Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

In the Xia Zhiji restaurant, the conversation between Xu Yue and Su Xiao made Xia's head tingle.

It was casually referring to millions of living beings. To be honest, she had never seen so many living beings in her life, not to mention the sea gods and demons mentioned later. These beings were beyond her reach.

We are obviously in the same space, but she seems so out of place. Let alone interrupting, she is even a little afraid to speak now, so she can only complain silently in her heart.

No, there is such a big difference between workers and contractors. They are both in the world of missions. Why is it that her story is always about Gou Zi taking the lead, the story of a weak little cook’s struggle to survive, and the two people in front of her are killing gods and demons? The ferocious stance of the Great Demon King piercing the world.

Under the crowd, compared to Xia who was at a loss, Bubu was much more innocent. He didn't care at all what the others were talking about. At this time, all he could see was the fresh octopus arms and legs and the sweet royal jelly on the dining table.

Saliva was continuously secreted in the mouth, and there was a very obvious swallowing sound in Bubu's throat. He had been hungry all day and exercised vigorously for half an hour. Not to mention this sweet and tempting food, he could not even wait for the table now. Take a bite.

Resisting the urge to bite it, it raised its eyes and looked around.

But he found that his master was still communicating with Xinhuo about their various experiences in the trial world. The specific process of conquering the world itself was quite valuable information and experience, especially since they would take the initiative to explore the hidden plots of each world. , which also made the two of them chat particularly happily.

Xia, on the other hand, stood aside timidly, looking weak as if he wanted to interrupt but didn't know what to say.

Seeing this scene, Bubu rolled his eyes without leaving any trace, and then lightly bumped the little cook's right leg. When he saw that she had attracted her attention, he nuzzled hard in the direction of the ingredients.

Although he couldn't speak, his extremely vivid expression made Xia easily understand the general meaning of what this Erha wanted to express.

‘Stop nagging, they are talking about their own business, you hurry up and prepare the ingredients, I am starving to death. ’

After Bubu's reminder, Xia Ye quickly reacted. The experience and information revealed in the conversation between the two was indeed precious, but it needed to be supported by her own strength. With her weak combat power, as long as she dared to learn, then It was a sudden death on the spot.

There is no benefit in staying here by yourself. The only way to do the right thing now is to deal with those two rare ingredients. It can also effectively prevent yourself from being hit by doubts about life.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and after quickly saying hello to Xu Yue and Su Xiao, she put all the ingredients on the round table into the storage space, and then trotted to the kitchen.

In the neat kitchen of the restaurant, huge octopus arms and rare royal jelly were lined up in front of the little chef. Looking at these two purple-quality ingredients, Xia's face was solemn, but at the same time there was excitement in his eyes. of excitement.

In the past, she could only watch such high-quality and precious ingredients from a distance, but now she finally has the opportunity to get her hands on it, haha!

'The meat of octopus is fresh and plump, with a smooth and elastic texture. It is cold in nature and can nourish blood and qi, nourish yin and nourish the skin. Avoid...'

'Royal jelly has a rich fragrance, is sweet and delicious, has a sweet taste and is mild in nature. It can replenish qi and lungs, moisturize and detoxify, avoid...'

The specific characteristics of the two ingredients began to emerge one by one in my mind, and at the same time numerous cooking techniques and recipes began to swirl around.

In this way, while thinking about what kind of dishes to make next, Xia made preliminary preparations for a large number of side dishes and seasonings.

After a while, the kitchen table in front of her was neatly filled with various ingredients, and the octopus arms and legs and royal jelly in the center were completely covered.

The process of making excellent dishes is similar to the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine. It also focuses on the four qi and five flavors, which work together seamlessly, and the king and ministers work together to complement each other.

Octopus meat is undoubtedly the main dish, but the choice of other side dishes is also very important. In order to prepare this meal, Xia can be said to have spent a lot of money.

