In the third year, Mu You began to try to put aside those thoughts of quick success and really focus on the study of potions. He reopened the first notebook and started reading from the beginning.
This time, he no longer pursued progress, no longer made useless time calculations, and no longer limited himself to a seven-year time frame.
He figured it out. What he really needed was to learn Potions, not to complete the homework assigned by Vivian. So what if it took more than seven years? Anyway, he has unlimited time, so he can finish when he finishes studying.
Mu You no longer tortures himself. When he wants to rest, he closes his eyes and rests. When he has had enough rest, he gets up and continues reading.
And when he no longer regarded reading as a task, but wanted to learn from the bottom of his heart, he finally began to gradually feel the fun of potions, and slowly became immersed in it, even unable to extricate himself for a time.
After that, he continued to maintain this mentality of seeking knowledge. Only now, in his seventeenth year, did he finally finish reading the first seven notebooks.
Mu You stroked the seven notebooks, exhaled, stood up, and the barrier was automatically lifted.
He chose to stop, of course, not because he had completed the task and did not want to continue, but because he knew that after seventeen years, his mental fatigue had accumulated to an extreme, and if he continued, his efficiency would only decrease sharply. , there is no need to torture yourself deliberately.
Reaching out to catch the flying playing cards and putting them away, Mu You turned to look at the canary on the grass beside him.
"You seem to have changed a lot." Vivian looked up at him.
At this time, Mu You's appearance has not changed at all compared to seventeen years ago, but his eyes have become as calm as water, and his temperament has become much more reserved.
Mu You smiled and did not answer.
Yes, he has changed. His mentality has become calmer, his heart has become resolute, and he has developed sufficient patience.
But more importantly than these, his vision has changed! He no longer sits in a well and looks at the sky, and no longer regards himself as a small person. He knows what he really needs to pursue, and he also understands the scenery seen by top potion masters like Vivian. If he climbs to the highest peak, sooner or later he will have to go To the day when he is at the same height as her, or even surpasses her.
He looks forward to that day coming, but he will no longer be eager for quick success.
In the past seventeen years, the growth in mentality may be more important than the knowledge gained.
"good."
Vivian looked at him and gave a rare compliment, which even made Mu You a little stunned.
You must know that in the past seventeen years, Vivian has never praised him. Instead, she has ridiculed him with venomous tongues every day. The words Mu You heard the most were: 'Stupid', 'Too stupid', 'It's hard to learn XXX'. So slow', 'Isn't it a shame', 'I've never seen a student as stupid as you', 'Don't tell others you are my apprentice when you go out in the future', etc.
Mu Youting's ears were almost calloused. He was quite shocked at first, but later he was tempered to the point where he was completely immune.
Unexpectedly, at the end of his classes, Vivian did not have any harsh words about him "taking seventeen years to read seven books". Instead, she praised him, and there seemed to be a kind of... gratification in her tone. ?
"Today's homework is done, you can rest." Vivian changed the topic and said.
"rest?"
Mu You was a little funny, but also a little ashamed.
To be honest, he is not tired at all now, because in the barrier, he has enough sleep time. In fact, nearly half of these seventeen years have been spent lazying and messing around, otherwise It won't take as long as seventeen years.
On the contrary, Vivian, because she was not affected by time regression, accompanied him for seventeen years. During this period, she had been helping him time the time in obscurity. When the time was up, she used magic to press the pocket watch outside the barrier for him. To be honest, she was the one who never rested from beginning to end.
After finishing his homework, Mu You lay down on the grass. With nothing else to do for a while, he simply took out his phone and started "The Fool".
The game is online, still in the home of an elderly farmer.
It was only five o'clock in the morning, not yet breakfast time.
After going online, Mu You first took out the three new secret cards he had just obtained from the meeting: Dark Teleport, Light of Veto, and Summon Zombies.
They were engraved in the crystal one after another, replacing the original three secret techniques.
Then he decisively used a dark teleportation in the thatched cottage.
[You have arranged the dark teleportation array. After arranging the same array in other areas on the same plane, you can establish a connection and teleport to each other. Currently, we have a teleportation node: The Thatched Cottage at the Foot of Misty Mountain. 】
Mu You looked at the crystals carefully and found that this formation consumed very little, even one-tenth of the natural magic power was not used.
