"Ding! The story mission has been activated and is about to enter the story mode! ”

At the end of the system's voice prompt, Lin Yi only felt a fog rise in front of him, and when the fog dissipated, the picture in front of him changed from a first-person perspective to a third-person perspective.

In the picture, Lin Yi is still in the wooden house in the forest, but the wooden house is much cleaner now, and there is an NPC with a short stature and sparse hair in front of the test bench in the wooden house.

Lin Yi observed the surrounding situation, and the system prompt sounded again, and the original crisp and elegant female voice was also deep and old.

"This place, called Viper Glade, is located deep in the novice village. In the depths of this viper forest, it is rumored that a huge viper has lived for nearly a hundred years. He is the leader of all the vipers and undoubtedly the most powerful creature in the novice village. ”

Just over a decade ago, though, things changed! Edward, the alchemist, came to the woodlands, a brutal alchemist who bordered on madness, and who believed in combining animals and humans to produce more powerful lifeforms. For the sake of his own success, he did not hesitate to use living people for experiments, but this action also caused dissatisfaction among the whole kingdom. Despite the strength of his alchemy and the benefits of the kingdom's nobility, the king and the nobles decided to exile him in order to suppress the rebellious commoners and appease their hearts. ”

Because of the expulsion of the country and the complaints of the people, this alchemist, who still had a trace of kindness in his heart, also repented at that moment. He willingly gave up everything and wandered alone into this woodland. During this time, he changed his method of experimentation, fusing his alchemy into a gentle one. After a lot of experimentation day and night, he finally got something... ”

Voice prompt, this is the end.

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the old man standing in front of the experimental table.

And the old man's originally frozen body also moved when the system prompt ended, dancing with his hands and chanting words.

"Great! That's great! I finally made it! Hahaha! ”

The old man shouted in his mouth, shaking the glass bottle with half a bottle of green liquid that Lin Yi had seen before. It's just that the glass bottle in the hand of this alchemist named Edward is full at this time, which makes Lin Yi a little puzzled.

Then, Edward looked at the bottle of dark green liquid in his hand with a loving look, and the fiery heat in his eyes made Lin Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, get goosebumps all over his body. Some even wanted to cover their eyes, fearing that if they looked any further, they would see some of the paid links between the alchemist and the glass bottle.

However, this idea would not come to fruition, and all Edward did was uncork the bottle, took a shallow sip of the liquid from the bottle, and then recapped the potion and placed it on the table. Then he turned around and sat down in a chair next to him, his face calm as usual, as if waiting for something to happen.

In this way, the alchemist Edward sat there motionless, and Lin Yi looked at him blankly.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, minute by minute. Just when Lin Yi was a little out of breath, the alchemist named Edward suddenly stood up, and then his pupils contracted into a thin line, and then he lay on the ground like an earthworm and crawled towards the door, during which he also passed through Lin Yi's feet, but fortunately, Lin Yi in the plot mode was just a phantom, and the two did not collide substantially.

At the same time, the screen goes black and the plot mode is over. Lin Yi also retreated into the game, still holding the glass bottle containing half of the dark green liquid in his hand.

"Ding! Story mission has ended, you have gained 800 XP"

"Ding! You have obtained the quest item [Edward's Experiment Notes]"

The system prompt sounded again, stopping Lin Yi's thinking, and he opened his bag, and a worn-out notebook was occupying a space in Lin Yi's backpack at this time.

【Edward's Alchemy Notes】

A diary containing the alchemist Edward's experiments. Note: This item is a quest item and cannot be destroyed.

Lin Yi carefully opened the broken notebook, the handwriting in it was a little sloppy, compared to his own "calligraphy", although this alchemist was slightly inferior, but it could also be said that he was a rival on a par with himself.

Day 1

Qing, I came to this jungle and heard from the villagers that there are a lot of animals for me to experiment with, but beware of the vipers in the depths of the jungle. I don't care about that, I have a lot of alchemical potions, and a snake is not a threat to me.

Day 3

Yin, the villagers promised me to help me build a wooden house in the forest, but for this I had to pay a certain price, that is, I would take one of them as an apprentice, I found a smart boy to be my apprentice, but I did not have time to teach him, so I had to give him my alchemy notes and some recipes.

……

The eightieth day

Gale, I'm going to catch some vipers these days to be my experiments, they are already the toughest creatures in the forest, although it's a pity that they haven't reached the level I'd liked, but that's all.

……

Three hundred and ninety-seven days

Vipers are hard to see in the woods, and they seem to be hiding. Just like the apprentice who took my notes.

……

Five hundred and one days

There are no more vipers in the woods, and their reproduction rate is nowhere near as fast as the consumption of my experiment! But my experiments aren't finished yet, and I need experiments.

