The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

A tall and thick dwarf man, but only about 1.3 meters tall, appeared at the door and shouted in a thick voice: "Ajuan? Do you have any explosives here?"

"Explosives? Why did you come to me to ask about this stuff if you didn't go to Lanbitou's shop?" Sister Ajuan's expression was subtle, "He's the only one in our town who sells it. It's not like you don't know about it."

"Hey, they don't have any in stock. How else can I ask around?" The strong dwarf looked helpless. "They said that the flame grass is out of stock recently. Oh, damn, I'll ask elsewhere."

After that, the dwarf and the strong man left.

"Hey..." Lu Lin touched his chin and watched the dwarf man leave, "Is there such a shortage of explosives?"

"It has always been like this. Making explosives is dangerous. Whether they are pharmacists or alchemists, few apprentices are willing to learn the relevant formulas." Sister Ajuan felt helpless. "Before, only the pharmacist at Lan Bitou's family could prepare explosive potions. , they are the only ones who can sell explosives in the town. Well, maybe Master Sebuike in the east of the town can also refine explosives, but after all, he is the only intermediate alchemist in the town, and no one will be willing to pay for it. He started making explosives. Alas, flame grass is easily out of stock this season. It seems that these miners have been having a hard time recently."

"No," Lu Lin touched his chin, "That's not necessarily the case..."

Ten minutes later, Lu Lin left the underground treasure.

At this moment, he was in a very good mood. He had already negotiated the business with Sister Ajuan and got a price that he was very satisfied with.

There used to be only one store in the town that sold explosives, and its apothecary association had only one formula, "Active Primary Plant Extract Explosive Potion." In Lulin's Alchemy Manual, the [Explosive Potion] under [Destruction Formula] This potion is also included in the catalog.

This potion is not bad in power, the cost is not high, and the synthesis is not difficult. Among the primary potions, it can even be called the king of cost performance.

But no matter how good a primary potion is, it is still a primary potion, and it will inevitably have its limitations and shortcomings.

This "active primary plant extract explosive agent" has three shortcomings.

First, this agent is quite unstable and may explode as long as it is hit hard. Therefore, it must be transported very carefully, otherwise an accident is very likely to occur.

Of course, this shortcoming is not uncommon. Most elementary explosive agents have this problem, and veteran miners also have their own ways to circumvent this problem.

The focus is on the last two items.

Secondly, this potion requires fresh fire grass for preparation, which is difficult to make during the season when fire grass is less produced.

Third, its effect will gradually weaken over time. After a bottle of medicine is prepared, its power will weaken after a week, its power will be halved after half a month, and it will be completely ineffective after one month, making it almost impossible to store it for a long time.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that this thing is out of stock seasonally.

And the time when it is out of stock is Lu Lin's business opportunity.

Lu Lin's alchemy manual records a large number of recipes, and the [Destruction Recipes] directory can be called a complete collection of elementary bombs.

After browsing, Lu Lin quickly selected one of the recipes.

There is something called "Primary Fire Dust" in the [Other] entry of [Destruction Formula].

This is a kind of gunpowder dust refined from several common alchemical materials and an ore dust called "warm stone". Once ignited, it will burn rapidly.

As long as the lead is buried in it, refining it twice, and then putting it into a sealed container, you can make the "primary fire dust explosive" under the "Solid Bomb" entry of the "Destruction Formula".

This is an explosive that is more troublesome to refine.

Compared with the active primary plant extract explosive agent, which is the king of cost performance, its cost is higher and there are more refining steps.

But the higher cost and more difficult refining also bring many advantages.

First of all, it is safer and will only detonate if it sees an open flame.

Secondly, it doesn’t care about the season. It can be made in any season and can be stored for a long time.

For example, when this kind of explosive is out of stock, even if it costs high and the price is high, you won't have to worry about selling it.

Lu Lin calculated for himself and found that the materials needed to refine primary fire dust explosives were very common. There was no need to waste time collecting them. Just buy them directly. The only more expensive material was "warm burning stone", but this thing was originally produced in As for the mining area, he had talked with Sister Ajuan. As long as it was used to make explosives, the other party could help him find the mining area to receive the goods at the cost price. He only needed to pay an extra 5.00% as hard work fee.

