Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

Chapter 69 Introduction to Potions +3

No. 102, Dumitru Street, Secret Service Department.

Two figures, one tall and one short, held hands and returned to the Logistics and Investigation Department near the gate under the illumination of dawn street lights five meters apart.

Snapped.

A gas lamp lights up in the Investigation Department office.

Lacey let go of her hand and forced a smile, "Welcome home, Tina."

The white-haired girl's empty eyes slowly moved in a circle, as if she was getting familiar with the scene in the office.

After a while, she jumped to Wayne's desk with weird steps, "Tina, Wayne."

Her voice was stiffer than before, as if a hard stone was stuck in her throat, causing a squeaking sound when it rubbed against her vocal cords.

Lacey said softly: "He is fine. You saved him."

"Tina, happy."

"Well, you two are fine, we are all happy."

"Tina, it's okay."

Tina shook her head, as if she wanted to shake her head, but the stiffness in her neck made her body sway.

"Well, you and I will be fine."

Lacey bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with sadness.

She knew very well in her heart that when the death knell tolled, no one would be spared.

But, why is it Tina?

Why does such a small body have to bear the weight of the world?

Recalling what Director Alais said before she brought Tina back,

"Lacey,"

Alais's figure is still upright, but his eyes have become cloudy, "Be careful with Tina. She is hope and disaster."

"I don't have much time. It's up to you from now on. I hope you can delay it for a while."

Doom and redemption, sacrifice and rebirth...

How ridiculous.

At this time, Tina tapped her toes and jumped lightly to the window. She pressed her face tightly against the glass and stared directly at the red moon in the night sky.

For the first time, other colors were reflected in the empty eyes, "The red moon is smiling..."

Lacey walked over and hugged her down, carefully closing the curtains to block the light of the red moon, "Tina, don't worry about this, as long as you smile."

"Yeah, Tina, laugh."

As the words fell, the corners of the white-haired girl's mouth turned up, reaching her earlobes... showing a big smile, "Is that so?"

There was no smile in her eyes, and under the dim light of the gas lamp, her smiling face became even more weird.

Lacey forced a smile, "Yes, that's it."

"Tina wants Wei En, laugh."

"For him...it doesn't have to be like this. He should like you better when you're not smiling."

Tina nodded in understanding, "Tina knows."

Lacey watched her smile disappear, and sighed to herself: It would be great if she really knew, otherwise Wei En would be prone to psychological shadow...

[You successfully made a healing potion, and your potion knowledge tree increases the knowledge of healing potions, level 1. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

[You have successfully made a spiritual defense potion. Your potion knowledge tree increases the knowledge of spiritual defense potions, level 1. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

After carefully making three kinds of potions, it represents the official introduction to potions, and all three kinds of potions knowledge can be added.

"I finally learned it all. I want to add some points to Potions. The process is a bit more complicated than Runes."

Immediately afterwards, Wei En raised the levels of the enlightenment potion, healing potion and spiritual defense potion to the full level.

1/1,

[Enlightenment Potion Level 1 (1/1), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

As the proficiency levels of the three potions increased, a large amount of knowledge related to these three potions flooded into my mind.

Wei En only felt a headache before completely accepting this part of the knowledge.

"The quality and precise quantity of materials, the time taken to put them in, the techniques used to make them, the secrets of quality improvement..."

As he learned and absorbed the relevant knowledge of these three potions, he finally understood the basic principles of potion generation, the fusion and dissolution of the extraordinary properties of the materials...

So that’s it—

The source of the resentful spirit is the triggering medium, which will introduce the soul-beneficial properties contained in Naohuazi into the user's soul.

As for the soft feet of the sea octopus, its function is to absorb and dissolve the polluting properties of the other two materials, so that after the entire material is fused, only the beneficial properties remain.

The reason why the quality of the potion can be 100% perfect lies in the knowledge content provided to him by the panel.

This allows him to accurately identify the subtle differences between different materials and optimize the production steps accordingly, thereby producing perfect quality potions.

The effects of potions of different qualities vary greatly. For example, with inferior potions, the user can only absorb less than half of the effect.

Take the enlightenment potion as an example. The duration of inferior quality enlightenment potion is only 30 seconds, while the duration of perfect quality is 120 seconds.

In addition, the speed of recovering mental strength is also different...

Comparing the two, the recovery effect of the middle one on mental strength is many times worse.

After figuring this out, Wei En couldn't help but shake hands, with a touch of excitement on his face.

Different from being cautious when making potions before, now he is completely confident that he can make these three potions without failure.

To put it figuratively, after making it countless times, all the steps are familiar by heart.

He even knows clearly some steps that can be simplified in the production process.

"This is just the entry level. If Potions is upgraded to the proficiency level, how much money can you make?"

Wei En wiped the corners of his mouth and felt that he was full of energy. He wished he could make a lot of gold pounds now and become fat in one breath.

Immediately afterwards, he worked non-stop to make the remaining materials into bottles of potions that shimmered with various properties, and placed them neatly on the workbench.

