Chapter 231
(231) Ichino’s alchemy training chapter 2
Translator: Tseirp
After spending the promised three hours, I returned to the smuggling group’s hideout and called out to Suzuki who was waiting outside .
“Thank G.o.d, so you were all right . ”
Suzuki said with a relieved look .
All right? … My lips were stolen but I guess that doesn’t really count .
“Were you worried about something?”
“Well, Kusunoki-kun’s presence disappeared once you entered the room so I was worried that something happened . ”
“So you have presence detection skill as well huh … you didn’t enter the room right?”
That was careless of me .
With the presence detection skill, it would be clear as day that I was not in the room .
Thankfully I did shut the door to My World behind me .
But judging from how he didn’t say anything when I exited the door, I guess he didn’t open the door?
“You didn’t knock?”
“Yeah, I thought that I would be bothering Kusunoki-kun so I refrained from doing so . ”
” … You wouldn’t . ”
This guy, just what did he think I was doing inside the room until he hesitated to even knock?
It looks like he does not wish to relinquish his DT Hero nickname . (TL: DT = virgin)
“Then, I won’t knock when you are inside the room even if there is a fire . ”
“Yeah, well, I’m confident that I can escape from a fire on my own . ”
I was just joking … I too have the confidence in escaping from something like a fire on my own .
Suzuki entered the room .
At the same time, I started hearing rustling noises just behind the door .
Well, this room does not have a lock so he was probably taking out items from his item bag to block the door .
I won’t peek even if he didn’t do something like that … I’m straight after all .
As such, I’ll get some work done in front of the door .
The 500 kg of silver ore that Pionia mined — I’ll convert them into pure silver .
Since I had raised my Alchemist level, that should be an easy thing to achieve .
“All right, I guess I’ll begin . ”
Naturally, I did not forget to set my jobs as Apprentice Alchemist Lv37 and Alchemist Lv33 .
I held the two lumps of silver ores in both my hands and cast the Alchemy skill .
By using two Alchemy skills at the same time and spending two times the MP, I could smelt two ores simultaneously .
“Hmm, the magical power consumption is a lot more severe compared to when I made iron from iron ores . ”
My MP was being consumed ten times the speed as compared to when I was smelting iron from iron ores .
If I did not set my third and fourth jobs as Fire Magician and Water Magician, I would probably collapse from magical power depletion once I created about ten pure silvers . The fact that my magical power was just robbed by Neete just now also contributed to it .
With the MP of a low-level Alchemist, they would be hard-pressed to smelt a single ore in a day .
One of the reasons why silver was expensive might not be because the silver ore reserves were low but because smelting silver was so difficult .
【Ichinojo leveled up】
Hn? Just by smelting two, Apprentice Alchemist reached Lv39 while Alchemist reached Lv34 .
The experience value was a lot greater than expected .
I see, so it’s not only the precious metals that give a lot of experience points .
If a regular Alchemist can only smelt two silver ores into pure silver in a day, in just these few minutes, I have finished four hundred days worth of smelting .
Then it’s no wonder that my level rose .
“Does this mean the long-awaited bonus time has come?”
I muttered to myself and smiled .
But I guess I got a little carried away .
I quickly reached a state close to magical power depletion .
“Kuuu, this won’t do . It’s a lot tougher than expected . ”
After creating 40 lumps of silver, I felt that I would lose consciousness if I used any more magical power .
However, with the work I just completed, Apprentice Alchemist reached Lv40 counter-stop and Alchemist became Lv48 .
The messages that I have acc.u.mulated until now went like this .
【Ichinojo leveled up】
【Apprentice Alchemist skill: 「Instant Alchemy」acquired】
【There are no further levels for Apprentice Alchemist】
【t.i.tle: Peak of Apprentice Alchemist acquired】
【Alchemist skill: 「Precious Metal Conversion」acquired】
【Job: Synthesizer is now available】
【Alchemist skill: 「Alchemy II」has skilled up to「Alchemy III」】
【Recipes acquired】
And ah I unlocked a new job .
I didn’t know what a Synthesizer would do exactly but I could tell that it was a job that can combine more than two items into one .
I’ll level it up later and increase the number of my skills .
Instant Alchemy seemed to be a skill used to complete the alchemy work instantly . However, when using Instant Alchemy, I would not receive experience points and it would cost twice the magical power so I’ll be sealing it . I’m not going to use that .
Precious Metal Conversion was apparently a skill to convert base metals such as iron and lead into silver and gold using a catalyst .
I had Precious Metal Conversion recipes but some tool called the Philosopher’s stone was needed to convert lead into gold .
Yeah, it was called that .
… Should I try reaching the Peak of Alchemist?
