PFC Chapter 92 My Onion Head is Cool
Chapter 92 My Onion Head is Cool
Today marks the first day that the [Circular Corridor] is open to the public on a large scale.
Fang Qi blocked the stairs leading to the second-floor alchemy workshop early in the morning to prevent any reckless players from rushing up there.
Since Luo Xi couldn't show up and Vicky was outside, the entire burden of this business operation fell on Fang Qi's shoulders.
He has to multitask.
Two female mascot dolls and four boxes—he has to control six things at the same time.
Fortunately, Fang Qi had evolved many times and was mentally strong enough to barely cope.
The two Palu seemed to enjoy watching their boss work overtime, and both stopped what they were doing to watch through their mental link.
A sudden surge of magical energy emanated from the air.
They're here! The three of them perked up.
Fang Qi glanced at him and realized it was an old acquaintance, Little Crouching Dragon.
This guy, like Zhenyu, is wearing a set of mismatched pieces, but his taste is far inferior to Zhenyu's.
Zhenyu is a female player, so at least she pays some attention to her appearance. It's a bit strange, but overall it's still quite harmonious. But Xiao Wolong doesn't care about that at all.
Wearing armor and shorts with sandals, a huge helmet on his head, white gloves on his hands, and necklaces, bracelets, and rings that are as big as possible, he looked top-heavy and unbalanced.
Out of respect for his guest, Fang Qi did not smile.
However, Rosie and Vicky couldn't help themselves and chattered away in the link, laughing non-stop.
"What do you know? He's a master of crafting individual pieces!" Fang Qi replied casually, then manipulated Vicky's puppet to float forward.
"Welcome, adventurer. You are the first guest to arrive here. This is your reward."
After Vicky finished speaking in her ethereal voice, a small card floated out from the counter and landed in front of Xiao Wolong.
Little Wolong took it with a puzzled look, examined it carefully, and then his face lit up with joy: "20% off? Great!"
After finishing his studies these past few days, he couldn't wait to go online.
This morning I was gathering materials on the map to collect enough tickets to go to the Akasha map, but I unexpectedly found a treasure chest and ended up here.
Although Xiao Wolong has never been to this place, he has seen it on the forum.
The hidden map will definitely be very useful with the 20% off coupon.
And it seems this place is open for business?
Looking at the stalls on both sides, Xiao Wolong casually opened the forum to compare with the previous screenshots. To be honest, these things didn't exist back then!
It's very likely something new that was unlocked after the last version update!
Isn't that a coincidence? He just loves exploring new places.
"What kind of work do you have here? Hurry up and bring it up!" Little Wolong was very self-motivated and wanted to take on the task as soon as he arrived.
Fang Qi had no task for him. He manipulated the Vicky doll to turn around and pointed to the Adventurer's Guide on the counter behind him, meaning he should go and see for himself.
"Alright." Little Crouching Dragon didn't mind and used a dash skill to jump over.
He glanced at it and only saw the title.
"Material and equipment fusion, interesting, let's do it!"
Little Wolong had no points, so he headed straight for the treasure chest at the final three-round synthesis platform.
He bought a few standard cubes from the shelf next to him, and then took out a huge shellfish that looked like an onion from his backpack.
[Giant Spiral Barnacle Shell, Material, lv.35.]
He picked it up casually, thinking he could exchange it for a few gold coins, but no one wanted it, so he just kept it in his bag.
Although it has no attributes, it looks pretty cool on his head, so he keeps it as a collectible and has never been willing to throw it away.
"Let's test the waters with this!"
Open the treasure chest lid, throw the barnacle in, and select "add materials" in the pop-up dialog box. After thinking for a moment, Little Crouching Dragon added a spare helmet on the other side.
The helmet only has one level 45 "Sturdy" stat, so it shouldn't be crooked.
Fang Qi began the operation.
"Fusing requires 2 standard blocks (discounted price)."
Neither of these two things were very good, and the cost of combining them wasn't high, so he went easy on them and only doubled the handling fee.
As soon as Xiao Wolong put the block in, Fang Qi started to clatter and sway from side to side.
In Fang Qi's mind, the extended module gave a prompt: [Expected to generate a Thorn Helmet, level 35-45, cost 500 points, confirm?]
He glanced at the preview; the solution proposed by the trading terminal was to use the helmet as the main material, disassemble the barnacles into pieces, and then wrap them around the helmet.
The finished product has an additional "Thorns" attribute, which allows it to retaliate after being attacked, adding an extra layer of protection to its head. It looks quite standard.
But Fang Qi was very dissatisfied!
How much can this thing sell for, and what's it used for?
He wanted to make his first deal a resounding success and create a sensation!
It must be changed!
Fang Qi immediately switched to manual mode.
First, change the main material from helmet to barnacles, then fine-tune the shape, changing it to a layered structure...
As for the entries, there's not much to do; both barnacles and helmets are "Sturdy," so just merge them.
Fang Qi carefully crafted the first item, examining it over and over for a long time before finally being satisfied.
"Sure."
The points cost doubled, but it's not a big problem; just consider it buying some promotional credit.
Several minutes had passed in the outside world.
Xiao Wolong's initial anticipation turned into doubt, then into silence, and now he's starting to feel restless.
"What's going on? Why did it take so long?" He scratched his head and paced back and forth. "Wasn't it going to be a bug and get swallowed up?"
The materials themselves aren't valuable; what he's worried about is the processing fee!
He needs two standard blocks at once, which will take him a long time to kill monsters to get. He needs to catch up with the main group, and time is what he needs most right now!
With Xiao Wolong's eager gaze fixed on it, the treasure chest lid hissed open, releasing wisps of cold white air.
[Fuse successful. Obtained a sturdy bio-onion helmet (lv40).]
It's finally done!
Little Wolong was overjoyed and quickly took it out to examine it repeatedly.
Upon receiving it, one finds a huge spherical helmet. The original uneven barnacle shell has disappeared, replaced by a plump, layered carapace, much like a giant carapace onion.
The level of the entry has been reduced by five, and the defense is not as high as the helmet looks, which is a bit of a pity.
But he could understand. After all, the barnacles themselves weren't at a high level, so it was normal for them to be averaged out during fusion, right?
"Onion Head looks so cool!" He fiddled with the helmet in his hand, admiring it. "The planners are really something, not even including a pair of mirrors..."
For Xiao Wolong, equipment stats are also a consideration, but appearance is far more important.
There's only one version of strength, but being cool lasts a lifetime!
Furthermore, the announcement also states that the more affixes a character has, the stronger the effect, with the bonus calculated as a percentage of the base item level.
With this design, when I have more money in the future, I can come back and combine it with new entries. It should be usable until level 60 or 70, right?
Little Crouching Dragon's mutterings reminded Fang Qi.
Since they've already launched a fusion service, the fusion products that come out when he's not around will definitely be all sorts of weird and wonderful. It's really time to give players a mirror to look at themselves.
Quickly switching to the "Construction" view, Fang Qi selected the entire wall opposite the snack exhibition hall, then chose the mirror material, and Kuku refreshed the screen.
Covering an entire wall with tile looks grand!
After finishing, Fang Qi tossed the pointing arrow in front of Xiao Wolong.
Go ahead.
