Li Nuo slowly panned the telescope, moved the lens away from the leader of the convoy, and scanned the convoy heading straight for him.
"There are nearly forty four-wheeled motorcycles, with one or two people sitting on each vehicle, and everyone is carrying a firearm. In other words, if they have evil intentions, I need to face sixty to eighty enemies. This There is also an Extraordinary among them that requires a full 10,000 energy points to completely deconstruct."
Li Nuo put down the telescope and glanced around.
There were 15 corpses near him, 10 of which belonged to scavengers and 5 of which belonged to fishermen. They could barely make up a team of walking corpses.
Using "Death Spell" combined with "Magic Shield" and "Fear Spell" should be able to kill the ordinary people in that convoy.
But how to deal with the big boss in the team?
"Caster Form: Death Incarnate" is still on cooldown and will not be available for use for another four days or so.
Li Nuo thought about it and felt that things were a bit tricky.
The safest way to deal with this is undoubtedly to get on a four-wheeled motorcycle and drive away before you are within the range of the opponent's firearms.
At that time, if the team wants to intercept him, it will have to separate into several teams and double-team him from different directions.
Li Nuo can't defeat the big boss in the team, but if he wants to completely destroy the opponent's team and then implement a breakout, it should be no problem.
With this thought, Li Nuo got on the motorcycle, turned the key and started the engine.
Suddenly there were whistles and loud shouts from the motorcade.
"Chirp~~"
"Hey! Brother! We are from the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company! We are not scavengers!"
Li Nuo squinted and looked over. Someone in the other team's team had erected a flag and was waving it towards him.
There was a "Spike Shield" pattern on the flag, as well as the words "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".
Li Nuo picked up the telescope again, observed the details of the convoy, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party.
It was indeed a fleet of security company vehicles.
Upon closer inspection, these people were dressed in a relatively uniform manner, with black jackets on their upper bodies and a slightly more casual lower body, wearing everything.
On the front of the black jacket, on the left chest, there is a "Spike Shield" pattern, which is the logo of "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".
In addition, there are no "skulls" or "heads" on their motorcycles that are related to bloody horror.
Overall, they appear to be more respectable and civilized than the scavengers.
Li Nuo called up the scavenger's memory and retrieved content related to the "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".
After reading it as quickly as possible, he turned off the engine and parked the car, choosing to wait for the convoy where he was.
When the leader of the convoy saw that Li Nuo was parked in place and did not drive away, he turned his head and waved to the team members behind him, asking them to put down their firearms.
The two sides established initial trust while testing each other, and an unexpected conflict was resolved.
The motorcade stopped in front of Li Nuo.
Some team members entered the camp and cleaned the scene.
Another group of team members were on guard with guns, watching the surrounding grass and gentle slopes with vigilance.
The leader of the team has a dark brown short hair, stiff facial lines and a straight nose.
If the clothes on his body were replaced by the uniform of the Imperial Army, he would look like a standard Imperial sergeant.
But now he was wearing baggy jeans, a thick plaid shirt and a black jacket.
He also walked with a swagger and his movements were very casual.
This was the first time Li Nuo discovered that the rigidity and dogma of men in the empire were not unchangeable.
Put an Imperial man in a place like the Fission Wilds, and he will become undisciplined and casual.
After the team leader got out of the car, he came straight to Li Nuo.
He put his hands on his hips, looked Li Nuo up and down, and then asked in imperial language:
"Man, you've just been in the Fission Wilderness not long ago, right?"
As the saying goes, it is essential to be on guard against others.
When Li Nuo was resting in the camp, he put on bloody local clothes and covered his face with sunglasses and a face towel.
He rolled up the replaced Tatis Empire military uniforms and cloaks and stuffed them into his backpack, just waiting for an opportunity to burn them clean with a fire.
When he heard that the leader of the motorcade revealed his identity, Li Nuo knew that it was the color of his skin exposed in the gap in the face mask that betrayed him...
"Well, yes. I just came here a few days ago." Li Nuo said calmly.
The language he spoke was the native language of the Golden Commonwealth.
The team leader raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"It hasn't been long since you arrived and you can speak so fluently?...Forget it, let's not talk about this. Every Imperial person who comes here from the Empire has his or her own difficulties. Since you are here, let everything go Let’s start over.”
