Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 162: The Magical Use of Talent
This sudden inspiration struck Roy, and he froze at the door.

His mind raced.

Simple assumption, 10% success rate...

So the mathematical expectation...

Use a level 0 cracked gem to synthesize a level 1 gem.

Level 1 gems are synthesized into level 2 flawless gems.

A second-level flawless gem is synthesized into a third-level perfect gem.

Each consumes 30 secondary materials!
This is the most suitable performance range for [Luck Favors]!

Similar application scenarios also rely on probability and require luck.

For example, certain brewing potions.

Roy was so excited that he walked into the alchemy room, took out a pen and paper and started to calculate.

“The screening and purification of dust can be handed over to apprentices or ordinary workers.

neglect……

The cost of materials, tool depreciation, miscellaneous expenses, etc. are about the same...

As an adjustment value...

Plus the help of [Journeyman] in apprentice-level refining!"

Soon, the approximate dust consumption data was obtained.

"3 fragments, 9 shards, 54 fragments, 648 cracks, 1.9 intact, 58.3 flawless, 1749.6 million perfect..."

Roy looked at the draft calculation with his eyes shining.

Here he used "dust equivalent" to combine the calculations.

If we estimate the price based on one magic stone per piece of dust, we can also roughly deduce the cost price.

"The cost of second- and third-level gemstones is too high...

Never mind!
Try synthesizing a complete level one gem!
According to my calculations, the cost is 1.9 pieces of dust, or equivalent debris, fragments, etc.

This is the expected data after applying [Experienced Worker] and [Luck's Favor].

If they match, it means it is roughly correct!

Maybe I can even develop a unique skill called "gem synthesis"!

This is actually still slightly more expensive than picking it up for free.

But the advantage is that the production process is controllable and the output is guaranteed.

Large-scale refining is more likely to produce second- and third-level gems.

Then you will definitely make money!
……

In the alchemy room, in front of the desk.

Candlelight flickered.

Until late at night, Roy was still carrying out subsequent deductions and calculations.

He not only has to calculate the probability, but also the various cost budgets in the process.

In addition, the "refining array" brought by [equivalent exchange] should also be fully utilized.

Based on this, deduce a new formation!

This can avoid the complicated traditional synthesis methods, saving a lot of time, energy, and additional materials.

Several magical props that were released seemed to have spirits, hiding behind the books and secretly watching him.

I saw that Roy had temporarily removed his visor and helmet.

There was a serious look on his handsome face.

After a long time, he finally let out a long breath and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Little ones, come out!

Try my newly derived alchemy formula, and... "Gem Refining"!

Upon hearing this, the magical alchemy props hurried out.

"Lord Roy has called my name!"

"Alchemical Cauldron!"

"To!"

"Mortar!"

"To!"

"Weighing machine!"

"To!"

"counter!"

"Here!" Accompanied by one voice after another, some deep, some sharp, some childish, and some with a mixture of breath and sound.

The alchemical tools that Roy had taken out earlier all reported in on their own initiative.

Then everyone took their positions and prepared for the next step of refining on the alchemy table.

Roy ignored them and instead changed the surface of the alchemy table and created a small magic circle using a kind of magic powder he mixed himself, which was similar to magic paste.

The formation he is currently constructing originates from his origin-level talent [Equivalent Exchange].

Based on the "Alchemy Array", various symbols related to gem synthesis are engraved.

By the way, I also recorded many formulas that I had derived before.

But the language used is not the language of mathematics or nature, but the language of witchcraft.

In the process of development, wizard civilization has long derived a series of marks and runes, including will runes.

What they simulate is the operation of spiritual will, thereby controlling the operation of magic power.

……

On the other side, the alchemical tools are also ready.

Roy asked them to weigh out portions of gem dust, carefully screen and prepare them, and then bring them to him.

What he has to do is cast a spell.

"Alchemy Array" - "Gem Alchemy"!
"~!"

(Equivalent exchange!)

As the spell was chanted, bursts of white light flashed, and a large amount of powder was melted and the debris was synthesized.

As expected, the "Refining Formation" began to work as expected.

This is already a form that meets the standards for "gem refining".

As the magic array's light flickered, the debris combined into fragments and continued the same operation.

In a short period of time, no effect can be seen at all.

It's like, there is no such thing as talent.

But probabilistic things can only be manifested after large-scale refining.

Roy relied on his own talent, and even his [Mana Return] began to work, continuing steadily.

Finally, more and more fragments and various dust and other materials in his hands were consumed.

A result that was obviously higher than that of ordinary apprentice alchemy was also counted!

"My [Journeyman] has also started to take effect!"

Roy paused briefly to rest and looked at a set of counters.

They each recorded the number of various gemstones they consumed, which ultimately totaled about tens of thousands of "dust equivalents".

If calculated according to the market price, it would be worth tens of thousands of magic stones.

The total weight is also quite considerable, more than 22 pounds.

"You can continue!"

Roy took a quick look and was greatly encouraged.

Failure, failure, failure, success, failure, failure, success...

"~!"

(Equivalent exchange!)

After another synthesis.

The real key finally came.

Cracked gem*3=complete gem!

As the white light became dense, the many lights condensed on the witch formation converged.

The three cracked gems merged into one, becoming a fiery red gem the size of a cat's eye.

Under the illumination of the magical lights in the room, it seemed to be filled with a small source of magic power, slowly radiating out hot energy particles.

At first glance, it really does look a bit like a red-hot iron.

"Success!"

Roy weighed this first-level elemental gemstone and admired and appraised it for a while, then put it away and checked it with joy.

Counts, expectations, ledgers...

Roughly correct!

My guess turned out to be correct!
Although this is just a preliminary attempt, it is an excellent start.

Later you can get more dust, debris and fragments and try further synthesis.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, tens of millions...

Finally synthesize the third-level gem!
That can also bring about a huge improvement in your own strength!
