Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 483 The Eve of War

October, the 211th year of the New Wu Calendar.

Blue Star Calendar, 2043, February 2st.

When the players woke up in the morning, they noticed the difference.

Because the sound that called the players to get up this morning was not the sound of the bell in the past, but a melodious tone, as gentle as the caress of a spring breeze, and as tinkling as the sound of a clear spring.

Many players were stunned when they heard this sound, because the more they listened, the more it sounded like a guzheng.

"But...how come there is the sound of a zither in the game?"

Doudi was a little dazed. He was used to the usual bell sounds, so hearing this sound now always gave him a strange sense of disharmony.

It's clearly in the wizarding world.

"Don't think too much about it." Ye Ze said with a smile: "Maybe the principal has a new preference for music? Let's go quickly. We still have two exams today, Alchemy and Comprehensive."

"I really don't understand why alchemy is put at the end of the exam. Alchemy is what I dislike the most." Dou Di scratched his head in distress.

Players generally do not have a delicate control over magic power, so during the alchemy process, most players feel that the course is difficult and often require a lot of energy to get excellent results.

Moreover, most players believe that alchemy is less like magic and more like chemical experiments in the previous life, while potions are more like cooking - stewing something in a big pot.

Therefore, there are many players who don’t like the alchemy course, and Doudi is one of them.

Ye Ze was okay, maybe because of the material transformation, or maybe because of turning stone into gold, in short, Ye Ze was still interested in this course.

While putting on his wizard robe, Ye Ze used the cleaning technique to tidy up his body and said, "It's okay. It will be over soon anyway. Have you seen the game notification? You can have a holiday after the exam. It's two months..."

two months.

He could also spend more time with his grandmother, which was a good opportunity for him to see how she was doing and whether she had adapted to moving to the safe area. He also had a lot to say to her.

Ye Ze looked at his character panel and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In one semester, he studied very hard and finally managed to stay in the leadership class. Thanks to the resources of the leadership class, his level reached 60.

This level is the highest in the game of Place of Value. Even most of the combat players in another world remain at this level.

Going one step further, according to the game's level instructions, you will enter the heroic rank and have the opportunity to write your own epic.

This step is not so easy to take.

Ye Ze has seen players of other games in the Place of Value, and they all stop at this level.

It is said that in order to overcome this, one needs to hunt evil spirits and plunder something called characteristics from them, and try to fuse and splice them. Only after the hunting progress bar is full will there be a chance to trigger advancement.

So far, no one seems to have done it.

Therefore, judging from his rank alone, Ye Ze can be said to be the strongest person in the world, although there are many people who are tied for the number one position...

Dou Di also laughed after hearing what Ye Ze said: "You're right. No matter what, we can go back home after today's assessment. I didn't expect that this game can't be logged off during the school term, and we can't leave here. It's too restrictive."

"Be content, this is a real world." Ye Ze said with a smile: "Look at the time-travel novels, how can anyone travel to another world like us and go back regularly? You may never find your way home in your whole life. It's good enough that we can go back during the holidays."

"Besides, if I really let you leave, something might happen to you, and you won't even be able to be resurrected."

Dou Di shrugged: "I'm just saying that. I'm actually very satisfied. Zhuo Ling is waiting for us in the lounge area. She said we will be surprised soon. Has she prepared a surprise for us?"

As he spoke, he turned on the live broadcast.

After all, live streaming the daily life of the Wizarding Academy has become a side job for many scholar players. Who would refuse something as universal as lifespan?

Especially during the recent exam week, the number of viewers and popularity have skyrocketed, and the number of life rewards and life commissions received are more than usual.

"Strange, why are all the comments telling us to get out..." Doudi looked at it curiously, "Did something happen outside?"

As he spoke, Ye Ze and Dou Di pushed open the dormitory door, and all kinds of novel decorations came into view.

"Wow."

Doudi slowly turned his head, from left to right, from top to bottom, taking in everything.

"Now I know why Zhuo Ling said there was a surprise. This is so unexpected. The principal is really good at having fun. He actually gave the players a Spring Festival?!"

"Yes, it is indeed approaching the Spring Festival."

