How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

System: Do you accept the mission [Find Loblanche's Notes]?

Yes.

Seeing that I accepted the task, Darrens' eyes suddenly became more friendly. He told me some relevant information about the location of the Loblanche Mage Tower and how to enter. These were exactly the original words posted in the post that recorded this task in my previous life.

I waited quietly for the other party to finish his story before taking out the item called "LoBlanche's Cartography Notes" from my backpack.

After accepting the task, it changes from simply having a name to having an additional line of description of the task item underneath.

If it were other players, they might still follow the steps of accepting the task, finding items, and submitting the task to progress step by step, but I have already started halfway, saving the step of making an extra trip.

"This is probably what Mr. Darrens is looking for, right?"

When Darren saw the mapping notes of Loblanche that I handed over, he immediately changed his previous lazy look. The sleepiness in his eyes disappeared, and he was replaced by an extremely cautious look. He picked up the notebook and gently stroked the rough outline of the cover.

"It is indeed Master Loblanche's cartography notes. I didn't expect you to actually bring them back."

After confirming several times that he was not wrong, Darrens accepted the note and raised his head. "Adventurer, I don't know how to thank you. You helped me a lot."

System: Complete the task [Find Loblanche's Notes]

System: Darrens's impression of you has increased from unfamiliar to indifferent.

Ignoring the experience points that flashed across the screen, as well as the news of improved favorability, I was just about to follow what was said in the guide, say a few polite words and get down to business.

But seeing Darrens so excited, and thinking of the origin that was not explained in the post, I suddenly had an idea and asked aloud.

"I don't know why Mr. Darens specifically sought out Master Loblanche's manuscripts. If I remember correctly, your skills in making drawings are equally outstanding."

Otherwise, the other party would not be particularly famous in the circle.

Darrens was silent for a moment, as if hesitating. After a while, he told me a story that was not mentioned in the strategy post.

The reason why he faded out of the circle was that his fiancée, who had always served as his assistant, passed away due to illness. When sorting out her belongings, Darrens found that his fiancée had left him an alchemy drawing before she left.

In order to make his fiancée's posthumous work known to more people, Darrens copied the drawing, but unfortunately, he failed and destroyed the integrity of the drawing.

Grief and guilt made Darrens unsure of himself, so he chose to live in seclusion quietly, intending to atone for himself in this way.

Chapter 149 Generic Pharmaceutical Formula

"Until you found this note, you must have wondered why I wanted Master Loblanche's notes so badly."

Darrens returned to reality from his memories. "Master Loblanche has specialized in the craft of blueprint restoration. Whether for the sake of the piano or to regain confidence, I think I must give it a try anyway."

If I hadn't mentioned it by chance, this somewhat sad story would probably never be known. Just like many other stories and epics, it requires players to slowly dig it out from the era.

I smiled slightly, "Mr. Darrens's deep affection, I think even the Goddess of Light will be moved, I wish you success."

It wasn't a polite gesture, but I was simply touched by the sincerity in Darren's words.

Even though the various stories that happen in the game may be just a simple piece of data after all, what happens in reality is nothing more than the random collision of atoms. Sometimes it is stupid to dwell on the essence.

"Thank you for your blessing, adventurer."

Darrens also smiled and said seriously.

System: Darrens's impression of you has increased from neutral to friendly.

Looking at the information skipping on the screen, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that I would trigger a situation that increased my favorability.

The indigenous people in Anno also have real emotions and will have various reactions based on the content of the conversation. It is not impossible to increase your favorability because of a single sentence, but it is also very rare.

But I was just a little surprised. After all, I have a senior pharmacist in my family and I don't lack the benefits brought by this favorability. Besides, I didn't come here for this.

"Mr. Darrens, I would like to ask, can you also copy the formula of the medicine?"

"Yes." After the favorability level was raised to friendly, Darrens' tone softened a lot and nodded. "But I'm not very skilled in this area, so it might cost a lot."

After completing the hidden mission, Darrens' ability to copy blueprints was also known to the player, but the price and conditions were indeed a bit high as the other party said.

Not only does copying a medicine formula require three recipes, but the recipes must be similar in principle, and there is even a failure rate.

In most cases, potions can be replaced with each other, which makes Darren's ability to copy recipe blueprints almost an unnecessary function.

But even so, some people sighed under the guide post:

"It would be nice if I encountered this mission when the Barena Bunker was opened."

Yes, there is a special fire in the Barena Bunker that will weaken the player's defense and make the front row as fragile as a mage. It can only be removed by a specific fire magic potion.