Five hundred and two days

Hahahaha! I didn't expect that there was such a viper about to turn into a dragon in this small wood, but fortunately I caught it before he turned into a dragon, and if it really became a dragon, then I am afraid the result would be reversed. However, it came at the right time, and I needed him for my experiments!

……

recorded that the day was over, but it was not that this note was only for these eight days, but that Lin Yi could only look at these pages in the note. After reading these pages of notes, in addition to being a little surprised by the pit viper that was about to turn into a dragon, what surprised him even more was the terrifying strength of this Edward, who actually killed all the snakes in the entire viper woodland by himself.

Looking at the potion in his hand again, Lin Yi felt a little shocked in his heart, Edward was so powerful that he was half-human and half-snake by this small potion, compared to it, this elixir may be even more dangerous.

However, when Lin Yi looked at the bottle of potion again, the name of the potion also changed, and its properties also jumped in front of him.

【Baba Papa's Blood Elixir】

After taking it, the user immediately has one of the attributes of Baba Dad.

Introduction: The potion created by the great alchemist Edward, using the blood of a viper named Baba Dad in the novice village, will obtain a property related to the viper after use, please be cautious about eating, because its taste is real... Well... Not so good!

"Damn!" Lin Yi scolded after reading the introduction, and complained in his heart: The reason for cautious use is obviously not the taste, right! Edward has turned into an earthworm, hey! This prompts players to have a sense of morality!

However, he thought about it again, after all, he was a player, and the system would never let him do something unruly like crawling on the ground or sticking out his tongue when he had nothing to do, so this potion didn't seem to hurt him, not to mention that he could also have the attribute of a viper that was about to turn into a dragon, which was priceless.

High risk must bring high rewards, Lin Yi thought so, and then swallowed the [Baba Dad's Blood Elixir], and then seemed to feel that this was not enough, and stretched out his tongue and licked the mouth of the bottle carefully, not caring at all about the yellowed old saliva left on Edward.

However, after all, he was in the game world, so Lin Yi didn't wait for more than ten minutes before the potion had an effect like Edward. Just at the moment when the alchemy elixir was at the entrance, Lin Yi had already triggered the system prompt.

"Ding! You have acquired the skill [Bloodline Power]"

Lin Yi, who didn't feel anything unusual in his body, was a little puzzled after receiving the system prompt, he opened the skill bar and found that there was an extra skill in it again, and it was a natural choice skill.

Lin Yi, who was surprised, opened the introduction of the skill and looked at it carefully.

Bloodline Power (Passive)

Each upgrade of Constitution, Strength, and Agility will each gain two additional points, and at the same time, one point will be deducted for each upgrade of Intelligence, and no more deduction will be made when it is reduced to one point.

Introduction: The power of the bloodline contained in a viper that is about to turn into a dragon can bring you strength, speed, and physical improvement, but the fly in the ointment is that the intelligence of this creature is not high, and the fusion of bloodlines may bring you some side effects.

After reading the skill description, Lin Yi was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, and complained in his heart why this skill was not obtained earlier, and now he has only wasted 9 bonus opportunities.

Moreover, when he studied the introduction of the game with his younger brother Lin Xuan before, Lin Yi had already learned that before the player did not choose a career, each upgrade did not have additional bonuses except for five attribute points, and only after the player reached the tenth level and chose the profession could he have corresponding growth in attributes, which can be regarded as a watershed for players at this stage.

Therefore, a skill like [Bloodline Power] is simply a god-level existence, the sooner you get it, the greater the benefits, even after changing jobs, when facing the same professional battle, your growth will be higher than others, and when you reach level fifty or even one hundred in the future, the growth that this skill brings to Lin Yi is even equivalent to having one more piece of equipment with good attributes than others, that is a terrible thing.

Of course, these are still too early for Lin Yi, and his first task now is to return to the village first and tell the village chief the news.

was anxious, and the pace was naturally not slow, and it didn't take long for Lin Yi to return to the novice village.

Finding the village chief again, Lin Yi handed the diary to the other party, and described what happened in the Viper Woodland by the way.

"I didn't expect him to do such a murderous experiment, and the people in the village thought that his method was too cruel after learning about it, so it's okay, since he is gone, let this matter pass!"

The village chief looked up at the sky and said, "Young warrior! This notebook belongs to the alchemist, one of his apprentices is now in the village pharmacy, he is also the only alchemist in the village, you go and help me give this notebook to him, after all, this is also an item belonging to his master. After speaking, the notes returned to Lin Yi's backpack.

"Ding! Mission accomplished! You get a reward: 800 XP points. ”

Although the village chief's task did not trigger the sound of the task prompt this time, Lin Yi still took the task items and followed the guidance of the map to the pharmacy in the novice village.

Even though a large number of players have reached level 10 and left the Novice Village, the Pharmacy is still one of the busiest places in the Novice Village.

