“Kexijia Energy Charger!”
Once again, it was a white-level equipment, and an extremely special one at that.
Ye Zhongming picked up this half-meter-square object and looked at it from side to side, confirming that it was indeed the kind of equipment he had seen and even used in his past life.
This type of equipment is collectively referred to as a charger, with the prefix Kexijia indicating its type or perhaps representing its functionality, quality, effects, and energy type, among other attributes.
“Kexijia Energy Charger, energy type: water attribute energy, output target: all energy equipment except for fire attribute.”
“It charges energy equipment and has the effects of quickly filling energy and reducing cooldown time, with an output speed of 15 p/hour. The input speed is 30 p/hour.”
“The energy limit of the Kexijia Energy Charger is 90 p.”
There were still some unit standards that Ye Zhongming couldn’t accurately grasp, but these details were not important; what mattered was that this thing would be quite helpful to him.
The so-called energy equipment refers to items like the Treasure-Holding Gourd and Water and Fire Cauldron, which require energy to function. Normally, these equipment need to absorb energy from damaged or low-level useless equipment. Only by filling them up this way can they exert their functions.
In fact, besides this method, energy equipment can also utilize chargers to complete this energy replenishment, achieving the same effects.
In simple terms, chargers are similar to chargers for electronic devices.
Although chargers are not a necessity, they can play a significant role, offering many benefits like saving energy, saving time, and reducing limitations.
Take the Treasure-Holding Gourd, for example. This treasure can repair equipment and upgrade weapon levels, making it a major contributor over time. However, performing these tasks requires energy. Typically, Ye Zhongming could only collect damaged, low-level, useless equipment for it to “consume,” slowly accumulating energy, and then go on to repair or upgrade the equipment inside.
This situation led to the Treasure-Holding Gourd being useful, but with a long operational cycle; it easily stagnated when lacking energy.
After obtaining the Treasure-Holding Gourd, Ye Zhongming encountered times in Inner City and Linhai when he couldn't replenish energy and had to halt equipment repairs.
But with the Kexijia Energy Charger, things were different. Usually, Ye Zhongming could charge this equipment up beforehand, using various methods as long as they were water attribute. For example, water-based skills or class abilities, water attribute potions, water attribute gems, and even putting this device in water—all could replenish energy, though the effects would be suboptimal.
Once the charger was filled with energy, it could then charge the Treasure-Holding Gourd at a rate of 15 p per hour. Since he hadn’t experimented with it yet, he didn’t know how long it would take to fully charge, but it would definitely be faster than normal charging, providing a better channel for energy accumulation for the Treasure-Holding Gourd.
Naturally, due to the limitations of the Kexijia Energy Charger, it couldn't be used with the Water and Fire Cauldron, as that required fire attribute energy, which this charger couldn’t provide, though it could support other attributes.
Ye Zhongming looked at its attributes and had already agreed within himself that if it were his, the efficiency of the Treasure-Holding Gourd would more than double.
“This thing is good, take it,”
He handed another bottle of Evolution Potion to Mina.
In ten years, if this charger were taken to a major power, the six-star evolution potion could also be exchanged for it, because its value created far surpassed that of a bottle of Evolution Potion. However, from the current perspective, the five-star Evolution Potion was clearly overpriced.
Mina and Garan had both received excellent education and had a very positive outlook on the future development of this equipment. They knew its value would definitely far exceed that of a five-star Evolution Potion. But they also understood that the average evolution level among humans was shifting from two-star to three-star, making the five-star Evolution Potion an absolute rarity. Even if reluctant, they still took the charger.
