The Death List Novel - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Roads To Didi
When Qin Lun returned to his villa in the Corner of the Devil, he discovered that there was a carriage parked at the entrance of the villa. The freight carriage converted the carriage of the mechanical horse into a flat carriage with several cardboard boxes placed on it.

“Master, you’re back!” Seeing Qin Lun appear, Didi stood on the stairs and excitedly waved his small claws at him, his big bright eyes shining with joy.

Everything that Little Goblin had was brought to him by Qin Lun. As an apostle servant, he knew that every time his master underwent an alien mission, his strength and status would increase. The stronger his master was, the higher his ship would rise.

“What are these?” Qin Lun asked curiously as he watched the dwarf in charge of transporting the cardboard boxes in and out of the villa.

“It’s some household magic tools, and some … synthetic utensils, herbs, and alchemy materials!” Didi said cautiously as he twisted his fingers.

A strange expression appeared on Qin Lun’s face. “You don’t want to be an alchemist, do you?”

“Yes … yes, master!” Didi lowered his head and rolled his sharp ears back.

Qin Lun was already familiar with Didi. The Goblin-like Lulu Race had a dark complexion, so it was very difficult for them to blush. From their big ears, they could tell that their mood had changed.

Normally, when they were happy, their big ears would shake incessantly, and when they were depressed, their ears would droop. Now that he was rolling it back, it meant that the little fellow was embarrassed.

“That’s a good idea! However, if you want to be an alchemist, just having materials and utensils isn’t enough. You need all kinds of formulas for potions and items!” Qin Lun recalled the potion formula from the Apostle Auction House and frowned slightly. “Let alone herbs and alchemy materials, alchemy formulas are too expensive!”

Didi blinked his eyes and looked at Qin Lun innocently. “Master, I’m not going to make alchemy equipment and potions that the apostles can use. I’m going to make ordinary ones …”

“Oh!” Qin Lun was rendered speechless by his servant’s hiccups and understood that he had misunderstood.

In fact, the high-grade alchemy formulas in the auction were not cheaper than skill scrolls, and there were great restrictions on alchemy materials and medicinal herbs. Not all the ingredients and herbs produced by the Shattered Universe could be used to refine the apostle formula. Normally, only precious ingredients that were deemed special items and treasures by the Law of Shattering could be used to refine the apostle formula.

For example, shattering the organs of high-level creatures in the starry sky, rare precious minerals in the floating continent, and plants and animals specially nurtured by intelligent races. For example, the Red Gobi where Qin Lun had just entered the shattered starry sky produced some special minerals, and the Moonlight Fairy World Tree also produced some special potion materials.

Actually, this had nothing to do with the Laws of the Shattered Universe. The Laws of the Otherworlds directly limited the amount of items that could be brought into the Otherworlds. Not only were there not special treasures, they also didn’t have the qualifications to bring into the Otherworlds.

Generally speaking, few apostles put their careers in these two areas unless they were alchemists or pharmacists before becoming apostles. The reason for that was because alchemists and pharmacists were too difficult to nurture. They did not need to learn alchemy formulas to be able to concoct qualified alchemy equipment and medicines. They also needed a large amount of skill proficiency.

Each skill proficiency represented a successful refinement and countless failures. The material resources involved were astronomical. Not to mention ordinary apostles, even an outstanding figure like Qin Lun could not bear it.

Of course, a mature alchemist and pharmacist were equally formidable, and their contribution to the apostolic team was immeasurable. Qin Lun had to consume ten thousand broken crystals worth of recovery items every time he took a mission to another realm, so how much would a large apostle guild consume?

Having an Alchemist and a Pharmacist in the guild could greatly reduce daily consumption. With these team resources saved, the strength of the entire team would greatly increase.

Of course, the recipes that Didi was going to learn weren’t apostle-specific recipes. Rather, they were recipes for alchemy and potions from the Shattered Star Nation. The apostles, alchemists, and pharmacists did not like these formulas. Items that could not be brought into another world were all unfashionable items to them.

“Since you’ve decided, then let’s do it. However, the alchemy lab can’t be placed in a room.” Qin Lun’s gaze softened as he looked at Didi.

“Yes, Master, I’ve already renovated the basement of the villa!” Little Goblin shook his sharp ears and nodded his green head happily.

Qin Lun only treated the villa as a temporary resting place. Other than his own room, he had left the rest of the room to Didi to clean up. He had never even been to the basement once.

During this period of time, Didi slowly won Qin Lun’s approval. Similarly, Qin Lun also had the idea of bringing Didi into another world. Only then did he implicitly encourage Little Goblin to go to the training ground to train in magic and martial skills. He even didn’t hesitate to allocate a portion of his resources to shattered crystals and exchange vouchers.

However, Didi’s starting point was too low. After all, he was only a weak Sulu Clan, and his physical foundation was even worse than humans. If it could become an expert through the training of magical martial skills, then the Lulu Clan would not be a weak group.

