Chapter 33. Irish Town (15) A deal with Watson

     Watson has been observing Ye Mo.

     Both are survivors, but the gap between them is really huge.

     Every time she faces the monster, Ye Mo always performs more flexibly and outstandingly than the last time. Her long-range and close-range attacks are making great progress. Are her strength and speed abilities so powerful?

     Level 1 water ability is really fragile and useless in the early stage, not as good as the level 1 speed ability he awakened in the reserve copy.

    Ye Mo also spent a little more time on observing Watson and found a little surprise.

     Lack of experience, low-level weapons, and low combat skills.

     Watson is a little weak, but at the critical moment, he can also avoid the monster’s dying critical strike, and kill the monster cleanly and neatly, and he knows the fatal position of the monster very well.

     In addition to water magic, Watson’s agility attribute is definitely different from hers. This difference means that his speed is far inferior to hers at ordinary times, but in critical moments, he can burst into high speed for a short time.

     There is even a bit of the legendary lightness of “not getting a leaf on you”, literally.

     Speed-type ability?

     With a flash of light, Ye Mo quickly deduced that “speed-type ability does not improve the basic attribute of agility, but it will help you control agility”, just like her spiritual ability.

     This Watson has awakened dual-type abilities?

Ye Mo & Watson: … Talent is indeed incomparable!

     It’s okay to sigh, but if they are asked to exchange abilities with each other right now, they will definitely not be willing.

 

…

 

     At night, the mercenary group stayed in a cave.

     The location of this cave is very hidden, and the semi-enclosed cave is not small. It was found by Captain Hook and his team after they tracked and hunted a group of second-level long-eared red rabbits. They need to guard the two cave entrances.

     Survival in the wild is not as good as imagined. The cave has been cleaned many times, but the musty smell in the cold and humid air can still be smelled, and a lot of insect repellent powder has been consumed.

    Deputy Captain Thomson repeatedly emphasized that the toxicity of insects is not weak, and people will be infected without knowing it. If you have high fever, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, limb paralysis, you must speak up and drink the antidote potion.

     At dinner time, Alice was still the most lively one in the team, busying around.

     Unexpectedly, Watson also talked a lot at this time.

     When he learned that Alice wanted to participate in the apprentice assessment of the Magic Association, he told two or three useful pieces of information about the assessment, which he said he got from the members of the Magician Association.

     “Thank you.”

     As a brother, Captain Hook patted Alice’s head and expressed sincere gratitude.

     Watson smiled sincerely: “It’s nothing. I encountered many very lucky things in the small town in Ireland. I hope there will be more magicians in the town and it can be safe forever.”

     Speaking of this, he talked about his “lucky” experience again.

     11 days ago, Watson was just an ordinary clerk in a small potion shop in a small town in Ireland. He was still hesitating whether to quit his job and sign up to be a swordsman mercenary.

     Hearing this, the mercenaries all laughed.

     Perhaps because he had been exposed to pharmacy-related majors since childhood, one day, Watson suddenly came up with one or two innovative ideas.

     He also happened to be favored by a familiar customer and was hired by him to serve as the first non-magic apprentice to work for a magician in history.

     Like the protagonist of a cool drama.

     This magical experience is definitely not bragging. Just go to the town and ask, and you can verify the truth.

     The mercenaries exclaimed: “Wow! This is really not easy! I have never heard of it before.”

     Ye Mo probably knew who he was telling this story to. The purpose was too obvious. Only survivors knew that this kind of luck was definitely created by humans and was very difficult.

     Watson smiled shyly and continued to talk about his life experience: “A few days ago, I was satisfied with the great magician Chris Paul at work. He gave me a bottle of very precious brain-enhancing potion.”

     “The kind of potion that may make people smarter.” Alice accurately described the performance of the potion.

     The chance of making people smarter with the intelligence potion is very low. Drinking too much may make people mentally retarded. Not many people in the town will buy it. Maybe Chris Paul, the potion master, really gave it to me casually.

     “Yes.” Watson smiled and nodded,

     “It was this bottle of magical potion that awakened my talent for water magic.”

     “Because of my good learning ability and knowledge of pharmacy, I was accepted as a magic apprentice by Chris Paul to teach magic and potions. He is the magician I respect the most.”

     “How lucky!” Jack couldn’t help but sigh,

     “Watson, you must be very good to be accepted as an apprentice by the potion master.”

     “Thank you for the compliment. I just became a magician and I am not very skilled in shooting water arrows. I really need a lot of practice.”

     Watson’s words attracted the encouragement of the mercenary group, and he described the same tragic life template as Ye Mo, which gradually shifted the topic to other places. At this time, he was talking less and less.

     [Smile.JPG.]

 

…

 

     Ye Mo waited quietly for a while, and sure enough, she waited for Watson, the survivor who came to her for a ‘chat’.

     She asked directly: “What is your purpose?”

