I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

19 – Before the black dragon opens its mouth, its fangs (3)

In every game, there was an unspoken rule that it was easy to level up in the beginning.

However, alchemy was outside of those unspoken rules.

It wasn’t easy to raise alchemy because it was in the early stages.

No, it seemed like the right expression to say that it was not easy to upload because it was in the early stages.

That’s also true, because alchemy, like swordsmanship, wasn’t a skill you could start training right away just because you made up your mind to train.

‘It’s the same as cooking.’

To cook something simply, you need to make a fire, prepare various tools, and prepare various ingredients.

In order to actually practice alchemy like that, it was necessary to prepare the corresponding facilities and materials in advance.

The problem here is that the player has nothing at the beginning of the game.

Wouldn’t it be okay to take an alchemy class and practice with it?

You can’t level up quickly just by taking classes at school.

In that case, even if it is difficult, why not work as a professor’s assistant?

Even professors have eyes to see, so they are reluctant to accept first-year students who don’t know anything as slaves.

In the end, for one reason or another, Alchemy had to be very difficult to level up in the beginning.

But let’s turn this around and think about it here.

What if you managed to somehow manage to solve these and other problems?

[The level of Skill Talent and Alchemy goes up by one level.]

“In the beginning, there is no talent that is as easy to raise as this one.”

Because I didn’t have to wield a weapon while sweating, I was doing something else, and I just had to stir the ladle a few times at the right time and it was over.

“In addition, you can raise your magic stat by eating the elixir made for alchemy training, so I eat pheasants and eggs.”

Paha-

Well, it’s you, because you’ve been taking only elixirs from yesterday to today, so your stats aren’t even moving anymore.

Still, his alchemy talent continued to grow even after he had reached level 10 and evolved one step.

I brought up the status window after refreshingly drinking the elixir juice that tasted bitter like vegetable juice.

[Status]

Name: Yoojin Do

Level: 7

Attributes: [Novice Alchemist (2★)], [The important thing is the taste (2★)] And 17 others

Strength: 11

AGI: 10

Stamina: 13

INT: 18

mana: 30

[Technical Talent]

-Introductory Alchemy LV. 2

-Summoning LV. One

The status window has grown incomparably to yesterday’s lunch, when I just started taking the elixir.

The first change that caught my eye was the level.

‘I went up together yesterday when I got various achievements by killing Shao Zhan.’

Therefore, there was nothing new about it.

What catches my eye right now are the developed stats below.

’30 Magic power…… I don’t cry for a while, but this makes me cry a little.’

At this level, I felt like I could occupy a middle position among the freshmen in the circle.

‘Well, the other stats are still lacking…… I’ve worked hard to raise my mana to this point, so I’ll be able to raise other things more easily.’

I could have thought that I was doing this on the subject of increasing my mana nearly twice the normal amount in just one day.

But I didn’t increase my mana that easily either.

‘No, is it easy to upload? Umm, then should I say that I didn’t upload it simply?’

Well, that expression seemed accurate.

Because I bought magic stats and time with money.

“The money I spent to raise 15 stats…… Is it roughly 5 billion?”

When I thought about it simply, I burned a little over 300 million to raise a stat now.

‘It’s crazy.’

I would never have done it if I had told him to do it with my own money.

It’s not like you took some guy’s tax saving elixir, but you might be suspicious of someone’s money being broken so much.

There’s a lot to be said about that, but it’s simply because of this damn talent again.

I don’t know if you remember, but I once explained that if you have talent, you can learn more even if you take the same class.

If you think about this word differently, you could write it like this.

Even if you take the same elixir, if you don’t have the talent, the efficiency can drop to the level of maggots.

Ehh-

‘Seriously, this f*cking talent only gets in the way and doesn’t help at all.’

If I had to point out the part that helped me this time, it would be that it allowed me to work with beginner and intermediate elixirs, so that alchemy, which was at a primitive level, went beyond the basics and went up to the beginner level.

And there was only so much that the mana, which should have entered the Danjeon without incident, spread and permeated the whole body like a prisoner who ran away in search of freedom, and suddenly raised other stats.

“Well, I’m not very happy if I consider this to be a gain from my talent.”

While grumbling like that, I put the remaining ingredients into the subspace bag one after another in the order of expensive ones.