However, the formula of the Fire Demon Potion was extremely rare, which led to the price of the Fire Demon Potion and its formula skyrocketing several times in the market after the Barena Bunker was opened.

The profit from this cannot be matched even by redstone potions, otherwise he would not have started planning from the step of Cuisi's task of teaching skills. Until now, he has acquired most of the potion formulas on the market that are similar to the Fire Demon Potion.

There is no way, the devil king of the poor family can only take charge early.

"I don't mind, Mr. Darrens. Please help me imitate the formula of the Fire Demon Potion. Here are the samples and the materials I prepared."

I took out the formula for the Fire Demon Potion from my backpack, as well as other potion formulas with similar principles that I had collected during this period, and handed them to Darrens.

"Okay, but I think it will take some time." Darrens looked at the numerous formula drawings in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There are still a few days before the opening of the Barena Bunker, and I can continue to purchase while Darrens is copying it. After handing all the drawings in my backpack to Darrens, I left the store.

After solving the key issues, I felt a lot more relaxed.

I originally planned to go back to the Demon King's Castle to check on the progress of Hill and Kasalia, but after thinking about it, I decided to go to Trace's alchemy workshop in Finns first.

After purchasing this alchemy workshop, it seemed to have become the base of the Demon King's City in Fanns. Of course, the person who stayed here the longest was this guy named Tracy.

Perhaps the current empty appearance of Helentis is not in line with what she had imagined, or perhaps owning his own alchemy workshop is an exciting thing for an alchemist.

But in short, it's not that Tris is without benefits here. Earning some pocket money is one of them, and helping to deal with matters related to Farnes is the key.

But looking at the shops on the ground floor of the workshop, there are more apprentices than before, and I can't help but sigh.

Trish, this spendthrift woman.

I went to the second floor to visit Sister Chang'an and handed over the formula and materials of the Fire Demon Potion to her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chang'an. If possible, please make a few more of these potions in the next few days. I will pay you overtime."

“I didn’t expect Xiaotong to be such a good, law-abiding kid.” Yue Changan chuckled. It seemed that as more and more potions were successfully refined, she was becoming more and more confident and she even began to respond to his jokes.

"Of course. They are the successors of socialism."

Looking at the radiant look on the other person's face, I became more and more certain that the pharmacist who was called a god would appear in the Orwyn Empire in the future.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look forward to what kind of expression the Blue Shadow Guild would have when they found out that the popular pharmacist was let go by one of their own.

Suddenly, I thought of something and asked, "Sister Changan, you should have come into contact with other pharmacist players."

"Well, what's wrong?" Yue Changan nodded.

"If you come across a good embryo, you can recruit him. Don't worry about the contract. I will pay a higher share than the guild, and I will also help persuade Miss Tris."

I told them my purpose. I wanted to train a group of specialized pharmacists like the guild did. However, ordinary guilds don't have such a high share of the profits. Plus, with Cuisi's specialized skills to teach, I believe not many pharmacists can resist such temptation.

"Well, aren't you worried that someone with bad intentions might come over here, Xiaotong?"

"So I need Sister Chang'an to help review it."

Faced with my full trust, Yue Changan hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, "I'll do my best."

After finishing my business with Sister Changan, I went to Cuisi's exclusive alchemy room on the third floor.

"This... plus this... finally it's done."

There was an inevitable flash of excitement in Tris's bright eyes. Just as she was about to try out the effect, a sudden voice behind her frightened her so much that she drank up the potion in her hand in one breath.

"What is refined?"

"Nothing...nothing." Tris hurriedly hid the empty potion bottle behind her, "Why did the Demon...the Demon King think of coming here?"

I glanced at him suspiciously, but couldn't tell anything from that cute face that was trying hard to look well-behaved, so I shrugged, took out the mechanical alchemy notebook and the mysterious energy core from my backpack and threw them to him.

After thinking about it, he threw the glorious chapter over as well.

"Do you know what these things are used for?"

In addition to being a pharmacist, Cuisi's other identity is an engineer. She is familiar with the related props of mechanical alchemy. I came here with this idea in mind, and I was not disappointed.

"Hey, this is actually a high-grade pheromone crystal. Hmm, it's a pity that the energy has been used up. The text on this notebook is a bit strange, and it seems to record a special mechanical structure." Cui Si frowned, "Master Demon, I may need some time to study it. Can I take these two things first?"

"Just let me know when you have any news." I nodded.

After receiving the two items, Cuisi also picked up the chapter of Glory and read it carefully, but after a while she shook her head.

