Chapter 143: Ian's Alchemy Workshop (2/3)

  Chapter 143 Ian's Alchemy Workshop (23)

   A piece of armor, of course, can't do anything, and it takes a lot of effort to block the short bows and arrows of the natives.

  However, hundreds of thousands of armor pieces are connected in series to form a whole, but they can form an external defense module armed with ether, which can block the fangs and claws of monsters and aliens or the impact of bullets from alchemy firearms.

  If coupled with the energy supply enhancement of the ether core, even alchemy cannons can block it!

  In the final analysis, that is the governor of Port Harrison, and Viscount Grant's strongest trump card to suppress the surrounding aborigines. Naturally, the more spare parts of this defense module, the better.

Although theoretically speaking, this kind of most basic inscription defense armor piece can be made by anyone who has the level of a junior inscription craftsman, but not everyone can have such steady hands and gain the trust of the Viscount. Obtaining this is obviously very important. Critical, nor error-prone work.

   What's more, it took Ian nearly half an hour to engrave such a piece of armor.

  If one fights with a strong person of the same level, the speed of armor plate consumption may be several per second.

   "Creation is always more difficult than destruction... I don't rely on the silver chip for assistance, but only rely on my own basic skills, which is probably close to the level of an official inscription craftsman. The assessment may be a bit strenuous."

  After finishing this successful drawing, Ian put down the nail plate and lithography pen, and stretched his waist: "Well~ today's task is completed, and the progress is not very obvious."

  Looking sideways at his workbench, he couldn't help complaining: "The tools are still too bad. Harrison Port can't buy a full set of inscription tools for normal craftsmen."

  The young man who has not yet fully developed has a handsome face, with a pair of light blue eyes, and his waist-length hair is braided into a long braid, hanging from his shoulders to his waist.

  He was wearing a black hooded off-shoulder vest, the white robe that should have been worn was wrapped around his waist, and the crocodile leather waist bag was tied by a belt, which seemed to contain many things.

Even for the well-proportioned Terrans, Ian's appearance, which has gradually grown, is extremely stunning. If Tang Zhu appears in a strange place, he will definitely attract a lot of attention, so he usually uses a hood when he goes out. Cover your face so you don't get in trouble.

But the good thing is that he really rarely goes out, and even if he travels on weekdays, he moves quickly. Only during festivals and important gatherings within the Bai Zhimin, he will be the disciple of Elder Pude. The psyker with inscription talent appeared.

  As an ordinary person, looking too good-looking may cause a lot of trouble.

  But as the future leader of a family, with outstanding appearance and ability, it can make everyone remember deeply and provide significant cohesion.

  At the very least, when many people in Bai couldn't recognize all their relatives, they all recognized Ian.

  A face that can be remembered so deeply that it can be recognized at a glance is also a kind of extraordinary power.

   "Today's schedule has been completed, it's time to rest."

  Picking up the nail plate and the inscription carving knife, Ian put away the lithography pen with care. Although the lithography pen is very old, it is actually the most valuable tool in his body now.

  Just the crystallization of ultra-high-purity lightning-attributed elements at the tip of the pen is worth fifty thalers... You know, a buckskin coat worn by a nobleman is only about 20 thalers.

   On the body of the pen, you can use different buttons to switch the inscription arrays of different thicknesses of the lithography knife, which is also worth dozens of talers.

With just such a pen, you can buy more than half a cow, and the price is comparable to the price of all the materials on a first-level monster... and the light core of a thunder-hunting jellyfish can be refined and processed into elemental crystals, at least it can be made Thirty nibs.

  —What is the added value of technology? What is a cutting-edge processed product? What is sudden profit?

  Since knowing the value of his pen, Ian has a deep understanding of why Viscount Grant is trying his best to train him to become an official alchemist, inscription craftsman, and even a scholar.

   It’s really, really lucrative…

   It has been six years since the teenager awakened his past life memories, and the teacher has been away for four years.

Thanks to Hilliard's dedicated teaching and the silver chip left behind, even if Ian is learning inscriptions and alchemy at the same time, these two subjects, which are hard enough for ordinary people to learn, can easily go hand in hand and directly cross the border. Progress towards full professional grades through apprenticeship and junior professional grades.

  In addition, his sand armor apprentice's true form practice, as well as the practice of the wave-singer, also accumulated abundantly.

  If the large amount of source quality stored in the ancient dragon's core is counted, Ian's real combat power is probably second only to the two second-level powerhouses in Port Harrison.

  Whether it is the elder Pu De, the two assistants of the Viscount, or the mercenary leader Lübeck, at most they will draw their cards and fight him to a close.

   Even, it will be slightly inferior to him.

