Chapter 131 The Battle of Singing
Chapter 131: The Battle of the Singing·Stained in Misty Rain (Central)
In the mushroom-like house, strange and sharp persuasion sounded from time to time, but Sauber was a relatively polite alchemist. He did not force Chu Qianbian to take the bottle of terrifying [Sea Giant Potion], but used various strange alchemy potions to tempt him. [Strong Troll Potion], [Super Mana Instant Potion], [Iron Shield Potion], [Second Invisible Potion]..., the names of a series of advanced potions made Chu Qianbian dazzled, but the druid finally "resisted" the temptation because he doubted whether he would become a strange creature after taking the bottle of [Sea Giant Potion].
After being bombarded by the dwarf Sauber in words for half an hour, Chu Qianbian finally seized a gap and made his purpose: "Dear Mr. Sauber, I was introduced by Miss Moraka from Hurricane Bay Pier. I would like to ask you to help refine the 'primary repair potion' and [Time Backward Potion] into a potion."
Hearing this, Sauber, who was holding the purple reagent bottle and shook his head with regret, looked up suddenly. He looked at Chu Qianbian for a while and said in a low voice: "Refining the 'primary repair potion' and [Time Backward Potion] into a potion? Miss Moraka actually asked you to come to me to prepare this kind of thing?" His sharp little eyes were looming behind the green windscreen. After a long time, Sauber smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect that when I was alive, I would really meet a guy who got the map of Captain Conneid, a young druid. You really surprised me."
The gaze of the dwarf and the pungent smell of potion in the room made Chu Qianbian feel like a test frog waiting to be slaughtered. He was very eager to leave here as soon as possible. He maintained a smile on his face and saluted: "Dear Mr. Sauber, if you need anything to help, please mention it. Of course, taking a strange reagent like [Sea Giant Potion], I think my companions outside the house are more capable of such tasks."
While speaking, Chu Qianbian paid attention to Sauber's reaction. He hoped that Sauber would accept such a proposal. Unfortunately, the dwarf Sauber obviously would not end the mission so simply.
Sauber was silent for a while, and the expression on his face gradually became serious. He said in a cautious tone unique to the dwarf race: "Since it was Miss Moraka's instructions, I certainly have no reason to refuse. However, the young druid, you can have two choices before disposing. One choice is that I will refine the 'primary repair potion' and [Time Backward Potion]; the other choice is that you will do it yourself. Of course, I will guide you on the side. If successful, you can not only obtain the [Time Backward Potion], but also master the professional alchemy mixing techniques. However, [Time Backward Potion] is very precious. If the disposal fails, you must refine a bottle before coming to me."
"Ding..., player Chu Qianbian completed the 'Sauber visiting the Lighthouse Cliff' mission."
"Ding..., the senior alchemist Sauber has issued you a 'difficult choice', please choose Sauber's proposal."
The system's low and pleasant prompt sound echoed in his ears. In an instant, Chu Qianbian was indeed in a dilemma. The first choice in the task is undoubtedly the safest way at present. Let the dwarf Sauber personally refine the two potions. Since there is no prompt for failure in the task prompt, the first choice is to successfully obtain the [Time Backtracking Repair Potion]. However, the second choice is also full of temptation. Although Sauber has reminded that if Chu Qianbian himself makes the adjustment, the result of the allocation is very likely to fail, but the professional allocation method of the task's final reward is also full of temptation. Moreover, even if the result fails, the only task in the plot branch is not counted as of this end. As long as you refine a bottle of [Time Backtracking Potion], you can still continue the task.
Standing quietly in the house, Chu Qianbian thought silently for a while, his brows gradually stretched out, staring at Sauber and smiling: "Mr. Sauber, I accept your second proposal."
"You are such a bold guy." The dwarf Sauber laughed sharply in his voice and said happily: "But I admire you, the young druid, whether it is success or failure, as an alchemist, you must have such a bold and enterprising spirit. From this point of view, you have succeeded."
"Ding..., player Chu Qianbian accepts the 'hard choice to do it myself'."
"Plot branch mission: difficult choices to take action"
"Task Category: The only task of the plot."
"Task Introduction: The advanced alchemist Sauber has proposed two choices for you. He will prepare the [Time Back Repair Repair Potion] by hand, or do you learn the dispensing method from Sauber yourself and then prepare the potion yourself?"
"Task objective: Dispose of potions"
"Task Tips: Sometimes, life is a big adventure, and a wonderful life has always belonged to those brave people..."
"Task Reward: Special Alchemy Professional Alchemy Adjustment Method (Only), [Time Back Repairing Potion]"
Sauber shook his small body and walked to the table. He jumped gently and landed on the table. He took out two bottles of potions from the reagent stand, signaling Chu Qianbian, and said, "Young druid, are you ready? Remember, I only demonstrated three times, and after three times, you must try it yourself. The potions here are very precious. I will give you special treatment. You can also use the potions in the room for three opportunities to practice."
"Three times of demonstration, three times of practice?" Chu Qianbian thought inwardly, nodded and said, "Please start, Mr. Sauber. I can't wait. From birth to now, this is the time when I focus the most."