The team leader shook his hand and stopped asking about Li Nuo's origins.
He stretched out his right hand and said:
"I am Conte, the armed captain of the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company, a first-level alchemist, with sixty or seventy brothers under my command. About eight years ago, I came to this place on a cargo ship.
"I know very well how uncomfortable it is to live in an unfamiliar place. If you can trust me, just go with my convoy. When you get to Gathering City and find a job to make a living, you can pay back the security fees along the way.
"Of course, if you are worried that this is a trap or a trap, I can understand it. After all, that's what I thought at the time."
Li Nuo pondered for a moment, stretched out his right hand and shook it:
"I won't talk about my previous identity. In short, my life was very unsatisfactory. Now I just want to start a new life. Just call me Li Lei."
Conte didn't care about the vigilance in Li Nuo's words.
He raised his hand and waved at the camp full of corpses and blood:
"Can you tell me what happened here? Li Lei. This fisherman's camp is protected by the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company. Although I am not the person in charge of the security affairs of the camp, and I am not directed at the fishermen who were killed. Yes, but as an armed captain employed by Iron Thorn Shield, I think it would be more reassuring to ask someone about the situation when passing by. Can you give me the answer?"
"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be said. As you can see, the fishermen here are all dead. The ones who killed them were scavengers. I happened to be short of food, drink, and transportation tools, so I just scavenged these scavengers. All have been killed."
Li Nuo's tone remained calm, as if killing a few gangsters was as simple as squeezing a few ants to death.
Kante looked at the wheel and dagger on Li Nuo's waist, rubbed his chin and recalled:
"Well... we rushed here as soon as we heard the gunfire, and we only saw you alive from the beginning to the end. You are indeed the only one who can kill the scavengers at the scene."
Conte raised his hand to hold his head, scratched the top of his head twice, glanced at the scavengers who had been hit in the forehead, and sighed:
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... You killed six scavengers with a revolver. Another person had his throat slit. This must have been done by you, right? I really didn't expect that... I left the empire After all these years, the young people in the empire have become so powerful.”
Conte clapped his hands and took out a business card from his pocket:
"Here, take it. This is my business card. If you want to find a job to make a living, you can consider our Iron Thorn Shield Security Company."
Li Nuo took the business card, glanced at the words on the paper and asked:
"Are you very short of manpower? You actually dare to ask for me, an imperial citizen who smuggled here."
Conte put his hands on his hips and shrugged:
"You just came here, so you may not know the situation. This place is much more dangerous than in the Empire. The most abundant thing in the Fission Wilderness is people, and the most lacking thing is people. There are gunfights and fights wherever you go. Security guards like me Captain, the biggest headache is not fighting, but recruiting people. Not to mention stowaways like you, even wanted criminals and criminals in the empire, the company dares to take them. After all, they are all paid to sell their lives, and the company pays We just need to work hard for money, we don’t have to worry about it so much.”
Li Nuo glanced at the corpses of scavengers and fishermen, "Yes, I have already felt the 'enthusiasm' of the Fission Wilderness. The flow of people here is really not that big... But, I'm sorry, Conte , I didn’t even get the ID card, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to enter the city.”
Li Nuo said this because he wanted to avoid revealing that he could simply change his appearance and body shape, not because he really couldn't enter the city.
"Oh, this is a small problem. Iron Thorn Shield's business is quite broad."
Conte spread his hands:
"If you are interested in joining, it will not be a problem to get you a clean ID card. You can just ask my guys. This is the most basic treatment for Iron Thorn Shield."
"Are you sure?" Li Nuo was slightly surprised.
"Of course. But you also have to know that this comes at a price. A clean identity card requires at least one hundred thousand aggregate coins to get. If you accept this card, you must pay back the one hundred thousand before you can leave. As for After you return, it is up to you to decide whether you plan to continue to stay in Ironthorn Shield or to develop in other companies or gangs..."
Li Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly discovered that the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company was somewhat capable.
In the scavenger's memory, one hundred thousand aggregate coins can only buy an identity card with a penalty record on the black market.
This kind of card is called a bad card.
People with bad cards can only move within a small specified area, and their consumption and accommodation will be restricted.
If you hold a clean ID card, you won't have this problem, and you can travel unimpeded in the Lower City area of Convergence City.
On the black market, clean ID cards have a price but no market, and almost no one sells them.
