Chapter 575: Zhang Gui, is it true, godfather?
Chapter 575 Return, is it true, godfather?
"What a waste of natural resources! What a waste of natural resources!"
Chu Chu looked at the pile of treasures that Lu Li brought back, as well as the artifacts in the pile that Lu Li had broken during his experiments, her face filled with regret.
She glared at Lu Li, "Can't you bring it back and ask me first? How can you be so wasteful as to destroy a mythical equipment?"
Lu Li said awkwardly, "There are so many of them, and we can't take them back anyway, so we're just doing some experiments."
In fact, he didn't have many mythical equipment on him, but he was smashing a bunch of artifacts at random, which was indeed a bit strange.
But he didn't think he would be short of money after returning. These artifacts looked good, but in fact they were all made by the game's numerical planners. In Lu Li's opinion, the numbers were not good enough, and they did not match his combat style and did not meet his functional needs.
Reality is not a game, so there are equipment like his Demon Prisoner and Soul Eater. Not to mention the Demon Prisoner, which is a Zanpakutō related to one's own soul, as for equipment like the Soul Eater, a normal game planner would never come up with such outrageous values and mechanisms.
But Lu Li has it. This is the charm of forging equipment in space, which is largely based on randomness and chance.
Just like when Lu Li wanted Chu Chu to make him another piece of equipment similar to the Soul Eater's equipment, Chu Chu couldn't do it either. It was entirely a product of luck.
"Give it to me, I'll help you melt it, it's no use just smashing it."
Chu Chu kept picking up the artifacts on the ground like a hen protecting her chicks, protecting them behind her and preparing to go on the field herself.
"Melt? Will it be OK after it melts?"
Lu Li asked curiously.
Chu Chu rolled her eyes. "Broken equipment is still equipment, but it's different if it becomes pure material. It can be made into an alloy iron lump, and then counted as a whole piece of material. You only need one certification opportunity to take it away."
"Can it still be like this!?"
Lu Li opened his mouth wide, having never expected this kind of operation to be possible.
"Although it feels ridiculous, this is the fact. I don't know which clever guy discovered it."
As Chu Chu spoke, she had already taken out the forging furnace and began to recast and melt these artifacts.
The core of the artifact is made of mythical materials. Even if there is some loss after re-refining, as long as the refiner has good skills, the loss will not be much, and new equipment can be created in time.
Lu Li seized more than fifty artifacts in the Great Tomb of Nazarick this time. Together with those from Sky City, there are more than eighty in total. He can even be a wholesaler of artifacts.
It’s a pity that these things cannot be taken away, so Chuchu can only try to melt them, so that she can pack up the materials and take them away.
This behavior was like that of a bandit who would take everything he could get even if it was wasteful, which Lu Li found a bit shameful. However, in order to earn money to buy new equipment, he had no choice but to endure it.
“How long will it take to melt all of this?”
Lu Li asked, this was what he was most concerned about right now.
After breaking through the Great Tomb of Nazarick, both of his scores reached the victory standard, so the explorers of the Ancient Space had already gone back, and the End Space gave him three days to clean up the spoils of victory.
"All melted!?"
Chuchu's voice was almost screaming, "You might as well tire me out. In just three days, I can only melt more than 20 pieces even if I don't sleep. Anyway, you will make equipment when you go back, so I can only refine the materials for making equipment according to your needs first."
Lu Li looked embarrassed, and he knew that his request might be a bit embarrassing. After all, smelting equipment without damaging the materials is a technical job.
Seeing Chu Chu's expression collapse, he didn't want to urge her anymore, "Then refine it according to my equipment requirements. As for the remaining artifacts, you can choose five of them and take them away for certification."
Although Chuchu is a supporter, she can also take things back from the mission world for certification, but the price of certification is different from that of explorers.
Lu Li had concluded before that, under normal circumstances of exploration, the price of items certified by explorers was about 60-70% of their actual market value.
For someone like him who has explored the world 100%, the discount given by the space will be greater, and the certified price is about half of its actual market value.
It is equivalent to that if he brings something back, he can double the profit and earn as much as he spends.