"Maintaining a high level of concentration is a must for an excellent high-level alchemist."
Sauber praised it, then raised the two bottles of potions in his hand and showed Chu Qianbian his special potion preparation method. In a blink of an eye, the potions in the two reagent bottles were mixed together by Sauber's extremely fast method. The dwarf was very fast when dispensing, so fast that Chu Qianbian could only see the faint shadow of his hand in the air. During the 10 breaths, the two bottles of reagents had been successfully fused together, and a bottle of liquid of completely different colors was slightly swaying in the reagent bottle.
Holding the brand new potion in his hand, the dwarf Sauber looked at Chu Qianbian with pride and smiled: "How is it? Young druid, does my special mixing technique shock you? Have you seen it clearly?"
"..." Chu Qianbian resisted the urge to curse and barely maintained a peaceful smile and said, "If Mr. Sauber, your speed can be half slower, I think my eyes can barely keep up with your speed."
"Oh! Sorry, it was my negligence." Sauber suddenly realized and said apologized: "I am too used to mixing potions like this. I forgot that ordinary people's eyes cannot keep up with my speed."
Chu Qianbian looked at Sauber speechlessly. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that this dwarf would use such a fast speed to deploy it, which was just intentional. Nowadays, even NPCs have learned to show off?
After a while of murmuring, the dwarf Saub took out two bottles of potions and held them in front of Chu Qianbian for a second mixing demonstration. This time, the dwarf's speed was undoubtedly much slower. Seeing the two bottles of potions constantly mixing each other in front of him, and being shaken by Saubian at different frequencies, Chu Qianbian gradually understood the peculiarity of this special mixing technique. The normal method of alchemy professional refining potions is actually very simple. The player only needs to point the type of potions he can refine and confirm that it is refining. The system will control the characters to enter the automatic refining guidance time.
However, the advanced alchemist Sauber's method of adapting is completely different. Chu Qianbian found that if players want to do Sauber's method, they must enter a complete "semi-judgment" mode state and control the characters to refine them. Only in this way can they successfully copy this set of refining techniques.
After reaching this conclusion, Chu Qianbian was glad: "So that's it, no wonder the task prompts the possibility of failure. It turns out that if you want to complete this set of special alchemy configuration techniques, you must first master the complete 'semi-judgment' mode. Fortunately, I had basically mastered the use of this mode not long ago. It is unlikely to maintain such a state for a long time, but there should be no big problem with the time to prepare a bottle of potion."
Just as he was thinking, Sauber's three mixing demonstrations had been completed, the dwarf took out two bottles of potions from the reagent stand and handed them to Chu Qianbian: "Try it, there is no need to be any pressure. Remember, stress and distracting thoughts are often the biggest obstacle to successful mixing. If you can overcome these, you will be half successful."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Chu Qianbian smiled and took two bottles of potions, took a deep breath, recalling the scene that Sauber had just demonstrated, simulating every detail of the dwarf's movement over and over again. "The key is the complete 'semi-judgment' mode, and then you need to pay attention to the dose of each time the potions are mixed with each other, as well as the rhythm, frequency, and counterclockwise turn during the preparation..."
A set of simulation perfect techniques gradually took shape in my mind. Chu Qianbian's hands swayed, intertwined from slow to fast, and the little eyes behind the green windscreen of the dwarf Sauber on the side slowly widened. It was not until 40 seconds later that a new bottle of potion appeared in front of Sauber. The dwarf screamed: "Oh! What did I see, young druid, you are a genius, what a genius... Oh, what are you doing! What are you going to do, stop!"
Seeing Chu Qianbian reaching his hand to the potion on the reagent stand again, the dwarf Saub couldn't help but stop him with a harsh expression. The former stared at the dwarf with confusion and asked, "Mr. Sauber, didn't you say I have three chances to practice?"
Saub jumped in front of Chu Qianbian and did not give him the chance to touch the potion on the table. The dwarf exclaimed: "Three chances to practice!? That is the requirement for the trainee alchemist. You no longer need it. You can already adjust the [Time Back Recovery Potion], I promise!"
Under Saub's urge to defend against thieves, Chu Qianbian had to give up the opportunity to continue trying and carefully took out the "primary repair potion" and [Time Backtracking Potion] from his backpack for mixing. The result was indeed as the dwarf Saub said, Chu Qianbian successfully prepared the [Time Backtracking Potion].
Looking at the fantasy-colored potion in the reagent bottle, Chu Qianbian did not leave the house immediately. In order to prevent the potion from being ineffective, he decided to purify the map directly. If there is no effect, he could also ask Suobo if there is any other way.
The medicine liquid was filled with fantastic colors and fell on the blurred map, as if it was like time going back. The broken map had already begun to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. The terrain outlined on the map was also clearly displayed in front of Chu Qianbian. When the effect of [Time Back Recovery Potion] completely disappeared, a brand new map appeared in front of him.
Chu Qianbian only saw clearly at this time that this was indeed only half a map. There was an obvious cut on the left side of the map, which seemed to be directly cut by a sharp blade. At the edge of the cut, two strings of names gradually appeared.
