Chapter One: The Beginning Unfolds
The dotted 3D structure is constantly filling up, the progress bar is constantly changing, 0%...8%...17%...27%...41%...67%...81%...88%...91%...93%...100% Complete.
Huh!——
Liang Jing's face was a bit pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. If Jia Yu Jin and the others saw him like this, they would be shocked beyond measure. Normally, no matter how intense the exercise or battle, Liang Jing had never been seen to sweat. Yet now, he was covered in sweat, and looked pale as if he had overexerted himself. At this moment, Liang Jing gazed at the two piles of materials beside him with a complex mood. Both piles consisted of identical items: a piece of beast skin, a grey energy crystal nucleus less than two centimeters in diameter, and several pieces of beast tendon. These were all materials from the Green Elite monster, Steel Spine Beast. It was also these materials that had caused Liang Jing's current sorry state...
Let's use these materials to practice 【皮甲秘术之附魔】, even if the success rate is very low, it's good for practicing skills. No one has ever been so extravagant, not even in the pre-apocalyptic game world, where those top life skill players from the crafting guilds couldn't afford such extravagance, because even green elite monsters are rare in the game and won't spawn as easily as white normal monsters...
After two or three hours of experimentation, Liang Jing finally obtained the best material currently available, which is the two piles in front of him. They are all steel-backed beast skin, crystal nucleus, and beast tendon. In these two or three hours, except for the materials on the variant bull's body that Liang Jing could easily replicate, the others were difficult to succeed with, whether it was the powder from the rare monster Steel Violent Mouse or the material from the blue BOSS Red Hair Stinger. This is because even though his true energy had broken through to the second layer today, the quantity was more than double what it was before, and the quality had greatly increased. According to calculations, his current true energy could reach three or four times its previous level, but it was still not enough to replicate the materials from these high-level monsters...
The material on the mutated bull's body is not even worth looking at in Liang Jing's eyes, there are better ones, why bother spending time and effort to make something that doesn't exist.
Liang Jing's innate ability 'Copy' is abnormal in function, creating something out of nothing, and can be called against the heavens!
But after all, it still consumes the same amount of energy to complete the item's virtualization and materialization, creating something out of nothing, transforming the physical form into a identical substance, but Liang Jing's true energy is still too scarce and thin.
As for the crystal core of the Golden BOSS Barlock, Liang Jing doesn't even have enough scanning energy now, let alone replicating it; based on Liang Jing's current experience, the generated energy is at least five times the energy consumed during scanning, and of course this value may increase or decrease depending on the item's anti-penetration ability.
Although he was frustrated, Liang Jing's heart was still filled with joy, because even if he was lucky enough to encounter a few elite monsters above his level, how often would that happen? If others had the same conditions as him, without the ability to replicate, they wouldn't dare use such rare materials to craft equipment using "Leather Armor Secret Art: Enchantment". Who would be willing to waste such precious resources without being certain of success? But Liang Jing was different. Now, because replicating these materials consumed a lot of energy, but in the future, as his true energy level continued to break through and improve, replicating these materials would become easier and easier. Even now, he could directly use these rare high-level monster materials that others coveted to practice his skills and increase their proficiency, without caring about the cost. This was something that others couldn't compare to...
The current set of materials is probably the best choice for Liang Jing, who has just started [Armor Enchantment]. After all, these three basic materials are from a monster's body and may have some connection and coordination. For Liang Jing, a newcomer, the success rate will definitely be much higher.
Kneeling on the ground, Liang Jing's mind quickly immersed in the true energy flowing through his body's meridians. With a slight shock, Liang Jing once again established contact with his spiritual consciousness and true energy, guiding the true energy to accelerate its flow within the meridians according to its previous self-flowing rules. The white life essence obtained from killing monsters outside by the two zombie servants controlled by the "Slave Corpse Technique" quickly seeped into the meridians under Liang Jing's acceleration, transforming into true energy and rapidly replenishing it. After repeated efforts, Liang Jing gained a general understanding that these life essences had a significant effect on replenishing true energy consumption. However, once the body's true energy was fully replenished and saturated, increasing it further became much slower, many times over. Liang Jing even wondered if the pressure change within the meridians after true energy replenishment was complete would affect the amount of life essence that seeped in, thereby influencing the efficiency and speed of its conversion into true energy...
In short, the original source of life has a huge impact on the consumption and replenishment of true energy in the body. Unfortunately, it can't be used simultaneously, and Liang Jing can't do that. Otherwise, using this ability to quickly consume and replenish would allow for the replication of higher-level items, what would happen then?
It's also for this reason that Liang Jing's true energy in his body is just enough to replicate the crystal nucleus and fur of Gangui Beast, and then quickly replenish it, which has resulted in the current materials. If others were to do the same, their true energy would be depleted, and at least a whole day would be needed for them to slowly recover and replenish themselves.
Half a sound, Liang Jing opened his eyes contentedly, his complexion improved a lot, the true energy in his body had been replenished, full and even more refined than before, and the quantity had also increased. It seems that this is also a good way to upgrade the speed of true energy.
Now start using 【Leather Armor Enchantment】 to make equipment, put the materials to be used aside, and save another pile of original parts.
Because of the relationship that had just begun to make and get familiar with, Liang Jing directly used the warrior's leather armor that he had been wearing all along as a prototype for production. Yes, now Liang Jing only needs to produce one piece of equipment, which is the cuirass, rather than helmets, gauntlets, or greaves.
Splash!
Liang Jing activated the 【Leather Armor Enchantment】. Blue-white light instantly appeared on his palms, and he naturally moved them over the gray-yellow steel-spiked beast skin, which was still flashing with a hard, ghostly glow. The blue-white light permeated the skin, causing internal changes that made it softer and more resilient. Then, proportion, size, cutting...
A progress bar appeared before his eyes: 0%... 5%... 9%... 17%... 21%... Failed!
I knew it!
Looking at the grayish-yellow fur in my hand that had failed due to skill failure, although it had the automatic guidance of skills, because it was just the first time, I was not familiar with it, and my hands and feet reacted a bit slowly, making it stiff and unnatural, directly causing the size to be inconsistent. It can be said that this piece of fur material is scrap; however, it can still be used to make smaller equipment parts, at least enough to make gloves and shoes.
Progress bar: 0%...8%...17%...27%...41%...Failed!
These materials are now useless and can't even make a single glove, but they did bring some familiarity to Liang Jing's skills, skill proficiency and hand-eye coordination; earlier under Liang Jing's carefulness, the cutting was completed, but later on, problems arose during the punching and sewing process, resulting in failure.
Carefully checking his body for the consumption caused by the use of 【皮甲秘术之附魔】, fortunately, the consumption was not very large, at least much less than 'copy' generation, with a certain amount of consumption on physical strength, spirit and true energy, but the quantity is small, Liang Jing can recover in just a moment, even the spiritual consumption is also so.
About half an hour later, Liang Jing copied out a set of materials again and recovered from the physical exhaustion...
Progress bar: 0%...8%...17%...27%...39% Failed!
0%……5%……13%……24%……37%……56%……66%……Failed!
The production of armor is obviously more difficult than making shoes. Looking at a set of beast tendon leather armor being consumed, Liang Jing felt regretful in his heart. This time, using the remaining materials from the failed production of armor to make shoes, he had already completed the first two major steps and was only short of the last step, which is also the most crucial stage of [Leather Armor Secret Art: Enchantment]. Half of the entire proficiency is the enchantment process, unfortunately, it failed!
A flash of cruelty flickered in Liang Jing's eyes...
