Sorcerer's Survival Manual

Ansair, who said he could not go to the county, learned later that there are Chinese medicine stores in this world.

The reason is that Dr. Ma saw that the books he read recently have turned into various plant atlases, and he also studied the functions of various plants very seriously. He casually told him that he could read "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" Book.

"But now many plants have mutated like animals. Although there are quite a few that haven't mutated, if you want to understand these plants, it's best to have a few books on mutated plants—oh, the few books you bought are not bad. .”

Dr. Ma, who thought that Ansel was interested in medicine, became a teacher enthusiastically. Although he looks like a Western medicine doctor, he has actually learned both Chinese and Western medicine systematically. Otherwise, it would be impossible to feel the pulse of the patient. See a doctor, treat minor ailments such as bruises.

Even Dr. Ma has a license as a pharmacist, and he is very familiar with the medicinal value of the known mutated plants. His skill in brewing medicinal wine is even better in the town. The middle-aged and elderly people in the town like to ask him to help with the preparation. After taking the medicinal materials, he went home and drank it by himself. It can be seen that he also did some research on medicinal materials.

This is really drowsiness meets the pillow.

In another world, most of the plants he saw were not the same. Ansair was very unfamiliar with these once-familiar medicinal materials, and he was anxious to find suitable materials to replace the man-made magical materials recorded in the alchemy notes. The potion formula for drawing magic lines and formations on the core is not familiar with the place, and there is no one who is familiar with the medicinal effects of various local plants to help.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to tell Dr. Ma and Kong Ru what he was doing now.

He wanted to add Kong Ru, not only because there were only three of them in the hospital, and everyone who went in and out together could not avoid each other, but also because after Kong Ru came to Anping Town, there were no patients who were too leisurely. He will teach her some medical knowledge, and under the one-on-one teaching, she has learned very well, so Kong Ru can definitely help him in the research process.

When Ansair called them together with a serious face, expressing that he had something important to say, the two of them still didn't know how shocking what he was about to say was.

They even thought the serious expression on the child's face looked a little funny.

But Ansair's first sentence stunned them.

"My family members are all mutants. I fell into the woods outside Anping Town because my grandfather and mother quarreled and were affected. And my grandfather is 90 years old this year."

Like the three mutants, Dr. Ma and the others didn't immediately realize what this age represented. They were just shocked that his grandfather and mother fought so fiercely and even killed their own children.

Without giving them time to think, Ansair continued: "I know that mutants outside don't live long, but the people in my family are different. They are in good health, and there is no danger of self-explosion with supernatural powers. Live longer than ordinary people." And not just a little longer.

"I have checked Brother Liang's body, and I already know why they are different from us. Now I am trying to solve this problem, but my strength alone is not enough."

"I need your help."

The two of them froze for a while before realizing what Ansair had said.

What he said suddenly did not stimulate them so much.

Dr. Ma swallowed, thinking that he might have misheard: "You mean you have a way to solve the self-destruction problem of mutants?"

Ansair nodded, with a slightly distressed expression: "I'm not completely sure, but I already have a general direction, but it's not easy to operate."

Does the child have a fever?

Kong Ru was not as calm as Dr. Ma, he raised his hand and put the back of his hand on Ansel's forehead: "The temperature is normal."

Ansair was stunned for a moment before pulling her hand down dumbfoundingly: "Miss Ru, I'm not sick."

"I'm not sick to say such stupid things." Kong Ru frowned, not believing what Ansair said just now: "So many scientists have studied for nearly 200 years but have not found a way to save those mutants, you How could a child do that."

"I didn't do it, it was my grandfather and the others." Ansair blamed it directly: "No one in my family has this problem, the main reason is that our power source is located in the heart, which is different from ordinary mutants .”

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, the two became dubious.

"Really, you didn't lie to us?"

"I swear!"

After hearing his assurance, the two people really believed that he was not deliberately joking with them for a while.

Doctor Ma's expression straightened immediately, and he pushed back the glasses he wore for reading newspapers, motioning for them to sit down and talk.

"Tell me what you think? What else do you want us to do?"

Ansair straightened his thoughts, and said, "I checked Brother Liang's body, and found that apart from the different transportation routes of the abilities, there are also problems with the location and method of storing the abilities."

