Chapter 244: It Really Works!
Two hours is not a long time.
Refining potions does not take less time to craft magic items, sometimes even longer...... Because the materials of the chemicals need to react, some materials will take a reaction time to make people impatient.
However, the time of the game has been set for a long time, and no one will use materials that require a long reaction time at this time.
They all chose the most familiar materials to refine the most convenient potions. In this competition, the higher the level of the potion, the better...... Barely refining a bottle of high-grade potion may not necessarily result in a higher score from refining a bottle of a slightly lower-grade but higher-quality elixir.
Those alchemists all believe that there is one thing that young alchemists must master...... That is, skilled.
It is more useful to be proficient in one potion than to be unskilled in three or five potions.
Everyone is working on the materials in their hands before refining them into potions...... Only Ji Ran is an exception.
That's right, Ji Ran is now making wine as a matter of course.
If you want to make sake in large quantities, you will naturally need a lot of tools. But it's only a small scale to make one or two bottles of wine, so now these tools on the test bench are enough.
The large pile of grapes on his test bench looked very abrupt, and the other materials were different from the other competitors. Although those are also materials with unique effects, few people use them together.
But Ji Ran is using it like this now.
He grinds the grapes into juice in a strange way, and then adds the other ingredients. Later, he made a distillation device out of those real equipment. Then put the juice or something into a container. Add some catalyst. Then start distilling......
In a sense, his actions are indeed brewing wine - although there are some operations that can only be used in alchemy, but you can't really let him use only the materials and means of brewing to refine a bar with special effects?
In short, his current method, which is called winemaking, has no problem.
"How's that, Angmar. Fifty-three doesn't have any cheating, right? Rubens looked at Angmar, who was also sitting on the judges' bench.
Angmar snorted, "He's indeed making wine, I'll admit it." But such a mess of mixing together is intended to make a wine with special effects? Those previous alchemists couldn't have failed! ”
Rubens's confidence in Ji Ran was not great, but when he saw Ji Ran's calm and confident movements, even he himself slowly became calm.
"We'll see when the results come...... I hope you'll keep your promise when the time comes! ”
"I'll keep my promise, but I think it's much more likely that I'll give him a zero!" Angmar had a sneer on his face and stared at Ji Ran tightly.
Ji Ran's movements were nothing unusual. It was only in some key steps that he used his cooking skills - his mana flew to consume. And those materials have also undergone unknown changes.
The dark red liquid began to tumble, and magical energy flowed through it. The materials began to merge slowly, gradually taking on a bizarre arrangement......
No one can see this. They just feel that the reaction of those materials seems to be different from the normal situation...... But they have little experience in winemaking, so they don't know what this peculiarity represents.
The distillation unit began to slowly transport the mixed liquid to another container, and the whole unit was dyed a dark red. It's certainly very different from ordinary winemaking, but no one can say it's not winemaking – and the subtle aroma proves it.
Time passed slowly, and other people's potions gradually took shape. But around Ji Ran, those alchemists were in a commotion...... For Mao actually has the taste of wine? And it's a mellow taste...... Some alchemists who have studied wine a little have appeared, and the taste of this wine is already something they have never seen before!
Many alchemists were distracted and set their eyes on Ji Ran's body. This No. 53 actually brewed wine on an occasion like an alchemy competition? Is this death? Even if you make good wine, what does it have to do with alchemy? Could it be that he has already given up on this game? Even if you do give up, it's much better to do nothing than to make sake! This is simply provoking all the judges!
Except for that Tranca, no one knew why Ji Ran did this.
Scott and Rey were also full of doubts...... Originally, I was holding back my strength and planning to find a place in this game, but it turned out that the blackhead boy of No. 53 was actually brewing! What is he trying to do?
In this case, two hours passed.
Most of the alchemists have completed their potions, but there are also those who are frustrated and have failed to refine...... They wanted to refine the potion of their abilities and get extra points, but unfortunately, they failed.
In front of Ji Ran, there were about two bottles of wine. The wines were filled with more than a dozen test tubes in the test tubes of the potion charge.
After the referee announced that everyone had stopped, a staff member came over and brought each contestant's work to the judges' bench. Everyone looked at the judges' bench with trepidation, speculating on how many points they would get.
