I have a Synthesizer

Esmond looked at Gwen. Gwen's answers were flawless. These questions weren't even recorded, making imitation impossible.

"Use your Phase Shift Aura."

"Yes, sir!"

Gwen's colorless aura began to appear in her palm, transforming into frost one moment, then flames the next, followed by lightning, shadow, and earth. After displaying several attributes, Esmond called a halt.

"Alright, Gwen, you can go back."

Facing Esmond's inquiry, Gwen spoke directly.

"Lord Esmond, do you suspect me?"

Esmond nodded unequivocally.

"Your unexpected breakthrough, failure to complete the mission, and the previously severed magic imprint connection all aroused some suspicion in me. However, it seems there shouldn't be any issues now."

Their conversation was this direct.

"Very well, if your suspicions have been dispelled, then I will go back to work."

"Go."

Watching Gwen leave, Esmond clasped his hands together. He always felt that Gwen was somewhat different from before, but after questioning her, the feedback he received was exactly the same.

"Could it be that Gwen's breakthrough to the fifth rank caused some changes in her life essence? Is that why I have this feeling?"

Esmond gave up on further pondering about Gwen and picked up the report concerning Klein's strength, carefully reviewing it once more.

【Klein, magic power approximately at the 3rd rank, possesses several abilities including fire, shadow, and bone. Capable in close combat, with extremely strong close combat skills. Overall rating: 3rd rank SS.】

This was a very high rating, but Esmond felt that this rating was still not enough for Klein.

He took out a bottle identical to Flander's from his ring, with the bottle's number being RS-02.

Esmond gently caressed the bottle, as if caressing a treasured artifact.

"Hopefully, Klein has hidden even more abilities. Otherwise, this strength is not enough. Once Klein and Joe grow up, the time should be about right."

… …

… …

Klein finally managed to return to the Jay Social Club. He chose to have a drink with Marian as soon as possible.

Of course, drinking was secondary. The most important thing was the matter of having Marian collect resources for him.

He needed to accumulate Mysterious Potions and enhance his equipment. Therefore, he entrusted Marian with the collection of cheap elemental materials and junk magic items.

Sitting at the bar, Marian first handed Klein a shot of tequila, and then handed him over thirty spatial rings.

"You know, the goods you wanted are a bit much, and you're quite stingy, so I could only use cheap rings. There's a lot of them, so take them back and sort them out slowly."

Looking at so many spatial rings, Klein felt a little helpless. He had just synthesized the rings of the Grand Duke's soldiers, and now he was given another batch.

Klein took out five large spatial rings and placed them in front of Marian.

"You're getting richer and richer, Klein."

"How is Lance doing currently?"

"Lance is currently developing well and has already entered the potion management area."

Klein nodded without saying much. Since Lance's development was fine, he was relieved. Too much conversation would only leave a handle for others.

He finished the tequila in his glass, then turned and left, returning to his room.

… …

Back at the door of his room, he saw a note left by Marian on the door.

【I renewed your room fee for two quarters. The room fee is 18,000, the interest is 1,800, and you can give me 20,000 Thales in total, including principal and interest. You're welcome, or you can give me a bottle of Ethereal Potion, and the extra money will be my labor fee.】

"… …! ! !"

This room fee and interest calculation is something else. The room fee for two quarters is not calculated at 6,000 per quarter, but at 100 per day.

The interest is 10% for two quarters, and 200 was deducted for consumption. It's okay, it's a little better than usury. And she said no need to thank her, um, she's really a good person.

"Marian is getting more and more like the Jay Social Club recently!"

Sitting in the room, Klein sorted out the resources he currently possessed.

He gave the oddities and magic items from the Grand Duke's soldiers that could be used as wages to his subordinates.

Those that could not be given were basically decomposed by him, and he also saved a lot of magic item and oddity fragments.

His current magic item fragments, plus those Marian gave him, should be able to enhance two magic items. He'll strengthen his equipment first.

What he needs to do now is to strengthen the Sapphire Eye first. During the battle with Gwen, he already felt the power of this magic item.

Although this magic item has no attack power, Klein himself doesn't lack attack power. The mana recovery effect is always welcome.