They knew this, the abilities of mutants were all stored in the upper dantian.

Doctor Ma nodded and said: "There are indeed many experts who believe that the upper dantian is not a suitable storage location, it is too close to the brain, and once the power is out of control, it will affect the brain, so mutants will have mental problems before they explode. But apart from this position, the remaining two dantians do not have the function of storing supernatural powers, so even if you want to change it, it may be very difficult."

As the only doctor in Anping Town, Dr. Ma has always been concerned about the health of mutants, and knows no less than real experts.

Ansair: "At the beginning, I also thought about letting Liang Ge and the others change the route like me, but everyone is used to the current running route, and I'm afraid it will be unbearable to change their bodies rashly, and there are also some problems. an important question."

He reached out and pressed his chest: "In this position, at the center of the heart, there is a special bead, which our family calls the 'magic core'."

He originally thought that he needed to explain in detail to let them understand what the magic core was.

But when he said this term, Dr. Ma and Kong Ru were stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood the meaning of the magic core.

Kong Ru immediately asked: "Magic core? Is it a magic core that often appears in fantasy novels, taken from monsters like gems, and stores magic power inside?"

Ansair has never been exposed to online novels, but what Kong Ru said is quite correct.

Even when she heard the words of monsters and magic power, Ansair's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking that she had discovered her true origin.

But looking at Kong Ru's appearance, it seems that this is not the case.

He just murmured: "I don't know about monsters, but the magic core does have the same meaning. In the past, our family used to call supernatural powers magic power."

Dr. Ma said: "Actually, there are indeed many foreign countries that use the word magic power to refer to supernatural abilities, but Huaguo is still used to calling them supernatural abilities."

Regardless of this question, they are also very serious about the fact that Ansair has a magic core in his body.

"I heard your heartbeat before, there was nothing special about it."

If there is a foreign object in the heart, how can you hear a little difference?

Ansair is not very clear about this, but he still gave Dr. Ma a guess: "The magic core is a part of the heart. Although it will become as hard as a gem after it is taken out, it is still soft when it is in the body." The 'meat' can grow independently, so you can't hear it, right?"

Doctor Ma didn't intend to understand the structure of the magic core, he just warned Ansair: "Don't say this anymore, or you will cause trouble."

Ansair nodded: "I only told you, not even Brother Liang."

Kong Ru also said: "Doctor, don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Doctor Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Ru was thoughtful: "So, you suddenly started to stay up late, is it also because of this?"

Ansair nodded guiltily.

"No wonder Liang Bang and the others came here to remind us that it was for this purpose."

"Okay, don't discuss this issue, Xiao An, tell me what you plan to do now."

Ansair spoke out his idea of ​​making an artificial magic core.

Doctor Ma asked him: "Are you sure the artificial magic core can be used by mutants?"

"It should be feasible." Ansair nodded, while explaining vaguely: "Someone used it before."

He didn't say who used it. Dr. Ma and Kong Ru thought that the mutants in this world had never heard of a magic core, so they automatically thought that the person he said was his ancestor, or his grandpa.

In this way, it sounds very feasible.

The two looked at each other and asked him again: "What do you want us to do for you?"

"I need to collect mutated plants to prepare potions." Ansair said: "The artificial magic core produced by the formula I know is not suitable for ordinary mutants, and the cost is too high. I'm afraid I can't make it. I can try to make a simple version first, and improve it later, but I don’t know much about the medicinal properties of these plants, so I need you to tell me their characteristics.”

Dr. Ma nodded: "That's no problem. I still know most of the mutated plants. Even if there is something I don't understand, I can ask my old classmates for you."

Mutated plants have been around for 200 years, and of course it is impossible for human beings to ignore them. The new drugs developed every year are basically extracted from various mutated plants. Dr. Ma has a pharmacist license and knows a lot about mutated plants. .

He calculated which of his old classmates were working in pharmaceuticals, and continued to ask: "What materials do you generally need? I also know a few drug dealers, and I can ask them to buy."

Ansair shook his head: "The current formula is just a prediction. I have to try out the specific materials I need, so I plan to go to the Qian'an Mountains to see if there are any suitable materials."

