Calling Gu Bei the God of Alchemy is just Hohenheim's unilateral idea. After all, Gu Bei himself does not think so.
Moreover, when he refined the snake rope, he did not use alchemy, but the magic machine.
It should be Gu Bei's first time using it after he reached perfection in the Hundred Refinements of Shenji. Compared with his previous experience, there doesn't seem to be much difference.
It's just that the refining speed is faster and the effect is better. Even if it is a second refining of an alchemy item that has been recognized as the "Snake Rope", the process is very smooth without any obstacles.
Overall, the ease of use has been improved to a higher level, but this is within the normal category. Whether it is Duanquanshou, Liuku Immortal Thief, or Julingsend General and Fenghouqimen, the experience of using it will be better after reaching perfection in practice. steps.
So Gu Bei didn't pay too much attention to this change.
Until he received a prompt from the system.
——
Your skills "Tongtian Lun" and "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements" have reached the extraordinary level. Please explore the next path on your own.
——
This is a tip I've never seen before.
To be honest, if it weren't for this prompt, Gu Bei would have thought that his system had collapsed.
After all, this guy was in trouble last time when he unlocked the prerequisite skills of Da Luo Cave View and Qi Ti Origin. The rest of the time, he was completely diving without any movement at all. Gu Bei even thought that the system was his. The time traveler imagined it.
And whenever Gu Bei thinks like this, the system will pop up to refresh his sense of presence, just like this time.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Let’s get back to the point, let’s continue talking about the system’s new prompts.
This tip is a new tip that I have never seen before.
The system used to have only two prompts. One was to notify Gu Bei that a certain skill was completed, and the other was to notify Gu Bei to acquire a new skill.
The new prompt should be classified as the former, but it is different because it accurately mentions a noun "unconventional realm".
The system's previous reminders about the completion of practice were all about the "perfect state". This is the first time that the so-called "unconventional state" appears.
The so-called breaking the rules, as the name suggests, means breaking through certain limitations.
In other words, the system reminded Gu Bei that Tongtianlu and Shenji Bailian had broken through certain limitations and no longer belonged to the category of strange arts or magical techniques.
The meaning of the phrase "the subsequent path will be explored on your own" probably means that the system can no longer provide any help to the growth of these two amazing skills.
But this is normal. Anyway, Gu Bei has never relied on the system's help from the beginning. The system's greatest help to his practice is to help him awaken the Eight Magic Skills from his body and materialize the experience of the Eight Magic Skills. .
As for the rest, it was all thanks to Gu Bei's own efforts to get where he is today.
But Gu Bei still didn't understand what the so-called "exception" meant?
"I don't understand it at all!"
New Year's Day, early morning.
After the New Year's Eve watch last night, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. For the first time in a long time, Eriki was not used as a pillow by Su Xiaoyan, but slept in the same room as Sakura.
What?
You asked why there were no cherry blossoms during the New Year's Eve celebration last night?
Because last night Sakura was hiding in her room talking on the phone with her young master.
But Gu Bei didn't sleep.
For his current physique, it makes no difference whether he sleeps or not. The same goes for eating. The so-called sleeping and eating are just to satisfy the interests of an "ordinary human being".
The reason why Gu Bei stayed up all night was because he spent all his time studying the evolved body, as well as the Divine Machine Bailian and Tongtian Ru which were evaluated as "exceptional" by the system.
And after studying for a whole night, the result is... there is no result at all.
The body of the weapon has changed a lot, and all the runes on the body have basically undergone a certain degree of deformation, some even
It's completely different from the original runes, but what's amazing is that the changed runes didn't affect the effect of the device at all, but were added to it.
From an effect point of view, the current amplification effect of the machine body can almost make Gu Bei and Fenrir compete in strength.
Although Fenrir is a mentally retarded person with a weak brain, as the king of the earth and mountains who holds the power of power, this guy has the greatest strength among the dragon kings, not to mention that he has hatched a dragon body in addition to a human body. Being able to compete with him shows that Gu Bei's power has reached the pinnacle of the entire Dragon King hierarchy.
Of course, it’s just a matter of trying.
Although he has reached the peak of brute strength, his use of physical strength is still far behind.
In addition to strength, speed and endurance have also been strengthened in all aspects, the most significant of which is defense.
