Chapter 34 Born to refine poison·Part 2
"In every class from now on, I will make a compound toxin and let you identify it.
“This is to lay the foundation for you to explore unknown compound toxins in the future.
"Whoever can make no mistakes in the identification process for four consecutive months, and whose identification results are generally correct for four consecutive months, I will send "The Aggregation of Toxins" to him.
"have you understood?"
Kulov said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the students in front of him.
"Yes, sir, we understand."
"Let's all go have dinner. You can make your own arrangements tonight. Finish studying "Alchemical Linguistics" early so that we can start the evening course."
Kulov waved his arms towards the door, found a book and lay down on the red soft sofa.
Xia Zuo and the others bowed down to thank them and left the poison alchemy area.
…
In the castle hall, Xia Zuo said goodbye to Ma Sen and Brandon for a while, and walked to the restaurant alone.
"Xia Zuo."
Anruer jumped out from behind a stone pillar and took a few steps to catch up with the other party, "Do you have classes tonight?"
"No...huh?"
As soon as Xia Zuo finished speaking, a letter floated from a distance and fell into his hand.
There was a simple line above. Kulov asked him to arrive at the poison alchemy area before 6:10 pm.
"There are classes in the evening. The instructor asked me to come over after dinner."
Xia Zuo put the letter away and gave up his original plan to go to the library to read.
"Hmm~ Okay, then I will memorize "Alchemical Linguistics" by myself."
"What are you doing in your first oil alchemy class?" Xia Zuo asked, and the two of them walked to the restaurant.
"Professor Zhuolang prepared a wooden box for each of us, with 30 glass bottles inside. We have to use our sense of smell to identify the contents of the bottles."
Anruer jumped happily and said with a smile:
"Professor Zhuo Lang is so cunning. Many bottles contain oils that are as odorless as water. They look as transparent as water. We searched for them in the book for a long time. When the answer was finally revealed, he told us those Just clear water.”
Xia Zuo laughed:
"Then you should pay more attention next time. If Professor Zhuolang really comes up with something similar to clear water, don't make a careless judgment."
"Yeah! I will be like a patient hunter. I will never write down the identification results in advance if I am not completely sure."
Anruer smiled brightly and continued:
"Let's have a seafood boiled set meal together tonight. A big pot filled with various ingredients."
"Okay, I can do that."
The two of them walked into the restaurant and walked towards a quiet corner with few people around.
A minute or two later, a steaming hot pot was brought to the table. A circle of small vegetable boxes hangs on the edge of the pot, and the residual heat of the large pot is used to heat the small vegetables in the box.
An Ru'er sprinkled fresh and spicy seasoning into the pot and eagerly scooped up a bowl of squid tentacles with a spoon, "I'm ready to eat. Huh~huh~ it's too hot."
Xia Zuo stirred the large pot a few times to let the seafood below float to the surface, filled himself with shellfish, and left the squid for Anruer.
…
6pm.
Xia Zuo sent An Ru'er into the corridor of the library, then turned to the poison alchemy area.
"Good evening, Professor."
Kulov lay lazily on the soft sofa and raised his chin in the direction of the desk:
"There is a test paper on the table. You should do it. You can use the alchemy tools and toxin bottles here."
Xia Zuo walked to the table and picked up the test paper to check.
There is only one question on it, and the main part is written in alchemical language. It is not difficult to judge at a glance that this is an operational question.
【1. Follow the following steps to prepare the poison:
[STEP.1: (①一PT.PN32, ②一PT.PA56), (:①+②=③), (□:③)
[STEP.2: (①一PT.③, ④一百PL.YS028), (:③+④=⑤), (□:⑤)
【2. Accurately detect the effect of ⑤.
PN32 is salixanthin and PA56 is mothocyanin.
The complex toxin required to be prepared in this question is the white palate that I saw in the afternoon.
Xia Zuo put on his mask, took the two basic toxins from the poison bottle cabinet, and followed the instructions in "Separation of Toxins" to prepare the white palate.
YS028 is a somewhat whitish solvent that tastes like milk poured into water. Its only purpose is to contain white flocculent toxins like white palate so that the contents cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Xia Zuo had some difficulties after configuring the poison marked ⑤.
The question requirement is to "accurately detect the effect of ⑤", rather than just giving a guess like in the afternoon.
Xia Zuo looked at his mentor and asked with hesitation:
"Professor Kulov, do you have to drink this bottle of poison yourself? Can I find some mice for testing?"
Kulov, who was sunk in the soft sofa, put down his books, shook his head and said:
"We poison alchemists are the best 'guinea pigs'. You can drink it little by little and stop immediately when you feel something strange. Well, according to the records of the acquired affinity test, your willpower is relatively strong. You have to drink half a bottle to feel the poisonous effect."
