News of his Synthesis Level increase soon popped up.
In no time, he reached Level 5. Chen Mo promptly checked the newly unlocked Special Material Shop function.
It was filled with special materials he had never even heard of. Chen Mo figured these items would only be necessary when he performed special syntheses.
He immediately found the "Divine Fusion Agent." The next moment, his vision darkened, and he was left speechless.
"One thousand eternal gold coins? This is robbery!!!"
The price was so high Chen Mo found it outrageous.
However, considering it was a material needed for Divine-rank synthesis, the price suddenly seemed much more reasonable.
But no matter what, he simply could not afford it.
Fortunately, he noticed that this new Special Material Shop function displayed discounts.
"Let’s keep increasing the Synthesis Level to see if it gets cheaper. Only a fool would buy it at this price!"
Chen Mo quickly continued with his synthesis.
As The Heavenly Path’s Hints blared out repeatedly, Chen Mo tirelessly continued synthesizing.
The notifications finally stopped after he reached Level 10 in one go.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your Synthesis Level has reached the current limit of Level 10. You cannot break through at this time.]
Upon reaching Synthesis Level 10, Chen Mo immediately rechecked his previously unlocked functions. He discovered that not only did the Special Material Shop offer benefits, but his other functions had also seen significant improvements.
[Synthesis Level]: Current Level 10
"Synthesis Affix Improvement": If selectable affixes appear after synthesis, you will be able to choose one out of ten.
"Batch Synthesis Function": You can select materials belonging to you within a 10,000-meter radius for batch synthesis according to known formulas.
"Token Synthesis Function": If you have the required recipe, you can directly synthesize the item without preparing the raw materials. However, you will need to spend eternal coins to compensate for any missing materials. The price is based on the average of the total transaction prices for the relevant items in the current Star System from the previous day. If there are no transaction records, the item will be charged at the maximum rate based on its rarity. Items of SSS-rank or higher are not eligible for the Token Function. The current token fee rate at this Synthesis Level is 50%.
"Synthesis Special Effect Refresh Function": If you are not satisfied with the special effect options of a synthesized item, you can choose to refresh them ten times for free. Subsequent refreshes will cost eternal coins; the more refreshes, the higher the price. At the current Synthesis Level, you receive a 50% discount on these costs.
"Effect Replacement Function of Synthesis": A synthesized item can have its special effects changed up to ten times via paid attempts. Each time, one existing enhancement special effect can be replaced with one chosen from five newly randomized special effect options. These five options will not include the special effect affix being replaced. The five newly randomized special effect options can be rerolled, but this incurs a cost in eternal coins (no free refreshes). At the current Synthesis Level, you receive a 50% discount on these costs.
"Special Material Shop Function": At the current level, you get three opportunities each official month to purchase special materials at 1% of their price. At other times, you receive a 50% discount on special materials.
"I can purchase special materials at 1% of the price three times every 50 days. That’s great! Now, I can buy a bottle of Divine Fusion Agent for just ten gold coins!"
Chen Mo could afford this price.
Without any delay, he immediately bought a bottle.
Chen Mo once again brought up the synthesis interface and began the fusion. This time, with the addition of the Divine Fusion Agent, everything went smoothly. The fusion commenced!
After skipping the animation, the synthesis result quickly appeared.
[Congratulations, the synthesis was successful!]
[Please retrieve your synthesized item, the "Above SSS-Level Pet Egg"!]
"I really synthesized an Above SSS-level pet egg!"
Chen Mo’s face was filled with excitement, wondering what kind of creature would hatch from it.
Chen Mo immediately checked the information about the Above SSS-Level Pet Egg.
[Above SSS-Level Pet Egg]: Contains an extraordinarily potent energy, indicating an extremely special little creature lies within. Current time until hatching: 100 million hours.
"Unbelievable! This incubation time... I’d be dead of old age before it hatches! It seems Above SSS-level pets aren’t so easy to obtain. I’ll need to get a lot of Incubation Stones."
Each Incubation Stone used halves the pet egg’s incubation time.
So, looking at the nearly one hundred million hours of incubation time, if it’s repeatedly halved, it will decrease quite rapidly.
Only twenty-two stones are needed to shorten the time to just one day. Fresh chapters posted on novęlfire.net
Easier said than done, though. Incubation Stones aren’t easy to come by, and they aren’t cheap on the market either.
A single stone costs at least one billion coins.
They’re not something ordinary people can afford.
Many people would rather wait than buy Incubation Stones.
After all, they’re too expensive.
However, not all pet eggs, regardless of their quality, have an incubation period as long as Chen Mo’s.
Lower-rank pet eggs have much shorter hatching times.
Usually, only SS-level or higher pet eggs require Incubation Stones.
For instance, Chen Mo currently possessed an SSS-level pet egg.
Its incubation time was one million hours.
A normal SS-level pet egg, on the other hand, has an incubation time of ten thousand hours.
An S-level pet egg only requires one hundred hours to incubate.
One hundred hours is just a few days, an amount of time most people can afford to wait.
But ten thousand hours amounts to several hundred days. Some impatient big spenders might choose to use one or two Incubation Stones to reduce the waiting time.