But it’s different for supporters. The price of redeeming the certification is about 70% to 80% of its actual market value. Although there is some profit to be made, it is not much.
After all, supporters generally don’t have to fight in the mission world, and the space assumes that these incomes are lucky income outside of their hard work, and does not encourage supporters to make money in this way.
Of course, even if the profit margin from the exchange is low, the value of the mythical equipment is still very profitable. It is easy to make a few million by exchanging five artifacts.
After hearing Lu Li's words, Chu Chu instantly perked up and smiled flatteringly, "Is it true, godfather?"
"Go away, don't give me that."
Lu Li said speechlessly, "I can't take mine with me anyway, so giving it to you would be a waste for reuse."
"Cut~"
Chu Chu's cheeks puffed up, "You really don't know how to talk."
"Really? I was thinking of giving you half of the mental damage compensation I asked for before."
Lu Li looked embarrassed, "But I can't speak, I might as well keep it to myself."
"No, godfather, no, dad!!"
Chu Chu's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. She immediately put down the work at hand, came to Lu Li, and shook Lu Li's arm, "To be honest, the inheritance crystal is too important to me!"
Lu Li felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, I'll give you half when I get back, and I can get rid of the bill this time."
"That is required!"
Chu Chu's face was filled with excitement, because she knew that Lu Li had blackmailed all the explorers of the ancient space and earned dozens of inheritance crystals. With her talent, her crafting skills would be even better.
Then, we can make a better bed!
Lu Li stopped joking with Chu Chu and said, "Hurry up, time is money, melt as much as you can."
This is the truth, the melted materials are all money.
From the very beginning, he was prepared to give Chuchu half of the inheritance crystal. After all, he was not the kind of person who would shamelessly say that he was asking for mental damages for a friend but end up keeping it all for himself.
Furthermore, he felt that Chuchu had considerable potential as a forger, and the equipment she made was the best of the best. That was not just a score that could be summarized, all the equipment she made was almost superb.
For example, Lu Li currently has quite a few dark gold-level equipment...
For example, the Blood Evil Suit that Chuchu made for him in the previous world is still functional in this world, which shows how superb it is.
When Chuchu was away, he went to the big store in the commercial street to browse the Palace Master’s magnificent display case, but after looking at the properties and functions of the equipment, he felt that it was not as good as what Chuchu did in the small shop.
Moreover, big stores often bully their customers. The senior supporters of large stores may not necessarily provide them with thoughtful customized services. Even if they customize equipment for people, their target is also high-level explorers. After all, human energy is limited, so they must take big orders to make money.
Chuchu is different. The two of them have a good relationship. Although she has limited energy and cannot make a few pieces of fine equipment every month, she will at least make them well for him, and the two of them also have a certain tacit understanding.
Therefore, Lu Li felt that it was necessary to improve the strength of his personal blacksmith. This time the world made a fortune, and he could not take so much away by himself. Giving Chu Chu some benefits could be regarded as an investment in his own future.
…………
In the holy land of the theocracy, several monarchs of human countries gathered here.
"God of War, your glory will surely illuminate the world and lead us to glory."
The Blood Emperor looked pious and spoke nice words of praise, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Just now, the United Empire completed its first monarch meeting, and under the witness of Lu Li, they showed great unity and friendship.
It is also foreseeable that, basically within a hundred years, it is unlikely that there will be a war of division in the human empire, and the world will have a fairly long period of peace.
Because Lu Li made it clear at the meeting that he was going to return to the God Realm, but he would let the guardians stay and loyally carry out his final orders, responsible for monitoring the human world and serving as an absolute force to ensure the continuation of peace.
After the final battle at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he executed some of the Guardians and NPCs who were too cruel to correct.
For example, Lu Li killed a monster like Suo Liuxiang who enjoyed eating humans and regarded it as her greatest pleasure directly without any intention of keeping her alive.
For example, someone like Albedo, who is still obsessed with Bone King and has a very high evil value, is very resistant to control and sometimes does not follow the action plan set by Lu Li.
