This was Charlie's first time in Anthony's lab.

The laboratory with a radius of nearly 200 square meters is filled with all kinds of glassware, bottled, long-necked, square, large and small, large and small, displayed in rows, the air is filled with a formalin-like smell, and all kinds of strange things can be seen through the old stains:

A heart the size of a head, tentacled eyes, a giant insect with a narrow metal sickle, a rodent with its skin peeled, a dark green venomous snake with wings......

When it comes to his collection, Anthony has a smug expression.

"I've spent more than twenty years enriching this lab, and it's only in the Arcane Ring that I've been able to collect so much. Following Charlie's gaze, Anthony saw a purple-red heart, "That's the heart of the mountain giant, it's the heart of the juvenile, the adult mountain giant can't even do anything with the Great Magister, I can't get it, the entire arcane ring can hunt the adult mountain giant alone There are less than ten strong people." ”

As Charlie's gaze moved, Anthony kept explaining.

"This is a mutated insect that only haunts the depths of the Void Storm, feeds on spar fragments, we call it 'Void Predator', this thing is a rarity outside, it can be seen everywhere in the Arcane Ring, when you become a Haoyue-level mage, you will have the ability to hunt it, a complete corpse, the academy is willing to pay 10 points, if you catch it alive, the price can be tripled, but no one wants to do it. ”

"Why?"

Anthony smiled bitterly, "It's too hard to kill! Potions masters like me go hunting, and the cost of killing one is much less than harvesting." ”

Charlie nodded: "Poor mountains and evil waters produce monsters." ”

"That's a brilliant statement!" Anthony looked at him in surprise, "like the Poisonous Wind Snake, the Fire Salamander, the Shadow Leopard, and the Tomb Spider, these are all common goods, and a large number of live animals are transported to Skyrim Harbor every week, not only are they of excellent quality, but they are also relatively cheap, and everything that can be exchanged for gold coins is a bargain." ”

Charlie couldn't help but smack his lips, the Warcraft market is an active big market in every city, like Haynes City, there is a thriving Warcraft Park, and the species Anthony just mentioned are all rare products, and the prices are basically above 100,000 gold coins, not to mention that the specimens displayed here are all unusually large mature bodies, maybe they are the kings of the group, and the price is not cheap.

There are thousands of specimens in a huge laboratory, which shows that Anthony's net worth is rich, and it also confirms Master Nar's words, how can someone who can become a master of the arcane ring be simple?!

"Eh! you can't just move around!" Anthony grabbed Charlie's arm, pushed him to the side, and then lifted the thick, black curtain.

Under the curtain was a head with a pointed mouth and long jaws, and the most striking thing about the whole head was an earthy yellow eyeball, which protruded from the eye socket, and the moment the curtain was lifted, a yellow light shot out of the eyeball, enveloping Anthony's upper body.

Charlie turned his face to see a dark gray faintly appearing on Anthony's face, the same color as a stone.

Anthony put down the curtain and exhaled a breath of turbidity, his complexion gradually returned to ruddy, "A one-eyed crystallized lizard king, one-eyed is born with the ability to petrify, you are not highly resistant, and if you are looked at by it, you will lose half your life." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and gestured around, "Don't move the things in the room casually, especially when I'm not around, otherwise, there may be fatal danger." ”

Charlie nodded repeatedly.

"There are a total of 2,793 kinds of Warcraft specimens and 924 plant specimens in the entire laboratory, and most of my life savings are spent on these things, and some things have lost their greatest value since they became specimens, and I don't know if it's worth it?"

Charlie asked, "What is the purpose of the teacher to make them into specimens?"

"Of course, it's for my lifelong dream. Anthony took Charlie and walked briskly to the laboratory table in the corner of the hall, where a large old desk was covered with a thick layer of manuscripts with various characters, and the shelves behind the chair were piled up with thick handwritten parchment manuals, some of which were quite old.

Anthony said eloquently: "At present, the potions on the market that can fundamentally improve the human body are very expensive, for example: 'Fire Demon Elixir', which can make people have a talent for fire, but refining a bottle of Fire Demon Elixir requires at least one Fire Demon Heart, how many Fire Demons are there in the Vagland Continent, how many will be discovered, and how many can be killed?"

This has created a phenomenon where only a small number of people can get the opportunity to change their fate, and people like you and me, who are not very talented, can only succumb to the arrangement of fate.

I must find a relatively cheap potion that can improve people's physique and talent!"

No wonder his apprentices have run out, this is a great and illusory dream, a similar subject on the earth, called gene technology, is a discipline, the earthlings have studied for six centuries, with the help of the power of artificial intelligence, it is only a little successful, and here, Mentor Anthony is fighting alone, and I don't know if his research direction and methods are correct.