Looking at the dazzling array of materials in front of her, she put her hands on her hips. After a brief moment of distress, she was immediately occupied by a strong sense of excitement.

I have never fought such a rich battle, haha, let’s get to work!

The broad kitchen knife was dexterously turned in the hands of the little chef, and then it burst into bright silver light. As soon as she took the kitchen knife, an awe-inspiring aura suddenly emerged from her body, which was extremely confident in her own skills.

Although Xia's business is bleak, it is only due to the remote location of the restaurant. Her own cooking skills are actually impeccable.

Anyone who can open a shop in the city has great potential after being verified by the paradise. They are often the best among the employees.

The half-human-high arms and legs had been turned into more than a dozen parts of different sizes in his mind. The kitchen knife in Xia's hand fell, and the edge of the blade was filled with cold light. He was about to cut out the predetermined small pieces of tender meat from the arms and legs. With a lot of force, the blade connected with the wrist and foot, but it was not cut in two as imagined, but a harsh friction sound continued to sound.

Feeling the tenacious feedback from her hand, Xia Dun's face suddenly fell, and the aura that had just risen around her disappeared in an instant. She discovered a rather serious problem.

It seems like she can't break through this octopus's arms and legs...

"..."

The awkward atmosphere slowly spread in the restaurant. After a moment of silence, Xia covered her face and threw away the kitchen knife in her hand.

When this lord-level octopus was still alive, Xu Yue relied on the magic sword Qianren with a sharpness of +21 to successfully cut off the opponent's arms and legs. One can imagine the toughness of its flesh and blood.

Although the arm and foot that is currently separated from the main body and has had its mysterious factors removed is far from the exaggerated toughness it had before due to its reduced activity, it is far from being a kitchen knife of ordinary quality if it is to be easily cut open. All that can be done.

"High-quality ingredients are really not so easy to handle. I hope we won't really go bankrupt~"

After muttering in a low voice, Xia Zhen carefully took out a wide kitchen knife with a handle covered with blue scales from the space. The moment he held it, a green dragon phantom appeared on the knife and slowly swam, turning the entire knife. The contrast between the kitchen knife and the knife is very magical.

…………

With the Yongling Knife in hand, the tough flesh and blood of the wrists and feet is no longer a problem. The blade only scratches lightly, and the flesh and blood are instantly separated. In addition to the neat and smooth cross section, the body surface is also covered with a thin layer of crystal white luster. , as if it was emitting a faint light.

Just like the B-level forging furnace obtained by Xu Yue, the Yongling Sword in Xia's hand was also given by the park. For some employees with extremely excellent potential ratings, the park will give targeted welfare rewards after the store is opened. .

These rewards are all props or equipment that are beneficial to the development of the store, but they will only be given the right to use them. When the store fails to meet the business quota in March, it will be taken back directly by the park together with the store.

The Yongling Knife has an excellent effect on increasing cooking skills, but the high mana consumption puts Xia Wang back. Coupled with her financial situation, which is always on the verge of bankruptcy, even though she got this artifact, But the number of uses can be said to be very few.

Now, in order to process this high-quality ingredient, she could only resort to the Yongling Knife. She only hoped that after finishing this meal, she would not really go bankrupt.

…………

Outside, Xia Zheng was heartbroken in the kitchen while busy making dishes, and the exchange of information about the trial world in the restaurant was gradually coming to an end.

Bubu was still looking at the kitchen with longing eyes, but Xu Yue and Su Xiao had changed the subject and started discussing the serious matter of trading long knives.

The starting price of dark purple weapons is more than 100,000 paradise coins. With the powerful equipment effect of the gray claw sword, its value is the best in its class. Xu Yue was not polite and directly quoted a high price of 220,000. .

Although the price is slightly higher than the market average, it is definitely not excessive. After hearing the quotation, Su Xiao didn't even bargain, so he directly agreed and then transferred the money on the spot.

