Chapter 485: The Art of Clone

"I guess the pharmacist who created this potion is probably a Fool himself." Vivian sighed, "Only Fools can understand Fools' emotions best. Of course, this potion master must have done in-depth research on black magic."

"Indeed..." Mu You also agreed with what he said. Emotions are illusory things, and using emotions as medicine is even more against the will of heaven. Without personally experiencing the feelings of a Fool, how could he write such a fantastic formula?

From this point of view, the level of this potion master is not necessarily higher than Vivian, but he took advantage of being a Fool in this prescription. If Vivian is also a Fool, Mu You believes that she will be able to research a potion that restrains the black magic curse faster.

Speaking of which, since Gargamel came from the last era, her teacher is likely to be someone who survived the last era. Could it be a Fool who did not act with the main force in the last era?

The information about the "Lord of Disaster" can only be analyzed here. Mu You quickly retracted his thoughts and began to formally refine the medicine.

Bitter pollen was obtained in the forest before, more than 20 pieces, which was barely enough at this time. As for blood, it was not lacking. After all, the blood of all fools could be used as medicine. If his blood was not enough, he could just go out and buy a few bags of plasma to serve as the material.

Mu You's success rate in refining medicine was also frighteningly high. He refined it 24 times in total, and successfully made medicine 21 times, of which 18 pieces were directly rare grade!

These 18 bottles of rare grade potion were put into the synthesis furnace in three batches, and finally got two bottles of legend and one bottle of epic.

This busy work took a day and a night.

The next morning, before the sun rose, Mu You and Fu Ya came to the bitter forest again.

[You and Fu Ya appeared in front of the door of Gargamel's house. ]

[You saw an old figure, carrying an exaggerated package, with his back to you, standing in front of the door and trying hard to lock the door, but because of dizziness, he could not aim at the keyhole. 】

【Gargamel soon noticed your presence, and immediately turned to look at you and Fuya with vigilance, asking what you are doing here again? 】

【"We have fulfilled the agreement yesterday. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise." You and Fuya took out the prepared legendary potions from your bodies and showed them to Gargamel. 】

【"What? Don't be ridiculous..." Gargamel heard this and suddenly laughed disdainfully, obviously not believing what you said. 】

【Until she took a few steps closer and glanced at the potions in your hands, the laughter stopped abruptly. 】

【Gargamel suddenly rushed to your side, snatched the potion from your hand, held it tightly in his hand and stared at it. The more he looked, the more shocked he was: "It's really a sweet potion, it's really legendary... This is impossible! It's only been a day, how could you..." Gargamel's eyes widened, muttering to himself, his face full of disbelief. 】

Fuya sighed as she looked at the text prompt. She could actually fully understand Gargamel's mood. When Mu You stuffed a bottle of legendary potion into her mouth last night, she also had a similar reaction.

This was a goal that the other party had given up youth and social life and lived in seclusion in the mountains for thousands of years, but he still couldn't achieve. As a result, it was completed in just one day. Anyone would probably be upset.

However, she knew more than Gargamel. Since she had witnessed the birth of the legendary potion with her own eyes, she knew that Mu You used a tricky method, which was why he didn't lose his composure like Gargamel.

[After repeated confirmation, Gargamel immediately looked up, his two bloodshot eyes stared at you, and at the same time he reached out and grabbed your arm, excitedly asking you how you did it. 】

[You choose...]

[Tell the truth], [Hide the truth].

Of the two options, Mu You naturally chose to hide.

[You don't intend to tell Gargamel the secret of the synthesis furnace, but instead urge the other party to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible and open the door to the bitter garden for you. 】

【"You must tell me how you did it, so I can open the door for you!" Gargamel blurted out. 】

Mu You was speechless, this is the rhythm of playing rogue.

At this time, Mu You must not be timid, otherwise he will be manipulated.

【You stared back at Gargamel seriously, asking her if she wanted to go against her teacher's wishes? 】

【Gargamel's face turned red when you asked him, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn't refute. 】

【After struggling for dozens of seconds, Gargamel finally sighed and lowered his head to you: "I'm sorry, I will open the door for you, but please, tell me how to make the legendary potion, it's very important to me..."】

"Or... tell her?" Fu Ya next to him was a little soft-hearted when she saw the text, and looked at Mu You inquiringly.

The other party has wasted four thousand years here for this bottle of legendary potion, and now he has to beg people with his old body in a low voice, which immediately made Fu Ya sympathetic.

Mu You is not as sentimental as Fuya. Although she is pitiful, it is her own choice after all, so she cannot blame others.

Mu You doesn't mind helping her fulfill her wish at this moment, but he can't give it away for free.

