Chapter 37: The Genius Alchemist
Alchemy can be said to be an unpopular major in blueprints, because relatively speaking, most of the players enter the game to feel the thrill of fighting in all directions, because only a small number of people in the real world have access to military mechas, which is why most players will choose fantasy mechas after entering the game.
However, alchemists play a very important role for a team, they can earn a lot of star coins by crafting rare materials, and most of the players who have been at the top of the blueprint wealth list for many years are also alchemists, and to some extent, these people can even influence the economic system in the blueprint.
The alchemist's daily work is naturally responsible for smelting, but smelting is also divided into two types, one is potion smelting, and the other is metal smelting.
It is precisely because of this that he is different from other alchemists. Although he has a great talent in metal smelting, he has created a divine weapon like Ice, but the wandering knight himself has to admit that people can't be perfect, just like him, in terms of potion refining, he completely belongs to the kind of Adou who can't be supported, so every time he smelts a high-quality weapon, he takes it to the black market to peddle it, and sometimes it can even be said to be cheap! The money obtained from it was used by him to buy the raw materials for refining magic potions.
"Why do you like potion refining so much?" Yang Lei asked curiously.
At this time, the wandering knight showed a yearning smile and said, "I like magic! Because, I think magic is a very gorgeous power, and it is not as vulgar as physical attacks. Ever since I was a child, I've loved books on this subject, and I can memorize Harry Potter by heart! ”
"If there was a mage class in the blueprint, I think I would have chosen him without hesitation! But I'm content with the alchemists, because they can also make magical potions from herbs. These flasks can be used to heal, restore, or create a variety of positive effects, such as invisibility, gliding, increased elemental resistance, mana regeneration, and more. They can also transform mysterious materials into rare new products to create many precious consumables. ”
Yang Lei listened to the clouds, but he didn't expect that this wandering knight was still a magic fanatic, but compared to the boring work of alchemy, he was not very interested, maybe this was the same as being forcibly instilled by Asimov with the concept and theory of mecha since he was a child, which was enough to make him outrageous.
"If you are so gifted at smelting metals, why are you so poor?" Yang Lei looked at the wandering knight with doubts, not knowing whether to believe what he said, in his impression, the alchemist is undoubtedly the kind of popular profession that can smelt scrap iron into gold, and seeing the gold in the baggage of the wandering knight before also confirmed his conjecture.
"It's a shame for an alchemist to do that!" The wandering knight's face suddenly became gloomy, if he didn't know Yang Lei's strength, maybe he would rush up and beat him up, but now, since everyone is in the same team, he had to patiently explain: "In the great metallurgical profession, alchemists naturally have that ability, but if you say this, it is tantamount to an insult to an alchemist!" ”
"Uh......" Yang Lei hurriedly laughed after hearing this: "I'm sorry." But I'm really puzzled, since you're so good at smelting metals, and you're also able to refine weapons, why aren't the Invaders' enhancements high? ”
On this point, the wandering knight unexpectedly agreed with Yang Lei's point of view, because he believed that the strengthening of the mecha itself could not explain anything, and the best proof of strength still lay in the pilot who controlled it.
Metallurgy, to put it bluntly, is to extract metal compounds from ores and use various processing methods to make them into materials with certain properties. In terms of weapons, it is probably the same, there is no doubt that pure ore is the fundamental factor that affects the success of weapon refining, just like ice, in which pure ice energy can slow down the enemy's attack speed, or even directly cool, and the hero of this is a kind of frost gas from the depths of the glacier road, and the wandering knight was almost frozen into ice in order to pick that polar snow lotus.
"Then what do you think is the reason for this gap between potions and metals?" Yang Lei asked.
After thinking for a moment, the wandering knight was like a scholar, and he muttered philosophically: "When the two metals are combined, there will inevitably be a third or fourth metal, even if it is an inexperienced novice, it is needless to say in this regard, but the smelting of magic potions requires a lot of adjustment, one wrong step, and there are too many uncertainties in it!" ”
"So, my esteemed alchemist, can you teach me the skills of metal refining?" Yang Lei finally made up his mind, he felt that he needed to try the unknown challenge, because it can be said that weapons play a vital role in mecha combat, although he has cold ice now, it is far from enough.
Suddenly, he remembered the two pieces of equipment that he dropped when he killed the Texque boar some time ago, and it was better to hurry up than to hurry, while the wandering knight was here, he hurriedly took out these two superb weapons, and wanted them to help identify the performance.
"Radiant Fangs?" After seeing Yang Lei take out two crystal clear stones glowing with a little holy light, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This is the fangs of the Wild Boar King?!" ”
Yang Lei nodded after hearing this, thinking that this person seems to be quite knowledgeable, and what he said before should not be a lie.
"If you are willing to give him to me, I can make it into an icy sword boring, which will greatly increase its attack power, and the person who uses the weapon can also be protected by the Goddess of Radiance once he activates the blocking skill!" The wandering knight swore by it.
The so-called sword boring refers to the handguard that acts as a connection between the sword body and the hilt.
Yang Lei didn't hesitate after hearing this, and casually threw the glorious fangs over, but when the wandering knight just caught it, he immediately shouted again: "The wings of the king left over from ancient times?!" ”
"Hell yes! Why are all the best products you take out that ordinary players can't even think of? Looking at Yang Lei, who had an indifferent face, the wandering knight continued: "Each feather is the wings of the king scattered by the ancient divine beast Fire Phoenix, which has the effect of fire attribute attack and wind flying, which can make players still have the ability to fly without controlling the mecha!" ”
"This thing is already the best, and it's not good if you add a snake!" The wandering knight looked at Yang Lei and said carefully: "After all, excellent equipment can only play an auxiliary role for the player, and whether you can defeat the opponent depends on your own strength!" ”
Yang Lei nodded and asked, "So what should we do next?" ”
"I looked at the fortifications here, both on land and in the air, they are too weak! If you give me the same resources as you, I can break through the gates and enter the Lord's Mansion in a matter of three minutes! As soon as the words changed, the wandering knight looked at Yang Lei and said with a smile: "Next, I will be your military advisor and assist you in building the strongest castle in the blueprint!" ”
