The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

This is not a good thing to write...

If he wrote down all those treasonous things, he would be afraid that he would never be able to deceive himself again.

As for why he couldn't deceive himself?

Chapter 17 Now we finally have hope of getting rich

A Juan's suggestion is actually quite ordinary.

Because for most novice alchemists, the accumulation of formulas is a big problem.

First of all, it is not easy to obtain formulas. It is okay if there is a teacher or family inheritance. If you start from scratch, you have to pay a lot of money to study just to learn the formula.

Secondly, different formulas have different refining methods and different materials, and different materials require different processing methods.

Although there are commonalities between these methods, it is really difficult for novice alchemists to understand them.

Therefore, most novice alchemists have very limited formulas. Those who can master more than ten or twenty kinds are considered powerful, and most apprentices are proficient in only a few formulas.

If you know which ones, just write down the names and effects. If there are any potions that can cooperate, she will know at a glance.

But Lu Lin is different.

His alchemy was not learned through normal means. Because of the existence of the alchemy manual in his mind, although he is only a junior alchemist, the number of formulas he has mastered may not be comparable to that of mid-level and senior alchemists.

In addition, most of the formulas Lu Lin knows are extremely treasonous, so Lu Lin didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Just when Lu Lin was thinking about how to start, the door of the store was pushed open.

A sturdy dwarf man, who was only about 1.3 meters tall, appeared at the door and shouted in a loud voice: "Ajuan? Do you have any explosives?"

"Explosives? Why don't you go to the Blue Nose Store to ask for this stuff? Why come to me to ask?" Sister Ajuan's expression was subtle, "He's the only one in our town that sells it, you know that."

"Hey, he doesn't have it, otherwise can I ask everywhere?" The dwarf man looked helpless, "He said that the fire grass is out of stock recently. Oh, damn, I'll go ask somewhere else."

After that, the dwarf man left.

"Hey..." Lu Lin touched his chin and watched the dwarf leave, "So explosives are so scarce?"

"It has always been like this. Making explosives is dangerous. Whether it is a pharmacist or an alchemist, few apprentices are willing to learn the relevant formulas," Sister A Juan was a little helpless. "Before, only the pharmacist boy in the Blue Nose family could mix explosive potions, and they were the only family in the town that could sell explosives. Well, maybe Master Sebuike in the east of the town can also make explosives, but he is the only intermediate alchemist in the town after all, and no one will be willing to spend money to let him make explosives. Alas, the fire grass is easy to be out of stock in this season. It seems that these miners will have a hard time recently."

"No," Lu Lin touched his chin, "That may not be the case..."

Ten minutes later, Lu Lin left the underground treasure.

At this moment, he was in a very good mood. He had already discussed the business with Sister A Juan and got a price that made him very satisfied.

There was only one store in the town that sold explosives, and its pharmacist only knew one formula, "Active Primary Plant Extract Explosive Agent". This agent is also included in the [Explosive Agent] catalog under [Destruction Formula] in Lu Lin's alchemy manual.

This agent is not bad in power, the cost is not high, and the synthesis difficulty is not great. Among the primary agents, it can even be called the king of cost-effectiveness.

But no matter how good a primary agent is, it is still a primary agent after all, and it has its limitations and shortcomings.

This "Active Primary Plant Extract Explosive Agent" has three shortcomings.

First, this agent is quite unstable and may be detonated as long as it is hit hard. Therefore, it must be transported very carefully, otherwise accidents are very likely to occur.

Of course, this shortcoming is not uncommon. Most primary explosive agents have this problem, and old miners have their own ways to avoid this problem.

The focus is still on the last two.

Second, this agent requires fresh fire grass to be prepared, which is difficult to make in the season when fire grass is less produced.

Third, its effect will gradually weaken over time. After a bottle of medicine is prepared, its power will weaken after a week, and its power will be halved after half a month. After a month, it will be completely ineffective, making it almost impossible to store it for a long time.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that this thing will be out of stock seasonally.

