At noon on this day, the weather was warm and even a little hot, and Chris clearly felt that he was a "scholar" who had completely digested it, although there were no special sounds and sights, but he clearly felt it.

Chris obeyed the teacher's instructions, took out the "greedy pocket watch", and wrote on a blank piece of paper:

I have completely digested the "scholar" potion.

Then using the pendulum method, he picked up the silver chain of the pocket watch and hung it above the white paper for divination, and after a minute, Chris found that the pocket watch was quietly stopped in the center, without a little swing, which means that the answer to divination is "yes".

"So how do I know if it's a 'yes' as a result of divination, or if this pocket watch doesn't have a bird at all?"

Chris was a little speechless, then crossed out the line on the white paper and wrote again below:

I didn't digest the full "scholar" potion.

Then he picked up the "greedy money" again and began to use the pendulum method, only to see that after a few seconds, the pocket watch began to rotate sharply, and finally stayed quietly on the horizontal line.

This means that the answer to divination is "no", and that he has indeed completely digested the potion of the "scholar".

Chris suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit of a sand sculpture......

"It's only the first time I've used the spirit pendulum method for divination, and it's normal to be inexperienced, but fortunately, the spirit pendulum method doesn't need to feed it gold pounds, otherwise it will be a big loss. ”

Chris gave himself a reason, simply put the table away, took the paper to the kitchen and burned it, and started to cook today's lunch.

Bert was still studying ritual magic in his bedroom, while Bonnie perused her pile of medical books in her study, with a pile of cheap herbs next to her desk.

These days she's starting to concoct some antidotes, though so far without success.

During the meal, Chris shares with Bert and Bonnie the news that he has finished digesting the Scholar's potion.

"Great. Bonnie laughed, "Once we've gathered all the extraordinary materials for the next sequence, Chris, you can become a Sequence 8 Extraordinary." ”

"That's right, we're going to sell the few things we have in the bank this weekend. Bert spoke, looking at Chris, who opened his mouth to refuse, and then said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, those few things are not placed there, and they are only enough for an extraordinary material of Sequence 8." ”

Bert looked at Chris's brown eyes and said with a serious expression:

"And only if you hurry into Sequence 8, not only will our strength go further, but you will have the ability to fight for and find two copies of Sequence 8's potion recipes and extraordinary materials for me and Bonnie, otherwise, relying on the three of us Sequence 9, if we want to find all three Sequence 8 extraordinary materials, I'm afraid it will be far away. ”

"Well, Bert is right, it's a big deal that we can save money during this time, and once I can make an effective potion, I can earn some living expenses. ”

Chris wanted to refuse, after all, the three of them only had a few gold coins left in their savings, but Bert made sense, and now it was a dead end.

The three of them are no longer extraordinary novices who don't know anything, and the potion recipe for Sequence 8 costs about 450 to 500 gold pounds, and a Sequence 8 main and auxiliary materials cost about 600 to 650 gold pounds in total. The few antique treasures that Bert kept in the bank could sell for about 500 to 600 gold pounds.

If that money were used to fund his promotion to Sequence 8, he would be able to raise a large amount of money for the two of them in potion recipes and extraordinary materials faster, which would be four times the amount of money available!

If he chooses not to use this fund, then it will undoubtedly be more difficult to raise all of them with only three Sequence 9, which is more difficult than a huge amount of money.

So what they have to do now is like a gamble, betting that Chris will be able to find a way to make money quickly as soon as possible after being promoted to Sequence 8 "Arcanist".

Looking at Bert and Bonnie's determined eyes, Chris finally made up his mind and nodded with difficulty.

After all, if one is not good, the three of them can live on the streets, and their weekly rent is ridiculously expensive, one gold pound a week.

On the morning of this weekend, the trio began to go to the bank in the South District, preparing to sell all their remaining assets to the bank.

Because the three of them are now extraordinary, they don't go to church on Sundays, after all, they all know that there are many official extraordinaries there, and if they go to worship now, it will undoubtedly be like visiting a cat and a mouse.

As predicted, the antiques and treasures that Bert had brought from home sold for a total of 580 gold pounds, and thanks to the bank's fairness, Bert exchanged the cash for a large ten-pound bill and gave it all to Chris.

And in the following month, the food level of the three began to plummet.

Chris ......

That evening, Chris was baking bread in the kitchen when Bonnie's voice of surprise came from the study:

"I succeeded! I succeeded!"

Bert, who heard the voice, came out of the bedroom, still holding the vanilla essential oil needed for ritual magic, and Chris also turned off the oven and went to the study on the second floor.

The door to the study was not closed, and as soon as Chris entered, he saw Bert and Bonnie surrounding the desk, which had a burning alcohol lamp and glass beakers, and in the glass cover next to it were six guinea pigs that Chris had bought from a pet store on the street, and Bonnie was holding a test tube with a blue solution in her hand.

"Did you make your potion?" asked Chris.

"Uh-huh. Bonnie nodded excitedly, and pointed to the little guinea pig marked by colored pencils in the glass cover:

"I set up the experimental group and the control group as you said, and then fed different doses of toad toxin separately, and after a few minutes they had different degrees of convulsive reactions. After I fed them the antidote I had developed, they returned to normal in a different amount of time! Only the little guinea pig that had taken the largest dose of Toad Venom died. ”

Chris went to the glass cover to observe the life reactions of the six test subjects, unlike the previous days, all the troops were wiped out, today one did die, and the others recovered, indicating that the antidote concocted by Bonnie today is effective.

"I don't know if the detoxification effect is the most ideal, but it does show that it is effective. Bonnie, you did it!"

Chris excitedly admired that although it took a lot of time and effort to develop a new antidote from scratch, it also showed that the "pharmacist" did have a high talent for mixing potions.

Immediately, Chris took out the "greedy pocket watch" in his arms, and made a spiritual swing to the blue potion in Bonnie's hand, and at the same time said in his mouth:

This bottle has the power of detoxification!

This bottle has the power of detoxification!

......

After a few seconds, I saw the watch start to rotate slightly, which indicated that the result of the divination was "yes", but there were some bad side effects.

Bonnie was obviously relieved to see the divination results, knowing that the previous few times had a large rotation, and there was no detoxification effect at all.

"That way, we can sell this medicine in the community hospital, but what do we say?" Bonnie was first excited, feeling that she could finally eat the snacks and pastries that she had missed for a long time, and then she thought that her identity as an extraordinary person could not be revealed, and how to explain the origin was a problem.

Bert stroked his chin, which was already a little golden fluff, and thought for a moment and said:

"This is really a problem, and we certainly can't reveal the identity of the extraordinary...... Why don't we say that this is the secret inheritance left by our father to our brother and sister, and we used it for experiments because of the compulsion of life, and this is the reason?"

Chris nodded, "Let's just say that your father got the secret recipe by accident, and I don't know if it's true or not." You just experimented a few times with a fluke mentality, but I didn't expect it to really have a detoxification effect...... We can also appoint an intermediary to sell the medicine on our behalf to the community hospital. ”

"Yes, the three of us are not young but we have this secret recipe that may indeed cause some capital to blush, after all, once it is really mass-produced and promoted, it can indeed make a lot of profits. ”

Bert was a little worried, then looked at Bonnie and asked:

"How much does it cost you to concoct this potion?"
