"You kid is reluctant! Do you know how many young alchemists can't get a place in the competition! Sergei was very proud when he saw that Ji Ran had finally given in, "And do you think that if you help Solan solve this matter, he will not say anything?" If you're missing something, where can you find it the fastest? Not in the wild, not in the free market, but in alchemy shops! ”

Ji Ran's eyes lit up suddenly. That's right! There are so many supplies in the alchemy shop, there must be much more materials than in places like the market! Commonly used materials are naturally purchased in large quantities, but those rare and rare materials, they must also be prepared!

The materials for refining the two-handed sword yourself are almost there, but the materials for refining the Chuxiao sword are not clueless! Sylvia has high requirements, and she just relies on herself to go to the wild to fight monsters and brush materials, and this thing has to be brushed until the Year of the Monkey......

Rare materials are not something you can get by killing a few monsters casually, although some materials are indeed produced by ordinary Warcraft, but the probability is very small, but most of the materials will only appear on high-level Warcraft...... Those mineral materials and all that stuff are even harder to come across - because most of them are hidden deep in the veins.

The rare materials on ordinary Warcraft, just like the Niu Huang Dog Treasure, are produced by mutation, and I don't know how many Warcraft will produce that little. If you brush it yourself, you may not be able to brush it until you are old. But if it's an alchemy shop, there will inevitably be a channel to get these things!

In this way, it is not without benefit to participate in that alchemy conference by yourself......

"What's more, what kind of materials do you think Liber's Alchemy Society took out as a reward? The top three all have at least one gold-level material, and the first place can even get a complete set of powerful alchemy tools made of rare materials! This set of alchemy utensils alone. You don't have the money to buy it......"

Sergei was still babbling, talking about the benefits of participating in the Alchemy Contest and winning. Seeing him like this, Ji Ran couldn't help but have an idea.

"Well, Professor Sergei, this alchemy conference must have a long history, right? Did you participate in it back then? What are the results? ”

Sergei blushed and had a thick neck. Wheezing and panting for a long time: "I was ...... I just learned alchemy, so I didn't get any good rankings. But in the end, few of the guys who won the top few places back then are now stronger than my alchemy! ”

This is a black history that belongs to an alchemy master, and it also involves the self-esteem of the old guy, and Ji Ran doesn't plan to continue to touch it to make trouble for himself.

"Alright. The Alchemy Contest is still a while away, so you can prepare now. I'll ask Solan to help you get a copy of the contest in a minute, so you can take a look at it first. By the way, the tradition of the alchemy competition, the last competition, is to bring your own materials for refining. If you have any ideas, just let me know. I'll ask Solan to help you prepare some materials, so as not to suffer the loss of insufficient materials. Sergei told Ji Ran.

Ji Ran's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Does the competition also have its own materials? Doesn't that mean that if you don't have enough money, then this last game will not be a miserable loss? The quality of things made of high-grade materials and low-grade materials is too poor! ”

Sergei nodded: "That's true. But it was also a last resort...... In a sense, this competition can be said to protect those poor alchemists. ”

Ji Ran thought about it carefully, and probably understood. If there is no such last method of competition. Then there will definitely be one or some alchemy competitions, and the champions are those who are poor and white. However, since they are poor and white, it means that they have no strength and no backers.

In that case, with all the materials and other things that everyone covets, how can their safety be guaranteed? The Alchemy Association can guarantee it for a while, but how can it guarantee it for a lifetime?

Moreover, alchemists are not all broad-minded people. The number one was taken away from him. If it's a person with a background and strength, it's fine, but a person with no background and no strength and a body of alchemy...... I'm afraid I don't even know how I died.

Even if there are forces willing to accept these alchemists immediately, these alchemists may not be able to end well...... Joining a faction with fame and glory often arouses the jealousy of others in that faction...... Needless to say, the results after that.

And the setting of this last competition. This possibility is cut off. Those genius alchemists will still be valued by the major forces, but this time, they must sincerely want them to join, and the conditions offered will naturally be more reasonable, and they will not be jealous of the insiders. And those who have the strength and background can rely on this to gain fame and glory - each according to what he needs, no one will be harmed, and everyone will rejoice.

