storm Dragonman, adjust or reforge?]
I pulled it a little in the direction of appearance.
The dragon-man's claws turned into palms, and his face gradually became more angular, which simply means he looked more like a handsome human.
We've shifted the focus towards performance.
Claws grew back, now covered in metallic-looking feathers with faint electric arcs, appearing sharp and enhanced by lightning magic.
The other party brought three lumps of materials. One lump has been used, and the rest is enough for the handling fee. Fang Qi decided to do them a favor and move the slider for them.
Both are good, so it's a bit difficult to choose.
Fang Qi opened the forum and began searching for this person's posts.
Check his household registration to see if he has spoken ill of himself — no, to see if he has any preferences.
We were chatting yesterday, and what we talked about the day before yesterday had nothing to do with me. The day before that, they said the scenery in Akasha was nice, and that Lelong drinks were quite good, so they bought a case.
Fang Qi was very satisfied; his clients were indeed of high quality.
Scrolling back further: "Blind boxes are such a rip-off. The NPCs selling blind boxes are so pretty, it's easy to buy a few without even realizing it."
"The probability of finding a treasure map is really low, but it's very interesting to dig it up. I've lost all the money I made."
It seems he's a loyal customer. I've decided to add some cosmetic enhancements.
Strength is temporary, but being cool is for a lifetime.
Fang Qi pulled the slider bar by 50%, turning the opponent into a human form while retaining some of the Storm Dragon's characteristics.
Compared to the genuine Scarlet Horn Clan, its horns are pure black, and it has more feathers on its sideburns, the back of its hands, and other parts.
He looks incredibly imposing, like a king of the Scarlet Horn Clan.
Not long after, the furnace went out, and today's lucky winners made their debut.
Amidst gasps from the audience, the lucky winner walked in front of the mirror, puzzled.
In an instant, he was so moved that he burst into tears.
How long has it been? How long has it been since he's been this lucky?
"See that?" The Storm Dragonman turned around, waving the remaining materials in his hand. "Only the most essential materials can yield the noblest bloodline!"
The players who had originally intended to approach and chat with the others all retreated in unison.
"Wow, this guy's awesome! It's probably best if he doesn't come any closer yet!"
"This flavor—it's simply authentic!"
Seeing this, Fang Qi secretly isolated the remaining two materials in the furnace and moved them to the toxic and harmful area behind the furnace, planning to put them on the market and ship them to players the next day.
Seeing the players' high spirits, he didn't delay any longer and started broadcasting:
[The furnace trial run is complete. Starting tomorrow, the Divine Stele Shop will add recommended core blueprints.]
The Contribution Shop now includes a "Transmogrification Gift Box," which can contain "Rebirth Potion" (used to reset race) and various blueprints.
[A new way to earn contribution points has been added; they can be exchanged using resources such as ores and pure magic.]
If you want blueprints, you earn contribution points; if you want contribution points, mining is the fastest way. Doesn't that create a closed loop?
