Chapter 615 Do You Want to Go Home?
"Deducing a magic potion from a magic potion, this person is very imaginative..." After listening to the two people's description, the night watchman couldn't help but marvel.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Although this deduction seems outrageous, the principle is actually reliable.
The entire Star Spirit World is a world created by the gods, and the various elements in it are also designed by the gods themselves. This kind of design from scratch is difficult to get rid of the reference to existing elements.
Human imagination cannot create things without any basis and reference. It can only combine, deform, and expand existing things to make it look like a new thing.
This is the same for gods.
This is why the overall social framework and species composition of the Star Spirit World look so similar to the real world: everything in the Star Spirit World can always find a corresponding prototype in the high sky world.
Just like alchemy, it is a virtual discipline designed by mechanics based on the mechanical system they have been studying for many years.
Alchemy is also a virtual system designed by the God of Medicine based on his divine power. Even though the details of the two have undergone countless deformations and become unrecognizable, and at first glance they cannot be the same thing, the core framework of the two is still the same.
Mu You flipped through all the animal skin scrolls and soon found that in addition to the "dictionary", there were also three finished potion formulas, namely "1 Star God's Life Potion·Fake", "Memory Potion·Fake", and "Resistance Potion·Fake".
There are several notes on the back of the three formulas.
【“These three formulas are the products I have deduced over the years. It’s not that I don’t want to deduce more prescriptions, but the failure rate of deduction is too high, and a lot of materials are needed in the process. In the area where I am, only these three prescriptions have the most complete materials.”】
【“Among these three potions, the memory potion can help creatures improve amnesia and recall some forgotten information, but remember that it can only be taken once a week, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
The resistance potion has no side effects. After taking it, it can exempt all the negative states that follow, but it only takes effect for five seconds after taking it.
The life potion also has no side effects, but the effect of increasing life is only half of that of the real life potion. This formula should still have room for improvement, but unfortunately I don’t have time anymore. If the conditions are sufficient, future generations can try to continue to improve it.”】
From this, Abby should have refined many potions over the years, but they all deteriorated and dried up with the passage of time, leaving no finished products, only these three formulas.
Next, Mu You followed the recipe and picked through the real materials he had obtained before. He found the materials for the resistance potion and the life potion, took out the alchemy table and the crucible, and tried to refine them on the spot.
…
Half an hour later, as the liquid in the crucible cooled and took shape, Mu You skillfully poured the potion into the test tube.
So far, two potions, one red and one green, took shape in front of him.
[1-star God's Life Potion·Fake: After taking it, increase 25 points of real life, take up to 10 bottles (counted together with the 1-star life potion), and can continue to improve. ]
[Resistance Potion·Fake: Within five seconds after taking it, the resistance to all negative states including toxins, burning, freezing, attribute weakening, etc. will be increased to 100%. ]
The effects of the two fake potions are indeed the same as recorded in the scroll. The life potion has only half the effect, and it shares the upper limit of 10 bottles with the normal life potion.
In other words, if you take 10 bottles of fake potions, you will no longer be able to take real life potions in the future, and the life you get from the potion will only be half of that of others for life.
This weakening effect is indeed a bit harsh, but after all, the cost is low enough!
For this fake potion, Mu You just used four low-star materials, and the total cost is only about 100 divinity. If you want to buy a bottle of real life potion, you need 1,000 divinity. Even if you only count half of the attributes, you need 500, which is 80% cheaper!
If the original life potion can only be afforded by top players, then all players can drink 10 bottles of this youth version potion as long as they work hard.
What's more, this potion clearly states that the formula can be further improved, and the attributes that have been cut have a chance to be restored. At that time, the cost performance will be raised again!
As for the other resistance potion, it can only last for five seconds and seems to be useless in battle.
However, when Mu You saw the detailed description of this potion, his eyes immediately lit up: This potion can resist the weakening of attributes, so can't it be used to resist the burning attribute of the god skin?
Although the burning attribute of the divine skin is continuous, and the resistance of just five seconds is almost useless, don't forget that the first divine art of the order system is "attribute lock".
Attribute lock can lock the basic attributes for one hour. During this period, the attributes will not be lost when the divine skin is opened. All the attributes that should be burned will be fully returned at the moment the divine art is released, making the player's four attributes directly become single digits, and instantly lose combat effectiveness.
