Chapter 585: Chapter 583: Entrustnt
Because he could sit out the next task, these past few days were relatively relaxing.
Li Ang focused on studying the newly acquired Alchemy and successfully received System certification, mastering "Alchemy (Beginner)."
At the sa ti, "Necromancy Technique (Beginner)" also upgraded to "Necromancy Technique (Interdiate)" because it t the proficiency standard.
Now he could revive larger inanimate objects, consu less Sanity Value, and they would last longer. He no longer had to anxiously calculate the exact mont his Sanity Value would hit zero.
"Are you there?"
His friends list vibrated.
Li Ang, who was studying an alchemy formation, looked up at the ssage bar.
The person who sent the private ssage was Mule, the Information Broker.
Mule: "I’ve found the information related to Alchemy you asked
to look for."
Li Ang stared at the chat box, silent for a mont.
This... Man, it’s been ages. Talk about late to the party; it’s like you’re congratulating
on getting married after the baby’s already born.
After so thought, Li Ang typed: "Let’s hear it."
Mule: "An independent player received a role-playing quest of extrely high difficulty. He plans to use out-of-ga support items and is looking for several players skilled in ga strategies to help him through it. One of the rewards he’s offering is a Beginner Alchemy Skill Scroll. If you’re interested, I can contact him on your behalf. Ti is tight; a reply within 48 hours would be best."
Li Rising: "Well... I’ve also been busy preparing for a quest recently, so I might not have the ti. How about this: if I’m free by then, I’ll contact you. Even if I can’t participate in the quest directly, please ask whoever ends up with the Alchemy Skill Scroll if they’d be willing to sell it to
and for what price."
Mule: "Okay, but Alchemy Skill Scrolls are extrely rare. Regardless of whether this works out or not, I won’t refund the commission fee you paid . I probably won’t actively search for related information anymore either, just keep an eye out for you casually."
Li Rising: "Alright."
In a certain city, within a dimly lit basent.
A disheveled Mule sat on a chair, hugging his knees, lightly biting his right thumbnail. CLICK. CLICK.
Mule stared blankly at the computer screen, muttering to himself, "What a pity. He actually didn’t accept the commission... From his previous attitude, he seed desperate for an Alchemy scroll. But now he’s so indifferent, he didn’t even ask for the player’s contact information. With his strategizing ability, he must have amassed plenty of powerful equipnt and items by now. He could have easily proposed a barter, trading powerful items for that Alchemy Skill Scroll before the role-playing mission.
Unless... he already has Alchemy. And he doesn’t want , an Information Broker, to know. That’s why he’s vaguely declining..."
Mule sighed deeply, scratched his head, picked up a pen, and crossed the na "Li Rising" off a long list.
"This is so frustrating... I’ve really taken a big loss this ti, getting mixed up in such major trouble. I’ll probably have to assemble a powerful enough strategy team to get through this danger..."
Mule whined, lightly bumping his head against the wooden desk. After a long while, he resignedly lifted his head, pulled himself together, and sent a private ssage to the next person on the list.
"Hey, are you there?"
「————」
With such an obvious refusal, he should guess that I have an Alchemy scroll, right? Li Ang thought nonchalantly. But it doesn’t matter anyway; I’ve already used it. Besides, I’m not really short on money recently, and I don’t seem to have any particular needs for equipnt.
After mastering Beginner Alchemy Skills, Li Ang could, in about one second and without an alchemy formation, create a tal Spear or a tal Shield 1 ter wide, 0.1 ters thick, and 2 ters tall.
If given enough ti to draw an alchemy formation, he could also craft more complex items like bicycles and tricycles.
Of course, motorcycles or electric vehicles were currently beyond his capabilities... Those are truly complex, he mused. Just disassembling the parts and figuring out the tallic composition of each piece would take considerable effort.
As expected, the tal Spears crafted with Alchemy are still too soft; they break after just a few hits in my hands. Since I’ve never gotten any powerful offensive skills from treasure chests, I’m still mostly relying on brute-force basic attacks to cut down enemies...
Li Ang couldn’t help but mock himself. Although it’s quite satisfying and efficient—most monsters can’t withstand a basic attack from soone with 14 points in Agility and Strength, and even incorporeal Spiritual Bodies are easily shattered when I add Ripple and Divine Power enhancents—it’s just not a proper way to fight. Reaching Lv. 15, I really should have so attack-type skills by now...
Miss Chai, who was sitting in front of her computer playing a righteous bandit robbing house to house (to raise funds for fighting the Demon King), turned her head and said nonchalantly, "Why don’t you just shout so impressive-sounding, albeit incomprehensible, lines every ti you do a basic attack? That should do the trick. As long as the damage is brutal enough, even ridiculously cheesy move nas like ’Yin God Divine Wind Kick,’ ’Booger Bullet Barrage,’ or ’Sky-Piercing Urine Stream’ will look like godly techniques to others."
"The last well-known character I can think of who spouted cheesy lines and shouted self-invented move nas during his basic attacks was that red-haired, goateed, muscular villain from so kids’ ani," Li Ang said, looking askance. "He was as strong as Captain Arica but ended up becoming pri
material. Let’s just forget about codic roles, shall we? Hmm... maybe I should check the marketplace or forums? I’ve got plenty of money now, anyway."
"Suit yourself," Miss Chai shrugged, putting on her headphones. "But aren’t things in the marketplace really expensive? You still need to save ten thousand Ga Coin to upgrade the Magic Box after your Alchemy reaches the interdiate level. Why not ask Mule?"
"We’ll discuss it later," Li Ang said, waving his hand. Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
"Oh, the Forging Furnace has produced sothing."
Li Ang turned off his phone alarm and walked into the Alchemy Workshop.
An item lay quietly in the Forging Furnace’s output slot.
