Ark Journey

After everything has been explained, the practical operation begins.

A group of pharmacists first followed Professor Xue Zhi's instructions and brought a large pile of debris and threw it into the alchemy furnace to obtain the necessary source materials, and then prepared various materials for infusion.

Watching a group of people placing materials on the altar next to them, Xue Zhi suddenly reminded:

"You may use this thing for more than just making potions in the future. I don't care about that, but remember to place the offerings as symmetrically as possible to reduce accidents. I've written a lot of things in the book, so be sure to read it carefully, otherwise you might get into some trouble when I'm not here."

The man holding the book and giving instructions nodded solemnly.

"We understand."

Xue Zhi's worries were not unnecessary. This was almost another technical route. He believed that any scientific researcher with some ideas would not give up exploring it.

However, the harm of this thing is not small. If they mess around and create some curse waves or something, it would be fine. Xue Zhi is most afraid that they will create distortion and pollution, and then further cause those cult members to appear in this world.

The offerings were placed and the source material was ready. Xue Zhi personally checked and signaled them to start.

Then one of them took the iron staff given by Xue Zhi and pointed it at the huge stone that was floating in the air and slowly rotating.

The boulder trembled slightly, and the mysterious runes on it lit up one by one. The source jars placed around the altar leaked a lot of source under the inexplicable suction force.

Lines of source essence of different colors formed a dazzling bridge between the jar and the behemoth.

After the source material was absorbed, the offerings were shattered by an invisible force and fell into the huge water tank placed in the middle of the four altars.

The originally clear water quickly changed color.

After the last offering disappeared, the originally colorless water turned into a clear and transparent pink color.

After waiting for a while, when all the runes on the boulder were extinguished, Xue Zhi took a bottle and filled it with some pink potion.

After checking with the system, he determined that this was a level I healing potion.

"The experiment was a success. Everyone, you have successfully produced four cubic meters of Level I healing potion. Keep up the good work."

Hearing Xue Zhi's words, everyone cheered. They had found another good thing that could reduce casualties among the frontline soldiers.

Chapter 9: Reward

Tonight, Xue Zhi, who was tired all day, finally had some time to rest.

He was sitting in the restaurant of the First Trap Camp, opposite Jie Feng again.

The dinner was still sumptuous, with fried chicken with peppers and steamed lamb chops, which were paired with wide noodles and some dipping sauce and were still very satisfying.

"So you have already taught others how to make those potions?"

"Well, I have taught you everything I can. You are the first group of the enemy, the vanguard of the vanguard. You should be able to use more varieties of potions soon."

Some materials are difficult to find substitutes here for the time being, but others are easy to find.

The representatives of the two are blaze powder and sugar.

Xue Zhi is generally a very gentle person, so Jie Feng can say a few more words while respecting him.

"Sir, can you please tell me what those potions are for?"

Putting the chopsticks on the edge of the plate, Xue Zhi said while counting on her fingers.

"There are a lot of things that increase strength, increase acceleration, and improve physical strength and recovery. If you're in a hurry, I have some that you can try first."

After saying a few, he felt it was a bit too troublesome, so he simply replaced them with some low-level potions and placed them on the table.

Don't underestimate these low-level potions. Even level I strength and speed potions have 130% and 70% bonuses, but the duration is shorter, only two minutes.

After seeing these bottles and jars, Xie Feng's eyes lit up. He felt that with these supports, the battle would be easier.

"Your Excellency, are you interested in watching our warriors' sparring?"

"Spar? Sure, there's nothing else to do anyway."

After the meal, Jie Feng made this suggestion, and Xue Zhi agreed as she didn't have anything else to do.

So under Jie Feng's call, soldiers who were willing to stretch their muscles were quickly selected.

Just as Xue Zhi expected, the reason he convened this competition was to see the effects of those potions.

Then one of the soldiers who drank the potion gave his comrade a big eye.

He drank a strength potion. Normally, just a slight advantage in strength was enough to make a big difference in combat. This time, the full 130% bonus allowed him to hit his opponent with just one punch, and he even had to hold back to avoid hurting his teammates.

Unfortunately, the first unlucky guy didn't get this treatment. Fortunately, Xue Zhi was watching the fight and could treat his internal injuries.

Looking at his men who had already defeated several opponents, Xie Feng was somewhat incredulous.

"Sir, this effect is too scary, isn't it?"

Xue Zhi was not surprised by the strangeness and was defeated by herself.

"Not bad. Remember, this is only the effect of a Level I potion, and it only lasts for two minutes."

"Two minutes is enough. These potions have no side effects, right?"

"At the moment, there may be some slight weakness, but that is only caused by high-level potions. Low-level potions have not had any side effects so far."

Jie Feng took a breath of cold air.

In the subsequent competition, the warriors rushed to try out the effects of those potions.

After tasting the sweetness, a famous warrior even let his companions who were good at fire-related Originium skills attack him after drinking the fire resistance potion to verify the effect.

Seeing this scene, Jie Feng suddenly turned around and asked:

"By the way, do you have any potions that can improve Originium skills?"