Seeing how loyal she was to Bone King, Lu Li fulfilled her wish and buried her with Bone King in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
On the contrary, a monster like Shalltear, whose evil value was very high, was inexplicably obedient and cooperative. Lu Li guessed that it might be because of his control, which activated her XP system instead, so that she even regarded the discomfort of being CPU-ed to help humans do things as a kind of Play.
Since she was so cooperative, Lu Li did not execute Shalltiya and prepared to put her in a place play later.
Some NPCs have low evil values, such as Pandora, who has only 50 evil values. Considering that he is very loyal to his father, Ainz Ooal Gown, and his resistance is very strong, Lu Li simply did not maintain the Impure World Reincarnation and let him go free.
Considering that a powerful guardian needs to have someone who is friendly to humans and can empathize with their fellow humans, Lu Li also reincarnated Olaire, the only human in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and a level 100 NPC, making her very suitable to be a lubricant between humans and guardians.
Albedo's sister, Nigret, was too evil and cruel. After defeating the Bone King, Lu Li killed her and just threw her into the big tomb.
The Gao Kangda in the great tomb is not an intelligent creature, but a golem, something like a robot. After seizing the authority, he handed it over to Sebastian, asking him to use Gao Kangda to help people build infrastructure.
Lu Li set new rules for the guardians, requiring them to obey Sebastian's orders first after he left.
Sebastian is a dragon man and has a long lifespan as well, so there is no need to worry about him dying of old age in a short period of time and causing a big chaos.
Moreover, Lu Li had given a death order to every Impure World Reincarnation body not to maliciously harm humans, so he believed that there would be no problem within a hundred years.
As for a longer time, he couldn't guarantee it, but just like in the world of pirates, he was not a saint who could plan for eternity, he could only do what he thought of.
Lu Li sat on the throne he got from the Bone King, watching the kings of various countries respectfully leave the holy land, feeling a little emotional for a moment.
He stood up from the throne and stretched his body. "Who on earth likes to sit in this position all the time? I feel like my body is going to rust."
Chu Chu walked out of the room at the back of the sanctuary with dark circles under her eyes, "You crude warrior, I enjoy the pleasure of power, do you understand?"
She waved her hand and took out a huge alloy from the storage space. "Twenty-three pieces of refined alloy, it would be more cost-effective for you to certify it. I will divide it and refine it again after I go back."
Speaking of this, Chu Chu wanted to cry. She was the one who made this thing into a ball of alloy with her own hands, but she still had to take the trouble to separate the different materials inside.
Don't make things so troublesome.
But when she thought about the fact that she could get five artifacts and a bunch of inheritance crystals for free, she secretly told herself that she should make money instead of wasting time.
Lu Li walked down from the throne, put the alloy into the storage space, and looked up at the guardians and NPCs who entered the sanctuary in an orderly manner.
On the left and right sides, the teams led by Zefia and Sebastian took their positions and saluted Lu Li in unison.
"Offer loyalty to the Supreme God of War."
This is an absurd scene, but also a sacred scene.
The divine captain who had fallen into the role of a civilian staff member in the sanctuary took up a pen to record this scene. No one knew that this painting would be passed down for thousands of years and become a legend in mythology.
Lu Li smiled and raised his hand, asking the guardians to stand up. "Everyone, I am a tyrant. I enslave your bodies and your minds. I believe that in the rest of your long life, until your soul is exhausted, you will have to move forward under this controlling power."
Many guardians stood there, lowered their heads, and listened attentively.
"But I hope you can let go of your grudges, forget my existence over time, lose your original self in the scenery ahead, find the so-called truth, and witness the development of this world, not as an NPC, but as an intelligent creature. Your journey has just begun."
When Lu Li finished speaking, a white light was already covering him.
Without anyone giving orders, the many guardians below the stage knelt down one by one, "We respectfully send the Martial God off to heaven!"
After a long time, there was no response and no instructions from the master.
Sebastian was the first to look up. The afternoon sun shone through the stained glass windows, casting mottled shadows on the huge throne of the world, like a dream.
The God of War is gone.
And their long story has just begun.
This wonderful fantasy continent, an epic chapter, has turned over a colorful page.
