Looking at the beautiful and neat handwriting on the notebook, Luo Xiu stared wide-eyed in confusion.
This is a diary, and a newly written one at that.
Luo Xiu vaguely guessed what was going on, but he still stubbornly continued reading.
Today is my younger brother's birthday, his first day of turning 20. I've decided to start writing a diary to record everything about him... (This paragraph was edited by shenhe)
"Oh shit."
Luo Xiu carefully read the first page, then threw the notebook hard on the ground.
This female psychopath actually wrote an entire diary because she was obsessed with her brother.
Her diary records what she bought and did for her younger brother every day. It can be said that she would fulfill any request her brother made. She even bought him three pieces of Tier 4 equipment.
No wonder she was so poor.
Simply put, she's not only a female pervert, but also a female simp. And considering her appearance, the contrast is huge.
Luo Xiu sighed speechlessly. Sure enough, one shouldn't expect any normal people in this city.
Who would write a diary if they were serious?
Oh, Leila seems to keep a diary too, then it's alright.
Luo Xiu shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, took out the materials he had just received, placed them on the ground, and began preparing for alchemy.
Violent balancing alchemy can be performed without a crucible; the suppression array you just learned can serve as a crucible.
However, Luo Xiu had not yet learned the heating and smelting arrays, so he chose to carry them out in the crucible.
The classic method for making corrosive potions is to evenly coat the crucible with the juice of the succulent, then mix the homogenized alchemical rainwater with half the amount of slime slurry, and then heat it up to carry out the first stage of alchemy.
Once the first stage of alchemy is complete, add the strong corrosive liquid drop by drop, and add the remaining slime slurry the instant the liquid in the crucible turns from red to green.
This process is much more difficult than that of a first-tier alchemical potion, requiring a high level of alchemical sensitivity, timing, and proficiency from the alchemist.
But the brute force of alchemy doesn't involve so many rules.
Luo Xiu poured the juice of the Falling Grass directly into the crucible, shook the crucible to make the juice evenly cover the contents, heated the crucible to the specified temperature, and then added the alchemical rain and slime slurry, which have opposite properties, directly into it.
Boom! !
Boom! !
The liquid inside the crucible boiled instantly.
It's now.
Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed, and a suppression array appeared in his hand, enveloping the liquid in the crucible.
……
Outside the shop, the black-haired woman lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, half of her head covered in Luo Xiu's fist marks, even appearing somewhat sunken, a stark contrast to the other half.
As the sky changed from dawn to sunrise, the number of pedestrians on the road began to increase.
Passersby who saw the woman initially thought it was nothing out of the ordinary, as such things were not uncommon in Kanriel. However, when they saw the dark-haired woman's face, they were all shocked.
The six-pointed star female swordsman was knocked unconscious by someone, which is absolutely explosive news, second only to the death of Kelda.
Some busybodies wanted to use a camera to record this scene so they could sell it to a newspaper and make a profit, but before they could get close, Luo Xiu's voice came from a nearby stall:
"Get out of the way, everyone on the street!! This is going to be an uproar!!!"
Many people flinched at these words, but a few fearless individuals scoffed. In Mammon Street, who hadn't seen frying pans? Even a frying pan made from a third-tier alchemical potion wouldn't blow up passersby.
Then they saw the door of the grid shop open, and Luo Xiu rushed out, covered in sweat, with a cauldron wrapped in a magic circle floating in his hand.
The liquid inside was boiling violently, its shape constantly changing. It tried to break through the magic array several times, but Luo Xiu forcibly suppressed it by stacking the magic array again.
But it was about to become uncontrollable.
When Luo Xiu saw that there were still some people on the street who hadn't dispersed, he was clearly taken aback. He quickly scanned the area, aimed at an open space, and threw the crucible in his hand.
"Get out of the way! Someone's going to die!!!"
Luo Xiu shouted again, then turned around and quickly went back inside.
There was nothing he could do; he knew very well the power of this explosion. Even with three layers of his fourth-tier magic array, it couldn't match the power of the expanding liquid in the crucible, which spoke volumes.
Outside the door, those who remained on the street looked at the crucible that Luo Xiu had thrown down not far away, and were just about to laugh at how such a small crucible could have any power.
But then a loud "BOOM!!!" was heard.
A blinding burst of light erupted.
