Chapter 20, Interview
There was silence next, because Fugate, who was in a suicidal state, obviously didn't know what to do next.
Charmian, who had finally recovered, thought about it and suggested that they go back to the hotel.
Spent a dreamless night.
"Is Miss Charmian here?"
"What's the matter?" Xia Mian gave up taking care of his tail and opened the hotel door.
There is a hired mercenary at the door. "Mr. Nathan Rice is going to purchase the materials for making Lingfenxiang. I asked you if you want to come with him."
"Wait for me." Shamian quickly took care of his tail hair and put on his field suit.
"It's rare for the instructor to get up early in the morning." Charmian greeted Fugate, "Where's Kuru."
"That Kulu guy is going to record the knowledge gained from linking to the World Tree yesterday, so let him go." Fugate said, "Speaking of aromatherapy alchemy products, I rarely dabble in them. This time I just want to try the aromatherapy category. ”
Most of Fugate's previous research was on pharmaceuticals and solid drugs.
For example, the H-emotion suppressant drug that is very popular now is a solid drug, but when Fugate and others take it themselves, they always take it as a potion, because the potion works faster, has better effects, and has fewer side effects.
The mass-produced H emotion-suppressing drugs sacrifice their efficacy and have relatively large side effects. Fortunately, they are convenient and cheap enough, so they sell better.
They are even sold in pharmacies here in Huachengguo.
Fugate and Charmian went around and bought enough raw materials.
But Fugate did not stop and purchased many other raw materials.
"Teacher, are you planning to improve the formula of Lingfenxiang?" Xia Mian asked.
"The Lingphenol fragrance sold on the market has too many impurities, and useless ingredients account for the majority. I will try to improve it, and there should be no problem." Fugate said.
According to Fugate's analysis, there should be three more important components in the aromatherapy of Lingphenol.
They are to enhance concentration, enhance perception and enhance mental power, but many of them are plants mixed with the power of thunder. Fugate knows that this is to enhance the efficacy of aromatherapy smoke through activation.
However, the methods used by these businessmen and bioscientists to process aromatherapy materials were too crude. Fugate had a better processing method, which not only made the medicine more effective, but also lasted longer, and the aromatherapy was also more resistant to burning.
Of course, the most important thing is that the cost of this new Lingphenol fragrance has not increased much, and most of it is made from local materials.
What I have to say is that the products in the Xumi area are a bit too rich. Even the Xumi specialties here in Daocheng Forest are terrifyingly abundant.
Fugate quickly completed the improved version of the aromatherapy according to his own understanding.
Then it is lit, and the smoke rises from the aromatherapy stove.
"It does smell much better." Shamian said after sniffing.
"Then start meditating," Fugate said.
Charmian said, "Don't you need to find a secluded place?"
The location Fugate chose was a hotel room. Although it was relatively quiet, it was still noisy compared to the depths of the jungle.
"The environment of this hotel is enough." Fugate said calmly.
As he spoke, Fugate entered a state of meditation, while Charmian stood guard at the door of the room.
Breathe in and out
Fugate frowned and opened his eyes, but what he saw was not a room, but a majestic giant tree.
[Something's wrong, brother, your consciousness seems to be separated from your body] The system's voice echoed in Fugate's consciousness.
"I know, so what is the situation now." Fugate, who has a bit of a high-ranking nature, also noticed the situation he just had.
He even doesn't care about his own six-character holy words.
"You look very confused." A gentle voice appeared from behind Fugate.
"Who are you?" Fugate turned around and looked, and then his expression relaxed. After tidying himself up a little, Fugate respectfully saluted the visitor, "Su Lun School scholar Nathan Rice H. Fugate Specially, I have seen the Queen of Grass and Trees, the Lord of Great Auspicious Wisdom, and the Crown of the Great Merciful Tree.”
"Hello, foreign traveler." King Daci Shu said, "I can sense that there seems to be something wrong with your consciousness."
"I came just to find a solution." Fugate said after giving a slight salute.
"It is rumored that the World Tree contains the entire knowledge of Teyvat. I wonder if there is a way to solve my consciousness problem."
King Daci Tree nodded and said, "I need to check on your situation."
"Please," Fugate said respectfully.
[Brother, are you so relieved? 】The system said doubtfully.
He doesn't mind the Daci Tree King's exploration. It's impossible to find him anyway. He is a very advanced system that is bound to the host's essence. It is different from those low-level systems that are bound to the body, soul and even consciousness. .
Fugate didn't answer.
The green radiant hand of the Great Merciful Tree King caressed Fugate's head.
King Daci Shu fell into deep thought.
"The problems in your body seem to be caused by a force, but I can only feel the existence of this force, but I can't find the entire force." King Daci Shu said.
"It's the power of Ix." Fugate said, "It's the power of the legendary Void Star God IX. He believes that the universe will eventually be nothingness, so it is worthless. The weird power in me is said to be from Void IX. Curse, it is better to say that it is a corner that I accidentally picked up when traveling across the sea of stars.”
