"Hey! Come on, the teacher is optimistic about you~"

“...”

Raymond on the operating table in the distance was also a little helpless, and waved his hand awkwardly in response.

At this moment, Aldrich's sassy old man was waving at him in greeting. That movement, I was afraid that others would not know that the people in the ring were his disciples.

Raymond didn't want the old man Cheetto to be involved, after all, he didn't want to earn the name of this genius potions master, but wanted to use this springboard to enter the palace to rescue Anna.

But this bad old man is not afraid at all, what is he a lonely man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth now, and if he doesn't come out and take two steps, the arrogant guys in the Potions Guild really think that his "Knox lineage" inheritance has declined.

He also said that the ugly thing about this exchange is the internal gilded meeting of the Potions Master Guild, and he, who is a teacher, will not come to help, for fear that Raymond will be very unattractive as a disciple.

"I don't need any cards..."

Raymond doesn't know where to go, it's obvious that this bad old man knows that he is the first, and he wants to use his hand to show off his pose...

The older you get, the more angry you leak.

At this moment, the old man on the high platform was afraid that it would not attract attention enough, and he wore the golden badge of his five-star potion master on his chest. Under the sunlight, it is as dazzling as a reflector, and the shining titanium alloy dog eyes can blind others.

As soon as this move came out, it really attracted everyone's attention.

"Ouch, isn't this Aldrich's old drunkard... When did this guy get promoted to a five-star Potions Master? ”

"Haven't you heard that he's been soaking in the tavern all the time? How is this... Become a five-star Potions Master in the blink of an eye? ”

"Really?"

"You see that he can be on an equal footing with the president, I'm afraid he won't have to be fake. Could it be... We need one more vice president of the Potions Guild? ”

"Vice President? Hehe... People still don't look down on it. Everyone is afraid that they have not received the news yet, this Aldrich five-star master has quit our Potions Master Guild, and he is now observing the conference as a free Potions Master. ”

"Huh? No way? ”

"Hehe, this kind of person will definitely regret it! Having quit the Potions Masters Guild, what can he do as a lonely five-star Potions Master? I'm afraid that it won't be long before this kind of person will try to run back again. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple... This Aldrich is still the younger brother of Chairman Boggs, and he has already joined the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Thunderbird is just a first-order and second-rate chamber of commerce, how can it be possible to shake the giant whale? They'll regret it..."

"Whew... You see, the kid with the bandage on his face was the contestant recommended by Aldrich's five-star master. Gee... I thought that Daniel, a disciple of President Voss, would definitely come out on top this conference, but now it seems... I'm afraid there's a good show to watch. ”

“...”

Because of Aldrich's scalp numbness in the old man's show, Raymond's disciple naturally attracted much attention.

He listened to the gossip in his ear, held his forehead again and again, and said helplessly in his heart: "Why didn't I find out that this old man was so sassy before?" What kind of stimulation has he been exposed to in the past two years..."

......

The whole process of the Genius Potions Conference is very boring,

In the finals, a total of three assessment subjects were comprehensively judged and finally ranked, including alchemy, general pharmacology and drug debate.

Anyway, he didn't have any acquaintances, and Raymond didn't plan to save face.

He directly took out a textbook alchemy technique to refine a Sequence 7 potion, and in the end, he was far ahead with 90% purity, and won the first round of assessment.

And Daniel, the genius disciple of President Voss in second place, can only reach 60%.

It's not that this 60% purity is low, but this purity is already the highest level in the last few Genius Potions Master conferences.

It's really Raymond's 90% purity that's too terrifying.

If it weren't for the bone age test to determine that Raymond was a young man under twenty years old, many potions masters would have thought that some old monster had deliberately pretended to be young to disrupt the scene.

......

The second link is to test the "general knowledge of pharmacology".

Raymond did not have any advantage and the results were mediocre.

This is purely a competition for the accumulation of knowledge of the Potions Master, even if he never forgets it, he has only been in contact with Potions for more than two years, and his skills are reliably added, but the knowledge can only be accumulated slowly.

What's more, in the past two years, he has either been killing zombies, or on the way to kill zombies. There was no world at all, and there weren't enough advanced potions books for him to study.

So in this link, Daniel won the first place by an overwhelming margin.

If there is no dark horse such as Raymond, he should be the most dazzling genius in these Genius Potions Conferences!

According to the original prediction, Daniel should have won all the way and came out on top. But in the first game, Raymond's advantage in refining medicine was too great, and that demonic aura forced his genius aura to be eclipsed.

......

The third link is "Dialectic", which is more knowledgeable than the potions master.

