Zongman: The post-2D era

So, he deliberately showed his greed and stupidity for the elixir of immortality and asked the man in black: "So, what do you need me to do to get the elixir of immortality?"

The man in black looked at Feng Feng, and the smile on his face became even more sinister. He took a step closer to Feng Feng and whispered, "I need you to find a legendary gem. This gem has magical power that can awaken the will of the immortal god."

Feng Feng's heart tightened, but he tried to stay calm and asked, "So, where is this gem?"

The man in black smiled mysteriously and said, "You will need to find it. I can cast a spell on you to guide you in the right direction to find the gem."

Feng Feng hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether the man in black could be trusted.

However, he knew he had to take action to find clues, so he took a deep breath and nodded.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly appeared behind Feng Feng. She looked at Feng Feng with eyes full of worry and vigilance.

She asked, "Feng Feng, why did you skip class? Do you know what you are doing?"

Feng Feng turned around and saw Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, and was surprised.

He didn't know why Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka appeared here, but he knew she must be here to protect him.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka walked up to Feng Feng, looked him in the eyes, and said, "Feng Feng, you must wake up. This man in black is a liar. He is just using you and deceiving you. He is not the Black Alchemist."

"I know who the real Black Alchemist is."

Chapter 522 The True Black Alchemist

Wednesday, December 13

Feng Feng looked at Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka and felt touched. He knew that Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka was doing this for his own good and was afraid that he would be tested.

Feng Feng was conflicted by what Shizuka Hiratsuka said. He didn't know what to do, but he knew Shizuka Hiratsuka would not harm him.

Suddenly, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka grabbed Feng Feng's hand and pulled him out.

Her eyes were firm and resolute. Feng Feng only felt that his body was being pulled by a force and he left that strange place in an instant.

"Feng Feng, what are you still thinking about?" Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice was a little stern, "You should go back to class now and forget about those messed up things."

Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled Feng Feng and walked quickly through the forest. Her eyes were firm and decisive, as if everything was under her control.

Feng Feng was pulled by her power and had to keep up with her. Their footsteps echoed in the forest, as if they were chasing some unknown danger.

After walking out of the forest, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka finally stopped. She looked at Feng Feng with a serious look in her eyes.

She said, "Feng Feng, you must understand that the man in black is a liar. The real Black Alchemist is you."

Feng Feng looked at Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka and felt grateful. He knew that Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka was really doing this for his own good.

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka's words made Feng Feng excited. He knew that he had been looking for the answer all along, and now, he finally found it.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Feng Feng with a gleam of trust in her eyes. She knew that Feng Feng was a smart, kind, and responsible person who would definitely make the right decision.

The two returned to the academy together, and teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka took Feng Feng to his classroom. She told Feng Feng that his classmates were waiting for him to come back.

When Feng Feng walked into the classroom, the students cheered. They saw a confident, determined and brave boy, no longer the confused person.

Hikigaya Hachiman was sitting in the corner of the classroom, and the moment he saw Feng Feng walk in, his eyes lit up. He stood up and walked towards Feng Feng.

"Feng Feng, you're back." Hikigaya Hachiman said with a smile, "We were all worried that something might happen to you."

Feng Feng looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and felt grateful. He knew that Hikigaya Hachiman really cared about him.

"Thank you for your concern." Feng Feng said, "I'm fine."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Feng Feng with admiration in his eyes. He knew that Feng Feng was a brave, smart, and kind person who would definitely make the right decision.

"Feng Feng, you need to rest." Hikigaya Hachiman said, "I will help you arrange everything."

Hikigaya Hachiman waited until the get out of class was over, then he walked up to Feng Feng and said softly, "Feng Feng, come with me."

Hikigaya Hachiman and Feng Feng were in the corridor. The corridor was empty except for the two of them.

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Feng Feng, his eyes flashing with concern. He asked: "Feng Feng, are you okay? How much do you know?"

Feng Feng nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your concern."

His voice was a little weak, but his eyes were full of determination and courage.

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Feng Feng and was moved. He believed that Feng Feng would definitely come out of the shadows and cheer up again.

Hikigaya Hachiman brought Feng Feng to the alchemy workshop.

This mysterious place is full of the atmosphere of alchemy. Ancient alchemical paintings and formulas are hung on the walls, as well as many strange instruments and books.

Hikigaya Hachiman showed Feng Feng some alchemy techniques, which surprised him greatly. He never thought that alchemy could be so mysterious and interesting.

Hikigaya Hachiman told him that alchemy is a science of exploring nature and understanding the essence of the world, and only those who truly understand nature can master it.

Feng Feng watched Hikigaya Hachiman skillfully operate the instrument and his heart was filled with respect.

He knew he had a lot to learn to become a true black alchemist. He decided to learn alchemy from Hikigaya Hachiman and work hard to master it.

"Hikigaya, what is alchemy?" Feng Feng asked curiously.

