Chapter 29 029. First lottery!

Laboratory on the second floor.

Kuleha created a warm and humid environment in the corner, and the captured salamanders were released here.

Slices are taken for research from time to time.

It could be a limb or an organ, but the main part is the brain area.

As the salamander regenerates, useful regenerative cell material is extracted from the regenerated area, cultured in a culture medium, injected with drugs, and the growth cycle is observed.

Drug research on brain development is conducted by using drugs to influence the growth and changes of the salamander's brain.

Time passes day by day.

The gold was shaped into gold bars by Xiong Bao.

During this period, Cap came once, but Messier did not go to the East China Sea with him.

Instead, focus on your own work.

Half of the gold was taken away by Cap on this trip, and together with the gold obtained from the previous slave ship, was used to purchase some drugs and equipment for experiments.

Kuleha asked Karp to do these "miscellaneous" tasks.

Of course, hard work pay is indispensable.

It's also a kind of social interaction.

A month later, Cap delivered the purchased supplies here.

As a result, Kuleha's daily life became even busier, and sometimes she was nowhere to be seen all day long.

Xiong Bao brought all three meals a day. As for Messer, he was still immersed in forging more "famous swords".

Xiong Bao runs back and forth every day, going to the cave to refine metal ore, delivering goods to Messi, and then going home to cook after delivering the goods.

At mealtime, Moses would return with the game he had occasionally caught.

After dinner, I will go to the forging cave in the east of Drum Peak to continue forging.

The creation of a famous sword is not always successful.

But even if it fails, the weapons created can still be considered refined weapons outside.

Due to time and efficiency issues, Messier only made some small weapons, such as daggers, short knives, short swords, and arm shields, to reduce the time cost to a minimum.

Every day after dinner, Messier would bring Xiong Bao one or two refined weapons or scraps as rations.

These excellent weapons and equipment, which are sought after by people outside, are used as rations by a bear in an unknown corner.

If swordsmen and other weapon enthusiasts knew about this, they would be so angry that their chests would heave and their bodies would tremble.

time flies.

As more and more things were forged, Messer's skills became more and more sophisticated, and the chances of delivering "quick knives" became more and more frequent.

The integration of metal veins and the understanding of the spirituality of forging and gathering materials have become increasingly profound.

Both Meser's equipment and Kuleha's equipment have been updated.

All scalpels are replaced with sharp knife quality.

Even the kitchen knives at home are of the quality of sharp knives, but the edges are not sharpened to be as sharp as weapons.

Just enough to cut vegetables, cut meat and break bones.

……

Haiyuan calendar, May 1505.

Time flies, and another year has passed.

Moses was five years old.

“The raw iron ore is gone.”

Except for the vein in the king's hands, the rest of the iron ore that can be found on the island has almost been mined out by Xiong Bao.

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Moses was sweating as he sharpened a silver-white dagger, as long as his forearm, on a whetstone.

Polishing completed.

Fix the hilt of the sword.

The scabbard is made to fit perfectly.

"Identification"

[C-Rank Dagger (Excellent Blade): A high-quality dagger crafted from a special cold alloy. The blade has the ability to condense moisture from the air into dewdrops.]

"Murasame?"

Messer blinked his eyes. This sword, the first good and sharp sword in his life, which took him a whole week to make, was indeed a surprise.

"Two months ago, Xiong Bao accidentally found a piece of cold meteorite iron in the karst cave iron mine. He then used his fruit power to refine and fuse it into the only C-grade alloy. It can be said that it was not wasted."

At the same time, Messer opened the light curtain panel and looked at the gift ability column.

As expected, the D-level "Forging" naturally grew to D+ level within this year as the shipment rate of "Quick Sword" continued to increase. With the birth of this good quick sword, the quality was officially improved.

[C-Rank Gift: Forging]

Moses played with the dagger and thought to himself, "Forging a good weapon is time-consuming and laborious.

Melting and forging metal is a difficult problem in itself, and this step alone takes too much time.

But with Xiong Bao's Swallow Swallow Fruit ability, this prerequisite was directly skipped. It saved me a lot of time."

"All I need to do is spend my energy forging the refined alloy.

When forging a sharp knife, the veins of ordinary alloys are easy to handle, but the gathering of the material's spirituality is a problem. However, as long as the gathering is successful and there are no mistakes in the subsequent steps, it can be forged.

But the fine blade is different. The rare alloy veins are more difficult to integrate, and the gathering of the material's spiritual essence is even more laborious. Every step of the forging process cannot go wrong. Fortunately, I was able to enter a state of unity between man and nature, entering into absolute tranquility and concentration, otherwise this fine blade would not have been born."