However, if this potion is taken one second before the attribute lock is released, can it be exempted from the step of attribute weakening?
If so, it means that the biggest side effect of the divine skin can be perfectly offset by this potion + attribute lock combination!
In this way, the divine skin can become a means of daily use. Even if the divine skin is opened for a full hour, the player is still in full state and can continue to fight normally.
"This potion is of great significance!" said the herbalist seriously.
"Yeah, it's a pity that the attribute lock itself has a cooldown time, otherwise you can open the divine skin 24 hours a day..." Mu You sighed.
The attribute lock of LV6 lasts for one hour, and then there is a cooldown of about one day, during which time you can no longer receive new 'attribute lock' effects.
In other words, each person can only open the attribute lock once a day, and with this potion, there is only one hour of divine skin time without side effects every day.
Even so, the help of this potion is powerful enough, turning the divine skin from a trump card into a daily means of fighting against the enemy, which is a qualitative change, not to mention that with the increase of the attribute lock level, the duration will be greatly extended.
The attribute lock of LV10 can last for a full 5 hours, and the cooldown time is only 10 hours, which can achieve a coverage rate of 50%, which is definitely enough for daily combat.
"How to deal with it?" The herbalist looked at Mu You and asked.
"These two formulas are directly disclosed. As for the life potion, I will study it first." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
These formulas, and even the entire magic medicine system, are not his credit. He has no right to monopolize them, and he has never thought about owning them. It is best to make them public directly.
Of course, it is better to improve the formulas of the three magic potions to the limit before making them public. After all, they are disposable.
And no one is more suitable than him to improve the formula.
The reason why Abby failed to improve the formula to the limit is that there is not enough time and materials, while Mu You has a pocket watch and a fool card. He only needs one material to try infinitely until the best formula is found.
Next, Mu You created a post on the forum, named "The Story of Abby Pruett, the Selfless Dedicator Remembered by Future Generations, the Godly Pharmacist".
The post narrated Abby's life, and all the animal skin scrolls and the two formulas were published in the form of photos.
Mu You rarely spoke on the forum as a ghost captain. This was his first official post, and it attracted countless onlookers once it was released.
"It's so great that one person created a magic medicine system!"
"A person has been alone in the sky for a thousand years. I can't imagine the loneliness. I definitely can't do it..."
"No wonder even the city lord posted it himself. It's really worth remembering..."
...
While everyone was sighing, some people soon realized the role of the resistance potion.
"Wait a minute, can't this resistance potion be used in conjunction with attribute lock?"
"I thought so too. This potion is a perfect match for order players!"
"Damn, doesn't that mean every team with a magic skin will have to be equipped with an order player in the future?"
"Hahaha, the historical status of order players has been greatly improved!"
"Originally, the order system is also indispensable..."
...
The players were discussing it hotly, and the more witty ones had already gone to the high sky world to find the materials mentioned in the recipe as soon as possible.
In the pet shop, Mu You posted the post and didn't care about it anymore. At this time, he was looking at a certain part of the animal skin scroll and fell into deep thought.
This animal skin scroll is the one that describes Abby's life story, and there is such a paragraph in it.
[…After discovering that the Sky City had disappeared, I used the soul-guiding lamps to teleport to a farther place frantically, hoping to find a way out, but unfortunately I failed in the end. After passing through more than a hundred soul lamps in a row, the path of the soul lamps was cut off, and I had to return…On the way back, I even encountered a group of giants…When this group of giants passed by me, I was so scared that I froze in place…Fortunately, this group of giants seemed to have a mission and did not stop to attack me, so I escaped with my life…]
“…”
Mu You frowned as he looked at this paragraph. He read it too fast before and didn’t think there was anything wrong. Now looking back, he found that this paragraph was very strange: Abby met a giant on the road, and passed by the giant, but he was not parasitized?
It is understandable that these giants have a mission and did not stop to attack specifically, but the parasitism of the Devouring God Beast does not require time. As long as they are within ten meters, it can be completed instantly, and it is invisible and intangible, and it is impossible to defend.
But from Abby’s records later, his thoughts and behaviors are very normal, and he is obviously not parasitized.
Why?
Was it because the giant didn't actually find him at the time? Because he looked too weak and not worth parasitizing?