[Faced with Gargamel's pleading, you tell her that you can ask for the secret of the legendary potion, and you can even help her make a bottle of legendary potion by yourself to help her fulfill her wish, but she needs to exchange it for the 'Fractal Device'. ]

["You are still coveting my treasure!" Gargamel glared at you angrily, and his palm instinctively touched the wooden sculpture in his arms. ]

Mu You sighed. He admitted that he really wanted the cheater item, but he thought the current deal was fair.

This thing was useless in the hands of the other party. Even if it was a commemorative item of great significance to her, it was not as practical as letting the other party meet her teacher in person.

Mu You believed that it should not be difficult to make a choice to exchange a commemorative item with no actual value for a reunion after four thousand years.

Sure enough, after the game text was silent for several minutes, Gargamel finally compromised.

[After hesitating for a long time, Gargamel finally made a decision. With a long sigh, he took out the wood carving from his arms and handed it to you tremblingly. ]

[You obtained the 'Fractal Device with Three Remaining Use Opportunities'. ]

[You hurriedly put away the item and informed the other party of the information about the synthesis furnace as promised. ]

["It's so simple..." Gargamel felt bitter after listening to your explanation. Tears flashed in his eyes. His already old face became even older at this moment. ]

[You take out the synthesis furnace to prove to the other party that what you said is true, and say that as long as the other party provides enough rare potions, you can synthesize legendary potions for her at any time. ]

[Gargamel looked at you with disappointment, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. Outsiders can use this method to pass the teacher's test, but as a disciple of the teacher, if I also use this opportunistic method, it will only bring shame to the teacher."]

"Hmm?"

Mu You was a little surprised and actually refused...

The test given to her by the other party's teacher is that as long as someone can make a legendary sweet potion, they can enter the bitter garden, but there is no limit on how to make it. In his opinion, using a synthesis furnace fully meets the requirements. He even doubted for a while whether the fundamental purpose of the other party's teacher setting this test was to wait for the appearance of the synthesis furnace.

And Gargamel has been here for four thousand years. From her previous performance, it can be seen that her longing for the teacher has penetrated into her bones. Even if this method is a bit tricky, she should seize this opportunity at all costs to meet her teacher.

As a result, when the opportunity was really in front of him, the other party refused it very straightforwardly... Mu You said he couldn't understand it.

Mu You felt a little guilty. It was originally a fair transaction, but now it seemed as if he had cheated the other party of a prop...

After hesitating for a while, Mu You was about to enter text in the game to persuade the other party, but was stopped by Fu Ya next to him.

"It's normal..."

"Huh?" Mu You was stunned.

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't dare to go..."

"Why?"

Looking at Mu You's confused expression, Fu Ya rolled her eyes: "Four thousand years, such a long time, not only brought her loneliness, but also took away her youth and beauty. Think about what the other party was like four thousand years ago, and what he looks like now? Missing is missing, but if you want to meet your sweetheart with this ugly face, I'm afraid any girl will refuse..."

"..."

After listening, Mu You suddenly realized that it was because of this aspect, which was really beyond his scope...

[Gargamel walked to the ancient bell at the back, pulled the bell rope, and rang the ancient bell. 】

【The iron ball hit the wall of the bell forcefully again and again, but the imagined bell sound did not come out. 】

【Gargamel kept the same frequency, and after knocking for 9981 times, a spiral black space vortex quietly formed under the ancient bell. 】

【Gargamel hurriedly moved away and waved for you to come. 】

"Is this ancient bell the entrance to the Bitter Garden?"

Mu You and Fu Ya looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Just now, Gargamel knocked the bell for a long time, but there was no sound. It is estimated that the bell sound was knocked for the other side to hear, just like a secret code for the connection. After the other side confirmed that the secret code was correct, it opened the entrance from the other side.

[“This entrance won’t last long, go in quickly. Remember, you can only stay in it for five days at most, after that you will be automatically expelled by the space rules, and you can’t leave the range of the Bitter Garden during this period.” Gargamel told you two: “In short, no matter what you want to do when you go in, you must complete it within five days!”]

Seeing Gargamel say this, Mu You immediately understood that this entrance might not be a regular way, but more like a bug.

[You asked Gargamel if there was anything you needed to pay attention to in the Bitter Garden. ]

[Gargamel shook his head, indicating that she had left there for thousands of years, and it was probably completely unrecognizable inside, so you can only explore it on your own. ]

[“If you can see the Lord of Disaster, please say hello to the teacher on my behalf.” Gargamel finally asked you. ]

[You and Fuya agreed happily. ]

If there was time, Mu You actually wanted to go back and prepare, but unfortunately there was no time to hesitate in the current situation, so he had to control the character to jump into the teleportation array immediately.

