From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

Chapter 89 The Philosopher's Stone (Seeking monthly votes)

The liquid inside was drained, and Guan Luo opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, but what was most striking were his pair of bright golden pupils.

Even though the underground laboratory had its lights on, those bright golden eyes were still dazzling.

Name: Guan Luo ID: Contractor 100861009

Level: LV.1

Health: 87%

Mana: 220

Power: 19

Agility: 18

Stamina: 18

Intelligence: 22

Charm: 6 (Locked)

Luck: 1

Strength, stamina, and intelligence each increased by 1 point. Guan Luo's attributes have now caught up with Erii's; he even has a slight edge in stamina.

However, Guan Luo felt that he was nearing the end of his path to godhood.

The concentration of dragon blood in my body can't be any higher; any higher and I'd be inhuman.

This business trip lasted quite a while. After returning to the lakeside cabin, Guan Luo and Erii rested for a few days before heading to the Execution Department to take on new missions.

Generally, there are clear hierarchical divisions among specialists, and promotions can be made by completing tasks at the corresponding level.

However, upon hearing that Guan Luo and Erii were going to take on a mission, the people in the Execution Department were overjoyed and immediately reported to Minister Schneider.

Special approval came quickly, and Minister Schneider granted them unlimited authority to take on assignments.

At the same time, the rewards are also maximized, which is one of the benefits of high reputation, although it doesn't significantly increase the amount of reputation points gained.

The only difference is that the material rewards have increased significantly; for example, a single mission can earn hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

For the next two months, Guan Luo and Erii traveled all over the world.

I went to Havasupai Falls with Patrick Star. We walked a long way, and my feet were a little sore, but I didn't let Patrick Star carry me. Erii was great.

The water here is drinkable, and it tastes a bit sweet. I splashed water from the waterfall onto Patrick's hair, and Erii seemed a little naughty.

7.6

Patrick and I went to Flying Geyser in Nevada. The stones there were colorful and emitted steam, like the earth was breathing. The ranch owner said it was an alien base. We took pictures together.

7.11

Go to the Mendenhall Ice Cave with Patrick. The ice is bluer than the sky. Patrick holds SpongeBob's hand the whole time, and the ice on the ground is very slippery.

7.24

Patrick and SpongeBob went to the Dead Wasteland, where there were strangely shaped rocks everywhere. At night, the sky was very dark, but there were many stars. Patrick and SpongeBob counted the stars together. The Milky Way was brighter than the Tokyo Tower.

8.6

Go to Thor's Well with Patrick Star. The ocean flows through the stone cave like a giant eye. Patrick Star shields SpongeBob from the wind. Patrick Star is the best.

These appear to be Erii's diary, but they can actually be considered their mission log.

Many dragons leave "cocoons" in unusual places.

Or to put it another way, it is precisely because of the dragon's cocoon that this place has become extraordinary.

For example, at Havasupai Falls, a local exploration team discovered strange and unusual things in the nearby valley.

The Executive Department confirmed that it was a fourth-generation species, and it looked like a dragon from the lineage of the King of the Earth and Mountains.

However, the fourth-generation species was no match for Guan Luo and Erii; they simply kicked it like a ball, though it was a bit uncomfortable. Erii kicked it twice and then stopped.

Guan Luo opened a treasure chest and got some Paradise Coins from it.

What's unusual is that I found a Philosopher's Stone inside; this treasure chest is quite random.

The Philosopher's Stone - Small

Origin: Dragon World Quality: Blue Rating: 60

Effects: A product of alchemy, involving the fifth element, the Philosopher's Stone is extremely poisonous to all creatures with dragon blood, possessing the power to harm even dragon kings. It can also substitute for some hard-to-find forging materials. The spiritual element it contains can counteract the side effects of incantations.

Guan Luo was familiar with the Philosopher's Stone; it was capable of severely injuring the Dragon King and was frequently mentioned in the original work. However, he had never heard of its subsequent use.

Perhaps because the Philosopher's Stone is too precious, no one uses it to counteract the side effects of Word of Power.

The effects of most hybrid species' incantations are unlikely to be enough to severely injure the Dragon King; even among the next generation, few could reliably kill him.

Therefore, no one would think of using the Philosopher's Stone to counteract the side effects of Word of Power; that would be a waste.

It has to be said that this thing came at just the right time. Guan Luo was still thinking about how to deal with Samson. This was Erii's mission. To kill him, she would most likely have to use Word of Power. This thing can just help to counteract it.

However, judging from its size, it's only the size of a fingernail. Guan Luo probably only needs to use his Word of Power once to completely deplete it.

As for the incident at the Flying Fountain in Nevada, the farmer's cellar contained an out-of-control hybrid that appeared to be his son.

He initially greeted Guan Luo and Erii with a smile, but only when they headed straight for the cellar did he pull out his hunting rifle and point it at them.

He was knocked unconscious by Guan Luo's slap and died.

The out-of-control hybrid in the cellar can no longer be called human; it has completely turned into a corpse, its mind is unclear, it has dragon-like qualities, but it does not have the powerful spiritual qualities of a dragon, and after evolving, it is equivalent to a beast.

Sometimes, the dangers posed by these out-of-control hybrids are even greater than those of pure-blooded dragons.

Many resurrected dragons, especially those of lower bloodlines, will go into hiding. Modern human technology is still quite effective against dragons below the third generation level; it's just that they are difficult to locate and find.

Deadpool, his head crushed, was left in the basement, waiting for the Academy to come and collect his body.

Sometimes Guan Luo felt that they weren't there to carry out a mission, but rather to take care of things casually while traveling.

By mid-August, Guan Luo and Erii had finally accumulated enough reputation points to exchange for the Alchemy branch of the Potion branch.

On their respective panels, each of them now has an additional branch of alchemy.

But then a problem arose: alchemy is difficult to learn and hard to master.

Now that this hurdle has been overcome, when using the scrolls of the Comprehensive Alchemy Manual, a wealth of basic knowledge floods into my mind, saving me at least a few years of effort.

However, further improvement in alchemy becomes extremely difficult. Self-learning is very slow; it requires studying numerous specialized books and constant experimentation.

Guan Luo and Erii have no shortage of materials to practice with; they only need to go to the academy's equipment department to practice. However, blindly practicing without direction will result in very slow progress.

At this moment, Guan Luo realized that there was another alchemy master within the academy. All alchemy techniques must share commonalities.

So Guan Luo took a bottle of Scotch De Ville vodka and went to the clock tower with Erii.

This stuff isn't cheap; it cost him and Erii a good portion of their earnings from the mission. Just this one bottle cost nearly a million dollars.
