Late at night, it started snowing.
Large snowflakes were floating in the sky, temporarily covering up the world's barrenness, and the smell of the wasteland air was also much fresher.
Many players stopped at the Scourge Base to feel the atmosphere of the heavy snow.
Especially for players in the south, they originally planned to go to the north to see the snow when they had the chance, and experience what the legendary floor heating is like.
Saw it in the game one step ahead.
The players roasted by the fire, gathered together to watch the snow, and made snowmen, having a very relaxing time.
If it weren't for the rampant spirits in the distance, at first glance I would have thought it was a VR Stardew Valley online scene.
The wanderers were also glad that they had found a new shelter before the snow fell. Not only did they not have to worry about the attacks of the mutants, but they could also eat their fill and roast by the warm fire.
Cheng Shaofeng felt a little depressed, he missed home...
"If I hadn't traveled through time, it would have been nice to live an ordinary life... Thinking back on my life as a social animal, there wasn't anything wrong with it. I could slack off at work, rest on weekends, play games with others, use dating apps to pretend to be a girl and tease others, and even get into my brother's fan group to post emoticons."
After expressing his feelings, he changed his position and lay down so that he could see the players. Looking at the players' energetic spirits, he felt a complete sense of security and then slowly fell asleep.
As he was lost in the lake, Cheng Shaofeng thought of a question...
"What job did I do before?"
"It's been so long, I've forgotten..."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm just a company animal. The world will go on just fine without me."
Whoosh whoosh~
...
Deep in the red maple forest.
Under the heavy snow, five red-skinned mutants moved quickly along a path into a mountain cave. Inside was a blood-red altar with purple-black lines on it, like human blood vessels.
Five people took out a pink crystal and placed it on the altar, chanting something.
The crystal on the altar shattered, and pink energy flowed along the lines of the altar.
One minute later, all the patterns were lit up, and the space above the center of the altar trembled slightly.
puff!
A black hole suddenly opened up in the air, with a circle of red energy lines flashing outside.
A deep voice came from inside: "Why summon me?"
All the mutants knelt down.
"Master, we need your help!"
"A strong human force has settled outside the Red Maple Forest. Not only are they killing our believers, they are also taking in the surrounding humans and protecting them. We don't have enough food this winter. If we can't find food, I'm afraid a large number of our believers will die this winter."
After three seconds of silence in the black hole, a low echo was heard.
"What is their strength?"
The five mutants thought together, "Level 2! They have the combat power of Level 2, and they are numerous and powerful. Their moves are strange and hard to defend against. We can only defend against them by gathering together."
The next moment, a piece of parchment covered with red spells floated out of the black hole and then slowly closed.
"This is a rune that summons a third-level Hades monster. Use it to destroy them..."
The mutants were overjoyed and knelt down to take the parchment.
They all said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Mingsha, chaos is eternal!"
The mutants sneered, "With the summoning runes given by the master, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop. My void demons have been hiding around them and observing them. They have too much food! Enough for us to feed the believers this winter."
“Hehehe~ Let those arrogant humans struggle in pain, get lost in chaos, listen to the Lord’s voice, and become loyal believers!”
The five second-level mutants showed fanatical looks in their eyes.
Scarlet blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and fell to the ground. The scorching temperature evaporated the snow, leaving small red holes.
... ...
The next morning.
The players opened their eyes and found the world was white.
In the center of the base, a large workshop-like building was erected.
The inexplicable green invention: "Eh? The new building of the base is ready? Let's go check it out, brothers!"
Players who came online walked into the interior of the synthesizer of all things.
Cheng Shaofeng is already standing here.
There were a total of 7 conveyor belts in front of him, each of which was extremely wide, easily enough to accommodate a large wild boar.
There is a large silver-white sealed container in the center of the conveyor belt, and all the conveyor belts are transported there.
There are four doors in the workshop, each with seven conveyor belts and an operating mechanical platform. The voice of Zero appeared on the screen above.