It seems a little embarrassing.
Xia Zuo was stunned. He didn't expect that the misunderstanding between himself and acquired affinity tester Thales Meso would actually affect Kulov's initial impression of him.
He used the scrying technique on the poison he prepared by himself, and the feedback information was more detailed than that produced by others.
[Item name]? ? ? ?
[Prop type] Poison
[Item level]
Insufficient perception and knowledge reserve, failure to obtain more information.
[Quality of props]
Completion level 85%, good
[Related Resistance] Earth resistance.
It is expected that after the soil resistance reaches 0.5%, the impact of this poison on the host will be significantly reduced.
[Props description]
It is based on albumin and is produced by Xia Zuo.
[Props Effect]
After drinking one-third of the bottle, you will gain a layer of suffocation effect, and your blood will be deducted by 20 points every minute for 1 minute.
Subsequent poisons consumed will extend the duration of the suffocation effect and will not add layers of suffocation effect.
Kulov said you can stop drinking it as soon as you feel the effects of the poison.
Then drink a third of it.
Xia Zuo looked at his blood volume data.
【HP】
45/45 (healthy)
[Basic blood return speed]
0.1 points/minute
One third of the bottle of poison has a blood deduction of 20 points, which is less than half of the upper limit of blood volume. It will not trigger [Emergency Moment], and drinking it is not safe.
Xia Zuo uncorked the bottle, poured the corresponding amount into the measuring cup, took a deep breath, held his breath, picked up the measuring cup and took a sip.
"cough"
He felt an acrid burning sensation slide down his throat and into his chest.
The body convulsed, the air stored in the lungs surged out of the nostrils and mouth uncontrollably, the eardrums were squeezed, and the eyeballs gradually swelled.
Xia Zuo sat down on the wooden bench with difficulty amid waves of unstoppable tremors. He felt like his head was like an inflated balloon, and he could hear no sound except tinnitus.
When the last ray of air left the chest, a vast feeling of suffocation spread throughout the body.
Thump thump thump..
The beating of the heart can be heard, and the sound is getting fainter...
Xia Zuo's face turned pale, and his fingers holding the armrest slowly loosened.
In his open mouth, the upper wall of the mouth called the "palate" was covered with a thick layer of white substance, blocking the entire nose and throat passages.
Time passed by with endless squeezing and trembling, and one minute finally passed.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Xia Zuo's stiff body suddenly shook, and he opened his mouth to greedily inhale the long-lost air.
The message from Goldfinger came to my mind:
"Successfully drinking a third of a bottle of unknown poison (homemade) will reward you with an additional 15% experience bonus, gain 2.3 experience points, increase your will attribute by 0.023, and gain 0.023% earth resistance."
Kulov put the book on his stomach, crossed his fingers in front of him, lay on the soft sofa and asked:
"How do you feel? Have any specific toxic effects been detected?"
Xia Zuo got himself a glass of water and drank most of it, finally feeling relieved from the lingering fear of suffocation.
"Detected, Professor. This bottle of poison can cause a spasm reaction in people, passively expel the air in the chest, and then tighten the nasal cavity and throat passages, producing a strong suffocation effect."
Kulov nodded slowly, raised the corners of his mouth, stroked his mustache, and said in a slightly appreciative tone:
"Very good. That's the end of tonight's class. However, there is still plenty of time. You can try drinking White Palate Poison a few more times and think about any way to offset the suffocation effect of this bottle of poison, or in other words, this What would a special antidote to a bottle of poison look like.”
Xia Zuo frowned and thought, "Special antidote?"
Kulov sank into the soft sofa again and said quickly before picking up the book:
"What I'm talking about is an antidote, a first-aid medicine taken during the incident, not a preventive functional medicine taken beforehand."
When Kulov mentioned the antidote, Xia Zuo's first reaction was the universal antidote.
There are probably more than a thousand types of complex toxins with proven toxic effects.
All poisons made with these toxins as raw materials can be antidoted by the universal interpretation potion.
What is the principle?
Xia Zuo recalled it and had no clue. Maybe it was because he read too little, but he had never seen anything about antidote in a book.
The blood volume is slowly recovering. The dizziness in my head gradually faded away. The palpitations caused by suffocation lingered in my mind.
Xia Zuo gently rubbed his temples, sat at the desk and closed his eyes to meditate.
The lethality of white palate poison is to tighten the nasal and throat passages.
Therefore, it is better to find a toxin that enlarges the nasal and throat passages and fight poison with poison!
Xia Zuo opened his own "Separation of Toxins".
There are no basic toxins that just widen the nasal and throat passages, but there are quite a few toxins that have side effects that can produce similar effects.
If these toxins are used as a hedge against white palate, although the suffocation problem will be solved, new toxic effects will appear.
