Chapter 7: The Unreliable Alchemist
Back in Yar, Night learns that Dora's father is the chef who taught her how to cook, Tibas, and that the hunter Carter usually supplies him with prey, so he is very familiar with his daughter Dora, and often takes Dora out hunting when he is too busy.
The word "often" made the sensitive night seem to smell something inside, and then she looked at Dora with a little sympathy. It turns out that being an NPC is so hard, and you have to be taken out again and again, lost, and then rescued......
In addition to the experience given by the system, Chef Tibas also gave Night a small bag of silver coins and a dozen cherry pies with +100 HP after eating, which can last for one hour, and promised that she could get a 20% discount when she came back to buy food here.
After accepting the things, the night thought about it, took out all the spider legs that were hit, and asked Tibas how to cook, Tibas wanted to show her, but then patted his head, went to the side shelf and rummaged for a while, took out a cooking recipe and handed it to her: "I almost forgot, I still have a recipe for barbecue spider legs here, it's not worth any money, so I'll give it to you." ”
This game encourages players to explore, and the NPCs at the advanced points are slightly intelligent, and will give birth to their own likes and dislikes, loves and hates, so the tasks and rewards are not static, and will be flexibly continued or changed according to the player's attitude and reaction, of course, the results can not be completely predicted, and the player may get an unexpected joy, or may not get anything.
Nightshade didn't have much experience in the game, and she didn't know anything about it, she just instinctively did what she thought she should do, and after learning the cooking recipe, she borrowed the kitchen from Tibas and tried to roast the spider's legs again.
This time, during the cooking process, she got meticulous hints from the system, such as what is too big, turn the food over, sprinkle some salt, sprinkle some salt, stop the fire and scorch and so on, she just needs to follow these tips to finish, and finally bake out a crispy spider leg of ordinary quality, after eating, spell damage +5, duration 20 minutes.
But Nightshade guessed that it might have something to do with the quality of the food, so she roasted the rest of the spider legs without stopping.
The so-called practice makes perfect, she is the more baked the more comfortable it is, at first there are some ordinary quality finished products, and then all of them are of good quality or excellent, occasionally once or twice she also baked excellent quality, in contrast, the quality of this crispy spider leg is increased by one order, and the spell damage value will increase by 5 points after eating, and the time will be extended by 10 minutes.
Satisfied with the result, Nightlight packed up her things and left the cooking shop, handing in all the tasks she had completed along the way, and finally came to the alchemist's quarters.
Alchemist Yasen was dispensing the potion, and he took the time to glance at her in his busy schedule, and said impatiently: "It's just for you to pick some shadow mist grass, but you've been there for so long! ”
The task only said that a large amount of shadow mist grass was needed, and the night could not estimate how much it was a large amount, so he took out two dozen shadow mist grass and put them on Yasen's test table, looked at him indifferently and said, "Are these enough?"
The system prompted that the task was completed, giving her some experience, and Yassen also gave her 10 silver coins, but still frowned and said unhappily: "Too little, go pick some more." ”
The night did not turn around and went out, silently taking out two more dozen shadow mist grasses.
This time, the experience rewarded by the system was doubled, and the silver coins given by Yasen became 20, and his face looked much better, and he softened her tone and teased her: "I don't see it, you are still a quick guy." ”
The night ignored him, and continued to go out to get the shadow mist grass, she was afraid that she would have to run again if she didn't pick enough, so when she stayed in the misty forest, she spent most of her time digging and picking herbs, anyway, there was shadow mist grass everywhere, and no one grabbed it from her, she hoarded a dozen dozen dozens, and at the moment she was prepared, two dozen and two dozen to take out.
It's a pity that the experience given by the system this time has not doubled, but it is the same as the last time, but she handed it in five times in one go, and the alchemist Yasen hurriedly shouted to stop, and after calculating, this task made her experience bar rise by 20%, and the return was quite rich.
"Aha!" Yassen was even more excited, rubbing his hands together and said, "Let's see what kind of magic potion these Shadow Mist Grass can refine!"
To be honest, Ye Du was also a little curious, wondering what kind of potion could be tested by this alchemist, who looked quite professional, but claimed to only have two potion recipes, so he stood there and waited. Yassen didn't rush her, and was busy tinkering with the large and small crystal bottles in front of him, pouring the different colors of liquid in the bottles, and heating them for a while and cooling them for a while.
Isn't this going to have some unusual chemistry and then "bump" and explode?
The night was not very worried and moved a few steps in the direction of the door, and then sure enough, he heard a crisp cracking sound, and the crystal bottle in Yasen's hand suddenly exploded, and he didn't even dodge, he was splashed by the liquid inside.
"No, no!" Yasen wiped his face with a handkerchief and said angrily, "None of these reagents are right, they can't be fused with the Shadow Mist Grass Liquid at all!"
There's nothing you can do to help with this kind of problem.