The originally dark blue carpet turned red, and both sides of the corridor were covered with exquisite red paper-cuts, some of which were cut into festive window grilles, and some were cut into patterns of dragons and tigers.

There is a couplet hanging on each dormitory door, with the golden font shining brightly against the fiery red background.

Dou Di turned around and looked behind him. On his door frame, there was also a couplet. He read it while shaking his head: "The touches of the magic wand write a brilliant future, the sounds of the spells paint a picture of knowledge, and the horizontal banner - Building a dream wizard path. Good, good, interesting."

Ye Ze looked at the person opposite him and said softly, "The runes are studied thoroughly to understand the mysteries of the ages, and the magic is deeply understood to break through the mysteries of the universe. The banner reads: Pursuit of excellence. It sounds good... but the tone is a bit too arrogant."

The two of them looked all the way while walking towards the rest area.

The torches on the corridor walls turned into big red lanterns. The light source inside the lanterns seemed to have magic. When touched, they would make the sound of fireworks exploding, as well as congratulations of "Wish you good fortune" or "Happy New Year".

rest area.

Ye Ze and Dou Di saw Zhuo Ling. She was standing under a huge calligraphy painting of the word "Fu". The word "Fu" was constantly flowing and changing into different shapes.

"Hi, Zhuo Ling."

Doudi shouted as he moved closer.

Zhuo Ling turned around, saw the two of them and said with a smile: "How about it, you are surprised, right? I was also surprised when I first saw it. It's my first time to celebrate the Spring Festival in another world, and it feels pretty good."

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and then go take the exam."

When they walked into the auditorium and saw the colorful Spring Festival decorations, they were even more amazed.

The gargoyles and armor at the entrance of the auditorium turned into stone lions. When people came over, they would roar softly and rub the balls under their claws.

The originally deep starry sky ceiling was now constantly exploding with gorgeous fireworks of various colors, and the dining table was decorated with ribbons woven with gold and red stripes.

The table was filled with all kinds of familiar foods: rice cakes, dumplings, candied haws... the fragrance filled the entire auditorium. Of course, many of them had been specially processed.

"I didn't expect that the Spring Festival atmosphere in Blue Star is getting weaker and weaker, but here it is so full of festive atmosphere."

After a big meal.

The three followed the crowd of players to the alchemy examination room. When they entered the classroom, Professor Catherine was already there.

Soon, everyone arrived.

Catherine smiled and said, "I am very happy to witness your growth over the past few months. Your talents and abilities are indeed far beyond my expectations. If you are interested in potions or alchemy in the future, I believe you will all become outstanding wizards."

"Today's test may be a little difficult for you... But it doesn't matter. As long as you try your best and show your understanding, you may be able to get an excellent grade."

The players have already stood in their positions. As Catherine finished speaking, the distance between each person widened. In front of each person, an operating table slowly appeared, with a crucible, separator, stirring rod, extractor... everything available.

Doudi raised his eyebrows: Practical class, not bad.

Catherine said to all the players, "Today's test topic is Dream Butterfly Wine. I will demonstrate it to you first, and then everyone will try to brew it after learning it."

"Dream Butterfly Brewed Rice is a special potion. After being improved by me and the principal, it has a very good effect on you. If you can learn it, I believe you will be able to use it in the future."

[Professor Catherine is teaching you the advanced potion "Dream Butterfly Brew Jane". ]

【Dream Butterfly Wine Jane: A high-level magic potion. After taking it, there is a greater chance of completing the level 60 advancement, and a smaller chance of failure. The failure level remains unchanged, but a 'magic disorder' debuff will be generated for a short period of time.

(Note: A special ritual potion. An improved and simplified potion of Dream Wine. Used for herding souls and merging multiple souls. The improved steps through the Condensation Method greatly reduce the side effects of the potion, but also greatly reduce the effect of the potion.)]

"Hero advancement?!"

The players below were in an uproar after reading the system prompts.

Everyone looked at Catherine with eager eyes, and their eyes of seeking knowledge were so hot that it was terrifying.

Katherine laughed.

She naturally thought of the time when she participated in the Potions Master, when she was just like the students below, waiting for the instructor's demonstration.