And the time when it is out of stock is Lu Lin's business opportunity.

Lu Lin's alchemy manual records a large number of recipes, and the directory [Destruction Recipe] can be called a primary bomb encyclopedia.

After browsing, Lu Lin quickly selected one of the recipes.

In the [Other] entry of [Destruction Recipe], there is a thing called "primary fire dust".

This is a kind of gunpowder dust made from several common alchemical materials and a mineral dust called "warm burning stone". Once ignited, it will burn rapidly.

As long as the fuse is buried in it, it is refined for the second time, and then put into a sealed container, the "primary fire dust explosive" under the [Solid Bomb] entry of [Destruction Recipe] can be made.

This is a kind of explosive that is more difficult to refine.

Compared with the cost-effective active primary plant extract explosive agent, it is more expensive and has more refining steps.

But the higher cost and more difficult refining also bring many advantages.

First of all, it is safer and will only detonate if it sees an open flame.

Secondly, it doesn’t care about the season. It can be made in any season and can be stored for a long time.

For example, when this kind of explosive is out of stock, even if it costs high and the price is high, you still won't have to worry about selling it.

Lu Lin calculated for himself and found that the materials needed to refine primary fire dust explosives were very common. There was no need to waste time collecting them. Just buy them directly. The only more expensive material was "warm burning stone", but this thing was originally produced in He has talked with Sister Ajuan about the mining area. As long as it is used to make explosives, the other party can help him find the mining area to receive the goods at the cost price. He only needs to pay an extra 5% as hard work fee.

As for the purchase price of the refined explosives, Sister Ajuan was very generous, which was about 10% or 20% lower than the selling price of explosives in Lanbitou store, and she promised to purchase unlimited quantities.

Lu Lin made a rough estimate. According to the negotiated terms, if he bought all the materials and refined the explosives at home throughout the process, he should be able to earn a monthly profit of nearly three gold coins in the end.

Earn three gold per month!

Three hundred silver coins!

Thirty thousand copper coins!

Lu Lin had to lament that his ability to make money now is really different from the past.

I think back then, when I worked tirelessly in the mountains to collect materials, my monthly income was only between twenty and thirty silver coins.

This is just becoming a junior alchemist, and his income can increase more than ten times?

Ha ha.

If he becomes an intermediate-level or senior-level person in the future, Lu Lin wouldn't even dare to think about his earning power!

Thinking of this, Lu Lin's smile became even bigger and his steps became brisker.

Judging from this situation, it only takes him three or four months to save the ten gold coins required by the system.

Speaking of which, the days when I collected medicines and saved money seemed to have lasted just over a hundred days.

Looking at it this way, the time is almost the same, but can a life with a monthly income of 30,000 yuan be the same as a life with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan?

These three months will no longer be such hard days.

With daydrees about a better future, Lu Lin walked happily on the streets of the town, purchasing various materials needed to refine explosives. He did not realize at all that in the shadow of the street, a pair of eyes were watching closely. he.

Chapter 18 Why do you think you messed with her?

afternoon.

Barn Tavern.

A group of shop assistants and tavern owners are making preparations for the opening.

"Oh, damn, why do I feel like I can't get anything done today..." Tang Bo muttered and yawned.

Looking up at the store, I suddenly realized what the problem was.

"Huh? Where's Gru? He didn't come to work today?" he asked doubtfully.

Gru is also a clerk here. He is usually taciturn and has no sense of presence, but he has always done a lot of work. There are only three or four clerks in the store, and there is one less today. No wonder he feels that he has too many things to do. few.

"Hmm, who knows, isn't it good that he didn't come?" The tavern owner, Dam, heard Tombo's complaint and casually continued, "I wish he would never come here again."

"Ah?" Tang Bo looked at Bam in confusion, "Why? Did you quarrel?"

"No, he never farts every day, who can argue with him," Bam curled his lips, "No, you kid doesn't know who Gru is, right?"

"Ah? Who is he from? I don't know. I haven't had a few words with him since I came to work," Tang Bo said.