It seems that only security companies like Iron Thorn Shield have stable channels to obtain clean identity cards.
Li Nuo originally planned to go to the black market to buy a better bad card for free.
But now that the opportunity to get a clean ID card has appeared, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Li Nuo thought for a while and asked:
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with a clean identity card, Conte? How are you sure that I can pay back the one hundred thousand?"
"Good question. To tell you the truth, we have indeed encountered the situation you mentioned before. Some guys were blind and took our ID cards and ran away. Although they were all caught in the end, they still caused a stir. It’s not a small trouble. For this reason, we, Iron Thorn Shield, will adopt an employment contract protected by the Alchemy Temple to protect our rights and interests. When you arrive at the company, you will be able to see that contract."
Conte snapped his fingers:
"As for how I can make sure you can pay back the one hundred thousand, I have a suggestion. We happen to be performing a security mission right now, so you can treat it as your probation period. As long as you cooperate in the following time, Once I complete this mission, I will consider you to have passed my inspection.
"You must be wondering whether it will have a negative impact on the mission if I ask you as a stranger to participate in the mission. For example, you may attract enemies, or you may simply be a spy for a rival gang. If you have this question, it only means that you Overthinking. I don’t think a person who can stand up and shoot a scavenger would be a lackey of a gang.”
Li Nuo put the business card away and nodded slightly:
"Okay, Conte, I have no objection. Let's start with this security mission... If Iron Thorn Shield can really provide me with a flawless identity card, then I think working for Iron Thorn Shield can make up for ten dollars." Wan is also pretty good.”
"Okay, it's settled." Conte grinned:
"After this mission is completed, you will still be given the reward, but as you know, the reward during the probation period will definitely be smaller. The specific amount cannot be confirmed until the mission is over... Do you have any questions? ?"
"No, no more." Li Nuo shook his head and had no objection to Conte's arrangement.
"That's good." Conte turned his head and urged the team members on the scene to speed up:
"Guys, work harder, we can't stay here too long."
"Okay, head."
"Yes, head."
Conte's men responded to the captain's call one after another, and the camp suddenly became lively.
Li Nuo looked at this scene with clear division of labor, and his impression of Iron Thorn Shield became higher in his heart.
Compared to gang members who bully the weak and kill innocent people indiscriminately, Li Nuo prefers security companies like Iron Thorn Shield.
Before you are completely familiar with the Fission Wilderness, it may be a good choice to stay in the Ironthorn Shield Security Company.
Once your knowledge and strength are enough to support your solo career, it's not too late to consider leaving.
Anyway, things are different now. He has many spells at his disposal. As long as he wants to leave, he will definitely find a way.
Li Nuo nodded secretly, choosing to temporarily join the Iron Thorn Shield should be the right choice.
…
After about five minutes, all the bodies and supplies in the camp were sorted.
Conte wrote a note before leaving and relayed what happened to the Iron Thorn Shield security team patrolling the area.
After that, he waved his hand and called the team members to get on the bus, leaving all the motorcycles and supplies of the scavengers to the patrolling security team.
Li Nuo's motorcycle was the one he took from the scavengers.
After a little practice, he started driving in a decent manner, following the slender convoy, heading northwest.
The wheels ran over the grass, leaving two tracks on the green ground.
While controlling the faucet, Li Nuo looked towards the front of the motorcade, his eyes falling on Conte's back.
There was a strange look in his eyes covered by sunglasses.
Very strange.
very strange.
This Counter looks just like an ordinary person, with no head or six arms, and no glowing eyes or hair. But why does he consume so much energy?
Ten thousand energy points, this consumption is ten times as much as that of the Ensign of the Deconstructed Empire.
Could it be that Kante is a powerful extraordinary person pretending to be an ordinary person?
Or maybe deconstructing the Alchemist consumes more energy than deconstructing the "Imperial Fist"? Just like deconstructing the wizard.
Li Nuo has only met this one alchemist so far. He is not sure what the key to the problem is. He can only temporarily attribute the reason to the fact that alchemists also need to master a lot of theoretical knowledge.
…
[System message: You drove a "simple four-wheel motorcycle" for three hours continuously and unlocked the new passive skill "Vehicle Controlling". The current level is level 1. 】
Li Nuo glanced at the news in his mind, rubbed his numb legs and stepped off the motorcycle, letting out a long sigh of relief.
