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 god, 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 accumulated until now went like this .

【Ichinojo leveled up】

【Apprentice Alchemist skill: 「Instant Alchemy」acquired】

【There are no further levels for Apprentice Alchemist】

【Title: 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?
