Plug-in Players In Marvel

Shi Xiaolei had already expected that the dwarves wanted to buy gold coins.

But what he didn't expect was that Ai Cui's purpose was not just gold coins.

"gem?"

"It's the gems you asked us to help set on those armbands." Ai Cui nodded vigorously, and then added more excitedly: "There are also those gray-white ones that look like some kind of fossil. Stones with various patterns carved on them.”

Needless to say about gems, the gray-white stone flakes that Ai Cui mentioned now are actually the runes in "Diablo 2".

As for why he didn’t use the word ‘rune’ in his words…

In the minds of many players, they subconsciously think that the runes in "Diablo 2" are actually the legendary runes.

actually not.

Although the concept of "runes" was borrowed, and the structure of runes was also referenced to a certain extent when the design was finalized, as long as you look carefully, you can easily see one fact - the structure of the runes in the game The glyph structure is completely different from the runes. For example, the former uses many curves and arcs, while in the latter's glyphs, there is no similar structure at all.

The dwarves living in Niveda have an excellent relationship with Asgard. In their daily lives, they often come into contact with orthodox runes. At a casual glance, you can see that the patterns and words on the gray-white stone flakes are not the same as the runes. In addition, their structure is more complex than the runes, a bit like simple drawings...

It’s no wonder that Ai Cui calls them ‘pictures’.

"You mean...this?" Shi Xiaolei took a moment to react and took out a sample.

"Yes, yes, this is it." Taking the rune from Shi Xiaolei's hand, Ai Cui couldn't help but look expectantly again: "If possible, I would like to buy some from you."

"Yes, yes." Shi Xiaolei nodded, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure? The price of this thing is much more expensive than gold coins. I mean, even the cheapest one among them It’s thousands of times more expensive.”

No wonder Shi Xiaolei was puzzled.

In order to make the finished product have a better effect, Shi Xiaolei not only used gold coins as the main material to make armbands for the maids at home, but also used some other materials in the hope that they would be of some help.

For example, the spring water of life may be useful for quenching, Tek alloy, some horns, scales and claws obtained by Bayonetta when hunting monsters, some wood spawned by Bania and Semi's talents, petals given by Higanbana, etc. . Among them, the gems and runes that were originally used as equipment enhancement materials and were also produced in "Diablo 2" are naturally indispensable.

Among so many kinds of materials, some have indeed been properly utilized and played a magical role in the creation process.

But there are also two or three types that are of no use.

Rune is one of them.

Also based on the various gems from "Diablo 2", the dwarves have found some ways. Although it is impossible to activate the magical properties of each gem 100% like in the game, with the technology accumulated by the dwarves for thousands of years, some results have been achieved.

To be precise, the gems embedded in the armbands by the dwarves can release about one-tenth of the attributes.

Even though this ratio was very low and the utilization rate was outrageous, Shi Xiaolei was actually very satisfied.

After all, those armbands were not equipment in the game. They were forged by the dwarves hammer by hammer in front of them. What does it mean to be able to inlay gems produced in the game on it and activate 1/20 of the power? First of all, this is equivalent to opening up a way to mass-produce magic equipment. Secondly, combined with the fact that 'it is not bound to anyone, the finished product can be used by anyone', it also means that Shi Xiaolei can use them to comprehensively enhance the strength of his family.

The effect is a little worse, so what’s the big deal.

Anyway, the materials can be exchanged for money without any restrictions. The worst thing is that everyone has ten or eight of them, and when they are added up, the effect can always be piled up.

That's a bit far.

Let’s get back to the topic.

Unlike gems that can exert some abilities, the mystery of runes is obviously several levels higher.

If a gem is compared to a jadeite material that has been completely unraveled and all impurities have been removed, then the runes are probably equivalent to the original stone that is still wrapped in a thick rock skin without even a window being polished. The dwarves responsible for the work are almost equivalent to the gem craftsmen in European and American courts who have served the royal family for several generations.

They may not have seen jade before, but their experience as veterans can provide them with some reference, allowing them to find out some ways faster and more or less take advantage of the new material.

But facing the unsolved jadeite stone...

Not to mention the European and American court craftsmen who have never carved jade, even the master craftsmen in China dare not promise that they can make the jade raw materials in the original stones into exquisite masterpieces with 100% performance. The advantages of producing jade materials.

All in all, during the dozen rounds of attempts that Shi Xiaolei witnessed, the dwarves failed to truly activate the magical properties of the runes and exert their intended effect.

And the reason why he couldn't figure out Ai Cui's purchasing intention was this - now that you have confirmed that there is nothing you can do to get those things, how could you think of buying them back? Even if I am willing to sell it, what can you do if you buy it back?

"Just because it hasn't been cracked yet doesn't mean it will always be the same result." Ai Cui's eyes showed an unyielding enthusiasm, and he rubbed his hands slightly excitedly: "Moreover, although I failed to activate them, let them release the corresponding response. There is some power, but I have clearly felt the power contained within them... As a dwarf, I will never allow myself to miss a good material with such forging potential."

"I see...I understand, rather than using it to forge works, it's actually more of a research thing, right?"

"Let's study it first, and wait until we figure out how to use it..." After scratching his head, Ai Cui smiled sheepishly: "Well, maybe we don't have that much money to purchase and use in large quantities. But what is certain is that by then, We will definitely buy some more from you... maybe they will be used directly to make artifacts, or maybe they will be stored in the warehouse and then taken out when they are needed, I can’t say right now.”