Zero: "You can use the All-things Synthesizer to synthesize anything. You can add up to 7 items, and at least 2. The synthesized items are based on the combination and interaction of the properties of the materials. Try to place multiple materials that match the properties of the materials to easily synthesize useful props."
"The All-Things Synthesizer consumes a lot of energy. It is not recommended to make useless attempts. Anyone who synthesizes a valuable item will automatically record the synthesis formula in the machine. Later people can place materials according to the previous formula for synthesis."
“Please use your imagination to create more recipes!”
I took a quick look and found out that it costs 50 iron coins to activate it once.
"Oh my god! Isn't this a gambling machine? If you win, you'll make a lot of money, but if you lose, you'll lose everything. Isn't there a few preset formulas for people to try first? No one's money comes from the wind."
Other players also came over to watch, but after discovering the high prices, some were discouraged.
This price was set by Cheng Shaofeng because it consumes 5 points of energy to activate this thing once!
Far superior to loot generators!
It has to be expensive, otherwise players will use it to play around and he will lose a lot of money.
This price is also the conclusion drawn by Zero based on the number of iron coins he recently issued, the price of resurrection coins, and the value of items purchased and sold by players.
Currently in the Scourge Base, the value of 1 energy point = 10 iron coins.
Cheng Shaofeng took out a burning residue, a polished jade and a fire crystal, and the three items entered the central part of the synthesizer along the conveyor belt.
Sizzle!
Energy fluctuations emerged from inside, and after a moment... a black stone was transported in front of Cheng Shaofeng along the conveyor belt.
World Announcement: The Lord successfully synthesized the 'Magic Flint' using the 'Synthesizer of All Things' and successfully established the first synthesis formula.
The attention of all the players was immediately attracted.
Cheng Shaofeng shared the item information in his hand to the world channel so that all players can see it.
Magic Flint (Inlay)

Quality: Rare
Fire Damage +5
Fire damage +25%
Burning damage +25%
10% of physical damage converted to fire damage

Fire damage +75%
Burning damage +75%
Has a chance to cause 43 points of burning damage, lasting 3 seconds
Battle pets also enjoy skill buffs
Inexplicable: "What the hell!? The Lord hit the target with one shot? What kind of Gouba supermodel inlay is this! Not to mention the basic 15 points of fire damage, the total fire damage can be doubled, which is too outrageous!"
Washing Machine: "Lord, you are so lucky! Since I have been working so hard for our base and helping them with their skills, can you give me this? I really need it!"
Abnormal Undead: "Get lost! What are you, an Inquisitor, doing here? It says it can only be used with melee weapons. Your gun can't trigger it. Why don't you give it to us Undead players as a combat pet? Have you seen a Fire Skeleton? It's too strong!"
Polar Bear came over and said, "Battle pet bonus? Where is it? Oh... Generally, with such a high percentage bonus, it's a pity that the skeletons don't have basic fire damage, which is the 10 points provided by the inlay. The bonus of 75% only adds 17.5 damage. The burning damage is quite considerable. The skeletons are numerous and powerful, so it is easy to trigger the burning special effect."
Dream Maker: "I am a primary school student. I suggest that the Lord give it to me directly, and then give me 50 V so that I can have a KFC meal."
Cheng Shaofeng ignored the players' chatter, put the magic flint in his pocket and left.
"Soldiers, I hope you can unlock more formulas!"
All the players looked at the large machine in front of them with excitement.
There are only two kinds of people in the world, one is a gambler, and the other is a gambler who refuses to admit that he is a gambler.
Who doesn’t like drawing cards
Lin Tang spat, "This game still introduced the evil synthesis mechanism! This is a sharp weapon for game manufacturers to cheat money. I've smashed my mouse at Kelly several times!"
Yaohu: "But fortunately, we have the Lord's recipe as a guarantee. We have Burning Remains, Polished Jade, and Fire Crystals. We can also get the latter two from the Scorched Man. We can synthesize this more powerful inlay by ourselves."
