Chapter 37: Geniuses
There are so many books, it's like a library......
Liu Mengchaoxin looked at the study in front of him, and the whole person was speechless in surprise. I was indeed a little surprised, I thought that alchemists were like magic, and I didn't expect something that could be performed by just drawing a circle......
"This alchemy foundation should suit you very well. There's a lot of alchemy in it, and I think you can try to start here. β
Repair. Taga took out a book that looked as thick as a human head and spread it out in front of Liu Mengchao.
"Circles are the basis of alchemy, and all alchemy begins with drawing circles?"
Liu Mengchao read the words on the book word by word, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin. I feel like I'm a student in my first year of elementary school!
"Uh-huh...... Is that so......"
On the other side, Edward's voice rang out. Liu Mengchao and Xiutaga involuntarily looked in the direction of the Edward brothers.
"Is it hard to understand?"
Repair. Taga smiled slightly, and a sense of pride couldn't help but rise in his heart. Although Fullmetal Alchemist is the youngest alchemist in history, he is still a master when it comes to synthesized beasts. The two of them are very smart, but they ......
"In this way, the most important thing between different species should be the fusion of proteins, right?"
Haven't waited yet. As soon as Taga finished speaking, Edward had already said what he wanted to say. On the other side, Alphonse did not answer, but continued to scroll through the book in front of him.
"Protein is important, but it's also important to focus on the balance of body fluids between two different species."
...... in this world ...... in this world
Repair. Taga turned his head incredulously and looked at Liu Mengchao. There was a look of fear in his eyes.
"Your name is Liu Mengchao, right? Right? β
"Huh?"
Liu Mengchao's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes narrowed.
"Questions?"
"In this world...... Is there really a genius? "Repair. Targa said as his eyes hidden behind his glasses kept drifting in the direction of Brother Edward. Those eyes were full of incredulity. After all, it took me at least three years to come to the two conclusions. These two kids. It's not half as young as yourself, but you can fully understand it just by looking at it?!
Impossible!
"Draw a circle? Some trouble......"
Liu Mengchao on the other side also seemed to frown. I saw him holding the book in his left hand, and his right hand carefully compared the graphics on the book, and slowly moved on the ground.
"It's a bit difficult, isn't it? Although Liu Mengchao has completed the refining of the human body, the basic knowledge of alchemy has been taken from your brain as a quid pro quo. I think I can ......."
"Buzz ......"
There was a soft sound, and there was no waiting for repair. After Taga finished speaking, Liu Mengchao's hand was already suspended in the air.
"Isn't that so?"
Liu Mengchao said as he pointed to the figure in the center of the circle with one hand. No, not so much graphics. It's better to say that it's a girl carved out of wood. Taga could swear that he could see the girl's curled eyelashes clearly.
This...... You must know that the more delicate and subtle the alchemy, the higher the requirements for alchemists! Generally speaking, no, even if a person like himself comes to refine it, and wants to refine it into a puppet with such a small score, he has not experienced eleven or twelve attempts. None of them will succeed!
But...... Right now...... This...... It's totally ......
"If you pay attention to the flow of energy when drawing a circle, it should help you in the final refining, right?" Liu Mengchao said to himself, and directly turned the book back a page.
"It's exactly what I said!"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled. Laughed directly.
Sky...... Talented!? No! It should be that the memory that Liu Mengchao already had played a role! It must be so! Otherwise, such a method would not have been possible without hundreds of attempts!
Repair. Taga almost burst into tears, but Liu Mengchao didn't seem to pay the slightest attention to his expression.
"Liu Mengchao, do you remember? Memories of alchemy? Is there something ringing out there? "Repair. Stars almost popped out of Taga's eyes. It's just that Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes. Turning his head, he looked at Xiu. Taga then gently ......
Shake oneβs head. γ
"No, I still don't have any basic knowledge about alchemy in my head. But I guess this kind of thing should be the most basic, right? And I just heard Edward's two brothers talking about synths, and I have a little bit of an opinion. β
"Views?!"
