Chapter 373: Chapter 373 - Alchemical Synthesis

Chapter 373 - Alchemical Synthesis

With his right hand, Shi Feng lightly tapped the Philosopher’s Stone on the Magic Crystal in his left hand .

In the next moment, the Philosopher’s Stone released a faint blood-red glow . Following which, the Magic Crystal in Shi Feng’s left hand transformed into dust and scattered across the floor, leaving nothing behind .

A Magic Crystal, which cost 8 Silver Coins, was gone, just like that… .

In the God’s Domain, 8 Silver Coins were the current equivalent of a day’s income for an entire elite team .

However, without even blinking, Shi Feng snatched a second Magic Crystal from the table and attempted the Elemental Refinement once more .

Two seconds later, another pile of dust scattered to the floor…

After over a hundred consecutive attempts and failing every time, Shi Feng stopped and reevaluated his actions .

“Is it not possible with Elemental Refinement?” Shi Feng frowned at the dust covered floor .

There were not many members in Zero Wing, so the number of accumulated Magic Crystals was not high . There had been only around 600 in the Guild Warehouse . Meanwhile, Shi Feng had not obtained a single Mana Stone, even after refining over a hundred Magic Crystals . At this rate, he would never refine 21 Mana Stones .





“No, it is just because the success rate is so low . Do I need to raise my chances before it’ll work?” 

“Mana Stones are the product of polymerization of Magic Crystals . Logically, it should be possible to refine a Magic Crystal into a Mana Stone . Is it because the Magic Crystal’s quality is too poor?”

Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng took another Magic Crystal and tested his theory .

This time, after clicking “Refine,” Shi Feng thoroughly focused on observing the changes that occurred during the refinement process of the Magic Crystal .

After God’s Domain underwent its first evolution, both forging and alchemy had become far more realistic . Moreover, Shi Feng was currently playing the game using a virtual gaming cabin which possessed a synchronization rate of 97% . Hence, if he observed the refinement process of the Magic Crystal carefully, he might discern the cause for failure .

However, the refinement process happened far too quickly . Even if Shi Feng had exceptional dynamic vision, everything still happened in a flash . It was too hard to see anything .

“System Recording, activate Full Simulation Mode,” Shi Feng suddenly said .

System: Please hold for system identification…

System: Interface used by player detected as the Virtual Gaming Cabin . Full Simulation Mode is supported .

System: Full Simulation Mode has activated .

After the system activated Full Simulation Mode, Shi Feng picked up a Magic Crystal and attempted Elemental Refining once more . As expected, the Magic Crystal still crumbled into dust that scattered all over the floor .





Unperturbed, Shi Feng said, “System, play the video recorded through Full Simulation Mode . ”

In the next moment, a 3D holographic image appeared before Shi Feng’s eyes, showing the exact scene when Shi Feng had attempted Elemental Refinement on the Magic Crystal .

Aside from allowing players to experience a synchronization rate of 97%, the virtual gaming cabin also allowed players to activate Full Simulation Mode in the game . With this function, the videos players recorded in game could be viewed as a holographic projection rather than on a flat surface .  This function was unavailable to those who used both the ordinary and advanced helmets .

In the God’s Domain of the past, if one were a Master Lifestyle player, they would have definitely purchased a virtual gaming cabin for themselves . They did so for the sole purpose of this holographic recording function . Through this function, players could realistically reproduce the videos they recorded . Players could experience what they normally couldn’t through a flat-screen video, and this included the refinement process of the Magic Crystal .

However, the main purpose of the Full Simulation Mode lay in the analysis of enemies .

Players could record their battles with enemies to study their enemy’s fighting habits, defenses, attacks, dodges, and other detailed actions .  

After analyzing their enemies’ habits and weaknesses, even if they were weaker than their opponents, players could take advantage of said habits and weaknesses to triumph against their enemies . In the past, this often happened in God’s Domain . It was especially true for fights between experts .

At the same time, players could also utilize the holographic recording for self-reflection, improving weaknesses and discovering new techniques . This was one of the quickest ways for a player to improve themselves .

This was also why players who used the virtual gaming cabins improved so quickly .

In the past, Shi Feng had done countless self-evaluations through using the Full Simulation Mode, continuously improving his combat power . Back then, if he had used the virtual gaming cabin a few years earlier, he might have reached even greater heights . Unfortunately, Shadow had only a few million Credits . A single virtual gaming cabin cost three million . How could Shadow possibly afford a virtual gaming cabin? Moreover, even if they purchased one, Shi Feng would not have had access to it .

Following which, Shi Feng adjusted the settings of the holographic recording and played the refinement process into slow motion . That way, he could fully observe and analyze the entire process in detail without needing to waste Magic Crystals and stress his eyesight over and over .

After observing the process dozens of times, Shi Feng finally discovered the reason . “As expected, the Mana density inside the Magic Crystals is too low . I wouldn’t get a single complete Mana Stone even if I used the Elemental Refinement 10,000 times . ”

Although Shi Feng had discovered the cause of his failures, he didn’t have a solution . In God’s Domain, there was no difference in quality between Magic Crystals . In other words, it was simply impossible to obtain a Mana Stone through refining Mana Crystals… .  

Shi Feng could not help his frustration .

If refinement could not work, then he had to go at it from another angle .

The only method he had left was to use Alchemical Synthesis, combining two Magic Crystals into one . Once the accumulated Mana inside the Magic Crystals reached a sufficient level, it would become a Mana Stone naturally .

However, how could Alchemical Synthesis be easy?

Even a Grandmaster Alchemist would struggle with Alchemical Synthesis . The price they had to pay would also exceed the value of the final product . Normally, nobody would willingly take on such a risk .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng was merely a Forging Apprentice . He was not even an alchemist, to begin with . His chances of successful Alchemical Synthesis were abysmal .

On the other hand, the Philosopher’s Stone, an alchemy treasure, had such an ability . However, the Philosopher’s Stone Shi Feng had right now was a defective product . He could only use Alchemical Conversion and Elemental Refinement, not Alchemical Synthesis .

“That’s right! If one Philosopher’s Stone won’t do, what about two?” Shi Feng suddenly recalled the fragmented piece of Philosopher’s Stone that he had obtained from the God’s Grave .

The Philosopher’s Stone had been broken into five fragments, so its abilities had greatly weakened . However, the Philosopher’s Stone was inherently of one body . As long as Shi Feng could gather all five fragments, he could restore the Philosopher’s Stone . Although Shi Feng did not possess all five fragments at the moment, if he fused the two fragments he had, it should become much stronger than one fragment alone .

“I can only give it a try . ”

Shi Feng had no other options . The Philosopher’s Stone was his only hope .

The Philosopher’s Stone had broken into five fragments of different sizes, and the abilities each fragment possessed were different . The Philosopher’s Stone Shi Feng had obtained from the God’s Grave was slightly smaller than the first one he had found . As it only possessed Alchemical Conversion, Shi Feng had not intended to use it .

Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng rushed back to the bank and retrieved the other Philosopher’s Stone from his warehouse before hurrying back to his forging room .

Inside the forging room, Shi Feng carefully combined the two Philosopher’s Stones .

System: Do you wish to fuse the two Philosopher’s Stones?

Shi Feng immediately clicked the “Fuse” button .

Suddenly, the two Philosopher’s Stones transformed into a pool of blood-red liquid and fused . The liquid then solidified into a fist-sized blood-red pearl . It was no longer an uneven block of stone .

After the fusion completed, Shi Feng picked up the newly-formed Philosopher’s Stone and checked its information . He wanted to know how powerful the Philosopher’s Stone had become .
