Chapter 17: Perfect Physique X
"Shoot him!" The gunmen howled in rage and opened fire with their guns raised.
Asker dodged and rolled over, then ducked behind the house next to him. Countless bullets rained down like a torrent of bullets, sending dust to the ground. Looking at the scene of the gunshots, Asker sighed.
The most important thing for a Gunners is to choose and move, followed by tactical awareness, and finally their own control and reaction speed. These gunners actually chose to charge in the front, and their knowledge of position selection and movement was close to zero; The people are gone, and they are still shooting at the open space, and there is no sense of tactics at all. I have to deal with these garbage NPCs, and I really feel like a strong man beating up a child.
The opponent is too weak to lift his strength!
The gunners were still firing into the clearing, while the other group of gunners had quietly separated, and while their companions were using gunfire to attract each other's attention, they planned to make a surprise backstab. As a result, I went around to the back of the house and looked, what about people?
Just when everyone was stunned, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and several of the gunmen who circled around suddenly fell.
"Overhead! He's on the roof! The gunners reacted, and as soon as they raised their guns, they saw a figure flash from the roof and disappear behind the eaves.
"Intercept the people who brought you! Petrick, what are you doing over there! The leader of the gunmen roared angrily. When he was outflanked just now, he asked his henchman Petrick to stay on the other side of the house with three or four people, for fear that the enemy would notice and run away. As a result, the enemy jumped off the roof in that direction and ran, but not a single shot was fired from Petrick's side.
"Petrick's men were killed!" The gunman, who rushed to the other side, turned his head and shouted, "Just now, when he was on the roof!" β
Before he could finish speaking, another shot rang out, and the leader of the gunmen fell in response. The bullet passed through his skull and opened a black hole in his forehead.
"The boss is dead, too!" The gunmen shouted in panic and continued to charge in the direction where the gunfire came. Although the ferocity and bloodiness were still supporting them to continue fighting, after all, they lost their command, and the formation that was originally used to outflank them immediately dispersed.
"Left! The brother on the left is down, he is on the left! β
"No! Bullets are coming from the right! β
"On it! He ran to the roof again! β
"Fire suppression! What are you all doing? Can't you lock it? β
As the gunmen howled and were killed, the rest of the men finally began to falter. From the beginning of the battle to the present, more than 20 people have been shot on his side, and the opponent has not lost even a single hair. Even many times, everyone just glimpses a back, and then they can't find the target. Five or six seconds later, the gunshots rang out again, and as his companions fell one after another, everyone realized that the man had already moved in another direction.
This battle cannot be fought! It's completely a mouse chasing a cat, killing itself! Soon the rest of the men came to an agreement in horror, scattered and fled for their lives.
Asker hid in the shadows in the corner, quietly watching the gunmen flee without pursuit. These garbage NPCs don't even have supernatural traits, and it's a complete waste of bullets to kill. Don't bullets need money?
He stepped out of the corner, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and sighed helplessly again.
After this killing, no one stopped him from leaving the slums, and the City Watch didn't even face him...... Everyone knows that slums are chaotic areas, and no one wants to go to duty at all. So Asker made it all the way back to the ancestral house, only to see that everyone else had already returned.
"The Shadow Insect Beast's Eye and the Thick Scale Ke have both been purchased, as have the diamond powder and ferrous oxide powder, and it cost a total of 130 pounds." Medea handed over the bill, "In addition, I bought a set of alchemy chemical equipment by the way, which cost 1 pound...... That's the remaining 419 pounds. β
Aske was also unkind, and took back the banknotes. 1 pound for a set of alchemy equipment? God knows how much Medea embezzled in this, but it doesn't matter, the money is spent anyway. Especially the money in the game, it really doesn't feel distressing to spend it at all.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nora couldn't stand it anymore, and came out and said:
"Guys, it's our own business to become a potion of transcendents, and it's not good to use Asker's own funds, right? I suggest that we pay for the materials and recipes ourselves, and if we don't have cash, ask Asker to advance it from our future salary. β
"Eh, that's a good idea for a salary advance." Eleanor chimed in, "I agree. β
"We're fine." Peggy and Medea have spoken out.
"Okay." Asker laughed, "The materials I ordered should arrive tomorrow, a total of 230 pounds." Add in the 130 pounds you spent on purchases, and the 100 pounds you already spent at the party, for a total price of 460 pounds. According to our contract, the current monthly salary is 2 pounds, and if it is calculated on an average basis, your salary for the next 5 years will be gone. β
All:???
