Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

"Gorkan!"

"Master, what are your orders?" Gorkan, the fishman prophet of Lake Tokar, asked respectfully.

"These are fifty intermediate magic stones. Go to the market and buy as many third-level wizard apprentice monsters as you can. Remember, the stronger the better, and as long as the monsters are alive, I will do it. For research purposes." Richard ordered.

With this little magic stone, it is impossible to buy a living monster equivalent to the official wizard level.

Therefore, Richard could only settle for the next best thing and purchase monsters at the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

Although Gorkan looked confused, he quickly replied: "Master, do you have any requirements on the type of monster?"

"There are no requirements. Just as I said just now, the stronger the better, and only living monsters are required."

"As you command, Master!"

Looking at Gorkan walking away, Richard couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The acquisition of living monsters is naturally not for the so-called research. Although there is a little bit of research, the main reason is that I have no energy points.

At present, this is a living problem before my eyes.

Although I had thought about other ways before, such as teaming up with Disol and others to explore the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, the lowest level fire elements there were all in the mid-level of first-level wizards, and my own strength was only first-level. First paragraph.

Although I have some means to keep the bottom of the box, I still can't ensure safety with a high probability, so I can only give up the option of exploring the Scorched Earth Secret Realm for the time being.

Richard also thought about taking his newly acquired subordinate, the first-level wizard Gorkan, to search for powerful monsters in the wild.

However, the recent blood sacrifice incidents of small and medium-sized tribes have caused dangers around Tuge City. What's more, Richard had some bad premonitions before, so he had no choice but to give up this option.

After much deliberation, purchasing live monsters and then killing them yourself should be the safest method.

Although, the price of living monsters is five to ten times that of dead monsters.

With his current assets, he cannot acquire many living monsters. However, as long as the new beer business starts, he can treat the acquisition of living monsters as a long-term business.

You can even hire official wizards to help you hunt monsters directly within the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood by issuing tasks.

——

Early the next morning.

After Richard completed his assigned work, he took out the exquisite mithril emblem and started playing with it.

Normally speaking, the current mithril emblem should have forty contribution points allocated by the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, which was also the reward for his "hard" work over the past few days.

However, after a while, these contributions may be used by him.

Because in a while, Richard will use these newly obtained contribution points to check the relevant charging information of puppetry.

As for why not go now?

That's because he has just entered the laboratory for less than half an hour. If he goes out now, it will probably be revealed that he completed the production of ten alchemy combination bombs in only half an hour. This efficiency is too terrifying!

Therefore, Richard could only rest and think for a while before going to the data room later.

Although, according to Richard's mithril authority, he can access many contents in the gray dwarf database for free.

For example, the origin, foundation and production principles of puppetry, as well as some elementary puppetry products (gray iron level and bronze level are charged), such as wheat field puppets, wheat field harvesting puppets and other manufacturing drawings, Richard can check for free.

But these are too low-level for him.

Moreover, Richard did not have a large amount of energy points on hand for him to squander. Otherwise, the most violent method would be to ignore everything, and after learning, spend a lot of energy points to innovate.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, there must be a large amount of energy points available for consumption.

Obviously, Richard does not currently have this condition.

Now, he wishes he could split his energy points and spend one point as two points.

However, even if he had enough energy points, Richard would not choose the direct "triple jump" improvement plan, that is, he would choose a very powerful and extremely difficult puppet to learn and make.

After all, according to the past experience of the inspiration panel, if you don't learn the basics, inspiration will be like a skillful woman unable to make a meal without rice. Not to mention it consumes a lot of energy points, and the improvement speed is not satisfactory.

In a word, it is not cost-effective to do so.

The best way is to take it step by step, and then rely on the inspiration panel to improve quickly.

So this time, Richard planned to exchange for a blueprint for making a phosphorus stone battle puppet and make his first attempt.

As for why the phosphorus stone battle puppet was chosen, firstly, the material is not expensive. In addition to the operating core of the puppet, the phosphorus stone battle puppet is mainly made of reinforced phosphorus stone as its body.

Phosphorus stone is an ore with extremely high reserves in the Underdark. After mining and refining, it has very good hardness and adhesion.

Secondly, it is because the combat effectiveness of the basic phosphorus stone battle puppet is not low, about the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.

If Richard can master and make the basic model proficiently, he can add various combat parts to the phosphorus stone combat puppet, and its combat effectiveness can jump to the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

At the same time, because the manufacturing cost of the phosphorite battle puppet is relatively low among various battle puppets, there are many various transformation and upgrade drawings surrounding it.