Raymond didn't care about winning or losing in this link, as long as he could get into the top three, he didn't care if he was the first or not.

But the rules of this link made him have to go all out, and if he wins, he will make a profit, and if he loses, he will lose a lot.

There is a very interesting rule in this session.

The person in the drug duel takes out one material in each round and lets everyone discern it, and if someone recognizes the origin of the material, the thing will immediately lose to the other party.

One point is added for winning, one point is minus for being recognized, and two points are added for taking out rare materials that are not recognized by anyone.

This is compared to the amount of knowledge and vision of the potions master, and it is also compared to the foundation.

This also means that if Raymond takes five kinds of ordinary materials casually and is recognized, not to mention the materials, he may end up missing the top three, and he may not necessarily be able to go to the palace.

This kind of rule,

Obviously, it is especially beneficial for a potions master like Daniel, who is better than his teacher, the president of the Potions Masters Guild, Voss Dyer?

Raymond thought it was too ugly to think that he still couldn't lose.

He looked at the competitors around him and had already made a decision in his heart: "It seems... I'm going to come up with something rare to make these novice village guys gain knowledge..."

There were five rounds of "drug debate", and the first round began quickly.

There are a total of eight people participating in the finals, each of whom takes out an item in turn, and the others rush to answer, who can identify it first, and who belongs to whom.

In this round of "debate", the advantages of Daniel, a super scholar, were shown.

The Potions Guild's warehouses contain almost all the potions materials in the Black Sea, and he began to debate potions at the age of one or two under the guidance of his teacher. Smelling, discoloring, looking...

As soon as the game began, the gap was immediately opened. Often, when someone else has just taken out something, and even before others have seen the whole material, he can answer the name and origin of the material in one bite.

"Haihe Flower..."

"Dinosaur's visceral powder"

"Twisted Gabala seaweed..."

“...”

Every round is crucial, and only by scoring enough points in the early rounds can you seal the win early.

Daniel took the lead in the first round, and the crowd cheered wave after wave.

Of the eight items in the first round, the only material that no one recognized was the jar of [Hell Frozen Spring] that Raymond took out. He has a lot of this stuff, and even if he loses a can, it doesn't hurt. It's a pity that no one recognizes this kind of high-grade boundless thing.

The results of the first round are in:

Daniel identified 6 materials and was identified 1, a total of 5 points;

Raymond answered 0 and was not recognized 1, a total of 2 points;

Set A, identify 1, be recognized 1, a total of 0 points.

The rest of the tricks, minus 1 point.

......

Who can participate in the advanced finals of this Genius Potions Master Conference, which one is not a genius? Which one is not a little arrogant?

Who can be willing to lose like this?

When the others saw the situation, they couldn't go on...

I can't compete for the first place, but I can earn the second place?

Daniel is a standout, and everyone can figure it out, after all, he is a closed disciple of the elder adult. But he and his competitors seem to be on the same level, no matter how much we don't fight, why don't we fight, so we have to peck each other?

What's more, Raymond is a good example here, as long as you can get enough rare materials, you can score points standing still, why not?

Everyone thinks so, this second round immediately caused a "bloody storm"!

One by one, the teenagers held their breath and took out materials that were more precious and rare than the other.

In this round, even Daniel, who was full of confidence just now, saw a big brain. These things that the people have come up with... Most of them are unique products that their Potions Guild's treasury has never seen!

"Ouch... It's a coincidence, I seem to be familiar with some treasures..."

Others look at the big heads, but Raymond sees those rare materials that can almost be said to be unique to the Black Sea, but they are very familiar.

In the game, what player hasn't received any "find XX materials" task?

In the game, these people in front of them are all famous NPCs who can issue tasks and have names and surnames. Most of the materials they come up with are really the "protagonists" of the strange missions released to players in the game.

This kind of task, Raymond's professional booster has been accepted more than 10,000 times!

The competition between everyone, the baby appeared frequently, but it made Raymond pick up a bargain.

The materials are rarer than the other, in other words, they are all "out-of-class" things in textbooks. Not to mention their group of junior potionsmen, even those intermediate potions masters sitting on the high platform have a headache when they come!

"Scholar" Daniel was also dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to answer again.

They rack their brains, smell, change color, look at shapes... Trying to match the numbers with the materials recorded in the classics, the speed of discerning them became extremely slow.

But Raymond is different!

What he has seen in the game, he can answer in one bite, and what he has not seen, even if he has seen it for a long time, he can't answer it.

Titan sea rhino horn, the best phosphorescent stone, rainbow potion, 10,000-year-old winged bird bone...

