Chapter 374 Beyond Imagination Results
"Awesome," Eric sighed in relief as he looked at the data on the screen.
Sagestone (Completion: 36%)
Epic Level Special Item (Guaranteed drop upon death)
Alchemical Holy Relic, capable of turning stone into gold and resurrecting the dead, among other miraculous uses. However, it was destroyed by Sword Emperor Rennet and shattered into five pieces. Sagestone possesses great power, and once all five pieces are collected, it can restore its full strength.
Usage: Due to its damaged state, it currently holds less than one-seventh of its original power, only capable of alchemical transformation, elemental refinement, alchemical synthesis, and elemental enhancement.
With alchemical synthesis available, getting Magic Source Stones shouldn't be a problem.
Just as Eric was about to start the alchemical synthesis, the system announcement rang out, not once, but three times.
Eldoria Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Smile Over Ruins for being the first team to conquer the Adversity-level Bone Ruins. Guild honor points: 10,000, Guild reputation points: 10,000, all team members receive 10 Eldoria reputation points and 100 Maple City reputation points.
Eldoria Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Smile Over Ruins for being the first team to conquer the Adversity-level Bone Ruins. Guild honor points: 10,000, Guild reputation points: 10,000, all team members receive 10 Eldoria reputation points and 100 Maple City reputation points.
"No way, Bone Ruins is a fifty-player raid. How could a guild team have cleared it already?" Eric thought he must have misheard, but upon checking the system information, it was indeed true.
"Smile Over Ruins? Isn't that the second-rate guild secretly controlled by The Stygian Alliance, dominating Maple City?" Eric was surprised as he looked at the name of the team that cleared the raid. "How could they be the first to clear it?"
Eldoria has hundreds of cities, countless guild experts, and many top-tier guilds. The team most likely to be the first to clear a fifty-player raid was Isabella's team from Silvervale City, Eric was sure of that.
After entering Silvervale City, Eric had created a detailed guide for the city, which Isabella had spent a lot of money to purchase, giving her a significant advantage from the start. To ensure they secured the first clear of the three major raids, Isabella had gathered many experts from Devouring Serpents and purchased Adamantite shields, Arcane Sentinel, and a large number of beginner-level magical Armor Scales of the Ancients from Eric. In terms of personnel and equipment, even the top-tier guilds in Eldoria City couldn't compare.
Yet, such a team couldn't compete with the second-rate guild Smile Over Ruins. Although Smile Over Ruins was backed by The Stygian Alliance, which surely provided substantial funds and experts, the first clear of a fifty-player raid couldn't be achieved with just money and a group of experts.
If that were the case, Isabella would have already secured the first clear of the Eternal Slumber Dungeon, without waiting for Smile Over Ruins, controlled by The Stygian Alliance.
Moreover, in Eric's memory, Smile Over Ruins had always been very ordinary, eventually defeated by the Assassin's Alliance and disappearing in the tides of Divine Realms: Legends.
"What secret is Smile Over Ruins hiding?" Eric wondered. According to the information he obtained from Celestial Paragon, Smile Over Ruins didn't have anything special. Even with The Stygian Alliance's full support, sending fifty Guardians of the Abyss to clear the raid, he couldn't believe Smile Over Ruins could be the first to clear a fifty-player raid.
But Smile Over Ruins did it, proving that their team had exceptional qualities, even surpassing Isabella's team.
If Smile Over Ruins continues to develop without competition, with The Stygian Alliance's secret support, Eric couldn't estimate how strong they would become in the future.
The three system announcements caused a sensation throughout Eldoria. Everyone had been speculating which top-tier guild would secure the first clear of the fifty-player raid, but the result was far beyond their expectations.
A second-rate guild accomplished what many top-tier guilds couldn't...
Suddenly, Smile Over Ruins became the focus of all players in Eldoria.
"I need to speed up, too," Eric muttered to himself.
He began the alchemical synthesis with the Sagestone.
No matter how strong the enemy is, personal strength is the most important.
Eric placed one Sorcerous Crystal after another into the Sagestone, watching the synthesis bar slowly increase from 1%, continuously growing until he placed 50 crystals, reaching 100%.
Although synthesis was possible, the Sagestone wasn't in its complete state, with an alchemical synthesis rate of only 50%.
"Truly worthy of being an alchemical Holy Relic," Eric couldn't help but marvel.
If other alchemical masters saw this synthesis rate and the required number of items, they would be speechless with excitement.
Even for alchemical masters, the synthesis rate is only around 20%, which is already quite high, and the required items are usually over 200. That's why no one is willing to use alchemical synthesis to create high-level materials. But compared to the Sagestone, these masters are not even in the same league. Its success rate is almost absurdly high, living up to the name of an alchemical Holy Relic.
And alchemical synthesis is just a small part of the Sagestone's capabilities, explaining why it has caused numerous kingdoms and empires to fight over it, leading to continuous wars.
"Let's start the synthesis," Eric said, clicking the synthesis button.
Three seconds later, a gray stone the size of a fist appeared in Eric's hand, the Magic Source Stone.
"Great!"
Seeing the successful synthesis of the Magic Source Stone, Eric continued placing Sorcerous Crystals for alchemical synthesis.
Meanwhile, Eric immediately contacted MelancholyGrin, instructing her to quickly purchase Sorcerous Crystals. The Guild of Aether Wing's Sorcerous Crystals were far from enough to synthesize 21 Magic Source Stones.
Even with a 100% synthesis rate, 21 Magic Source Stones would require 1050 Sorcerous Crystals. With a 50% synthesis rate, at least 2100 Sorcerous Crystals would be needed.
Eric had already used many Sorcerous Crystals, leaving him with 508.
A conservative estimate would require 2000 Sorcerous Crystals, given the 50% synthesis rate. To be safe, more should be prepared.
"President, are you serious? Purchasing 2000 Sorcerous Crystals is no small amount. The market price for one Sorcerous Crystal is 8 silver coins, 1600 would be 160 gold. This is the best estimate, and buying in bulk will surely cause the price to skyrocket in Silvervale City. It might cost two to three times more, roughly 300 gold." MelancholyGrin, usually handling Celestial Union's procurement, was excited about dealing with such a large transaction for the first time.
"300 gold, converted to credit points, is over 4 million. She had never spent so much money in her life.
It's easy to exchange 300 gold for credit points, but buying 300 gold with credit points is much harder.
"This doesn't matter. Just make sure to get it done quickly." Eric couldn't worry about the cost now. The priority was the class change quest, even if it cost thousands of gold. Once MelancholyGrin and the others produced a large number of beginner-level Armor Scales of the Ancients, the gold would be earned back eventually.
Over an hour later, MelancholyGrin handed 2000 Sorcerous Crystals to Eric, experiencing the thrill of being a big spender.
During this time, Eric hadn't been idle, using 500 Sorcerous Crystals to synthesize 6 Magic Source Stones and creating some beginner-level Armor Scales of the Ancients to improve his forging skills and provide guild benefits.
"Hope my luck isn't too bad," Eric said, taking a deep breath.
He began the alchemical synthesis with the 2000 Sorcerous Crystals.
100... 200...
Sorcerous Crystals were consumed continuously.
After using 1650 Sorcerous Crystals, Eric finally gathered 21 Magic Source Stones.
