The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

Kong Ming was simply crazy with excitement

Today, when he was routinely testing the exotic flowers and herbs on Zhenshou Island, he found that the massive rhizomes of a vine growing in the woods of Zhenshou Island contained medicinal ingredients similar to those of groundroot grass. The degree is over 95%.

It's a little worse, but it doesn't matter, it can be processed through purification and other means.

If the magic node discovered here a few months ago can make the power that Kong Ming can control become more powerful, then today's discovery can make Kong Ming himself more powerful.

Holding the testing and comparison data in his hands, Kong Ming felt waves of excitement in his heart.

Although at the beginning of the time travel, Kong Ming told himself that coming to the world of pirates was great, and it was better than going to the world of Warcraft. But in fact, Kong Ming knew very well in his heart that neither of these was actually a good thing. It was just the difference between ten deaths and nine deaths.

Even if the top masters in the world of Pirates are much inferior to those in the World of Warcraft, so what if Kong Ming, a human on earth who fights against the five scum, is hacked to death by pirates with dozens of combat capabilities or is killed by pirates with dozens of combat capabilities? What’s the difference between billions of wings of death flying across the sky and then being inexplicably burned to ashes?

The difference may be that the former's death is more painful.

Kong Ming admitted that he was afraid of death, terribly afraid.

He is completely unable to do anything like the other senior time travellers. Once he traveled through time, his mentality immediately evolved from a fat house in the city to a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles and is willing to die. Even after Kong Ming traveled through time for several years, he still didn't have the mentality of a warrior.

All Kong Ming could do was to desperately accumulate all kinds of things that could save his life. He worked hard to learn knowledge. Even when he was traveling as a traveling merchant, as soon as he had time to sit down and rest, he would immediately enter Karazhan and start. Fill your head with all kinds of knowledge. When setting up a stall in the market, he always had a book he copied in his hand and was reading.

He learned Common Language, Elvish, Magic, Enchanting, Alchemy, Engineering, and all kinds of traps.

He learned blacksmithing, firearms, swordsmanship, planting, medicine and anything he thought could save his life.

He didn't dare not learn it. He was worried that if he didn't learn this thing, what would he do if he encountered a situation where it would be useful in the future?

He forces himself to kill when it's safe, first to gangsters who try to rob and kidnap him, then to extortion gangsters, and finally to pirates who rob passenger ships. First, he shoots from a distance with a rifle, then he points and fires a pistol from a distance, then he puts a pistol to his head and shoots him. Finally, when he is face to face, he stabs the other person to death without his heart beating or his hands shaking.

He didn't like killing people at all, but he had to force himself to get used to it. Otherwise, in this careless world, what should I do if I fall into a life-and-death situation?

When he met Arrita, the first NPC who could conquer the plot mission, he immediately racked his brains and hugged her.

Yes, maybe that bastard Arrita might think that his encounter with Kong Ming was accidental. Kong Ming was like a ray of light. When she had just discovered how malicious the world was towards her, it came from the sky. The light hit her.

But Kong Ming himself knew that this was not the case at all.

Arrita will never know that one day, when a small traveling businessman who wandered to Navia City suddenly heard her name in the market, the light flashed in that person's eyes. She would not know how much research the little traveling businessman had done in the early stage and how much money he had spent just for that perfect encounter with her. She would not even know how painfully the young merchant who had just become a mage's apprentice squeezed his own mental power in order to take out the fraudulent orb that could change her life from the exhibition hall in Karazhan. He was writhing on the ground in pain.

Arrita may have thought that their meeting was destined by God. But Kong Ming knew in his heart that it was actually a well-planned scam, from Arrita's money to Arrita's people.

Arrita thought she shamelessly relied on Kong Ming and became a fighting partner, but Kong Ming knew that Arrita was actually a human shield that he deliberately deceived.

Without him, Arrita might have been ridiculed, and she might have finally embarked on the path of a female pirate, but she would never have started sailing when she was a teenager, nor would she have been able to sail in the short time she went to sea. Within a year, he had been stabbed more than a dozen times, and he had been on the doorstep of death several times.

Those dozen or so knives were supposed to be struck on the leader Kong Ming.

In this damn world, for Kong Ming, an ordinary person who has just arrived, no matter how well prepared he is, there will inevitably be times when he fails to take care of him.

So Kong Ming can now indulge Arrita unconditionally. No matter what she does, he can smile bitterly and start to deal with the aftermath. For example, if Arrita secretly takes tons of magic water from the elemental pool every day, Kong Ming only needs to make sure that nothing happens to Arrita and pretend not to see it. Try it with another person.

I am the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. You must not grab anything I didn’t give you by yourself.

So although Arrita is now very powerful, Kong Ming never intended to let Arrita act alone like other captains of the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, but always kept her in a safe place. So even though Kong Ming knew that Arrita's current personality was too out of the ordinary, which was not good, he still couldn't bear to correct her.

Because although Kong Ming can deceive everyone in the world, he cannot deceive himself.

He owed Arrita several lives.

