Renn made an escape plan and ignored the sneak assassin who was watching him outside the house.
Even if Pisis deliberately left the laboratory and left him alone, he did not choose to escape rashly.
What's more, there are still two days before the "Black Market Fair", so Renne must make some preparations in advance.
... .
Late at night, enter dreamland.
The dream created by "Intelligent Brain" is no longer a scene in the library, but a 1:1 restoration of the Pixis Potion Laboratory.
On the operating table, not only are all kinds of equipment available, but even the pharmaceutical materials in the lockers are exactly the same as in the real world.
Next, Ren didn't do anything else. Instead, he walked directly to the operating table, picked up the test tube and measuring cup, and began to try to prepare the antidote for the [Zombie Potion].
In the eyes of outsiders, it is definitely an overestimation of one's capabilities for a potions apprentice who has only been in the profession for a few days to start preparing finished potions.
Even for the talented students in the "Royal Potion Academy", the top institution in the Omar Empire, purification, extraction, fusion... each basic step requires at least several months of hard practice before they can reach the level of trying to fuse it into a medicine.
How can an apprentice who has just been started for a few days start configuring finished medicines as soon as he comes up
But Renn is a special case.
... ..
In this world, potion masters have a high status and are extremely rare in number. The reason is not because there are few people who want to learn, but fundamentally because the threshold for this subject is... extremely high!
Getting started with potions requires not only the massive and boring professional theoretical knowledge of a [polymath], but more importantly, it requires "krypton gold".
If a potion master apprentice wants to advance to become a formal potion master, he needs a lot of practical training.
The amount of material wasted in this process is definitely a figure that would stun ordinary people. Even many aristocratic families may not be able to train a formal potion master even if they go bankrupt.
Moreover, there may not necessarily be a return for "krypton gold", which is the second threshold that dissuades the vast majority of people.
Talent, hard work, opportunity, mentorship.
This is the second, third, fourth, and fifth threshold.
Indispensable.
Because of these high thresholds, the "Poison Master" was originally a profession that only nobles and European emperors could afford. The starting point of their entry is often the end point of ordinary people's lifelong struggle, and their status is destined to be higher than other extraordinary professions.
But Renn doesn't have to worry about the "krypton gold" threshold at all.
With his intelligence and brain, he has the advantage of being a "Tian Hu"!
Because in the dream, he has unlimited materials to waste.
As long as it is a potion material that has been recorded by the brain, its efficacy, characteristics, pharmacology... can be converted into accurate data, and can be simulated and restored 100% in the dream.
Failure can be repeated indefinitely, and even if the operation is incorrect, there is no life-threatening risk of "explosion".
This is the most important reason why Ren started refining the finished potion directly.
... .
In the dream, Ren began to get busy.
On the left hand side is the formula for the antidote, and the projection in front of him shows the entire process of Pisis refining the medicine during the day.
He didn't even need to use his brain at all, just follow the projection and try it step by step.
Whatever materials Pixis takes, he will take.
Whatever Pixis did next, he would follow suit.
How many degrees of heating, how many times of purification, and fusion time accurate to milliseconds...these data are all accurately recorded by the brain.
After all, this is just a primary potion, and it has not yet involved some complex reaction processes that require difficult and extraordinary abilities to override. It can be said that as long as the movement of the projection is completely reproduced, even an apprentice can successfully complete the dispensing.
But even so, Renn failed countless times.
Just in purifying and extracting more than ten kinds of materials, he failed no less than hundreds of times in order to reach a usable standard.
The same is true for configuring potions. A small mistake in one step can lead to the failure of the entire potion configuration.
Fortunately, the twenty times faster time flow in the dream world and the unlimited supply of virtual materials gave him plenty of time to make such a luxurious attempt.
For others, not to mention the energy consumption, just using these high-grade materials to practice, even the top noble apprentices would not dare to have such a luxury.
... .
At night, Ren practiced repeatedly in his dreams;
During the day, when Pisis left the laboratory, he started to experiment directly.
Finally, hard work pays off.
