Chapter 013: Unhappy but unable to get rid of it
"Ah... is this a real potion formula?"
Ryan pretended to be stupid and said bitterly, "The rest... Teacher, because there are too many unfamiliar symbols, my memory is a little confused..."
If it were a few days ago, he really wouldn't be able to understand such a complicated formula.
But now, including the time in his dreams, he has learned the theory for two or three months. Although he doesn't understand the practical operation of making potions, he still recognizes the symbols of these equations and the abbreviations of the materials.
Pisis felt a little itchy, but he couldn't force it, so he looked unhappy: "You can't remember the rest?"
For a potion master, potion recipes are his lifeblood!
This is like having several houses in your family in your previous life, which are absolute "hard currency" and you can make money just by sitting there.
Whether it is taking assessments to advance or making potions to make money, the number of recipes a potion master masters is his "core competitiveness".
An ordinary black iron potion recipe can be sold at a sky-high price, let alone a golden recipe that can be directly exchanged for a noble title?
…
Ryan looked innocent and replied, "Ah... Sorry, teacher. Those symbols are so strange, many of them I have never seen before... I don't even know how to write them accurately."
“…”
When Pisis heard this, his face twitched violently.
It was agreed to be a high-definition, uncensored AVI. I took my fucking pants off and you told me it was the harmonious version of the Holy Light Cavalry?
But when he came to his senses, he realized that there were indeed only some basic books in this room. It had only been a few days, and he, a cheap disciple, hadn't even gotten started yet. How much knowledge about potions could he know?
What's more, important things like potion formulas are all in his storage ring. He has never seen the reaction equation of the formula, so it is unrealistic to write it out.
The treasure is right in front of us, obviously no one would give up so easily.
"Why……"
After thinking about it, Pisis sighed slightly, then took out a parchment scroll with dense writing on it from his storage ring.
When he unfolded it, he saw that it was the detailed formula of the first-level genetic potion [Thief].
A complete reaction equation is recorded here.
He wanted to give this finished product to Ryan as a reference.
Pisis pointed at the formula and explained, "The standard formula of a potion formula usually looks like this . The symbol is 'purification', followed by 'extraction' and 'heating'... and finally 'fusion'... There should be some such symbols on your formula... Of course, yours should be much more complicated..."
As he spoke, he began to teach Ryan how to solve the equation on the spot, wanting to help him "remember" and complete the formula.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ryan had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, "Oh, teacher, I think I remember part of it again!"
Then, he successfully completed the formula to about 70% or 80%.
Of course, the system prompt sound is also ringing.
[Ding! A new potion formula has been discovered and the system has automatically recorded it...]
Almost there!
Seeing the complete formula in front of him, even though Pisis was very shrewd, he couldn't keep calm at this moment: "And... can you remember the rest?"
The sexy girl finally took off all her clothes, leaving only the last piece of cloth to cover her private parts.
Ryan, however, had whetted his appetite and pretended to be embarrassed: "Teacher, the formula in my head is too complicated. Many parts of it are different from yours..."
“…”
Upon hearing the result, Pisis's old face twitched again.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply took out three recipes from his storage ring.
Upon closer inspection, they were actually the first-level [Trickster] and [Elemental Apprentice], and even a second-level silver formula [Prisoner].
These three cards are the formulas for the Assassin Sequence, the Caster Sequence and the Fighter Sequence, and they are priceless!
The special symbols on the three recipes cover more than 90% of the special symbols in potions.
He wasn't sure what kind of golden formula Ryan wrote about, so he just took it out.
Anyway, for such a complicated recipe, don't even think about plagiarizing it unless you copy it word for word.
Besides, what’s wrong with a dying person plagiarizing?
As soon as the formula was taken out, three system prompts sounded in Ryan's mind one after another.
[Ding! Unknown potion formula discovered, recorded...]
[Ding! Unknown potion formula discovered, recorded...]
[Ding! Unknown potion formula discovered, recorded...]
"Oh... I remembered something..."
Ryan remained calm, as if he had really remembered something, and added another part to the paper.
As he wrote, Pisis' eyes almost popped out of his head.
The old fellow kept praying in his heart, it’s almost there, just almost there... he must write it out completely!
At this point, Ryan knew that the time had come.
…
After seeing the three new recipes, Ryan "remembered" a lot of them.
He was busy completing the recipe, but suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stopped writing.
"???"