"Because He never glances at anyone, let alone curses."
"I relied on a rare item to gain some capital to fight against the power of Ix." Fugate said.
Of course, the system is not that unbearable. In fact, the power of nothingness they encountered at the beginning is already a relatively core power of nothingness, otherwise the system would not be without resistance.
After hearing this secret, King Daci Shu nodded, and then began to make various attempts on Fugate's consciousness.
Unfortunately, in most cases, the symptoms are treated rather than the root cause.
In the end, King Daci Shu could only say regretfully: "I have no clue about this kind of power and can't help you."
"That's enough, Your Majesty." Fugate actually felt better, because he could feel that the erosion of his consciousness had been reduced a lot.
It has been reduced by about 10%, which is already very good for a primitive god who is still on the planet.
"Thank you very much for your help." Fugate said sincerely.
Then Fugate began to formally learn some knowledge from King Daci Shu, which was ancient knowledge lost in the world. Although brain science did not have much content, there was still a lot of research information on alchemy and consciousness.
"A traveler from another world, you seem to be well-informed. I wonder if there is any way to expel the pollution caused by this power." King Daci Tree raised her hand, and a jet-black power appeared in her palm.
King Daci Shu did not let Fugate directly come into contact with the power formed by this forbidden knowledge.
Instead, he told Fugate about its characteristics.
"It sounds like a kind of knowledge-based memetic pollution. The power of memetic pollution is very troublesome, but this power can be easily solved. That is my name Fugate (forgetfulness). Just forget it. Just bury the corners of the memory, or delete it directly with great power," Fugate said.
"And from your description, it seems that it is not simply memetic pollution, but mixed with some other things."
Then King Daci Shu let Fugate leave.
After Fugate left, the gorgeous World Tree Space Great Merciful Tree King fiddled with his long hair in distress.
"The forest will remember everything, alas~Akhmar~."
Then the Great Merciful Tree King disappeared into the space of the World Tree.
[Brother~ You are my brother. You'd better talk to me next time you do something so dangerous, okay? ] The sound of the system rang in Fugate's ears.
"I just wanted to get some knowledge from the World Tree, and I didn't expect to go directly to the World Tree to see the Great Merciful Tree King." Fugate said to the system in his heart.
Fugate was quite speechless about this.
But it's okay, after all, he is now considered a subject under the command of King Daci Shu, and the devil's lover is not a joke. "Teacher, you're awake." Charmian handed Fugate a glass of water.
Fugate felt thirsty in his mouth, so he drank directly.
"Teacher, what knowledge have you gained?" Kuru asked, holding a pen and paper.
He is also guarding his mentor, but while guarding, he is also writing down the knowledge he has gained.
"I have obtained a lot of research on consciousness, and some of it is alchemical knowledge." Fugate said, "It seems that a lot of knowledge is the result of the demon god's research on consciousness. One of the demon gods named Remus, his research on consciousness The research is very in-depth, even if I am a tutor, I am far behind him.”
"Integrating everyone's consciousness into the music, this is such an act of harmonizing destiny, even Xipei admired it."
"Teacher, who is Xipei?" Kulu asked curiously.
"You don't need to know about this Kulu boy, you just need to know that he is a great existence." Fugate said.
Fugate briefly talked about the knowledge he gained.
"It's really an unexpected bonus, don't you think so, mentor."
Fugate nodded, "The knowledge gained is enough for the three of us to digest for a long time."
Fugate, who had gained a lot of new knowledge, no longer wanted to continue traveling. After hastily collecting the leyline data, he completed the thesis.
After returning to Xumi City, the mercenaries of the 'Red King Shenwei' who had received commissions looked at each other, wondering what was going on with their employer.
The inspection, which was originally expected to take more than two months to complete, was directly compressed to half a month.
But I got all the commissions.
The spirit wind hunter shook his head and didn't think about that, and said to the brothers, "Okay, kids, don't think about anything else. Let's go back to the tribe. It happens that we haven't been back for a long time, but before that, let's go first Have a big drink.”
"Yes, boss." The younger brothers happily put away their weapons and followed their boss into the tavern in Xumi City.
······
Another happy research routine was spent.
However, the people in the Sixth Level Manor were changed, replaced by Xia Mian and Sameer.
This guy Kuru didn't know why, and he went to study the earth's veins halfway. Fugate could only entrust it to his senior brother Myefan.
At that time, there happened to be a sudden earthquake in the earth's veins, and Batu was too busy to get away. Banka was even worse. I heard that he and the caravan he formed were stopped in Liyue Port, and even Xumi couldn't come back.
Fugate could only ask someone to find Sameer. It happened that Sameer was not doing well in Aru Village... Well, how should I put it? It was probably because of the unsaleable medicine or something like that. After all, it's just a village. No matter how prosperous it is, it's impossible for it to swallow all of Sameer's potions.
It was okay in the beginning, the income could at least support my research.
But later on, it was already good to be able to live hand to mouth, and now it takes only a month to save enough raw materials for a dose of intelligence development potion.
