Chapter 55: The alchemy genius
Hua Mi unfolded his folding knife and saw that the blade was shining silver and very sharp.
He made a few random strokes in the air.
Had no effect.
It seems that carving out space is just overthinking.
Hua Mi touched the table with the tip of the knife again, but it left no mark. Instead, the tip of the knife seemed to melt and shrink into a flat shape.
But after breaking away from the desktop, it immediately returned to its original appearance.
Hua Mi tried to put the tip of the knife against her palm and slowly applied force.
Starting from the tip of the knife, it retracts little by little and gradually becomes a flat irregular shape.
After breaking away, it immediately returns to its original state.
"It can be used to perform magic..."
Hua Mi poked around with the folding knife. When the tip of the knife hit the keyhole of the drawer, the blade "melted" and was inserted along the keyhole.
"Eh?"
Hua Mi twisted slightly.
Click, the lock opens.
Pulling out the folding knife, the blade instantly returned to its original form.
I tried other keyholes and they all opened easily.
I seem to know its purpose...
a thief's artifact.
Hua Mi put the silver pocket knife into the ring.
Of course, as an honest businessman, he would not normally use such a thing.
But in special circumstances, such as when you need to open a treasure chest or open a door to enter the next adventure area like in the game, this pocket knife can come in handy.
After counting the things, Hua Mi went to bed to rest.
Under the influence of Moon Sleeping Flower Honey, you can sleep until you wake up naturally.
...
Blackstone Town in the early morning is the quietest time of the day.
Soon the street will become as noisy as a wet market.
Bang -
a muffled sound.
It came from an inconspicuous spire house next to the street.
After the muffled sound, a plume of black smoke drifted from the basement window of the house.
Thick smoke drifted into the streets, emitting a pungent smell.
Pedestrians passing by covered their mouths and noses.
"This is Jason's house, what on earth is going on?" "
I heard that his niece is learning alchemy and has made the house a mess." "
There is no good thing about a wild alchemist, and he will definitely go astray." "
She has always been She's restless, likes to take risks, and has a lot of bad habits." "
Maybe we should report to the city hall and kick her out - before she poisons the whole town."
At this time, the basement door banged. There was a sound of being pushed open, and a slender figure ran out from inside, with a black face and messy hair.
She walked down the stairs to the ground and breathed in the fresh air.
Pedestrians quickened their pace and walked around, as if they were avoiding patients infected with the plague.
Bang——
The main door of the house was also pushed open violently.
A man with a big belly and a mustache walked out angrily, his face flushed: "Hilya, I've had enough! Do you have to blow up this house before you stop?" "Calm down,
Jason." Xi Erya glanced at him and said, "I have paid rent, and it is far above the market price."
The man said angrily: "This is my home, I am your uncle, I will not allow you to do these things anymore! Stop it from now on. You're going to do some crazy experiment, or I swear I'll throw that crucible of yours out!" "
That thing is very heavy, be careful not to reach your waist."
A rough voice interjected.
Cole, the lycanthrope, stood in front of Jason and cracked his knuckles.
Jason subconsciously took a step back, with fear in his eyes.
He despised and feared Hilya's partner. Lycanthropy is a very vicious curse, and it is contagious. No one wants to have a conflict with a lycanthrope.
"Mr. Johnson, we have signed an agreement." Carter walked forward politely, smiling, "The most important thing in life is to be honest, isn't it?" "I..." Before Jason could say
anything
, He said, and Carter held his hand unilaterally.
"I hope we can live in harmony in the future. We can discuss everything. There is no need to have conflicts, are you right?"
A gold coin passed into his hand covertly.
Jason's eyes lit up, he quietly retracted his hand, put the gold coins in his pocket, cleared his throat and said: "You should also be careful not to make too much noise, so as not to disturb the neighbors." With that, Jason turned
back house, my steps became much more brisk.
"It doesn't look like it's going well." Carter handed Hilya a handkerchief.
Hilya took it and wiped her face, and said calmly: "Actually, the Feiyan potion has been made, and I am trying to make another more advanced potion."
Carter looked a little surprised when he heard this.
After the black smoke had mostly dispersed, the three of them walked into the basement.
There was still a pungent smell in the room, which was unbearable for Cole, who had a keen sense of smell, so he just stood at the door and did not come in.
In the dark basement, there was the semi-automatic alchemy cauldron in the middle.
Various materials were piled around.
"Hilya, you look like a hag in the swamp now."
Hilya ignored Cole's teasing and picked up a small bottle of light green potion from the shelf nearby, with a label on it: Feiyan.
Carter took it and looked at it, then pulled out the plug and smelled it: "The appearance and taste are similar, I don't know how the actual effect is."
Hilya said: "There is no problem. I tried it last night. The effect is very good, no worse than the low-level Feiyan potion on the market, and can even reach the intermediate level."
"Are you testing the potion on yourself?" Carter looked at her in shock, "You might die if you do this!"
"Calm down. "Sylya said, "First of all, I'm fine. Secondly, this is the only way to verify. I can't do anything like testing medicine on others." "You can let
Cole try it!"
"Fuck you, Carter!"
"I mean, your physique is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if something goes wrong, you can still handle it." "
You make sense, but go to hell!"
Carter coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment and changed the subject. Said: "You can develop an intermediate Feiyan potion by yourself in such a short time without a formula. It seems that you really have alchemy talent. Maybe it is right to switch to this path."
In fact, he still spoke a little restrained.
This talent is nothing short of genius.
"It's just a bottle of Feiyan potion, it doesn't count. But it did give me a lot of encouragement." Hilya's voice also became lighter.
"From now on, it will be up to me and Carter to find the materials. You can concentrate on studying alchemy." Cole said, patting his chest, "Ha, there is an alchemist in the team. We can go sideways from now on, a five-star adventure." You can break into any place."
"To be precise, it's the magic potion branch of alchemy."
Hilya's eyes fell on the alchemy cauldron: "This alchemy cauldron can help me a lot in the early stage, but I can't rely on it all the time. It. And to be honest, I'm still far from it. When it comes to the perfect alchemy potion, this is it."
Hilya took out the bottle of Moon Sleeping Flower honey with only about a quarter left.
"The alchemy potions currently on the market, no matter how optimized they are, will always have side effects, and often the more powerful the effect, the more obvious the side effects. Some side effects are so severe that another potion has to be used to neutralize the properties, but this It will accelerate the accumulation of toxins.
“Toxins accumulated in the body will sooner or later cause irreparable damage to the body. As for the potion given by the alchemist in the Black Forest, although its effect is not very powerful, it actually contains zero toxins. This is a qualitative improvement.
"The more you understand alchemy, the more you realize how difficult it is. So far, no alchemist can achieve this level, not even those academics. Only he did it, he is a true genius, alchemy The guiding light of the world!"
Hilya's eyes sparkled.
This was the first time for Carter and Cole to see her so enthusiastic.
Okay.
It's becoming more and more in line with people's stereotype of the wild alchemist.
...
The next day, Hua Mi came to another world.
Immediately I felt that the air temperature seemed to be a little lower.
When I opened the window and looked outside, I was blinded by the blinding whiteness.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the trees were also covered in plain clothes.
"It's snowing."