Triple mana recovery effect will destroy the heavens and the earth. If it's still mana recovery after strengthening, then he will really be a sea of mana. Without further ado, he directly threw the eyeball into the strengthening slot.

【Strengthening the Sapphire Eye requires: Magic Item Fragment * 2, Arcane Crystal * 1】

【High probability of strengthening +1, low probability of strengthening failure, extremely low probability of strengthening +2】

【Strengthening in progress, please wait】

【Sapphire Eye successfully strengthened to +1】

The three mana recovery effects changed from 10%, 20%, and 30% to 11%, 21%, and 31% respectively.

Sure enough! The amplification intensity of this strengthening is a bit powerful. If it's +10, then he will receive an additional 30% mana recovery.

Even if the additional attribute given by +10 is not good, this 30% mana recovery is completely worth the price.

"Continue!"

… …

【Sapphire Eye successfully strengthened to +10】

Sapphire Eye +10

Grade: Magic Item

Effect 1 - Echo: Restores 20% of your mana, cooldown 1 day.

Effect 2 - Clear Spring Echo: Restores 30% of your mana, cooldown 1 day.

Effect 3 - Rune Echo: Restores 40% of your mana, cooldown 1 day.

Effect 4 - Energy Saving: Allows you to enter an energy-saving spellcasting state. Your next spell no longer consumes mana. The greater the mana consumption of the spell, the longer the cooldown time of energy saving.

Introduction: A magic eye carved from sapphire, it slowly absorbs the surrounding mana.

Looking at the effects of the Sapphire Eye, Klein was already fantasizing, oh no, it should be said, about his magic attack methods.

First use Energy Saving to give the opponent a 500-mana Fireball, then another 500-mana Fireball, and then Klein's Book gives another 500-mana Fireball.

Then turn on all the mana recovery effects, be calm and composed, and then another instant 500-mana Fireball. If the opponent is still not dead, then he really has no way to win and can only admit that the other side is stronger.

"This kind of fighting style is okay! However, I need a flying pet."

It's not that Klein doesn't have flying pets, but they are too weak.

He released the Ether Flying Pig. Although this thing can also carry him to fly, it flies slowly, and the load is small. Oddities are still oddities, and they can't bear everything alone.

"Brother, you're so weak even at +10, I really can't keep you. If you have ambition, give me a +15, and really take me to fly.

If you don't have ambition, break or return to 0. After all, you've been with me for so long, and I won't decompose you. Just stay in the dormitory honestly in the future."

The Ether Flying Pig wandered around Klein, and Klein grabbed it and threw it into the synthesizer. Go!

【Your Ether Flying Pig has been strengthened to +11】

【Strengthening failed, your Ether Flying Pig has dropped to +10】

【Your Ether Flying Pig has been strengthened to +11】

【Your Ether Flying Pig has been strengthened to +12】

【Strengthening failed, your Ether Flying Pig has dropped to +11】

【Strengthening failed, your Ether Flying Pig has dropped to +10】

… …

After repeating this more than a dozen times, Klein finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Tell me, are you a pig or a dog? Are you here to absorb my fragments on purpose? If you have backbone, just break, and I won't think about it anymore.

What do you mean by succeeding once and failing once? Are you throwing a tantrum at me? If you fail again, I'll decompose you immediately, believe it or not?"

Enraged, Klein closed his eyes and frantically clicked on strengthening until he heard the moment +15 succeeded, and then he opened his eyes.

Nearly 200 fragments were used, and Klein's heart was bleeding.

【Ether Flying Pig strengthened to +15, your Ether Flying Pig has been strengthened to the extreme】

"Hopefully it's useful!"

Ether Flying Pig +15

Effect - Spiritual Sense: Very obedient, a magical paper-like object with flying ability, extremely fast.

Effect - Flight: The load-bearing capacity is strengthened again. At this time, it can really carry people to fly.

Effect - Get Fat: The Ether Flying Pig can increase in size, allowing you to stand on its back, but the speed will decrease.

Although it is still a pig, and not cool at all, Klein finally has an oddity that can fly, which can be said to be of strategic significance for his improvement.

Before being promoted to the fifth rank and possessing his own flying ability, Klein could only rely on external objects to fly.

"Well, let's make do with it for now. I'll still find a flying magic beast and synthesize a Bottle of Holding. That's more reliable."