Gu Bei's skin can withstand the power of swords under normal conditions, but after opening the weapon body, the strength of the surface of the body is even equivalent to some high-level magic weapons. It is a bit difficult to resist storm torpedoes, but it is still suitable to resist RPG. .
These increases surprised Gu Bei. He originally had to change at least seven or eight more versions before the weapon could reach this stage. Unexpectedly, it was just one evolution, and it actually skipped the intermediate steps and directly reached the complete body.
And this great progress, not surprisingly, should be the effect of those runes that Gu Bei had never seen before.
These runes are small and exquisite, some are just a very simple stroke, and some seem to be many runes mixed together. What's more important is that after they appeared on Gu Bei's body, they actually replaced many other runes. This leaves a lot of space in the originally full body, making it easier to add runes to it and further improve the functions of the body.
It can be said that these new runes all belong to Nanfu, and one section is stronger than six sections.
Gu Bei wanted to study it carefully, but found that as long as he focused on the runes for a moment, he would feel dizzy and unable to see clearly the path of the runes.
Gu Bei tried it several times and found that no matter which method he used, he could not observe the inside of the runes, even using the observation method, so he simply gave up and turned to study the "Shenji Bailian" and "Tongtianlu" "Exceptional realm".
However, after he changed the topic, he discovered that this problem was more difficult to solve because... there was no clue at all!
No matter how many times he used it, he didn't feel any big changes. Gu Bei even spent a whole night refining everything in the room into low-level magic weapons, but he still didn't find anything about the Divine Machine Hundred Refining. Special place.
The same goes for Tongtianlu.
This even made Gu Bei suspect that the unusual prompt from the system was the system's New Year's joke - if the system could really joke.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm so bored!!!"
Gu Bei shouted irritably.
First floor.
Lu Tianming, who was enjoying breakfast, heard this suspenseful roar and couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoyan beside him.
Su Xiaoyan, who rarely got up so early, was holding a steamed dumpling in her mouth. Feeling Lu Tianming's puzzled eyes, she also looked confused and turned to look at Chu Zihang opposite.
It was routine for Chu Zihang to get up so early. Even if he went to bed at six o'clock, he would get up at seven o'clock, not to mention that he went to bed just after twelve o'clock last night.
Chu Zihang took a sip of soy milk with a calm expression, accustomed to Gu Bei's madness.
Lu Tianming and Su Xiaoyan had never lived with Gu Bei, so they didn't know much about it. However, Chu Zihang had been roommates at Kassel College and Hubei for one semester, so he knew that Gu Bei must go crazy every day. On the chest.
Rather, if there was a day when Gu Bei didn't make a big fuss, he would wonder if something had happened.
"Don't worry, this is normal." Chu Zihang reassured his ignorant parents, his calm look looked very convincing.
Seeing what Chu Zihang said, Lu Tianming and Su Xiaoyan also relaxed and continued to deal with the delicious food in front of them.
Today's breakfast at Lujia is standard Chinese style - fried dough sticks, tofu and soy milk dumplings
, the chef of the Lu family is proficient in all kinds of meals, and Chinese food is just the beginning for him.
Both Eriki and Natsumi haven't gotten up yet. Eriki can't get up now because she and Sakura played online games until early in the morning last night, while Natsumi just stayed in bed as a habit.
In addition to the three people from the Lu family, Sakura was also dining in the restaurant.
Sakura is sitting here, not as Eriki's personal bodyguard and maid, but as a guest of the Shika family.
Lu Tianming didn't know that there was such a person in his family until this morning. When he heard that Yabuki Sakura was from the Snake Qihachi family and Eri was the little princess of the Snake Qihachi family, he was shocked. ...Okay, I'm not too surprised actually.
After all, Lu Tianming had no idea what the Sheqi Eight Family were.
Unlike Su Xiaoqiang's father, a mine boss who occasionally comes into contact with evil forces, Lu Tianming wakes up clean and tidy, and has to wake up several times a night... Sorry, I got involved.
Lu Tianming was a serious entrepreneur, and gangster organizations like the Sheqiba Family were completely outside his scope of knowledge.
If you talk to him about gangsters, he will probably talk about the Yamaguchi-gumi or Sumiyoshi-kai, but he has never even heard of the higher-up Jakiki Hachi family.
But it doesn't matter, Sakura has another theory.
