Chapter Seventy-Nine: Creating a 'Sense of Adventure'

Mu You took out the fool card, read the instructions on the back of the card carefully a few times, and after pondering for a while, he gradually had an idea in his heart.

He took out the pistol he picked up yesterday in Qubai Mountain, loaded it with a magazine, and turned on the insurance.

Then he looked left and right, fixed the pistol to a table a few meters away, tied a wire to the trigger, and connected it all the way to his experimental table.

After making all these preparations, Mu You stood in front of the table, put the muzzle of the gun directly at his head, held the watch in his left hand, pulled the thread with his right hand, and after exhaling, his right hand forced.

"Bang!"

The long line pulled, the trigger was pulled, and a bullet shot out of the muzzle of the gun, blasting straight at his head.

And at the moment when the bullet was fired, Mu You's body was once again shrouded in that transparent spherical enchantment, similar to the scene in the forest that day, everything outside the enchantment became extremely slow, including that bullet.

The bullet, which fired at a rate of nearly 300 meters per second, slowed down 360 times to a speed that any normal person could easily catch with the naked eye.

The table where the pistol was fixed was about three meters away from Mu You, and the bullet flew in his perspective for nearly four seconds before it could enter the range of the enchantment.

"Sure enough...... But the bullets are still flying too fast......"

Mu You shook his head and pressed his pocket watch.

Four seconds is too late for him to do anything, because it takes at least 10 minutes to concoct a potion, which translates to 1.66 seconds outside the barrier, which means that the bullet must fly for more than 1.66 seconds.

And according to the average speed of the bullet at 300 meters per second, he needs to be more than 500 meters away from the pistol!

500 m ...... Not to mention where he went to find such a large field, more importantly, ordinary firearms simply can't reach a range of 500 meters.

"It works in principle, but the method needs to be improved......"

Mu You touched his chin and pondered for a while, then went to the upstairs warehouse to find some copper wires and iron pieces, as well as a remote-controlled toy that was scrapped when he was a child.

The toy was dismantled, the various parts and circuit boards inside were removed, and a simple time-delay trigger was made with an electric soldering iron and copper wire.

This busy work directly consumed him for more than three hours, which made Mu You, a graduate of the electrical department, quite emotional, after many years of graduation, his hands-on ability really plummeted.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You fixed the trigger on the pistol wrench.

Since the bullet is too fast after firing, don't let it really fire, just create an adventurous atmosphere.

So the time of the delay exciter was adjusted to 7 seconds by him, and after he pressed the remote control switch on his side, the opposite side had to wait for 7 seconds before shooting, which was considered to give him two seconds of adjustment time.

Of course, Mu You is not sure if this idea will work now, so let's try it first.

Standing under the gun again, Mu You clenched the pocket watch with his left hand and pressed the remote control with his right hand.

As a result, half a second passed, and there was no movement around him.

Mu You wasn't too surprised by this, after all, he didn't feel any tension in his heart now.

After a moment's thought, he suddenly turned his back to the muzzle of the gun, and silently said in his mind, 'I won't move a single step for the next ten seconds.'"

This is not just a simple idea, but an extremely serious intention.

He kept hinting to himself that even if death came next, he would definitely carry out this order.

And at the moment when this thought came to him, Mu You only felt that his body was light, and a familiar sense of security enveloped him.

When I opened my eyes, sure enough, the transparent light mask had resurfaced in front of me.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he guessed correctly, the trigger of the Fool's Enchantment, the setting of the environment is only a part, and more importantly, the psychological factor, as long as he can think that he is in a crisis in his heart, he can trigger the protection of the enchantment.

Once you've confirmed that you'll be able to trigger the Fool's Enchantment, the rest will be much easier.

Mu You retraced the time, first set up the still in front of him, and made half a bottle of distilled water, which was also one of the materials described in the recipe scroll.

Later, all kinds of hay herbs were ground into powder with a mortar and set aside for later use.

After making these preparations, Mu You placed the pocket watch outside the range of the enchantment, where he could reach it as soon as he stretched out his hand.

The alcohol lamp was then lit and the crucible was erected.

In addition to the materials for potion refining, the most important point is the heat, and this alcohol lamp he specially bought is a knob alcohol lamp that can adjust the size of the flame, in order to cooperate with the detailed heat control on the scroll.

"First of all, the essence of the herbs......"

Mu You took out a piece of herb essence that he had taken out of the game earlier. The so-called herb essence is actually a pale green soft glutinous paste, a bit like jelly, Mu You threw it whole into the crucible, watching it slowly melt under the flames.

"Any Spirit Grass ......"

Among the more than a dozen spirit grasses that Mu You obtained today, he grabbed a meadowsweet plant and threw it into the crucible.

"Then a handful of ordinary medicinal powder is used as an excipient......"

Mu You grabbed a small handful of the freshly ground ginseng powder next to him. In fact, he has no idea how much he needs to add, but he can try infinitely anyway, and he can always try it out with a little bit of experimentation.

"Well, and distilled pure water...... Appropriate amount ......"

Mu You looked at the content described on the scroll and felt a pain in his brain, he hated this kind of 'handful', 'a spoonful', 'an appropriate amount' and the like, how big a spoon? How big a hand? Do you dare to make it clear?

Shaking his head, he opened the test tube where the distilled water was stored aside, poured half a tube into it, just submerged the three ingredients, and then picked up the glass rod and began to stir.

At this time, under the heating of the flame, the entire crucible had begun to bubble, and a strong bitter smell of medicine emanated from it, quickly enveloping the entire basement.

Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to the taste, after all the ingredients were added, the next thing was the most important boiling process.

According to what was said on the parchment roll, Mu You carefully stirred while adjusting the size of the flame at any time.

I watched as the potion inside the crucible turned from yellow to red, then to green, and finally began to faintly turn black......

Mu You already faintly felt that something was wrong, because according to the description of the formula, the final plaster should be bright green, and the lighter the color, the better, why did it turn black?

Sure enough, another three minutes later, the entire crucible exploded with a 'pop' sound.

The pot didn't fry, but the black hot goo inside was fried, and splashed everywhere.

Mu You depressedly wiped off the black paste on his face.

Obviously, the first potion concoction in his life ended in failure.

"Could it be that the adjuvant is useless, right?" Mu You thought to himself.

It is said in the formula that the medicinal properties of the adjuvant also need to be matched with the medicinal properties of the main drug as much as possible, so maybe the ginseng powder is not eligible? Let's try a different one.

Mu You was not discouraged, and immediately went back in time, and then started the second attempt.

"Smack!"

As a result, this time it was blown up faster than the last time.

"Come again!"

Third ......

"Backtrack!"

Fourth ......

……

After going back more than 100 times in a row, Mu You tried the combination of various medicinal materials, and finally found that among all the traditional Chinese medicines, the medicinal properties of 'Angelica' and meadowthread are the most matched.

Mu You felt that the material should not have been wrong, and the rest should be a matter of technique.

Then experiment and then fry!

In the attempts, Mu You constantly fine-tuned various boiling details.

After 421 consecutive failures, the 422nd attempt, finally! He had completed all the steps perfectly, the cauldron was not blown up again, and the paste inside was finally formed for the first time!

At this time, what was presented in front of him was a black ointment......
