Chapter 220 219 Lulu's Potion
Chapter 220 219. Lulu's Magic Potion
At first glance, the Moon Meter is just an ordinary mirror, but when it is bathed in moonlight, it will show different colors. The ones with more complete functions will also emit a rapid buzzing sound to remind when the Moon Meter reaches the set standard.
Almost every nocturnal race that is affected by moonlight will carry a small Moon Meter. When Lu Yu bought it, the boss looked at him for a long time, and finally praised Lu Yu for yearning for academics at such a young age, which was really rare, and even gave Lu Yu a zero.
Although I don’t know what the boss has in mind, Lu Yu is still very happy to save money.
The weather in Borne City has been very good recently. The outline of the moon can be seen on the sky before it gets dark, but the Moon Meter has basically not exceeded five during this period, and many bright stars are even brighter than the moon.
If there is any change in Lu Yu’s life after purchasing the Moon Meter, it is that he has developed the habit of lighting the lighting crystal and sitting on the roof to read.
When he couldn't immerse himself in reading and his attention began to wander, he would glance at the moon, compare it with the color displayed on the moon, empty his mind, and stare at the moon or the stars for a while.
I don't know since when, Lu Yu has not raised his head to look at the starry sky above his head.
When he was a child, he looked at the night sky that seemed to be sprinkled with brilliant star sand by an invisible big hand, and often imagined the scene above the sky, deep in the endless starry sky.
However, as he got older, looking up at the sky seemed to be less and less, and even Lu Yu didn't know what he was busy with all day.
The number of people looking at the stars was increasing. Sigrid, who was chewing a handful of beef jerky, climbed onto the roof first, followed by the fog demon who was doing nothing all day and was leisurely.
Finally, it was Lulu who made a bunch of potions but never waited for the warning sound of the moon.
Lu Yu didn't know what Lulu was thinking when she climbed up the stairs even though she could use magic, but when this guy asked him to pull her, Lu Yu still went over.
Are you so weak? You don't have the strength to climb the stairs, and you need a hand... Why do you feel worse than the tentacle monster?
These days, Sigrid has been helping Lulu recover her basic coordination and behavior patterns as a human, because Lulu has been grabbing a cup from the void for several days in a row, and breaking objects because of distance perception problems.
If it were just this, it would be fine. One bad habit Lulu developed during her tentacle monster period was that she felt she was very strong, so she didn't dodge or avoid any attacks.
Lu Yu casually threw a fruit to Lulu, and Lulu actually caught it with her face.
There was a mark on her forehead, and Lulu, with tears in the corners of her eyes, obviously thought she was a tentacle monster, and wanted to perform a fancy operation of stopping the ball with her face and then grabbing it with her tentacles.
Sigrid had no choice but to appear. Lu Yu asked her to wave her fist at Lulu in the air, and she must correct her problem, otherwise when she saw the enemy using magic, her body memory would rush up to block the gun, which would be a big problem.
Tonight's moon quart is five, which is the brightest night in the past few days, but it is still far from the minimum requirement of seven moon quarts that may trigger the ring finger route barrier.
However, the good news is that the local nocturnal races in Born City instinctively feel that the moonlight will be brighter in the next few days.
Lu Yu believes in this instinct, which is a memory engraved in the body of the nocturnal races, an experience that has been integrated into the blood for thousands of years.
Sure enough, the next night when everyone was eating preserved fruits and playing cards on the roof, the mirror of the moon quart instrument turned a little bit into a light pink, which is already six degrees of moon quart.
The moon above the sky is visibly brighter, and the surrounding stars can only flicker weakly, unable to compete with the moon.
This slight change did not make everyone ecstatic, after all, the real highlight has not yet appeared, and the laughter echoing on the roof at this time comes from the three families beating Lulu.
Before, every time we played cards, there was a penalty game, either push-ups on the spot or sticking a note on the face.
The so-called punishment is a little entertainment for the winners of the game, making the card game more interesting and competitive, but whenever Lulu is the loser, the punishment game is boring.
A tentacle monster doing push-ups is just a bunch of tentacles waving in the air. You say she tried her best, but it always feels weird. You say she is playing tricks... Then how should the tentacle monster do push-ups?
