55. Second Theory

Possession by evil spirits, wandering evil spirits, inexplicable curses, and finally the "kind" ghosts and spirits who let Kiluaite complete his mission.

Even with adequate preparations, Kiruait paid a high price: three months of continuous failures, with 5 victims dead and 1 seriously injured.

Kiruait asked Lu Li to think of a way to prompt the gatekeeper to choose ghost missions. This was the best way to avoid wasting too much time in the level 6 trial.

Sequence potions made Lu Li's success rate naturally higher, but it was not enough. Powerful and effective sequence potions or homologues could ensure that he passed the trial.

And the gatekeepers don't prohibit it, they only care about the results of the task.

Lu Li wrote a request on a piece of paper and handed it to Anthony. He hoped that Professor Chris could help. If not, Lu Li could only find someone else, such as Kane.

[Don’t even try to find Kane:

My dear, wouldn’t it be nice to stay at Giant Tree Academy?

Well, it is indeed a waste to let our legend huddle in a tree hole. Come out of the small dark room and come to my office to take away your sweet reward.

Chris, you can also call me honey]

Then there is the Alchemy Level 3 Trial.

Kiluaite asked the businessman Anthony to give Margaret's manuscript notes to Lu Li. It recorded her experiences and steps as well as her thoughts written in a soliloquy. Margaret seemed to use the notes as half a diary.

.

Because Margaret had stayed in the dungeon forever, Lu Li looked through his notes without hesitation.

The notes of Margaret, a level 6 alchemist, are sufficiently profound, obscure, and useful. Many of the recorded refining techniques and properties of refining materials were mastered by Lu Li. The occasional soliloquies included kept the knowledge learning from getting boring.

[The characteristics of Nepenthes are strong. Adding an appropriate amount of explosive alchemicals will increase the success rate and effect... After the alchemy class, the professor praised the new discovery and told me that all refinings can add corresponding characteristics. It may fail, it may succeed, and it may mutate.

She encourages all alchemists to have their own characteristics instead of being uniform...]

[Alchemy level 3 is undoubtedly more difficult than level 2 and requires higher proficiency. It mainly requires more basic potions to be refined. Kiruaite will have two months to go. I will wait for her. If she can get an excellent

You can get more resources by advancing...]

The pages are wrinkled in the margins, once wet and then dry.

Those were the tears Kiruit shed while holding his notes at night.

[Basic potions are useless, homologues are useless. There are only sequence potions. Silent Forest No. 39 is the best choice, but the price cannot be afforded, even though the rewards will be huge if successful. Kiruait is thinking of a way, but I don’t think she can think of a way.

Try to refine a weakened version of Silent Forest...]

[Dew Night Grass replaces Fluorescent Grass, but it doesn’t work. What’s the problem? Is it a conflict of characteristics or can’t it be replaced? Looking at the dungeon again, we are not the only ones to discover that there are outsiders, weirdos and humans among them, and they have all been assimilated by the dungeon.

We must avoid assimilation...]

[Go to the dungeon tomorrow morning. The Silent Forest makes this operation have a high success rate. Even if it fails, Lu Li's arrival will make Kiruait no longer have to worry about me. 】

The content of the note ended abruptly here, and Lu Li already knew what happened next.

After putting together his notes, Lu Li asked the merchant Anthony to bring him a crucible, hanging pot, firewood, and alchemy materials.

The cramped confinement room soon became almost impossible to stay in. Not only that, there was a lack of ventilation, and the rising smoke from the fire quickly filled the confinement room.

When the smoke was too thick to stay, Lu Li took out the iron key and opened the iron door. Smoke flowed out of the confinement room and filled the corridor.

The dull sound of boots sounded, and the gatekeeper arrived like a shadow, stopped briefly and then left.

Because Lu Li is still in the solitary room.

The diluted smoke floated, quickly attracting the attention of other solitary cells. The merchant brought a note from Fodor.

"What are you doing!?"

"Practice alchemy."

"In the solitary cell...?"

The smoke in the long corridor lasted all day, and finally disappeared because Lu Li mastered the refining of universal basic potions.

Time passes, arriving one day before the end of the confinement period.

The night was quiet, and Lu Li lay on his side on the bed and fell asleep.

Knock knock knock

At a certain moment, the iron door was knocked rhythmically.

Lu Li slowly woke up and looked at the alarm clock on the dim table. It was still late at night, and the confinement period would end early tomorrow morning.

Knock knock knock

There were no footsteps, no breathing, only the slow knock on the door for the second time.

knock

Click.

When the third knock on the door rang, the creaking sound of the iron door opening echoed in the quiet corridor.

"Come in."

Lu Li said to the tall shadow dripping with water in the corridor.

The uninvited guest left the door silently, his figure disappearing into the surging darkness.

This is why the keys to the solitary rooms are placed in the hands of students who are in solitary confinement.

Lu Li called the merchant Anthony and asked him to tell the gatekeeper about the uninvited guest, then closed the iron door and went back to sleep.

A quiet night.

The iron door, which is more symbolic than practical, is opened from the outside.

Lu Li stepped out of the confinement room that occupied one-half of his life in Jushu Academy, and saw Fodort and Yeager appearing in front of their respective confinement rooms.

They finally ended their month-long confinement.

Because of the merchant Anthony, Fodort and Jaeger, who had been in confinement for a long time, were disconnected from the outside world.

Kiruait and Naxi welcomed their return and prepared a table of sumptuous food.

Kiruait, who fully recovered from his injury on the tenth day, expressed his gratitude to them, and then Naxi talked about his experience this month.

Because Lu Li was placed in solitary confinement, the Holy Light Team, whose reputation had improved, was once again spurned, more severely than before. The middle school students faced them as if they were facing a puddle of filth.

But for the Holy Light Team, which only has two members left, this is not a bad thing.

No team will come back to provoke and look for trouble.

Taking advantage of the gap, Kiruait and Naxi completed a large number of tasks, accumulated team points and briefly appeared in the rankings.

Unfortunately it only lasted for two days.

"The middle grades are hunting us. They would rather not redeem team points than let us appear in the rankings..."

"Childish behavior." Fudette crossed her arms and snorted.

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Yeager returned to his bed to continue resting. Fudot remained reserved and sat in front of the fireplace to rest. Lu Li left the lounge and headed to Professor Chris's office, while attending an appointment with the controller.

Gold catching net.

The homologue prepared by Professor Chris for Lu Li.

The monsters caught in the gold net are difficult to escape. Regardless of whether they have a physical form, the disadvantage is obvious: the monster's size cannot exceed the size of the gold net.

Considering that there will be no giant monsters in the Midnight City mission, it is enough for use.

All Lu Li needed to do was to confirm the weirdness, cover up the weirdness, and eliminate the weirdness.