It is a battle puppet that is quite popular among wizards who specialize in the puppet system.

If after a period of time, Richard can thoroughly understand the phosphorite battle puppet, he will be able to draw inferences based on this and use the inspiration panel to learn how to make other battle puppets, and he will be like a fish in water!

This is also the reason why Richard finally chose the phosphorus stone battle puppet after studying it for the past few days.

The information room on the second floor of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

At the service desk in the lobby, a row of gray dwarf girls were seen sitting upright in uniforms, constantly responding to questions and business transactions from members of the fraternity at all levels.

Richard came to a mithril level window.

"Hello, I would like to exchange for this blueprint and a junior control core." Richard took a parchment to the service desk of the data room, and handed the mithril emblem in his hand to the little gray dwarf girl at the front desk.

"Dip!" The little gray dwarf girl swiped Li Wei's emblem and said respectfully: "Dear Master Li Wei, your emblem contains a total of 40 contribution points."

"The redemption of the phosphorus stone battle puppet production blueprint requires 20 contribution points, and the redemption of the junior control core requires 20 contribution points. Are you sure you want to redeem?"

"OK!" Richard nodded.

"Okay, wait a moment, I will copy the original content into the crystal ball now. And this, this is the primary energy core, please keep it." The gray dwarf girl handed over a small gray iron box with both hands. Gave it to Richard.

Richard took it curiously and opened it, only to see a dusty square object about the size of half a palm inside.

It looked very similar to the kind of computer CPU chip I had seen in my previous life, but in terms of size, it was obviously four or five times larger, and the workmanship was not as refined as the computer chip in my previous life.

The computer chip of the previous life was a high-end manifestation of the integrated circuit. The circuit was integrated and packaged on a tiny silicon chip. Obviously, the logic of the gray dwarf's control core should be very different from that of the chip of the previous life.

But it is also the alchemy product of the gray dwarf empire.

Even the primary control core is the top secret of the gray dwarf empire.

Although Richard was very curious and wanted to take it apart and study it carefully, the packaging of the primary control core was very special and would self-destruct once it was violently cracked.

Therefore, Richard thought about it and decided to wait for a while before studying the secret of this primary control core.

As for the reason?

Don't worry about the backdoor issue.

Computer chips in the previous life basically came from abroad. China spent a lot of manpower and material resources to develop this thing because it was worried that the enemy would leave a backdoor in the chip.

In this regard, Richard has already had preliminary ideas, although the core of control is the top secret of the gray dwarf empire.

However, some related basic knowledge can also be found in the database of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. Richard did not believe it. After learning all the relevant basic knowledge, he spent a lot of energy points and used the inspiration panel to explore. Know the secret.

If ten thousand energy points are not enough by then, then fifty thousand. If fifty thousand is not enough, then one hundred thousand!

"Okay, Master Levi, your phosphorus stone battle puppet production drawings have been copied in this crystal ball. Please keep it." The little gray dwarf girl smiled sweetly and handed the crystal ball to her respectfully with both hands again. Got Richard.

Obviously, the contents of the parchment have been imprinted.

"Okay, thank you." Richard smiled and nodded. After taking the crystal ball, he turned and left the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood headquarters.

As a master of alchemy, Richard enjoys a very high degree of freedom within the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. As long as he completes the relevant tasks as required, he can freely spend the rest of his time.

For example, now, he has returned to his villa.

"Fingart, according to these specifications, go to the nearby puppet equipment store and help me purchase these accessories." Richard waved and asked Fingart.

"As you command, my master."

At this time, there was a noise outside the villa gate, mixed with the roar of an unknown beast or monster.

Richard smiled slightly. Hey, Gorkan is very efficient. He purchased the living monster so quickly. It seems that he can start trying to make phosphorus stone combat puppets later.

Sure enough, as Richard expected, the two huge iron doors of the villa slowly opened, and a huge one-horned lizard slowly entered the empty garden pulling an equally huge iron cage.

I saw one horned lizard one after another, a total of three one-horned lizards.

"Master, there are three monsters at the third-level wizard apprentice level, namely the giant thorn-backed fighting pig, the angry-clawed giant bear, and the dark water crocodile." Gorkan bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Very good, Gorkan, eh." Richard was very satisfied with Gorkan's work efficiency, nodded and said approvingly.

But when he was halfway through his words, he noticed that Gorkan's eyes were red, as if he had just cried?

Richard turned his head slightly and looked at the two wizard apprentices from the Tokar Lake fishman tribe who were accompanying Gorkan. At this time, he could still see the tears in the corners of their eyes.