As for the punishment of sticking notes on the face, it is even more boring. Where is the face of the tentacle monster Lulu? You can't see her facial features. She can't even say that she acts according to my expression. Appreciating other people's expressions when playing cards is a strategy, but when it comes to Lulu... everything goes black!
One of the fun things about sticking notes is to stick them on the forehead and eyebrows. The hanging notes not only block the view, but also fly up and down with the exhalation of people, which is particularly interesting.
Although the fog monster is the same as Ditto, it transforms into a human to play cards, so the punishment is real and effective. When it comes to Lulu, Lu Yu changed many ways, and finally only implemented one: "Every time Lulu loses a game, use the tentacles to tie a knot."
So, as the first card game after Lulu recovered her body, everyone worked hard to make Lulu suffer a big loss.
The density of the paper strips on Lulu's face is comparable to the soul-calling flags on the grave next door. When Lulu exhaled angrily, the paper strips made a "swish" sound, which made Lu Yu almost unable to hold back his laughter.
Maybe the experience of playing cards left a deep impression on Lulu, or maybe considering the dangers after entering the barrier, Lulu took out a big treasure the next day.
In a translucent container the size of a fist, a potion that resembles magma bubbles and churns, and you can feel the heat just by looking at it.
Coupled with Lulu's proud smile, Lu Yu felt that this potion definitely belonged to the dangerous goods category.
"Try to use it?"
Lulu shook the sticky "magma" in the bottle. The churning dark red color showed that it was definitely not good.
"It's not a defective product. Isn't it a pity to just use it like this?"
"You have to be familiar with these works of mine. I am not boasting. Although my potions are not as good as those of the regular potion school, my potions that can be used by throwing can definitely make everyone's eyes shine."
Sigrid, who was eating some fruit, came closer and volunteered to help Lulu try it.
Of course Lu Yu didn't give it, but he wanted to try it himself to see what kind of dazzling potion it was.
Having learned from the previous experience of the fire bursting into the sky and the overwhelming heat wave when the magic potion was triggered, Lu Yu came to the open area, ran hard, then rounded his arms and threw the potion far away in a standard throwing posture.
Then, Lu Yu's eyes lit up.
In the physical sense, his eyes lit up, and dazzling light poured into Lu Yu's eyes, occupying every corner.
There was no violent explosion, only a continuous sound, similar to the sound of firecrackers set off during the New Year.
When Lu Yu recovered from the dazzling light, the burning smell drifted into his nose with the wind, and the choking breath hit his face, forcing him to blink back with slightly stinging eyes.
Where the potion fell, dark red mist spread, and wherever it went, fire shot into the sky.
"I refined a large amount of violent fire essence from the materials, fused them, compressed them, and then dried them into dust. Finally, I used some materials that could prevent them from burning quickly... Oh, it's the sticky black mud you see. . As long as you use magic to accelerate the volatilization of these potions, they will form an extremely dazzling light after the explosion, and scatter around the explosion site until all the effects are exhausted... No, it's burned, the fog. Put out the fire, put out the fire!"
With that said, Lulu took the lead in attracting water from the surrounding wells and sprinkled it on the fire area.
Fortunately, Lulu didn't make some evil potion that burned more vigorously when exposed to water. Otherwise, with the speed of the flames spreading, they would have considered buying the mansion in full.
Lulu took care of Lu Yu, a person who had never been exposed to potions. She had already made it very simple. She didn't even bother to mention professional terms and the names of materials...
What else could Lu Yu do but applaud.
It was really eye-catching. It combined the effects of incendiary bombs and flash bombs, and the actual combat effect was first-class. But I don’t know if the spreading red mist is easily disturbed by wind-type magic. If it blows into my face, Come on, wouldn’t that be a big help to the other party?
Lu Yu now understood that Lulu, a pharmacist from Yeluzi, said she was refining magic potion, but she was actually making weapons of mass destruction. It was an alien version of gunpowder that could not be made by refining alchemy.
Whether it's a potion that can spray pillars of fire, or a deluxe potion with flash bombs and incendiary bombs, it stands out as a portable, easy-to-use, must-have for home and travel.
Lu Yu also understood why Lulu exploded when she experimented with pharmaceuticals. She, who was born in Yeluzi, had completely different understandings of refining pharmaceuticals than the school pharmacists who stayed in the academic tower.