"It's just a pity... Long-range weapons can't be equipped with it, which means that the explosive ammunition with the highest fire damage can't be used."
Lao Bai: "Fuck! This thing is tailor-made for me! Fox, help me synthesize this thing, and I will embed it after I remove the burning residue of the dagger."
He went to work on the inlay separator.
The fox nodded: "Indeed... There is only one skill in close combat that can cause fire damage: Whirlwind Slash. Lao Bai has been given an epic upgrade!"
Xigou said: "This thing is an upgraded version of Burning Remains. It doesn't have the Fireball spell, but it has an additional passive skill that consumes mana all the time. It's quite useful for close combat like us. Give me a Tang sword and replace Burning Remains with this."
The fox demon took out 2 portions of each of the three materials from the peak team's public warehouse, spent 100 iron coins to synthesize two magic flints, and gave one each to Lao Bai and Xi Gou.
After Lao Bai embedded it and turned on the halo, the energy of his body was immediately drawn into the dagger, and a few fiery lights emerged from it, as if a special effect had been added.
His own energy limit suddenly dropped by 150 points, and it dropped by 2 points per second. Fortunately, his recovery speed was faster than the decline.
The old man curled his lips and said, "It's broken! The energy I didn't have much to begin with, once the aura was activated, the upper limit was reduced by 150. I really can't use Whirlwind Slash anymore... 7 seconds of being a real man has become 3 seconds, damn!"
The polar bear smacked his lips and said, "This is actually more in line with your personality. I heard that people who work out usually have 3 hours of foreplay and 3 seconds of actual combat. Is that true?"
Lao Bai: "Get lost, stop talking nonsense, I'm a strong man!"
Polar bear: "Oh~ It's okay, small ones are cute too!"
Lao Bai: "I fucking killed you!"
Polar bear: "He's anxious! He's anxious!"
Hiroshima Atom came over and said with interest: "Speaking of which, the same thing can be told in completely different ways by women with different personalities, such as the matter of Lao Bai and Xiao."
Lao Bai angrily said: "I'm not small!"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll just assume you're not small. What I mean is... if you were smaller, a tsundere woman would say: Haha~ You're really small, not pleasant at all."
"And a tolerant woman would say: small ones are also cute~"
"And the woman who wants to PUA you will say: You are so young, no one likes you except me, you know!"
Polar bear: "Old White, you should learn from this so that you can distinguish them better."
Lao Bai: "Wow, there are so many explanations... Damn you guys! I am not a small person at all!"
After a commotion, everyone who wanted to synthesize the magic flint tried to exchange for materials for synthesis, and the rest were... a group of gamblers, with shining eyes, who took a bunch of inexplicable things.
The first one to appear was 'Mo Ran Jian Xiao'. As the owner of a weapons shop, she usually made a lot of money, so the price of 50 iron coins was nothing to her. She took out a spear, a mantis claw, and a broken claw and put them in.
Everyone can see at a glance that she wants to synthesize a more powerful weapon.
Xiaoxiao: "Weapon base + 2 kinds of sharp materials, one with fire and the other with physical properties. Together, they will definitely produce a high-damage weapon!"
Well-reasoned and convincing.
After a moment's flashing in the machine, a mass of something compressed into the shape of a discus fell out.
scrap
The product of failed synthesis, only the combination of materials with no properties is left, which may still have some uses
Xiaoxiao: “…”
"Damn it! I failed!"
After Xiaoxiao failed, the second gambler appeared.
Milky white Yukiko: "This is not an inlay machine, it certainly can't be synthesized this way. Watch me make it based on the material properties! Using steel as the base, supplemented by the extremely flexible mutant creature fur and the extremely hard mutant crab shell, it will definitely create an extremely strong defense material!"
Steel + Animal Hide + Worn Shell.
After it was put in, the machine reacted for a while and then spit out a brown nail piece.
