Chapter 858: Chapter 859 Introduction_1

“A Phase-3 Golden Pill? The one you just refined was a Phase-3 Golden Pill? What effects does it have?” Song Jian asked curiously.

He had not seen the specific attributes of the Phase-3 Golden Pill, but the name alone suggested that its effects should be much better than those of the Second Transformation Golden Pill.

“This is my first successful refinement, it was so difficult! This is a fourth-grade pill, and being able to refine it depended purely on luck. It looks like my luck is pretty good, yay!” Meng Tiantian seemed very happy, her face full of smiles;

A Second Transformation Golden Pill increased five points of all attributes, while a Phase-3 Golden Pill could increase at least eight, perhaps even more. Song Jian estimated silently. Even if Meng Tiantian didn’t pass the first stage of combat power assessment, by the time she reached level thirty, her overall attributes would hardly be inferior to those who passed the A-grade assessment. If she managed to pass even a B-grade assessment, the boost in her attributes might well compare to an S-grade player;

“Can I pre-order some Phase-3 Golden Pills?” Song Jian asked. The more of these attribute-enhancing pills, the better. Even if there was a limit on how many each person could use, there were a lot of people in the City of Hope Alliance, so even one pill per person would require a large batch;

“The materials have all been used up, that was the last batch!” Meng Tiantian shook her head: “The success rate for Phase-3 Golden Pills is too low, it’s not cost-effective. However, I can mass-produce First Grade Golden Pellets now, do you want some? There’s plenty, and they’re cheaper, each person can use three!”

...

“First Grade Golden Pellets? How much do they enhance attributes?” Song Jian asked;

“One point!” Meng Tiantian said, somewhat embarrassed, as she raised a finger;

Song Jian nodded. Compared to the Second Transformation, the First Grade Golden Pellets were much less effective, but compared to attribute fruits that cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions, they were just as effective.

“We can talk. I need First Grade Golden Pellets, too!” said Song Jian: “But first let’s look at the Vitality Pills you’ve refined. We’ll discuss everything together later.”

Meng Tiantian nodded, realizing that Song Jian was a major client and became more cautious;

After clearing out the Alchemy Furnace, Meng Tiantian began to refine Vitality Pills.

Vitality Pills were only first-grade pills, now only replacing Vitality Grass with Bamboo Leaf, all the refinement processes were the same, and it didn’t take long to make a batch;

The flames rose, and all the materials inside the furnace turned into a medicinal liquid, a light bitter scent wafted from the furnace, and a pale green mist rose, condensing into a bamboo above the furnace, swaying gently;

“It’s rare for a first-grade pill to condense a pill essence!” Meng Tiantian said with a look of surprise on her face, unable to help herself;

Before long, Meng Tiantian cast out several spiritual lights, and the Vitality Pills were successfully refined, this batch actually producing more than a dozen reddish pills.

“Vitality Pills, rare, Effect 1: Permanently increases 1 point of stamina, 10 Vitality Points, Usage limit: 10 pills; Effect 2: Instantly recovers 3000 Vitality Points, cooldown time 5 seconds;”

“Not bad at all, a first-grade pill with properties comparable to a third-grade pill. It’s just a bit of a waste to recover 3000 Vitality Points — no player has that much Vitality Points now…” Meng Tiantian evaluated as she looked at the reddish pills in her hands;

Ordinary Vitality Pills, also first-grade pills without permanent attribute enhancement, could only restore fifty Vitality Points — compared to the current pill, the difference was like heaven and earth;

The change was all because the main ingredient had been switched to Bamboo Leaf. Meng Tiantian clearly understood, taking two pills from these, then giving the rest to Song Jian saying, “A tip, no problem, right?”

Song Jian nodded: “From now on, I’ll supply the Bamboo Leaves, you provide the rest of the auxiliary materials. Out of the pills refined, I only want ten per batch, the rest are yours. How does that sound for a distribution?”

Vitality Pills were the most basic of first-grade pills, and the auxiliary materials were not highly valuable, plus the refining time was short. This batch produced twelve Vitality Pills. Song Jian only wanted ten, so the remaining two were Meng Tiantian’s.

As Meng Tiantian heard it, her face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and she nodded eagerly: “Great, great, we’ll go with that arrangement. Hahaha!”

You see, this was just the first attempt at refining, and Meng Tiantian could still adjust some details. As a first-grade pill, for her, an Alchemy Grandmaster, failure was not a possibility, and there was even room for improvement in the refining method. Refining thirteen or even more in a batch was not impossible.

The most important thing was that after just refining one batch, she had found that her proficiency in Alchemy Skill had increased by a point. Usually, her proficiency only increased when refining fourth-grade pills, and refining first-grade pills could no longer raise her proficiency. But now, refining Vitality Pills also added a point, which was an unexpected joy;

Next, the two discussed the purchase of First Grade Golden Pellets. The First Grade Golden Pellets were second-grade pills, pricey, but much cheaper than Attribute Fruit — only about one-tenth of the price of Attribute Fruit. For Song Jian, it was absolutely affordable. Even if the alliance players used them all, they could still be sold externally — there was no loss overall;

In fact, what Song Jian really wanted to purchase were Second Transformation and even Phase-3 Golden Pills, but given Meng Tiantian’s current skill level, the success rate of refining Second Transformation Golden Pills was only one-eighth, and for Phase-3 Golden Pills, it was a matter of luck, with more than ten batches possibly not yielding a single success, and the materials were even harder to find. Even if Song Jian wanted to reserve them, it was not possible. They had to wait until Meng Tiantian’s Alchemy Skill improved another level;

After the transaction was completed, Song Jian suddenly realized that this place seemed very suitable for players to reside in as a temporary haven from official scrutiny, and additionally, there were many player-run stores here, just like in the game.

These players were spread across every corner of the game, usually impossible to contact for trades, but here, trading was a breeze. Some would even deliver goods first and settle up later with Doomsday Coins in the game, very convenient.

“I wonder what conditions are needed to reside here?” Song Jian asked;

Meng Tiantian’s eyebrows arched as she asked, “Are you planning to live here? I can be your reference, it’s very easy, you just need to go through some procedures. Come on, let’s register now!”

It seemed Meng Tiantian was even more eager than Song Jian, pulling him outside;

After closing the shop, Meng Tiantian dragged Song Jian to a stone house, banging on the door and shouting, “Old man, old man, open the door! I’ve got a player who wants to live here!”