Are you kidding! Synthbeasts are said to be the closest alchemy to the human body, how can you, who have just forgotten all the common sense of alchemy, know!? You know, it's like building a thousand-story building on top of the desert, if you don't have a hard foundation, everything will collapse with a bang!
"There are clear boundaries between species, but we are able to classify animals according to their shape. If it is a pododic animal and a nonpododae animal, it should be relatively simple. After all, it's like giving a snake a heavenly foot, right!? β
Deceitful......
Repair. Taga was on the verge of crying. This is the question of the alchemy assessment I originally prepared this time! This man just glanced at the foundation of alchemy, and only heard Brother Edward talk about the refining of synthetic beasts, how could he come up with such an idea!?
Could it be ......
Repair. Taga shuddered uncontrollably, his gaze lingering over the two brothers, Liu Mengchao and Edward, before finally stopping, staring at the small gap in front of him.
Is it like a small space and an entire room compared to them? Is there really such a big gap between them and themselves?
...... in this world Is there really a genius!?
The reality is far more cruel than imagined. Taga believed incredulously what was happening before his eyes. There was no trace of blood on his face anymore, as if he had been completely crushed by reality.
"Ding Dong!"
Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly. I saw Xiu. Taga staggered to his feet and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he already saw the figure of an acquaintance appear in front of him.
"Is it ...... you? Second Lieutenant Shab? β
"Well...... Liu Mengchao and Brother Edward are still in your house, right? Ensign Shab said as he pointed to the slowly setting sun behind him, "It's already this time, and the colonel has called me to take them back." β
"Ah...... Please come in, please come in......"
Repair. As he spoke, Taga moved out of the way in front of him, allowing Second Lieutenant Shab to follow him.
"By the way, how are they studying in your house?" As the two of them walked, Second Lieutenant Shab chatted casually.
"These three people, no matter how you look at them, are like geniuses in alchemy...... "Xiu. Taga said, stopping abruptly. His stubble-covered chin looked even more lonely at this moment.
"It was only when I saw the three of them that I could feel the difference in talent between them...... Let's be honest...... I have some ...... Jealousy! β
Repair. Taga said as he gently pushed his glasses. The sunlight reflected off his lenses and shone right on his daughter.
"Compared to them, you have a lovely daughter!"
As he spoke, Second Lieutenant Shabu crouched down with a flattering smile on his face.
"Hello, Nina?"
"Hmmm! Father! Father! They seem to be still reading! Nina politely addressed Xiu. Taga nodded, and said with a serious expression on his face, "They haven't said anything yet!" β
Is it?
Superhuman concentration? Even if they are already geniuses and clever to such an extent, in this most mortal realm, are they still a lot above themselves!?
Unforgivable!
Repair. Taga felt an endless flame rise in his chest, and he couldn't wait to crush it all. But in the next second, the cold water of reality has been poured on the repair. On the head of Taga. He calmed down again, and both Edward and the man named Liu Mengchao looked like promising alchemists.
Compared to them, I am an old radio that can be thrown in the trash.
"That's right......"
As if remembering something, Second Lieutenant Shab suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?!"
Repair. Taga's face turned pale in an instant. But before Ensign Shab could speak, Nina had already bounced into the study.
"You're going home!"
The little girl's innocent smile suddenly appeared in front of Liu Mengchao's eyes. In just a short moment, Liu Mengchao's mind couldn't help but see Joanna's smiling face. After taking a closer look, Liu Mengchao found that this little girl named Nina was actually about the same age as Joanna.
It's really funny to be able to see such a scene here. Liu Mengchao thought about it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Big brother, you look good when you laugh!"
Nina said as she walked into Liu Mengchao. I saw this little girl tilting her head with excitement on her face, and a pair of big eyes flashing brightly in front of Liu Mengchao.
"Hmm...... Then I'm going to have to smile more. β
Liu Mengchao smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on Nina's face.
At this moment, a stranger's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Repair. Mr. Tagga, Roy. Colonel Mastan has asked me to inform you that the review of your national alchemist is very close, and everyone is looking forward to your research. (To be continued......)
