Chapter 53 Playoffs (Part 2)
The coachman came back with a pack of hot snacks. Ge Zheng took it back and sat in the carriage and ate it happily. Quickly practice - is there any need to conceive? This is what Ge Zheng was best at when he was in the Gemen, otherwise how could he pass through the Nine Crown Entrance? Then he went to "strengthen training" with Parachelsus. How could Ge Zheng care about this little wind and waves?
The Nar Palace is huge in scale and is divided into two layers inside and outside. The inner layer is where His Majesty the Emperor and his concubines live. The outer layer is home to all kinds of people serving the royal family. In addition to the waiters, there are these royal alchemists, royal magicians, royal chefs and others.
The Royal Alchemy Laboratory can be regarded as the farthest building from the inner layer among all the outer buildings. In the northwest corner of the square underground palace, a piece suddenly appeared. It is said that the Royal Alchemy Laboratory was not here at the beginning, but after several explosions, His Majesty, the second emperor of the Empire, kicked the Alchemy Laboratory here without hesitation.
The carriage was parked outside the laboratory, and Miss Feifei and Dirkmont were getting off the car first. Princess Feifei showed the documents of the principality to prove Ge Zheng's identity.
Before Ge Zheng, two carriages had already been parked outside. Ge Zheng was about to enter when he happened to see a group of people walking out from inside. As the saying goes, the enemy's road was narrow, and the one coming towards him was the Majestic Cow Salad.
Ge Zheng seemed to have not seen her, and walked over with his face. How could Sala let him go? The moment the two of them passed by, Sala sneered and was about to sarcastically, Ge Zheng suddenly pinched his nose and learned to scream: "Moo..."
Sala's face turned pale and Ge Zheng greeted Feifei: "There is not much time left, I'm going to go in quickly." After that, he immediately took the people to the laboratory.
Salad's scarlet nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and his mouth creaked with a creaking sound, gritting his teeth with hatred. A follower behind her flattered: "Your Highness, your princess, don't be angry. Master Lorent's quick-growing top-notch on the mainland, and after the competition, he will not be so arrogant."
"Let's go!" Sala shook her sleeves fiercely.
Feifei and others sent Ge Zheng to the door, and the guards stopped him. Ge Zheng waved his hand casually: "You go back, Dirkmont, the final between you and the Third Prince is four days later, right?" Dirkmont said: "If I can reach the final, that's it."
"Okay, I know it."
Ge Zheng entered the laboratory, and Dirkmont outside was still stunned: What does the master mean?
Ge Zheng thought in his mind that the equipment he refined should not be too bad, at least he would win. Although the Jedi counterattack was even more dramatic in the final, if he lost, Ge Zheng would not want to see the proud face of Cow Salad.
So, winning is the bottom line.
Above this bottom line, there is another online: the upper time limit.
Generally speaking, quick refining does not require quality, and the word durability is never used to describe quick refining works. Deckmont is not wary of His Majesty the Emperor, but Ge Zheng cannot do it. From the top 16 to the final, he has to go through three more battles.
The Alchemist chose the third prince's game in the first game. If the third prince gets three pieces of equipment in three battles, it will definitely be a huge help to him in the finals. Even if Megeff IV only gets two pieces of equipment to cover up, it will be a threat to Dirkmont.
Then, the maximum time limit for quick refining equipment is four days, and after four days of use, it will be scrapped.
There were dozens of large wooden boxes in the laboratory, with the materials for proposition. These materials were collected from the royal treasure house. When Ge Zheng saw so many raw materials, he couldn't help but laugh: there was no regulation on how many raw materials must be used for the competition.
The raw materials collected in the royal treasure house are all high-quality, and even if they are not cherished, they are very expensive. Ge Zheng said, "Medev, I'm not polite to you." Before he started to refine, Ge Zheng began to pour all the raw materials into his storage space in boxes. The ring of his fingers was already full, but there was still a lot of space in the string of square inch of money on Ge Zheng's wrist.
After sweeping away the raw materials provided by the royal family, Ge Zheng began to refine them.
There is a data book in the laboratory, with a few thin pages of paper, which records the professions, levels, riding beasts, and their own tricks.
Ge Zheng made a random look and was even more certain that Mejeff IV really wanted to favor his son. His Highness the Third Prince was already a level 10 general. He, Deckmont and another royal member named Sasfire, are the three most popular people in the quarterfinals, but his opponent Bill Mondo is just a level 8 general, recognized as the bottom of the quarterfinals.
Moreover, the introduction to His Majesty the Third Prince in the booklet is very detailed, and it is undoubtedly intended that the three alchemists refine equipment that best matches the third prince's own characteristics.
Ge Zheng flipped it casually, thought for a moment, and an idea came to his mind. There was nothing in the laboratory, and Ge Zheng was not lacking inspiration, but the only thing that had a headache was the time limit.
