Chapter 16 Efficiency comes first

"Wilson, what do you want from me?"

The fat mage sat next to the alchemy table and waved. A cup of strong tea floated from the coffee table not far away. After he drank it, it floated back to its original place.

Xia Zuo's eyes followed the teacup floating around, and he quietly threw out the detection technique.

"Discovering unknown things, due to low mental and perception, unable to obtain more detailed information."

Wilson took out the evil old man's three silver coins and a broken crutch, briefly introduced the identities of Audrey and the two, and then recounted the information provided by Xia Zuo and Wilson's own inference.

The fat mage picked up the silver coin, smelled it, shook his head, "The smell is too mixed, and there is no special smell left."

He placed the broken crutch on the alchemy table, worked it with a wrench and a screwdriver, and took out a telescopic rod from the crutch with some small gears and long parts on it.

The fat mage picked up the magnifying glass and inspected the telescopic rod. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said:

"The number and place of origin of the alchemy product have been erased. Are there any obvious features around the cave?"

Xia Zuo felt the questioning gazes of Audrey and Fares, rolled his eyes and said:

"About twenty or thirty meters south of the cave, there is a pit that has not been filled in much. Inside are the bodies of two boys."

"Oh~ it would be much easier to handle if there is a corpse. The smell of decay will definitely be strong. Even if it is picked up or eaten by a wild beast, there will still be some smell left behind."

If you add a few drops of fire solvent to increase the power of the flame, it is not impossible to maintain a medium flame (1 meter) for about 10 seconds.

The identity of the evil old man can be determined by investigating the source of high-quality strong solvents.

He continuously flapped his nostrils to inhale the air, just like he was in a cave, carefully identifying the sources of various smells.

Xia Zuo felt that he was a big fool. He should have calmed down and calculated carefully.

Xia Zuo picked up the potion bottle and torch and went to the backyard of the hotel to try.

"Huh~"

Half an hour later, he lit the paper on fire and watched it turn to ashes in the bathroom basin.

Audrey and Xia Zuo rested here, waiting for Wilson's return.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Audrey came here and told Xia Zuo, Poppy and Snake some news that could not be said to be good or bad:

Vers said goodbye without saying goodbye and left the circus alone. In the last performance, Xia Zuo was about to officially go on stage to perform a fire-breathing performance.

Go into the stable and brush the horses, help the farmer carry the pole, help the salesman carry the bucket, mend clothes in the tailor shop, carry fresh chickens to the slaughter shop and borrow the space to slaughter them yourself...

Xia Zuo focused his attention and looked at the plus sign next to the vitality attribute.

The reaction from Poppy and Snake was mixed.

The fat mage walked back to where he was before, turned his back to everyone and rubbed the things in his sleeves again, mumbling some inaudible words as if talking to himself.

【Level】LV.5

【Experience】31/200

The circus's performances for the soldiers are coming to an end.

Oh my god, why didn’t I understand earlier!?

Xia Zuo returned to the room and prepared 2 bottles of secondary potions for warm-up, 2 bottles of intermediate potions for the first stage, 1 bottle of intermediate potions for the emotional stage, and 1 bottle for the climax of the performance.

Powerful potion.

"Audrey-style intermediate mixed fire-breathing agent, 7 blood points will be deducted every hour when held in the mouth."

In the past ten days or so, Xia Zuo has devoted every moment to earning experience.

The value of the information provided by Xia Zuo is currently difficult to estimate.

Wilson entered the room carrying a bucket of books.

In the purse are silver coins worth 20 silver dollars.

It is still far away from the goal of reaching 10 points in mental attributes.

This is the ultimate intensity of Xia Zuo's fire-breathing performance.

"I kept you waiting for a long time."

【Vitality】6+2→8

【HP】25+1+2→28

[blood return speed]

The important task of revitalizing the Audrey Circus suddenly fell on Xia Zuo's shoulders.

When I went on stage to warm up, I worked hard to perform fire breathing. During the rest of the time, I read books, practiced breathing fire, and holding elastic balls. All in order to upgrade as early as possible and get free attribute points.

[[Basic blood return speed]

About half an hour later.

Wilson took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it to Xia Zuo:

It is very easy to spit out a small flame (0.5 meters) and can last for more than ten seconds.

He has maintained this posture since returning to the room after dinner.

…

He carried the fire-breathing agent on his back in his luggage, carried the torch to the tipi tent, and put on the special overalls for the fire-breathing performance left by Vers.

The result of the calculation is...

1.11+0.18→1.29 points/hour

He prepared a bottle of mixed fire-breathing agent, using intermediate fire-breathing agent as the base material.

[Real-time blood return speed]

"Huh~~"

[Average blood return speed]

Xia Zuo was rehearsing alone at the performance venue, facing the empty auditorium with a bright smile, as if it was filled with spectators cheering for him.

In other words, the higher the efficiency of experience acquisition, the faster the acquisition of free attribute points.

[[Basic blood return speed]

Unsurprisingly, only the fire-breathing performers had the most experience and were the most efficient.

"Thank you, Wilson." Audrey nodded, poured out the books in the bucket and took a look.

"I have issued a reward order to search for a rural alchemist who abducted children. Anyone who provides information will be rewarded by the Piek Fortress military based on the importance of the information."

He had done all the jobs he could find in the city, except for carrying a weapon and patrolling the streets, or finding Wilson and asking to join the army.

"When there is new information, I will ask the messenger guard to tell you."

The fat mage turned to Xia Zuo and winked, then continued to play with the things in his hands.

【HP】

With a higher blood recovery speed, the self-healing effect of [Immortal Body] becomes more and more obvious.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head and took a big breath of air, "The smell in the underground alchemy room is better than I thought. The smell of decay is not very strong..."

Goldfinger's character template seems to be based on attributes, but in fact level is the core.

Xia Zuo added 3 drops of fire solvent to the intermediate mixed fire-breathing agent.

The blood return speed of 1.38 points/hour just covers the blood deduction speed during performances.

"Hey, I found it. It was hidden in the trash."

The fat mage exclaimed in surprise, "I found it! Let me take a look. There are three big black carbons in the hole. There is an unlucky guy who was stabbed to death by a glass bottle. Is this here? Little brat."

The flame instantly reaches a length of about 1.6 meters. With a little effort, it becomes a strong flame (at least 2 meters). It can easily maintain a strong flame for 5 seconds in one breath.

The small reception room on the second floor of the castle.

Just enough to buy a potion that instantly restores 20 points of blood!

1.29+0.33→1.62 points/hour

The blood return speed is 2.09 points/hour, which corresponds to the panel blood deduction amount of 10 points/hour for fire-breathing agent.

Turn up the energy early to greatly enhance the excitement of the fire-breathing performance. The experience you can get in the past ten days will definitely exceed 31 points!

Why bother worrying about how to add some points?

The efficiency of gaining experience is crucial.

More than 20 days after arriving at Piek Fortress.

"Little guy, leave your severed crutch and those three silver coins to us. This is the reward you deserve."

Xia Zuo sat in the guest room, staring blankly at the book open in front of him.

"That's right."