In fact, this is the reason why Ansair finally decided to have a showdown with them - if he went into the mountains to find potion materials, he would not be able to return in a day, if he didn't tell them the truth, how could he have any excuse disappeared for several days.

"Enter the mountain?! No way!" Doctor Ma immediately objected when he heard that he was going to the Qian'an Mountain Range, "There are mutant beasts everywhere in that mountain, and even a large group of mutants would be dangerous if they go in together. I don't agree with you. "

Kong Ru was more nervous than Dr. Ma: "Yeah, it's so dangerous inside. I've never heard of anyone who went in and came out alive. You must not go in."

"Don't worry, listen to me." Ansair quickly comforted him: "I'm just walking around the foot of the mountain, don't worry, my power level is higher than Brother Liang, enough to protect myself, ordinary mutant beasts It can't hurt me, and even if I encounter a powerful one, I can teleport through space, and if I run away, no beast can catch up to me."

"That's too dangerous, you child..."

"I can really protect myself." Ansair said seriously: "Uncle Ma, Miss Ru, I know you are worried about me, but Brother Liang and the others are my saviors, I have to repay this favor, you always Can't I just do nothing and watch them die?"

The firmness in the boy's eyes hurt them a little.

As he said, anyone can wait, but Liang Bang is already 30 years old, and a breakthrough is imminent. No one knows whether he can make it through. Let Dr. Ma stop Ansair regardless of his life, he can't say this .

But Ansair couldn't be allowed to go to the Qian'an Mountains alone, it was too dangerous there.

Seeing that they were a little shaken, Ansair simply used a space transfer to show off his strength.

Kong Ru and the two only saw that Ansair suddenly disappeared in front of them, and a few seconds later, he reappeared with a piece of rice in his hand.

"The directional transfer of my space ability can reach a distance of up to 1000 meters, and it can be used continuously. Do you think I can't outrun those mutant beasts like this?"

I really don't think that his instantaneous movement speed has almost caught up to 1000 meters per second, even the fastest mutant beast can't run him.

The facts were in front of us, and Ansair was very persistent, so Dr. Ma and Kong Ru had to agree.

After convincing them, Ansair was going to go out early tomorrow morning.

He didn't plan to challenge their fragile nerves too much for the time being, so when he went out this time, Ansair was really only planning to look for mutant plants near the foot of the mountain, and he didn't plan to go out for too long, so he promised them before dark Will be back.

Dr. Ma was still very worried, thinking about whether to tell Liang Bang and ask him to go with him, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him.

But Ansair didn't agree: "It's summer now, brother Liang is a fire element, it's best not to go out if you can't go out."

Kong Ru said, "What about Qian Bin and Wei Zihua? They are not of the fire element, and will not be affected by the weather."

Ansair was helpless: "But their ability level is not high enough."

Only then did Kong Ru suddenly realize, yes, Liang Bang is still a powerful mutant, but Qian Bin and Wei Zihua's supernatural powers are not enough. If you bring them, you don't know who will take care of whom.

When Ansair finished talking and went back to the dormitory, Dr. Ma and Kong Ru stared at his back with hidden worries.

"Doctor, do you think what Xiao An said is true? Why does it sound like a story to me, not true at all?"

"...I'm also confused."

"Then you still let Xiao An go?"

"Xiao An is not a liar. He has said so, so it can't be a lie, right? And I don't believe you didn't find that there is something special about Xiao An. It always gives me the feeling that he is not an ordinary person. "

If it wasn't for respecting the elderly, Kong Ru could not wait to give him a blank stare: "Of course he is not an ordinary person, he is a mutant!"

Doctor Ma said angrily, "You know what I mean!"

Of course I know. Ansair is not a liar. After getting along for a long time, you can find out that he has a lot of secrets, but if people don’t want to tell them, they can’t force them. What else?

It's just that these secrets are really scary. The two people who suspected that they were dreaming didn't even bother to ask him how he could make a man-made magic core, and where did he get the confidence to improve something that sounds very tall when he can test himself? , but seeing his confident appearance, they couldn't even say they disagreed.

So what else can I do, I can only let him go.

"It's a good thing for a child to have self-confidence at a young age. Even if he fails in the end, at least he has a good attitude. If he wants to come to Liang Bang, he won't say anything."