After driving slowly and hurriedly all the way, Conte's convoy finally arrived at the mission location.
Li Nuo's buttocks and thighs finally got a chance to rest.
This is a valley full of forests, with gorgeous wild flowers and lively animals.
There is also a clear stream flowing out from the depths of the valley and converging into a small lake near the motorcade.
If this place is circled and a toll station is set up, it can be used as a tourist attraction to earn ticket fees.
Of course, this is what Li Nuo did in the world before he traveled through time.
Here in the Golden Federation, places with beautiful scenery like this are basically occupied by various extraordinary forces.
Li Nuo inquired with the accompanying team members.
The valley in front of us is called Jishui Valley.
The entire Jishui Valley is the property of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.
All the mountain spring water produced in the valley is also taken over by the Gold Chamber of Commerce.
The task of Kante's team here is to escort high-quality mountain spring water to Gathering City.
Don’t think that “high-quality mountain spring water” is a bargain.
If this mountain spring water was very cheap, the Gold Chamber of Commerce would not hire a security team of sixty or seventy people to escort it.
In fact, the mountain spring water produced here is an important raw material for the alchemy workshops in the city to make high-end alchemical potions.
Referring to the memories before and after the journey, Li Nuo thought that there would be several cars filled with buckets coming out of the valley.
But he soon discovered that he had made a mistake.
Coming out of the valley was an alchemist.
He was wearing khaki overalls and a work top, and wore glasses with thick lenses on the bridge of his nose. The black hair on his head was unkempt and looked a little slovenly.
The feedback information from the deconstruction technique shows that this person, like Conte, needs to consume 10,000 points of energy to deconstruct 100%.
There is indeed a clear difference between the extraordinary and the extraordinary.
The first level "Imperial Fist" can be completely deconstructed with only one thousand energy points.
Alchemists and wizards improve on this basis by tenfold.
This is a common phenomenon, not an exception.
Just when Li Nuo was thinking about why this phenomenon occurred, the alchemist in overalls pulled out a pendant from under his collar.
A bright but gentle white light flowed from the oval stone on the pendant, attracting Li Nuo's attention.
All teammates, including Li Nuo, focused their attention on that eye-catching stone.
This must be the alchemy stone... Li Nuo stared at the stone emitting white light and threw the deconstruction spell.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "alchemy stone of unknown effect". 】
[It is estimated that 9,000 energy points will be consumed to reach 100% completeness of deconstruction. 】
The alchemist's alchemy stone is made by the alchemist himself, and only the alchemist himself can use it.
In the common sense of alchemy, the alchemist and the alchemical stone are inseparable.
Deconstructing the Alchemy Stone requires nine thousand energy points...
Deconstructing the Alchemist requires 10,000 energy points...
So, just deconstructing the alchemist himself would only require a thousand energy points, right?
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, locked his gaze on the alchemist in overalls, and threw the Deconstruction Technique at him alone.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary with an unknown name". 】
[It is estimated that 10,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】
Li Nuo frowned slightly, changed his angle, and threw the deconstruction technique at the man in overalls.
But no matter how he tried, the prompt message fed back by the system was the same.
The answer is clear.
Li Nuo can deconstruct the Alchemist Stone alone, but cannot deconstruct the Alchemist alone.
It's like the alchemy stone is the essence of the alchemist.
It really echoes the saying widely circulated in the Golden Federation:
An alchemist's entire ability lies in the alchemy stone.
Li Nuo was a little curious about the secret of the alchemy stone.
He brought up his personal panel and looked at his energy inventory.
…
[Energy value] 21162/16 points
…
Theoretically speaking, he invested less than half of his energy to completely deconstruct the alchemy stone.
But when he thought that this knowledge could be found in Gathering City, or obtained by attacking the alchemy stone, he felt that it was not worth it.
Only when the cost of mastering alchemy through fighting and learning is higher than using energy to deconstruct the alchemy stone, will Li Nuo consider using deconstruction to learn the secret of the alchemy stone.
Otherwise, it will become a losing business.
Li Nuo thought for a moment and decided to suppress his curiosity for the time being and arrive at Gathering City first.
He looked up at Conte and the man in overalls, just in time to see the man in overalls grab a handful of hazy light balls from the glowing oval stone.
The man in overalls put his palms upward and placed the light ball in his palms.