He did not buy this long knife to use as a weapon, but to use it as his main weapon, Dragon Slaying Flash. Gray Claw's ability to convert the next slash into real damage is very suitable for his fighting style, which can be used in The ability to kill with one hit at critical moments.

Not to mention 220,000, even if it was higher, he would bite the bullet and buy it. Moreover, after Xu Yue got the dark purple long knife, he first asked him if he needed it. This was a sign of sincerity. As long as the price was not excessive, Su Yue would buy it. Xiao will never counteroffer.

This kind of detailed interpersonal communication often determines whether the subsequent resource exchange between two people can be maintained for a long time.

The transaction about the long sword Gray Claw ended in this decisive and fast atmosphere. After handing the Gray Claw to Su Xiao, Xu Yue took out two items, one red and one blue, from the space and said:

"See if you can handle these two materials."

"Oh, is this the artificial mysterious factor crystal you mentioned?"

In the previous conversation, Su Xiao had become very curious about the special substance that could transform the entire world. Now that Xu Yue took out the finished product, he immediately reached out and took it.

Among them, the red wooden heart is [blood condensation]. Although this special material is of high grade, its specific composition is not complicated. It is just a core condensed from a large amount of purified bloody life force. It is quite pure in nature. Su Xiao's alchemy and potion skills are not difficult to handle.

After a brief inspection, he gave Xu Yue a positive reply.

As for another mysterious factor crystal, it is much more complicated. After all, this thing involves a god, and its specific components cannot be identified with the naked eye. He needs to go back to his exclusive room and use specific instruments to observe.

"There is no problem with the blood condensation, but the vitality contained in this thing contains a small amount of dirty ingredients. It will take some time to remove and transform it. It will be completed early tomorrow morning."

"It's just that it's hard to say how crystallized this mysterious factor is. Its properties are very complicated. I need to study it for a while before I can draw a conclusion. But if its effect can really reach the level of producing lord-level creatures in batches, the cost will definitely not be cheap."

After listening to Su Xiao's judgment, Xu Yue replied somewhat casually:

"It's okay. Just let me know when you come up with specific conclusions. This thing is just an experiment, and the crystal is an artificial imitation after all. Its specific effects should be difficult to reach the exaggerated level of Atlan."

Xu Yue is not in a hurry at this stage as to whether the mysterious factor can be produced in batches. He still has a lot of it in his hands, which is enough to be used for a long time. The crystals he gave Su Xiao only accounted for about 3% of the total amount. After all, they were only used for For research specimen use, these quantities are sufficient.

Anyway, being able to research the formula is a win-win situation, and the cost he will pay if he fails is very small. To say the least, even if Su Xiao can't analyze it, he can still find other high-level workers, but it will be more troublesome. The total amount of crystals on it is enough to squander.

"I'll trouble you for those two materials. How to calculate the cost?"

Looking at the blue crystal and the fist-sized wooden heart that were properly held in the small bottle in her hand, Su Xiao didn't think about it for too long and said directly:

"This crystal is enough to offset the processing cost of the bloody condensation. As for the mysterious factor formula, I will inform you as soon as I have a conclusion. After the research and development is successful, we will share the formula with each other. If you are unable to make it, you can ask me to make it at the cost price. Acquisition, how about it?”

"no problem."

Su Xiao's request was quite appropriate. He had no reason to refuse and responded decisively. Just by offsetting the processing costs, his mysterious factor crystal, which was used as a research raw material, had already paid back.

On the other side, after seeing Xu Yue's agreement, Su Xiao took back the two materials in his hand. Naturally, he would not lose money in this transaction. If the specific ingredients could be analyzed, it would be equivalent to getting a precious dark purple potion. The formula, even if it fails, will always be beneficial as it can improve your experience and knowledge in alchemy.

The formal discussion was over, and a rich aroma began to fill the kitchen. It seemed that the dishes were not far away.