     “A deal.” Watson took the lead in expressing his sincerity: “The intelligence potion has a chance to break through the critical value of the physical attribute. The higher the level of the potion, the higher the chance of breakthrough.”

     Ye Mo raised her eyes and motioned him to continue.

     As she wished, Watson added: “My second water ability came from taking drugs. In addition to the intelligence potion, I have some other potion lists to prevent you from wasting a lot of gold coins.”

     Ye Mo guessed that his real-life career was likely related to medicine: “So?”

     “Goblins are natural craftsmen who can make weapons, and I need weapons now. You need information. The intelligence potion is a bonus. One custom weapon and two potion information.”

     “Customized weapons are not that easy to make, and the demand for weapons is not high.” Ye Mo pointed out the loophole.

     Watson refined the conditions and increased the bargaining chips: “A mid-level knife with electric properties, a butcher knife, a mountain knife, or a Japanese samurai sword will do, in exchange for three new potion names.”

     “Three?” Ye Mo was surprised that he simply gave in.

     “No matter how useful the information is, you have to be alive to enjoy it.” Watson smiled with a bit of helplessness, 

     “50 people, 25 of them are alive now, how many are willing to talk to the end of the food chain? How many people are willing to trade with me?”

     At least Ye Mo is in the top three in strength, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group and she seem to have reliable character, and they just have what he needs. It is not easy to meet such an opportunity.

     Ye Mo: “Deduct the hemostatic potion, deal!”

     Watson exclaimed: “You——” know the effect of the potion. 

     Ye Mo chuckled and pointed out: “You are at least 99% sure that I know this.”

     “Haha, happy cooperation.”

     Talking about cooperation with smart people, you don’t need to waste too much saliva, but there is also the risk of being seen through by the other party at a glance. It is better to play a straight ball than to talk about the heaven, the earth and the people in a roundabout way.

     The conversation between the two did not avoid the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, but some words sounded forced by the system, and they didn’t understand it very well. I only knew that they reached a deal for potions and weapons.

     Captain Hook was very happy: “We, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, have friends who are potion masters and craftsmen all of a sudden. We are so lucky!”

…

     From the second day, we ambushed and killed the monsters.

     With the two conversations last night, Watson’s position in the group no longer seemed so marginalized.

     His water magic and swordsmanship were slowly improving, and in the eyes of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, this kind of progress was normal, and Ye Mo was a “magical goblin warrior”.

     In the evening, after Ye Mo killed a lone magic sheep, she heard the voice of the system. 

 

   【Complete side quest 1: Hunting 2nd level monster (10/10), physical attribute +1, free point attribute +1】.

   【Detected that the survivor Ye Mo’s speed attribute value reached 30 in the “Irish Town Dungeon”, and the ability unlocking failed. 】

 

     “…”

     The speed ability failed to break through again. I don’t believe that it won’t break through after reaching 60, 120, and 240!

     After dinner, Ye Mo returned to the single tent and put away the sword on her body and no longer held it in her hand.

     “Check personal status.”

 

——————————

   Account: Ye Mo

   Intelligence: Hidden (Don’t you know how much IQ is?)

   Spirit: 46

   Strength: 34

   Agility: 30 (+1)

   Physique: 27

   1 free point attribute.

   Ability: 2nd level spiritual system [ABCDE, you are still an F].

   Mastered skills: Primary manipulation [Can manipulate some non-living objects, but it is a fire axe that can float and break]. Equipment column: a broken fire axe, a pair of almost broken spiked shoes (agility attribute +1), an ordinary backpack, a cute little yellow duck.

   Others: omitted.

————————

 

     Physique is still 3 points away from 30.

     This time, completing the side quest in the town copy is no longer an increase in the overall average distribution of attributes. Only 1 physical attribute point and 1 free attribute point are obtained, which may be related to the magic town copy.

     No matter what, Ye Mo deeply felt the importance of the previous reserve copy for newcomers.

     If you don’t work hard at that time and just live in misery, it will be very difficult to narrow the gap later. The most terrible thing is that while you are trying to narrow the gap, others are also making progress, and the gap will become larger and larger.

     In addition, she has a new discovery.

     Everything in the copy that is not produced by the system cannot be displayed in the equipment column.

     But for products produced by the system, as long as you enter the copy, the backpack, fire axe, etc. that are not around will also be displayed in the equipment column.

     Ye Mo silently thought of the little yellow duck in her heart, and the little yellow duck in the underground world did not appear in the tent.

 

【Detected the call of the survivor Ye Mo, do you want to delete a cute little yellow duck?】

 

     “No.”

     The experiment failed, the equipment bar is not a game system space package, and it is impossible to find a game bug this way.

     After reflecting on the new day’s combat experience, Ye Mo took out the “Basic Principles of Alchemy” that she bought with a lot of money, opened the 18th page she saw last time, and immersed herself in learning.