The light of the light group shrinks inward, forming a transparent glass container.
The glass container is filled with clear mountain spring water.
The scale mark on the container shows that three thousand liters of mountain spring water are stored in such a palm-sized container.
Li Nuo looked at the scale mark carefully and made sure that he had read it correctly. It was indeed "three thousand liters".
Therefore, the alchemy stone can be used as a space pocket to a certain extent... Li Nuo nodded in thought.
"Kant, I've packed the spring water a long time ago...Why are you so late?" The man in overalls asked while showing the transparent container in his hand.
Conte carefully checked the liquid content in the container and said:
"Forget it, Fals. We met a group of scavengers on the road. Those damn maggots destroyed our place and killed five fishermen. When we return to the city, the company will definitely go Let’s settle the score with their gang.”
Conte confirmed that the amount of liquid in the container was correct.
He stood up straight and glanced at the glow in the sky:
"Now that everything is ready, let's set off. If we move quickly, we should be able to return to Gathering City before midnight... Everyone, get in the car!"
Conte said to the young people around him:
"Mark, please make room for Fals. Go sit with Li Lei and introduce him to Convergence City."
Fars is the alchemist responsible for filling the water.
Mark is the deputy captain of the security team. He is a native of Gathering City. He has dark skin, a slender figure, well-proportioned muscles, and short braided hair. He looks very energetic.
After receiving Conte's order, he nodded, turned around and ran away:
"Okay, Captain, it just so happens that I also want to hear the story of the empire."
"You brat, if people don't want to tell you, don't ask any more questions." Conte warned Mark's back.
Mark waved his hand behind him, "I know, head, I have a sense of proportion."
Looking at the vice-captain running towards him, Li Nuo moved his butt twice to free up the driver's seat.
"Hello, Mark. You drive the motorcycle. I'm not sure I can control the direction well with a person."
"No problem, leave it to me. Your Federation language is really good. Did you learn it by yourself before leaving the Empire?"
Mark sat down in the front seat, skillfully started the motorcycle and followed the convoy out of the valley.
Facing the familiar vice-captain, Li Nuo shrugged slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Now that I'm ready to leave the empire, I have to make some preparations, don't I... Having said that, Mark, what happened to the transparent container in Fars' hand just now? Did I make a mistake? Why can that thing be contained? Three thousand liters of mountain spring water?”
As soon as Mark heard Li Nuo's question, he immediately became excited.
He raised his arms and waved, howling longingly.
"This is the power of alchemy!"
The team members in front and behind him cast calm glances at him, as if they were used to the vice-captain getting excited whenever he mentioned "alchemy"...
Mark held down the motorcycle faucet, stared at the ground in front of him, and told Li Nuo a lot about alchemy. His words were filled with love for alchemy.
Li Nuo originally thought that the common sense he was talking about should be similar to the knowledge in the scavenger's memory.
But as the content gradually unfolded, Li Nuo's eyes became more hopeful and appreciative.
Alchemists, a group of extraordinary people, are indeed extraordinary people who are based on alchemical theory and alchemical experiments.
Their understanding of "spirit" is completely different from that of the Necronomicon Cult.
The Necromancers are a group of the dead whose bodies rot and their souls live forever.
They seek relief from the memory of suffering in order to improve their "spiritual" attributes, and then cooperate with war and spiritual hubs to collect large amounts of soul fragments to increase soul strength.
Not so with the Alchemist.
they think:
If you want to improve things that have no substance, such as spirit and soul, you must first transform them into entities, and then indirectly improve the spirit and soul by transforming the entities.
The "entity" mentioned here is the "alchemy stone" that every alchemist has.
The main material of the alchemy stone is the alchemist's own spirit and soul.
Through a special soul transposition ritual, they transformed the invisible and intangible spirit and soul into an alchemy stone that can be held in their hands.
In the language of gamification:
The alchemy stone is the concrete product of the two attributes of "spirit" and "soul strength".
Improve the quality of alchemy stones with better alchemical materials.
Use alchemical runes to add special effects to alchemy stones.
Use more powerful alchemical formulas to transform regular alchemy stones into unique alchemy stones.
The above operations can improve the two attributes of "Spirit" and "Soul Strength", and allow the alchemist to have corresponding extraordinary abilities.
This is the secret of the extraordinary power that alchemists can master.