The night turned around and prepared to go out very self-consciously, but was suddenly stopped by shouting: "Mage, can you help me get some more spider poison sacs?"
She stopped: "How much?"
"Two dozen, two dozen should be enough. Yasen gritted his teeth and said, "This time it will definitely be successful!"
It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, as long as you have experience. The night was glad that he had hit a lot of spider poison sacs, so he handed over the amount Yasen wanted, for fear that he would not be enough, and he would go back and wait for a while on the side, but he didn't expect him to really succeed this time, and the crystal bottle that had prepared the potion suddenly became brilliant, and after a while, the light dimmed, and the bottle body had a layer of purple luster, which was the color of the potion inside.
"I'll just say it's going to work this time!" Jassen muttered with a look of obsession in his eyes, "Look, what a beautiful color, like Queen Olivia's eyes......"
A light cough interrupted his lyricism in the night: "What kind of potion is this?"
Yassen was embarrassed for a moment: "Poison ......"
Ye Shi didn't care what his feelings were, and asked directly, "Can the formula sell me?"
……
Shadow Mist Poison: Turns the drinker into a delicious poisonous mushroom that lasts for 10 minutes and has a cooldown of 10 hours.
After buying the formula, Ye Se only glanced at it, and she had an urge to beat up the alchemist Yasen! This guy is too unreliable, even if he concocted this chicken rib poison, he even dared to sell her 20 gold coins! However, the long cooldown time of this poison made her have a trace of doubt in her heart, anyway, she was not short of money, she thought about it and learned the formula, so that the remaining shadow mist grass and spider poison sac in her backpack would be useful, and she could use it to practice with this poison, and it would be good to increase the proficiency of alchemy skills.
The night has always thought of it, and when I returned to the hotel, I concentrated on preparing the potion, but I had only made three bottles when I heard the system prompt: "The player has sent you a private chat invitation, do you accept it?"
She was stunned for a moment before she remembered who the evil heart was, and accepted a private chat, and the voice of the female mage yesterday came: "Great God, take the liberty to ask, are you free now, do you want to go with us to play a copy?"
The night understands what the dungeon means, knows that the boss is concentrated there, and the equipment that is played is better than the outside, and he is not afraid of being robbed of monsters, but in such a place, the mob is also at the elite level, and the players are not well coordinated, it is possible to die in it, and even the game has a corresponding setting, and the player dies in the dungeon, only 20% of the experience is lost, not a whole level, which shows its difficulty and danger.
She is not an ordinary player, she doesn't dare to die casually, and after thinking about it, she still plans to refuse, but the evil heart is still telling her: " I and the hundred ghosts heard that the probability of dropping the mage skill book ice ring technique in the cold abyss is relatively large, so I found someone to team up, I originally wanted to brush up for two or three days, play two ice ring techniques, one for you, and the other for my own use, but only one round, someone temporarily went offline, and another group found that the operation was bad and attracted monsters everywhere, and killed us all once, so I thought it would be better to simply ask if you want to come over and fight together, if you are lucky enough to hit the book, you take it first. ”
Hearing that there was an ice skill book dropping, Ye Du seriously thought about it, because after PK with the priest named Hanguang, she found that her attack methods were too poor, and she urgently needed to learn a few more skills, especially the ice type, which she knew that it might slow down the opponent's speed when she heard it.
didn't get her response, and the evil heart said again: "The copy is smoothed and brushed quickly, and there is an experience bonus for teaming, anyway, the upgrade is not slower than the task, if you have time, come here." ”
"Just call me by name. Ye Su thought about it and asked her, "How many levels of copy is this, and how difficult is it?"
Evil Heart hurriedly said: "Level 25 dungeon, we are playing on normal difficulty, and we have already passed once, so it is not very difficult." ”
Only then did the night agree to come down, but before rushing to the cold abyss, she made full preparations, and the herbs she dug were not enough to make potions, so she went to the town to buy them, spent 20 gold coins, bought enough powerful healing potions and powerful mana potions, and then bought some teleportation crystals according to the guidance of the evil heart, and then passed through the small magic teleportation array in Guò Town, and passed it several times in succession, and it reached Icewind Dale.
The magic teleportation array is convenient and fast, but it doesn't feel too comfortable, it makes people slightly dizzy, and the night just came out of the teleportation array in a little confusion, and before I could distinguish the southeast and northwest, I heard someone say happily: "Here! Night, we are here!"
As soon as she turned her head, she saw the evil heart that was jumping up and waving to her desperately not far away, and the hundred ghosts who were smiling with a sunny face next to the evil heart.
Su Weiping, the night was not impressed by the two of them, but I just felt that they were not the kind of scheming and sinister bad guys, so it didn't matter if they occasionally formed a team together, and then dispersed after the fight. She came with such an idea, her expression was very indifferent, but at this moment, seeing these two innocent and enthusiastic smiling faces, she suddenly had a subtle feeling in her heart, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised a shallow arc.