"It's not just that." After explaining these ways to Ji Ran, Sergei spoke again, "Alchemists must need financial resources, and there is no other profession like an alchemist, which requires enough materials for realization, and the waste is even more amazing. People who don't have financial resources, no matter how talented they are, it is difficult for them to excel in alchemy. In a sense, this final competition is also a contribution to the selection of qualified alchemists. ”

What Sergei said made so much sense that Ji Ran was speechless. In layman's terms, you have no money to play an egg?

"Moreover, it can also test the young alchemists' ability to handle high-grade materials. The Alchemy Association is not willing to take out those high-level materials for those young alchemists, so if you have the ability to collect high-level materials, you will be able to get points in this competition. If not, I'm sorry......" Sergei's voice carried a little indignation.

Ji Ran can imagine that when Professor Sergei participated in this alchemy competition, Bacheng suffered a loss in this last competition......

"So, what kind of materials do you think you can handle with the limits of your ability, I will ask Solan to help you find out! You must win the first place this time! Sergei suddenly became agitated.

Ji Ran could understand Sergei's thoughts, after all, this was a regret in his heart for many years. It's just that I won this first place......

"Master Sergei, I'm not a man of lead and gold, I'm just your assistant. There's no way this thing can bring much reputation to lead and gold! Ji Ran reminded Sergei.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to use lead and gold to get a spot in the Alchemy Tournament. When the time comes, the organizers of the convention will judge you as a member of the Lead and Gold Alchemy Shop. You will have a share of what you have achieved, lead and gold. Sergei waved his hand, indicating that this was not a problem.

“…… Since you've said so, Professor Sergei, I don't have anything to be polite about. What's the limit of what I can handle...... Maybe it's the ...... of these materials" Then, Ji Ran pulled out a long list for Professor Sergei.

Then Sergei was furious.

"What a joke! If you get all the materials you need, all the liquidity of lead and gold will be taken! When the time comes, there is no need for any intrigues and tricks from competitors, and the store itself can go out of business! ”

The list that Ji Ran opened was unceremonious, there were dozens of gold-level materials on it, and there were hundreds of materials close to gold-level. The price of these things alone is enough to build another alchemy shop on the scale of lead and gold...... Sergei, on the other hand, said that he would take up all the liquidity of lead and gold, which shows that this old guy is much richer than he thought......

Ji Ran secretly calculated the bottom line of Sergei and lead and gold in his heart, and then slowly crossed out most of the materials on the list. Originally, his idea was to ask for a sky-high price. Even if Sergei really found out all these materials, Ji Ran might not be so bold as to use them......

It's really, too much money. Moreover, there are even a few things in the list he prescribed, which money can't buy.

This is the material that Ji Ran wants to obtain the most at this stage, which can refine several powerful magic weapons and arm him all over his body to the teeth. Of course, he even thought of their gear like Erin Les......

But this is clearly impossible.

So Ji Ran could only settle for the next best thing, leaving the materials that were most needed, and crossing out the rest.

In the end, there were only three gold-level materials left on the list, and more than a dozen materials that were less than gold-level.

This list made Sergei's face a little better.

"You kid is really greedy, more greedy for money than me! I can tell you in advance, you need to take out these materials in the alchemy competition, but you are not allowed to swallow them privately! Sergei looked into Ji Ran's eyes and warned him.

Ji Ran smiled awkwardly: "Ha, how could I swallow ...... privately"

Sergei also laughed and knocked Ji Ran on the head: "Solan is my old friend, even if you have a bad idea, don't hit him!" You just need to help him win the championship, and the thank you he gives you is enough to satisfy you. ”

Ji Ran touched his nose embarrassedly: "It's just a joke, who will really give that kind of list?" But these are very important, and I'm definitely going to use them in the Alchemy Tournament. Oh yes, the finished products refined by the Alchemy Competition won't belong to the Alchemy Association, right? ”

"Of course not! Oh no, I mean, the finished product of the last competition won't go to the Alchemy Society, it's something you've made yourself. However, the products produced by the previous competitions were recycled by the Alchemy Association. After all, they also have to control the cost, don't they? Sergei squeezed his eyes at Ji Ran.

Ji Ran let out a long sigh: "Okay, then I'm fine." By the way, as an additional question, Krees will also participate in this game, right? What is his goal? ”

Sergei sighed: "The same, also the first." It's just that Solan doesn't have much hope for Krees...... Occasionally, he would tell me if he was putting too much pressure on Krees...... So much so that he used to have a good talent, but now he is full of fear and disgust for alchemy. ”

Ji Ran also sighed: "Alas, no matter what world it is, education is the top priority......"