For example, Fars, who is responsible for extracting and filling mountain spring water, only after adding the "water pumping rune" and "water storage rune" to his alchemy stone did he have the extraordinary ability to transport a large amount of mountain spring water at once. ability.
This extraordinary ability, which seems harmless to humans and animals, is actually offensive.
Combined with the "Acid Resistance Rune" and the "Spray Rune", Fars can store acidic liquid in advance and spray acidic water with an acidic effect on the enemy during battle.
The higher the level of the rune, the better the etching effect of acid water. The farther the acid water is sprayed, the more significant the attack effect of Fals.
This improvement in strength comes from more efficient combination of alchemical runes.
It can be said that there are no rubbish alchemy runes, only alchemists who are so rubbish that they cannot match the alchemy runes.
As long as you are smart enough and willing to study, any alchemical rune can shine in a certain field.
The key to all this is how to have your own alchemy stone.
Mark spoke eloquently on this topic:
“In the entire Golden Federation, only the Alchemy Temple has mastered the soul transposition ritual.
"The Alchemy Temple will issue a certain number of ritual quotas to each city every year, allowing qualified people in each city to become alchemists."
"For example, in our Gathering City, there are more than 300 places every year. More than 70% of the places are occupied by the Alchemy Academy in the upper city, and are usually used for alchemy apprentices who have passed the entrance examination. The remaining 30% are in various universities. In the hands of extraordinary forces.
"If you have saved one million aggregate coins and passed the self-taught alchemy test at the Alchemy Academy, you can purchase a ritual quota from the Iron Thorn Shield. The financial owner behind our Iron Thorn Shield is the Gold Chamber of Commerce, and every year you can get at least to 20 places.
"A lot of people are fighting to see if they have the ability to become alchemists, but only one or two people can pass the exam every year and get a spot in the Gold Chamber of Commerce."
Li Nuo repeated the numbers:
"One million...you just said that one million aggregate coins are needed to purchase a place for the ceremony? Doesn't it mean that you have to work in a security company for a long time to get the money?"
"No, no, no, Li Lei." Mark shook his head repeatedly:
"The bulk of our income is not the basic salary, but the mission remuneration. Just like this mission. If we send Fars and the three thousand liters of mountain spring water to the alchemy workshop safely, then each of us can get a share Eight thousand to ten thousand aggregate coins. If you encounter a robber on the road, you can exchange a lot of money for the trophies from defeating the robber. A conservative estimate is that this mission is worth half a month's salary."
"Oh, that's pretty good." Li Nuo nodded.
"But, although many people can earn one million aggregate coins, most of them can't keep the money, or they don't even think about becoming an alchemist." Mark shook his head and sighed.
"Why is this?" Li Nuo took on the role of admiration at the right time.
"They know that they cannot pass the self-study alchemy test, so they will use the money to live and drink, or buy a house, find a woman, and when they make enough money in a security company, they will transfer to a safer company. Have an ordinary day."
Mark sighed and shook his head:
"I don't think I can pass the self-study alchemy exam, but I still plan to give it a try. If I fail the exam the first time, I will take it again. If I fail it twice, then I can only admit defeat and take it with peace of mind. Use the money you save to buy a house, and then look for an honest and beautiful woman."
Having said this, Mark swallowed...
It seems that at his age, women are indeed quite attractive...
Li Nuo was not very interested in women, but he really wanted to know about the so-called "alchemy test".
He couldn't help but ask:
"What is so difficult about this self-taught alchemy test?"
"It is said to be an alchemy test for self-taught students, but in fact the difficulty is exactly the same as the entrance exam. The questions are large, difficult, and the knowledge points are overwhelming. There are also many guessing questions and text experimental questions that do not have standard answers."
When Mark thought of book knowledge, his face suddenly grew long:
"The pile of alchemy books that require memorization alone is as tall as half a person. I have only read the most superficial ones... I really don't know how Captain passed the exam in the first place."
"Well, it seems that passing the self-taught alchemy exam is not something that happens overnight."
He said this, but Li Nuo's eyes were flashing.
Once upon a time, he had judged that deconstructing the core system was not suitable for combat and preferred theoretical research.
He also regretted why he didn't have such a system before he traveled through time, otherwise he would definitely have won the national examination championship.
Now, here's your chance to prove you're a top student.
