The silhouette of the businessman disappeared into the sparse forest.
Looking away, Anna suggested to Lu Li: "You should ask about homologous products."
"The merchant only sells basic equipment."
Lu Li once asked. It's a pity that the merchant is not a Secret Treasure Pavilion. What he sells are the most basic items of the same origin, such as psychic guns or impractical daggers.
Although they do recycle other congeners.
Now, they have more important things to do.
There are less than three days until the Time of Silence envelopes the Allen Peninsula, and they must complete the expansion of the cave before the third disaster arrives.
Safety is more important to an evacuation point than space. Therefore, the thickness of the deep sea stone wall in this expansion will be increased from 10 centimeters to 1 meter.
It can be expected that after the expansion, the shelter, or safe house, will be able to withstand most weird attacks.
At least Anna, as a wraith, has difficulty penetrating the one meter thick deep sea stone.
This safe house worth 100 billion contribution points seems to be worth the money.
The whole morning after that, the top of the cliff was occupied by the sound of drilling.
The furniture in the shelter and the contents of the cellar were temporarily moved out of the cave to make room for Jimmy, who was working as a worker.
The hard rock wall is similar to solidified sand and gravel for the claws of Jimmy's monster body, and three deep claw marks will be plowed out every time it is scratched.
However, the excavation speed is much slower than at the beginning.
Because in the beginning, Ampere was also helping.
It just curls up on itself and starts rolling, and the rock wall under the hard shell will be sliced open like butter.
It's just that Ampere made too much noise, and the sand on the top of the cliff trembled when it rolled. Remi had to stop Ampere from destroying it and let it go to play in the elm forest - if he let it help, the cave might be destroyed before it was expanded.
Collapse.
But even if only Jimmy was working, the cave was nearly halfway excavated towards evening.
As expected, the deep sea stones will be laid at noon tomorrow and the safe house will be moved into. It would be faster if the construction is done overnight, but unfortunately it is not safe at night filled with strange fog.
The sky became dark, something seemed to emerge from the depths of the sea, and a strange mist spread toward the land.
Tonight, Lu Li temporarily stayed in the cabin of Jimmy's brother and sister. Remi stayed and guarded Lu Li with Anna. Jimmy was driven to Amp and the children. The two wooden houses were only a few meters apart, so they could appear quickly no matter what happened.
Lu Li didn't go to sleep. He sat in front of the fire and took out the "Sound of Misery" that he had only read a few pages of.
The author Flo Mitchell is unknown. At least many of the books taken out of Erin's library have the author's deeds written on them. However, the title page of this book is blank and there is nothing except the author's name.
The protagonist has the most common name in the Main Continent, Jamie. But he is anything but ordinary. In Flo Mitchell's fictional world, he is the youngest and most popular alchemist, no one else.
While most alchemists are hiding in dark basements developing alchemical products, Jamie is already making a lot of money with alchemy. He has developed many popular alchemical products. Even people who stand in the sun will shine instantly.
There are hair-growing potions that grow lush hair. There are potions that will keep you from getting drunk no matter how much beer you drink, but they are limited to wheat wine. There are also captivating potions that will emit a charming fragrance for weeks if you pour them on your body.
There is also the most popular happiness potion, which can dispel any negative emotions and make people happy.
Even kings admire these alchemical potions.
Jamie, who had already gained wealth and honor in his twenties, suddenly felt confused and felt that he had lost the goal of moving forward.
A few words later, the time spans thirty years, and Jamie is almost fifty years old. Although he is still popular as a knight and an alchemist master, he still has not found a goal to move forward.
It wasn't until one time when he was walking to the desk that he was hit by a table leg on his calf, and the doctor actually told him that the bone was broken. Only then did Jamie realize that he had been confused for thirty years and that he was already old.
Jamie didn't want to lose everything he had now, so he regained his goal of moving forward, but this time it was no longer to become a great alchemist, but... to live forever.
The story of the potion of immortality has been circulated among alchemists. Young Jamie once sneered at this, and now Jamie scorned his younger self and began to search for it.
He gained nothing.
Jamie decided to develop his own immortality potion. After all, in the eyes of most people, he is the smartest alchemist.
This is indeed the case.
The first potion of immortality was quickly prepared, but author Flo Mitchell made some small mistakes here.
Flo Mitchell is obviously not a nobleman, or a middle-aged person with enough experience and contact with the upper class.
Because in the book, honor and wealth are added to it, and Jamie, who holds a title, makes the potion and actually tests it on himself instead of using death row prisoners or slaves.
However, it may also be a loophole to allow the plot to proceed smoothly.
The story continues. After drinking the potion, Jamie became several years younger, but he also paid a price for it - he lost...his sense of pain.
Jamie was not very satisfied. It wasn't because he couldn't feel the burn when eating, nor was it because he was bitten by a non-venomous snake and only discovered it a few days later, but because he was a few years younger and was still in his forties and had to go to the toilet.
A middle-aged man who has to urinate for a long time.
The immortality potion can still be improved, so there is no reason to give up on it.
Losing the sense of pain sounds good, but many trivial things in daily life can cause trouble, such as being pierced by a nail and feeling nothing, and only finding out that the shoe is full of blood when you slip on it.
Jamie had to hire a personal servant to take care of his daily life. As for a wife? Alchemists don’t need wives, or in other words, alchemy knowledge is their wives.
Soon, an improved version of the immortality potion was successfully developed, but he still tested it on himself. Jamie felt that his physical condition had returned to his 30s, well... 39 years old.
However, there were still side effects. Jamie lost his sense of smell.
This is a bit bad for Jamie. Jamie is a very picky person when it comes to food, but now that he has lost his sense of smell, he no longer has the concept of "smell" and "stink". This has greatly affected his sense of taste.
When eating, you can only taste the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy.
In other words, he can't tell which one tastes better, a medium-aged steak or a medium-aged pork chop. They both have the same salty taste.
So Jamie improved the immortality potion, hoping to remove the first two negative effects.
What I lost this time was my sense of taste.
Jamie couldn't help but stop, because he had returned to the prime of his thirties, and he didn't have much left...
Vision, hearing, touch.
No matter which one he can't lose. If he fails at most twice, he will never have the possibility of starting over again.
More than ten years have passed, during which Jamie has been improving the potion, and drank the immortality potion on his fiftieth birthday.
[Jamie drank it like he had been drinking coffee for more than ten years, without hesitation or spilling it. Alchemists don’t like liquids getting everywhere——]
Bang bang——
A dull sound broke the silence.
Lu Li raised his eyes after turning the page in the book, Remi stopped sewing, and Anna spread her aura to protect Lu Li.
There was a knock on the door outside the mist-shrouded hut.