Hikigaya Hachiman stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at Feng Feng with a gentle smile on his face. He explained: "Alchemy is a discipline that explores nature and understands the essence of the world. It is not only a technology, but also a philosophical thought."

“Through alchemy, we can understand the nature of matter, master the laws of its changes, and thus create new substances.”

He walked to a table and picked up a transparent glass bottle containing a light yellow liquid.

He showed Feng Feng the bottle and shook it gently. The liquid began to emit a faint glow, twinkling like stars.

"This is the wonder of alchemy." Hikigaya Hachiman said with a smile, "Through alchemy, we can control the changes of matter and create what we want."

"However, alchemy is not a simple technique. It requires a deep understanding of nature and a grasp of the essence of the world. Only those who truly understand nature can grasp the essence of alchemy."

Feng Feng looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and asked again:

"Hikigaya, I used to be a black alchemist?" Feng Feng asked curiously.

Hikigaya Hachiman smiled slightly, put down the glass bottle in his hand, turned and walked to a corner of the alchemy studio.

There was a huge workbench, piled with all kinds of strange instruments and books.

He began to explain: "Black alchemists are those who have mastered the highest level of alchemy. They not only understand the nature of matter, but also master the laws of its transformation, and can even create completely new substances."

"They are able to harness the power of alchemy to bring well-being and prosperity to people."

Feng Feng listened and learned, his eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity. He followed Hikigaya Hachiman's steps, walked to the workbench, and watched him skillfully operate various instruments.

Hikigaya Hachiman lightly touched the instrument with his fingers, and the instrument began to emit a soft light, like a lively elf.

Feng Feng watched Hikigaya Hachiman skillfully operating the instrument, his heart filled with longing.

He imagined that in the future he would become an excellent alchemist like Hikigaya Hachiman, bringing welfare and prosperity to people.

However, reality poured cold water on him. Although Hikigaya Hachiman taught very seriously, Feng Feng found that he had no talent.

He tried many times but always failed. He felt very frustrated and lost, and even began to doubt whether he was suitable to be an alchemist.

Hikigaya Hachiman encouraged him, "You used to be the supreme black alchemist."

Chapter 523 Alchemy

Thursday, December 14

Feng Feng encountered difficulties in alchemy, but he did not give up.

He knew he had a lot to learn to become a true Black Alchemist, so he decided to study harder.

He followed Hikigaya Hachiman all day, carefully observing his operations and listening attentively to his explanations.

He began to gain a deeper understanding of the basic principles and techniques of alchemy, and gradually learned how to operate instruments and conduct experiments.

In the process of learning, Feng Feng encountered many difficulties and challenges, but he never gave up. He always tried unremittingly, failed again and again, and then tried again and again.

After countless failures and setbacks, Feng Feng finally succeeded in refining a primary item.

He felt very excited and proud because he knew he had taken the first step towards becoming an alchemist.

He stood in front of the workbench, looking at the item he had refined, feeling full of satisfaction. Although this item was simple, it embodied Feng Feng's countless attempts and efforts.

However, just as he was about to celebrate his first achievement, something terrible happened. There was a loud bang, and his item exploded.

Feng Feng was stunned with fear. He watched the item he had worked so hard to refine turn into a pile of ruins in an instant.

He felt very frustrated and disappointed, but he also understood one thing: alchemy is not an easy thing and requires great effort and patience.

Hikigaya Hachiman checked it and said, "Your alchemy is perfect. It's the materials that can't bear it. You are worthy of it."

When Feng Feng heard what Hikigaya Hachiman said, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He looked at the ruins in front of him, but his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Although his items exploded, he knew it was because he had mastered the key skills of alchemy.

He thought of his failures and setbacks again and again, but in the end he succeeded. Although his item exploded, it did not mean that his efforts were in vain.

He felt a surge of strength and confidence in his heart, and he knew he could keep moving forward, continuing to learn and grow.

He looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and said gratefully: "Thank you, I will continue to work hard."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded and smiled, saying, "Very good, you are an alchemist with great potential. I believe you will become a true black alchemist."

"But genius, please stop hitting me. See you tomorrow."

Feng Feng was kicked out of the alchemy workshop by Hikigaya. He stood at the door, feeling a little lost.

He knew that he had broken Hikigaya Hachiman's heart, but at the same time he also understood that he had learned a lot.

He looked at the alchemical instrument in his hand, his heart filled with gratitude. Although his items exploded, he mastered alchemy.

At this moment, Takanashi Rikka suddenly appeared in front of him. She was wearing a pink dress and holding a thick book in her hand, looking very cute.

"Ah, Fengfeng!" Liuhua shouted happily, "What a coincidence!"

Feng Feng looked at her with some surprise. He didn't expect to meet her here.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"I'm here to look for some information," Rikka replied, "and you?"

"I'm learning alchemy." Feng Feng said.

"Really?" Liuhua's eyes lit up, "That's great! I also want to learn alchemy, can you teach me?"

Feng Feng looked at her hesitantly, "But... this is difficult."