The alchemy exam, which focused on the accumulation of knowledge, was tailor-made for him.
"Mark, could you lend me a book on alchemy? I want to test whether I have any talent in this area. If I need to pay, that's no problem."
Mark shook his head and said:
"You don't need money, Li Lei. When you get to Gathering City, I will take you to a hotel to stay. Then you can come to my place and borrow any book you want. I would recommend you to read "Gold" I started reading "A Brief History of Federal Alchemy" and the content in this book is quite interesting... Actually, there is another way to become an alchemist."
"What?" Li Nuo blinked.
"That is to explore the ruins of the Midas Dynasty. If you can find precious alchemy drawings, sage manuscripts, sage particles and the like, the Alchemy Temple will directly reward you with a set of alchemy weapons to help you become an alchemist.
"Look at our captain, he is obviously not a scholar. He just got lucky and accidentally discovered the ancient alchemist's manuscript, so he became an alchemist...Eh? Wait, wait! "
Mark was bragging when he suddenly stopped talking, picked up the telescope, and looked at the horizon in the distance.
The setting sun is about to disappear under the earth, and the remaining sun in the sky is like blood. People and objects in the distance appear in the field of vision in the form of black silhouettes.
Li Nuo followed Mark's line of sight, narrowed his eyes, and threw the deconstruction technique at the black distant point wriggling on the horizon.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary with an unknown name"...]
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "heavily armed scavenger"...]
An enemy is coming this way... Li Nuo immediately understood the current situation.
The Extraordinary person marked by the system as "unknown name" should also be an alchemist.
Mark had no system and could only rely on telescopes and naked eyes to observe distant situations.
Although Counter and Fars are alchemists, they probably don't have the extraordinary ability to conduct long-distance detection.
Like Mark, they watched with binoculars for a few minutes. They waited until the opponent's convoy became large enough in the field of vision, and then realized that the intruder was evil.
"Attention! A convoy with unknown intentions appears at 11 o'clock!" Conte shouted to the team members behind him:
"Everyone checks the weapons and equipment, puts on helmets and bulletproof masks, loads the bullets, and is ready to fight!"
Mark handed the binoculars to Li Nuo, while he controlled the motorcycle and checked the firearms and ammunition.
Li Nuo held up the telescope and observed for a while and then asked:
"Mark, I seem to see a 'wolf-dog with a human face' pattern on the flag. Which gang is this?"
"It's the Bulldog Gang!" Mark paused, then shouted forward:
"Captain, Li Lei saw the pattern on the flag. Those guys should be armed scavengers from the Bulldog Gang!"
Conte looked back at Li Nuo, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, as if he had suddenly guessed part of Li Nuo's true identity.
Li Nuo nodded calmly. He knew what Conte was thinking, and he did it on purpose.
At this moment when the setting sun is about to sink completely into the ground, there is a dim light environment all around.
What kind of Imperial man would see better than others in this low intensity of light?
That's right, he was an Imperial sergeant who had been injected with the Imperial Army's strengthening potion.
To be precise, it was the "low-light vision" brought about by injecting the enhanced medicine, which helped the imperial soldiers distinguish people and objects in low-light environments.
After absorbing some of the memories of Kai'Sa and Greensau, Li Nuo weaved a reasonable imperial identity for himself.
Deliberately appearing visually unique was the first step in establishing a false identity.
Kante withdrew his gaze from Li Nuo and shouted loudly:
"...Everyone put up the bulletproof panels on your motorcycles, and pay more attention to your surroundings. Don't get caught by the wolfdogs of the Bulldog Gang! Those sons of bitches like to bite people with their hungry wolfdogs!"
Mark plucked the bullet chamber, rotated it to load, reached out and pulled on the motorcycle chassis, and erected metal bulletproof plates that served as bunkers on both sides of the motorcycle.
He smiled at Li Nuo, revealing two rows of teeth that sparkled in the sunset:
"That group of people are probably scavengers from the Bulldog Gang. They mistook us for an ordinary traveling convoy. This battle should be over soon. Because there are alchemists in our convoy, but not in theirs."
The corners of Li Nuo's mouth hidden under the scarf twitched slightly.
This Mark is good at everything.
Chatty, familiar, enthusiastic and straightforward.
I just like to plant flags for my own people and I need to get rid of this as soon as possible...