"Actually, Miss Eri is the younger sister of Genji Heavy Industries Chairman Minamoto Chiaki."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Tianming was shocked.
He didn't know much about the Sheqihachi family, but he knew about Genji Heavy Industries. It was one of the top large companies in Japan, with operations all over the world. There were even some rumors that Genji Heavy Industries was involved in the military industry.
Although Lu Tianming is very confident in the Lu Group he built with his own hands, in the final analysis, the Lu Group is still relatively young, and compared to the Lu Group, Genji Heavy Industries is a behemoth.
By analogy, it is equivalent to...the difference between the global top 500 and the local top 500.
If you think about it this way, wouldn't Eri Yi's identity be that of a super rich lady? ?
But thinking of this, Lu Tianming suddenly remembered: "The tsunami caused by the typhoon some time ago must have had a great impact on Japan. I wonder if your chairman..."
"He's fine," Sakura said with a smile. "The Snake Qihachi family organized an emergency evacuation, so the young master only suffered a slight injury and is recovering from his injuries now."
Very good, Miss Sakura still doesn't know that her young master has merged with the Dragon King of the Fierce Ghosts (Zhen)!
"That's good."
Lu Tianming nodded, and then couldn't help but be curious and asked: "I heard Miss Ying keep talking about the Sheqiba Family just now. What kind of organization is the Sheqiba Family?"
Sakura thought for a while and explained: "The so-called Yamata no Orochi is a business alliance composed of eight families. These eight families respectively control the eight largest financial groups in Japan. The Yamata no Orochi is the symbol of the alliance, so it is called The eight families of Sheqi."
"I see."
Lu Tianming understood clearly on his face, but he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
I’ve never heard of the alliance of Japan’s eight largest consortiums, the Snakeki Eight Families… By the way, who are the eight largest consortiums in Japan? Genji in the heavy industry, Inuyama in the custom industry, Miyamoto in the construction industry, Sakurai in the trading industry, Uesugi in the entertainment industry... what else is there?
Oh, Uesugi, Eri seems to have the last name Uesugi. Could it be that she is from the Uesugi family?
Thinking like this, Lu Tianming also asked the question.
Sakura naturally follows the good example: "Miss Eriri is indeed a member of the Uesugi family. To be precise, she is the current head of the Uesugi family. Because the previous head of the Uesugi family passed away too early and had no other bloodline, Eri could only be Miss Yi will inherit the family business."
Uesugoshi who passed away too early:? ? ?
"Young Master is Miss Eriki's blood brother, so the property of Miss Eriki and the Uesugi family is now being taken care of by Young Master. Oh, by the way, the reason why I call the Chairman Young Master is because he He is the next president of the Sheqiba family."
After listening to Ying's explanation, Lu Tianming's whole body felt numb.
The sister of Chairman Genji, the future president of the Sheqi Hachi Family, the de facto owner of the Uesugi family, and a genius girl who is about to enter the school where Gu Bei and Chu Zihang attend, Eri Yi is full of buffs.
His own son could actually win over such a eldest lady... He is truly worthy of Gu Bei!
The old father was actually a little proud in his heart.
Even though I'm proud, I can't help but worry. Can such an excellent cabbage really be tethered by my own wild boar?
Although he is a godfather, Lu Tianming completely regards Gu Bei and Chu Zihang as his biological sons, so when he thinks that Gu Bei and Eryi may be separated in the future, Lu Tianming becomes worried.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast worried eyes on Su Xiaoyan.
Su Xiaoyan, who had finished her meal, felt the look in Lu Tianming's eyes. As a wife, she quickly understood his thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "Don't think so far, my dear, isn't it enough now?" Ok?"
Lu Tianming suddenly realized.
Yes, it’s very good now. He and his beautiful family, and their two sons have also found someone they like. They will be together in the future, or they may be separated. Whether they get married or grow old, this belongs to them. happiness.
but……
Lu Tianming suddenly remembered.
Since Eriki's identity is so outrageous, then Natsumi...
Sharp eyes fell on Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang didn't even raise his eyebrows: "Xia Mi is just an ordinary girl, and she has an older brother at home who is not very smart and has low intelligence."
Lu Tianming breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "That's good, that's good."
Upstairs, Xia Mi turned over after sleeping late, scratched his belly, and murmured: "Fenrir... Zihang..."