Pharmacists of the school mostly consider the effects after taking them, but Lulu has no experience in this area. When she entered the profession, she used trigger-type potions that rewarded prizes after opening the lid.
There were some deviations in the idea from opening the lid and winning prizes to taking potions, which often led to some strange oolongs in refining the potions, causing even more bizarre effects, and even causing big explosions...
But fortunately, Lulu seems to have clearly realized her problem after blowing herself into a tentacle monster, so the potions she prepared this time are basically of the "open the lid and get a prize, your eyes will shine" type, with only a few They are ingestible types, such as the accelerating recovery potion for Lu Yu, the strength-enhancing and speed-enhancing potions for Sigrid, and the Mist Demon's amplifying potion that strengthens the magic output for a short period of time.
Considering that the moon has been getting brighter and brighter in the past two days, Lulu, who has done a good job in preparations, began to introduce to everyone the equipment that will be used when entering the moon-carved barrier this time.
In the temporary storage shed, various magic potions and weapons that were just purchased and enchanted by Lulu were placed in an orderly manner.
Lu Yu was filled with emotion just by looking at this orderly arrangement with enough space between them.
Lulu didn't turn into a tentacle monster in vain, she finally wasn't all piled up together!
She has changed!
Among the large amounts of warm-toned potions, Lu Yu saw a container that looked like a thermos cup. The upper half contained a liquid that looked like green apple juice, and the lower half contained peach-colored dust.
There is an obvious dividing line between liquid and dust, which is not inherent in the container.
Lu Yu, who was very familiar with the style of Lulu's products, was not deceived by its fresh colors. He instinctively felt that this product could give him a bigger surprise.
"What is this for?"
Lulu came to Lu Yu, stretched out her hand, and took the container that Lu Yu had raised over his head to look at carefully.
Seeing Lulu starting to mobilize her magic power, Lu Yu quickly stopped her.
"Don't try it, don't try it. These are your flawless products. Let's not be so extravagant. Wouldn't it be nice to smash them when you encounter an enemy after entering the barrier? Just tell me the effect."
Lulu said with some disappointment: "Actually, this is not very easy to use, and the effect is very tasteless."
"Useless?" Lu Yu asked in confusion, "What effect does it have?"
Lulu said: "When these two materials are mixed together, they will produce a highly toxic poison. This poison is very interesting. It is ineffective against people without magic power, but people with magic power will feel a strong burning sensation when absorbing magic power after being inhaled in a certain dose. If the inhaled dose is sufficient, the magic power will be enough to make him feel miserable."
Lu Yu opened his mouth wide: "I remember someone told me before that she only knows a little bit about poisoning."
Lulu didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and said confidently: "Indeed, she only knows a little bit. The finished product has only this little effect, and you have to inhale a lot of it. Only if it enters the body can it kill people. I really don't know how to use it... When it was just made, Sera and I thought it would be a powerful weapon, but after using it several times in actual combat, we found that it was of little use. If it weren't for the scraps of medicine that happened to be enough to make up a portion, I wouldn't want to make it. "
"Look at the potions here, which one is not stronger than this chronic poison, either it can burn people into charcoal, or it can shake the earth after exploding. Compared with it, although this potion is a perfect product, its effect may not be as good as those defective products burned by Sigrid..."
As expected of a witch who grew up playing with fire, whether it can explode or burn is an important indicator for her to judge the quality of the potion.
No wonder Lulu was so excited when she let herself ignite the potion with the effect of flash bomb and incendiary bomb. This clearly wanted him to feel his own masterpiece and enjoy the excitement brought by the explosion together...
The autistic Lulu was extremely excited only at this moment. Perhaps this is the happiest thing engraved in the memory.
After all, in that distant past, someone played with her to light fires, someone watched her throw fireballs, and cheered and clapped as they listened to the explosions.
After doing all this, when they returned to the shabby little house, someone would bring out food that was not delicate and could be said to be difficult to swallow, and they would enjoy it together warmly.
Sera once said that part of Lulu's life would always stay in that distant past.
After Lulu's parents died, that part of her cognition never changed, and it seemed... like she had never grown up.
