I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Chapter 153 Night Watchman Points

Sunlight streamed into the alchemy workshop, falling on the worktables.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the stage, holding a handful of silver leaf grass in his hand, carefully removing the soil from the roots.

Beside her, however, Laurinna was not brewing any high-quality potions as usual.

She stared at the liquid in the crucible, her brow slightly furrowed, gently stirring it with a wooden spoon in her hand. Her movements were much slower than usual, as if she were waiting for something.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Perfect quality." Laurina said without looking up, "A sanity potion, perfect quality."

Lu Yuan paused for a moment.

A perfect quality potion is far more effective than a good quality one, but it is also much more expensive.

But for the Night Watchers' orders, only the standard quality is needed.

"Prepare in advance?"

Lauren was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Mm."

Her voice was calm, but Lu Yuan detected a barely perceptible urgency in it.

They all heard what the night watchman said last night.

The Tower of Learning is putting pressure on them, but the Night's Watch's attitude... is hard to say.

Laurene knew better than anyone that her situation could change at any moment.

"Let's make as many as we can while we still can." Her gaze remained fixed on the cauldron. "Perfect quality sanity potions can be lifesavers in a pinch."

"Moreover, the perfect sanity potion is the simplest to make. If the sanity potion cannot be made, the others cannot be made either."

Lu Yuan remained silent.

He understood her thoughts.

Instead of sitting here daydreaming, it's better to do something practical and build up your confidence.

"Do you need my help?"

"Hmm." Laurina nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on the crucible. "The silverleaf needs to be processed more carefully; the impurities on the roots must be thoroughly cleaned. Perfect quality requires very high-quality raw materials."

Lu Yuan adjusted his technique as instructed, handling the materials in his hands with even greater care.

[Pharmacology: +0.2...]

The experience bar jumped slightly.

Time passed little by little.

Laurena's movements became increasingly cautious, and her adjustments to the heat were precise down to every minute change.

But Lu Yuan noticed that her brows were furrowing more and more tightly.

The liquid's color was already very close to the standard of perfect quality, but it was still just a little bit off.

"Failed again." Laurina put down the wooden spoon, her tone filled with suppressed frustration.

"What happened?"

"It's a problem with the equipment." She pointed to the crucible. "The material of this crucible isn't pure enough, so trace amounts of impurities seep in when it's heated. You can't usually tell, but with perfect quality..."

Lu Yuan looked at the crucible.

It looks no different from an ordinary crucible, and its surface is even quite smooth.

"It's not just the crucible," Laurina continued. "The mortar and pestle don't grind the powder finely enough, so the particle size of the medicinal powder doesn't meet the requirements. The measuring tools aren't precise enough either, so there will be slight deviations in the proportions."

She paused, then added, "And the still, if it's not sealed properly, will lose some of the volatile components."

"This equipment is barely enough for good quality, but to achieve perfect quality..." She shook her head, "we'll have to rely on quantity..."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, because what he lacked most right now was time.

"It's a pity I couldn't bring my own set with me, sigh..."

Laurina paused midway through her sentence.

It was as if some unpleasant memory had been triggered.

Her expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

"Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Lu Yuan didn't press further, but instead asked, "Can you buy professional equipment?"

"It's not easy," Laurina shook her head. "Professional-grade alchemy equipment is expensive, and it's not something you can just buy with money. It needs to be custom-made by an alchemy workshop, and the process takes a long time. There aren't any readily available in the Bronze City market."

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

He remembered that he still had quite a few points on his badge, which he had accumulated in Grim Harbor and hadn't spent much of.

Perhaps... we can exchange for it with the Night Watch?

Moreover, I can use this equipment myself.

"I'll go to the Night Watch base," Lu Yuan said, "to see if there's anything we can do."

Laurena looked up and glanced at him.

"Go ahead," she replied softly, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of the wooden spoon. "I'll continue making high-quality ones with this equipment; the Night Watch's order can't be delayed."

The streets of Bronze City are very wide.

Sunlight shines on the stone-paved road, and pedestrians come and go.

Lu Yuan walked through several streets and arrived at the area where the Night Watch branch was located.

The atmosphere at the Night Watch base is currently very oppressive.

I can sense that something is happening lately.

The watchmen who came and went hurried along, their expressions solemn, and few stopped to talk.

Lu Yuan showed his badge and successfully entered the base.

He found the place in charge of redeeming points, a window in a side building, where a middle-aged man sat with an indifferent expression.

"Exchange it." Lu Yuan handed over the badge.

The middle-aged man took the badge and placed it on a metal tray.

The runes on the tray lit up and numbers began to appear.

then.

The middle-aged man stopped moving.

He stared at the numbers on the tray, his gaze shifting from indifference to astonishment, and then he abruptly stood up.

The chair made a screeching sound.

"Nine hundred and thirty-seven?"

His voice rose a notch, as if he had seen something incredible.

Lu Yuan himself was also taken aback.

Keep in mind that completing a mission usually only earns around ten points.

I accumulated enough points in Grimm to redeem just enough for a revolver.

What task did I receive that resulted in so many points being assigned to me?

But that doesn't matter anymore; what matters is that I seem to have "money" now.

The middle-aged man sat down again, but his posture was completely different now.

He straightened his back and his expression became respectful and cautious.

"Excuse me, my apologies." He took a deep breath and checked the numbers on the tray again. "I've worked here for thirteen years, and this is the first time I've seen more than five hundred points."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with obvious respect.

"It seems you have made outstanding contributions to the Empire."

Lu Yuan did not answer.

But the Night's Watch's points cannot be faked.

Every point has undergone rigorous review and represents a life-or-death struggle in a particular mission.

"What do you need to exchange?" The middle-aged man's attitude had completely changed, his tone now cautiously polite. "Tools, weapons, potions... or something special? I can explain in detail."

He paused, then added, "With your points, you can redeem many restricted items. And..."

He lowered his voice, with a hint of ingratiation: "We can deliver the exchanged items to your door free of charge, or assist you with their use."

"Take a look at the table of contents first." Lu Yuan did not answer immediately.

"Of course." The middle-aged man immediately took out the thick booklet from under the counter and respectfully pushed it in front of Lu Yuan. "Please take a look."

Lu Yuan opened the booklet.

The first page contains tools.

He quickly found what he needed.

The options for alchemical instruments are very clear:

Basic Alchemy Equipment Set: 10 points

Professional Alchemy Equipment Set: 25 points

Master-level Alchemy Equipment Set: 150 points

He glanced at the professional-grade description: it includes refining crucibles, fine grinding mortars, precision measuring tools, sealed distillation apparatus, etc., suitable for the refining of pharmaceuticals of excellent to perfect quality.

This is acceptable.

Lu Yuan made a mental note of it and continued flipping through the pages.

Weapons.

Silver-plated short sword: 15 points

Enchanted Revolver: 30 points

Mithril Dagger: 80 points

Rune Longbow: 120 points

...

Pharmaceuticals.

Rationality Potion (Excellent): 1 point/bottle

Healing Potion (Perfect): 3 points/bottle

Blessing Potion (Rare): 40 points/bottle
