Chapter 365: Unimaginably Rich (1/2)

”That was hard,” Alex said as he laid down on his back. He didn't know how many hours he had spent just making this one pill, but this one pill was his absolute masterpiece as of yet.

He looked at the time and was surprised that it was already 5 am. ”Damn, it took me 5 hours of non-stop pill making to make just a single pill?” he exclaimed.

If any experienced alchemist were here, they would cough up so much blood that they could probably make a blade with the amount of iron in it and cut Alex's head off.

”Let's see what I made,” he thought and checked the pill.

[???????????? - 14%]

”Huh? So I made a pill that doesn't exist? Did I make something that is not in the game, or just one they had no records of?” Alex thought. His 'real world' senses were tingling once again.

”Sigh, whatever. I need to know what this pill does,” he thought. There were two things he could do. First, feed a person. Since the only person here was himself, he couldn't do that.

Second, feed a pill swine. Since there wasn't any around. He couldn't do that either. Reluctantly, he took out a pill bottle and stored it in. He felt sad that he managed to make his first pill and couldn't even tell what the pill was about.

Alex rested for a while and at the same time recalled exactly what he did. He tried to think of things that he thought he did right, things he thought could be omitted, things he thought could be improved, etc.

Once he gathered all those information, he got to making the pills once again.

This time, there was no problem at all during the process. In fact, it was much better than the other times. He made the pill once more, and it came out as 18% this time.

He tried to understand what he could improve once again and went on to redo it once again. However, this time, he used his own cauldron instead. Since he knew that the recipe was getting closer and closer to being perfect, he took out his actual cauldron.

He redid his pill 3 more times until he couldn't improve it any more. Once that happened, he took out an empty talisman and started writing the recipe.

He wrote everything he could think of in this talisman and stored it away. Light started shining through the fog and he realized that morning had arrived.

He took away everything and closed his eyes. He started absorbing all the knowledge he had acquired today. He spent the next half an hour doing so, and once that was done, he decided to learn about formations a little more.

Only after that did he log out.

He freshened up and walked out of his room to meet Hannah in the kitchen.

”What are you doing here?” Hannah asked curiously.

”Umm… breakfast?” Alex answered.

”Yeah, but why this early?” Hannah asked.

”For university of co— Oh!” Alex said after he finally remembered that it was Friday today and he didn't have any classes today.
