Chapter 16: Bring that little white mouse...no, volunteers!
Kong Ming is simply ecstatic!
Today, when he routinely examined these exotic flowers and weeds on Zhenyu Island, he found that the tuberous rhizomes of a vine growing in the woods of Zhenyu Island contained medicinal ingredients similar to those of ground root grass. The degree is over 95%.
It's a little bit worse, but it doesn't matter, it can be processed by means such as purification.
If the magic node discovered here a few months ago can make Kong Ming's control more powerful, then today's discovery can make Kong Ming himself even more powerful.
Holding the test and comparison data in his hand, Kong Ming felt waves of turbulence in his heart.
Although at the beginning of the journey, Kong Ming said to himself that coming to the Pirate World is very good, better than going to World of Warcraft. But in fact, Kong Ming knew very well in his heart that neither of these two is actually a good thing, but the difference between ten deaths and nine deaths.
Even if the top player in One Piece World is much worse than World of Warcraft, so what? For a human being on earth like Kong Ming who is fighting against the five scums, what is the difference between being hacked to death by a pirate with dozens of fighting power or being swept over by Deathwing with a fighting power of hundreds of millions and then burnt to ashes inexplicably? ?
The difference may be that the former died more painful!
Kong Ming admitted that he was terribly afraid of death.
He was completely unable to do the other seniors of the traversers. Once he traversed, his mentality immediately evolved from a fat house in a city to a warrior who had experienced many battles and lived to death. Even after Kong Ming had traveled for several years, he didn't have the mentality of a fighter.
What Kong Ming can do is just to pile up all kinds of things that can save his life. He desperately learns knowledge, even when he is a tourist, as long as there is time to sit down and rest, he will immediately enter Karazhan and start. Use all kinds of knowledge to stuff his head. When setting up a market stall, he always read a book he copied down in his hand.
He learns lingua franca, elvish language, magic, enchantment, alchemy, engineering, and various traps.
He learns to fight iron, learn firearms, learn swordsmanship, learn implantation, learn medicine...learn all the things he thinks can save his life.
He didn't dare not learn it. He worried that if he didn't learn this thing, what would he do if he encountered a scene that was just right to use in the future?
He forced himself to kill in safety, first by the gangster who tried to rob and abduct him, then by the blackmailing gang, and finally by the pirate who robbed the passenger ship. First he used a rifle to shoot at a distance, then a pistol was aimed at a long distance and fired, and then he was shot on the forehead with the pistol, and finally, when he could face each other, he stabbed the opponent to death with a single knife, his heart did not beat and his hands did not shake.
He doesn't like killing people at all, but he must force himself to get used to it. Otherwise, in this grassy world, what if you fall into a life and death scene?
When he encountered the first attackable plot task NPC Yal Rita, he immediately racked his brains and hugged his thigh.
Yes, maybe Alrita’s second person might think that his meeting with Kong Ming was accidental. Kong Ming is like a light. When she just discovered how malicious the world is against her, she started from heaven. It hit her.
But Kong Ming knew that this was not the case at all.
Yal Rita would never know that one day, when a small tourist who was wandering to the city of Navia suddenly heard her name at the market, there was a twinkle in that person's eyes. She wouldn't know how much investigation work the little traveler did and how much Pele had been spent in the early stage just for the right encounter with her. She would not even know how the little traveller, who had just become a mage apprentice at the time, squeezed his mental power in order to take out the deceitful orb that could change her life from Karazhan’s gallery. Rolling on the ground with painful death and alive.
Alrita might think that their encounter was destined by heaven. But Kong Ming knew in his heart that it was actually a carefully planned scam, from the money of Yallita to the people of Yallita.
Yallita thought it was her scornful reliance on Kong Ming, and she became a partner fighting together, but Kong Ming knew that in fact, Yallita was a physical shield that she had deliberately deluded.
Without him, Alrita might be laughed at, and she might end up on the path of a female pirate, but she would never have started sailing when she was a teenager, and she would never have been out for a short time. Within a year, he suffered more than a dozen knives, and walked to the door of the **** of death several times.
The dozen or so knives should have been cut on the body of the leader Kong Ming.
In this **** world, for Kong Ming, an ordinary newcomer, even if he is fully prepared, there will inevitably be times when he can't take care of it.
Therefore, Kong Ming can now unconditionally indulge Alrita, no matter what she does, he can laugh bitterly, and then start to deal with the aftermath. For example, Yallita secretly collects tons of magic water in the element pool every day. As long as Kong Ming confirms that there is nothing wrong with Yallita, he will pretend not to see it. Try it for someone else.
I am the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. I have nothing for you. You must not grab it yourself.
So although Yalrita is now very strong, Kong Ming never intended to let Yalrita be the same as other captains of the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, but always put her in a safe place. Therefore, even though Kong Ming knew that Alrita's current character was too detached and it was not good, he was unwilling to correct her.
Because although Kong Ming can lie to everyone in this world, he can't lie to himself.
He owed Alrita, several lives.
