Su Xiao looked at the many materials on the test bench. Most of these materials were of fire or metallic nature. From these materials, he could infer that Nicholas Caesar's alchemy was biased toward bomb science.
There are hundreds of branches of alchemy, including bomb science, pharmacy, biology, familiar creation, life pattern analysis, mechanical and biological combination, etc.
Su Xiao specializes in bomb science and pharmacy, which happens to be the same as Nicholas Caesar's research direction.
"The material processing is good. You are impeccable in this aspect. As for the blending and proportioning, with all due respect, your skills are not very good."
"fart!"
Nicholas Caesar snatched the test tube from Su Xiao's hand. That test tube seemed to be his darling.
"I have been studying alchemy for 15 years, starting when I was 16..."
Nicholas Caesar began to describe his great achievements.
"Alchemy apprenticeship is very hard."
Su Xiao's simple words made Nicholas Caesar stop chattering.
"Very hard."
Nicholas Caesar sighed and remembered his life with his 'mentor'. To a certain extent, the other party was not actually his mentor. He was just the other party's coolie, responsible for processing materials. As for alchemy and bomb science, that was him
Learned secretly.
"Researching alone is a good path, but don't ignore one point. Before doing research alone, you must first master the basics. That is the experience that many alchemists have accumulated day and night. Knowledge is precious, and sometimes it is no less than power. You said
Right, Kasa?"
Su Xiao's words made Nicholas Caesar fall into silence.
"You're right, but my name is Case, not Kasa. Kasa translated in goblin language means monkey shit."
Let’s not talk about why the goblin language is so strange. At this time, Caesar looked at Su Xiao with extremely hot eyes, as if he wanted to ‘eat Su Xiao alive’.
"Do you know...the knowledge of alchemy and bomb science?"
Caesar swallowed and stared at Su Xiao with his big round eyes.
"know……"
"real?!"
Caesar stood up excitedly and grabbed Su Xiao's hand. Su Xiao stepped back, but Caesar missed the opportunity.
"Know...somewhat."
Su Xiao's gasping tone made Caesar sluggish. At this moment, Caesar felt as uncomfortable as winning a five million grand prize, and when he went to receive the award, he found that receiving the award required a handling fee of 5.01 million.
"Approximately to what extent?"
Caesar took a deep breath to stay calm. Su Xiao didn't say anything, but just picked up a crumpled formula on the test table, looked at it for a while, and began to prepare the liquid bomb on the formula.
Ten minutes later, a bottle of semi-finished liquid bomb was prepared. Su Xiao could actually perfect this thing, but if he did that, he would attract the attention of the imperial military. In that case, he would probably leave the battlefield, and there would be no need for military exploits.
Think about it.
Caesar held the test tube as if he had found a treasure, moving carefully.
"Although your level is not as good as my mentor, you are... similar to me."
Nicholas Caesar gave a forced smile. In fact, he knew that Su Xiao's alchemy level was higher than his, but he just didn't want to admit it. More importantly, Caesar felt threatened.
"Compared with killing enemies on the battlefield, I don't like making this thing. It's too cumbersome."
Upon hearing this, Caesar's eyes lit up.
"Then...can you tell me a reasonable formula for liquid bomb? This is it. Although it is not a finished product, after a period of research, I can perfect it."
"Can."
Su Xiao's answer was so straightforward that Caesar couldn't believe it.
"real?"
"Of course, but I have a condition."
"What?"
Caesar subconsciously pulled the test tube rack on the table closer to him. His property was sacred and inviolable.
"Don't spread the word that I know alchemy. It will cause unnecessary trouble for me. You should know how crazy alchemy is."
"no problem."
Nicholas Caesar was ecstatic in his heart. This fit perfectly with his idea. It would not threaten his position in the Scarlet Legion, but would also allow him to master a higher level of alchemical bomb science.
Caesar stretched out his hand that was like a dead branch, Su Xiao also stretched out his hand, and the two of them covered their hands.
[Tip, the Hunter has activated the personal favorability of an important figure in the Iron-Blooded Legion, Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar. The current favorability is: 31.]
[Tip: A favorability score of 1 to 10 is the first meeting, 10 to 60 is a friendship, 60 to 80 is a close friend, and a favorability score of 80 to 100 can recruit slaves or followers under certain circumstances.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao was quite surprised. If the favorability with the female plot character reaches 80 or above, wouldn't it be possible to have sex?
Su Xiao glanced at Caesar, who was smiling evilly with yellow teeth in his mouth. He almost punched him. His sexual orientation was normal, and his affinity with creatures of the same sex was that of a friend or slave.
Before this, Su Xiao had not come into contact with information like favorability. This is actually something that is common to contractors with the charm specialty. The higher the favorability of the plot character, the more benefits they will get. The charm attribute has no independent combat power.
Attributes that need to be combined with skills to improve combat effectiveness certainly have their own unique features.
Putting aside Su Xiao's murderous aura, his touching 6 points of Charisma attribute are enough to dissuade most plot characters, and a few derivative worlds ago, his Charm attribute was below 5 points.
Su Xiao sighed. When you get something, you have to give up something. The simultaneous development of his four attributes is already an anomaly among contractors.
Picking up the alchemical materials at hand, Su Xiao began to explain the knowledge of alchemical bombs to Caesar. Although Su Xiao had never seen these materials, they still had the same properties as most of the materials used to make bombs. They were nothing more than stabilizing the explosives while increasing the explosion.
Power and scope.
Nicholas Caesar sat upright like a primary school student and listened attentively. At this time, he could no longer care about the majesty of the quartermaster. Knowledge is priceless, majesty and moral integrity are the same. You can just pick it up when needed.
As Su Xiao explained, reminders of the reincarnation paradise continued to appear.
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar’s favorability +5.]
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar’s favorability +8.]
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar’s favorability +6.]
…
After Su Xiao explained for half an hour, Caesar's favorability level had reached an astonishing 95 points. This made Su Xiao a little unbelievable. Could it be that he could accept Caesar as a slave or follower? That would be a huge profit. Caesar's personal ability
Not very good, but his position is high.
There was no prompt in the Reincarnation Paradise, which made Su Xiao vaguely feel that something was wrong. Perhaps Nicholas Caesar was more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Su Xiao stopped explaining the knowledge about alchemy bomb science, and Nicholas Caesar was still a little unfinished.
"Caesar."
"Um?"
"How about making the holly oak branch among the supplies cheaper?"
"This...isn't good."
Caesar smiled lewdly.
"Oh? What do you mean, that knowledge just now is not valuable?"
Although Su Xiaozhi revealed a small amount of knowledge about alchemy bombs, that knowledge was not something that Caesar could delve into alone.