This was easy to handle. He planned to go back and build a teleportation array at the dwarf blacksmith's side and in the cabin in Anning Village, which would make traveling back and forth much more convenient in the future.
After building the magic circle, Mu You didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he clicked on the old lady's text and entered 'wine barrel' in the input box.
[You said you needed a wine barrel, and the old farmer asked you to look for it in the basement. There were many abandoned empty barrels there. 】
[You went to the basement and found a larger empty barrel, with some spoiled lees residue left in it. 】
[You take the barrel to the well in the courtyard of the thatched cottage, clean the barrel, and then fill it with well water. 】
[You have obtained a 'barrel filled with well water'. 】
After some operations, Muyou clicked on the wine barrel text.
A fat wooden barrel more than one meter high appeared in front of him. Mu You opened the cork on the top of the barrel and saw that it was indeed full of well water.
He specially prepared this wine barrel for the alcoholic blacksmith, because he would need to find a blacksmith to help him build a backpack and weapons.
However, the wine on the earth cannot be stored directly in the game, so you can only rely on well water mixed with wine to cause glitches.
Mu You immediately went out, ran to a nearby supermarket, found the import counter, and bought a box of vodka with a concentration of 96 degrees, known as 'water of life'.
After returning home, Mu You started mixing wine.
Half a bucket of well water + a small half bucket of vodka = well water mixed with an unknown liquid.
The wine was so strong that even after dilution it was still forty or fifty degrees. After the blending was completed, Mu You took a spoonful and tasted it.
"emmm..."
It can only be said that the taste is very strange. Anyway, Mu You didn't taste the aroma of the wine. Instead, it felt spicy and choking, with a bitter taste of water. I don't know if the alcoholic dwarf would like this flavor...
"No matter, let's try again..."
Mu You sealed the wine barrel and sent it into the game.
[You have obtained 'a barrel of well water mixed with an unknown liquid'. 】
[You ride on the donkey and set off, rushing to the foot of Nanshan Mountain. On the way, expected to arrive in half an hour...]
As usual, there was another half-hour waiting time. Mu You planned to take the opportunity to go out and buy some breakfast, but before he could walk away, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.
[You are on your way, and an 'unknown person' suddenly jumps out from the roadside and launches a sneak attack on you! 】
[You easily counter-killed the unknown person (level 1), your life span is +1, your experience value is +1, and your remaining life span is 132 years. 】
Um? ? ?
Mu You was stunned. He had not been attacked for a long time since he left Anning Village.
Unknown person? Level one?
Could this be a new player who hasn't gotten a skin yet...
Muyou thought for a while, yes, today is the day of large-scale internal testing of the game. With the influx of 10 million new players, there must be many more players near him, but he didn't expect to meet them in the game so soon.
Mu You didn't care. He was now at level seven. He had filled up the ten points of free attributes from the old lady's rice porridge in the past few days. Adding the three free points before, he was able to allocate two more rounds of attributes.
His current attributes are: 10 points of strength, 20 points of agility, 30 points of intelligence, 7 points of constitution, and 1 point of free attributes left.
This kind of panel, for newcomers whose attributes are still hovering around 1 point, is a gap that can be crushed with one finger.
So Mu You didn't care after just one glance and continued on his way.
As a result, within ten minutes of walking, two more prompts popped up.
[An 'unknown person' launched a sneak attack on you! 】
[You easily killed the unknown person (level 1), your life span is +1, your experience value is +1, and your remaining life span is 133 years. 】
…
[You encounter another 'unknown person' on the roadside, and he attacks you with a knife! 】
[You easily counter-killed the unknown person (level 1), your life span is +1, your experience value is +1, and your remaining life span is 134 years. 】
…
"No, are all these newcomers so aggressive?"
The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched, and she thought to herself that these newcomers shouldn't just see him riding a donkey and regard him as an NPC who can be bullied casually, right? One by one they jumped out to die.
At this time, Mu You really felt the impact of the large-scale closed beta: the players had indeed become denser. It was said that after walking for a while, he encountered three in a row. More importantly, he actually encountered a herb in the middle. Not a single wild monster was encountered!
It can be seen that the competition for resources is rapidly becoming fierce.
Having said that, this is still a closed beta test after all. Only 10 million players have been added, and the feeling is already so obvious. When it comes to the actual open beta test, billions of people will pour in together, and the opposite star spirit world will be crowded on the spot?
