“You are all very talented, this batch of Blazing Gum and Burning Oil is quite well made, and most importantly the timing of completion was perfect, and didn’t keep your expectant companions waiting too long.”
As night fell that day, Tris, who had finally had enough of poking around, remembered that she had a group of apprentice workers waiting for her in her alchemy hut.
So she brought her newly formed matriarchal guards to put on the appearance of a matriarch on patrol, and under the escort of Bonnie and several elite guards, she arrived in her alchemy hut, which was located in the ruins of the outer city, in a grand manner.
She examined the items crafted by the 10 aspiring apprentices selected by the lead Dove to walk the path of the alchemist, and the buckets of clear oil of combustion and chunks of blazing gelatin that crystallized like tofu pleased Tris immensely.
She had long known that these Otherworldly Essence Spirits had very strong learning and hands-on abilities, and what she had seen today had deepened that impression.
Although these two items weren’t particularly complicated alchemy products, for an apprentice alchemist who was just starting out, it would take a while of practice to configure them to be this outstanding.
The fact that the players had done such a good job just getting started was really beyond her expectations.
Having received the high praise from Lady Tris, the young players were all overjoyed, and they all expressed their sincere gratitude to Miss Lumina in the private chat again.
The reason why they were able to do so well was because Lumina had been teaching them how to control the dosage of this fusion and use a more effective way of multiple filtration, and even taught them a little bit of simple crystallization filtering techniques.
As for why Lumina knew all this .
Do you really think that people’s graduate students spend their days shooting guns and playing games?
These are all base drills in the lab, okay? That mysterious Cement Sister was determined to get Lumina to work under her as a graduate student, and not just because of their friendship.
“Huh, this blazing glue is especially well made! I haven’t seen such a perfect finish in years.”
Tris inspected them one by one, and immediately noticed the astonishingly good quality of those finished crystals that Lumina had made!
Her eyes lit up, and after picking up a piece of Blazing Gel and placing it under her nostrils to sniff it, and then examining it carefully with the skill of a master alchemist, she couldn’t help but marvel:
“This is already more useful than the finished product made by some mediocre alchemists with two and a half years of practice! My warrior Lumi, I really underestimated you! It seems that your talent in the way of alchemy is no less than your archery and sensitivity to music.”
“Too bad there’s no centrifuge or polymer filter.”
Lumina wouldn’t be too satisfied with this, the experimenter’s mental upper hand made her quite critical of the finished product she made, she felt that the quality of this thing could be improved again.
Her little mumble was heard by Tris, and the scarlet witch rolled her eyes and asked in a whisper:
“Centrifuges and polymer filters are these the alchemy tools you have over there? What are they useful for?”
“Uh, the former.”
Lumina was really going to explain it to Mrs. Tris, but it took a hard cough from the lead Dove next to her to bring her to her senses.
Was she planning on giving an AI a science lesson on what it meant to have lab tools?
Ah, Lumina also realized she was getting too into it.
It couldn’t be helped that the NPCs in this damn game were all too human-like, and the curiosity on Tris’s face made her feel as if she was actually talking to an otherworldly person about it.
“It seems that this is a unique technique for the alchemists on your side, I understand, I shouldn’t be so abrupt.”
Cunningly, Tris winked and didn’t really care.
Like a seasoned hunter she knew the importance of finding the right moment, anyway, just with the small players’ mouthy personalities, there were plenty of ways for her to be able to get some useful gadgets out of these guys, and right now, since the small players had already accomplished their tasks as apprentices, Tris should also give rewards.
Playing with the luxurious serenade scepter in her hand, she coughed and asked:
“I have seen and recognized your gifts and talents, and perhaps this handful of my alchemy can finally be formally inherited as well, but the teaching and learning of knowledge has always run both ways, and as such, I will have to ask for your opinions as well.
Warriors, are you willing to follow me in learning the mysteries of alchemy and putting your wisdom to use in the quest for truth on the right path?”