The competition is limited to two hours. The three alchemy players refine three pieces of equipment. If the two sides choose two pieces, an alchemist's equipment department will definitely be selected. This person is the first person to be eliminated. After the battle, the three judges will evaluate the pros and cons of the two selected works.
Ge Zheng has been more than half an hour recently, and the time limit is indeed difficult to control. He thought for a while and suddenly slapped his head: "Why must it be natural? Isn't it enough to add a timed self-destruct device to it!"
A timed self-destruct device is not easy to make. If the timing device is so simple, the alchemy timer in this world would not be so expensive.
One of the business plans formulated by Norodom was to open the market from the daily necessities of the nobles. Therefore, Ge Zheng also took the time to study the alchemy timer. There were few materials here, so it was impossible to make an alchemy timer. However, it is impossible to make a "perpetual" timer, and it is still possible to make a timer that can only last three or four days.
Ge Zheng spent an hour to refine a glove that could randomly increase the strength when taking action. As for how much it can increase, it depends on the user's character.
Looking at the alchemy timer hanging on the wall, there was still half an hour left. Ge Zheng rolled his eyes and knocked on the door. The guard outside asked, "What's the matter?" "May I ask, if there is not enough raw materials, can you apply again?" "Wait a minute."
After a moment, dozens of large boxes were carried in...
Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat, so Ge Zheng certainly accepted it with a smile.
On the ring in the sixth zone of Fugui District, Bill Mondo stood in the ring with a calm expression, holding a leather reins in his left hand and a high-quality two-handed sword in his right hand. His riding beast, a fifth-level monster Hong Hao, was spinning in circles uneasy. Because what it had to face was an opponent two levels higher than it, a seventh-level explosion of flame tiger.
His Highness, his third prince, was wearing a chic, bright silver armor, and a helmet with a red hat tassel, and paused in his head towards the imperial city to show his respect for his father.
Bilmondo knew that he could not win, his opponent was two levels higher than him, and his opponent's riding beast was two levels higher than his riding beast. The result was destined before the battle began.
Billmondo is also a small royal family. His ancestors don’t know which generation they have, and they have been in contact with His Majesty the Emperor, so they protect their descendants and become members of the royal family. But how can outsiders know about the bitterness of such royal family members? They have no power, but they have the glory of the royal family and cannot do a lot of work. Otherwise, they will trample on the dignity of the royal family and be known by those powerful royal families, which will lead to death.
Bill Mondo also knew that he could not win the game. He had only one purpose: gold coins. A very real idea: to participate in the game and win the prize. He entered the semi-finals. With the bonus and the benefits he received from all aspects, he had saved up 130,000 gold coins. After this game, the number would become 150,000.
The armor on his body has been played from the preliminary round until now, not to mention changing, it has not even been repaired once. The surface is bumpy and covered with scars. It was a commemoration left by his opponent in the competitions again and again.
His sword was passed down from his ancestors and of good quality. It is a magic storage weapon. After being full of magic power, he can emit three wind spiral blades.
The most nobles of his riding beast Honghao would not choose this kind of monster as riding beasts because they look too much like Pig beasts. Therefore, although Honghao has good strength among the same level of monsters, their price is very cheap as riding beasts.
But Bill Mondo doesn't care, so what if you are ridiculed? If you have been hungry since childhood, but still have to dress up in glory in front of outsiders, you will know that being ridiculed may be a kind of sweet treatment.
Bill Mondo needs a powerful, but cheap riding beast to help him win games and earn more gold coins without spending too much. Honghao is a good choice.
The third prince took the stage. At this time, the third prince had a gentle smile like spring breeze on his face, his long golden hair floated behind his head, tied it with a brown three-hook leather rope, and his blue eyes were full of affinity. He frequently waved his hands around. His handsome appearance and powerful strength, coupled with his noble bloodline, made the people around him excited, and cheers came one after another.
Bill Mondo's eyes seemed a little empty. Before the game, he was not observing his opponent. He planned in his heart: With these 150,000 gold coins, he could run a noble supplies store. Although he was doing business, it was still related to the nobles. He should not let those powerful royal families feel ashamed. As long as he manages his mother's eye disease for thirteen years, he can send his younger sister to Dongsheng Academy, which is expensive to tuition, and repair the tomb where the tombstones of his grandfather and father...
Bill Mondo told himself: I am the eldest son of the family, and I am the younger sister's elder brother. I have the responsibility to do this. I must let my mother enjoy her old age and find an honest and reliable husband for her.
All these wishes can be realized step by step as long as you have these 150,000 gold coins. Billmondo was excited and a light of hope shot out in his eyes, looking at His Highness the Third Prince opposite.