All this is just because an ordinary person who travels wants to struggle to live in this dark world.
Now, Kong Ming finally took his own destiny in his own hands!
Although all the material issues needed for the meditation potion have been solved, it does not mean that Kong Ming will be able to prepare the herbs immediately, just like in the World of Warcraft game, and then rub them with two flasks. That's it.
The environment of World of Warcraft and One Piece World is completely different, and the plant ingredients of the two worlds are also completely different. Even though the ingredients of the two medicinal herbs are 95% the same, the other 5% of the difference is not disposed of. , The effect of the medicine may be greatly different when the medicine is being prepared.
In the next few days, Kong Ming’s whole body was stuck in the alchemy laboratory. Except for the daily routine meditation, he put aside all work. The whole body was getting thinner and thinner. In the end, Alrita couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed directly into it. The laboratory tried to stun him with a stick and force him to rest. As a result, the trap set by Kong Ming in the laboratory was put down first, and then the harsh siren awakened Kong Ming who was indulging in work, I am afraid that Kong Ming could work overtime in the laboratory to sudden death.
Of course, this is also because Kong Ming himself was too focused, so he didn’t even notice that Alrita rushed into the laboratory. If it were normal, he would have put a shield on himself and put the few at the door of the laboratory. The trigger-type lightning trap, the stun gun on the wall, the glass partition that separated him from the intruder, the pit on the floor, and the alarm on the roof were all turned off.
But since then, Alrita never rushed into his laboratory casually.
This is also a good thing... right!
A week later, a blue bottle of potion was placed in front of Alrita.
"This is the potion you said you can become smarter by drinking?" Alrita salivated looking at the potion, "It looks so good."
"Are you brainwashed by the water in the element pool?" Kong Ming reluctantly covered his face with his hands, "Why do you think the blue water looks delicious?"
"Can you give me a try on this bottle?" Alrita didn't seem to be listening to what Kong Ming was saying.
"Of course...no!" Kong Ming patted a small paw trying to steal the bottle. "This is the first finished bottle. I don't know what the effect will be, so I can't give it to you."
"Is it really bad?" Alrita poked her face with her little paw, "but my instinct tells me that this thing is not dangerous at all."
"Sorry..." Kong Ming replied decisively, "I only believe in science...No...I only believe in magic...No way, anyway, I just don't believe your instincts."
At this moment, an old man in a housekeeper's suit walked in from outside. Behind him were two crew members on the Aegwynn, and a sturdy man in shackles and handcuffs.
"Master, Miss!" The old man politely nodded to Kong Ming and Alrita. "The volunteers you mentioned have already been brought here."
This old man is the former butler of Alrita, and now the first mate Alfred on the Aegwynn, Kong Ming is abbreviated as Ah Fu. Kong Ming didn’t know why Ah Fu was not by Al Rita’s side in the original history. He might have died, or parted ways with Al Rita who became a pirate. But in this time and space, he has always been loyal. Follow Alrita's side.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Afu!" Kong Ming nodded slightly in return.
This little white mouse, it’s not right. The volunteer was once a member of the Batar Pirates. After Kong Ming caught them last time, he specially found a few prisoners who were weak and did not look like revenge on society. Guan In his own mage tower. Even if they came to Zhen Beast Island this time, they were thrown into the prison of the Aegwen and brought over.
No way, it is impossible to engage in pharmaceutical research without the help of the white mice, no, volunteers. Even Kong Ming, a famous entrepreneur in the East China Sea, a world government partner, a famous philanthropist, and a great philanthropist in the East China Sea can only find volunteers among the pirates who do no evil, instead of giving up human experiments.
Kong Ming believes that if these pirate volunteers know what they are doing now and how much they will contribute to the world in the future, they will be grateful with tears that they have given them this opportunity to benefit society.
That's right, the volunteer in front of him was already moved to the point of tears.
"You two, invite me this volunteer to the shelf first." Kong Ming pointed his finger at an ergonomic shelf specially placed on the wall of the alchemy laboratory. "Remember, all hands and feet must be buckled to death. Make sure that the volunteers' limbs cannot move at all..."
Listening to Kong Ming’s words, the volunteer made a desperate sound and struggled backwards, but his struggle was completely useless. With the help of two sturdy men, he was still sent to the shelf. Locked into an X shape.
"By the way, in order to prevent the volunteer from biting his tongue when he is struggling..." Kong Ming picked up a mouth stopper from his desk, "You two will also install this thing on the volunteer by the way. We must be people-oriented and cannot treat volunteers as disposable items."
Kong Ming was very pleased to see that when this volunteer heard what he thought of him, the whole person was touched, really broken, and Kong Ming could clearly see that his whole person was slipping towards the ground.
After the two sturdy men helped the volunteer install the mouthpiece, Kong Ming instructed them to put a gastroscope into the volunteer's mouth, and then put some probes to collect body data by themselves. Give it all to this volunteer.
"He... He... He..." The whole body muscles moved by the volunteer began to tremble...
