Chapter 153: Magic Potion Advancement
Luolita was sent out as if she were the moon surrounded by stars, to the point that Ye Laoshi, standing at the entrance, couldn't even squeeze in.
Fortunately, Luolita saw Ye Laoshi; after all, the large ID above his head was hard to miss, so she quickly mentioned it to Feng beside her.
"No problem, I will arrange for someone to pick him up." After saying this, Feng pulled Luolita onto a carriage; since the matter was already resolved, the rest was not something the Wealth Church needed to handle.
They had no need to offend too many people over this small matter, as long as the church internally saw Feng's efforts this time.
"You really helped me a lot," Luolita said gratefully after getting into the carriage. "I thought I was going to be framed to death by them this time."
"That wouldn't have happened. If you were truly an Awakened, I might not have found it easy to speak for you, but since you aren't an Awakened, everything is easy to handle." Feng also breathed a sigh of relief; if Luolita had truly awakened, he really wouldn't have been able to help her with anything, though he knew Luolita well. "But what exactly did you come to the Royal Capital for this time?"
"Uh, we accepted a mission. Miss Saina had some business to consult in the Royal Capital, so we followed Steward Evans," Luolita explained. "By the way, can we still go back to live in our original house? Mr. Evans went to handle his own business this time, and I'm very worried he will be angry when he returns."
"I can arrange housing for you and will also notify Miss Saina about this matter." Feng did not know Evans's background, but he did know a little about this steward.
He was Miss Saina's chief steward, responsible for this young lady's business and daily life, though most of the time he was responsible for business issues.
He could be called Miss Saina's primary assistant.
Especially after Miss Saina's mother passed away, Evans was basically responsible for all of Miss Saina's industries.
"Then thank you very much."
……
At this moment, Evans had indeed seen the newspaper, but his personal freedom was restricted.
His older brother, Gansier Brown, had come by in the morning to ask him why he had returned to the Royal Capital, but Evans's answer did not satisfy him.
Because Evans had never come to the Royal Capital to handle business matters before; most business issues were handed directly to the Wealth Church.
Unless Ganseer personally investigated what exactly had happened in Tana City.
Evans was not worried about this point; the time he arrived was exactly when the nobles of Tana City were desperately looking for sales channels in the Royal Capital, so his appearance was not abrupt and could be considered to have a reasonable excuse.
It was just that those two new Believers were truly worrisome... they had actually caused such a huge incident.
Not only were they caught by the Police Station, but they also offended the Sun God Cult.
He had only been away for one day, and such a huge change had occurred. These newspapers made his head spin, and he didn't know how to clean up the mess later.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he didn't know if these two fellows could successfully get out of the Police Station.
What if he couldn't take these two fellows back and ended up being cursed by the Lord of Calamity?
Thinking of this, he began to tremble; he never wanted to experience that feeling again...
It wasn't just him who was worried; Chen Zhi, far away in Tana City, also wanted to know how things would follow up.
He hadn't expected his little players to get involved in the sect struggles of the Royal Capital so quickly, nor had he expected the mutated creatures in the Royal Capital to be so terrifying and far less controlled than those in Tana City.
Thinking about it this way, the materials around Tana City were simply a gift from heaven. Compared to these mutated creatures that would kill many civilians at the drop of a hat, the Red-tailed Dragonfly and Petrified Frog were nothing; after all, those fellows stayed in the wild and would absolutely never come among the crowds.
Soon, Ye Laoshi logged off at the first opportunity. He was someone who would absolutely never let playing games delay his daily life, so he logged off earlier than the average player.
However, this time, for the first time ever, he didn't get up immediately, but instead nudged his spouse beside him.
At this time, Ye Laoshi's spouse was also wearing a helmet. Unlike Ye Laoshi, his spouse, Teacher Liu, had been having a lot of fun playing these past few days. In the game, she had returned to the feeling of her youth, so she had no time to worry about Ye Laoshi.
