It's yet another extraordinary item from the "multi-purpose" series.
Xia Zhi was no stranger to this; he already owned several items from the same series.
[Multi-purpose key], [Multi-purpose syringe], [Multi-purpose bottle].
I have gained some understanding of this so-called "universal" prefix. It roughly means that the effects of this type of item can be used in a general and universal way.
This multi-purpose battery is no exception.
Xia Zhi looked at the item description for its effect of "consuming existing energy to provide any recovery effect to the carrier," pondered for a moment, picked up the translucent light purple sphere, and slowly brought it closer to his body.
When the sphere touched his chest, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"A fusion-compatible item has been detected: [Universal Battery]".
"Should we proceed with the fusion?"
Xia Zhi confirmed in his mind: "Yes."
The translucent, pale purple sphere seemed to disappear into his body as if it were nothing.
At the same time, Xia Zhi felt a strange aura within his body.
Upon opening the system page, he saw a new buff effect in his status information: [Powered by universal battery, current remaining power 15%]
Xia Zhi opened the character panel again, and an image of himself appeared before his eyes. He was equipped with many special items and had a pair of huge wings on his back.
He shielded these external objects, leaving only a simple humanoid image, from which he could clearly see a pale purple sphere inside the image's chest that was faintly glowing.
Two minutes passed like this, and nothing seemed amiss.
Xia Zhi casually cast a [Healing Spell].
The mana bar was almost full again after it was just a little bit depleted.
Because of his meditation technique, his mana recovery rate was already very fast, so it was impossible to tell how effective the [Universal Battery] was at providing power.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then took out a piece of wood from his inventory, inscribed several divine words on it, and turned it into a golden item.
This process should have consumed some of his divine power and a considerable amount of his mental energy.
But after Xia Zhi finished, when he opened the system panel to check, he found that his divine power and spirit values were actually full.
He retrieved the gold item he had just finished, took out a piece of wood, and began making it again.
After crafting three gold items in succession, Xia Zhi still did not feel any mental fatigue.
He opened the system panel again and found that his divine power and spirit were still full.
The original boost effect has changed slightly: [Powered by universal battery, current remaining power 13%]
Compared to before, the battery capacity of the multi-purpose battery has decreased by 2%.
This electricity was likely used to restore his two attribute values.
It can even restore divine power, and the amount of electricity required to replenish divine power is not too much.
Xia Zhi was a little surprised.
Based on the current situation, if the [Universal Battery] has 100% power, it should be able to restore his entire divine power value more than three times.
This is much faster than using the Essence of Sun and Moon to recover.
Most importantly, the [Essence of Sun and Moon] is restored slowly, while the [Universal Battery] is restored instantly. In this respect, the [Universal Battery] is far more practical than the [Essence of Sun and Moon].
However, the two cannot be compared so simply. After all, the greatest use of the "Essence of Sun and Moon" lies in its gentle nature, which can be used in almost any way, including medicine, childbirth induction, incense making, essential oils, etc. It can be used separately; the "Multi-purpose Battery" only has one battery and can only be used in one place at a time.
Xia Zhi then looked at the hidden effect of the [Universal Battery]: [Each time this item is fully charged, its total chargeable capacity increases by 0.01%.]
This is a rare growth attribute, meaning that as long as Xia Zhi uses this item for a long enough time and fully charges it a sufficient number of times, its battery capacity will become very large.
It's almost as if he has extra health bars, mana bars, divine power bars, mental power bars, stamina bars...
"A very nice item."
Xia Zhi was very satisfied with the item.
There's still some time left, so we can do a full charge. A full charge means going from 0% to 100% battery capacity; you need to completely deplete the remaining battery power first.
Xia Zhi raised his hand and set up a time-accelerating barrier in the room, then continued to create the divine artifact.
As the number of times the universal battery is made increases, its power gradually decreases until it reaches 0%.
Xia Zhi stopped making the print and placed his handprint on his chest.
With a thought, he removed the multi-purpose battery from inside his body.
At this point, the appearance of the "universal battery" changed from light purple to colorless, and it seemed that the depth of color also represented the amount of power.
The room window was half open, and a gentle breeze blew in from outside, automatically flowing towards the invisible sphere in Xia Zhi's hand.
Thanks to the wind-elemental skills he learned from Wendy, Xia Zhi could sense that this [universal battery] was frantically absorbing the wind elemental power in the air, as well as that meager amount of wind-elemental divine power.
This should be what the effect description refers to as "able to absorb any type of energy for charging".
Therefore, even if Xia Zhi does nothing and simply places it in the room like the [Essence Bottle], it will automatically recharge after a period of time.
However, such automatic charging efficiency is a bit too slow.
Xia Zhi raised his hand and cast a Holy Light Judgment on the [Universal Battery] in front of him.
The white light fell upon it and was absorbed silently.
However, its color did not change at all, which means that its battery level did not increase much.
Xia Zhi then cast another [Divine Holy Light Judgment].
The golden light fell upon it, but was still silently absorbed.
The color seems to have changed slightly; it is no longer purely colorless.
Xia Zhi put it into his inventory and checked: [Current battery level: 0.28%].
It's still a long way from 1%.
It seems that the charging efficiency for casting skills on it is also very slow.
Unless he continuously casts spells on it, but he doesn't have the time or inclination for that.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of Funina in Fontainebleau, who had the [Tears of the Goddess] and had to constantly cast skills every night to stack her mana bar.
It's such a waste to cast so many skills at thin air. If she were nearby, she could cast her skills at the [Universal Battery], which would charge it up.
To speed up charging efficiency, we need to focus on the type of energy used.
[If the target is lightning energy, the charging efficiency increases by 100%].
Xia Zhi immediately thought of his cousin, Xia Zhen.
She was the previous Thor, and all she knows are lightning-based abilities.
Xia Zhi had secretly learned from her and mastered all her skills.
He raised his hand again and unleashed a [Lightning Strike] on the universal battery.
A bolt of purple lightning struck the sphere and was silently absorbed into it.
[Current battery level: 0.38%]
Even using a regular lightning skill, it would require casting it hundreds of times consecutively.
Try replacing Xia Zhi with [God's Lightning Strike] and see.
[Current battery level: 0.88%]
While this charging efficiency is indeed much faster, it's not worthwhile because each use requires consuming a bit of divine power.
We need to think of other more convenient and faster methods.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and pondered.
I heard that there used to be terrifying thunderstorms at sea in Inazuma, making it a natural place to recharge, but it seems that it has disappeared along with the lifting of the "Isolation Order".
Can we create a small thunderstorm ourselves...?
In any case, [this item will not be subject to any form of damage or wear]...
Ok?
Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something, opened his inventory, and found the [Elemental Reaction Box] that he had made with True Monarch Liu Yun.
This thing probably generates too much energy; using it just for charging would be a bit wasteful...
Xia Zhi flipped through his inventory again and found a batch of immortal talismans and skill scrolls that he had made a long time ago.
These are all low-level skills.
Back then, Xia Zhi was very weak and wanted to hoard some talismans and scrolls as his trump cards. To this end, he went to the mountain to test the power of multiple scrolls exploding at the same time, which resulted in a minor earthquake in Liyue.
Later, when his strength reached the God rank, these hundreds of low-level talisman scrolls became useless.
However, now that we have a universal battery, it's perfect for charging.
Xia Zhi raised his hand and set up a time-freezing barrier in the room, leaving only a small area in front of him that remained normal.
He placed the [multi-purpose battery] in the normal area, and then put seven talisman scrolls of different elements into it, including the lightning element.