"Why don't you do it." Seeing that everyone was embarrassed and speechless, Asker said with a smile, "Potion recipe materials are already a big expense, even far more than your daily expenses. Why don't we set up a 'Team Excellence Fund' and put all the team profits in this fund. After that, we will no longer raise wages, and everyone can receive 2 pounds a month from the fund to support their daily living expenses. As for the cost of potion materials, it is taken from the team fund, and we need an accounting cashier for this......"
"Then Nora will take the role." He patted his head and specified.
"Oh, yes." Nora also generously agreed. Everyone knows that this person is very rich, although I don't know how much net worth she has, anyway, I don't worry about her corruption.
"As the founder and leader of the team, I personally invested 520 pounds." Asker said, "Except for the balance of the materials I ordered, this is all I have left. β
"I can also inject 500 pounds." Nora said a little weakly, she can actually get ten times the amount of funds, but after all, she can't exceed Asker's contribution, otherwise the proportion of capital contribution will exceed that of the founder, and there will be a suspicion of grabbing power.
"I'm out 200 pounds." Medea said dryly. This is the intelligence fund allocated by her corrupt Seljuk Empire, so she doesn't feel distressed at all to pay it.
"I don't have any money." Peggy said.
"I ...... I'm out 5 pounds. Eleanor was ashamed, this was all she had.
"So be it." Asker high-fived.
So the small team initially built its own small treasury, with a starting capital of 1,225 pounds. In this era when the registered capital of a company is only about 100 pounds, 1225 pounds is already a considerable amount of wealth, but it is a matter of minutes to throw it into the mysterious realm - even the potion materials of Sequence I are sold from 100 pounds per piece.
However, there was no rush to worry about the funds, as Asker was about to start refining his first potions.
"Alchemist, please keep it in mind." With that, Asker set up a small crucible on his desk, opened the portable alcohol canister and lit a fire underneath. At the same time, the packaging of disposable plastic gloves was torn open, "First, safety; second, cleansing; Third, secrecy. β
The girls stared intently at his every movement, even Medea, whose potions were sent directly from the court in the Seljuk Empire. Ever since she had made up her mind to commit treason, she had to prepare for it.
Asker unscrewed the cork and poured in the Mighty X potion, covering one-third of the height of the cauldron.
"Be careful that the total amount of liquid cannot exceed one-half of the height of the crucible, otherwise you will need to change to a larger crucible." Asker said this, and the potion quickly boiled, and bubbles began to bubble out. As the water gradually dries, bright red crystals precipitate out at the bottom of the pot.
"If a potion is available, evaporating the water at high temperatures is a common way to obtain the extraordinary properties contained in the potion." Aske carefully scraped off the crystals and filled them in a petri dish covered with filter paper, "However, some sequences that are contrary to high temperatures, such as frost and shadows, cannot be heated, so they can only be left to stand and blown with a fan to let the solvent volatilize naturally." Some solvents are more troublesome than oily, so more advanced means need to be used. β
He replaced it with a new crucible and concocted it again, obtaining the transcendent properties of Wisdom X and Astute Xβbeautiful crystals of sea blue and grass green, respectively. Next, Asker introduced about 20ml of absolute ethanol into the new crucible, and then put three supernatural properties in it at the same time.
Absolute ethanol immediately boiled at room temperature, but the water level did not volatilize at all. I saw that the color of the liquid suddenly changed from red to blue, from blue to green, and from green to red, and so on and so on, and gradually turned into an opaque milky white, calming down.
"If it's an existing high-order potion, you can use your spiritual intuition to know whether it's successful or not." Asker picked up the beaker and fanned the beaker with his hand, "Otherwise, you can sniff like this." If you fail, you will feel dizzy when you smell it. If successful, the smell will make people crave a drink. β
As soon as he craned his neck, he drank the potion in the beaker, and then immediately opened his mouth with a bitter face, and kept muttering: "This wine is too heavy, I can't stand it." β
"Asker, your eyes!" Nora exclaimed. In the eyes of the girls, Asker's iris began to turn white. The muscles of his whole body began to swell, and the neckline and cuffs of the cotton armor were faintly tightened. His lips turned bright red, the pores of his body seemed to open open, his hair stood on end, and the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes were almost bulging. There were big bags bulging out of his neck, as if something was surging under his skin.
Gradually, the abnormality slowly subsided. As an ordinary person who had never drunk potions, Asker's body was extremely capable of accommodating Perfect Body X, so there were no signs of any conflict spiraling out of control.
It worked. Asker slowly felt the abundant spirituality in his body, and Perfect Body X brought him a large amount of extraordinary power, and also accelerated the transformation of extraordinary power into physical power and spiritual power. His explosiveness, muscle control, stamina, reaction speed, as well as his thinking ability and mental concentration have all improved significantly. There are no more shortcomings in all aspects of the body, and it is no longer easy to get sick, poisoned, or age.
He's a real Level 1 now.
