Chapter 17
The Effect Of The Golden Corpse Water! The Position Of The Scarlet Lord!
Zhou Zhou looked at the drop rates of the other Desert Fog Lizards. Unfortunately, no Desert Fog Lizard other than that Elite Desert Fog Lizard had alchemy-related items that could be dropped.
He shook his head. It was so difficult to encounter a fog monster that could drop items related to alchemy technology. Moreover, its drop rate was so low.
In other words, he could definitely drop alchemy-related items since he had a 100% drop rate. If it was another Lord, he probably wouldn’t even have an alchemy-related item drop within a year.
However, it made sense thinking about it. If it could be dropped so easily, it would at least be Diamond-Tier Lord Talent instead of a Green Bronze-Tier Lord Talent!
“That’s exactly why its actual effect is at least comparable to a Diamond-Tier Lord Talent!”
“These two Lord Talents are really a perfect match!” Zhou Zhou felt even more satisfied.
More than an hour later, almost all of the 70 to 80 Desert Fog Lizards were killed by Zhang Cang and the others.
Only three Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Fog Lizards escaped. Zhang Cang wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Zhou Zhou.
“Someone will go after them, don’t worry about it.” As soon as he finished speaking, a three-meter-tall silver-gray mechanical bird instantly ran past him and chased after the three fleeing Desert Fog Lizards.
It was extremely fast, disappearing into the desert in the blink of an eye.
“What kind of monster is that? Could it be that the Lord has subdued another bird monster as a fighter?”
“Am I seeing things? Why do I see Sister Bai on that monster?”
…
Zhang Cang and the other soldiers widened their eyes, then they started discussing.
“That’s Bai Yi. As for that bird, it’s an alchemy technology product. You will be rewarded with them as long as you make contributions or advance in strength in the future.” Zhou Zhou said.
Then, he ignored the excited soldiers and got them to pull in the Desert Fog Lizard corpses outside.
After pulling the corpses into the territory, Zhou Zhou was the first to arrive in front of the Elite Desert Fog Lizard’s corpse.
He put his hand on it.
A golden notification appeared.
[Do you want to retrieve the loot?]
“Yes!”
A text notification appeared the next moment.
[Lord Talent Hint: You have obtained these loot – eight units of Mist Cores (Black Iron-Tier), 100 units of Desert Fog Lizard flesh (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade), 10 kg water bag, two Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates (Gradeless), one Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Book, one Sand Stealth Skill Book (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade), one Alchemy Potion Formula, Golden Corpse Water (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade)!]
Whoosh.
The Elite Desert Fog Lizard’s corpse instantly turned into a large amount of loot.
Zhou Zhou ignored everything else and picked up the Alchemy Potion Formula.
A text notification appeared.
[Alchemy Potion Formula: Golden Corpse Water]
[Formula Quality: Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade]
[Formula Effect: You can master the refining method of the Golden Corpse Water upon use. Each drop of Golden Corpse Water can preserve the corpse for 72 hours without rotting or turning into mist that dissipates in the world.]
[Formula Raw Materials: Blood Clotting Grass (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade), Dead Water (Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade), Gold Powder (Normal Material)]
[Formula Introduction: Commonly used to preserve special corpses of value or special status.]
[Learning Requirement: Can only be learned by alchemists, technicians, doctors, and other herb-related life professions.]
The anticipation on Zhou Zhou’s face faded.
This formula… It works but it doesn’t seem to be of much use… Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
At least I won’t have to stay up late to retrieve the loot from the corpse.
Zhou Zhou felt a little better at this thought.
He had to retrieve loot from the corpses within two hours of killing them before they dissipated into thin air.
Doing this for a day or two was fine, but he would probably go crazy if it continued every day.
The Golden Corpse Water was perfect for him to gather dead corpses during the day and extract the loot. It would allow him to rest normally at night.
There were a total of 80 corpses, 65 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizards and 15 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Fog Lizards, left after Zhou Zhou extracted all the loot from the other corpses!
In addition, he had obtained a total of 198 units Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 2,000 units of Desert Fog Lizard flesh (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade), 120 kg of water, 82 Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates, 16 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books and one Sand Stealth Skill Book!
Zhou Zhou first went to the Gate of Summoning and used the 16 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books to summon 16 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Sword Shield Soldiers.
He called Zhang Cang over and asked him to bring the 16 Sword Shield Soldiers into the group.
He then went to the Gnome Alchemy Workshop and found Ashburn Hall, who was refining potions.
“Greetings, my Lord.” Ashburn said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou nodded before handing the Golden Corpse Water Formula to him.
“This is the alchemy potion formula I just obtained. I’ll take care of the materials. Refine some every day. You don’t have to refine too much of it.” He said.
Ashburn took the formula in surprise which heightened when he saw that it was Golden Corpse Water.
“It’s actually the Golden Corpse Water formula. This is quite practical! Your Lordship is so lucky.” He sighed.
As the owner of the gnome alchemy workshop, he naturally knew the effect of his own building.
He was already prepared that he would not be able to learn new alchemy technology or alchemy potions in a year or so. He did not expect to learn something new on his first day here.
“Don’t worry, my Lord. As long as there are materials, I will definitely refine them immediately for my Lord’s use.” Ashburn looked at the Golden Corpse Formula in his hand with a burning gaze.
Then, he chose to learn it without hesitation. Zhou Zhou opened its interface. His skill bar already had the words “Alchemy Potion – Golden Corpse Water (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade)”.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Zhou Zhou said no more and left under Ashburn’s respectful escort.
In the Lord’s wooden house, Zhou Zhou opened his marketplace again and set a trade for the raw materials required for the Golden Corpse Water.
He set the trade at 10 units of Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard meat in exchange for each set of materials to refine the Golden Corpse Water.
It was the same price as the materials for the mechanostrider.
“ROAR!” Nezario’s cry came from the living room.
Zhou Zhou, who was about to think about his future development, had no choice but to walk out of the master bedroom, into the living room.
It was already a mess.
Zhou Zhou looked at Nezario, who was playing happily, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch a few times.
He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the back of Nezario’s neck, which was spraying the chair with Dragon Breath.
“Are you a husky?” Zhou Zhou looked at it helplessly.
Fortunately, the Lord’s house was a product of the Supreme Will. This place would have been burned down by Nezario if it was not immune to such attacks.
Nezario looked at Zhou with innocent eyes and called out again.
Zhou Zhou immediately understood what it meant.
[I’m bored and hungry]
Zhou Zhou’s anger dissipated a little.
He first took out 10 Black Iron-Tier Mist Core and gave them to it.
“Don’t worry! Master will bring you out to fight monsters!” Zhou Zhou said seriously.
Nezario’s red eyes lit up.
“My Lord! Subordinate Bai Yi requests an audience!” Bai Yi’s voice came from outside.
“You’re back so soon…” Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.
He put Nezario down and walked out of the room.
Bai Yi was waiting respectfully for him at the door. “My Lord. I’ve found the Scarlet Lord behind the Desert Fog Lizards!” Bai Yi said in a low voice.