And unlike Ye Laoshi, she could sleep until whatever time she wanted after retiring, so she wouldn't be as disciplined as Ye Laoshi to get up at this time.
Seeing his spouse, who used to be a light sleeper and would be startled awake if he went to the bathroom, sleeping so soundly, Ye Laoshi's inner desire to share grew deeper. He thought of the game forum, so he opened his phone immediately and started posting on the forum.
Things in the Royal Capital happened too fast. In just one day, Ye Laoshi didn't even have time to think before the matter was resolved like this.
He immediately found Luolita's post and left a comment below.
This post had already been pushed to the first page by players. Although it wasn't very conspicuous before, because it was far away in the Royal Capital and in the testing phase, quite a few players were still paying attention to this information.
Of course, the main thing was that Luolita only wrote a part of it before running back online and never coming back.
Ye Shengzu: Everyone, rest assured. Luolita had always said she was a Believer of the Wealth Church, so Feng Bu'er, who is responsible for managing matters concerning Awakened in the Royal Capital, happened to come over. This NPC knows Luolita, so he judged Luolita to be a Believer of Wealth and has already led her out of the Police Station. It seems Feng's new job is to be responsible for liaising with the police.
The reporters in the Royal Capital are very concerned about this matter, and newspapers have already published photos of Luolita catching the octopus. Everyone is blaming the Police Station and the Sun Church for why they detained an innocent girl. According to people around, the Police Station should have already compensated Luolita. I don't know the specifics; I couldn't see Luolita, and she didn't return to her original residence.
However, there are many reporters watching the place where I am staying now. I don't know how they found this place. Since Luolita is not here, they just ask me simple questions, like where I am from, etc. I refused to answer, so they stopped watching.
It is just that I had the fortune to follow two historians to St. Eric School. This is a comprehensive university, and those above the graduate level are basically Wisdom Believers. According to my judgment, the Wisdom Church in the Royal Capital has a clear hierarchy, but as long as your academic performance is good enough, you have the chance to come into contact with some secret information, but most people cannot awaken. This can also prove that the awakening materials for the Wisdom Church should be very expensive; after all, the elites of the Wisdom Church are not too short of money, and their numbers are not as large as the Wealth Church.
According to the analysis of these Wisdom Believers, the shipwreck auction items this time were goods from the early period of Lycoris, and their value is not high because it was a time of War, and export trade was strictly restricted. According to them, Queen Lycoris was a very legendary Queen. If possible, I will look for history books about this Queen in the near future to translate. For example, this Queen had four lovers, and for example, during her reign, art was very rich. In the middle of her reign, she even started a new era. Just hearing about it makes it feel very interesting.
In addition, I also learned from the history graduate student Griffin that awakening is divided into several stages. He himself said that initial awakening consists of three stages. For example, for Awakened of the Wealth Church, besides being able to grasp the Qi Luck of business, Fortune-tellers can subsequently perform the skill of Turn Stone into Gold, but they need to digest the Magic Potion well.
If they digest it after the initial stage, they will drink a second Magic Potion, which is to carry out further advancement.
We currently don't know the situation after digesting each type of Magic Potion, so players may need to discover it themselves later.
Also, these incidents of Mutated Octopus happen frequently. Every place with a port will have similar problems. It may be because the port of Tana City is a river port, not a sea port, so such things haven't happened yet. It is said that other cities have had them, mutated marine creatures. Everyone can also inquire if similar things have happened in Haigang Cheng.
In addition, we can see from this incident in the Royal Capital that there are many sect struggles in the Royal Capital. For example, the Wisdom Church does not want to help people from the Sun God Cult, and at the same time, Believers of the Beauty God will guide people to attack the Sun God Cult in public opinion.
As for the Wealth Church, they should be unwilling to offend all sects, so Feng Bu'er did not condemn anyone when communicating with reporters, but mainly praised Luolita's achievements, hoping that everyone would see how brave and kind the Believers of the Wealth Church are.