They may even be the same as them. Although they agreed verbally, they probably didn't have much expectation in their hearts.

Ansel didn't know that the people around him were not optimistic about his experimental plan, and everyone thought he couldn't do it. Right now, he was playing with a few sesame-like animal cores in the room.

The two remaining eggs of the mutated bird also hatched one after another in the past few days. Just as Ansel thought, the animal nucleus in the newly hatched bird was the largest, and the animal nucleus of the largest chick was in their He disappeared on the third day after being caught.

The first chick whose core had been removed did not have any adverse reactions these days. It was still full of vigor and yelled every day to beg for food from its parents, with a voice no less than that of its older brothers (sisters).

After making sure that this minor operation had no bad effect on it, Ansair dug out the beast cores of the remaining three chicks one after another.

At first, the two parent birds were afraid that he would do something to the chicks, but when they saw that their children were still running around, they couldn't be bothered to guard against his actions of catching the chicks—otherwise, what should they do? Every time this human catches chicks, they tie them up so tightly that they cannot move.

After a period of time, their family got used to the life of a bird in a cage, and they thought it was not bad?

But Ansair didn't plan to keep them for a lifetime. If the animal nucleus was dug out, these mutated birds would be useless. He planned to send them back tomorrow.

Moreover, according to Ansair's observation, the nucleus of the mutant bird cubs is relatively small among the mutant beasts, and the beast nucleus in the heads of the larger mutant beast cubs is relatively much larger, although it is only sesame seeds. difference from rice.

However, other large mutant beasts are not easy for him to pack and bring back. Newborn cubs cannot be separated from the mother beast. If the cub dies, he has to bring the mother beast with him. How can his room be closed.

——So next time, it’s better to use local materials directly, dig a few more animal cores, and have more experimental materials.

Ansair was thinking about something, and brought over the test tube on the table.

There was only one drop of green potion in the test tube, but four animal nuclei had leaked into the potion.

The four animal cores were taken out at different times, and their natural sizes were also different. The two largest ones were taken out immediately after two bird eggs hatched, the smaller one was taken out by his hands for the first time, and the smallest one was taken out by hand. , is the animal nucleus of the second child among the chicks.

When Ansair took it out for the first time, the animal core would continue to shrink and eventually disappear, but the effect of the potion was better than he expected. The animal core that was put in did not change after a few days, and it was well preserved. .

This gave Ansair a new idea. The method of making these beast cores grow again can be studied from this potion.

And this green potion is a kind of potion that can preserve the activity and freshness of magic materials. The magic materials for making this potion are very common, and the process of making it is not difficult. Regardless of the quality, even apprentices can make it After coming out, alchemists often use it to preserve the fresh flesh and internal organs of some monsters, so they named it Preservative Potion.

Preservative potions are divided into grades. Ansair's bottle is a high-grade preservative potion that can even preserve the flesh and blood of high-level monsters. Second, there are low-level potions that can only preserve the flesh and blood of low-level monsters. It can be said that it is very extravagant to put a few beast cores without magic power.

After observing the situation of several beast cores and confirming that they remained stable today, Ansair took out the various mutated plants collected before, compared them with the books he bought, and continued to read and identify them.

The mutated plants that were found with relevant information will be labeled by him. It is famous that the characteristics of this mutated plant are similar to the magic plants he knows, which is convenient for him to study later.

The animal and plant resources in the Qian'an Mountains are very rich, and there are many types of mutated plants, including common and uncommon ones. He looks forward to what good materials he can find when he goes to the mountains in the future.

Ansair, who was concentrating on learning about plants, didn't realize it was getting dark outside until Kong Ru called him to go downstairs for dinner.

At the moment, he was in the mood to eat, but he remembered that his mother would take him out of the laboratory every time he studied and forgot to eat and sleep. Thinking about Kong Ru's violent temper, Ansair obediently tidied up Good everything, went downstairs to eat.

I won't go out tonight. I'll stay in the dormitory and spend some time comparing the remaining mutated plants.

It is a bit troublesome for people patrolling at night.

——Put an illusion enchantment on the window, and it shouldn't be discovered. He stayed up all night again, right?
