8.7 per cent for option two, 47.8 per cent for option three and 43.5 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 3]

【Alchemist】

In this world, the fixed ability remains the same: [Identification, Quick Cast, Transformation]

Starting asset: A set of alchemical equipment.

……

"Then ...... Alchemist. ”

Zheng Zhuo clicked to the interface.

Then, he suddenly felt a sinking in his back.

Zheng Zhuo turned his head.

He found himself carrying a large brown leather bag. The big bag was bulging, wider than himself.

"That's what it is...... Said opening assets? A set of alchemical equipment...... It's so heavy. ”

Zheng Zhuo took a difficult step towards the dilapidated and depressed town.

On the winding road, a few horse-drawn carriages drove here and there. They flew away in the time that Zheng Zhuo was fighting with the backpack, and soon, they became a small dot on a distant path.

When Zheng Zhuo finally walked to the entrance of the town, the streets were empty, and there was no sound at all.

“…… No way. ”

All gone?

Zheng Zhuo's brow jumped.

"Hey—is anyone there—"

He shouted.

Discarded pieces of paper, cloth and wood were littered the streets. On both sides of the road, the windows of many houses were broken, and there was a thick layer of ash on top of the unbroken ones.

There should have been some shops in the town, however, most of the shop signs were badly corroded by the miasma and could not be seen clearly.

"Hey—"

Zheng Zhuo walked into the town.

However, there was no response from the dilapidated town.

The wind blew through the forest.

Only it replied to Zheng Zhuo and slapped the miasma on Zheng Zhuo's face.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”

Zheng Zhuo coughed violently, almost out of breath.

It's a terrible living environment.

He wiped his face and looked up.

"Everyone is gone......"

It seems that the people who left just now were the last of the people who lived here.

Zheng Zhuo sighed.

He opened the panel of the Collective Subconscious and re-examined his abilities.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Identity: Explorer]

[Class: Alchemist]

[Ability: Identification, Quick Spell Casting, Transformation]

[Possession: A set of alchemy equipment]

[Alchemy material: none]

[Alchemical products: none]

……

It's the same as it was said when choosing.

"Alchemy Materials and Alchemy Finished ......"

That's the key to this world, right?

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin and thought about it.

Then, he chose to call a helper.

In an empty town, of course, it is impossible to call out local residents to help.

He was going to call the two he had brought with him.

"Chu Huairen! Zhuang Yusheng! ”

Zheng Zhuo shouted into the air.

“…… I...... There was in ......"

"Ahh

Voices came from the air.

Two voices. One is talking, the other is yelling meaninglessly.

The person who was talking was Chu Huairen.

"I've entered the [subconscious world]. In a small town on the edge of a forest. Zheng Zhuo asked, "How are you doing over there?" What can be seen? ”

"I still have a high-altitude perspective just like when I was in [Evolution World]."

Chu Huairen said.

"I can see the distribution of the plots from above...... Right now, you're probably the only town in my view. It is located in the southwest corner of the forest, right next to the forest. The ratio of towns and forests to my vision is about 20:80. ”

And then ...... I can see some large ...... The umbrella cover of mushrooms? I can't be sure. However, most of them are concentrated in the northeast corner of the forest. ”

I think that's where the Caregiver Farm is located.

"Accurate. Thank you. ”

Zheng Zhuo said.

"- Wow, it's dizzy! Fainting—disgusting—vomiting—"

During this period, as the background sound of this conversation, Zhuang Yusheng kept screaming behind his back.

“…… Zhuang Yusheng? What happened to you? ”

Zheng Zhuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

"I don't know!"

He shouted.

"My perspective is dizzy! Evil—it's all sounds—it's going around—no! I don't look at it! Don't look at it! ”

"Hello? Feed? ”

There was no sound. It seems that Zhuang Yusheng temporarily diverted his attention from his mobile phone.

“……”

Zheng Zhuo pressed against his forehead.

What Zhuang Yusheng can do, I don't understand it for the time being.

……

【Situation of the town】

[Town Plot]: 20 blocks

[Forest Plot]: 80 blocks

[Small Town Manpower]:1

……

Zheng Zhuo obtained information from two of his supporters, mainly Chu Huairen. He wrote them down roughly.

But in order to use the information, he had to know what he could do.

After cutting off the communication, Zheng Zhuo continued to walk inside with a large bag on his back. He came to the newest and most sturdy house in town and slammed open the door.

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Dust disperses.

The door sign leaning against the door of the house fell "dang chang".

It reads "Mayor of the Town's Office".