As soon as Lin Yi walked to the door, there were already seven or eight people asking him if he needed to level up, and the people who came to ask were all players who were already level 10, they were basically people from the studio, and a few were idle players who planned to use this to earn some pocket money.

However, when these people saw that Lin Yi had reached level 10, they naturally left.

Players like these who are already level 10 can't continue to gain experience without taking office, which is also a routine used by Kerui to prevent all players from appearing, but it has fulfilled the people of these studios.

The owner of the pharmacy is the apprentice of Edward as mentioned by the village chief, but Lin Yi didn't see where the strength of this NPC was, after all, the other party was just an ordinary NPC of level eighteen, and his strength was probably not as good as those level 20 elite-level guards in the novice village, which made Lin Yi, who had seen Edward's strength, a little disappointed.

The NPC behind the counter knew that Lin Yi was coming in, and without raising his eyelids, he said in an extremely lazy tone, "Want to buy something?" ”

"I'm not here to buy something, it's the village chief who asked me to hand over some things to you!" Lin Yi also didn't talk nonsense and directly expressed his intentions, after all, his time is very precious.

When the man heard that Lin Yi was sent by the village chief, he raised his eyes and looked at it, but his tone still didn't take Lin Yi seriously.

"Oh? What good things can the old man give me, village chief? ”

Lin Yi was very dissatisfied when he saw the other party's attitude, but he didn't dare to be angry, after all, the other party was an NPC in the game, if he really did it, I was afraid that the guards patrolling the village would not let him go, and he could only throw the [Edward's Alchemy Notes] in his backpack on the counter casually, but the sound of this move scared the NPC who was fighting with his upper and lower eyelids.

The NPC was about to get angry, but subconsciously glanced at the thick notebook on the counter, and then let out an exclamation of "ah".

"This... This is... Where did you get that? Where did the village chief go? Impossible! How did he come back from that forest so dangerous, is the master still alive? He's back? ”

Lin Yi listened to the pharmacy owner in front of him talking to himself, and did not explain it, until the system prompt sounded, Lin Yi smiled happily.

"Ding! Side quests! {Notice: Tell Edward's apprentice, the drugstore owner, what he knows.} }, Reward: 600 experience points; Accept it or not! ”

"Yes"

Lin Yi, who had been waiting for the task prompt, chose to accept it without hesitation at this time, and after successfully receiving the task, Lin Yi slowly spoke: "You don't have to be so surprised, this notebook was brought back by me from the viper forest, the viper in the forest has long been dead, as for your master, he left a bottle of alchemy potion in the wooden house in the forest, but he is gone." ”

After listening to Lin Yi's words, the pharmacy owner seemed to be secretly relieved, but he seemed to think of something and said to Lin Yi: "Where is that bottle of medicine now?" ”

Looking at the anxious appearance of the NPC whose name had changed from the pharmacy owner to the anxious one, Lin Yi said angrily: "When I saw it, there was only half a bottle of potion left, so I drank it all!" ”

"What! Drink them all! ”

Jumping up and screaming again, this time it was so loud that the studio members who were pulling people outside also looked inside the pharmacy.

"Then have you felt any different changes in your body after using it?"

It seems that he cares a lot about the efficacy of the potion, and when he asks, he looks yearning and eager. But Lin Yi naturally couldn't tell him that he had a skill, after all, the other party was just an ordinary NPC, and this kind of thing could only be described to him with a general concept.

"Of course there has been a change! I feel like my body has become more sensitive, stronger, and even stronger, but my brain has been stiffened. Lin Yi informed the urgent jump according to the introduction of the potion.

After hearing this, he frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the effect of what Lin Yi said, and said to himself: "Is this the result of the teacher's research?" It doesn't seem to be so prominent, there must be other effects! ”

"How long can you last like this!" Jian Jian jumped and his face sank, and he continued to ask.

"I think it's going to be a medicine that's going to be there for a long time, and it's going to continue to improve my physical fitness as my strength grows."

"Hmmm! It's no wonder that it can, and it is not in vain that the teacher is exhausted to have such an effect. . . Wait a minute... Wrong! You mean it's always been there? ”

"Oh my God! How is this possible! This is no longer the level of alchemy! Except for some medicines left over from our ancestors, there is no other medicine that can have such a long-lasting effect! It's like giving you blood! ”

This shouting almost shook the roof of the pharmacy store, and even two patrolling guards rushed in when they heard the sound, wanting to correct Lin Yi, but fortunately, they woke up from the shock in time and stopped the behavior of the two guards and drove them out, which allowed Lin Yi to be exempted from punishment.

"The teacher is worthy of being one of the best alchemists in the alliance! If this potion were to appear, I am afraid that the entire continent would be shocked, and even those ignorant orcs would come to ask for the teacher's help because of this!