"No, Originium skills are quite special, and there is no potion that can enhance them. However, there is a potion that can restore physical strength. When physical strength is restored, more Originium skills can be used. You can use it as a potion to enhance Originium skills, and it has a wider range of uses."

"I see."

The next day, Xue Zhi had nothing to do and went to the house again. He wanted to see how the pharmacists were doing.

When I entered, I saw a fairy-like scene. Many pharmacists had big dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they had been making medicine all night.

"Everyone, don't make medicine if you are not in good condition. If you are not careful, there will be problems."

The pharmacist's voice was filled with excitement, but they dared not disobey Xue Zhi's words. Although Xue Zhi was not their immediate superior, it would be bad if he was unhappy and took these things back.

"Well, alright sir, let's pack up now and take a rest."

After a group of people changed, Xue Zhi started chatting with someone who looked like a leader.

“Are there any signs of alternatives to those materials?”

"Not yet. Yumen's products are not very abundant, but we have already mobilized supplies from other cities."

"That's good."

Xue Zhi didn't need to remind them of some things, as these people were not fools.

There are many varieties of medicines. Just one kind of medicine can produce 16 products with different specifications. Level is one item, time is another, and they each have four categories.

As for what the troops need and what is the best value for money, they definitely have their own considerations.

Just as Xue Zhi was watching these new pharmacists producing medicines, the general walked in from outside.

"I heard that you solved the issue we discussed yesterday in just one day, so I came here to see you. You are really efficient."

“Everyone was very cooperative, and it wasn’t too difficult.”

"We have prepared the things we promised to prepare for you. Do you want to see them now or later?"

Xue Zhi glanced at the busy but orderly room. He was not really needed here at the moment.

"Go and see now, there's nothing to worry about."

"it is good."

On the way, Xue Zhi suddenly thought of something and said to the general:

"You can use these drugs, but you cannot sell them to others."

Xue Zhi's consideration is that he will build his own power in the future, and this kind of medicine may be one of the main commodities.

The general nodded after thinking about the reports that the production of medicines might not be very high in the short term or even for a long time.

"no problem."

How can I possibly sell it when I don’t have enough for my own use?

When he returned to Xue Zhi's temporary residence, he found a lot of boxes placed at the door and some people nearby.

"That's it."

"Move inside."

As instructed, several people moved the boxes into the house.

As they were moving the boxes, Xue Zhi noticed that they seemed very heavy.

"Captain, there's no red gold in here, is there?"

After the general took away the top small box, the big boxes were all filled with golden gold.

The Yan State has a great cause and a long history, and it has never been stingy in rewarding those who have made contributions.

"Yes, your contribution is great and definitely worth the red gold."

"...Thank you, Commander."

Xue Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded to indicate that she accepted the offer. What else could she do but appreciate the other person's kindness?

"And this, the Yan country coin you wanted."

The small box in the commander's hand was more to Xue Zhi's liking, because gold meant little to him.

After putting all the things away, Xue Zhi bowed to the commander.

"Thank you, Commander."

Chapter 10: Serious Identity Information

After handing the box of coins of various types to Xue Zhi, the general took out a hard card the size of an ID card from his pocket.

"Your new identity document has been prepared for you. Since you didn't provide an address or anything like that, we picked a place for you to live in Jiangqi City. It's a free gift from Dayan."

After Xue Zhi took it, she looked through the card carefully. It was made of some kind of plastic and felt quite heavy.

On the front is the Yan Country logo, while on the back is a photo of him and various information.

"In addition, this ID can also be used as a bank card. It can be used in any bank in Da Yan. Some money has been deposited into it. The initial password is 123456."

Xue Zhi really likes highly integrated small devices, especially those that can even be connected to identity verification, which will be very convenient for future use.

However, the commander had not yet finished speaking.

"In addition, we marked your identity on this card as a soldier who has served in Yumen for a period of time, which will bring you many benefits in your life."

Xue Zhi nodded. To him, the most valuable thing among all the things brought by the general was probably this card.

As for the gold and the house in Jiangqi City, he didn't care much about them.

Or he might go to Jiangqi City later, but the city was probably located in the heart of Yan State, which might not be helpful to what he would do in the future, so he would not settle there, but just take a tour at most.

After putting away her identity certificate and another one obtained in Ursus, Xue Zhi originally wanted to invite the general to sit down and have a cup of tea.

But the Taiwei was a senior official in Yumen after all, and he declined the proposal as he was busy with work.

In the next few days, Xue Zhi stayed in Yumen City and quietly waited for the next attack from the evil demon.

During these few days, he visited the main urban area of Yumen City and tasted many delicacies with Western characteristics.

The other task is to help the pharmacists deal with various problems found in the process of refining medicine and to observe the cultivation of hell warts on the side of the agricultural master.

There was not much to do, so he spent most of his time in the camp of the First Trap Camp watching Jie Feng train his soldiers.

His identity is very special, so he is allowed to watch these people train, which is definitely not possible under normal circumstances.

From Xue Zhi's observation, compared with mercenaries, the regular army's requirements for individual combat effectiveness were not high, even if every one of this group of people could beat Hedley.

The elite of the elite are no joke.

In daily training, the thing these people practice the most is formation.

There are various formations, including attack, defense and advancement.