As long as you had the ingredients, you could use the facilities inside the circle to make any number of other things, so it was an unconditional benefit to pack everything in a frugal way.

Is it because of the generous grinding of advanced ingredients to make an intermediate elixir? It’s amazing that there’s nothing more special than I thought when I actually pack it in.’

And the most amazing thing was that all the elixirs that were filling this place went into my stomach.

‘How did my stomach end up like this?’

It was amazing.

When you keep working on putting something that expensive in a subspace bag and putting something useless in an empty pot to turn it into something you need.

Ugh-

As he retrieved the gun, Xiao Zhan’s device that he had brought with him rang softly.

‘What is it?’

I wanted something, so I checked the screen after unlocking the device with the cube.

Then, someone saw a sentence that appeared to be a coded text.

‘Let’s see, if you compare it with the code decoder in the cube…… ‘

Ugh-

“Black dog, damage close to destruction, rescue request, 165-785?”

I checked it a couple more times, but fortunately there didn’t seem to be any mistakes in the interpretation, perhaps because the sentence itself was short.

‘No, it’s not fortunate.’

Haa-

‘I’m going crazy. I was smiling at the thought of getting out of here in a few hours, but at the last moment, suddenly, what is this?’

The unlucky guy was said to be unlucky until the end, and that’s exactly what happened.

‘It’s not the other guys who even sent a rescue request, it’s that black dog.’

Black dogs are called hunting dogs along with blue dogs, red dogs, yellow dogs, and green dogs.

Basically, as an all-purpose unit mobilized for numerous missions, there was no doubt about their abilities.

‘Ignoring those guys’ rescue signals and just running away…… ‘

In my original plan, I was going to disappear from here as Shao Zhan.

However, if the Black Dog intervenes and a large-scale investigation is carried out, it may be discovered that it was not Xiao Zhan who fled from here, but someone else wearing Xiao Zhan’s skin.

‘But that doesn’t mean sending someone to help these guys…… ‘

In a little while, I could finish preparing to feed the Black Dragon.

But I was hesitant to say that I had to bring the Black Dog here all of a sudden, as it seemed like it would jeopardize the tower I had built so far.

‘What…… ‘

If this had been for my own personal gain, I would have chosen to leave this post without a second thought.

Because my life is precious.

But this wasn’t just for my own benefit.

When I thought about what was to come, I started because I needed to pull out one of the Black Dragon’s teeth.

“Are you saying it’s a turning point for selection?”

The balance of risk and reward continued to wobble on the scales.

So, it was not easy to decide which one to choose.

It was a time when I was continuing to worry like that.

‘But why did the hounds come all the way here?’

No, a slightly more fundamental question soared.

‘What the hell are you guys doing, getting hurt and coming here?’

Hounds usually move only through the direct orders of top executives.

That meant that these guys had come all the way here to pick up something on the orders of one of the top executives.

‘Even though the black dog came out, it was barely enough to bring it back after suffering near-destruction damage…… ‘

I was reluctant to just pass it on, so I kept thinking about it.

At some point, a memory popped into my head.

-hahahaha! I traded hounds to get this stuff! Thanks to you, it was uncomfortable for a while, but how is it? Doesn’t it seem like it’s worth it?

“…… Could it be that he was talking about this time?”

As I clumsily grabbed the string, I stumbled upon a thought that had sunk beneath me.

“Then, I’m sure they have…… Ha ha, really.”

As soon as the memory came back to me, I unconsciously scratched my head nervously.

‘There is no choice in this.’

If the item they brought was correct, it wasn’t the time to be worrying like this.

‘I have to call them here as soon as possible and take the item.’

I quickly issued an emergency order to everyone inside the building through the device.

An order to immediately go on a rescue mission to the marked location.

Wheein-!

“What crazy! I was sleeping well, but suddenly, what is this!”

“Where is the time to argue with that! It’s an urgent order! If you don’t want to be beaten to death, move quickly!”

Then the building shuddered slightly, and I could feel the people inside moving busily toward the basement.

‘…… Are they all gone?’

After confirming that the voices and vibrations that made the building tremble have disappeared, I warm up and stand up.

“In some ways, I think this worked better.”

Originally, I planned to work hidden from others, but thanks to everyone disappearing, I can now work more comfortably and confidently.

“Then, shall we move for a grand and sure end?”

It was time to give the black dragon a shot that only knew how to open its mouth greedily.