Su Xiao took out the tea she had packed away not long ago from the space, handed one to Xu Yue, and stuffed another cup into Bubu's eyes, which was already glowing red, and began to ask about the soul-melting weapon. He is also very interested in this kind of special enhancement that can greatly improve the ability of equipment.

"Are there any requirements and restrictions on the souls required for soul fusion?"

"The more powerful the better, the higher the degree of enhancement that can be given to the equipment. However, compatibility and compatibility must be considered. The direction of enhancement brought by biological souls with different abilities will also be affected by their ability trends."

"For example, the metal gauntlet you have on your hand can be given special abilities of defense, attack, auxiliary, or even recovery based on the attached weapon soul. How you choose depends on your own strategic positioning. Yes, soul fusion is similar to a permanent enchantment that is strengthened countless times, and the direction of strengthening can be selected."

"However, the equipment effect based on the arm guard itself is to enhance strength, so in theory, the weapon soul enhancement of the attack system is most suitable for it, and it can have the best amplification effect. The growth rate of the weapon soul, and the quality jump may also be affected. This impact…”

Xu Yue's explanation ended, and Su Xiao looked at the red gauntlet on his left arm thoughtfully. It must be said that the soul fusion enhancement described by Xu Yue was quite tempting. As for the powerful soul required for soul fusion, In terms of his fighting style of taking the initiative to challenge the strong in the derived world, as long as he purchases an item that can capture souls in advance, he will never be short of sources.

However, soul-melting enhancement requires a lot of money. Even if you want to enhance it, you must choose equipment with excellent potential. The skill activation conditions of this gauntlet are too confusing, and it is not worth investing too many resources.

As for the main weapon, Dragon Flash, it is even more impossible to rashly endow a weapon soul with this growth weapon bound to the destruction method. Let alone whether the weapon soul can withstand the erosion of the Qinggang Shadow energy, it is simply said that the weapon soul can transform. This characteristic of the weapon was enough to make him give up.

The information about all the equipment on his body emerged in Su Xiao's mind one by one. After thinking for a moment, he took out a metal lighter and a large sniper rifle from the space, and then placed the long sword sheath hanging on his waist on the round table. , and displayed some information about these three pieces of equipment.

"Can these two pieces of equipment and the long sword scabbard be soul-melted?"

"Well……"

His eyes swept over the three pieces of equipment in turn, and Xu Yue even fiddled with them before responding:

"The Destiny Salvation and the scabbard are fine, but the sniper rifle..."

"The structure of the sniper rifle is too precise, and I don't have deep research on mechanical firearms. Soul Fusion is not impossible, but there is a possibility that the equipment will be damaged."

"In addition, purely auxiliary equipment such as Destiny Salvation and Scabbard have very high requirements on the soul of the weapon. If the characteristics of both parties do not match, the amplification effect obtained after merging the soul will not be obvious, or even completely useless. The growth brought by the soul will also be extremely slow."

"The scabbard is okay, but the soul of the weapon redeemed by destiny must be a soul with luck-based abilities, such as my stingray."

Saying that, Xu Yue pointed to the jeweled flying fish on the table. This little guy's eyes glowed after the Destiny Salvation was taken out, and now it is flying up and down around the lighter.

Su Xiao also looked at the stingray on the round table. After entering the restaurant, he noticed this strange life, but he couldn't take the initiative to explore it. He could guess that the ability of this gem flying fish must be not simple, but he didn't want to know. It involves the rare attribute of luck.

"Also, your main weapon needs maintenance. The repair ability of the God's Afterglow Scabbard is not omnipotent. Just like our hidden wounds, some deep injuries cannot be reached by this dark purple scabbard."

…………

Time passed quickly as the two chatted. After a while, footsteps came from the kitchen. Plates of exquisite dishes with full color, fragrance and flavor were placed on the table by Xia. The fragrant food soon filled the entire restaurant. space.

Xu Yue randomly selected one of the main dishes and clicked on the item details.