As for the purchase price of the refined explosives, Sister Ajuan was very generous, which was about [-]% or [-]% lower than the selling price of explosives in Lanbitou store, and she promised to purchase unlimited quantities.

Lu Lin made a rough estimate. According to the negotiated terms, if he bought all the materials and refined the explosives at home throughout the process, he should be able to make a monthly profit of nearly three gold coins in the end.

Earn three gold per month!

Three hundred silver coins!

Thirty thousand copper coins!

Lu Lin had to lament that his ability to make money now is really different from the past.

I think back then, I worked tirelessly in the mountains to collect materials, and my monthly income was only between twenty and thirty silver coins.

This is just becoming a junior alchemist, and his income can increase more than ten times?

Haha.

If he becomes an intermediate-level or senior-level person in the future, Lu Lin wouldn't even dare to think about his earning power!

Thinking of this, Lu Lin's smile became even bigger and his steps became brisker.

Judging from this situation, it only takes him three or four months to save the ten gold coins required by the system.

Speaking of which, the days when I collected medicines and saved money seemed to have passed just over 100 days.

Looking at it this way, the time is almost the same, but can a life with a monthly income of [-] yuan be the same as a life with a monthly income of [-] yuan?

These three months will no longer be such hard days.

With daydrees about a better future, Lu Lin happily walked on the streets of the town, purchasing various materials needed to refine explosives. He did not realize at all that in the shadow of the street, a pair of eyes were watching closely. he.

Chapter 18 Why do you think you messed with her?

in the afternoon.

Barn Tavern.

A group of shop assistants and tavern owners are making preparations for the opening.

"Oh, damn, why do I feel like I can't get anything done today..." Tang Bo muttered and yawned.

Looking up at the store, I suddenly realized what the problem was.

"Huh? Where's Gru? He didn't come to work today?" he asked confused.

Gru is also a clerk here. He is usually taciturn and has no sense of presence, but he has always done a lot of work. There are only three or four clerks in the store, and there is one less today. No wonder he feels that he has too many things to do. few.

"Hmm, who knows, isn't it good that he didn't come?" The tavern owner, Dam, heard Tombo's complaint and casually continued, "I wish he would never come here again."

"Ah?" Tang Bo looked at Bam in confusion, "Why? Did you quarrel?"

"No, he never farts every day, who can argue with him," Bam curled his lips, "No, you kid doesn't know who Gru is, right?"

"Ah? Who is he from? I don't know. I haven't had a few words with him since I came to work," Tang Bo said.

"Oh, then it's no wonder you asked like that," Bam sighed, "It's right when you think about it, you came late, and no one told you that Gru was actually the Black Snail Gang's spy in the tavern. "

"He is from the Black Snail Gang?" Tang Bo was shocked, "Real or false! Why has no one told me about such a big thing?"

"It's something we all know very well. Who would talk about this when they have nothing to do?" Another clerk on the side interjected, "This is the only tavern in the town. How could the Black Snail Gang not arrange an informant here, but say informant, arrange Drunkards can't do anything, so the best option is of course to let a shop assistant in. Not only does it cost nothing, but you can also earn some wages."

"Huh? But, boss, don't you have any objections to this?" Tang Bo looked at Bam in astonishment.

"So what if I have an opinion? How can I offend the Black Snail Gang?" Bam rolled his eyes, "If you don't let this stake stay in my store, do you think my business can go smoothly? Just Not to mention anything else, what happened a few days ago, if their spy hadn't been there, do you think they could have left so happily?"

"Ah, that's right, what happened a few days ago..." Tang Bo nodded, "Speaking of it, that thing was quite strange."

"It's really weird," Bam touched his chin, "but it's not without signs. One day before, Debel got drunk and slept all night for no apparent reason. At that time, I heard someone murmuring that this guy's drinking capacity is now high. It's so bad, could it be that my body was damaged by myself... Ah, speaking of it, it seems that that day was the night Lu Lin came to drink for the first time?"

"Huh? What a coincidence that day..." After saying this, Tang Bo suddenly froze, and even stopped working.