“Ding ding ding ding ding.”
Crisp and pleasant beeps bounced up on the little players’ character interfaces.
This was a signal that the profession of “Alchemist Apprentice” could be transferred, and nine of the ten young players accepted Tris’s solicitation without any hesitation, while Good Dove, who was already an apprentice, reached out her hand and received three thin scrolls of knowledge from Tris’s hand.
[Elementary Alchemy Recipe – Oil of Midnight Swiftness], [Elementary Alchemy Recipe – Scarlet Healing Salve], [Elementary Alchemy Recipe – Improved Moondust Explosive] have been acquired.
Tip!
This recipe is exclusive to Master Alchemist – Midnight Learning Specialization and has been improved by Madame Tris, and may not be distributed without Madame Tris’ permission!
The prompt that immediately followed made Good Dove blink his eyes, it seemed that the inheritance of various knowledge on this continent was still stuck between masters and disciples, and there was absolutely no extensive and practical knowledge interoperability system established.
This made Good Pigeon, who was a college student of a prestigious university, scoff in his heart and feel somewhat unimpressed.
No wonder even with this kind of unscientific stuff like psychic energy, the standard of civilization here is still so low, how can you get good at academics with this kind of trivial approach? And although I can’t share this knowledge in the game, I should have no problem putting it on the forum for everyone to savor, right?
He thought so, and then heard Lady Tris command:
“Since you are now my apprentices, you must act according to the rules between alchemists.
I have stored several methods of making elementary potions in my hut, you must produce the finished product after one day and night, and I will use this to judge your expertise in the field of alchemy, and use this to order different learning programs for you.
Begin now.
Make five copies of each potion per person.”
With a command from Lord Tris, the manufacturing tasks were issued to keep the players busy at once, while Tris was calculating on the side, the ten players making these potions were already enough to run her hut for a while, and all she needed to give was a verbal approval and casually taking the time to teach them a few of the alchemy recipes.
Wasn’t this rounding up equivalent to wasting money with one’s own empty hands?
He was really smart!
However, the smug Tris would not have realized the players’ horrifying demand for potions and consumables, they wouldn’t be as meticulous as the real warriors in this world, and if they were in a position to do so, even if they were to cut down the lowest level of Despair Derivatives, they would still have to coat their weapons with the best alchemy ointments to make it work!
How else could it reflect the players’ panache and pursuit of efficiency?
“My warrior Lumi, you follow me.”
Tris whispered in Lumina’s ear with an onomatopoeic technique, and Lumina, who was flipping through the recipes for the Primary Anti-Poison Potion, froze for a moment, then looked around and quietly exited the room.
Tris was already waiting for her outside the house.
“Those two tools you just mentioned, what exactly are their principles and effects?”
Tris asked in a low voice:
“Please understand my irrepressible curiosity as an alchemist in this regard.”
“Ah this.”
Lumina blinked, thinking that this intelligent playing NPC is quite interesting, don’t you really want to know just look it up on the internet?
Hey, this ghost game is really the ultimate in game immersion for the player ah.
She didn’t care, and then told Tris how the centrifuge worked, and even picked up her notebook and drew her an abbreviated sketch.
Think of it as brushing up on goodwill.
Anyway, she had already started the “Cavendina’s Warriors” series of quest lines, and there was no way she would give up the personal reputation of Mrs. Tris.
But right after Lumina finished her explanation, a hidden quest was triggered quietly.
Special Hidden Quest – Otherworldly Knowledge (1/5) has been triggered!
Quest Description: As a Master Alchemist and Master Psychic, Lady Tris is exceptionally curious about otherworldly knowledge, and she longs to see more otherworldly wisdom as a small addition to her own career in the pursuit of truth.
Psychic Masters know how valuable knowledge is, so Lady Tris is willing to pay more for that knowledge.