Luolita: I didn't expect everyone to discuss it so enthusiastically. Ye Laoshi, you actually went back to stay there? I was wondering why the people Feng sent out couldn't find you. They even went to St. Eric School to look for you, but the teachers there said you had already left long ago.
Ye Shengzu to Luolita: It's okay, there aren't many reporters squatting at the door. Maybe most of them followed you to the Wealth Church side. I don't know what happened on your side.
Luolita immediately showed off excitedly on the forum.
Luolita: I got a piece of land as compensation from the Police Station, located in the dock area, but it's not suitable for farming or anything. I plan to go take a look tomorrow. In addition, the Sun God Cult compensated 1000 Xide as material costs for purchasing the Mutated Octopus. Feng's suggestion is to quit while we're ahead, so we didn't haggle over anything. However, the people from the Sun God Cult are really arrogant. They have a style of not negotiating with people at all, just throwing money. The person who came even looked at people with their nostrils, and their tone of voice was terrible. No wonder they are targeted by the Believers of the Beauty God.
Feng Buxi: I think I understand why the Sun God Cult is called the Single Church.
You'eryuan: It seems I still need to make a trip to the Royal Capital. After all, I can't tell at all where I can buy awakening materials. After making such a big scene, Luolita can't help us inquire about information at all.
Yunxiao: I'm wondering if we should go to Haigang Cheng to try our luck. After all, the Sun God Cult gave 1000 Xide; this price is not low.
Zhuguli to Yunxiao: They might have even suppressed the price. Don't forget the Police Station also paid money.
Feng Buxi: @Luolita, are you willing to let us help you renovate your land? We are all childish labor.
Luolita to Feng Buxi: No, the Train tickets are really too expensive. Feng has already told me how this land can be operated. I plan to hire people to build a building first, to make a hotel. People who get off the ship from the port often need a place to stay. This 1000 Xide of mine is enough to build a large hotel that can accommodate 500 people.
Yaohuanghuang: I didn't expect the person who makes the most money in the game to be Luolita!
Sanyue: I don't know when such good luck will come to me! I also want to test the new map!
Yanghuai to Sanyue: Should we go to Gannaer next door to take a look?
……
The players' discussion quickly veered off into who knows where; Chen Zhi tapped his hand on the ground, thinking with some distress that he hadn't expected Awakening to be divided into levels.
He immediately summoned the Illusionist Heinke to inquire about it.
"Do you know how many stages Awakening is divided into?" Chen Zhi very much wanted to know whether this Illusionist was hiding anything.
"I have only heard of it, but I don't know how many stages it is divided into..." Heinke thought for a moment before saying, "An entry-level Illusionist like me can only affect the surrounding environment, merge with the environment, and make myself a part of the Illusion. But those powerful Illusionists can even directly conjure an entire city."
"An entire city?"
"Yes, the whole city is fake; people would just think the food they eat is real and the place they sleep is real, but everything is illusory. If one cannot break it, one might die in this fake city within a few days," Heinke said, shivering.
Although he was an Illusionist, just thinking about it made him feel terrified.
"It seems that a good Illusionist can not only deceive the eyes and ears but can also deceive other senses," Chen Zhi continued, saying to Anna, who was cleaning nearby, "Have you also heard of this kind of claim? Do witches have any advanced abilities?"
"This... I have heard that powerful witches can use a Mirror to perform divination and can know whether a Magic Potion formula is correct without trial and error; they are born with the ability to distinguish those formulas," Anna said in a low voice, "I am very sorry, I have never successfully performed divination using a Mirror, and I have never made a Magic Potion."
"It doesn't matter; I can have the new Believers cooperate with you for testing, letting them try those Spiritual Materials and experiment to see if the formulas are correct," Chen Zhi said coldly; after all, there were plenty of players who were essentially lab rats.
As long as Luolita returned, he would be able to know what those formulas were, and then he could have the players test them.
What if there was a real one among the cheap formulas?
When the time comes, he would just have Anna brew them; perhaps a quantitative change could even lead to a qualitative change.
