Chapter 57: Difficulties and Owe Money
The construction of Oasis Camp has begun in full swing.
In the game forum, the topic of campsites once again became a hot topic.
[Shock! The first large-scale mission since the server was launched! ]
[Where is the balance of the game? Why can the Oasis Camp learn such a strong passive skill? ]
[That night, the secret between me and the bug had to be told...]
【……】
Although they are all beginner maps, some of them are so poor that you can't even get a few drops of oil out of them.
In the Oasis Camp, not only did the magical skill "Titanium Affinity" appear, but also an opportunity to obtain psychic potions appeared.
This caused many players to complain that the balance of the game itself was broken.
Although all players are equal.
But clearly some players are more equal than others!
For a time, envy, jealousy and hatred flooded the game forums like a tide, engulfing the players of Oasis Camp.
"Oh, damn it, I've decided. I'm going to leave my Novice Village and find the location of the Oasis Camp even if it takes a lot of hardship!"
"That's right. We can't let those despicable guys in the Oasis Camp have Bei Feng, a high-level NPC, all to ourselves!"
On the forum, someone issued a call for everyone to search for an oasis camp together.
But there are many monsters in the wilderness, and many high-level monsters block their way, so the journey will definitely be very difficult.
At the same time, there was a craze of "looking for high-level NPCs" in the game.
Many people think that there must be a powerful NPC like Commander Beifeng in their novice village, but it just hasn't appeared.
As a result, many village and town heads suffered.
On the forum, a player posted: "I think our village chief must be a master. I can't tell his attributes at all. I decided to lure a high-level monster nearby to the village chief's home and let him show his strength."
The follow-up to this type of post is generally not very good. Either the player is repeatedly killed by high-level monsters when luring monsters, or the village chief flees with many villagers.
But there are always some surprises in this world, and several high-level NPCs who had been hiding from the world were actually found.
Su Xia didn't care about these things.
In the camp, after he made sure that everything was going in an orderly manner, he returned to the hot spring room to continue soaking in the hot springs.
The battle with the bugs is getting closer, and this body needs to recover quickly.
"The two bugs that sneaked into the camp dared to act on their own, which shows that they are very confident. But the insect nest has not attacked yet. What are they waiting for?"
Su Xia's heart was always shrouded in a sense of crisis.
The atmosphere in the camp is now very weird. The few bugs that are still hiding have become obedient, and Su Xia does not want to start a war without being fully prepared, so he has not yet exposed the old guy Xu Yuncang.
Both sides seemed to be waiting.
With this sense of crisis, Su Xia's consciousness returned to his clone in Coral City.
The Coral City was still covered in a layer of gray in the afternoon.
The sky was gray, with only a few rays of sunlight squeezing in, making it seem a little depressing.
“Crack…”
Su Xia pushed open the door, walked out of the basement, and walked to her personal laboratory table with the formulas of four poisons and their antidotes .
Including the Ecstasy Powder, he now had five second-level poison recipes.
There are still many areas in the basement that have not been cleaned.
Su Xia planned to improve his strength first, refine these potions and then go to the basement. Anyway, the key was in his hand, so he could go whenever he wanted.
The two brothers, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, have already delivered today's medicine.
"Brother Su, come here quickly. I will teach you how to make the most basic healing potion!" Hong Bafu remembered the promise he made before going to bed last night.
The materials for the first-level potion are not expensive, you can just go to your dad and write him an IOU.
If I can't pay it back, I can rely on my dad for the rest of my life.
"Sorry for the trouble, bro."
Su Xia didn't act pretentiously and immediately started making the healing potion under Hong Bafu's guidance.
He was incredibly talented, his hands were as steady as a robot, and with Hong Bafu's help, he made almost no mistakes during the experiment.
Not long after, he refined a first-level healing potion, but this potion was very ordinary.
Without the bonus of psychic talent, the effect is average, similar to the potions sold by merchants outside.
Hong Bafu himself possesses a talent for "healing". The healing potion he refines is at least 10% more effective than ordinary healing potions.
In this regard, neither Su Xia nor Lan Bafu can compare to him.
Lan Bafu's talent is related to "psychic energy amplification". The temporary psychic energy replenishment potion he made is at least 10% more effective than ordinary replenishment potions.
"Brother Su, quickly level up, and from now on we can let you handle all the poison orders in our store!"
"Okay, I'll try my best..."
Time flies in the pharmacy.
Before I knew it, it was night.
Throughout the afternoon, Su Xia, with the help of her two brothers, became proficient in making several first-level potions, and also tried to refine second-level potions.
Second-level potions are much more troublesome. The time it takes to refine them is several times longer than that of first-level potions , and the impact of materials on potion quality is gradually increasing.
Many times, even if the refining process is followed according to the standard process, the final product will not be satisfactory.
Su Xia has a lot of first-level potions beside her, but she has never successfully made a second-level potion.
"Brother Su, you have to find a feeling." Hong Bafu patiently instructed, "The feeling of a pharmacist is very important. When you reach a certain stage, as long as you feel that you can succeed this time, then there is a high probability that you will succeed!"
"Feel?"
Su Xia's mind moved slightly. For the people in this world, it is feeling, and for the players, it is proficiency.
However, there is no proficiency column on the personal panel, and the only way to gain experience is through repeated failures.
"Don't be impatient. Lan Bafu tried for seven days before he successfully refined a second-level potion. And his success rate was not high for a long time afterwards... Even so, the teacher still praised him for his good talent."
Hong Bafu was the first to get started, and he directly used Lan Bafu, the second-born child, as a typical case to explain to Su Xia.
Lan Bafu curled his lips and said, "You're not much better. The teacher said you spent five days and the wasted materials made him so sad that he almost had a seizure. Brother Su, you better work harder!"
"Well, I'll try my best..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bottle on Su Xia's laboratory table cracked.
He sighed, saw that it was getting late, and began to calculate today's earnings.
On the shelf next to him were more than a hundred freshly refined first-level potions. This was the result of an entire afternoon's hard work. His success rate in refining first-level potions was now quite high.
Under the shelf were several large bags of medicinal residue from his failed attempts.
"I already owe the teacher more than 4,000 yuan for materials, and the first-level potions I made can only earn more than 3,000 yuan if I sell them at the market price. I still owe 1,000 yuan..."
After settling the bill, Su Xia felt disappointed.
Although a lot of the materials were wasted trying to refine the second-level potion, he was still a little surprised that he owed so much just getting started.
How much do the two brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu owe?
These two people are striving to become fourth-level pharmacists, and the wasted materials will only become more numerous and more precious.
Su Xia looked at the two of them and asked a question.
But both of them hesitated and refused to say.