Meser summarized his forging career of the past year in his mind, from forging a sharp knife to successfully forging a good sharp knife today.

The understanding of forging has made tremendous progress.

For me now, forging a "sharp sword"-level weapon is no longer challenging at all.

The only thing that can limit you is the quality of the materials.

This year's harvest was also quite rich.

The Blade is a weapon with legendary properties.

For a normal sharp blade weapon, under the concept characteristic of [Weapon], Messer discovered that when the weapon becomes smaller than a dagger, the merit points earned will decrease in a landslide manner.

A standard style sharp dagger can be refined by yourself to obtain the standard 1000 merit points.

But when it comes to a scalpel of sharp knife quality, the merit points extracted are only 100 points.

As for the silver needle of sharp knife quality, it only has 1 merit point.

and.

"The forging quality of the silver needle and scalpel's sharp blade is simply terrible, and the gathering of the material's spirituality is simply a ghost."

After forging the first silver needle and refining the merit points, Messi secretly decided in his heart that unless something unexpected happened, he would never forge another one in his lifetime.

Time-consuming.

The price/performance ratio is very low.

This year, Messier took the time to make a suitable set of close-fitting armor and weapons for Xiong Bao, which was also a reward for the hard-working miner Xiong.

Or wages.

In addition to real estate, that is, the "sharp swords" for his own use, over the course of a year, Moser collected a total of 60 sharp sword weapons, excluding those that failed.

After all the extraction.

Messer received 60101 merit points.

It can be said that an A-grade devil fruit has been refined.

After summarizing the year, Messer's mouth curled up, and it was also the harvest season for fruit farmers.

Looking at the several gifts on the gift ability column that have not yet been truly manifested.

Merit point consumption.

Invest 50000 Merits.

The gift you've been longing for is now truly manifested.

A wonderful feeling was brewing in Moses' body, like a breeze blowing through him inside and out.

It feels comfortable first.

But then a pain came from inside and outside.

Unparalleled pain.

Messer gritted his teeth.

Try to get into the breathing state.

Empty your mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Moses suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, an instinctive feeling emerged. Messer looked at the dagger in his hand and stared at a white spot on the rock wall ten meters away. An instinctive feeling surged in his heart.

He threw it casually using a throwing technique, but at the moment of throwing it, according to the idea of hitting it in his mind, at the moment the dagger left his hand, Messer's fingers instinctively made a slight adjustment.

As if that's the way it should be done.

The next moment, the dagger that was thrown casually seemed to be a stroke of genius, accurately hitting the sesame-sized white dot.

And inserted into the rock wall.

Moses was lost in thought.

"Instinct?"

"The Gift of Precision actually gave me a talent, an instinct. It's not a conceptual ability to interfere with probability, but rather an ability to use my own abilities to modify outcomes through observation and prediction."

Moses looked at the gift abilities in the ability column.

[A-level Gift: Precision] (Can grow freely)
[Blessing Effect: Through self-correction, gain interference with vision, skills, physique, thinking and other aspects related to the hit rate.]

[Enci's evaluation: Precision is the difference between surgery and slaughter.]

With a smile on his face, Moses was very satisfied with the effect of the gift.

“Rather than relying on random chance, I prefer to use my own hands to create the results I want.

I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect "precision" to be such a gift that could allow me to grow naturally. I guess I was wrong about it before."

Merit Points: 11078
Including the daily "check-ins" over the years and the remaining merit points from previous refining, there are currently only this many merit points left.

"Merit points are very useful, but also very difficult to obtain."

"Of course, this was me before I forged the 'Famous Sword'."

Looking at the remaining merit points, Messi couldn't help but feel a desire to spend them.

As for the way of consumption.

【lottery】

This is also a function that Messier has never used since he obtained merit points. Now that he has earned "money", he wants to spend it.

[Lottery]: Use Merit Points to draw treasures from the dimensional universe, including but not limited to gifted abilities, items, characters, etc. (The lottery quality range for each lottery fluctuates depending on the number of Merit Points consumed.)
"I can forge a sharp sword, so I'll spend 1000 points on it first to try it out and make a good sword."

He did it as soon as he thought of it, following the instinct of "lottery", and "paid" 1000 points of merit. Messi blinked his eyes, wanting to see what kind of lottery method it was.

The next moment, Mercer's consciousness was drawn into the sea of consciousness and appeared in front of the indescribable "ball of light".

A "vortex" appeared on the surface of the light ball, and the rotation of the vortex became faster and faster.

a moment.

An indescribable "spot of light" suddenly appeared.

Shoot out from the vortex.

Then Moses opened his eyes.

