Seizing the BOSS Tem Chapter 10 - 8: Knowledge

Chapter 10: Chapter 8: Knowledge

Walking to the shop, Baiyi felt sothing was off, and when he turned his head, he imdiately saw the reproachful gaze of Miss Elf.

Baiyi ignored Aileen’s gaze and walked towards the right side of the counter, where there was a tal door leading to his research lab, far more advanced than the assembly line area.

"Aileen, if the Quartermaster sends more items, take them to Mr. Or."

After giving a brief instruction, he pushed the door open and entered the passageway.

The right passageway was much shorter than the left, only about five ters before reaching a tal door. After checking the trigger chanism and confirming it was intact, Baiyi took out the key and opened the door.

This room was large, the size of the three workshops combined, covering an area of 400 square ters, and this shop was given to him by the City Lord of Dongwu City when he developed the Energy Barrett.

Of course, the cost was that during that period, Baiyi only helped the City Lord make guns, which greatly enhanced Dongwu City’s combat strength.

But it was worth it, such a large shop in the city center, close to the City Lord, was priceless.

The room was filled with tal equipnt, storing many test tubes and several large boxes, from the gaps of which occasional golden light flickered.

On one of the boxes was a familiar shield emblem for Baiyi, and the cash register actually had a small teleportation device through which money and equipnt could be directly sent to these boxes.

Baiyi checked and found a total of over five thousand gold coins.

In the Dawn Federation, gold coins were very useful because they could be exchanged for Federation Contribution Points, one gold coin equaled one contribution point.

And contribution points could be exchanged for all sorts of Extraordinary knowledge and items.

This was also why there was no shortage of food, but if commoners didn’t work, they would still go hungry.

To the Transcendents, commoners were also a channel to earn wealth.

Taking a badge with a screen from the shelf that was identical to the ones found on the two Assassins, Baiyi glanced at the points amount on it [18589] and transferred the points of the other two badges to his own.

Now Baiyi’s badge had a total of [20534].

Adding the five thousand gold coins and the equipnt just scavenged, he would have around thirty-five thousand.

Enough to buy a set of Silver Alchemy Knowledge and still have so left over, though only enough to buy a minor branch in one of the three major branches, like Energy or Matter Science in Alchemy Technology.

But once the snowball starts rolling, money becos no problem.

Among all professions, Mages are the poorest, followed by Alchemists, but this just ans both are huge money burners.

For example, a Mage’s Magic Scroll, a Golden Level one, starts at a minimum of a hundred thousand gold coins, and it’s priceless, so burning money and making money aren’t actually conflicting.

If these two professions were given a bank card that could display numbers, the balance left after partying would be their sign, and it would only get higher.

After putting away the Dawn Badge, Baiyi took out a bunch of small devices from the hem of his coat, went to an instrunt, and put on a silver tal monocle, gradually focusing his mind.

When an Alchemist advances from Bronze Upper Tier to Silver Lower Tier, a special silver energy forms in their magic power, more special than regular magic power and a mark of being able to inscribe Silver Alchemy Inscriptions.

Whether it’s potions or technology, or even modifications, Alchemy Array Patterns are the limit.

Without this special magic power, you can only build pure technology, and can’t enchant it; without enchantnt, a technological piece of equipnt can be ignored by an Illusion Magic or Ghost-like Illusion Body.

If a Bronze Alchemist wants to create Silver Equipnt, they need to pay a high price, like exchanging for this special silver energy in the Federation.

But that is a price that would make any Bronze Alchemist cringe.

Considering Baiyi’s regard for gold coins... he only had a Random Teleportation Scroll from a Silver Lower Level Mage, which is a life-saving item worth ten thousand gold coins.

Hence, he needed to upgrade all his equipnt, which was crucial.

Baiyi operated the machine, and as soon as the small orb clearing traces in the snow upgraded, a system prompt sounded.

[You’ve upgraded Bronze Level equipnt to Silver Level: gained 500 experience points.]

[You created Silver Level equipnt: Hive, gained 500 allocatable experience points.]

[You upgraded Hive, your Alchemy Technology Proficiency

10, skill points

1]

[You have unlocked the ga appraisal feature upon your first equipnt creation after obtaining boss panel.]

[Appraisal: Can view the attributes of equipnt up to one tier higher than the boss.]

Baiyi set down the chanical device resembling tweezers, a smile once again lighting his face, very reminiscent of a player panel.

With experience points, Baiyi had nothing to worry about.

He thought for a mont, stood up, and took so tal scraps and powder-like materials from a corner shelf before returning and sinking back into focus.

As so alchemy inscriptions were completed, Baiyi quickly constructed a tal sphere in his hand.

As expected, the system’s voice rang again.

[You created Bronze Level item: Fla Bomb, gained 10 experience points.]

[You created Bronze Level item: Fla Bomb, Alchemy Technology Proficiency

1.]

Baiyi waited for a while, not surprised by the lack of further prompts, as with killing, creating lower-level things grants noticeably less experience points.

But this was already quite the significant cheat.

Alchemists improve by constantly acquiring new knowledge and refining their magic power, ultimately forging their magic into sothing more advanced.

This honing process is difficult; so Bronze Alchemists have knowledge surpassing that of Golden Alchemists, yet still can’t transform their inner magic power, which is commonly referred to as a talent issue.

For knowledge-based professions, 99% effort is necessary, but that 1% talent is crucial.

So the ensured increase in experience points is the most important for Alchemists, as it removes Baiyi’s developnt bottleneck.

With enough experience points, advancent and even tier progression is possible.

Thinking this, Baiyi focused on the skill points, a realization dawning on him.

Baiyi looked at the skill section on his personal panel, [Interdiate Alchemy Technology (2375/5000) (Expand)].

He focused on the word "Expand."

With a swipe, the panel entered a new Chapter, leaving only two options.

[Energy] (Expand)

[Matter] (Expand)

After considering briefly, Baiyi decided to expand the Energy section.

Swiping again, the options multiplied densely.

[Liquid Bomb---350/500]

[Small Energy Core---98/500]

[Electric Energy Conversion---11/500]

[Solar Energy Collection Core---30/500]

[High Explosive Energy---500/500]

[Timing....]
