“What the—!” Feng Bujue roared to the heavens from the storage room.

That heartfelt outburst came more than half a month later.

“What the hell is this? Didn’t the game description say that puzzle pieces should make at least a Fine-quality equipment?” Feng Bujue muttered to himself.

His excitement lasted only a few seconds before his expression suddenly returned to normal.

This guy’s emotional changes were like a light switch, able to go from excited to calm in an instant.

“Wait…” Feng Bujue muttered. “Could it be…” He looked at the item description again, his eyes stopping on the last paragraph of the note: 【Labeled as “Trash” and locked in the warehouse.】

“Which means… the quality and function of this thing were filled in by those victims from the ‘Wizard Association’, but the real quality is unknown, is that right…” He speculated in his heart.

With such a thought, his quest for death began…

“Hmm… I should know if I just try it.” With that thought, Feng Bujue began to examine his equipment. “As long as I throw in three Fine-quality or higher items, I have a chance to get Legendary-quality equipment, right…”

Currently, Feng Bujue thought the most useless equipment he had was the 【Eighteen Bronze Men's Folding Stool (No. 5)】. This thing, which had no equipment requirements, might be effective in low-level PK, but after leveling up, swinging this thing at someone was not as powerful as fighting with bare hands. Unfortunately, the quality of this equipment was “Dilapidated”, not enough to activate the effects of the shredder.

After thinking for about two minutes, Feng Bujue finally selected three pieces of equipment: 【Proserpina's Vacuum Cleaner】, 【Spider Silk Gloves】, and 【Goblin Poison Gas Mask】.

As the levels increased, the pace of players' battles became faster and faster, the fighting forms became more and more complex, and the intensity was even greater. Therefore, the usage rate and practicality of the above three items now seemed relatively poor.

Also Fine-quality equipment obtained at low levels, the 【Mario's Pipe Wrench】 and 【Jazz Dance】 were much superior. The former itself had the characteristics of a tool and could be used with 【Not-So-Careless Repair】, and the passive effect of the latter was even more excellent and reliable.

“Hmm, is this how it works…” Feng Bujue placed the shredder on the ground, then put the largest vacuum cleaner on the conveyor belt first.

【Important reminder: Your operation is irreversible, are you sure you want to do this?】 A system prompt and pop-up window jumped out at this time.

Feng Bujue selected Confirm, and the vacuum cleaner was fixed on the machine's conveyor belt as if it had taken root. He operated the next two pieces of equipment in the same way. After half a minute, the three pieces of equipment were lined up on the conveyor belt. Brother Jue did not hesitate and immediately pulled the operating rod next to the machine.

Ku Chi Ku Chi…

A strange noise came from inside the machine, and the conveyor belt started to move. The three pieces of equipment were suddenly cartoonized at this moment. When they entered the machine from the conveyor belt, they seemed to be “squeezed” in, and they even made a “deng” sound effect.

More than ten seconds later, after all three pieces of equipment entered the machine, the machine began to vibrate, making creaking noises, like a malfunctioning engine, and wisps of purple smoke came out of the gaps. No matter how you looked at it… this 【Type-Zero Magic-Powered Shredder】 gave people a very unreliable feeling.

After a while, the convex lens on the other end of the machine lit up. A conical beam of light focused and shot out, and a ball of white light formed, and then condensed into an item.

【Name: Detenerized Residue】

【Type: Other】

【Quality: Trash】

【Effect: None】

【Note: Material residue that has lost its characteristics, pure trash, cannot be utilized in any form.】

Feng Bujue picked up the lump of residue and read the item description in two seconds. Then, he silently and quickly destroyed it…

Five seconds later, he suddenly burst out, took out the folding stool from his bag, and slammed it against the fan machine in front of him, “Die! Die die die die die die…” He shouted while hitting, venting his unhappiness.

It is said that three useless things can顶块鸡排, but those three pieces of equipment were at least Fine-quality. Selling them casually in the auction house could be worth some money, but now… they were gone.

【Prompt: Manufacturing a Legendary item failed. The energy of the items you placed has been absorbed. The probability of success for the next manufacture will be slightly increased.】

The sound of this system prompt brought Brother Jue back to reason…

He sighed, picked up the accordion-sized machine, and placed it in a corner of the storage room.

“Man proposes, God disposes…” Feng Bujue sighed. “Based on the gambler's mentality, for Legendary-quality equipment… I guess I will fill more things in later…” He still knew his weaknesses very well. “However… anyway, I can draw equipment through extra rewards, it's just a matter of getting less experience a few times. In the future, I'll keep those Fine-quality or higher trash, and when I have more than three, I'll fill them in… As long as I keep accumulating, even if my luck is bad, statistically speaking, I can always manufacture Legendary-quality equipment sooner or later.”

Thinking like this, Brother Jue felt a little more balanced.

However… he didn't know how shockingly bad the 【Type-Zero Magic-Powered Shredder】 was. The initial value of the success rate of manufacturing items with this thing was actually only 0.01%, and the accumulation of probability after manufacturing failure was calculated according to 1% for each piece of equipment (whether it is Fine, Perfect, or Legendary)… That is to say, the first time it is manufactured, there is only a one in ten thousand chance of success. Even after he put in three pieces of equipment, the probability of success for the second manufacture was only 3.01%… If he used four pieces of equipment for the second time and failed again, then the third time it would increase to 7.01%…

Of course, the above are implicit characteristics, and players will not know. Only the game company can see these data through system queries.

“Okay… let’s go browse the mall first.” Feng Bujue finished claiming his rewards in the storage room and prepared to visit the mall.

Since this was the sleep mode server, and he logged in a little earlier than the agreed time tonight, he had an extra hundred or so minutes to do other things… It could be said that he was very leisurely.

So, he returned to the elevator room, waited for the elevator door to close, and pressed the mall button again, and then came to the bustling open space.

As mentioned earlier, the Thriller Paradise mall is a multiple mirrored space setting, that is, the game has n identical malls, distinguished by number, used to divert the number of players. The number that Brother Jue and Si Yu casually set at the beginning was 10, so the people from their Hell Frontline locked the mall entrance to the login space in area 10.

It was also a coincidence that on this day, at this time in the morning, there were many acquaintances of Brother Jue in area 10…