At the same time, an object wrapped in a palm-sized "light ball" appeared in front of him.

Moses reached out and touched it, the ball of light dissipated, and a booklet appeared in Moses's hand, and a "message" was understood by Moses.

After a quick look, Moses found that he could understand that the characters recorded in it were in the font of this world.

Is it some type of rule adjustment?
The answer is: Yes.

Messer looked at the item description.

[D-level item: Crow Breeding Manual]

[Item Content: Through selection, breeding, and medical adjustments, high-quality birds are cultivated that can either understand human speech, speak human language, or both.]

[Item review: Crows are friends of humans, please treat them with kindness.]

Moses blinked. "Does this mean I should choose 'Taming' as my next Gift?"

It can't be said to be very useful, nor can it be said to be useless.

It's just a little surprise.

The Nine Snakes have their own "snakes".

Alabasta has its own "Running Duck"

Morgause has its own "News Bird"

How about I also organize an army of talking crows?
By the way, can pandas talk?
Aren’t their vocal systems quite developed?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's do it again while the feeling is good."

This time, Messier made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and took out 10000 merit points to consume.

After a few seconds, a "spot of light" appeared from the vortex of the "light ball" in my mind.

A "ball of light" appeared in front of Moses again.

"touch"

A bottle of standard red and white capsules without any labels appeared in his hand.

Messer blinked, and the information about the item was naturally understood.

B-level item: APTX 4869

[Item Effect: APOPTOXIN-4869 is a highly potent chemical toxin that can cause death without a definitive cause. With an extremely small chance, its side effects can restore a person's physiological functions to their puberty stage.]

[Item review: "A fantastical, mysterious drug that can resurrect the dead." However, its actual effect is death. Even funnier, if it doesn't kill you, the residual side effects do allow you to regain a certain kind of "youth."]

Messer was speechless. He read the item information for APTX 4869 three times in a row. "How can such a thing be considered B-grade? So its high quality comes entirely from its side effects?"

See you soon.

Mercer opened the medicine bottle, poured the capsules into his hand, counted them carefully, and smiled wryly:
"There are actually a hundred pills. I guess they still sell in bulk."

Messer rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes, recalling the side effects of APTX 4869. "In a sense, this thing really is a miracle drug that can rejuvenate people."

"If we combine this with adjustments to the 'bloodline factor' and further development, can we refine this 'side effect' into a true pharmaceutical effect?"

"It has to be said, judging by the actions rather than the intentions, this is a successful and groundbreaking drug that interferes with human genetics to reverse growth.

Although its main function is to induce programmed cell death, it also has the function of enhancing the activity of human telomerase, thereby increasing the proliferation ability of cells.

Due to accidental yet inevitable side effects, the human body regresses to the level of infant development without affecting the mind."

"Why don't we take it back to Dr. Dolly to see if she can develop it a second time?"

"Well, it's hard to explain where I came from." Mercer was a little distressed and scratched his head.
"If I lie, I'll have to use more lies to fill the gaps later. Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back."

"It's time to stop forging this weapon. Why is there so little iron ore?"

Mercer put the manual for breeding the jay crow and a bottle of APTX 4869 into his trouser pocket, tidied up the forge, turned off the fire, and took the dagger down from the rock wall.

After taking off his work shirt, changing into his own clothes and sealing the cave entrance, Messer happily went down the mountain.

Walking in the snowy forest.

Mercer read the contents of the manual on breeding crows, which was about perfecting the knowledge of training highly intelligent crows, which was refreshing for Mercer.

"Especially the drug development involved here, which actually involves drugs that affect the brain. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, maybe this will be the biggest gain today."

"I remember there were crows on the island, the kind with white necks. Let's go get a nest of eggs tomorrow and try."

　　PS: Let me tell you an interesting story about Kozuki Oden.

　　At 0, he violently threw his wet nurse. At 2, he could catch two rabbits simultaneously, demonstrating incredible leg strength. At 4, he killed a giant bear by throwing a boulder. At 6, he began frequenting red-light districts. At 8, he got into a brawl with gamblers while drinking. At 9, he was blacklisted by the yakuza, and in a rage, he burned down the gang's casino and was arrested for assault. At 10, he was confined to a stonecutting operation as a prisoner, and thanks to his talent as a member of the Kozuki family, he rose to become a master stonemason. At 14, he was wanted again for altering the river course due to drought, causing a flood. At 15, he threatened the temple abbot and secluded himself there, abducting women every night to build a harem. These women were usually free, but were captivated by Oden's charm. This angered the public and led to their attack, which Oden gladly accepted, leading to the "Harem Rebellion" in Wano Country.