I put this glorious chapter back without any surprise. After all, I didn't expect Tris to give any answers. It would be better to expect the boy in the back row to raise his hand and answer the question.

"Eh... Demon Lord, are you still not going back?"

While holding the alchemy notebook and planning to study it carefully, Cuisi caught a glimpse of someone next to her with a thoughtful look on his face, and she couldn't help but blink in confusion.

"I was wondering why your potion hasn't taken effect yet."

"Hmm?" Tris looked confused.

"Didn't you make a breast enhancement potion?" I took out an empty potion bottle and looked thoughtful. "Could it be that even this potion can't save you?"

Tris' eyes widened immediately, and she looked behind her to find that her hands were indeed empty. However, before she could even feel ashamed, she was provoked by my questioning, "How...how could it work so quickly? It says that it needs to be used continuously for at least a period of time..."

But when she picked up the recipe and planned to use the instructions left by her predecessors to prove herself, she suddenly discovered a problem.

"Hey, it seems like I made a mistake in refining it. This is... a growth potion..."

Growth Transmutation Potion? I've heard of it before. It seems to change the user's appearance to that of a more mature person. It's often used to play a prank on others.

……Um?

Suddenly, both Tris and I seemed to realize the key, and we both turned our eyes to certain places on one of the people that had not grown at all.

"..."

"..."

I patted Trish's shoulder sympathetically and sighed.

Chapter 150: Entrance to the Ballena Bunker (I)

During the period when a certain demon king was purchasing fire-resistant potions, the big guilds were naturally no exception. After all, the equipment and materials produced in the Barena Bunker were enough to affect the gap in strength between the various guilds.

Although the rumors about the Barena Bunker circulating on the forum and among players have a bit of hearsay in them, they obviously will not ignore them. After all, some of them contain information unearthed by researchers and have a certain degree of authenticity.

Olwyn Empire, Siflina region, Torch Valley.

This valley got its name because of its terrain which is similar to that of a torch. It is a common leveling spot with monsters ranging from level 15 to level 20. The tranquility of the past was broken at this moment by a group of players from the Storm Guild, who were scattered in the valley in groups of three or two to kill the monsters inside.

Leveling up is only one of the purposes. The main goal is to get the formula of the weak burn potion dropped in the valley.

After all, the information about high fire damage was widely circulated in the forum, and the guild's management considered it more and guessed that there might be abnormal negative conditions, which led to the above place. Moreover, it was not only Torch Valley, but also other places that produced related potion formulas were arranged within Storm.

Although it is just a guess, it is not difficult to guarantee that even if the guess is wrong, the fire resistance bonus of these potions determines that they can still maintain their value after the Barena Bunker is opened.

The camera turned back to Torch Valley, where a newly refreshed lava behemoth leader was quickly besieged by the players of the Storm Guild. Countless magic spells and attacks fell on the hard rock surface, leaving conspicuous marks.

Even with the solid defense and health of a boss, the lava monster boss only lasted less than half an hour under the attack of Storm and his members before the last attack took away his remaining life and he fell down with a bang.

The cheers from all around made Dao Feng darkly smile slightly, but before he could join in the lively atmosphere, a sudden dripping sound attracted his attention.

After looking at the guild members who were taking a short break around them, Blade stepped back dimly and answered the message.

"Brother Blade, this is an emergency!"

Hearing the anxious voice coming from the other side, Dao Feng was a little curious, "What's the matter? Tell me slowly."

"Don't be slow, let Boss Caesar bring people over quickly."

"You have to explain the situation clearly first. We are still leveling up in Torch Valley." Such incoherent words made Daofeng Andan frown, thinking that this kid was not usually so impatient.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a pair of big hands suddenly clapped up at him, accompanied by a hearty laugh.

"Hey, Blade, why do you look so sad? Could it be that a girl dumped you?" The Black King Caesar patted Blade's dull shoulder with a teasing tone.

"Boss, stop kidding me. I'm still single..." Blade was about to beg for mercy, but the voice from the other side made him jump. "What, Barron's bunker is open?"

"The bunker was opened. When did it happen?"

Even the Black King Caesar was shocked by the news, and his big hands stopped in mid-air for a moment.

However, Blade Dark didn't seem to notice it, and continued to talk to the other side of the communication channel. It was unknown what they were talking about, but his originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, "...You kid, don't speak half of your words next time."

After hanging up the call, Dao Feng An Dan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, Ah Quan said it will be soon. The entrance to the Barron bunker has been opened."
