[The blacksmith said that the furnace is made of special material and can be repaired, but it requires a very special material. Without this material, even he cannot repair it.]

【What materials do you need to ask the blacksmith?】

[The blacksmith seriously raised all the fingers of both hands at you!]

[Ten bottles! The blacksmith tells you that if you want to know this secret, you need at least ten bottles of this wine!]

"Ten bottles..."

Mu You's finger had already been placed on the large box in the ring that he had specially packed and sealed with fifty bottles of various famous wines. He was stunned when he saw this condition, withdrew his finger from the "gift all" option, and opened the box.

I opened the box and counted ten bottles.

[You handed ten bottles of unknown wine to the dwarf blacksmith.]

[The blacksmith was overjoyed, hurriedly put away all the wine bottles, and happily told the secret.]

[The material needed to repair the furnace is called "Cold Iron Essence", which is an extremely rare living metal that can only be born and continue to grow in extremely cold places.]

[The old blacksmith once owned a piece of cold iron essence seedling, but it was too small to be used to refine weapons. This is why he chose to retire at the foot of the Misty Mountain after being exiled by the empire. The icy environment on the top of the mist mountain was exactly where the cold iron was.

An excellent environment for sperm growth.】

[When the blacksmith was young, he sent the iron essence seedling to the top of the misty mountain. Now hundreds of years have passed, it should have grown to a size large enough to make weapons.]

[It’s just that the environment on the top of the misty mountain is too extreme. The icy wind that acts on the regular level floats on the snowy mountain top all year round. This kind of wind has the characteristic of "not being able to keep warm". No matter how thick the clothes are, people will be caught in the wind.

Continue to lose temperature until you freeze to death.]

[The dwarves live on the ice-covered plateau all year round and have a natural resistance to cold. Coupled with the strong body of the blacksmith when he was young, they can withstand the invasion of the icy wind. But now the old blacksmith has been addicted to alcohol all year round.

, my body has long since deteriorated, and I can no longer withstand the harsh environment on the top of the mountain, so I have been unable to go up the mountain to retrieve the iron essence.]

[The blacksmith gives you the map of the location where he buried the iron essence on the top of the mountain, saying that if you have the ability to retrieve the iron essence from the top of the mountain, he will give the iron essence to you and help you repair the synthesis furnace.]

[You have obtained the "Rudimentary Misty Mountain Top Map".]

Mu You clicked it and took a look, and it turned out to be a "simple" map. On the map, only a few strokes were used to outline the relative positions of several peaks, and then an X was drawn somewhere on one of the peaks.
p>

"Can't it be kept warm..."

Mu You frowned. Being unable to keep warm means that you cannot rely on ordinary external objects to resist the cold. Your body must be able to withstand the temperature of nearly 100 degrees below zero. This is indeed a bit troublesome.

The only solution Mu You can think of for the time being is the magic potion "ice resistance potion".

However, this potion can only last for five minutes, and the cooling time is as long as one day. On such a vast snowy mountain top, five minutes is obviously too late to do anything.

After thinking for a moment, Mu You still shook his head. This matter is not urgent. Even a broken furnace can still be used. At least anything below the sophisticated level can be synthesized normally. As for the higher ones, he doesn't have that many low-level equipment available now.

.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Muyou teleported to the Elf Forest.

After having the chocobo, traveling became much more convenient. It took him more than ten minutes to find the training hall in the forest, entered it, and chose a "Elf Fighting Technique" training.

This is a pure melee skills training,

Without adding any attributes or talents, Mu You still doesn’t know the specific effect, but among the remaining trainings that can be exchanged, this seems to be the most useful one.

[Elf fighting skills training is in progress and is expected to be completed in 8 hours...]

After eight hours of training, the game cannot be operated.

Mu You went out to complete the typing task, and then quickly caught up on her sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Yao called early and woke Mu You up.

When I went downstairs, I saw a sneaky little girl lingering at the door.

Mu You opened the door and let her in.

Lu Yao took out a cardboard box from her backpack. When she opened it, it was filled with equipment of all kinds.

Mu You also handed her the mud boots.

After the two people counted each other, the deal was concluded.

"Are you really sure you want them all? It's still too late to regret now..." Lu Yao still looked at Mu You with some suspicion.

"What's there to regret? Besides, I'll cover all the ordinary and black iron-grade equipment in your store from now on," Mu said.