  The entire Nanling redwood forest area, and the few holy places where the aborigines enshrine the totem spirit and the totem master are not easy to break into. The other areas are basically like walking on flat ground for young people.

   But Ian doesn't like fighting.

  If possible, he would rather read a few more books, do an experiment, or inscribe a few more inscriptions to improve his proficiency, rather than waste his energy fighting.

  His time is precious, he has to do a lot of research, and there will be a series of plans and timetables waiting to be realized in the future, and he doesn't want to waste it on meaningless disputes.

  Of course, this does not mean that Ian is a gentle and nice gentleman.

   On the contrary, this means that if Ian makes a move, his enemies will never have the opportunity to waste his time.

  However, in the past four years, Ian's life has been quite peaceful.

There were no unsightly enemies running over to waste his time, which reassured him that he had accumulated four years of knowledge and technology, and gradually matured his body, completely meeting the next step-up requirements of apprentice Shakai, so he continued to practice conditions of.

   In the same four years, Ian has established his reputation in the 'appraisal circle'.

  Appraisal of stores relies on reputation, reputation and hype, and then earns money from rich people at high prices.

With the support and recommendation of Viscount Grant, Ian, with his psychic power and the assistance of the silver chip, identified ore herbs, unknown brand-new monster materials and some ancient materials for many wealthy businessmen, sublimators, and even alchemists creation.

  In the view of the Viscount, Ian's psychic powers tend to be 'analysis' and 'perspective', and he can see some changes in the psychic field.

   This is a rather advanced observation-type psionic ability. With a little cultivation, one can develop extraordinary eyesight.

   And Ian did not disappoint him.

   Except for a few times that the identification of monster materials was not completely successful, most of the natural minerals and herbs, and even the dilapidated ancient relics, the young man was able to tell the relevant attributes and possible functions one by one.

   Especially ores and ancient relics, because of the ability to see through and analyze, Ian can even accurately deduce the internal structure of an unknown ore, and even discover the precious source matter crystals hidden in the depths.

As for the ancient relics, because Ian can see the changes in the spiritual energy field, he can always accurately judge the structure of all the source matter of the opponent, and then use his knowledge of alchemy and inscriptions to deduce its possible function, accurately rate above eighty percent.

   This is something that many formal appraisers cannot do.

   Today's Ian is well-known in the entire southern border appraisal circle. His strength is certainly a part, but his youth and appearance are even more important.

   There was even a wealthy businessman from Nauman City. After Ian found a piece of natural pure silver crystal among many primitive ores, he not only wanted to spend a lot of money to invite Ian to work in his chamber of commerce, but also wanted to betroth his daughter to him.

  Ian is not stupid, so he naturally declined, and this wealthy businessman didn't lose his goodwill despite regrets. Whenever there is a need, he will always come to Ian for appraisal.

nature.

  These biases are all disguised.

  Actually, with the ability to predict the horizon and the silver chip, there is nothing that Ian cannot identify, there is nothing that cannot be detected, and it is even less likely that there will be mistakes.

   But who would be so stupid to show everything before the fledgling?

  So he deliberately set several shortcomings and advantages for himself, such as the "inaccurate identification of animal-type things" and the advantages of "inanimate things".

The former is the shortcoming of all observation-type psykers who can observe the natural psychic field, while the latter, mainly because Ian wants to obtain more information about the ancient relics of the pre-epoch, so he deliberately shows his advantages to let more Many people sent more unknown ancient relics to him for identification.

  In this way, he might be able to gradually piece together the whole picture of Terra in the previous era by relying on the information library of the silver chip.

This is a very long process. The four and a half pre-era relics identified by Ian in the past four years are fragments of some kind of thermal insulation facility, the alloy fruit knife of the pre-epoch—even the rust and the outer coating have been washed off, Ian really wanted to curse at that time—the ordinary heating kettle, the rotating base of an ancient statue, and the alloy structure fragment of a large engineering artifact.

   These things are really useful, but they are not useless at all!

  But Ian is not impatient. It is impossible to give a novice like him a truly useful ancient relic for identification, and the holder will not come to a place like Harrison Port.

   All he needs now is fame.

   Having a reputation is not afraid of not having a chance.

   Just when Ian was about to pick up a book and do some alchemy problems to relax his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of wind chimes coming from the door of the shop downstairs.

   "Oh? An identified guest?"

  Slightly raising his eyebrows, Ian naturally knew the purpose of the person who came to his store and shook the wind chime in advance.

  The boy raised his head and showed a commercial smile: "Hope is something interesting."

   Put down the book in your hand, and then go downstairs.

  Ian greeted the tall visitor: "I've been waiting for a long time."