In order to eliminate the new poisonous effect, other toxins have to be added to the antidote...
Under the ring set, more than ten kinds of toxins are mixed together, so that the suffocating effect caused by white palate can be eliminated without side effects.
Detoxification is much more difficult than making poison...
Xia Zuo leaned back in his chair, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
There is no need to pursue an antidote with no side effects, as long as its toxicity is less than that of leukodin and its damage to the body is less than that of leukodin!
In digital terms, the first layer of suffocation effect deducts 20 blood points per minute, so find a negative effect that deducts less blood to replace it.
Xia Zuo jumped up from his chair and quickly walked to the poison bottle cabinet to look for the appropriate toxin.
More than 1 hour later.
A bottle of green potion appeared on the alchemy table.
This is the product of 3 basic toxins mixed with clean water.
Xia Zuo released his detection technique and his expression became strange...
[Item name]? ? ? ?
[Prop type] Suspected poison
[Item Level] Insufficient perception and knowledge reserves, unable to obtain more information.
[Prop quality] Completion degree 52%, poor
[Associated Resistance] Unknown.
[Prop Description] It is made from 3 basic toxins and mixed with water. The producer is Xia Zuo.
[Props Effect]
After drinking the whole bottle,
13% chance of triggering unknown poison effect,
17% chance of obtaining 1 layer of moderate poisoning effect, deducting 5 blood points every minute for 1 minute.
70% chance to remove all suffocation status and will have no other effects.
This is the first time I have seen a poison that triggers effects based on probability.
"Professor..." Xia Zuo looked at his mentor.
Kulov put down his book, walked to the alchemy table, picked up the unknown poison prepared by the students, opened the cork and smelled it:
"Yes, the raw materials are correct, but the solvent used during preparation was not chosen correctly. Water should not have been used. However, it is already a very good work for you."
Kulov placed the white palate poison and the unknown poison in front of the students, making a "please" gesture.
Xia Zuo's expression froze and he glanced at the panel.
【HP】34/45 (healthy)
Drinking two poisons one after another, the worst result is that an unknown poison effect will be triggered, causing the blood loss to exceed 34 points.
"Uh, professor. I want to prepare it again. Which solvent do you think is better to use?" Xia Zuo asked.
Kulov simply walked to the shelf and took out a bottle of ale, obviously knowing the correct recipe.
Half an hour later.
Xia Zuo used ale as a solvent to prepare a new poison, which has a 100% chance of lifting the suffocation state and will not produce other effects.
It turns out that as long as the correct solvent is used, an antidote without side effects can be directly produced. It is not as Xia Zuo imagined, which requires more than a dozen basic toxins to offset each other's side effects.
This time, he didn't hesitate.
He raised his head and drank one-third of the white palate poison, and then immediately drank the unknown poison after the suffocation state took effect.
[HP] 37/45 (Health → 1st layer of suffocation state → Health)
"Hahaha, I succeeded!" Xia Zuo cheered.
The message from Goldfinger came to my mind:
"Successfully drinking one-third of the bottle of White Palate Poison (homemade) will reward you with an additional 15% experience bonus, gain 2.3 experience points, increase your will attribute by 0.023, and gain 0.023% earth resistance."
"Successfully drinking an unknown poison (self-made) will reward you with an additional 10% experience bonus, gain 2.2 experience points, increase your will attribute by 0.022, and gain 0.022% earth resistance.
! ! !
If you drink the poison and then detoxify it, not only will your blood not be deducted, but you can also get two rewards! !
Wuhu~Get rich~
Xia Zuo waved his fists excitedly.
Kulov looked at the happy students with a smile, "get out of class is over. Put away everything on the table."
"Professor, what is the name of this special antidote to the white palate potion?" Xia Zuo looked at the instructor expectantly.
"What else can I call it, albohydrate antidote?" Kulov chuckled and walked towards the soft sofa.
Xia Zuo glanced at the table, rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
"Professor, look, there is still one third of the bottle of white palate poison left. Can I try its antidote again?"
Kulov lay on the sofa and waved his hand, giving a vague response: "Yes."
30 minutes later.
Xia Zuo skillfully poured himself White Palate Poison and Antidote, two pieces of information emerged in his mind, and he also gained twice experience, will attribute value and earth resistance.
It would be great if I could keep drinking. Then the experience would keep rising.
With a smile on his lips, Xia Zuo packed up the alchemy room quickly, determined to perform well in front of Kulov and win the qualification to use the poison alchemy room at will as soon as possible.
8:10 p.m.
Xia Zuo returned to the dormitory, took a shower and put on his nightgown, sat at his desk and read character-based classics, and didn't go to bed until 10:30 p.m.
A busy day, full of rewards. The comfortable soft couch soon sent him to sleep.