Quest Goal: Bring back more otherworldly knowledge for Lady Tris, the exact value of which is up to her judgment.
Quest Reward: A number of keys to the Archduke of the Blood Vulture’s treasury.
Tip!
Quest rewards are given by Lady Tris according to the value of the otherworldly knowledge gained, with a lower limit of 1. Hints!
This quest is the only hidden quest and cannot be shared, revealing information about this quest at will will result in Mrs. Tris’s favorable impression of you being greatly diminished.
Tip!
This quest is a continuous quest chain, and the next link can be triggered after completing it five times repeatedly.
Dev Team Tip!
This mission is one of the development team’s attempts to enhance the player’s sense of immersion and immersion, if testers are fortunate enough to trigger the mission, they can search for professional information on the Internet to complete the mission, and after completing the mission, please submit a mission report and suggestions for improvement in the forum feedback area.
If positive feedback is received, this type of quest will be added to the manufacturing-related features in the form of ‘eggs’.
“!!!”
Lumina looked at the quest and instantly fell into deep thought.
She now doubted that she had brushed Lady Trish’s personal reputation to some critical point in order to activate such a personal quest.
But how does the content of this quest look immodest, what does it mean to have valuable otherworldly knowledge?
How exactly should this value be judged?
As a graduate student with superior intelligence, Lumina quickly came up with an idea, as an “old role-playing” player, she hesitated for a moment and whispered to Mrs. Tris, who was studying the centrifuge drawings:
“Tris-sama, as you said, I myself can actually be considered a member of the ‘alchemist’ profession in the other world, but we don’t call it that on our side. What I want to know is, is there any learning like the periodic table of elements or something like that on your side?
That is, what about the common sense of arranging and combining the various unique elements that make up the entire world according to their different internal characteristics, forming the basis for building alchemy knowledge?”
“There is!”
Tris looked up and explained:
“We have the ‘Alchemy Sage Tablet’, which is a table of the twenty-eight elements that make up everything combined according to their sensitivity to psychic energy, originally compiled by the Sun Priests of the Songhai Empire.
Any official alchemist must memorize the various complex mapping and reaction relationships on the tablet.
It can be said that the combination of these twenty-eight elements forms the basis of current alchemy, and countless people have wanted to try to improve it, but none have been able to succeed.”
“Impossible!”
Lumina immediately shook her head and said:
“How can there be only twenty-eight microscopic substances that make up a world? This is obviously because those Sun Priests are still very primitive in their means of observation of all things, but of course, perhaps the two of us aren’t talking about the same thing.
But if you need it, I can bring back the periodic table of elements from our side for you.”
“Oh, the alchemists of your world’s dismantling and judgment of the truth of all things?”
Tris was instantly interested.
This was exactly what she wanted, but knowing that she couldn’t show too much joy at this time, she nodded her head with the reserve an NPC should have, as Little Murphy had instructed her to do, and said:
“If it is possible, you bring it back to be examined by me. If it is confirmed to be valuable knowledge, then I will not begrudge you a reward.
You must remember, Lumina, my warrior, as an alchemist you can never ignore your curiosity about the truth of all things, the day you lose that curiosity is the day your career as an alchemist ends!”
These words caused Lumina to show a rather subtle expression, as her mentor would often say similar things to her.
As a researcher one must always maintain sensitivity and curiosity towards scientific advancement, once one loses that curiosity and gets energized by other vulgar things .
Then one would only be reduced to third-rate.

“Not bad, this four-hundred-year-old female fox still knows how to cover up a bit, not too stupid to be hopelessly stupid.”
Under the night, above a certain hidden tower in the ruins of Cadman City, Murphy stood at the edge of the tower holding the Core Treasure Pearl in his hand checking out that hidden quest that Tris had just released to Lumina.
Tris was really serious about following him to learn the skills of posting quests, and now she even knew to take the initiative to add “hints”.
