Chapter 399 - 174 Bloodline Modulation
Enough Alchemy knowledge?
Upon hearing Anvis's words, several players glanced at each other and realized that the situation was not simple.
"Could you tell me what problem you have encountered? Maybe I can help you."
The player hurriedly asked, seeming very eager to assist.
Hearing this, Anvis lifted the corners of his eyes and glanced at them with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
"Very well, then I have a question. What reaction would occur if you dry and grind Mandela Grass, mix it with Ancient Fossil Powder, and blend it into the blood of a cockatrice?"
"Uh, this..."
The player was taken aback, suddenly somewhat at a loss.
No way around it, he was responsible for combat, and he had little understanding of these life professions, not to mention in the life professions, the extremely difficult to enhance Alchemy.
"Hmph, if you don't even understand this, then don't waste my time!"
Not surprised that they could not answer, Anvis snorted coldly, turned his head away with disdain, and no longer paid any attention to them.
However, far from being startled, the players were delighted with Anvis's seemingly bad attitude.
As combat members of Starlight, the players present were all veterans.
Having obtained this result, they instantly understood that their Alchemy Level was not high enough.
Although their Alchemy Level was insufficient, there were people in the guild who were qualified—
And a task that required a sufficiently high Alchemy Level would inevitably be a rewarding hidden task. For them, who had discovered this task, there would surely be corresponding Contribution rewards.
"I'm very sorry, sir. Although I'm not proficient in Alchemy, I have a friend who is very skilled in it, and he should be able to solve your problem.
If you don't mind, sir, I can take you to him right now."
Having recovered from their initial surprise, the players promptly extended their invitation to Anvis.
They also had their own selfish motives; if they let Anvis continue to stand there, with the passage of time, there might be more complications.
To avoid any prolonged troubles, they planned to invite Anvis to their guild so as not to let the hidden task they had found slip through their fingers.
And this was exactly what Anvis wanted.
After a brief discussion, the players wrote an email to notify the chief Alchemist of the guild in advance, and then quickly led Anvis towards their Guild's quarters.
The Starlight Guild's quarters were located in the residential area on the side of King's Street, the busiest in Maramos City.
It was a three-story, gray-white ancient rock building with carved Roman columns and a majestic pale aqua dome. Silver Blue Starlight flags hung on all four walls, presenting an imposing sight.
In the splendid reception hall, a Dark Elf player had already received the news and was waiting there purposely.
That was the chief Alchemist of the Starlight Guild, "Knife Only on Rainy Nights".
"Hello, sir, may I ask if you are looking for a helper with sufficient Alchemy abilities?"
Upon Anvis's arrival, a smile appeared on the face of Knife Only on Rainy Nights.
"The question you brought up earlier, I have also heard them mention it.
The answer is that the blood of the cockatrice will petrify, turning into a gray-white rock with special properties, which can be used as a stabilizer in various experiments involving medium and high-rank bloodlines."
Listening to his answer, Anvis's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he saw hope.
"Very well! Perhaps you can be of some real help to me.
Recently, during an experiment, I encountered a vexing problem that requires someone with sufficient alchemy knowledge to assist me in solving it.
I obtained a special encrypted alchemy recipe, but it was only when I reached the final step, following the cracked content, that I realized the last page of the recipe contained no content, just a string of strange numbers, which I cannot decipher.
However, according to the explanation at the bottom of the page, it seems that alchemists from foreign lands can interpret its meaning.
If you can help me complete the final step of the bloodline modulation, I can reward you with three thousand Gold Coins, or equivalent resources as remuneration. Would you be willing to accept?"
"I would be honored to assist you, Your Excellency—"
Upon hearing this offer, Yuyue Yidai Dao's eyes immediately shone.
Although he currently doesn't lack Gold Coins with the support of Guild resources, three thousand gold coins are still a considerable sum for a professional below the Fourth Rank.
And upon hearing the numbers mentioned by Anvis, he already had a guess in his mind.
After all, 'Mysterious Era' is a game; the game won't let its players go through the alchemy process as hardcore as the natives would.
During the alchemy process, players need to input certain specific numbers into the alchemy box to determine the timing, intensity, and other details of each step in the process, which the player's character will automatically complete.
For players, after obtaining a new alchemy recipe, if the player character's Alchemy Level is sufficient, the system will automatically convert the recipe into the corresponding sequence of numbers.
As Yuyue Yidai Dao finished speaking, a new task suddenly refreshed on his task panel in front of him.
[System Prompt: You have triggered a B-level task 'Assist in Alchemy']
[Task Introduction: A mysterious native alchemist has found you and hopes you can help him complete a special bloodline potion.]
[Task Goal: Work with the alchemist to finish crafting the bloodline potion.]
[Task Prerequisite: The player's Alchemist Profession Level must be at least 35.]
[Task Reward: 57,000 Experience Value, 3,000 Gold Coins/Materials]
"Excellent!"
Anvis nodded in satisfaction, and upon receiving Yuyue Yidai Dao's response, he immediately took out four bottles of purplish-red liquid and a folded parchment, handing them over to the latter.
"Now, follow the steps on the recipe I've given you and try to blend this bloodline potion. As long as one bottle is successfully completed, then your task is considered finished."
Glancing at the string of numbers on the parchment, and although the panel gave no hint, Yuyue Yidai Dao already had a sense of it in his heart.
Twenty-six digits, exactly matching the length of the input box.
"Please wait, I will prepare it for you right away."
Taking several vials of the half-finished bloodline potion, Yuyue Yidai Dao immediately returned to his own exclusive Alchemy Laboratory to begin the intense preparation process.
.........
Several Magic Time later, Anvis, having achieved his goal, returned to his dwelling.
A bottle of rich purple finished bloodline potion lay in his ring, emitting a strange aura.
Currently, the players' Levels are still too low; Yuyue Yidai Dao wasted three bottles before finally succeeding with one.
At this time, Landon had returned and was helping to entertain guests in the shop.
However, because his Disguise Potion lasted fourteen hours, Leia almost didn't recognize him when he just got back. She is now circling her sister, looking at her from left to right.
With a sweep of his spiritual power, Anvis noticed the black accessory that had been on her neck before had now disappeared.