"Huh? Hello? What's wrong with you kid?" Bam waved his hand in front of Tang Bo's eyes.

"Ah!" Tang Bo finally came back to his senses, then scratched his head and said with a slightly worried face, "I just suddenly thought... no, no matter how you put it, this should be impossible..."

"Oh!"

"Phew! Ouch..."

Lu Lin put down his full backpack and kept rubbing his shoulders with his hands.

Sure enough, the more complacent a person is, the more he should remind himself to be cautious, otherwise he will easily get carried away.

Just like today, Lu Lin only thought about making a lot of money, but ended up buying too much of each material. In the end, he filled a basket full of things and almost died from exhaustion carrying the things back.

"Oh, sure enough, you shouldn't save some money. Next time you need to buy goods, you have to rent an oxcart to help deliver them..." Lu Lin thought and closed the door.

Turning around, he saw that the girl was still sleeping on the bed. There was an empty bottle on the bedside. It was the sleeping pill Lu Lin had prepared at home. It looked like he had drank another bottle.

"Hey, if I sleep more than 23 hours a day, will there really be no problem?"

Lu Lin couldn't help but think.

Ok……

I always feel that my worries are in the wrong direction.

I would rather drink medicine and continue to sleep. The feeling is not that of drowsiness, but that I don't want to be awake.

But what happens when you are awake?

Does it make you feel uncomfortable when you are awake?

Lu Lin couldn't help but think of some legends and stories about some unlucky guy who had been cursed and would always feel tortured by things like pain or hunger, and could only escape by sleeping...

But if that's the case, you can't fall asleep just by relying on the power of the primary Gray Cloud Mushroom drug, right?

This medicine remembers that as long as you are pushed twice and patted on the face, you can wake up.

If you are really being tortured continuously, it may be impossible to fall asleep just by relying on this medicine.

Still can't figure it out.

"Forget it, let's get to work. Let's see if we can refine some samples today and show them to Sister Ajuan tomorrow."

With this in mind, Lu Lin was ready to start processing the materials.

However, as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lu Lin was stunned.

This seemed to be the first time someone knocked on his door after he came to this world.

After all, he actually lived quite far away from the town. Even if Tang Bo or Sister Amu came to see him for something, they would often not bother to come to his house, but would wait until he went to town before talking to him.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Lu Lin's nerves suddenly became tense. He put his right hand involuntarily into his arms, holding a bottle of medicine tightly, and then tiptoed toward the door.

However, just when Lu Lin wanted to get close to the door and look out, the old wooden door was kicked into several pieces of wood.

Lu Lin subconsciously raised his left hand to block the wood chips, but as soon as he raised his hand, his wrist was grabbed directly by someone, and then a huge force came and pulled Lu Lin up.

Lu Lin felt as if he was flying, his eyes blurred, and when he regained consciousness, he had fallen heavily to the dirt outside the door.

His right shoulder landed on the ground, and his shoulders, arms and sides were all sore from the fall. The pain made him shrink up for a moment.

Lu Lin gritted his teeth and wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, but someone stepped on the side of his face. His head was immediately stamped on the ground, unable to move.

Then, a deep male voice came from above.

"Go! Go in and search for me!"

Then, Lu Lin saw a strong man from the Earth Spirit Tribe rushing straight into his hut, and behind him, there was a conspicuous black volute symbol.

Lu Lin instantly understood what was going on.

Daiber, isn't he from the Black Snail Gang?

Did this group of people find out that he did it?

But... how?

He had clearly inquired about it when he went to the town before. Everyone in the town said that Debel's diagnosis that day was a sudden heart attack. The people from the Black Snail Gang went to the tavern and didn't go into details. No matter how they thought, he shouldn't be cursed. Just expose it.

And even if someone noticed something was wrong about the cause of Debel's death, he had been hiding for long enough. How could he be targeted just by going to town?

How did these people come to suspect him?

Isn't it right that when I came into contact with Debel that day, it hardly attracted anyone else's attention?

Which link went wrong?

No, that's not right, now is not the time to think about this. Now that we have been approached, the next thing to consider is how to break the situation.