What could make a fish-man prophet whose strength has reached the level of a formal wizard cry?

Could it be that.

"Gorkan, has something happened in the tribe?" A flash of light flashed through his mind, and Richard felt as if he had guessed something.

Richard's concern immediately made Gorkan break his guard. He could no longer suppress his sadness and cried bitterly:

"Master, there is no longer a Tokal Lake murloc tribe!"

"My wife, son, and even my grandson Gorny are all dead!"

Richard was immediately shocked!

Although I had heard Gorkan talk about the blood sacrifices of some small tribes around Tuge City before, I had always had some bad premonitions lingering in my heart.

However, he never thought that the situation would develop to him so quickly.

Does the man behind the scenes know that the Tokar Lake Murloc Tribe is now his vassal?

It's okay if you don't know.

But what if you knew?

This immediately gave Richard a sense of urgency.

Richard looked solemn and said with relief: "Don't worry, Gorkan, please tell me the whole thing."

After Gorkan calmed down a little, he began to slowly tell the news he got in the morning.

After a while, Richard understood what happened to the Tokar Lake murloc tribe. Unexpectedly, the entire Tokar Lake murloc tribe suffered a sudden misfortune and all members were killed!

"Gorkan, have you been to the scene?"

"Here we go, Master. The scene is in a mess. Just like the small tribes that were massacred before, there are only ashes left after the flames burned. No useful information can be found at all."

Richard suddenly fell into deep thought.

It seemed that his hunch was right, and the gray dwarf area was not as safe as he had imagined before.

Although from the current point of view, if he stayed in Tuge City, he should be safe, but he still had to start arranging some things.

For example, I have to speed up the speed of improving my strength.

Secondly, tomorrow you can apply to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood to strengthen the defense of your villa. This is also one of the privileges of the Mithril emblem.

"Gorkan, you first go to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood to report this matter. At the same time, you can check the relevant information to see if similar incidents have happened before. I feel that behind this matter, it may not be that simple." Richard Chen vocal channel.

"Although I can't guarantee you anything now, as long as the conditions are right, the murderer will definitely pay the price with blood." Levi slowly patted Gorkan's shoulder and said.

"Thank you, master. I'll go to the headquarters right away."

Although Gorkan did not obtain the mithril emblem, he also possessed the bronze emblem of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood due to his strength as a senior alchemist.

From a certain perspective, Gorkan is Richard's number one servant in Tuge City, both in terms of strength and connections.

Seeing Gorkan's rickety body gradually disappearing at the gate, Richard turned his head and warned:

"Stephana, if you don't have anything important, don't disturb me. I need to do some experiments."

"Okay, Master."

"Also, if Fingart comes back, ask him to send the experimental materials directly in."

Just when Richard was about to kill the three-headed monster first, the communication mark on his chest suddenly vibrated, and he sank into his consciousness.

Hey, it's Alhan's message mark.

Immediately, Richard checked the information sent by the other party.

The communication between formal wizards is more like the text messages in the past life. It is not that there is no real-time communication, but it is easy to be interfered by external energy. Generally speaking, the method of leaving messages through text messages is more common.

"Master Levi, hello. Excuse me. Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, Mr. Hawkins, the Vice President and Minister of the Alchemy Department, would like to meet with the Master. The location is in Vice President Hawkins's office. Is the time suitable for the Master? "

Looking at the content of the summons, Richard fell into deep thought.

Tomorrow, the vice-president of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, the head of the Alchemy Department who has always been silent, will take time to meet with him.

Richard had long expected that the senior leaders of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood wanted to see him in this situation.

The alchemy combination bomb that I have made in the past few days will definitely be taken seriously by the senior leaders of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood after it is put into practical use.

As before, Richard actually didn't have much interest in this kind of semi-official meeting.

Moreover, he had roughly guessed the other party's intention to meet with him.

It is nothing more than wanting to buy the formula of his alchemy combination bomb in the name of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Because the difficulty of making an alchemical combination bomb is not high, a senior alchemist who specializes in the branch of explosives should be able to complete the imitation very quickly after knowing the formula and disassembling the finished product of his combination bomb.

What's more, in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, there are two master-level alchemists who specialize in the branch of explosives. To a certain extent, the other party actually respects me enough to send senior officials to discuss this matter with me.

After thinking about it, Richard replied as follows:

"No problem, Mr. Alhan, I will visit Vice President Hawkins at nine o'clock tomorrow morning on time."
