Chapter 21 "Treasure" props
To Huang Hong's surprise, there was a "rare item" label next to the old gourd's name.
Looking at the old gourd's attributes, Huang Hong was even more shocked...
Attribute: A gourd with spiritual power. When liquid is poured into it, the liquid will be slowly nourished by the spiritual power within the gourd, thus restoring physical strength.
This was the first time Huang Hong had seen extraordinary attributes on a regular-quality item. He guessed that it was most likely due to the "rare" label.
Huang Hong realized that he had probably struck gold this time. He activated the enhancement ability on the old gourd, and the feedback he received surprised him again. Enhancing the old gourd actually required 100 points of source energy.
The reason why reinforced Iron Man armor requires so much is because of the sheer size of the Iron Man armor itself.
The old gourd is only the size of a palm, yet it requires 100 points of source energy, which can only mean that it is special.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!
Huang Hong chose to enhance without any hesitation...
[Old Gourd (Rare Item)]
Affixes: container, restore
Quality: Rare
Capacity: 3/3 (Recovers 1 unit of capacity per hour)
Attribute (Rare): Connects to an extraordinary spring, continuously producing clear and sweet spring water, which slightly restores physical strength after drinking.
Loading ability: Can solidify any type of medicine in the spring, so that the resulting spring water has some of the effects of that medicine.
Note: Solidified medicine cannot be removed; it can only be replaced. After replacement, the old medicine will disappear.
Huang Hong smiled happily. Just as he had expected, the [Old Gourd (Rare)] was a recovery item, and its attributes were even better than he had imagined.
It is connected to the extraordinary spring, which can continuously produce sweet spring water that can restore physical strength. After loading, it can also solidify a kind of medicine in the spring water, so that the sweet spring water produced has some of the effects of solidified medicine.
More importantly, there are no category restrictions for solidified drugs!
In other words, if Huang Hong solidifies recovery-type medicines, the [Old Gourd (Rare)] will continuously produce spring water with recovery effects. But what if he solidifies medicines that can increase attributes? Or medicines that can improve aptitude?
By then, what were originally rare, one-time-use drugs would become drugs for permanent use, and even with the existence of so-called drug resistance, it would still be enough for Huang Hong to make a fortune.
As for the fact that the solidified medicine cannot be removed and can only be replaced, there is nothing that can be done about it.
I just don't know to what extent this so-called partial effect can be achieved.
With that in mind, Huang Hong changed the loading item to the [Old Gourd (Rare)], wanting to give it a try.
As soon as the change was completed, Huang Hong sensed something different.
He felt as if a faint warm current had entered his body, flowing through his limbs like a clear spring, slowly but steadily restoring his strength.
It's the inherent attributes of the [Old Gourd (Rare)] that are taking effect!
Upon further reflection, Huang Hong understood that the capacity of the [Old Gourd (Rare)] was limited, so when the capacity was full, it naturally could not absorb more sweet spring water.
But things are different after loading. The [Old Gourd (Rare)] is essentially integrated into Huang Hong's body and becomes a part of him.
In this situation, even if the [Old Gourd (Rare)] is full, it will still continuously produce sweet spring water, which will directly merge into Huang Hong's body, just like having a mobile fountain in the game.
If Huang Hong's speculation is correct, the rate at which this sweet spring is produced should be linked to the production capacity of the [Old Gourd (Rare)] itself, that is, 1 unit capacity per hour.
To verify this hypothesis and to test the effectiveness of solidifying the medicine, Huang Hong separately reinforced a portion of Yunnan Baiyao and solidified it into the spring of the Old Gourd (Rare Item).
Then, he made a cut on his arm, examined it carefully, and after a moment, drank a mouthful of spring water…
After a series of experiments, Huang Hong confirmed his hypothesis and also figured out the effect of solidifying the medicine... one-third!
Although there are far fewer of them, it's important to know that this is a recovery resource that can be produced indefinitely, and its true value can only be realized after obtaining those rare and valuable medicines.
Unfortunately, the effects of the spring water evaporate quickly once it leaves the gourd, making it impossible to preserve for a long time.
This ruined Huang Hong's plan to stockpile large quantities of recovery potions.
Because some of it was consumed, the previous effect of continuous automatic recovery disappeared. This is because the spring needs to be replenished first with the [Old Gourd (Rare)] before any excess spring water can overflow for Huang Hong to absorb.
Even ignoring the loading effect, the [Old Gourd (Rare)] itself has an excellent attribute of restoring stamina.
Don't forget, Huang Hong can activate the Myriad Enhancement by consuming his own physical strength, and the rare quality items generated by the enhancement can be decomposed into source energy.
In other words, he can actually generate his own energy, and the faster his physical strength recovers, the more energy he can produce!
What is a true capitalist? It's someone who not only exploits others, but also exploits themselves!
Of course, this "self-production and self-sales" system is definitely not feasible in the crisis-ridden Anyue City. Huang Hong also needs to improve his physical constitution limit, so that he won't be weakened for a period of time after strengthening a rare quality piece of equipment, which would be too dangerous.
Switch the loading item back to the Iron Man Armor to avoid this big thing taking up space outside, and then put the [Old Gourd (Rare)] into your backpack.
After doing all this, Huang Hong continued his search, but this time he searched the entire game exhibition hall and still couldn't find a single ordinary quality equipment or item.
Huang Hong wasn't disappointed. He had already gained a lot by finding three pieces of equipment with excellent attributes.
Next, we conducted a brief investigation into the condition of the giant purple tree.
Looking at the pale purple light emanating from the giant purple tree under the enhanced perspective of the myriad phenomena, Huang Hong believed that if he cut off a section of its roots, he would most likely be able to decompose it into a large amount of source energy.
However, doing so could also lead to unpredictable consequences, such as the purple giant tree awakening and destroying everything around it.
Putting aside the dangers Huang Hong would have to bear, he is not a selfish person and would not destroy a refuge that tens of thousands of people had worked so hard to build for his own selfish desires.
Although, as any intelligent person can see, the safety here is only temporary.
After all, all the monsters that have appeared so far have been hostile to humans. Could this giant purple tree be an exception?
Huang Hong climbed along the roots and quickly circled the main trunk of the giant purple tree.
He made two discoveries: first, he found an area with a more intense purple light, which was the junction of the trunk and crown of the purple giant tree; second, there were many intertwined roots on the branches of the purple giant tree's crown. They seemed to belong to the purple giant tree, but they did not. Under the enhanced perspective of the myriad phenomena, these roots were like intersecting neon lights, flashing with green or blue light.
The former might be the weakness of the giant purple tree, while the latter reminded Huang Hong of parasitic vines.
Thinking of this, Huang Hong's expression became solemn. Let alone the giant purple tree, even the awakening of just some of the parasitic vines would be enough to bring annihilation to this settlement.
Huang Hong carefully withdrew, preparing to tell Shen Guoqing about the matter. Whether the latter was taking precautions or simply ignoring it was beyond his control.
