Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Luo Family’s Backyard Shenxia Treasure Alliance.
Or they are also known as the Shenxia Treasure Research and Exploration Alliance.
It was an Alliance formed by Shenxia’s government to research and explore how to fuse treasures.
Everyone knew that the many treasures in God’s Path have hidden fusion formulas.
However, no one knew what the formula was.
The players could only figure it out through trial and error.
However…
Individual players did not have the resources and energy to experiment with different combinations. Therefore, the countries and major organizations took over the task of finding new treasure fusion formulas.
They would collect many treasures and materials from different channels and combine them.
Only when they discovered the treasure’s upgrading formula or its consumption exceeded their expectations would they stop deducing the treasure.
In the past 20 years, they have discovered 134 treasure fusion formulas worldwide.
Among them were 17 E-grade treasures, 84 D-grade treasures, 26 C-grade treasures, and 7 B-grade treasures.
However… 0 A grade treasures and 0 S grade treasures.
Having a treasure fusion formula meant that one could mass-produce the treasure.
The importance of a special formula was self-evident.
Right at this moment….
In the pavilion in the Luo family’s backyard, Luo Yuan, the head of analysis of Shenxia’s Treasure Alliance, was sighing with a long face.
“The White Elephant Kingdom came up with a B-grade fusion formula without a sound. How infuriating.”
Although he was almost fifty years old, he still had the spirit of a young man. His hair was trimmed and styled neatly, and his face was clean. But what stood out the most was his golden eyes.
Since he was at home, he was dressed very casually. He wore an ordinary red and blue checkered short-sleeved shirt, matching shorts, and a pair of flip-flops.
Sitting across from Luo Yuan was his assistant, Zhang Dong, wearing a suit.
“Now the pressure is on our side.”
Zhang Dong adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, picked up the bitter tea from the table, and took a sip. He sighed heavily, “Aish, after the White Eagle and Arctic, White Elephant followed their footsteps and discovered the fusion method for B grade treasures.”
“Although we discovered the first B-grade treasure fusion formula, the B-grade treasure we obtained was still not as good as theirs.”
“And now we’re under a lot of pressure.”
There were also advantages and disadvantages between treasures of the same level.
For example, a +1 strength treasure and a +5 strength treasure were both E-grade treasures, but the latter was better.
The difference of a few attribute points still makes a difference.
The excellent treasures the Alliance made would naturally be given priority to the Divine Alliance’s Warriors.
If the warriors’ equipment were slightly inferior to those of other countries, their overall combat strength would be slightly worse.
This was something the Treasure Alliance’s leadership would not allow.
After learning that the White Elephant Kingdom had a new B-grade treasure fusion formula, the Treasure Alliance held an emergency meeting.
He was determined to find a new and better B-grade treasure fusion formula within a month!
Now.
As the head of the analysis department, Luo Yuan was troubled by this.
“Finding a new fusion formula is easier said than done. That old man Zhang wants me to give him the proposal by tomorrow. How am I supposed to do that?”
The Treasure Alliance was divided into three departments: Analysis Department, Materials Department, and Fusion Department.
The Analysis Department would develop a fusion plan, the Materials Department would provide the materials, and the Fusion Department would perform the exhaustive fusion.
Old Zhang was the head of the Materials Department.
After the Analysis Department came up with the plan, the Materials Department had to go to the inventory to find the materials. If they didn’t have enough materials, they had to replenish them from the domestic market or other countries.
After the materials were prepared, they would be sent to the Fusion Department, where they would arrange for groups of people to conduct the fusion tests.
There was only one month left, and everyone in the Treasure Alliance was very anxious.
“I’ve tried everything I can, but the result is still the same. I need time to think! What else he wants me to do? Give birth?” Luo Yuan could only complain like this in private.
In front of people, he would still say things like, “we’re trying our best.”
Zhang Dong also knew his old boss’s temper. He sipped his bitter tea, raised his eyebrows, and suggested, “If we can’t do it, why don’t we do what we did last time and ask for the players’ opinions?”
When they were clueless in the past, they asked for the players’ opinions.
There were also many successful cases.
After all, the plans that millions of people could think of were far more than mere dozens of people could think.
“If we do that, it will take more time…”
“But it’s better than nothing.”
“…That’s fine.”
After Luo Yuan made the decision, Zhang Dong quickly went down with the task.
Luo Yuan sighed silently.
Not long after Zhang Dong left, Luo Yao appeared and walked over to him.
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Luo Yuan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
“You’re a big girl now. You need to be more mature.”
Luo Yao rolled her eyes and slowly walked to a stone block with her hands behind her back. She sat down and said, “Dad, do you think the mysterious newbie in our district is someone with a high-grade treasure?”
While listening to the conversation between the two, she suddenly thought of this possibility.
“A high-grade treasure?”
Luo Yuan shook his head and sighed. “What kind of high-grade treasure can he have? He can release a meteorite of that level on the first day. Unless he’s wearing the legendary S-grade treasure on the first day, I can’t think of any other possibility.”
As one of the top 30 players in the world, Luo Yuan paid a lot of attention to the unusual situation in District 66.
However, he had a more important task at hand than looking for this mysterious player.
“I just wanted to ask, if he had a treasure that could greatly increase his magic power, could he do this at a low level?” Luo Yao asked.
Her father knew more about the treasure than Qin Mengya.
“Mm…” Seeing his daughter’s serious expression, Luo Yuan couldn’t help but think carefully.
“As of now, we have yet to discover an S-grade treasure in the entire world, so we still don’t know what kind of attributes it has. I can only guess from the attributes of an A-grade treasure that an S-grade treasure would have at least 300 attribute points.”
“If that mysterious newbie did obtain an S-rank treasure, then it’s completely possible for him to have that amount of power,” Luo Yuan said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yao nodded thoughtfully, “Looks like there’s one more possibility …”
“What’s wrong? Why do you care so much about this?”
“It’s just… This player is from my district! No one cares more about it than us.”
“… and Dad, I suddenly feel that it’s very dangerous for me to have such an abnormality. You see… Won’t you give me a high-grade treasure to protect myself?”
“I knew it,” Luo Yuan smacked his forehead.
No one knew a daughter better than their father.
When he saw Luo Yao walking over with a guilty look on her face, he had a feeling about it.
When Luo Yao was only a little girl, she would always walk over to him with a careful look on his face when she wanted him to buy her some toys.
Thinking of what she had said about “self-improvement” and “fighting for yourself,” Luo Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to work hard on your own just two days ago? Why the sudden change?”
Luo Yao’s face suddenly turned red as she quickly tried to look for an escape from the conversation, “T-that… But who would have predicted such a monster would appear in my district? What I said before doesn’t count!”
“But you’re not even level 10 yet. You won’t be able to use it even if I give it to you.”
“I’ll be level 10 soon!”
“Hehe.” Luo Yuan chuckled, feeling fond of his daughter’s cute antics. His love for his daughter overflowed in his chest.
As soon as he saw the news about District 66, he had already decided to give his daughter an excellent self-defense treasure.
However, his personality made him unable to lower his pride.
He could only sigh on purpose, then casually took out a bracelet from his player’s rucksack and tossed the item to her.
“This is the most useless treasure in my bag, but it’s more than enough for you to protect yourself.”