Like a thunderclap exploding in the sky, half of Mammon Street centered on the crucible trembled, and smoke and dust filled the air. A person who was close by was blasted dozens of meters away.
Inside Tata's room, Tata was reading a book. Hearing the noise outside the door, a slight smile appeared on her face, which was shrouded in shadow.
"Not bad, at least they know to catch up on their homework."
Behind him, Haha blinked his eyes and grinned.
"This power is even greater than what you, Lord Tata, possessed back then."
"Alchemy isn't like an exploding pot where the bigger the fryer, the better."
That's what she said, but Tata couldn't stop smiling.
On Mammon Street, as the lingering smoke dissipated, a large crater appeared where the crucible had exploded.
The uninjured passersby were all trembling with fear, feeling terrified just thinking about what had just happened.
Some people who were closer were so frightened that they were stunned and collapsed to the ground, their legs weak.
What kind of potion explosion is this?!
A question flashed through their minds, but before they could fully recover, Luo Xiu's voice came from inside the grid shop again:
"People on the street, get out of the way!! This is going to cause an uproar!!!"
Come again? !
Those who were slumped on the ground were so frightened that they jumped up.
Luo Xiu rushed out of the door again, holding a crucible exactly the same as before. This time, he saw that everyone was keeping their distance, nodded, and threw the crucible on an open ground.
then……
Boom! !
It was another earth-shattering event.
The dust that had accumulated on the ceiling of the alchemy stalls across half the street was shaken off, leaving the alchemists inside covered in dust.
The alchemists were all puzzled, wondering what was going on today.
Someone came out of the stall to investigate and happened to see Luo Xiu throwing the crucible that was about to explode for the third time.
With a deafening roar, the alchemists who witnessed the explosion were stunned. Then, their expressions changed from shock to delight. They had only just witnessed an explosion, but they felt that they had gained a lot of experience in alchemical failures.
This is the bonus they get from the allure of alchemy, but rarely this much before, and it seems this scramble isn't over yet...
Soon, Luo Xiu's fourth fryer was freshly baked, and the alchemists once again truly experienced the process of rapidly accumulating failure experience, and they were all overjoyed.
The news spread like wildfire, and from Luo Xiu's shop to the surrounding area, a hundred meters to either side, the alchemists had completely surrounded the area.
Someone tried to bring a chair to watch, but was immediately berated by the people around them. There wasn't even enough room to stand, and you still wanted to sit?
They certainly saw the female swordsman Qiao Wei lying on the ground not far away, but for these alchemists, the allure of alchemy far outweighed the question of why Qiao Wei was lying there.
If it weren't for the fear of the swordsman academy behind Qiao Wei, many people would probably have thrown her into the crucible to refine her long ago.
Thus, a spectacle was created on Mammon Street.
A group of alchemists huddled together, intently waiting for Luo Xiu to rush out of the cubicle and throw the crucible.
As the sun sets, it's evening again.
At Tata's house, Tata was still reading the book in her hand, while Haha was silently counting the number of times Luo Xiu had fried the pot.
"The 9th time, the 10th time... the 11th time."
Haha's eyes drooped downwards, and she spoke with some dejection:
"Lord Luo Xiu doesn't seem to be suited for violent balancing alchemy. He's already caused more explosions than you did back then."
"Does exceeding my threshold of two times mean I'm unsuitable for alchemy?"
Tata asked with a smile:
"Do you think I have very little talent?"
"No, no, of course not."
Haha, upon hearing this, her big eyes darted around, her mouth wagging like a fan, and she said ingratiatingly:
"I only hope that Lord Luo Xiu can surpass his master and fulfill your long-cherished wish."
Tata smiled and turned a page of the book:
"He's already better than I was back then."
"Already better than you??"
Haha, I don't quite understand:
"Although Lord Luo Xiu's frequency of causing trouble is getting lower and lower, isn't he still causing trouble?"
"Maybe he did it on purpose."
Tata smiled and shook her head:
"This kid probably just likes peace and quiet."
Inside the alchemy shop, Luo Xiu was intently controlling his magic to draw and outline patterns in his palm.
After finishing the last stroke, Luo Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and happily controlled the red magic circle in his hand.
With a soft pop, a flame emerged from the magic circle.
It became.
Luo Xiu hummed a little tune happily, deactivated the heating magic circle, and took out his pocket watch to check the time.
It's almost time.
