Riding on the carriage heading to the laboratory, Chai Anping couldn't help but start to think about what he saw and felt today. The benefits brought by his status as Viscount seemed to be beyond his imagination.
Both Julian and Finks were rushing to win over him, probably not because of his status as an inspector. After all, even Julian knew that his immediate boss was indifferent.
The inspector is not a small officer, but he basically has to cooperate with the Department of Public Security even when handling cases. It is difficult to fully exert his power and it depends on people's opinions.
"What's so good about Viscount?"
The treatment was completely different from that of a baron, which aroused Chai Anping's great curiosity, but none of them had any idea of explaining it to him... They seemed to have made up their mind to tell themselves something after he joined them.
secret.
"Or you can find out privately from those senior viscounts, but they may also win over you on behalf of the big boss."
When the carriage drove to the laboratory, Chai Anping couldn't think of a way out. The shortcomings of having no connections and resources in the capital were exposed.
Pushing open the door, Prosesi, who was still recovering from his injuries, was already studying the basics of alchemy in the laboratory. When he saw Chai Anping, he stood up quickly.
"My lord, you are here!"
"How's the injury?" Chai Anping nodded, went over to check his learning progress, and unexpectedly found that he was learning quite quickly.
Although there are various colleges and libraries in the city of Demacia, it does not mean that the cultural level of most people is high. As far as Chai Anping understands, most of them just stay at the step of "literacy" and want to
It's not that easy to understand the words in alchemy books.
"Hey, sir, it's no longer in the way." Prosthesi said respectfully: "After using the best treatment potion, normal activities are no longer in the way."
"That's good!"
"I asked someone to ask for the two medicines that your Excellency ordered me to buy, and I have already bought them!" Prosesi took out a single tube of medicine and a group of twelve tubes from the package.
"[Charging Cake] is difficult to buy. Now I can only buy one set. The boss there said that if you want to follow up, you have to wait for the next batch." Prose Xihui reported: "[Light Potion] is 20 gold coins per tube.
, [Charging Cake] costs 5 gold coins per tube, totaling 80 gold coins. The money was withdrawn from the [Stone Potion] that the adults asked me to sell. 7 tubes of qualified quality potions cost 20 gold coins each, and 3 excellent tubes
And if it can reach 25 gold coins, the shop over there also said that if there is such a potion, they will accept it no matter how much it is."
Proseci couldn't help but look forward to this tone when he talked about it. How much did the banned drugs he sold in the past cost?
A tube held up to the sky held dozens of silver coins!
And a batch of alchemical potions refined by adults can easily be sold for a high price of 215 gold coins!
Although alchemy is more expensive for adults...
"Didn't I tell you that I took a tube of excellent quality stone potion and used it?" Upon hearing this, Chai Anping slapped him with an alchemy book angrily: "I'm so short of money?"
"Hey, it's a great kindness for the adults to teach the young alchemy. If the young one asks for it shamelessly, he is not a human being!" Prosesi said seriously: "These are two different things!"
"Okay, okay."
Chai Anping smiled and waved his hand: "Anyway, you can refine it yourself or buy it yourself."
"Yes, sir!"
Chai Anping really didn't expect that the stubborn stone potion could be sold for such a high price, but when converted into the potion he needed, the price was not outrageous.
There are nine levels of alchemy potions, and the price increases geometrically as you go up level one.
With this money, Chai Anping can officially start his next plan!
"Proseci, put down the book first, and then buy me a batch of materials for refining the hard stone potion." Chai Anping rolled up his sleeves and got ready to get started.
"Yes, sir!"
After setting up the vessels and crucibles required for refining, Prothesi quickly rushed back with the materials. The golden coins encouraged him to speed up his pace.
Because refining the stone potion required his own alchemical flames, Chai Anping found an excuse to send the little fat man away. Looking at the sad look on the little fat man's face, he found it a bit funny.
"Don't go far, go somewhere with me later."
After a while——
"Finish!"
Chai Anping put the magic power into the test tube with some joy: "Excellent quality!"
"The proficiency has improved again. The first tube is of excellent quality. Next, just refine another tube of qualified quality."
It is easier to refine potions of qualified quality. He only needs to delay the process for a few seconds in the rhythm that requires precise jamming.
Not long after, Chai Anping walked out of the laboratory with two test tubes twisted between his fingers. He refined two tubes of valuable medicine so quickly that Prosesi, who had been waiting outside the door, was stunned.
.
The third-level potion... was refined just like that?!
"Ho--"
"Don't be stupid." Chai Anping stuffed the potion into Prosesi's bag: "Come to the arena with me."
"Hmm...huh? What are you doing in the arena, sir?"
Chai Anping laughed enigmatically: "When you go to the arena, of course you sign up to compete."
Prothesi:???
Chai Anping didn't explain much to his younger brother. He might have been thinking that could the little money he earned from fighting life and death in the arena compare to the two tubes of medicine in his bag?
The capital's arena is three miles outside the city's north gate and is very large. Most of the people who go out to the city's north gate on weekdays go here. Even late at night, the city's north gate is crowded with people coming and going.
There is also a carriage business in the north of the city that specializes in traveling between the two places. I heard that it is also a chamber of commerce, and it makes a lot of money relying on its arena.
The two of them came to the north gate of the city, and there was a completely new scenery here.
There are rows of carriages lined up in an orderly manner on the vast marble square, and a shed-style office is constantly attracting passengers.
There is also a main hall not far away, which is a place for gamblers to exchange their tickets.
In the arena, except for the honor duel where the contract is signed, everything else can be opened. Of course, this is different from the "glory competition" that Chai Anping will participate in. The honor duel is more like the kind of grudge battle that the Lawrence family participates in.
Switching to carriages without any trouble, the two of them asked the coachman to drive out of the city and straight to the arena.
"Sir, do you really want to participate?"
Proseci naturally knew that the Glory Competition was about to start. He also saw Chai Anping's skills yesterday... I'm sure you didn't bluff him.
But for a distinguished alchemist master, why bother?
How dishonorable is it to be like a warrior who fights life and death?
I have to say that Prosesi, a fat guy who used to buy banned drugs, has very different ideas from the Demacia people. At least Chai Anping didn't think that this girl took the "sense of honor" advocated by Demacia at heart.