Sameer had no choice but to come to Xumi City to live and conduct his own research. Then this guy was captured by Fugate and brought to work.
After today's experiment was completed, the two ladies took off their experimental suits while chatting.
"Speaking of which, what on earth is that Kulu guy thinking?" Samer complained, "I don't study the elements well, I just went to study the earth veins."
"My mentor and I also asked about this, but he just didn't want to talk about it." Shamir said, "But let's talk about the scars on your body."
"It's just that the monster caught fire." Samer looked at the scar on his arm and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've already taken the medicine. It will disappear in about two or three days. The elemental shield technique the teacher taught us... that's true. Practical.”
"By the way Sameer, when Kulu and I were chatting before, I heard him say that he seemed to like you." Shamir said with a strange expression.
Sameer also scratched his head and said, "Who told you to be so handsome back then?"
"What I mean is that you should ask and see if Kulu can tell you. After all, if you keep things in your heart for a long time, problems can easily arise." Shamian said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Sameer helped Shamian tidy up his tail hair.
"This tail is so soft, and these ears and hair..."
"Don't play with your ears..." Shamian reminded with a dark face, Tinale people's ears are very sensitive.
The two apprentices quickly completed the change.
"Teacher, aren't you going out?" Xia Mian said, looking at his tutor who was still doing some alchemy experiments in front of the experimental table.
The mentor's recent private research is a weird spell called [Occlumency], which seems to be to fix the effect of H's emotional suppressor, and it is said that this spell can also resist abilities such as mind reading.
Charmian was also very interested in this, and even more interested in one of the items, because it was said that there was an alchemical item called a pensieve among the mentor's private research.
This kind of object can store people's memories, knowledge, experiences, and even subtle thoughts.
Not only can you use it yourself, but you can also let others use it. It is a very powerful alchemy tool. I don’t know where the instructor found it.
This matter may be a small thing for an individual, but it is too important for the power. With this thing, various master-level skills can be preserved and passed on.
Even if there are various restrictions on the use of this alchemical item, it is still very powerful.
Fugate glanced at the young and beautiful Charmian and Samer, and couldn't help feeling in his heart that he was indeed old.
"You guys go out and play. Tutor, I still have something to do." Fugate shook his head and refused the invitation for the two of them to go shopping together.
When the two left, Fugate stopped calculating.
Called up the system.
[Finally, I have accumulated enough hope and can finally pray. Can't you change your number addiction? You have to wait until you have accumulated thirty-six draws before you draw the lottery. 】
Since Fugate has not purchased rough stones on a large scale for a long time, the power of prayer representing the number of draws has been accumulated very slowly.
On the contrary, it represents the accumulation of a lot of hope for setting the track.
"This cannot be changed." Fugate said, "Let's discuss what we should smoke this time first and see if the system has any suggestions."
[It is strongly recommended to draw randomly. Although the probability of getting garbage is higher, the possibility of getting good things is also higher. 】
"Then divide it into three parts, 12 parts to find knowledge about consciousness, soul, and brain science, 12 parts to find a solution to the intrusion of the power of Ix, and the last 12 parts are randomly selected."
【The prayer pool is praying】
[Bound books on brain science from entry to mastery (300 books)]: (omitted)
The first shot was a waste... Fugate had already mastered most of the knowledge in it, and could even point out many fallacies.
Next comes shots two through seven, all the same stuff.
[Leaves of the Tree of Wisdom]*6: The three-star medicine from "The Lord of the Rings", obtained the leaves of the Tree of Wisdom that are completely withered/severed/severely alive/severely damaged/slightly damaged/full of vitality, Planted by elves, it can enlighten wisdom after taking it. The state of the leaves will not affect the effect.
It's still a good thing, and Fugate plans to refine it into a potion and take it to maximize its effectiveness.
Among them, the leaves that are full of vitality and those with slightly damaged vitality are ready to be handed over to the Sheng Lun sect, hoping that they can be planted by then.
The eighth round soon appeared.
[Educational children's toys·Six-sided checkers]: A one-star toy from the OL world of Earth.
The corner of Fugate's mouth twitched. Does this count?
The remaining ninth to eleventh rounds are even more disappointing, because these two are gift packages of educational toys, including Rubik's Cube, Tangram, and Luban Lock.
The twelfth shot finally came to be of some use.
[Spell·Mechanical Mind]: A two-star spell from the world of "Dungeons and Dragons" that can make people immune to some mind control spells and emotional spells. Although it is a spell, it contains a lot of psychological knowledge.
Although it is useful, it is not very useful, because it is already included in Fugate's intelligence development treatment, and the effect is even more powerful than this spell. As long as he does not remove it, it is a permanent effect, and it is also There is absolutely no need for such a thing as mana.
"It seems that we can appropriately reduce the number of brain science-related lottery draws in the future." Fugate sighed.
In the first batch of twelve, only the leaves of a few wisdom trees were of some use. In fact, these were the leaves of a relatively precious apple tree.
Fugate was helpless about this, and the system even laughed at Fugate's bad luck.
