Chapter 66: Alchemy
Chapter 66: Alchemy
Morning time.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and raindrops were falling obliquely. Soon the whole campsite became muddy.
Jiang He carried a large package to the Lemon family's private bunker and exchanged all the military merits he had obtained in Leden City.
Walking into the private bunker, the squeaking sounds of rats in groups were particularly clear, a few bats were hanging upside down on the wooden beams, there were spider webs in the corners, and the table was piled with newspapers delivered by the signalman every day.
Jiang He put down the package, took out the Lionheart Helmet and stuffed it into the equipment bar. The appearance of this prop was golden, and the surface was engraved with gilded patterns. Only the eyes and the mouth were "cracked", and the rest of the items were integrated.
[Name: Lionheart Helmet (1/6)]
[Category: Set]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Spirit value +1]
[Effect ②: Intermediate Solidity]
[Note: One sixth of the Lionheart King suit. Gather three pieces to unlock suit effect ①, and gather six pieces to unlock suit effect ②]
[Spirit: 7→7+1] (Top Hunter)
After putting on the helmet, Jiang He took out a ring and put it on. The Ring of Free Bird came from the Rhino Knight he had fought before.
[Name: Free Bird Ring]
[Category: Accessories]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Mental immunity judgment +1]
[Effect ②: Increase mental abnormality resistance by 20%]
[Note: Some birds cannot be caged!]
Two key pieces of equipment have been put on.
Jiang He pulled out a chair and sat down, taking out a bottle of amber whiskey from his item bag. When they captured Position 144 a while ago, Tommy's brother seized the treasury of the previous Blood Bat Knight. According to the two, a few bottles of whiskey were top-quality goods that were worth a fortune.
"Can I have a taste too?"
The trumpeter crow flapped its wings and landed, holding a spider the size of a bottle cap in its beak.
Wuhe was a little curious about the taste of the wine.
"That's one half."
Jiang He looked around and found that the plates, cups and other things had long been taken away by the orderly. However, there were still a few iron boxes of individual rations in the pile of miscellaneous items. After a simple cleaning, he poured half of the wine into each of the two iron boxes, and then drank his share in one gulp.
Wuhe lowered his head and pecked twice, feeling that the taste was not very obvious. The senses and vision of every legion member were synchronized with his legion commander, but the sense of taste of birds was not as rich as that of humans.
"By the way, why did you want to drink?"
Jiang He leaned on the table, carefully judging his current state, and said tipsily, "The Free Bird Ring's mental abnormality resistance includes drunkenness. The overall effect is excellent, but the mental immunity judgment is still unclear."
Wuhe understood and replied, "The Qingshiliao, the advisory agency of the Order Bureau headquarters in Bianjing, has conducted in-depth research on this concept. For example, the famous "Theory of Personality" can be browsed on the player dark web. The general idea is that there is a judgment between abilities, which is mainly based on the life level and power level of the initiator."
"For example, if an ordinary new player is lucky enough to obtain a skill with a sure-kill effect, he can definitely kill other new players of the same level, but it will be useless against gods, demons, and monsters because there is a gap in status. The so-called absolute ability does not actually exist."
"For example, in the world of ancient dynasties, curses and witchcraft have little effect on important officials in the court. Although these officials may not have any special powers, they have high status. In a mysterious way, they are the guardians of the country's destiny."
"As for your mental immunity judgment +1, it has improved your character to a certain extent, which is much better than the common abnormal resistance."
Jiang He thought for a while and said, "So when Si Ning used the Abyss Logic Disease on me, her status should have been higher than mine." Wu He nodded, "At least on par with me. Otherwise, if her status is lower than yours, the effect will be greatly reduced or even ineffective. In addition, with that guy's personality, if he could do it, Great Britain might have been in chaos."
Jiang He rubbed his forehead lightly. He drank a little too fast just now and felt a little dizzy. He took out two recipes from the package, each of which was worth 100 D-level military merits.
[Name: Alchemical Piercing Bomb]
[Type: Consumables]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Increase piercing damage by 10%]
[Remarks: None]
……
[Name: Vitality Potion]
[Type: Consumables]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Repair internal and external damage]
[Note: The specific effect is 30% of the small healing potion]
Jiang He carefully observed the results of the two alchemy projects. Since the bullets and potions were of ordinary quality, the scale and difficulty were much simpler than the knight promotion ceremony, and only four materials were needed.
Alchemical piercing bomb.
Material composition: ① The bullet in the body symbolizes "hit". ② The building debris symbolizes "penetrating damage". ③ The brass symbolizes "bullet". ④ The bone spur powder symbolizes "penetration and gunpowder".
General conditions: Fire.
Jiang He placed the materials on the table. First was the bullet taken out from the wounded soldier in the field hospital, followed by a wooden board pierced by a bullet, then a piece of brass ore, and finally the bone spur powder from the Hedgehog Knight.
Among the four materials, only the hedgehog bone thorn can be barely considered an extraordinary item, worthy of exchanging for an entire D-level military merit. The other three together only add up to one, which can be collected by any private soldier.
Wuhe sighed, "It's a terrible profit. If the selling price is 100%, the cost is less than %. If you look at it more strictly, the bullet, the wood and the brass ore in the body, these common things actually exchanged for the life of a Prussian. Is the formula really worth D-level military merits?"
Jiang He nodded and replied, "What is really expensive is the formula recorded on the recipe. From deduction to trial and error, the error is at the level of grams. Ancient knowledge was relatively closed, and the results were not easy to come by. In fact, it is not too difficult to see the relationship between the material and the symbolic essence, but according to the description of the recipe, it has already gone beyond the scope of a miscellaneous apprentice."
Wuhe was suspicious, "I didn't notice it when you were promoted to a knight."
"Sooner or later."
"Ok."
Jiang He lit a pot of charcoal fire, and used an iron box and a spoon as alchemical tools. The wooden board pierced by the bullet was crushed into powder by the spear. Everything was normal when it was mixed with the bone spur powder. However, when it was combined with the "bullet in the body" and brass, and burned by the flames, the whole thing underwent subtle changes.
"Fire" is of vital importance in alchemy. In the process of human beings breaking away from primitiveness, "fire" plays a key role, symbolizing civilization and creation, not just burning.
In the private bunker, the bullets were wrapped in flames and their shapes became smoother. Jiang He's technique of handling materials was a little unfamiliar, but with his control at the Ming Jin level and the coordination of his hands, feet, shoulders, and neck, he did not fail.
Three minutes later, an alchemical piercing bomb was completed.
Jiang He put it into another iron box. The Lionheart Helmet and two recipes cost him 1200 D-level military merits. With the remaining 160 D-level military merits, he exchanged a total of 40 bullets and potion materials.