Rush to answer again and again, and one by one the treasures are in the bag.

"I didn't expect to leave to participate in a potion competition, and actually harvest so many rare materials... The Potions Master is really super rich, and these materials are worth at least hundreds of millions of quarks, and there is no market! ”

The more Raymond answered, the more excited he became, after these four rounds, he unknowingly had the same score as Daniel, and he had left the third place far behind!

Seeing that the general trend has gone, the others in the fifth round have no intention of earning.

Obviously, this last round is the time when the first and second really decide the winners.

Raymond only cares about whether he can get into the top three, and it doesn't matter if he is first or second.

But Daniel's nervous forehead on the side was sweating.

He was the one who had high hopes from many of the elders of the Potions Guild and was bound to win the championship. Now that he has lost the most important alchemy competition and won a general "general knowledge of pharmacology", only by winning the third game can he win the first place in the total score of this "Black Sea Genius Potion Master Conference".

Halfway through the break, Daniel went back and picked up something he hadn't intended to take out.

"This is an ancient insect that my ancestors found somewhere in the deep sea... As long as you can tell me about its general characteristics, this time I will lose the big competition! ”

"Strange insects?"

Raymond looked at the quaint carving style of the stone box, which was obviously not a characteristic of the Knicks period, and was afraid that it was the product of those earlier civilizations. The world of exploration does not know how many billions of years it has passed, and the extinction of life has been interrupted countless times. It's hard to say if there is a second article for this ancient strange insect in the world, who can know it?

Daniel took out this thing, and it was clear that he was already invincible for the others.

But that's just for everyone else!

Although Raymond can't recognize it, the system can identify it.

According to the urine nature of the plot in the game, the general rebellion takes out this kind of thing, and it must have a great origin.

Since you're going to give me a baby, I can't help but take it, right?

After thinking about it, he also showed a little curiosity, and asked cautiously, "What if I really recognize this thing, and you don't admit it?" ”

Daniel said confidently, "I'll write down the general habits of this strange insect on a note first, and then you can answer!" Whether the answer is correct or not, you will know with hindsight. ”

"Oh, that's fine."

Raymond read the system prompt and already had a chance to win.

Inside the stone box was a shriveled gray-white bug, a bit like dehydrated cordyceps.

He pretended to drag his chin and observe for a long time, and then said, "If I'm wrong... This is a dormant 'Heavenly Zombie Ice Silkworm', its body is immortal and indestructible, and the sword is difficult to hurt. If stimulated by the cold, it will have a faint feedback of vital signs..."

Daniel's face was as dead as he listened.

......

The high-profile 31st Black Sea Genius Potions Conference ended, and a strange genius boy from a remote sea beat Daniel to win the first place.

This explosive news spread throughout the entire Tianlan Royal Capital overnight.

Three days later, as usual, the palace was knighted.

......

Raymond didn't expect that the bug he won back casually was really scary.

This insect didn't even know Lulu as a "supernatural power", but the high priest of Elijah was shocked when he heard the name.

"What? Uncle, you actually got a [Heavenly Zombie Ice Silkworm]? ”

When Ilya held the stone box in front of her, she almost didn't let her eyes pop out in surprise.

Raymond didn't understand why this girl was so surprised, and asked, "Do you know this thing?" Could it be that this thing is of any special use? ”

Ilya rubbed her fingers at the worms in the box and sighed, "It's so useful!" This strange insect has existed since the time of the ancient gods, and it is a proper mythical creature. ”

"Huh? Is this bug big? ”

"Hmm. They used to be 'parasites' in the bodies of some powerful divine beasts. ”

"What's there to be surprised about parasites?"

"Divine beasts are super-level creatures that coexist with gods, and the parasites in their bodies can be simple? This kind of strange worm, the whole world may not be able to find a second one now..."

Ilya slowly recounted the origin of the worms, and said: "After the end of the Age of the Gods, the ancient elves found these immortal parasites in the corpses of some divine beasts... Later, they also researched another use of the 'Heavenly Zombie Ice Silkworm', which was to cultivate it into a source of magic with secret methods. At the beginning, my Nix's 'Lord Wuzu' was fortunate enough to get one, and then parasitized it in the body with the ancient method, and only then did he achieve the legendary supreme god body 'Storm Qi Sea'! ”

Raymond listened to the name a little familiar, and asked, "What are you talking about... In the legend of the Nix civilization, the 'God Body Storm Sea' is as famous as the High Priest's 'Divine Pattern Wind Demon Cave'? ”

Ilya nodded: "Yes! ”

Raymond rejoiced, "The legendary... Infinite magic? ”