All this is just because an ordinary person who traveled through time struggles to survive in this dark world.

Now, Kong Ming finally takes his destiny into his own hands

Although all the materials required for meditation potions have now been solved, this does not mean that Kong Ming can immediately prepare the medicinal materials and rub two flasks together like in the World of Warcraft game. That's it.

The environments of World of Warcraft and World of Pirates are completely different, and the plant components in the two worlds are also completely different. Even though the components of the two herbs are 95% the same, if the other 5% are not processed, , when configuring the medicine, the effect of the medicine may become completely different.

In the next few days, Kong Ming spent all his time in the alchemy laboratory. He put down all work except for daily meditation. He became thinner and thinner. Finally, Arrita couldn't stand it any longer and rushed in directly. The lab tried to knock him out with a stick and force him to rest. Instead, the trap set by Kong Ming in the laboratory was knocked down first. If the piercing alarm sounded and woke up Kong Ming, who was addicted to work, I am afraid that Kong Ming could work overtime in the laboratory until he died suddenly.

Of course, this is also because Kong Ming was too focused, so he didn’t even notice Arrita rushing into the laboratory. If he was under normal circumstances, he would have set up a shield for himself and blocked the few people at the door of the laboratory. The trigger-type lightning traps, the stun guns on the walls, the glass partitions that immediately separated him from the intruders, the pits on the floor, and the alarms on the roof were all turned off.

But from then on, Arrita never rushed into his laboratory casually again.

This is a good thing, right?

A week later, a bottle of blue potion was placed in front of Arrita.

"Is this the potion that you said, boss, can make you smarter after drinking it?" Arrita looked at the bottle of potion with salivation. "It looks delicious."

"Have you been brainwashed by the water in the elemental pool?" Kong Ming helplessly covered his face with his hands, "Why do you think the blue water looks delicious?"

"Can you try this bottle for me?" Arrita seemed not to be listening to what Kong Ming was saying at all.

"Of course not." Kong Ming patted a little paw that was trying to steal the bottle. "This is the first bottle of finished product. I don't know what effect it will have, so I definitely can't give it to you."

"Is it really not possible?" Arrita poked her face with her little paw, "But my intuition tells me that this thing is not dangerous at all."

"Sorry," Kong Ming replied decisively, "It's not right for me to only believe in science, and it's not right to only believe in magic. Anyway, I just don't trust your intuition."

At this moment, an old man wearing a housekeeper's uniform walked in from outside. Behind him were two crew members from the Aegwynn, and a man with handcuffs and shackles, who was tied tightly.

"Master, Miss." The old man nodded politely to Kong Ming and Arrita, "The volunteers you mentioned have been brought here."

This old man is Alfred, Arrita's former butler and now first mate on the Aegwynn. Kong Ming is referred to as Ah Fu. Kong Ming didn’t know why Ah Fu was not by Arrita’s side in the original history. He might have died, or he might have parted ways with Arrita, who became a pirate. But in this time and space, he has always been loyal. Follow Arrita.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ah Fu." Kong Ming nodded slightly in return.

This little guinea pig, no, the volunteer was once a member of the Batal Pirates. After Kong Ming captured them last time, he specially found a few prisoners who were thin and did not look like vengeful society. In his own mage tower. Even this time when they came to the Precious Beast Island, they were specially thrown into the prison of the Aegwynn and brought here.

No way, it is impossible to engage in pharmaceutical research without the help of mice, no, volunteers. Even Kong Ming, a famous entrepreneur in the East China Sea, a partner of the world government, a famous philanthropist, and a great benefactor in the East China Sea, can only find volunteers among the pirates who do all kinds of evil, instead of giving up human experiments.

Kong Ming believes that if these pirate volunteers knew what a huge contribution they would make to the world in the future by what they are doing now, they would be grateful with tears in their eyes for giving them this opportunity to benefit society.

Yes, the volunteer in front of me was moved to the point of tears.

"You two, please bring this volunteer to that shelf first." Kong Ming pointed to an ergonomic shelf that he specially placed on the wall of the alchemy laboratory. “Remember, all hands and feet must be fastened to ensure that the volunteers’ limbs cannot move at all.”

Listening to Kong Ming's words, the volunteer made a whimpering sound desperately and struggled backwards, but his struggle was completely ineffective. With the help of two sturdy men, he was still sent to the shelf. Locked into an x ​​shape.

"By the way, in order to prevent the volunteer from biting his tongue when he struggles," Kong Ming picked up a gag from his desk, "You two, by the way, install this thing on this volunteer. We are going to We put people first and cannot treat volunteers as disposable items.”

Kong Ming was very pleased to see that the volunteer was so moved when he heard that he was thinking about him so much. He was really moved. Kong Ming could clearly see that his whole body was running towards the ground.

After the two burly men helped the volunteer install the gag, Kong Ming directed them to put a gastroscope into the volunteer's mouth, and then he started to insert some probes for collecting body data. All tied up for this volunteer.

The "He He He" volunteers were so moved that all the muscles in their bodies began to tremble.
