Volume 2, Chapter 16: Potions
Seeing this, the old woman was quite complacent, and said with a smile: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it's ugly." After a pause, "Handsome boy, you are a thief, how many of the six exclusive arcane have been activated?"
"It's privacy. Shen Lian said half-jokingly with a straight face, suddenly thinking of something, and his eyes flashed. "It's just that it's not all activated, why are you asking this?"
The old woman smiled mysteriously and said, "If there is an opportunity in front of you now, which allows you to activate all the remaining exclusive arcane and even awaken new exclusive arcane, do you want to seize it?"
Good standard sales pitch...... Shen Lian smiled speechlessly, feeling that he had come to the wrong place and wanted the secret key, so it was better to go to the mad doctor to ask for it, so he said, "I don't want to, I still have something to do, say goodbye." ”
The old woman was stunned, choked, and didn't know what to say, but she finally ran into a door-to-door guest, how could she let it go easily, and said, "I have a 'magic potion', do you want it?"
"Potions?!" Shen Lian paused, turned his head, and frowned, "What is it?"
"Haven't you heard of potions?" the old woman looked a little surprised, "Potions, also known as 'second keys', are activated for a second time for an unfully awakened god level. ”
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What about the success rate?"
“50%!”
"What happens if the second awakening fails?"
"This ......" Seeing that Shen Lian was not easy to fool, the old woman rubbed her hands and sneered: "Under normal circumstances, there will be no sequelae, but there is a certain chance of triggering the 'decline phenomenon', and the most serious situation is to cause the death of the god-level Gu, and you have to start all over again." ”
Who would dare to play with you with such a big risk...... Shen Lian pursed his lips and muttered, "You should sell the potion to those Gu masters who have no hope of promotion, and they will take risks for that little hope." ”
"Handsome young man, what you said is not right, the Gu Master has no hope of promotion, so he can only choose to convert the god rank, but the success rate of the secret key is also very low, it is not as good as the potion. "The old woman is serious.
Shen Lian seemed to be persuaded, and said, "You also have a potion for thieves?"
The old woman was immediately happy and said with a smile: "Yes, I personally prepared it, you wait a minute." ”
With that, she turned and walked to the back door, returning a moment later, with a small brown vial in her hand containing some kind of viscous liquid.
"I can't sell you my potions key, but I can sell you the potions I have blended. ”
Shen Lian took the brown vial, and new information immediately appeared on the interface:
[The success rate of the thief Gu devouring potion for the second activation of the exclusive arcane is 25%, and the success rate can be increased to 100% if it consumes 1 point of bewitchment value, is it consumed?]
Shen Lian only happened to have 1 point of bewitchment.
"Only 25% success rate......" The old woman obviously exaggerated the effect, and then, Shen Lian bargained hard, and finally traded three "rotten mushrooms" to get the potion.
"I wish you success, I have other potions here, and I can come back whenever I need to. The old woman smiled and watched Shen Lian leave her medicine shop.
Subsequently, Shen Lian came to a park pavilion, summoned the thief Gu, and fed the potion for a second awakening.
A black-clothed and masked Lingming Stone Monkey slowly swallowed the potion, and in an instant, a faint smoke suddenly gathered up, enveloping the Lingming Stone Monkey, making him look blurry.
"Hey, this doesn't seem to be a 'stealth technique', and it can't be 'swift' and 'telekinesis'. Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly communicated with the thief Gu, and in an instant, wisps of gray smoke waved out from his body, spreading to the surroundings, and everything became blurred.
"Ah, in broad daylight, why is it foggy all of a sudden?" Someone called not far away.
"The fog is so thick that I can't see the road. ”
"Did you see that ghost just now?
......
Shen Lian walked in the smoke, observing the reactions of the people caught in it, and came to three conclusions: the smoke he released could obscure people's vision, and the sunlight could not shine in, but he could still see clearly, the smoke also had a certain degree of hallucinogenic effect, and the smoke shrouded an area of a thousand meters.
"I remember that there is such a thing as 'psychedelic water' in the thief's key, it seems that the old woman's potion caused the thief Gu to stimulate this ability, forming a smoke effect. Shen Lian was overjoyed, this arcane technique was too useful for thieves.
"What an unexpected surprise, this time I made a lot of money!" Shen Lian groaned slightly, naming this new arcane technique "Fog Concealment Technique".
"The secret key and the potion can just make up for the shortcomings of the actor Gu. "I'm afraid that Dr. Mad never dreamed that Shen Lian would improve his research results in this way.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is that the power of demagoguery forcibly increases the success rate of keys and potions to 100%, otherwise everything is in vain.
Before you know it, it's getting late.
Shen Lian had dinner, rested for two hours, and after almost nine o'clock, he took off his coat, turned into a night thief, went to the residential area, took advantage of the night to release a thick smoke, climbed the wall, and sneaked into a house through the window.
He heard the sound of even breathing coming from a room, pushed the door open and looked at two sleeping children.
In the next room, the lights were still on, and a middle-aged couple sat on the bed, one reading a book, the other reading a newspaper, occasionally whispering a few words.