Potion refining is Cruise's strong point, and he has also done assault training before, refining a potion that he is sure of but has a relatively high level many times...... Now it has reached the point where it can be refined with your eyes closed. And the quality of the refined medicine can also be stabilized on the "top grade". If the small universe explodes, it is not surprising that the best potion can be refined.
But this time he didn't explode the small universe, or not completely—his results were just somewhere between the best and the best. But even so, among these alchemists, he was confident that he could be among the best.
It's just the wine that Ji Ran made...... It is really fast enough, and under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to make wine in two hours. But alchemists. It is not surprising that some means are used. As long as he is really making wine by means of winemaking. And not the low-grade way of mixing potions in wine. The judges couldn't say anything.
Then there is the question of the wine's attributes...... As long as the wine has attributes, then Angmar must keep its promise and score full marks. What about the other judges? This kind of thing that can be said to be a reappearance in the alchemy world, are you sorry to give a low score?
I hope Ji Ran can really do it! Kreese secretly cheered Ji Ran up in his heart.
In comparison, Ji Ran's expression was much calmer. What you brew yourself, you don't know? The maximum amount of additional mana has been increased, mana recovery has increased, and mental power has also been increased...... This kind of attribute, if it can't be detected by those judges. They have also become alchemists in vain.
As long as that Angmar won't tear his face and deny it, then he will win this bet!
Although there is no real benefit, it will also make you very happy to slap that Angmar in the face. Not to mention...... This kind of wine with attributes that you have refined yourself should be able to sell for a good price......
Formulation? Naturally, this thing won't be given. Although there are good people in the alchemy world who selflessly announce the alchemy formula, they have never forced others to publish the formula. The unique recipe passed on by the master to the apprentice is not uncommon in this world.
So this time, the judges' bench was lively.
The potions in front of them, all the alchemy masters hurriedly read them and put them aside. These potions were all too familiar to them. Familiar to the point where you know the quality at a glance. So the scoring is also easy and enjoyable, one after the other. The score is in the hands of the judge.
Soon, Ji Ran's dozen test-tube wines appeared in front of the judges.
Ji Ran didn't know how many judges there were, but those test tubes were definitely more than the number of judges. So each judge picked up a test tube, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"It's a genuine wine, and it's made on the spot, right?" An alchemist asked the others. He can be regarded as a neutral, so no one will suspect that he is biased in what he says.
Everyone else shook their heads. Everyone has seen with their own eyes how wine is made, and if No. 53 really has the ability to cheat in front of so many alchemy masters and has not been revealed, then with his skills, it is also worth giving him a high score.
"Then let's try it...... Hehe, don't say, the aroma of this wine, I've never encountered it before......" The alchemy master smiled, raised the test tube and poured it into his mouth.
As an alchemist, there are naturally enough ways to prevent others from poisoning or even detoxifying. Therefore, they were not afraid that Ji Ran would poison them...... And it doesn't do any good to do that. Of course, if it succeeds, maybe Liber's Alchemy Society will be hit hard and collapse immediately......
Drinking in a test tube is naturally more problem-free. When making real food in the real yàn room, washed containers such as test tube beakers are often used to drink water - if you don't dare to use the real yàn equipment you have cleaned, how can you dare to say that the potions you have refined are fine?
After drinking the wine, the alchemist frowned slightly, and then immediately loosened up again. Soon, a look of intoxication appeared on his face: "Good wine!" It's really good wine...... I don't think it's any worse than the wines that our King has in his collection...... I didn't expect that Ji Ran still had this kind of means, hahaha...... Hey, I feel it! This wine really has a special effect! ”
The alchemist exclaimed, and the other alchemists also widened their eyes with surprise on their faces.
That Ji Ran really refined the wine to a special effect! It's the same as alchemy potions...... No, it's even better than ordinary alchemy potions!
The maximum amount of mana is increased, the mana is restored, and the mental power becomes more concentrated and sensitive...... This thing is almost the same as the sober potion that was specially provided to the caster for pre-battle preparations!
It's true! That Ji Ran really solved the problem that countless alchemy masters couldn't solve before, and now has the means to brew wine with the same effect as the potion!
Angmar's face suddenly became extremely ugly. (To be continued......)