"Alchemy is a complex subject. Whether you want to be a potion master or an alchemist, you must have good knowledge of magic runes and magic circles. It would be even better if you can know some ritual-related content."

While speaking, Catherine had already drawn a large number of runes. These runes surrounded the crucible, and several rune chains were connected to the crucible.

Then, Catherine picked up a crystal bottle and poured clear liquid into it.

"We chose Ghost Tears as the base of the potion and added some soul dew that has submerged us. Does anyone know why we do this? Okay, Zhuo Ling, you tell me."

Zhuo Ling put down her raised hand and said, "We need to increase the resonance."

Catherine's eyes showed appreciation: "Very good, it is to increase the resonance and make the Ghost Tears adaptable in advance to facilitate subsequent changes."

As she spoke, Catherine waved her wrist, and an illusory light and shadow flew out from her wand and sank into Zhuo Ling's body, producing a cool feeling.

Zhuo Ling was a little surprised, but she didn't act rashly.

After a second or two of silence, the light and shadow flew out of her body, then returned to Catherine, turned into a thumb-sized ball of liquid, and sank into the crucible.

Zhuo Ling immediately realized: that was the dew of her soul.

After the soul dew entered the crucible, Catherine clicked her fingers, flames rose from the bottom of the crucible, and the liquid medicine in the crucible began to react slowly.

Catherine did not stop and continued:

"Next, we need to deal with Moonlight Grass, Nightfall Resin, Starlight Crystal and Void Dust. These are the materials we need... Put them in one by one. Pay attention to the potion structure I carved. This structure is very important."

Under her guidance, the silver flowers of moongrass slowly floated up and fluttered lightly, as if pulled by some invisible force.

Catherine was neither anxious nor impatient. She gently raised the tip of her wand, and the structure constructed by magic power tightly wrapped the moonlight grass. Several slender magic tentacles penetrated into it, and the extractor on the operating table was connected along with the magic power.

The petals of the moonlight grass cracked instantly, revealing the essence of the liquid inside, which slowly sank into the crucible.

Catherine took out another crystal bottle and gently twisted the bottle mouth, and the resin slowly flowed out like black oil drops. She flicked her fingers slightly, and a calm atmosphere filled the air, and then the oil dripped into a crucible.

Catherine gently moved the tiny crystals with her fingers. As she moved, the crystal fragments quickly turned into tiny dust, shining with bright starlight, and then merged into the medicine.

"You can use instruments to assist in measurement. However, when you are skilled enough and have a good understanding of potions, you will find that potions are not fixed. You can add materials based on your feelings to achieve the effect you want."

"Very good, the last part is void dust. This is the most dangerous of all the materials. You need to be extra careful when adding it. Don't let yourself be contaminated by this dust. Otherwise, the dust will continue to increase... It is easy to cause unknown things."

After Void Dust was added to the potion, the potion in the crucible became cloudy.

It's like a pool of mud that has been stirred up.

Catherine smiled and said, "You must be very curious. As a high-level potion, why do these materials seem to be auxiliary materials so far..."

"Because the main ingredients will be added at the end, the core of Mengdie Fermented Wine is the people who need to take it. Zhuo Ling, come forward."

Zhuo Ling had vaguely had this feeling before, and now Catherine's words undoubtedly confirmed her speculation.

Because of her positive answer, she got the opportunity to have the teacher brew potions for her. Perhaps it was also partly because her alchemy scores were the first in all assessments.

"Professor Catherine." Zhuo Ling came to the stage and stood next to Catherine.

Catherine nodded and said with a smile: "Let's get started. Relax and feel your consciousness. Then look at the potion in front of you. Touch it with your consciousness instead of your hands."

"Go and give it a try..."

[Player Zhuo Ling is influenced by Mengdie Jiuniang·Jian, and the visibility of her soul is improved. 】

Zhuo Ling closed her eyes.

She could easily feel her own consciousness and the boundary between consciousness and body.

What made her feel even more magical was that in her illusory soul vision, she clearly saw the crucible right in front of her, and the potion inside that exuded magnificent colors.

Unlike the turbidity seen with the naked eye, it now looks like a galaxy.