Charlie sighed slightly: "Teacher, it's really admirable!"

Regardless of whether Charlie's words were sincere or not, Anthony felt useful, and he said happily: "Fortunately, now with a little success, I have developed three types of formulas that can improve people's physique, which have been included in alchemy by the academy and become an effective pill formula." ”

Charlie asked curiously, "What are their respective effects?"

"One is called Primary Strength Mixture, I found a class of substances from the blood essence of a snow-capped white-haired rhinoceros, after drinking, it can improve people's physique, enhance strength, after drinking, it will make you feel energetic for a short time, and after a week, it can probably increase the strength of two to three percent, and where is the limit of its promotion, I haven't tested it carefully. As he spoke, Anthony took out a bottle of yellowish potion from the cabinet on one side and put it in front of Charlie's eyes, "Do you want to try its effect?"

Charlie silently opened the cap of the bottle and poured it down, the medicine was greasy in the mouth, the taste was faint, and it was not repulsive, but it fell into the stomach, but it was like swallowing a pot of hot wine, baking the whole stomach warm, and the spirit was awe-inspiring.

Anthony was surprised and moved, and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid that it's a bottle of poison?"

Charlie smiled indifferently, "If the teacher wants to deal with me, there is no need to be so troublesome at all." ”

"How do you feel?"

Charlie closed his eyes and felt that the chip also began to scan the whole body, feeling a stream of heat seeping out of the digestive system, slowly entering the blood, and then flowing throughout the body, bone cells, muscle cells, under the nourishment of this heat, slowly changed, the activity was enhanced, the division began to accelerate, these microscopic changes can only be scanned by the chip.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, "The change is very subtle, and the effect may not be as obvious as imagined, but I have a suggestion. ”

"You say. ”

"In my hometown, there is a method called medicinal diet, that is, adding some medicine to the daily diet to replenish the body, and with some training, to achieve the effect of enhancing physical fitness and strength, the effect is very good, I think maybe the teacher can get some inspiration from it.

It is reasonable that the human body absorbs the medicinal properties is a gradual process, one breath can not make up for a fat man, this must require a cycle, in addition, the outside world also needs corresponding stimulation to promote this process, so exercise is an indispensable auxiliary means, in addition to these, we also need to pay attention to the appropriate dose, the right frequency, the right way to intake, some may need to be taken orally, some need to breathe, and some need to be injected.

Teacher, do you think it makes sense?" Charlie tried to popularize some knowledge of the earth to Anthony, for fear that this potions maniac would go to extremes and ignore the basic laws of everything.

Anthony froze......

Suddenly, he slapped his palm on the table, slapped the manuscript all over the ground, and then pulled his hair vigorously, and the crazy appearance startled Charlie.

Immediately, Anthony showed a bitter expression and looked lonely, "Before this, I had been looking for a breakthrough plan for the effect of the potion, but I never had a clue, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with my thinking."

Charlie, you woke me up, I want to thank you!"

"Did the teacher think of a solution?" Charlie was surprised, and he only reminded him that he had not thought of a good solution.

Anthony shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The principle of medicinal diet you said may be able to improve the effect of the medicine, and for this, it still needs to be demonstrated through multiple rounds of tests."

The reason I'm excited is because I've realized that the method I've been sticking to for the past 20 years may be a mistake!

There are nearly 4,000 kinds of specimens in the laboratory with various characteristics, and I have had countless inspirations and many attempts, but I gave up because of the 'poor efficacy'.

I'm anxious to find a prescription that can immediately change people's current situation, and now think about it, how can those potions that can immediately cause qualitative changes be mortal things?! Isn't the Flame Demon Elixir a living example?! Why didn't I think of this in the first place?!"

After the enlightenment, it was self-denial, and Anthony fell into the inertia of ordinary people's thinking.

Charlie comforted: "Teacher, it's not too late to find out the problem!"

"Why is it not too late?!" Anthony glared at him, extremely annoyed, "I am fifty-seven years old, my brain has been rusted, twenty years ago, when my mind was active, fate took me on a fork in the road, and this fork in the road turned out to be twenty years apart! How many twenty years can there be in life?! What a tragedy! What a tragedy!"

"Teacher, perhaps...... I can help you. ”

"How can you, alone, help me?"

Charlie stretched out his hand and said, "Teacher, you see, this is the wealth of knowledge you have accumulated in half your life, maybe the plan is hidden in this pile of materials, why don't we try to review it?"

The teacher kept saying that he was too anxious, and I thought, isn't the teacher's current state of mind a sign of anxiety?

If you plant a hole once, you shouldn't plant it again, right?"

In Charlie's plain tone, Anthony was like drinking good tea, and he was suddenly enlightened, and the whole person came to his senses.

"Good fellow, I gave your teacher a meal today!"