Shen Lian was like a ghost, quietly walking around the room, and soon determined that the safe was in the middle-aged couple's bedroom, and waited until they fell asleep before he opened the door and walked in.
The hostess slept very lightly, rolled over, and looked at it with confused eyes.
Shen Lian hid in the corner of the wardrobe, and the dark environment and smoke enveloped his body, forming a perfect invisibility.
The hostess turned over and continued to sleep, Shen Lian walked out, approached the safe at the head of the bed, and spit out the electric eel gold thread.
Click, click......
While Shen Lian was turning the combination lock, the electric eel gold wire stirred in the keyhole, and in less than 30 seconds, a sharp click suddenly sounded!
Shen Lian immediately lay down and hid under the bed.
The hostess woke up, looked around, got out of bed, opened the door and went out, and walked to the bathroom.
The man's snoring was still ringing.
Shen Lian immediately climbed out and opened the safe.
Mithril, Black Mussel Beads, Shining Crystals, Petrified Human Hands, Unknown Withered Branches, Several Unlabeled Elixirs......
It should be all items that can be stored for a long time.
Shen Lian didn't pick and choose, brushed them all away, and then opened the window and climbed the wall to leave.
The hostess returned and went straight to bed.
In this way, Shen Lian went door-to-door stealing, stealing and leaving, and did not rush back to the Evolution House until the second half of the night, and fell asleep.
......
"What, it's another theft!"
Zhao Zhutou was a little anxious, since yesterday, people have been coming to report the case, saying that they have been stolen.
At the end of the day, there were more than 80 cases, and today there are more than 50 cases.
And that's not even counting those who didn't come forward to report the crime.
"Did the gang commit a crime?" Zhao Zhutou wanted to immediately organize people to arrest these crazy thieves and combat their arrogance.
"Alas, first there was Lord Xu, then there was the Prison Division, and the people in the yamen were all called by Lord Wu, so it seems that this case can only be postponed. "Zhao Zhutou knows very well in his heart that those gang thieves tend to travel around to commit crimes, and it will be difficult to catch them again if they miss the opportunity.
In order to do the errand assigned by Lord Wu, Zhao Zhutou was busy until midnight before going home, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the barking of a big black dog.
"Sorry for starving you all day, old man. Zhao Zhutou walked to the dog pen and made intimacy with the big black dog, and suddenly found a broken lotus leaf on the ground, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
The next moment, Zhao Zhutou rushed into the hall in three steps and not two steps, looked around, and suddenly his eyes were cracked, and he was furious: "What an arrogant thief, he actually stole my Zhao Qiling's house." ”
Zhao Zhutou was angry, counted the stolen items one by one and recorded them, and finally he was so tired that he entered the bedroom without washing.
Suddenly!
Zhao Zhutou's eyes almost fell out.
The inflatable doll on the bed, his beloved girlfriend, whose clothes were torn, knelt on the bed in a six-nine posture, with a piece of paper on her back.
"Wife!"
Zhao Zhutou roared heartbreakingly, picked up the paper and looked at it, which read: "On this rainy afternoon, I met your girlfriend unexpectedly, it was love at first sight, I couldn't help it, and I had an in-depth exchange, however, her heart belongs to you, I am just a passerby, I wish you happiness." ”
"Bastard! bastard! bastard!"
Zhao Zhutou was so angry that he trembled all over, almost fainted, and finally hugged the inflatable doll and cried bitterly.
"Yuhuan, I'm sorry I didn't protect you properly. ”
......
At noon the next day, Shen Lian woke up naturally and was full of energy, and went out of the bedroom, where he happened to meet the little girl Alice passing by in the corridor and asked her where Dr. Mad and Tris were.
Alice pointed in the direction of the lab.
Thinking about it, Shen Lian went directly to the laboratory, and sure enough, he saw the mad doctor, who was engrossed in staring at a few huge white tentacles on the test bench, looking at his watch from time to time, as if he was timekeeping.
"Big Brother Lorne. A tired Triss turned his head and smiled.
Shen Lian nodded.
After waiting for a moment, the mad doctor's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
At a certain point in time, the mad doctor suddenly picked up a knife, cut off a tentacle and threw it into a 1-liter glass, and then poured half a bottle of liquor into it and soaked it.
"Good disguise and clever dressing are one of the squid's specialties. As long as the bone marrow fluid of the 'crystal squid' is extracted, the key of 'Youling' will hopefully be studied. The mad doctor burst out laughing as if no one was around.
Shen Lian coughed lightly.
The mad doctor returned to the real world from his immersion, and when he saw that it was Shen Lian, he walked over excitedly and said with a smile: "Lorne, my lucky star, because of your appearance, my experimental research has been greatly accelerated. ”
"I've stolen a lot of stuff and come back, you can help me identify it, and estimate the value by the way. Shen Lian opened the mouth of the cave lion, shook it to the ground, and immediately poured out a bunch of things.
"So much!" Triss looked surprised and envious, "How many steps are you?"
"Order 5. ”
“...... I'm level 6, and it only took you two days to catch up. Tris's self-confidence has been severely damaged, and at this moment he wants to go out and steal like crazy and do some big cases.
