Chapter 927: 290. With a hidden meaning

“Sir, you’re here,” said Nolin, busy at the craftsman table. She turned her head to see Noland Lee descending from the ceiling.

She pointed to the strange object in the center of the table:

“Look, this is the simplified version of the energy-neutralizing pulse projector. Actually, calling it a simplified version might be an overestimate. Its power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it would be under normal conditions.

“Moreover, I can’t guarantee that it’s 100% effective. Because when I was building it, I didn’t have sufficient technological facilities, and I could only use alchemy to try to replicate it as best I could.”

Noland Lee came over to the table and gazed at the object on it.

This item stood about half a meter tall, with a strong and heavy square base, and atop the base rose a pitchfork-like metal object.

Rings of glass strips extended upwards from the “tuning fork” ends.

At first glance, the dull iron-gray “tuning fork,” which looked fragile enough to crumble at a touch, was hard to associate with an “energy-neutralizing pulse wave projector.”

But the deconstruction results showed…

This thing could indeed be used to counter specific spells.

[System Message:]

[You have received the panel information for “Ultra-Simple Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector”:]

[Name]Omitted

[Type]Type of technological alchemical product

[Item Level]Predicted to be Level 0

[Usage]

This alchemical device uses thunder and lightning energy as its power source.

Once activated, it can emit thunder and lightning energy in the form of pulse waves, sufficiently covering a small area.

Within that area, non-thunder and lightning magic energy might be displaced by the thunder and lightning energy, or be forced into elemental reactions, thereby achieving an effect of neutralizing energy.

[Predicted Scheme]

Shaping material: 100,000 points of thunder and lightning energy

Shaping energy consumption: 110 points of energy value

Shaping products:

25% chance of the spell “Fixed Thunderstorm,”

75% chance of shaping failure.

Your current “Energy Molding Magic” is Level 55, and the base chance of shaping failure is 45%.

Because the item level of this object is significantly lower than that of finished products, the chances of shaping failure increase by an additional 30%.

After raising the item level of this object, the additional chances of shaping failure will decrease.

…

Wow, it really is “simple,” isn’t it?

Noland Lee chuckled silently to himself.

It was the first time he had encountered a situation where the item level was so low that it led to an additional chance of failure in the shaping scheme.

Seeing a slight change in Noland Lee’s expression, Nolin said cautiously:
