Chapter 102 Starry Sky
Chapter 102 Starry Sky
Half a month flies by.
The tiger and leopard thunder sounds that sounded around him subsided. Jiang He finished his morning exercise and went out to the small attic. It was a sunny day today.
When I saw Ramanf again, the old man smelled even stronger of alcohol, like old bacon that had been soaked in alcohol every day and could be ignited with a match.
"The finished product is a bit improved, but the basic framework is poor. I don't have any good materials on hand right now, so I'll just give it a try."
In the small attic, the old man sat on an old sofa and drank, pointing at the windbreaker on the blacksmith's table. The blazing fireplace next to him made the room unbearably hot.
[Name: Weidan windbreaker]
[Category: Clothing]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect ①: Intermediate Toughness]
[Effect ②: Increase physical strength recovery speed by 25%]
[Effect ③: Flame Scar, provides 10% fire damage resistance]
[Effect ④: Constant temperature, between 80 degrees above and below zero, keeping the body temperature constant]
[Note: A repaired item from the Fire Demon Alchemist]
Jiang He looked at the new windbreaker. The hole blasted by the Scarlet Baptism had disappeared, and there was not even a trace of repair. It seemed that this was the first time he had seen a rare equipment with four practical effects.
"Price."
Ramanf sneered, "Vulgar, the basic equivalent of transactions between alchemists is the Philosopher's Stone, which is also real hard currency in the Infinite Void. Alchemists in this world don't have secret recipes, so I never charge money. According to the standards of the Infinite Void, you should owe me 3g Philosopher's Stone, but like I said, it doesn't matter whether you owe me or not. I just need some materials to practice."
After the awkward meeting was over, Ramanuf adopted a slightly cold attitude. If the person he was talking to was not the alchemist, he might not be willing to say a word.
Jiang He took out two recipes, one for vitality potion and the other for alchemical piercing bomb.
Ramanov was not interested in this at all. There were hundreds of formulas of this level in his private collection, but at this moment he nodded seriously.
"You have the spirit of equal exchange, which is as valuable as gold to an alchemist."
"I want to ask two questions." Jiang He said.
Ramanf put away the recipe and replied, "Yes, since you have killed more people than the little devil."
"What is the infinite void?"
"In the words of this world, the void is similar to the observable universe, and the boundless represents the part that has not yet been observed. No one knows what is in the boundless, and the future is always unknown."
"The direction of refining the Philosopher's Stone."
"I'm glad you didn't ask about the formula. After extraction, compression and sublimation, 100 ordinary people's souls are equal to 1g of Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone can be converted into any alchemical material. You can imagine the time and energy saved here. As for more specifics, each alchemist master has his own characteristics." Ramanov replied. To him, these were all well-known common sense.
Jiang He was speechless. Using ordinary people's souls as the equivalent, the cruelty of the boundless void was self-evident.
Pickup is complete.
Before leaving, Ramanf said meaningfully: "When you have time, you can look up at the starry sky. The scenery may not be what you imagined."
Jiang He's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly screened the time, events and objects that intersected between him and the other party, and finally locked on Weidan's windbreaker.
This thing is not a secret treasure, but a prop, which came from the LV9 swordsman he killed.
Wuhe shrank his head. It seemed that this old guy was not only good at drinking. He also had the same sharpness as the boss.
"See you later." Jiang He did not comment.
Ramanf waved his hand, took a gulp of liquor, and then exhaled a stream of burning sulfur flames.
……
Return to the second floor residential building.
Wuhe took out various telescopes from his item bag. These were his auxiliary tools, including monocular, binocular, refracting, reflecting, and catadioptric.
"Boss, I know a little bit about astronomy."
"I share my vision with you through the eyes of the beast."
Jiang He held Wuhe and stood in front of the astronomical telescope. After using the Eye of the Beast, his sight followed Wuhe's movement in the starry sky.
"Boss, I saw a few familiar planets, but I didn't see Sirius or AG Carinae." "I don't understand."
"The world beneath our feet is the solar system, but the world outside is not the Milky Way. This is a world that is similar to my hometown, but it is not. Wait... Oh my, I think I saw a corpse as big as a star."
Wuhe shivered a few times, it seemed that he was still not very courageous.
Jiang He also saw the "Star Corpse", which was a humanoid life form that emitted a striking strong light all over its body. The reason why he judged the target to be a corpse was because there was a clear giant sword stuck in its head.
"A world outside of this world?"
"When I was in my hometown, there were definitely no such things in the starry sky." Wuhe looked away and said with certainty, then said uncertainly: "Maybe the origin obscured the real starry sky. For high-level life forms, observing them also means being sensed by them."
Jiang He had no idea what the answer to this question was.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"Alchemy."
"Yeah, it seems like there's nothing we can do."
Wuhe regained his composure and pecked his feathers a few times. As long as the boss was not panicking, he would not panic either.
Jiang He tidied up the counter and continued to make alchemy. He exchanged his military merits for 500 sets of materials, and planned to produce 400 alchemical vitality potions and 100 alchemical penetration bombs. He was going to sell 300 of the potions to Chu Fuqiang, or to be more precise, the Order Bureau behind him.
As the night deepened, bottles of medicine were neatly arranged on the ground, and their number continued to increase.
……
A month later.
The headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force was stationed in Amiens.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion rode their horses through the streets and alleys, loudly announcing the news of victory in the Battle of the Somme. Despite the losses of more than 600,000 people, the British and French armies did make a big step forward on the front line.
Tommy came to the second floor and vaguely heard strange noises coming from inside the room, like dull and depressing thunder. He knocked on the door and went in. The guy inside was still practicing that strange technique.
"I plan to follow the rotation troops back to the mainland. The lieutenant general approved it. He said we should get out of here as soon as possible."
Jiang He opened his eyes and heard the reminder sound of the completion of the main task.
"I'm going to travel."
Tommy almost had a question mark in his head. "Rhine, the Battle of the Somme was just a victory, not the end of the war. I think there is still a lot of fighting to do. Why don't you come back to Birmingham with me? I'll introduce my sister to you. You seem to be about the same age as her."
Jiang He shook his head and looked out the window.
"There's a small package on the wardrobe."
Tommy first looked in the direction the other person was looking, and saw only a clear sky. When he looked back a moment later, Rhine was no longer in the room.
"Elusive."
Tommy was used to this. He walked into the house and came to the closet, where a small package was placed. After opening it, he found fifty alchemical piercing bullets, fifty vitality potions, twenty black gems, and a note.
"Stay away from anything that smells of sulfur, and kill it if you have no other choice."
A group of words that are required are highlighted in red.
Tommy looked solemn. The inspiration from the Wildebeest Rider told him that the warning on this note was very important, as if a strange change was quietly happening.