"Oh, then it's no wonder you asked that," Bam sighed, "It's right when you think about it, you came late, and no one told you that Gru was actually the Black Snail Gang's spy in the tavern. "

"He is from the Black Snail Gang?" Tang Bo was shocked, "Real or false! Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?"

"It's something we all know very well. Who would talk about this when they have nothing to do?" Another clerk on the side interjected, "This is the only tavern in the town. How could the Black Snail Gang not arrange an informant here, but say informant, arrange Drunkards can’t get away with it, so the best option is of course to let a shop assistant come in. Not only does it cost nothing, but it also earns some money.”

"Huh? But, boss, don't you have any objections to this?" Tang Bo looked at Bam in astonishment.

"So what if I have an opinion? How can I offend the Black Snail Gang?" Bam rolled his eyes, "If you don't let this stake stay in my store, do you think my business can go smoothly? Just If nothing else, what happened a few days ago, if they hadn’t been there, do you think they could have left so happily? "

"Ah, that's right, what happened a few days ago..." Tang Bo nodded, "Speaking of it, that thing was quite strange."

"It's really weird," Bam touched his chin, "but it's not without signs. One day before, Debel got drunk and slept all night for no apparent reason. At that time, I heard someone murmuring that this guy's drinking capacity is now high. It's so bad. Could it be that his health was damaged by him... Ah, speaking of it, it seems that it was the night Lu Lin came to drink for the first time? "

"Huh? What a coincidence that day..." After saying this, Tang Bo suddenly froze, and even stopped working.

"Huh? Hello? What's wrong with you kid?" Bam waved his hand in front of Tang Bo's eyes.

"Ah!" Tang Bo finally came back to his senses, then scratched his head and said with a slightly worried face, "I just suddenly thought... no, no matter how you put it, this shouldn't be possible..."

"Bang!"

"Phew! Ouch..."

Lu Lin put down the full backpack and rubbed his shoulders with his hands.

As expected, the more proud a person is, the more he should remind himself to be cautious, otherwise he will easily get carried away.

Just like Lu Lin today, he only thought about making a lot of money, but he bought a little more of each material, and finally filled a full backpack. He was almost exhausted to carry the things back.

"Alas, as expected, some money should not be saved. Next time I buy goods, I will rent a bullock cart to help deliver them..." Lu Lin thought so and closed the door.

Turning his head, he saw that the girl was still sleeping on the bed. There was an empty bottle on the bedside. It was the hypnotic medicine that Lu Lin had prepared at home. It seemed that another bottle had been drunk.

"Alas, sleeping for more than 23 hours a day, will there really be no problem?"

Lu Lin couldn't help thinking.

Hmm...

I always feel that the direction of worry is not right.

I would rather take the medicine and continue to sleep. I don't feel sleepy, but I don't want to wake up.

But what will happen if I wake up?

Will I feel uncomfortable when I wake up?

Lu Lin couldn't help but think of some legends, about unlucky people who were cursed and would always feel pain or hunger and could only escape by sleeping...

But if that's the case, you can't fall asleep just by relying on the power of the primary gray cloud mushroom drug, right?

I remember that this drug can wake you up as long as you are pushed and slapped on the face.

If you are really being tortured, it's unlikely that you can fall asleep just by relying on this drug.

I still can't figure it out.

"Forget it, let's get to work. Let's see if we can refine some samples today, so that we can show them to Sister Ajuan tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Lu Lin was ready to start processing the materials.

However, just as he rolled up his sleeves, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Lin was stunned.

This seemed to be the first time someone knocked on his door since he came to this world.

After all, he lived quite far away from the town. Even if Tang Bo or Sister Ajuan had something to ask him, they were often too lazy to run to his house, but would wait until he went to town to talk to him.

Something must be wrong when something is abnormal. Lu Lin's nerves suddenly tensed up. His right hand involuntarily went into his arms, tightly holding a bottle of medicine, and then he tiptoed to the door.
