Chapter 782: Knowledge is power
Chapter 782: Knowledge is power
Su Xiao checked the numerous materials on the test bench, most of these materials were fire attribute or metallic, from these materials he could deduce that Nicholas Caesar's alchemy favored bombology. vv
There were hundreds of branches of alchemy, bombology, pharmacy, biology, enchanter manufacturing, life graphic analysis, and mechanical and biological combination.
Su Xiao specialized in bombology and pharmacology, which just happened to be similar to Nicholas Caesar's direction of specialization.
"The materials are handled well, you are impeccable in this area, as for the blending and proportioning, with all due respect, your skills are not good. "
"Bullshit!"
Nicholas Caesar snatched the test tube from Su Xiao's hand, and that test tube seemed to be the apple of his eye.
"But I've been specializing in alchemy for a full 15 years, since I was 16 years old ..."
Nicholas Caesar began to introduce his great achievements.
"Alchemy apprenticeship is tough, isn't it. "
Su Xiao's simple sentence made Nicholas Caesar stop chattering.
"It's...hard work."
Nicholas Caesar sighed, remembering the life he once had with his 'mentor', in a way, the other party was actually not his mentor, he was just the other party's drudgery, specializing in handling the materials, as for the Alchemy Bomb Study, that was something he stole.
"Studying alone is a good path, but don't overlook one thing, before you study alone, you first need to master the basics, that is the experience that many alchemists spent ignoring the days and nights to summarize, the degree of value of knowledge is sometimes not inferior to the power, don't you think so, Caesar."
Su Xiao's words caused Nicholas Caesar to fall into silence.
"You're right, but my name is Kaiser, not Caesar, Caesar means monkey shit when translated from the gnomish language."
Leaving aside why the gnomish language was so puritanical, at this moment, Caesar's gaze towards Su Xiao was unusually fiery, as if he wanted to 'eat Su Xiao alive'.
"You know... alchemy system bomb science?"
Caesar swallowed his saliva, those big round eyes staring at Su Xiao.
"Knowledge of ..."
"Really?!"
Caesar excitedly stood up and grabbed at Su Xiao's hand, Su Xiao stepped back a bit and Caesar grabbed an empty hand.
"Know...some."
Su Xiao this big gasping tone made Caesar freeze, at this moment Caesar's mood was as difficult as winning a five million dollar jackpot and going to claim the prize and realizing that there was a 5.01 million dollar processing fee to claim the prize.
"About what degree?"
Caesar took a deep breath to keep calm, Su Xiao didn't say anything, just picked up a crumpled recipe on the test bench, and after checking it for a while, he started to mix the liquid bomb on the recipe.
Ten minutes later, a bottle of semi-finished liquid bomb was blended, Su Xiao could actually perfect this thing, but if he did that, he would receive the attention of the imperial military, in that case, he would probably leave the battlefield, and the category of war merit would be unthinkable.
Caesar held the test tube like a treasure, his movements careful.
"Although your level is not as good as my mentor's, but... it's similar to mine."
Nicholas Caesar gave a far-fetched smile, in fact, he knew that Su Xiao's alchemy level was a bit higher than his, he just didn't want to admit it, more importantly, Caesar felt threatened.
"Compared to killing the enemy in the battlefield, I don't like making this thing, it's too tedious."
Hearing these words, Caesar's eyes lit up.
"Then... can you tell me a reasonable recipe for a liquid bomb? It's this kind, although it's not a finished product, but after a period of research, I can perfect him."
"Can."
Su Xiao's answer was unusually dry, so dry that Caesar was a bit incredulous.
"Really?"
"Of course, but I have a condition. "
"What?"
Caesar subconsciously pulled the test tube rack on the table closer to himself, his property sacrosanct.
"No spreading the word about my knowledge of alchemy, it will cause me unnecessary trouble, and you should be aware of the insanity of alchemy."
"No problem."
Nicholas Caesar's heart was ecstatic, this was a perfect match with his idea, it wouldn't threaten his position in the Scarlet Legion, and it would also allow him to master a higher level of alchemy-based bombology.
Caesar stretched out the hand that was like a withered tree branch, Su Xiao also stretched out his hand, and the two of them covered their hands.
[Hint, Hunter has activated the personal favorability of an important figure of the Scarlet Legion, Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar, now favorability: 31].
[Hint: Goodwill 1~10 for first meeting, 10~60 for friendship, 60~80 for best friend, 80~100 can recruit slaves or followers in specific situations].
Seeing this tip, Su Xiao was quite surprised, if the goodwill with a female plot character reaches 80 or more, wouldn't it be possible to hee hee hee?
Su Xiao looked at Caesar who bared his mouth full of yellow teeth and smiled wickedly, he nearly punched out, his sexual orientation was normal and the goodwill with creatures of the same sex was a friend or slave relationship.
Before this, Su Xiao hadn't come into contact with this kind of information about goodwill, this was actually something that was commonplace for charisma specialty contractors, the higher the goodwill of the plot characters, the more benefits they raked in, and the charisma attribute, as an attribute that didn't have an independent combat power, and needed to be paired with a skill in order to improve combat power, certainly had its own unique features.
Not to mention Su Xiao's murderous aura, his touching 6 points of charisma attribute was enough to dissuade most of the plot characters, and a few spin-off worlds ago, his charisma attribute was below 5 points.
Su Xiao sighed, what you get you also have to give up, his simultaneous development of all four attributes was already an anomaly amongst contractors.
Picking up the alchemy materials beside his hand, Su Xiao began to explain the knowledge of alchemy bomb science to Caesar, although these materials Su Xiao had never seen, but also in most of the characteristics of the materials used to make bombs in common, nothing more than stabilizing the explosives at the same time to increase the power and range of the explosion.
Nicholas Caesar sat up straight like an elementary school student, listening intently, at this time he already couldn't care less about the Quartermaster's majesty, knowledge is priceless, majesty and modesty, when needed then pick up on it.
Along with Su Xiao's explanation, the hints of the Reincarnation Paradise kept appearing.
[Quartermaster-Nicholas Caesar's favorability +5.]
[Quartermaster-Nicholas Caesar's favorability +8.]
[Quartermaster-Nicholas Caesar's favor +6.]
...
After Su Xiao explained for half an hour, Caesar's favorability had reached an astonishing 95 points, which made Su Xiao a little unbelievable, did it mean that he could take Caesar as a slave or follower? That would be a big profit, Caesar's personal ability was not good, but his position was high.
The Reincarnation Paradise didn't show any hints, which made Su Xiao vaguely feel that something wasn't right, perhaps Nicholas Caesar was more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Su Xiao stopped explaining about Alchemy Bombology, and Nicholas Caesar was a bit uninterested.
"Caesar."
"Huh?"
"How about that piece of sacred oak branch in the supplies for cheap?"
"That's...not good."
Caesar smiled lewdly.
"Oh? See what you mean, that knowledge just now wasn't worth much?"
Although Su Xiaozhi uttered a small amount of alchemy bomb knowledge, that knowledge was not something Caesar could drill out on his own.
