Chapter 65: Frenzied Analysis in the Artifact Storage! We've Won Too Much!
Zhu Que pretended to be carefully selecting items.
He casually picked up a pair of movement speed-enhancing magical artifacts called "Swift Boots".
[Unknown magical artifact detected!]
[Current parsing progress: 30%...60%...90%...100%!]
[Analysis successful!]
[Swift Boots: Tier 1, Cloth Item. When worn, they continuously increase the user's movement speed.]
[Requirements for replicating: 7 Tier 1 Cloth Items, 3 Tier 1 Silver Items]
Because he is now at the third level of Qi Refining, he can analyze a first-tier spiritual weapon in just a few seconds.
"Would you like to choose the Swift Boots?" the staff member asked.
"Hmm, this magical artifact doesn't seem to suit me..."
Zhu Que frowned slightly, pretending to be dissatisfied, and put the Swift Boots back.
Then, he picked up a blue-silver ring.
[Unknown magical artifact detected!]
[Current parsing progress: 28%...56%...84%...100%!]
[Analysis successful!]
[Frost Ring: Tier 1, Silver. When worn, it applies freezing frost to objects touched.]
[Requirements for counterfeiting: 8 Tier 1 Silver Items, 2 Tier 1 Jade Items]
"Would you like to choose the Frost Ring?" the staff member asked again.
"Tsk, this doesn't seem to be of much use either."
Zhu Que shook his head in disappointment and put the Frost Ring back.
"..."
The staff were speechless.
He really wanted to say, "Don't touch me if you don't want it," but remembering that this was a hero's reward specially approved by the mayor, he could only force himself to hold back.
Then.
Zhu Que walked between the shelves, going through an endless cycle of "picking up a magical artifact, hesitating, and putting it back in its place".
He quickly analyzed each first-tier spiritual artifact in his hands.
[Unknown magical artifact detected...]

……
Zhu Que appeared extremely conflicted, but inside he was overjoyed.
Cool!!
That was fucking awesome!!
It's rare to analyze so many Tier 1 spiritual artifacts at once!
Although they are all first-tier spiritual artifacts and not of high quality, their variety gives him many options for imitation.
that's it.
About half an hour passed.
The staff and film crew couldn't hold back any longer.
I said…
The staff member's forehead veins bulged as he gritted his teeth and said:
"You've been choosing for so long, what kind of magical artifact do you want? Just tell me, and I'll take you to get it!"
"Yes, we can't keep following you around taking pictures. It's getting late, and I want to go home for dinner."
The photographer said, somewhat annoyed.
"Don't rush, don't rush, let me take another look~"
Zhu Que remained completely unmoved, waving his hand and laughing, "Such an important reward, I have to choose carefully."
Just kidding, how can such a great opportunity to get freebies end like this?
Of course, we'll procrastinate for as long as we can!
Just then.
Xiao Cai and Tang Ke really thought Zhu was having trouble making choices, so they started to give him advice.
"Zhu Que, you should choose a movement speed-type magical artifact. In case of danger, being able to run fast is more important than anything else."
Xiao Cai offered her suggestions.
"I don't think running fast is very useful."
Tang Ke offered another suggestion: "It's better to choose a defensive spirit weapon. After all, no matter how fast you move, you'll be done for if you get hit once."
"Defensive magical artifacts are too passive."
Xiao Cai retorted, "What if the opponent is too strong and our defenses can't hold them off? Running away is the safest option."
"What if we can't escape? Having a defense means we can at least counterattack."
"You mean what if... what if we can't defend against it?"
The two girls started arguing back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became tense. They were at loggerheads, neither willing to give in.
While they were arguing, Zhu Que analyzed several more first-tier spiritual artifacts.

……
"Enough!!"
The staff member finally lost their patience: "Are you going to choose or not? I'm really going to go home if you don't choose soon!"
"Choose, choose, choose, don't rush, you'll be done soon."
Zhu Que calmed her down a bit.
He casually picked up a first-tier spiritual weapon, pretending to examine it carefully while secretly analyzing it.
At this time.
He happened to arrive at the middle of the first-tier spirit weapon area and the second-tier spirit weapon area.
To his left was a row of second-tier infusion-type spiritual artifacts, each labeled with the name of a spell or martial art.
"These are really good things. If only I could analyze another infusion-type spiritual artifact..."
Zhu Que thought to himself.
