Chapter 462: 160. The fisherman is not only good at flying but occasionally can also fish up a deep-sea giant shark_2

No wonder even with the unscientific notion of Spiritual Energy, the level of civilization here is still so low. How could you ever cultivate academia with such a hoarding mentality? And although I can’t share this knowledge in the game, I suppose it wouldn’t be a problem if I post it on the forum for everyone to enjoy, right?

With such thoughts, he then heard Lady Cui Si instruct:

"Now that you are my apprentices, you must abide by the rules among alchemists.

There are several basic potion formulas stored in my cabin. You have to produce the finished potions within a day and night. I will use this to gauge your expertise in the field of Alchemy, and tailor different learning plans for you accordingly.

Begin now.

Each of you must make five potions of each type."

Upon Lady Cui Si’s command, the creation task was assigned and the players began to busy themselves. Cui Si calculated on the side, ten players crafting potions would be enough to sustain her cabin’s operation for a while, and all she needed to do in return was to offer verbal acknowledgement and teach them a few alchemical formulas in her spare time.

Wouldn’t that essentially be taking the spoils without a fight?

She is indeed brilliant!

However, the smug Cui Si hadn’t realized the players’ terrifying demand for potions and consumables. These players wouldn’t fret over resources like the actual warriors of this world. If possible, even when slaying the lowest-ranked creatures of despair, they would still insist on coating their weapons with the best alchemical paste!

Otherwise, how could they manifest their carefreeness and pursuit of efficiency?

"My warrior, Lumi, follow me."

Cui Si whispered into Lumina’s ear craftily. Lumina, who had been scrutinizing the beginner anti-toxin potion formula, paused, looked around, and quietly left the cabin.

Cui Si was already waiting for her outside.

"What exactly is the principle and effect of the two tools you spoke of earlier?"

Cui Si asked in a low voice:

"Please understand my irresistible curiosity about this as an alchemist."

"Ah, that..."

Lumina blinked her eyes, thinking how interesting this NPC, acting with so much intelligence, was. You really want to know, why not go search the internet?

Heh, the immersion in this damn game is truly beyond measure.

She didn’t mind, and subsequently explained the workings of a centrifuge to Cui Si, even drawing her a simple sketch with her notebook.

It’s just a way of buttering her up, after all.

She had already activated the "Warrior of Carvendina" questline anyway, there was no way she could give up on Lady Cui Si’s personal reputation.

However, once Lumina finished explaining, a hidden mission was quietly triggered.

[Special Hidden Mission - Otherworldly Knowledge (1/5) Activated!

Mission Description: As a master alchemist and master of Spiritual Energy, Lady Cui Si is extraordinarily curious about knowledge from other worlds. She longs to see more intellectual leanings from different worlds to supplement her pursuit of the truth.

As masters of Spiritual Energy, they understand the value of knowledge, so Lady Cui Si is willing to offer more rewards for this knowledge.

Mission Objective: Bring more knowledge from other worlds to Lady Cui Si, the value of which will be judged by her.

Mission Reward: Several keys to the Blood Vulture Duke’s treasury.

Hint!

The mission rewards will be provided by Lady Cui Si based on the value of the otherworldly knowledge obtained. The minimum reward is one key.

Hint!

This mission is a unique hidden mission and cannot be shared. Carelessly revealing mission information will greatly decrease Lady Cui Si’s favorable impression of you.

Hint!

This mission is a recurring quest chain. Completing it five times triggers the next stage.

Developer hint!

This mission is one of our attempts to enhance players’ immersion and sense of integration. If the testers are lucky enough to trigger this mission, they can search for professional information online to finish the task, and please provide task reports and suggestions for improvements in the forum feedback section after completion.

If we receive positive feedback, this type of task will be added to crafting-related functions as an ’Easter Egg’.]

"!!!"

Looking at this mission, Lumina fell into contemplation.

She suspects that she must have brushed up Lady Cui Si’s reputation to a certain critical point to activate such a personal task.

But no matter how you look at it, the contents of this mission seem offbeat. What does it mean by valuable otherworldly knowledge?

How should this value be determined?

As a highly intelligent graduate student, Lumina quickly came up with a method. As an "old role-play" gamer, she hesitated for a moment before timidly asking Lady Cui Si, who was studying the sketch of the centrifuge:

"Lady Cui Si, I’m actually somewhat of an ’alchemist’ in my own world too, as you mentioned before. However, we don’t refer to it in that way over there. What I want to know is, do you have anything resembling a periodic table of elements here?

A commonly accepted foundation for understanding alchemy, where the unique elements that constitute the entire world are arranged according to their internal characteristics?"

"Yes!"

Cui Si looked up, explaining:

"We have the ’Alchemists’ Sage Monument’, which was initially arranged by the Sun Priests of the Sanghai Empire with twenty-eight elements that compose everything, assembled in a way that portrays their sensitivity to Spiritual Energy.

Every official alchemist must memorize the intricate mappings and reaction relationships on the monument.