"Even the mayor ran away......"

Zheng Zhuo slowly walked into the room with a thin layer of dust, and put the heavy package on the ground with a "hey".

"Let's see what I have."

Zheng Zhuo took out everything in his bag and piled it on the shabby wooden floor of his office.

A crucible, a large set of glass distillation tubes, mortars, flints, scissors, hammers, bottles and jars......

It is said that it is "a set of alchemical equipment", which is really complete. Zheng Zhuo's things that can be called and things that can't be called are scattered and spread all over the ground.

However, what Zheng Zhuo cares about most is the last thing he took out of his bag.

That's a book. On the jujube red cover, there are four large characters written in gilding.

Alchemical Dictionary.

Zheng Zhuo opened the book.

The first page is written in the method of alchemy:

Light the fire under the crucible, throw the [solvent] and a variety of [alchemy materials] into the pot, and stir according to the specified time and temperature to obtain the [alchemy product].

"It's easier than I thought."

Just looking at this instruction is easier than cooking. Zheng Zhuo thought.

He looked around and pulled a small rusty stove out of a corner. After dismantling the upper part of the small furnace, the lower part was just enough to be stuffed under the crucible that Zheng Zhuo had on his back.

Now, Zheng Zhuo can light the fire indoors.

"But ......"

Which are the [solvents] and which are the [alchemy materials]?

Zheng Zhuo opened the [Identification].

……

【Table】

【Chair】

【Book】

[Water]: Solvent

【Pen】

[White Grass]: Alchemy material

【Window】

……

A whole bunch of useless information jumped out. Most of them are just a name, with only a few with valuable suffixes.

"In short, collect all the valuable things first."

Zheng Zhuo immediately set off and began to search inside and outside the mayor's office.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Zheng Zhuo returned to the door of the mayor's office.

He was pale and gasping for air.

The air containing the spores had a worse effect on him than he had imagined.

"It was only a quarter of an hour...... Physical strength is ...... Not at all......"

Dizziness, pain in the throat and lungs, and physical strength as if drained.

Zheng Zhuo had to stop.

"Oops."

He sat down on the floor. The found items lined up in front of him.

A pot of water, a handful of herbs, a jar of yellow colloid, a small bag of wheat flour.

……

[Water]: Solvent

[White Grass]: Alchemy material

[Wood glue]: Alchemy material

[Wheat flour]: Alchemical material

……

What can they refine?

"I'll look at ......"

Zheng Zhuo flipped through the "Alchemy Dictionary" in his hand.

"Water as a solvent...... Solvent...... Pregnant. ”

In the alchemy dictionary, three recipes were found.

……

[Water] + [White Grass] = [Tea]: After drinking, it can temporarily avoid the decrease in physical strength caused by inhaling the spores of toxic vegetation.

[Water] + [Wood glue] = [quick-drying solution]: It can be used to seal doors and windows.

[Water] + [Wheat Flour] = [Biscuit]: Can restore stamina.

……

I see. Seeing this, Zheng Zhuo realized that the mayor who originally lived here must have used these methods to defend against the spores.

Water and white grass were found on his table. He must have drunk this a lot. During the search, Zheng Zhuo also saw the special ventilation vents with filters in the house, and there were also traces of gelatinous materials on the doors and windows. I think that when the mayor still lives here, he will seal the doors and windows with wooden glue, and then ventilate them to prevent spores from entering the room.

As for wheat flour......

It's usually for eating.

"Alchemy, it's closer to life than I imagined."

These three recipes look more like recipes or ingredients for making them. It can also be achieved in reality.

It shouldn't be difficult to refine.

Here's the problem, though......

Zheng Zhuo looked at the materials.

There is only one pot of water, and the amount is not much.

According to the dosage in the Alchemy Dictionary, this water can only be used for alchemy once.

So, which one to execute?

If you make tea, the amount is 1 day. In other words, after drinking, you can move freely for 1 day without being affected by spores.

If he refines the [Quick Drying Solution], he can reseal the mayor's office. After that, he was able to avoid the reduction of stamina by inhaling the spores as long as he entered the mayor's office. The effective time of sealing doors and windows is [30 days], which can be used for a long time. But after leaving the room, he was still affected by spores.

If you make a cookie......

He kind of wanted to try it.

Of course, this is not the only reason.

He had now lost all his strength from inhaling the spores. Eating a cookie will immediately restore your strength and continue exploring. Maybe you'll be able to find some other materials.

“…… It's worth thinking about. ”

Zheng Zhuo fell into thought.
