250: Chapter 250: Using Hard Work to Move Luck! What Kind of Trash is a Two-Star Star Core?

Zhang Jian opened his panel impatiently and saw the effects of two brand-new entries.

[Universe-Grade Synthesis Expert] (Transcendence Realm) (+1)

You persevered in using the most primitive method to craft star cores by hand.

Your financial resources are moving, and your crude synthesis method has touched a certain powerful Will in the Universe, granting you a rule-based bonus from a higher dimension.

When you do not use synthesis furnaces, synthesis protection vouchers, or other boosting methods, and only use the natural synthesis method to synthesize star core fragments, the success rate is increased by an additional 10%. (+10%)

To improve the entry effect, you still need to: use the natural synthesis method to synthesize 9/10 times.

[Blessing in Disguise] (Heavenly Dao-Grade) (+1)

You are persistent, and you are plagued by bad luck.

Your actions are heartbreaking, and you have gained a bonus from inexplicable metaphysical energy.

Every time you fail to synthesize 10 times in a row, the next attempt will receive an additional success rate bonus.

The current bonus is: 10% (+10%). Effort will move luck!

To improve the entry effect, you still need to: have the entry take effect 1/10 times.

The first entry looks relatively normal; it can be considered a constant success rate bonus.

Although the mention of synthesis furnaces let Zhang Jian know that besides synthesis protection vouchers, there are other auxiliary items for synthesizing star core fragments.

But when he asked the Will of the Heavenly Dao, it also indicated that it had never heard of them.

Zhang Jian suspected that such things were likely only possessed by powerful planets with strength in the Transcendence Realm or even higher.

It was normal for Water Blue Planet not to have them.

But even without these things.

With the bonus from this entry, he didn't need to consume synthesis protection vouchers. Even using the most Elementary synthesis method, he could directly raise the initial 2% success rate to 22%.

It was even a doubling of the improvement compared to consuming 1000 units for synthesis. It could be considered a leap to the heavens!

As for the second entry, it left Zhang Jian unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.

It seems having bad luck isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Zhang Jian even recalled a little trick from playing games in his past life for rushing to reinforce top-tier equipment.

You would first keep trying with ordinary equipment, then switch to the top-tier equipment at a critical moment after consecutive failures, chasing that momentary change. It was commonly known as "padding equipment."

The effect of this current entry felt so familiar.

It was just that the padding brought by this current entry had a pattern. The bonus was also a fixed effect, and the effect was not weak.

Zhang Jian felt reassured. The combination of these two entries could be considered icing on the cake.

Coupled with the effect of [Heavenly Dao Reduction], it was simply like the mother of badass opening the door for badass—badass to the core!

Starting the synthesis again, his mood improved significantly. Even if he failed repeatedly, he didn't care as much.

And with the bonus from the [Universe-Grade Synthesis Expert] entry, his luck was significantly better this time. He succeeded in synthesis after only three attempts.

In his hand, a spherical object was emitting a faint starlight.

On the surface, it looked unremarkable, but Zhang Jian could feel the impressive weight it contained and the faint yearning coming from within his body.

It seemed as if he only needed to absorb this star core to allow his body to undergo a transformation.

"You actually managed to synthesize it?"

The Will of the Heavenly Dao did not know when it had started paying attention to the situation here, and its voice suddenly rang out in Zhang Jian's heart.

However, compared to the calm and composed tone from before, this time it seemed a bit excited, and it even sounded slightly distorted.

Zhang Jian blinked, somewhat surprised by its reaction. "It doesn't feel that hard to synthesize."

The Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to be silent for a moment before exclaiming, "I really didn't expect to see another star core in such a short time."

Its voice paused, then suddenly raised in pitch. "And it... it's actually a two-star one?"

Zhang Jian picked it up and examined it. Through the light in the warehouse, he indeed saw two faintly shimmering little stars.

He immediately asked humbly, "The level of this thing varies when synthesized?"

"Of course!" The Will of the Heavenly Dao answered impatiently.

"Although they are all star cores, when used for a Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm, the effects brought by different qualities are completely different."

"One could even say they are worlds apart."

"The effect of this two-star one is basically double that of a one-star!"

Zhang Jian was somewhat surprised. "The gap is that big?"

Following the method taught by the Will of the Heavenly Dao, he held it tightly in his hand and sensed it carefully. After more than ten seconds passed, a piece of information emerged in his heart.

[Star Power limit increased by 5%]

Zhang Jian curled his lips. "This effect is too weak, isn't it?" A two-star one only adds this small percentage; how weak must a one-star one be?

The voice of the Will of the Heavenly Dao drifted over leisurely. "This is already not low..."

"Although you only need one complete star core to Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm."

"But every time you promote within the Transcendence Realm, you can absorb star cores, and the small advantages accumulated will eventually become a huge advantage!"

Zhang Jian suddenly realized. If that was the case, then indeed, the higher the quality, the better.

He was also a bit curious. "What is the maximum number of stars this thing can have?"

The Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to be thinking, and its voice came after a pause.

"In the information passed down, it should be a minimum of one star and a maximum of nine stars."

"But I have limited knowledge about the specific differences of each star level." "Unless..."

Zhang Jian was somewhat surprised. This tone seemed a bit hesitant?

"Unless I consume resources to obtain relevant information from the outside world."

"The best way is to spend a complete star core..."

Its voice became quieter and quieter, as if it was very embarrassed.

Zhang Jian finally understood. So that was it, it was waiting for him right here.

He only considered it for a moment before readily agreeing. "Then just use this one first, and help me find out the detailed situation."

The Will of the Heavenly Dao did not expect Zhang Jian to be so generous. Instead, it started to struggle.

"How about we forget it." "Every star core has a probability of giving birth to a Transcendence Realm powerhouse; if it's just used to learn information, it's a bit too extravagant."

Zhang Jian curled his lips. "Didn't you say the highest is nine stars?" "It's just a two-star one; when I Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm, I will definitely use one of higher quality than this."

Seeing that the Will of the Heavenly Dao was still being coy, Zhang Jian became a bit impatient.

"Take it and use it, consider it a loan from me." "Help me first... and it can also be considered as helping all the Professionals on Water Blue Planet by getting back more important information!"

The Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to be intimidated by Zhang Jian's Aura. It was stunned for a moment before responding weakly, "Alright then."

After receiving Zhang Jian's permission, this newly synthesized two-star star core suddenly disappeared from his hand.

Ten minutes later, a portion of information transmitted by the Will of the Heavenly Dao appeared in Zhang Jian's mind.
