Garona pushed open the door to the storeroom. The variety and quantity of herbs inside made Lu Li's eyes pop out.
Lu Li felt like he had been tricked, but he had to swallow his anger.
Besides, Garona wasn't tricking him. At least Lu Li had never heard of any teachers who would provide their disciples with a laboratory and a mountain of experimental materials for free. It could only be said that the NPCs didn't understand the importance of competition between players.
Garona left after settling Lu Li down. Before she left, she seemed to feel bad and left behind a Poison Book.
Poison Book (Special): Poison production success rate increased by 20%, certain probability of receiving additional skill experience, certain probability of making two poisons. Exclusive to Lu Li.
It was a good item that could take effect just by putting it in his backpack. Lu Li's remaining resentment disappeared.
Instead of blaming others, it was better to solve the problem quickly.
He rushed to the storeroom and picked a few low-level herbs. After filling his backpack, he came to the test bench.
Although Garona's poison system didn't require a recipe and didn't require him to start with the lowest level herbs, according to Lu Li's understanding, since it was something in the game, it had to follow the leveling rules of the game.
First was the process of familiarizing himself with the equipment. Although the tower was dilapidated, the experimental equipment here was very advanced.
This was without a doubt. Anyone who had a Great Tinkerer (the highest level of Gnome Engineering) as a friend would not have to worry about lacking experimental equipment. Moreover, it would definitely be the most efficient and labor-saving kind.
Lu Li took off his cloak and other obstructing things and washed his face with the hose. The cold water made him feel refreshed.
Too many things had happened today, and it was inevitable that his head would be swollen.
After the preparations were done, Lu Li took a deep breath and grabbed a handful of Dragon Claw Grass. He threw them into the grinder. This was his first attempt as a Poison Apothecary.
Alchemy was very complicated, but alchemy itself wasn't complicated. As long as one followed the blueprints and prepared the required materials, they would be able to use the skill. The reason why engineering was the most difficult to learn was because there were many manual operations in engineering.
Now, this poison technique was even more ridiculous.
It was completely done by hand, and Lu Li didn't even know the formula yet. While waiting for the grinding to be completed, he seized every second to open a thick book on Herbology and study it.
There was no recipe, but there was some explanation about the herbs.
Most importantly, the content of the explanation emphasized the problem of medicinal properties. For example, the Dragon Claw Grass could not be mixed with the Nine Knot Lotus. Although both of them were poisonous plants, they were antidotes to each other. Therefore, if they were used together, the results would be obvious.
"Just the Dragon Claw Grass alone won't be enough. What should I put in?"
"Gorilla wood? It's a very poisonous flower. Its whole body is poisonous, and accidentally eating its stems and leaves can lead to death. The white juice in the stems and leaves is especially poisonous … "
"Let's give it a try. Anyway, we have plenty of materials."
Lu Li muttered. He couldn't go against his conscience and steal Garona's Herbs to sell or store them in his guild's warehouse. However, he didn't feel bad about wasting some Herbs in the process of experimenting. After all, there were plenty of Herbs here.
However, Lu Li soon realized that he had taken it for granted.
After grinding the Dragon Claw Grass, there was almost only juice left. Gorilla wood, on the other hand, was wood. In fact, it was a succulent plant that would turn into a ball of water with a pinch. After these two things were mixed together, some unknown chemical reaction occurred and it directly turned into water.
Lu Li took a dagger and smeared some of the liquid on it, then cut himself a few times.
There was a special mode in the game that allowed him to test the damage on himself. When Alchemists tested the effects of healing or healing, they would often first hurt themselves or their friends before applying the medicine on themselves to see the effect. The first cut dealt some damage — this kind of low-level Herb shouldn't be expected to deal much damage. After that, the damage became lower and lower, and the effect soon disappeared. This should be what the book meant when it said that the viscosity wasn't high enough.
Since there was damage, it meant that the direction was correct. As long as he solved the problem of the viscosity, he would be able to gain skill experience.
Lu Li rummaged through some information. Although Garona didn't personally teach Lu Li, she sent a lot of relevant information through the mechanical dog. Lu Li could always find what he needed through this information. Obviously, his mentor didn't really let him go.
He searched through the pile of papers for a while and finally found something that was more reliable.
The Snake Orchid was a plant that grew in the Snake Valley. It didn't have any medicinal properties, nor was it poisonous. However, it could always be seen in some alchemy recipes. Lu Li might have been confused before, but he never thought about the reason — this was just a game. Almost no Alchemists would think about why the herbs in the recipe were matched that way.
Now, Lu Li found a reasonable explanation in this Herb Orchid book.
It was a peaceful neutralizer. Its function was to calm the chemical reaction between the herbs without damaging the medicinal properties. In addition, it belonged to a plant that didn't absorb much water. After grinding, it didn't have much water, so it could absorb the excess water from Dragon Claw Grass and Gorilla Wood.
Lu Li's luck was really good. When the system prompted him to make a new poison and asked him to name it, he realized that he had succeeded.
Unknown Poison: Causes an additional 5 points of damage to the target. Lasts for 2 minutes.
He had to admit that this was an extremely inferior thing, but Lu Li wasn't disappointed. After all, this was made from the two lowest level herbs. Moreover, it gave a lot of experience, as much as 12 points.
This was absolutely impossible in the field of ordinary Alchemy. Lu Li remembered that when he learned the first recipe, it took about two or three bottles of healing potion to give him 1 point of experience.
Exploring the combination by himself and participating in the whole process, these factors constituted the reason for the huge amount of experience.
"Let's call it Damage One …"
Someone irresponsibly came up with a random name. He decided that from now on, the main damage would be ranked according to the number, and the others with special effects would be named according to their special effects.
Garona named the poison used to deal with Bygraves the Vengeance Poison. In fact, it was just as perfunctory as Lu Li.
Lu Li tried to use these three herbs to make a new poison according to the ratio he had studied. The result was very disappointing. It didn't even give him a single skill point. In Alchemy, as long as the item wasn't too far below the current level, there would always be some amount of experience.
