Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 38 Potions Knowledge Tree
The definition of potion science is the continuous fusion and collision of materials with extraordinary properties in specific proportions and through special techniques to ultimately form the required extraordinary potion.

As a unique and mature auxiliary profession for the wizard profession, Potions involves a huge amount of knowledge.

After long years of research and evolution, modern wizards have divided potion science into five branches: material science, pharmacology, compatibility science, alchemy, and toxicology.

Among them, materials science mainly studies the characteristics, classification, formation methods, collection and storage methods of various extraordinary materials.

Pharmacology is about understanding the effects of different potions on users, as well as their sequelae, etc. It is somewhat similar to conducting clinical trial research.

Compatibility science is relatively complicated, mainly to study the interaction between different potions and the reasonable combination of formulas when making potions.

Alchemy is to explore how to refine and prepare pure extraordinary properties, and remove those parts that are easy to cause pollution and distortion.

At first, Wayne wondered why alchemy was placed under the branch of potions.

But after reading the contents of "Introduction to Potions-Basic Theory of Potions", he realized that this alchemy is just a very small branch of alchemy.

In the general sense, alchemy has higher requirements, and the knowledge that needs to be learned and mastered is more extensive than potion science.

As for the last toxicology... It is just opposite to the research direction of pharmacology, mainly how to make use of the pollution characteristics of extraordinary materials to produce poisons that accelerate pollution or distortion.

Seeing this, Wei En had a basic understanding of potions.

The division of categories is very detailed, and the corresponding study and research will consume more time.

But these are still acceptable. When he saw the equipment and equipment that might be involved in making potions later, he became depressed.

Precise balance, crucible, isolation array, protective clothing...

The purchase price of each piece is more than 1 gold pound, especially the isolation circle, which needs 5 gold pounds to buy.

Wei En unbelievingly opened "Potion Formula (Apprentice Edition)", and looked at the three potions listed above, Enlightenment Potion, Healing Potion and Spiritual Defense Potion.

Not to mention the extraordinary materials needed, the necessary equipment for making these potions include crucibles, precise balances, protective gloves and material stirrers...

Adding these things together, it will cost about 7 gold pounds.

Immediately afterwards, he opened "Material Science (Apprentice Edition)", compared the content of the formula, and found those extraordinary materials.

The result is very gratifying——

For example, the Enlightenment Potion requires the source quality of the wraith, the brain of the black toad, and a kind of octopus foot from the Kordo Sea. One ingredient will cost 15 shillings.

The selling price of finished products is divided into low, middle and high grades according to the quality of the potion. The price of a low-grade Enlightenment potion is 18 shillings. Adding labor costs, it is equal to neither loss nor profit.

Wei En couldn't help but swear, "Where are you stealing money?"

Not to mention 5 gold pounds, all the money he had combined was only enough to buy the base of the isolation circle...

but,

He also knew in his heart that it would be impossible not to buy these things.

Not to mention anything else, let's just take the most expensive isolation circle.

When dealing with those extraordinary materials, some pollution characteristics will be spilled. Without the protection of the isolation circle, they can only rely on their own strength to resist.

It's okay to encounter the "Gonzalez" parchment, and his spiritual strength is enough to suppress it.

But if they encounter pollution like the source of despair, most of the apprentices will die completely.

"It seems that you don't want to try to make potions today..."

Wei En sighed helplessly, and then read the rest of the knowledge about Potions.

With his current spiritual level, it is not difficult to remember these contents.

But if he could choose, he would rather not remember it.

Especially when looking at the knowledge about compatibility and alchemy, the price of each piece of research equipment needed for those experimental environments is astronomical...

"No wonder the potion is so expensive. Not counting the loss during production, the initial investment alone is not affordable for ordinary people."

Wei En is now extremely envious of the wizard apprentices who have been selected to study within the school, and envies that they can use the potion laboratory within the school.

[You have successfully completed the study of the basic knowledge of potion science and opened the knowledge tree of potion science.Evaluation: Poverty limits your development, poor stranger.Special reward: Survival Point +3, Resilience Level +1. 】

[Note: Potion science is an epoch-making invention. Its appearance changed the direction of the river of fate to a certain extent, but it also brought bad luck in some aspects. 】

At this time, the panel prompts that the knowledge tree of potion science has been opened.

Wei En glanced at it, didn't bother to look at it anymore, and put away the several rolls of parchment.

A tree of knowledge that doesn’t even have a recipe, and can’t even add points, what’s the point?
After packing up the things on the desktop, Wayne started the "typewriter" and started today's intelligence uploading work.

I believe that with the information on the disappearance case in the slums that has been investigated today, I can exchange for some more money.

Now he felt like he was in a daze. After survival point anxiety, he suffered from golden pound anxiety syndrome.

Especially after seeing the consumption of potions knowledge, his desire for money became even stronger.

"On August 1578, 8 in the new calendar, the weather was fine."

"Today, I took great risks to go deep into the city-state of Castor, Laos, to investigate the reason for the disappearance of people. I was very unlucky to witness the battle between the city-state's secret investigation department and the eternal life society, Claire with Thousand Faces..."

Out of prudent considerations, Wei En did not tell about his joining the Secret Investigation Department, but reported the entire intelligence collection work from a third perspective.

Just as he didn't tell Lacey and others the fact that he was a wizard apprentice, he kept his hand in everything.

"...Finally, against all odds, the 326 missing people were found deep in Laos. It can be determined that these people were sacrificed by the Despair Sect and have turned into mummies."

"in addition,"

After writing this, Wei En thought for a moment, and did not choose to report the information about the taboo 034 resuscitated coffin.

Firstly, the news of the taboo is too important, and secondly, the progress of encountering the resuscitated coffin has reached 20.00%, and after spreading through the schools, the progress may reach 40.00%.

Moreover, he was very worried that after the report was made, the liaison officer would directly assign him the task of investigating taboos.

I can't even hide in time, but I still have to take the initiative to get up, isn't that crazy?

"There is no clue about the Holy Family of the Church of Dawn. I will do my best to investigate clearly, but with the Church of Dawn's power in the city-state of Custer, I'm afraid it will..."

"On the road to pursuing knowledge, death is not the end - Yours sincerely, Wayne Loft, intelligence officer of the Custer City State."

Wei En described in detail the dominance of the Church of Dawn, and stated that the task of investigating the holy family is difficult.

Trying to infect the liaison officer with such brushwork, I hope she can have a few more days of grace.

It should be ok……