"Holy shit, you still want it?"

Lu Yao looked at Mu You in surprise, hesitated, and asked: "Do you... have any way to synthesize equipment?"

Mu You thought for a while and nodded: "I know a blacksmith in the game who can combine low-level equipment into a higher-level one, but the highest level is sophisticated."

This business will be done for a long time in the future. Just like now, Lu Yao can easily see his purpose, so he simply finds a reasonable reason himself to save others from guessing.

"Sure enough!"

Lu Yao's eyes lit up: "That's great! If you come up with sophisticated equipment and want to take action in the future, remember to find me!"

"Okay."

……

After watching Lu Yao leave, Mu You moved the box back to the room, entered the backpack space, took out the synthetic furnace, and started the experiment on the spot.

The description of the synthesis furnace mentions the word "recipe", which means that the actual synthesis combinations may be more than those two.

Mu You randomly picked six pieces of black iron-level equipment from the box and threw them into the furnace one by one, filling the six grids.

After closing the lid, the stove trembled slightly, the surface gradually became hot, and the synthesis began.

[Synthesis furnace: Synthesis is in progress and is expected to end in 24 hours. The synthesis process cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will lead to unknown consequences.]

"Unknown consequences..."

Looking at the prompt fed back from the omniscient crystal, Muyou thought for a while, held the pocket watch, and opened the furnace lid.

The moment the lid was opened, a large amount of hot air spurted out. At the same time, along with a muffled sound, a piece of equipment being formed in the furnace turned into a piece of coke in the dense mist.

But before it was scorched, Mu You could still see clearly that it was a bow, and the style looked somewhat familiar.

"In other words, what will be refined in the end is actually determined the moment the equipment is put in..."

Mu You thought, and immediately pressed the pocket watch to return to before starting the synthesis.

Looking into the furnace again, sure enough, in the first grid of the furnace, there is a black iron-level bow, which is almost the same in appearance as the fused equipment just now.

This discovery made Mu You's heart skip a beat: Could it be that the synthesized equipment is not completely random, but also has a certain pattern?

Thinking of this, he immediately changed a batch of equipment and conducted the same experiment again.

As a result, after opening the lid this time, what was formed in the furnace was the shadow of a shield, and none of the six pieces of equipment he just put in was a shield?

"Is it just a coincidence?"

Mu You frowned, looked back in time, and continued trying.

What follows is constant experimentation and backtracking.

After trying dozens of times in succession to combine the various equipment on hand as much as possible, Mu You finally figured out the rule: as long as three of the six pieces of equipment invested are of the same type, such as three weapons,

The final synthesized weapon must be a weapon. At the same time, the final synthesized weapon style and appearance will also be the same as the weapon in the first grid.

And if you put three items of each type at the same time, such as three weapons and three breastplates, the last one will appear

The probability of chest armor and weapons is half and half.

In other words, as long as the conditions are met, he can predict the type and shape of the final synthesized equipment in advance.

Once you master this rule, it will be much easier to handle.

The first thing Mu You thought of was: You can upgrade your mithril bow!

"Mithril bow, red oak wand, poison wand, hound helmet, colonist's shoulder armor, flame necklace."

Mu You put six pieces of ordinary-level equipment into the furnace in turn and closed the lid.

After starting to synthesize, he opened the furnace and took a look. In the flash of exploding light and shadow, it turned out that what was left in the furnace was the image of the mithril bow, and it also had an empty slot.

In other words, the punching slot will also be inherited after synthesis!

In this way, Mu You felt relieved, went back in time, re-covered the lid, and started the synthesis with peace of mind.

It took a whole day to synthesize. Muyou placed the stove in the corner, then took out his phone and took a look.

[Elf fighting skills training has been completed.]

One night passed, and the training in the training hall was over.

Mu You felt that there were some messy memories, or instincts, in his mind.

This was a very mysterious feeling. He immediately summoned a wooden clone in the grass and tried his fists and kicks against the clone.

The conclusion is that his actions and reactions are significantly smoother than before, and his every move is organized. This is of course not an improvement brought about by attribute changes, but an improvement in combat skills.

If his previous close combats with people were all wild street fights, now he has a formal fighting system. The elf fighting method, which is famous for its flexibility and agility, allows him to use his original strength

and agile attributes, to utilize them in a more efficient way.