Pisis looked at him with a monkey-like feeling in his heart.
Could it be that you forgot again?
At this time, Ryan asked a meaningful question: "Um... Mr. Pisis, is the formula of the [Zombie Potion] as complicated as the magic potion formula?"
Finally, he stated his purpose.
If you want to quickly get the antidote and leave the "Weasel Group", this is a risky choice.
Moreover, even if they were to fall out at this moment, he was sure that Pisis would not kill him immediately, but would even feed and pamper him...
After all, his greedy nature would not let this old guy be satisfied just by getting a golden formula.
“…”
You can make an excuse that you don’t have the finished antidote, but you can’t just say that you don’t even want to let people see the formula, right?
As if he was defeated in chess, Pisis' pupils shrank suddenly, but he hid them cleverly.
It turns out that this kid had this purpose.
The little fox finally showed its tail, and he instantly understood Ryan's intention of writing this golden formula today.
Haha, he is indeed a smart-aleck young man.
However, this was just a little surprising, not enough to make him feel that things were out of control.
What's more, the current situation is very clear. If I exchange a golden formula for an antidote formula, I will make a profit anyway.
"hehe……"
The viciousness disappeared in a flash. As Ryan expected, Pisis did not get angry. Instead, he took out a recipe with a smile and said, "The formula of the antidote is far less complicated than the magic potion. Here... take a look, this is the antidote formula for the [Zombie Potion]..."
Oh, stupid!
Do you really think pharmacy is so simple that you can prepare medicine just by getting the prescription?
So what if I showed it to you?
Pisis was very confident that without a year or so of basic experimental training, no genius would be able to refine the potion even if the materials and formula were in front of them.
In his opinion, Ryan's "little trick" now has no effect except showing his stupidity and short-sightedness!
…
Seeing the antidote formula, I got what I wanted.
Ryan smiled slightly, feeling inexplicably relieved.
It's really pleasing to see an enemy who is displeased with you but can't kill you.
But the next moment, to Pisis's surprise, Ryan only glanced at the formula and didn't look at it again, as if he had no interest at all.
This made Pisis doubt his own judgment. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Does this guy really just want to take a look?
"Oh, teacher, I remember it! I remember the complete formula!"
The system had recorded the detoxification formula for the [Zombie Potion], and Ryan didn't keep this guy in suspense, so he just wrote out the entire formula.
This golden formula, which is regarded as a treasure by other potion masters, is just a piece of waste paper in his current situation.
"This... is truly a golden recipe!"
When Pisis looked at the complete formula, the doubts that had just arisen in his heart instantly disappeared, and were replaced by ecstasy as if he had found a treasure.
Didn't he risk his life to go undercover in this dirty Phantom Thieves group just to gain merit in exchange for advanced knowledge on three-star potions?
The golden formula in front of him now is enough for him to exchange for more resources from high-level potion masters.
Become rich!
At the same time, the look he gave Ryan became a little strange.
Obviously... this kid has other formulas in his head, or something more valuable!
Although this kid always gives people the feeling that he has ulterior motives, he certainly cannot be killed now.
Haha, wait two more days...
It's time to settle the accounts!
…
At this moment, Ryan seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, teacher, there is another good news."
Pisis raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Is there a recipe?
The old man just started to look forward to it when he heard Ryan say, "When the leader came before, he asked me how my life was and what I needed... Then, I told him that you needed some [Thousand-year-old mummy skull powder] to make medicine..."
As if being stabbed in the back!
Hearing this, Pisis's face suddenly turned cold.
He imprisoned Ryan in the laboratory, and outsiders had no chance to contact him. He said he needed whatever he wanted. But this leader Quinn happened to come...
Now that's good, there is always a loophole.
Ryan seemed to be completely oblivious to the old man's expression, and said heartlessly: "The leader said that there seems to be some in stock, and he will send someone to deliver it to us once he finds it..."
"oh?"
The corner of Pisis' eye twitched. He had already said what he had said before, and he couldn't make excuses now.
He said calmly, "That...that's great. Once the leader sends the materials, I'll help you make an antidote..."
Although he knew that he was being plotted against twice, Pisis, who got the golden formula, still did not feel much anger in his heart.
After all, it was only a few days before the "Weasel Group" was destroyed.
Even if we get the antidote, this guy won't be able to leave alive.
"Hmph! Wait two days, and when you tell me the secret, I will skin you alive and tear out your tendons!"
