Chapter 31 Alchemy

?Alchemy.

....

[Ace POV],

[Basic Mana Circulation Technique],

[Basic Alchemy Knowledge],

[Basic Support magic],

.....

To be honest, aside from Alchemy, which is there merely because of my curiosity, Basic Mana Circulation Technique and Basic Support Magic are going to be really valuable to me if they are what I expect them to be.

The good news is that they only require one free item ticket.

If my reasoning is true, this demonstrates that they are pretty normal.

Despite it having "Basic" in its name, Alchemy was deviating from the rules.

The number of free item tickets required to redeem the Basic Alchemy knowledge is three.

That's a lot.

But, if I follow the saying, "the more expensive it is, the better the quality," I'll redeem it.

Though this proverb is slightly unreliable, it is more or less correct.

The primary issue preventing me from moving further is my uncertainty about where the knowledge received from the Basic Alchemy Knowledge will satisfy me.

It's more reasonable for me to redeem the mana circulation technique and basic support magic because they're cheap, but I'm apprehensive to do so.

Since science is the only thing I have except my family, it has become the thing that I am closest to.

I wouldn't be Ace Blaze, one of the youngest inventors in Dawn Empire and the world as a whole, if it weren't for it.

A young genius.

I don't care about the title because it's only a title, but it does reveal my identity.

The biggest thing that made me feel at ease was experiencing, learning, creating, inventing, and being with my family.

Furthermore, even if I use the free item ticket to redeem Alchemy, it won't be a loss because, according to the Primordial Chronicle, it has several techniques and some knowledge of other topics like potion making, formation, rune, and others.

The price difference between the three demonstrates this.

Basic Mana Circulation and Basic Support Magic both cost 15 Gold coins, whereas Alchemy costs 250 Gold coins.

There are 250 gold coins! That is pricey.

The currency gap between them is enormous.

Even if I discover a way to gain money, I doubt I'll be able to accumulate 250 Gold Coins in a short period of time.

God Knows maybe right now it's even on discount.

However, the price is still reasonable because formation, potion making, and rune were all over 30 Gold coins to 50 Gold coins the last time I checked, with potion making being the cheapest.

It should be noted that these three are not the only things in Alchemy.

So, as long as time permits and I discover a way to earn coins in the future, I'll be able to redeem this two.

Basic Support Magic and Basic Mana Circulation Technique.

This could be me seeking an excuse to redeem Basic Alchemy Knowledge, but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't go as planned.

In the first place, I can't even feel regret.

I'd be uneasy if I missed out on this opportunity to learn new things, especially about this new world for free. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

After deciding what to do, I willed my thoughts back to Basic Alchemy Knowledge.

.....

[Redeem 3 free item tickets for [Basic Alchemy Knowledge]?],

[Y/N],

....

This appears to be a hasty decision, but I chose to redeem nevertheless, and as soon as I did, the scene on the panel in front of me changed, but I didn't have time to see what was on it because I felt a flood of unknown knowledge appear in my head.

This is not the first time I've experienced this, so it may be less painful than the first, but it was still uncomfortable, albeit tolerable.

I waited a while after the pain subsided before checking the foreign information in my head.

After going through some of the unfamiliar information in my head, I understood that this world wasn't as simple as I imagined.

Unlike the mana manipulation scroll that gave me the knowledge on how to use my mana to manipulate fire, this was different.

Roughly going through the new information in my head, I realized there are a lot of things I don't know about this new world.

That's normal because I don't know everything and, like everyone else, I'm bewildered about what's going on.

My initial thought about all of this was that the World was just evolving, as were the lifeforms inside it, and that it was all governed by a higher form[ Primordial Chronicle].

That is hardly a reasonable concept coming from someone like me who believes that logic can explain everything.

However, there are occasions when you have to bend to make things plausible.

This abrupt notion came to me as a result of the new information I had just obtained.

Alchemy was similar to what I expected.

Science or perhaps, magic science?

To study science is to seek the truth about everything in the world.

How it came to be, what it is made of, and why it was made.

Alchemy is also similar.

Just that it has a connection to mysterious energies like mana.

This is based on what I've recently discovered.

In general, everything produced through alchemy is graded.

However, the information I obtained concerning rankings from the Basic Alchemy Knowledge ranged from Rank 0 to Rank 2.

It also correlates with species ranks, allowing me to finally understand what the rank in my status signified.

Alchemy develops things related to the species' rank.

Rank 0 is typically assigned to an unranked specie.

Rank 1 is typically assigned to a Rank 1 Specie.

Rank 2 is typically assigned to a Rank 2 Specie.

And, according to what I've learned, there are additional ranks.

Right now, it is evident that I am an unranked specie, which is surprising given my level of power.

It should be noted that I am more than ten times more powerful than the average human.

If an average human at level 1 can run a mile in 12 minutes, then a level 2 human should be able to run a mile in 6 minutes.

A level 3 should be able to run a mile in under 4 minutes.

A level 4 should be able to run a mile in under 3 minutes.

A level 5 should be able to run a mile in 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

A level 6 should be able to run a mile in under two minutes.

....

....

.....

A level 10 should be able to run a mile in roughly 1 minute and 20 seconds.

Considering am 14 times more powerful than the average human, I can run a mile in a snap.

And I'm still unranked according to the Primordial Chronicle.

This world is far from easy.

I still have a lot of things in my head that I need to go over, but first, I need to get one of the most crucial things in Alchemy.

A Cauldron.

With these thoughts in mind, I went back to the store section on my status and selected item in the store.

Unlike the knowledge section, above the dense amount of items listed was a search bar.

Seeing this I thought of the word 'Cauldron', in the search bar and when it appeared, new items also appeared below the search bar.

I wonder if my free ticket is enough.
