Chapter 1434 Playing with Fire
To be honest, after listening to Merlin’s remarks, Jiawen was slightly shocked and was immediately put off by the old man, but after thinking about it, she It feels extremely reasonable and reasonable.
As the saying goes, in the past, Lichman led thunder from the sky to prove the truth of atheism, and in the future, there was Old Man Mei who swallowed the bullet and practiced the path of science.
What is the spirit of inquiry? This is the spirit of inquiry!
For a while, Gawen's admiration for Merlin... didn't improve much, but she still felt that this old man had a big heart, and he wouldn't live without it.
"Then the matter is settled."
Seeing that Jiawen didn't seem to have any objections, Merlin showed a look of sudden understanding. He immediately grinned and directly handed over the large amount of information in his bag. The appliances, accessories, reports, and logs were poured into a storage ring and carefully stored in the drawer. Then he put the thermos bottle given by Ji Xiaodao on the table and stood up happily. : "Shall we go?"
Gawen was suddenly startled again, and said in astonishment: "Now?"
"Right now, if you act more quickly, you can also go to the Mages Guild. Pick me up over there."
Merlin nodded cheerfully, and then strode out of the lounge, heading straight to the experimental area not far away with a swift and resolute movement.
In desperation, Jiawen had no choice but to follow quickly, and together with Merlin, they ran to the No. 3 test site in a hurry, and walked in with a rather subtle look on their face.
She was really curious now, whether the old academician who was trotting all the way in front was acting like this because his life in the game was not valuable, or whether he would act like this when he encountered anything that could arouse his interest.
After thinking about it, Gawen felt that it was both, but the proportion of the former should be higher. After all, Merlin is a scientific monster who thinks highly of himself. Even if he is willing to exchange his life for a certain truth, The object must also be a heavyweight discovery that can be recorded in textbooks.
In other words, in reality, Academician Mu Changchun would probably not risk his life just because of any small research, but if the situation requires it, it seems not impossible.
In short, she was just thinking about messy things as she and Merlin walked to the entrance of the testing ground, then stopped, planning to watch the other person die.
As a result, Merlin did look back at her in confusion, and asked curiously: "What are you doing standing around? Come in."
"Huh?"
Jia Wen was confused at that time. He raised his hand and pointed at himself in surprise: "Should I go in too?"
"Nonsense, with my shooting expertise, I may not be able to hit even if I hit my head."
>
Merlin nodded as expected and said impatiently: "And I also need your help in sorting out the experiment log. Damn it, I don't want to spend so much time helping an elderly person."
"Okay, but I may not be able to help you with the experimental logs or anything like that. To be honest, I can't understand the things you usually mess with."
Graduated from a well-known university in S city in management Jia Wen from the college laughed dryly and said frankly After showing that his education level was not enough, he asked curiously: "Why don't you call Bishop Bai or Grand Duke Garros over?"
"Both of them have been contaminated by the power of Mr. Mo. Understand what this [Sin-Infused Crystal] is It’s best not to come into contact with this project before you learn about it.”
Merlin shook his head without thinking, and then sighed sadly: “Well, let’s do this, I will teach you how to use the simple system in a while. Enter the operation and tell you how It only takes less than ten steps to automatically generate basic logs and reports. It should be no problem, right?”
Jia Wen saw that there was no way to avoid this, so she nodded helplessly: “Okay? Well, I’ll do my best.”
"Oh, it would be nice if I had an assistant. Now there are three people in a temporary experimental team. I alone do 90% of the work, and Osiris and Garros together do 10% of the work. It’s disturbing just thinking about it.”
While opening the gate of the third testing ground through his own authority, Merlin muttered: “Little Miss Gawen, do you know any talented young people who can do that? The one who helps me fight? Can I? The fee for the assistant is guaranteed to be three per month..."
"Not to mention whether the people I know are qualified for this job."