However, that last “development team tip” was added by Murphy for her, as a way to deepen the player’s stereotypical impression of “Otherworld is a good game”, which is easy to understand, while emphasizing the sense of immersion and sense of immersion, occasionally give them a “development team tip”, which is easy to understand. While emphasizing the sense of immersion and immersiveness, giving them an occasional “hint from the development team” can effectively deepen the contrast between the “real and virtual” sides, and subconsciously tell them that this is really just a “virtual game” that is too real.
This is necessary!
Murphy is well aware of this point, he can not yet cause the “opposite side” of the alarm.
“Actually, I probably don’t have to be so nervous.”
Murphy thought as he rubbed his chin in the night:
“As long as this game still has the ‘necessary elements’ of logging in and out, the player interface and system updates, then in the minds of the young players, they will surely think that this is just a game that is too real.
Maybe in the future some sensitive guy will find out the truth!
Alas, let’s talk about it then, and if not, just kick them out then.”
He thought to himself, putting the issue behind him and gazing down at the ruins of the city below from this elevated position.
This place probably couldn’t be called “ruins”.
Under the effective work of the collectors and cleaners organized by the survivors’ camp, the entire outer city had been quickly cleared, the land leveled, the houses damaged beyond repair torn down, and the survivors repaired, and a large number of wooden buildings had already been erected at the edge of the city.
Murphy’s plan for the city is to let his people have a place to stay before winter arrives, so that they won’t be starved to death and freeze to death, now there are still three months before winter arrives, according to the current progress should be able to complete.
If he could get more manpower, the construction speed would only be faster.
And there was more good news! The vampire lord opened his territory interface, and under the main stronghold of the ruins of the outer city, there were already seven more villages and the small border town of Batasin as territorial vassals.
And adding up to over three thousand manpower fed him 30 pending player slots.
And that was fine, comfortable, and great!
Murphy could have another 30 players in the game tomorrow if he wanted to, but he couldn’t just let people in at this early stage.
There has to be a reason for it at the very least.
What exactly should be the reason for opening up the next batch of beta spots?
It can’t be another online update, can it?
The little players will have a problem with the frequent updates, and in that respect, the cute little guys are a pain in the ass to deal with. I’m not sure what to say, but I’m not sure what to say.
“This vampire guy, is this the legendary ‘Scarlet Fortress’? Why do I only see a ruin?”
A cool voice suddenly sounded behind Murphy, giving the vampire lord a creepy shock. When he turned around, he saw a blonde lady with a white felt hat wearing a red and white court dress, standing behind him in a civilized manner and looking at him.
The latter’s eyes, which were gray-blue dotted with scarlet, and the thorn crest that dotted its chest sent shivers down his spine.
Afterwards, Murphy noticed the bloodstone seal ring on the latter’s finger, which was identical to the seal ring of the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture, which made him immediately recognize the identity of the tall, thin and beautiful lady with a unique and gentle temperament, and with a double braid of hair that was exactly the same as that of “Gammy”.
“Hail to thee, Archduke Thorn!”
Murphy said with reverence, bending down in place:
“You have graced the entire Scarlet Fortress with your presence, please follow me, our Blood Vulture Archduke is already waiting for you.”
“There is no hurry.”
Archduke Thorn waved his hand and said in a gentle tone:
“Before meeting with the Blood Vulture Grand Duke, I still have some personal matters to talk to His Excellency Count Cadman about, about that ambitious little fool under my command he is a little bit stupid also very weak, empty of ambition but few means to realize his ambition, in my opinion it is a rotten piece of wood.
In my opinion, he is a piece of rotten wood.
But he is my heir after all, and to be caged means the face of Clan Thorn is trampled underfoot as well, so I’m looking for a bold madman named ‘Murphy’.”
The Thorn Archduchess looked Murphy up and down as she revealed an impeccably beautiful smile, and in a tongue-flicking tone, she said softly:
“Can you please take me to the guy who humiliated me? Little Murphy.”