[You and Fuya jumped into the space vortex one after another. 】

【You just felt a blackness in front of your eyes, and then the world spun around...】

【After a few seconds, you seemed to fall into a wet muddy ground somewhere, and the fragrance of the soil came from the tip of your nose, but you were drowsy and couldn't open your eyes or move. 】

【In a trance, you vaguely heard a rustling sound, as if someone was approaching you cautiously. 】

[You feel like you were fed something, and your consciousness quickly becomes more drowsy, and you can't lift your whole body. ]

[In a daze, you feel a strange force lifting you up and floating in the air...]

Hmm?

Mu You was a little confused looking at the texts that popped up in front of him.

After jumping through a teleportation array, his character actually fainted directly. Could it be that he was unlucky and fell "headfirst"?

"How are you?" Mu You looked at Fu Ya.

"I came in, but I seemed to have fallen into a warehouse. The text prompt said that there were a lot of noisy sounds outside, so I didn't dare to go out... Let me find out the situation first." Fu Ya was busy operating her mobile phone, saying without raising her head.

Apparently, Fu Ya landed smoothly.

Mu You looked at the prompt in the game that "your character is in a coma and cannot be operated", and was helpless for a while, so he simply hung up the machine and took out the wooden sculpture he had just obtained to take a look.

This wood carving is slightly heavy to hold. It looks like a person with wings on his back, with his hands crossed on his chest. His gender cannot be seen. There is a row of small glowing crystals inlaid on his belly, but only the last three crystals are lit.

"Huh? Fractalizer!"

The bard seemed to sense something at this time, and suddenly emerged from the oil lamp. Seeing the thing in Mu You's hand, he was surprised.

"Do you recognize it?" Mu You asked hurriedly.

"Hehe, I am a god after all. I also participated in the development of the Star Spirit Realm. This thing is actually a test prop for the gods who were responsible for testing at the time."

"But later, it seems that this prop is too perverted. After the Star Spirit Realm was officially built, this thing was banned. I didn't expect it to still exist..." The lamp god was amazed.

"Is this thing very perverted?" Mu You was curious. According to the instructions, this thing seems to be just a transformation of the skin into several controllable clones. How could it be worth the gods to collectively ban this prop?

"Of course!" The lamp god nodded: "The clones created by this thing are not those clones made by magic that look good but are useless, but real life forms with thoughts, personalities, and can continue to grow!"

"Using this thing is equivalent to changing the controllable characters in your game from one to four, and your exploration speed and opportunities are four times that of others! Think about what it means?"

"Moreover, the most powerful part of this thing is that your clones can believe in different gods than you do. In other words, in the future, you will be a team by yourself, and there will definitely be no problems such as lack of tacit understanding and distribution of interests. Although the clones have their own personalities, they are absolutely loyal to you, and everything will be based on the interests of the original body..." The lamp god introduced the use of the fractal device to Mu You in detail.

After listening, Mu You pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "You just said that the personality of the clones created depends on the original body?"

"Yes, the personality of each clone is taken from a part of your personality, which is equivalent to dividing your complete personality into three parts, and each of the three clones takes one part. Of course, no matter how the external personality is divided, their inner nature is still up to you." The lamp god nodded.

"Then, can I distribute the seven deadly sins corresponding to the bones of the demon god to a certain clone, and let this clone help me digest the bones?" Mu You suddenly asked.

"Hmm?"

This question made the lamp god confused for a moment. After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, he nodded: "Theoretically, it should be possible..."

The clones created by the fractal device actually have their personalities randomly distributed, but he knows that Mu You has the pen of order, which can interfere with the distribution rules of the fractal device and make the clones show some specific personalities to a certain extent. It can still be done.

"However, if you really do this, the personality of your clone is likely to be more extreme." The lamp god said.

"Oh?"

"For example, the seven deadly sins. Since your original body does not actually have the seven deadly sins, but rather a more moderate character, if you forcibly create the seven deadly sins, then because of the law of character conservation, when the seven deadly sins appear, the corresponding seven virtues will also be born. In other words, when you let one clone concentrate all your 'evil', there will definitely be another clone that concentrates all your 'good'. In the end, these two clones may become two completely opposite extremes."

"It sounds good."

The lamp god wanted to persuade him to give up this idea, but Mu You was quite satisfied after listening.

If he could really create a great saint and a great demon, then he might arrange for them to go to the divine world in the future, taking the routes of good and evil respectively, and taking all the rewards of both systems.