The creation of infusion-type spiritual artifacts is extremely difficult, with the lowest level being second tier.
Although his "Ice and Fire Unity Technique" is quite powerful, its attack methods are limited and its variations are pitifully few, making it very easy for others to see through.
"Clatter!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling behind Zhu Que.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!!"
Zhu Que looked back.
It was discovered that Tang Ke had accidentally knocked over a magical artifact.
The magical artifact fell to the ground with a "thud," and a fine crack immediately appeared on its surface.
"Hey, what's going on!"
The staff member's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over, saying helplessly, "How could you be so careless?"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I'll pay for it. How much is this magical artifact?"
Tang Ke apologized hastily.
"Wait a moment, let me check how much this magical artifact costs..."
The staff member sighed, picked up the instrument, and began to examine the extent of the damage and value of the magical artifact.
The photographer, looking exhausted, was too lazy to take any more pictures and was listlessly playing with his phone.
good chance!
At that moment, Zhu Que realized that no one was paying attention to him anymore.
Therefore, he decisively seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly looked at a row of second-tier infusion-type spiritual artifacts.
Without making a sound, he turned sideways and swiftly picked up a spirit-infusing artifact.
next moment.
Twisted tadpole-like characters appeared before his eyes—
[Unknown magical artifact detected!]
[Current parsing progress: 0.3%……0.6%……0.9%……]
very good!
The parsing speed is extremely fast!
Zhu Que suppressed his excitement and stood there expressionlessly, watching the staff member deal with Tang Ke's damage to the spiritual artifact.
Tang Ke didn't have that much money, so she called her father, Tang Dongfang, to discuss the matter of compensation.
Time passed by, second by second.
Zhu Que remained outwardly calm, but as the analysis progressed rapidly, he felt a little nervous inside.
[Current parsing progress: 15.3%……15.6%……15.9%……]
After a while.
Tang Ke's father paid the compensation for the magical artifact, and this little incident finally came to an end.
The staff member sighed, turned around and walked towards Zhu Que, and immediately saw the spirit-infusing artifact in his hand.
"Hey hey hey!!"
The staff member quickly shouted, "You can't choose that one, it's a second-tier spiritual weapon, you can only choose a first-tier one."
"I know, I'm just browsing."
Zhu Que remained calm and explained with a smile:
"And look—I'm using a second-tier magical artifact for the filming, doesn't the visual effect look better? It makes our town hall's reward seem more generous."
As he spoke, he looked at the tired photographer.
"Right, bro?"
"Ah, indeed..."
The photographer nodded; he was no longer interested in thinking. He picked up the camera and filmed a few shots of Zhu Que.
And this moment.
Zhu Que's analysis of the infusion of spiritual artifacts is nearly 99% complete!
[Current parsing progress: 98.1%……98.4%……98.7%……]
It'll be soon!
It was so close!!
But at that moment—
"Alright, alright, a few shots should be enough!"
The staff member grew impatient and snatched the spirit-infusing artifact from Zhu Que's hands.
"To put it bluntly, you really can't afford to pay for this if you break it."
"Hurry up and choose your spirit weapon. If you don't, I'm really going to report this to the leadership and have your reward canceled."
Just a second before she snatched the infusion artifact, Zhu Que's analysis progress finally reached 100%!
[Analysis successful!]
[Spell "Sword Control" Infusion Device: Second-tier, mid-grade jade artifact. Can infuse the spell "Sword Control." One use grants "Initial Understanding," while continued use grants "Slight Mastery."]
[Requirements for imitation: 9 Tier 1 Jade Items, 2 Tier 1 Cloth Items]
It worked!
Zhu Que was secretly delighted, but outwardly he pretended to be helpless.
"Alright, I'll choose this 'Spirit Storage Ring'."
[Spirit Storage Ring: Tier 1, Jade. It can store spiritual energy and replenish it quickly at any time.]
"My God, you've finally made your choice. A broken first-tier spiritual weapon. You've been agonizing over this for so long."
The staff member breathed a sigh of relief and handed him the Spirit Storage Ring.
"I'm so sorry..."
Zhu Que accepted the Spirit Storage Ring with a smile.
He lingered in the artifact storehouse for so long, seemingly only obtaining an ordinary first-tier artifact.
But in reality, he analyzed a second-tier infusion artifact and more than three hundred different types and effects of first-tier artifacts.
This is practically like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric shock door—
We've won so much!