Renn, who has the super plug-in "Intelligence Brain", finally succeeded in refining this antidote that only a formal potion master can prepare after many failed attempts!
So... Renn's pharmacy level has reached the level of an official potion master
No, not even close.
In fact, his foundation is not as good as that of an ordinary pharmacy apprentice.
For ordinary academic potion master apprentices, it takes about one or two years of basic learning from getting started in potion to refining the finished antidote.
But with the assistance of "Intelligent Brain", Renn skipped this process directly.
The formal potion master examination is like the college entrance examination, which requires comprehensive assessment of scores in various subjects. And he is just a "geek" who is seriously partial to subjects and can only solve one type of question.
He doesn't have to understand the vast theoretical underpinnings involved in the entire dispensing process. What are the characteristics of a single material, what is the principle of fusion of medicinal properties, and what impact will temperature fluctuations have on medicinal efficacy
He didn't have to think about this at all.
Renn only needs to copy the entire image data left by the "intelligent brain" and steal Pixis's every move.
Two whole nights, equivalent to more than a month of hard training for others, he specialized in one kind of potion.
Then, he successfully prepared the finished potion that only a one-star potion master could theoretically prepare.
... .
Of course, the shrewd Pixis also discovered traces of tampering on the experimental bench, and there were also some missing materials in the locker that were obviously [Zombie Potion] antidote.
In the old man's view, Ren's behavior was naturally an attempt to prepare the potion without overestimating his capabilities.
Haha, you haven’t learned to crawl yet, but you want to fly
What a stupid act.
At most, it was just a loss of some materials. Pixis didn't take it to heart at all and pretended not to see it, letting Ren do whatever he wanted.
Two days passed peacefully like this.
Finally, the destination has arrived.
... ..
Banditry in the southern part of the Omar Empire has been a stubborn problem for decades. The imperial army has come to exterminate them countless times, but they have never eliminated these slippery Phantom Thieves. With the combat power of hundreds of Phantom Thieves, they can even conquer some large territories.
The location selection for this large-scale "black market trade fair" was as cautious as ever.
The open terrain on the shores of Storm Lake allows the Phantom Thieves to escape from all directions once the Imperial Army is discovered. It is simply impossible to completely encircle and suppress them.
Today, rare good weather.
The fog on the ground was light and thin, and visibility was quite high.
When the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" arrived at the shores of Storm Lake, more than a hundred Phantom Thieves of all sizes had gathered there.
The bonfire stretched for dozens of miles, and it was full of people and excitement.
Steam machinery cities of various sizes and strange shapes are stationed by the lake, resembling a herd of bison drinking water together on the grassland.
The chimneys are towering, and the black smoke goes straight into the blue clouds. Hyenas, crabs, iron barrels, octopus, hedgehogs... These mechanical cities have strange shapes and are full of dark industrial style.
Among the steam machinery cities, there are three "war elephant-level" castles that stand out from the crowd.
Their black armor is each spray-painted with a ferocious one-eyed wolf head logo, which is particularly conspicuous.
This is clearly the organizer of this trade fair, the top group known as one of the three major Phantom Thieves in the Oma Empire - the "White Wolf Phantom Thieves".
And its leader is surprisingly one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters", a legendary figure on the ceiling of Phantom Thieves, a top transcendent who has unlocked the fifth-level gene lock, and is jointly offered a reward by the two empires of Omar and Sid. Eighty million liso... [White Wolf] Bazel Gustave!
This lively black market trade fair is full of wanted criminals with bounties exceeding tens of millions. Even the arrival of a notorious group like the "Weasel Group" did not cause the slightest ripples.
This is the peak gathering of the Phantom Thieves, a carnival of bandits.
... .
“It’s really lively”
Ren sighed with emotion. He looked at the fiery market in front of him, his eyes trembling.
At this moment, he finally saw the dawn of "freedom".
Hearing this, Pixis in front of him had an imperceptible smile on his lips, and said without looking back: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet your colleagues in the potion world..."
"is teacher."
After hearing this, Renn followed Pixis obediently and walked down the Mechanical City step by step.