Jia Wen interrupted Merlin without thinking, speaking seriously. Said: "Your identity If it is accidentally leaked, just the projects you operate in this game can cause a lot of trouble."
"Haha, it seems that you have probably guessed what kind of person I am. .”
Merlin smacked his lips, and gave Gawen a simple identity authentication, and then led the latter to the testing site. While adjusting the pile of equipment listed not far from the door, he sighed lazily: "That's right. If this matter is accidentally exposed, even in the game, it will be easy for people to talk about it."
Gawen smiled slightly and suddenly suggested: "Speaking of which, if you have If you want to bring apprentices, I mean students outside the game, you can find a few reliable people to help here. I remember that the relationship between mentors and apprentices is generally relatively close."
"Okay. Guys, you want to poach people from me for Mo Xiaozi?"
The mature Merlin glanced at Jia Wen teasingly, then shook his head and said: "No way, it's not that I don't want to, it's just mine. The laboratory is relatively unpopular, and most of them graduated this summer. Before the semester officially started, I only had one female student at my disposal. Although that girl has a good mind, she is different from you. She is relatively simple and kind-hearted, so she is not suitable for this place. "< br>
Gawen laughed out loud and glared at Merlin with feigned anger: "How do you speak, old man? What do you mean by being different from me and being more simple and kind?"
"Literally, don't mind, don't mind, I'm just complimenting you."
Merlin laughed, then pulled Gawen to his side, pointed at the huge screen in front of him and said, "In a moment After the experiment starts, you first press the red one, then shoot me, and then press the blue one. If I can still speak, follow my instructions. If I can't speak, just check my friends' messages. If I don’t even send a friend message, just wait until I return to normal or die suddenly. If I die, press the white button three times in a row.”
Gawen nodded and looked in front of him calmly. The magic crystal screen: "Your wallpaper is... Hiyasada Maho?"
Merlin turned his head and glanced at Gawen with some surprise: "Experts, you can recognize this, when Stone Gate was popular You must not have been born yet?”
“That is a very good work.”
Gawen grinned and made a scissor gesture to Merlin: "I still have two sets of the earliest editions of the original painting albums, which have been out of print for many years."
Merlin's eyes suddenly widened: "Oh. "Hey, little girl Jiawen, you are really smart, don't you spend a lot of money?"
Jiawen smiled reservedly and did not answer. After all, she had already passed the level of showing off her wealth and deliberately mentioned it. This is just to enhance the relationship between colleagues. Of course, it also has the purpose of taking the opportunity to get to know the real academician Mu Changchun.
After all, he is an academician, and even a relatively undistinguished academician is not something that ordinary businessmen can just get to know.
Unfortunately, the old man had no intention of continuing the conversation. After adjusting the equipment, he quickly brought the topic back. "Let's talk about our friends later. The equipment has been debugged and you can sit here."
Merlin patted the stool next to him that was a little too high for Gawen, and then trotted all the way to the center of the test field. He stood at attention and then asked in a high voice. : "Hey! Miss Gawen, can you guarantee that you will hit me in the head with a shot?"
"It should be no problem."
As Gawen lowered the height of the chair, With the same volume, he shouted to Merlin who was more than ten meters away: "Are you sure you won't be killed instantly? Even if you use the lowest-level whiteboard gun, your current level may not be able to withstand it."
< br>"It's not a big problem. [Crime-impregnated bombs] have no lethality to begin with. I'm afraid that thing won't penetrate my head."
Merlin shook his head, and then shouted very simply: "Shoot!"
Bang——
Without any hesitation, Merlin had just finished speaking and he had not yet reacted. Next, Jia Wen quickly pressed the red button button, and at the same time, the jet-black crystal bullet was fired from a whiteboard flintlock gun with [ordinary] quality and simply 'none' usage requirements, directly hitting the old man's head. A small black hole was left between the eyebrows.
This kind of unexpected high-speed shooting can effectively reduce the target's pain. Even if the target is Merlin who doesn't care about the suffering of others, he also doesn't care about his own suffering. Gawen still tries to reduce the old man's troubles as much as possible.