He had probably already gone to the training ground and discovered that he was not a genius in magical martial skills, or perhaps it was not suitable for him to learn magical martial skills at all, so he would find another way to increase his strength.

Didi stayed in the auction house all day long, so he knew how difficult it was to become an alchemist or a pharmacist. However, the little fellow did not have too much ambition. He wanted to refine an apostle-level recipe in a flash. Instead, he started with some local recipes to train his abilities.

This kind of local alchemy formula and potion formula was not necessarily inferior to the apostle formula in terms of effect, but the laws were too limited to be brought into the alien world.

These recipes were also precious items to intelligent races, but it was still easy to collect them in apostolic currency. The broken crystals and urban points in Didi’s hands were enough to buy a few low-grade recipes.

For the apostles, an unfashionable alchemy formula was enough to make a world-shaking change for Didi. Through this kind of cultivation, not only could it lay a deep foundation for alchemy, but it could also use potions to strengthen one’s body, increase one’s spiritual power and magic power, and truly embark on the path of becoming an expert.

When its alchemy level reached a certain level, it could also improve the alchemy formula in its hands until it could concoct a potion that could be used by the apostles. This steady career path was more suitable for Little Goblin than going to the training ground to train in magic and martial skills. This was also the conclusion that Little Goblin had seriously considered.

Qin Lun nodded and walked towards his room. When he was about to walk up the stairs, he hesitated and stopped. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said, “Didi, give me your identity token.”

Didi had processed the identity card of the apostle’s servant at the Corner of the Devil. This card was a combination of ID cards, bank cards, and communicators. It was linked to the identity card of the apostle’s master. As long as the apostle was still alive, Didi’s identity card would not be cancelled, and he would also have resident status in the Corner of the Abyss.

The identity token was connected to the core of the city of the Corner of the Devil. The core of the city of the apostle city was engraved with a large magic array. It had a mysterious connection with the law collection of the shattered starry sky. Apostolic currencies such as broken crystals and exchange vouchers could be circulated in the apostolic cities.

As for the metropolitan points issued by the other apostolic metropolis, they could only be exchanged for equivalent apostolic currencies according to market rules. The circulation range was limited to the apostolic metropolis, the city management race, and the subordinate race. Of course, there are also small amounts of points exchanged in other friendly apostolic cities.

When Didi received his identity card again, he only checked it for a moment before his mouth opened into an O-shape. The originally incomparably large green eyes now occupied more than half of his face, just like the cartoon characters.

“Master, are these all for me?” Didi slowly hung a crystal saliva on his mouth. The little Goblin, who was the size of a human child, accidentally lost his disguise as a good baby. His big eyes looked at the identity token that was shining brightly.

“Of course not!” Qin Lun unhappily gave it a shudder. He scratched out 30,000 broken crystals and 1000 exchange vouchers for Didi’s identity token. Almost all of them were in circulation.

“Next, keep an eye on the auction house. If you have any special goods that are of good quality and low price, buy them for me. If you don’t have any suitable items, these currencies will be sold to you. The profits will all belong to you!” Qin Lun smiled and said, “However, if you lose money, there will be no next time!”

“Master, don’t worry, Didi knows what to do!” Didi straightened his skinny little chest, revealing a cold martyr’s aura. However, after turning his big eyes, he raised his head and asked weakly, “Master, do you have any standards for special goods that are of good quality and cheap price?”

“I’ll leave everything to you. Your opinion is the standard!” Qin Lun smiled meaningfully.

Apart from the Knights’ Iron Cross Medal, a Skill Scroll, and a Skill Scroll, Qin Lun basically didn’t get any equipment. As for the other three small balls of light in the storage space, he had already guessed what they would be.

The Knights’ Iron Cross Medal could not be traded for. The remaining 36,000 pieces of broken crystals and exchange scrolls minus the cost of replenishing the recovery items were probably not even enough to buy a single piece of purple equipment. It was better to hand it over to Didi.

None of the apostles were as familiar with the prices of the Horn of the Devil as Didi, and the other apostles and servants were unlikely to have tens of thousands of shattered crystals. Let’s see if Didi can give him a surprise before he goes on his next alien mission.

Although Didi did not understand the intrinsic value of the apostle’s equipment, this little fellow was very sensitive to market prices. In addition, Qin Lun had realized that it wasn’t a good thing for him to personally participate in the negotiations during his weak stage through the trade of the Exempt Service Token.

Unwilling to take advantage of others, taking too much advantage would attract hatred. In this respect, Didi was much more suitable than Qin Lun. As for whether he could get a surprise, it depended on his luck and whether the surprise was suitable for Qin Lun.

Qin Lun left the happy little fellow and went back to his room. He poured himself a glass of wine, shook his glass and fell into deep thought.