"One, two, three...fifteen bottles."

Except for the three bottles of magic potion in the first batch, which were only of inferior quality, the other twelve bottles of magic potion were of perfect quality.

etc,

Are they all of perfect quality?

Wayne touched his chin and looked at the potions and thought for a moment, "These cannot be sold at once."

And out of caution, he had to deliberately lower the quality of the potion.

This is simple. There are not many ways to improve quality, but there are many ways to reduce quality...

He only needs to change the production steps, which is equivalent to changing the perfect quality potion equation, to achieve the effect of lowering the quality.

When you are weak, even showing some ability is a sin...

Wei En has long understood this principle, but has never put it to use.

After all, no one would expect a robber to attack the extremely poor.

Next, Wei En cleaned up the material residues on the workbench one by one, cleaned the crucible and scales, and then put the potions into the space ring.

"Finally, I have an ability that can make a lot of money."

It's really not easy.

I have been in this world for more than ten days. In addition to getting the basic salary of an intelligence officer, I have to clock in and get paid at the Secret Service Department.

Even with the translation work in González, the speed of making money is still seriously insufficient.

Now that I have the ability to make perfect magic potions, things are completely different.

The cost of materials to make an enlightenment potion is 15 shillings, 10 shillings for poor quality, 15 shillings for excellent quality, and double the cost for 1 gold pound and 10 shillings for excellent quality.

The price of a perfect quality enlightenment potion is even as high as 3 gold pounds.

The profits from the other two potions are similar - 300% profit.

Add to that a 100% success rate... and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Wei En almost laughed from ear to ear.

The only problem now is to find a suitable channel to sell these potions safely.

Before, he planned to sell directly to his colleagues in the Secret Adjustment Department, but now it seems that it is completely impossible.

Not to mention the existence of the Property Management Department within the Secret Brewing Department. In addition to making some commonly used potions, they can also purchase potions from other channels.

These are all potion masters, organizations or individuals that the property management department often cooperates with.

If he wanted to get in and sell the potion, he would have to use the potion of perfect quality to create a channel.

But that would greatly increase his risk of exposure.

It's hard to say what the consequences would be if the secret blending department found out that he had made the potion.

There is no guarantee that he will not be imprisoned and turned into a tool for making potions...

Therefore, in order not to end up like that, Wei En decided to keep a low profile.

Even though this would slow him down in making money, he still felt that doing so was the right choice.

"In the final analysis, it is still not strong."

If he were as powerful as Lacey now, he wouldn't be so cautious...

Wei En looked up at the time, it was already ten o'clock midnight.

"I didn't expect it to take so long to make the potion."

He looked at the pile of materials and tools for making mechanical puppets on the ground, thought about it and decided to take it easy first.

After experiencing the trepidation when making the potion, he was really not sure that he would succeed in making the puppet.

Compared with the simple method of potion, the steps to make a mechanical puppet are much more complicated...

Therefore, Wei En felt that it was necessary to study Jerry's Codex for a while, especially the drawings related to [Ironheart Fury], and he must achieve 100% perfection.

Thinking this, he turned around and prepared to leave the studio and return to the bedroom to rest.

Um?

etc?

Wei En suddenly remembered that he could actually do this——

The effect of the Mechanical Box is to give mechanical-related materials, equipment or puppets death characteristics, so...

Just do what you think of, and Wei En directs the driver to cast the Mechanical Box spell on the materials on the ground through his origin.

The rune mark of the Mechanical Box (Death) on the driver's forehead suddenly grew larger and occupied the position between the eyebrows. His eyes were fixed on the empty space next to him, and his mouth opened and closed as he shouted: "Abdel Jalil!" (Mechanical Box!)

I saw a crack in the ground, and an aura full of decay, death, decay... came out.

And as the gap widened, a rusty, steam-style mechanical door rose.

The round and thick brass-colored door frame has a clock disc carved on the turquoise door.

As the hands on the clock turned, the mechanical door slowly opened outward, revealing a void of space.

"Is this a mechanical box?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment. This spell didn't feel like opening up subspace, but rather like summoning an ancient mechanical door...

But he didn't delve into it. Even the original rune of the God of Death appeared. What else was unacceptable?

Immediately afterwards, he put the materials on the ground into the mechanical door one by one.

After all the materials were put away, Wei En pulled out the musket from his waist and stuffed it in too.

The musket is also a mechanical weapon. If it can be given the property of death... and coupled with his marksmanship, then why not just turn the shotgun into a magical weapon?

After doing this, he signaled the driver to release the spell.

Wei En watched the mechanical door disappear through the gap, "It seems that gun skills are not without merit. We just need to find ways to improve the musket and increase its power..."

He looked at the remaining survival points on the panel, and after thinking for a moment, he still decided to focus on marksmanship.

add a bit!

PS: Thanks to Mr. Nanke for the tip, thank you.

There is only one chapter today, but the word count is not much less than two chapters.

The old rule is to update more on weekends. When I have a break, I have more time...