Then, seeing that Merlin did not disappear directly into white light, or even fall down, Gawen, who guessed that the opponent was still alive, sat on the chair with peace of mind and pressed the blue button.
Suddenly, a pleasant beep began to sound around the test site, and the equipment around Jiawen also hummed into working mode.
And then——
“Hey! You missed.”
Merlin, who had a black hole on his forehead, jumped twice in place, dissatisfied Dichong waved to Jiawen: "Didn't you say it should be fine!?"
Jiawen: "..."
After reacting for a full five seconds, it was only when Merlin was about to jump again that Gawen stood up and loudly said to the former: "It's not empty. Check your own health and touch your forehead."
“My health points are full, okay!”
Merlin rolled his eyes, then raised his hand and touched the hole in the center of his forehead.
Merlin: "..."
The atmosphere was so tense for a moment.
To put it simply, Gawen shot him in the head according to Merlin's instructions, but the opponent didn't lose a drop of blood. He thought Gawen had hit him crookedly, so he touched his forehead, hey! Big holes!
Just like that, only a minute passed in silence. It was not until Gawen was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere that the situation suddenly changed.
Merlin's eyes were dyed pitch black at some point, literally pitch black. Both his sclera and pupils turned into pure and deep black.
Other than that, nothing has changed at all.
That's right, there really is no change at all. If it weren't for the fact that Gawen, who is half a shooter, has pretty good eyesight, he wouldn't even be able to notice the strangeness in Merlin's eyes.
But that is no longer important, because the person involved has already noticed the changes in his body.
"Aha...so that's what happened..."
I saw Merlin smacking his lips first, then gently tapping his head, muttering with a somewhat tangled expression. : "So the function of this thing is... uh... to refresh the mind? To save coffee? No, no, no... no, no... I have to analyze the status bar first... Oh, I have to remember it. I need to remember it. ..."
Then, Merlin walked back to Gawen, sat on the chair that the latter voluntarily gave up, and quickly typed in a lot of things that Gawen couldn't understand at all, and it continued like this. After working for ten minutes and writing at least two thousand words, I stretched out contentedly and looked relieved.
Until then, Gawen asked carefully: "Have you figured it out?"
"Just give it a try."
Merlin nodded, and then ignored Gawen. He just jumped off the chair lightly, trotted to the center of the testing ground, and picked up everything from his luggage, which had almost nothing left. He took out some alchemy materials and turned them around thoughtfully in his hand. After a while, without looking back, she shouted: "Press those two buttons in the upper left corner together."
"Okay."
Jia Wen immediately copied it without saying anything. , and then saw a metal dummy rising from the ground not far in front of Merlin.
"Black absinthe, salt spring water, full moon locust, golden powder."
Merlin murmured in a low voice, while raising his hand and waving lightly, and then saw several items from the pile of basic materials on the ground fly directly to its hand, and in a burst of distortion, turned into two reagents filled with crimson liquid.
[Strong Combustion Catalyst Type II] is the name Merlin gave to this liquid a few months ago. As the name suggests, its purpose is simply to support combustion. It has no special effect in itself and is just a simple auxiliary consumable. , generally used to heat crucibles and other containers during the alchemical process.
The ingredients are the four that Merlin just read about, and the theoretical cooking time is 4 hours.
Yes, although it only took Merlin one second to make two bottles of [Strong Combustion Catalyst II], in fact, their theoretical brewing time was four hours.
Not only that, when Merlin placed something like an alcohol lamp on the ground, he sprinkled about three drops of [Enhanced Combustion Accelerator Type II? 】After that, it is reasonable to say that the "alcohol lamp" that should directly turn into a ball of torch and burn out within five seconds does not show the above-mentioned normal phenomenon.
But...
In just one second, it turned into a bright white fireball with a radius of about seven meters and a temperature of nearly 3000 degrees Celsius!