World Announcement: 'Milky Snow' successfully synthesized 'Elastic Nail Plate' using the 'Synthesizer of Everything'.
"Yeah yeah yeah!"
Xuezi shared the item properties with everyone as soon as possible.
Elastic nail tips (inlays)
Used on: All Armor
Quality: Rare
Armor +48
Piercing resistance +15%
Everyone gasped.
"Wow, a universal inlay! Armor and puncture resistance... Definitely useful against gun attacks."
Yukiko proudly held up her trophy and showed off: "If you like to use it, you can come to our store to buy it. It's hard for you to find materials, so we can synthesize more and put them in the weapon store."
The third person to appear is 'The Inexplicable Green Invention'. As the name suggests, this person likes to invent things.
In other words... a whole life.
He took a charred human corpse and a void substance and put it in.
"The combination of the remnants of a hollow soul and a soulless corpse will definitely produce a spark collision! Everyone, just watch me transform into a human!"
"Please bless me and give me an obedient female ghost with a physical body. It would be best if she could change into various forms according to my preferences... and unlock various uses."
The little girl said in a long-winded and dark voice: "You'd better be used for a serious purpose..."
Soon, the synthesis was completed.
The bagged pile of answers was pulled back.
Bio-based raw materials
The raw materials necessary for making clones can be handed over to the lord in exchange for iron coins.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
"I can decompose both of these things, okay? Damn it! What a loss!"
The fourth one to appear is 'Washing Machine'. As the strongest strategy player among the newcomers, a former dark designer, and a key employee of Duoyu Game Company, he already had an idea in his mind after observing the synthesis of the previous few people.
"If we just randomly combine them... it won't work."
"The two successful ones are both inlays, and both have good properties. So we can temporarily assume that... the probability of this thing producing an inlay is high."
"Moreover, compared to synthesizing finished products, it is easier to succeed if it is synthesized from basic materials with similar properties. The materials decomposed from the corpses of mutant creatures are a very good choice."
"So, I prepared three basic materials that are relatively hard to find for synthesis, hoping to get something good."
Heart of a Salamander + Fur of an Ice Toad + Claws of a Lightning Snipe.
After a moment's hesitation, he placed another polished jadeite and allowed the items to enter the machine.
Soon, the synthesis results came out.
With a ding sound!
World announcement triggered!
... ...
Agent Feng hasn't been back to the base for a long time.
He is now in a seaside city called Huo Niu City.
This city has a very notable feature, which is... The city is as hot as fire. People who practice fire energy here can absorb enough energy from the air for their advancement.
The reason why it is on the seaside is because the fire power of this city is too strong and needs water to neutralize it, otherwise it will be reduced to ashes in a few days.
Agent Feng waited here for three full days, and finally the Inquisitor's second brother opened the door.
He had a tense face and didn't give Aunt Mei and Lao Lei a good look.
"When we broke up, I said that I would forget the hatred and just live the rest of my life in peace. Why can't you forget it?"
Aunt Mei's face was as cold as ice: "For 50 years, every time I close my eyes... I see the scene of my master, fellow apprentices, and children being slaughtered. I cultivated the cold energy, but this scene... is far colder and more bone-chilling than my energy. My child died right in front of me. How can I forget it?"
Lao Lei: "Second Brother, I know you have stayed away from that dispute and are living well in this city. If we didn't have hope, we wouldn't have come to bother you. This is Agent Feng. He has the same potential as the Inquisitor! He can learn anything in a flash. Others need several years of hard work, but he only needs one night!"
"He can definitely become a fourth-level judge!"
"Oh no! The fourth-level Inquisitor... is just his starting point."
Agent Feng was pushed to the front and saw the second senior brother, who had a serious expression and a dark, square-faced body as solid as a sculpture.
"Haha, do you think I would believe such a ridiculous thing?"
The second brother placed his hand on Agent Feng, and his expression gradually changed subtly.