Or was it because Abby had something special?
Mu You frowned and thought for a while, but he had no clue.
There was no way, the description was too vague, just a simple mention, no details, no way to judge.
There was no result, Mu You could only put it aside for the time being.
Back to the game, Mu You collected the bones in the cave, and then took the wild man's tooth back to Dawn City.
[You appeared in Dawn City...]
[You came to the Crow Tribe through the soul-guiding lamp...]
[You turned into a sparrow man, spread your wings and flew to the outer jungle...]
After three consecutive changes, Mu You came to the Spider Forest where the wild man appeared again.
This wild man will only appear once for each fool, so this time Mu You specially equipped a thousand faces and changed his appearance.
[You are wandering in the jungle, and suddenly you hear the ground shaking behind you...]
[A huge figure quickly climbs from the treetops behind you, surpasses you in just a few seconds, and lands in front of you. It is the wild man you met before.]
[Now you have learned the name of this wild man, named 'Muro'.]
[Savage Muro ran to you on all fours: "Friend... do you have anything to give me?"]
[You choose...]
With the same four options as before, Mu You directly sent the tooth into the game.
[You took out the savage tooth found in the cave and handed it to the other party. ]
[Savage Muro saw the tooth, and the smile on his face froze instantly. His eyes widened. He snatched the tooth necklace and felt the familiar breath on it. He froze in place and his body gradually trembled. ]
["That's right... that's it... you are... the friend I've been waiting for... you are finally back..." The savage held the tooth, looked at you excitedly, and circled around you excitedly, happy like a child. ]
[The other party seems to have completely regarded you as Abby Pruett. If you accept this identity, you can completely subdue this savage. As the savior of the savage, it is not a problem to let the other party go through life and death for you. You choose...】
[Imitate Abby], [Tell the truth]
There are two options, the first one is very tempting, but Mu You sighed and chose to tell the truth.
Pretending to be Abby may indeed bring more benefits, but after learning the story of the two, Mu You really couldn't bear to let this simple savage be deceived again.
[You shook your head, admitted that you are not Abby, and told the savage about Abby's deeds truthfully. ]
[The savage listened to it in a daze, and was stunned for a long time. It seemed that he finally reacted to your meaning. Suddenly he squatted on the ground and cried loudly...]
[You handed Abby's bones to Muro and comforted him. Before Abby died, her biggest wish was to see him again. Now, Abby finally fulfilled her wish, and I think she can rest in peace in the underworld. ]
[The savage carefully took the bones, suddenly jumped up, climbed the tree trunk with one arm, and jumped into the depths of the woods. ]
[You followed behind, the savage looked back at you, but did not stop your action. ]
[The savage stopped by a stream somewhere deep in the forest. This is where the savage Muro and Abby first met. ]
[The savage dug a pit under the boulder by the stream, buried the bones in it, and took stones and wooden signs to make a simple grave. ]
[After doing all this, Muro turned around and jumped back to your side. ]
["Thank you... Abby's companion... and my friend... Come here... Muro will protect friends..." The savage said, pointed to the land under his feet, and then put the tooth necklace in his hand into your hand again, and motioned you to wear the necklace, otherwise he would find it difficult to distinguish you from other fools. ]
This savage's meaning should be that if Muyou encounters danger in the future, run to this forest, and he will appear to help.
For ordinary players, this is also a good reward.
But Muyou is not satisfied with this.
After thinking about it, he entered it in the game.
【Seeing the savage about to turn around and leave, you suddenly called him and asked him if he wanted to go home? 】
【“Go home?” The savage looked at you in disbelief, with desire and hesitation in his eyes, scratching his head and saying: “I want to… but… I forgot where my home is…”】
The savage’s home is naturally the Jielin.
Mu You didn’t know where the Jielin was, but he now has the recipe for the memory potion, which can improve amnesia and remind people of forgotten information.
Abby’s suicide note mentioned that the reason why the savage wandered here was because he was out on sentry duty that year, and he forgot the way back due to amnesia. He kept getting lost and was separated from his tribe.
Then all you need to do next is to keep feeding the savage with memory potions, and one day, he will be able to remember the way back to the Jielin by himself.
【“Follow me, I will help you find your way home!” You suggested to the savage. 】
