Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 67: The choice of the main material of the magic tool, the potion from afar

"You'll provide the materials?"

Che Rong's tone was full of doubt.

"Are you sure you have the ability?"

It's not that he looked down on young people. The two magic tools that Li Yu needed required materials produced by at least commander-level demons. Even for him, a master of magic tools, it would take some time to collect them.

What can a young man who can't even afford the magic tools do? He can't just go kill one himself, right? He's not afraid of being eaten by the monsters.

Li Yu didn't dare to guarantee it.

"What materials do you need?"

Since the young man was not willing to give up, Che Rong was too lazy to say anything, just let the other party suffer.
"The other materials are easy to come by. The most important thing is the main materials for your two magic tools."

"First, your shield magic tool. The material source requirements are not high. Generally, turtles, insects, and some armored monsters are the first choice, and other monsters that focus on close combat are the second choice. If you can find the corresponding exotic materials, it would be the best. If not, you can also process it later."

The exotic materials naturally produced in the bodies of demons are the best choice for forging magic tools. They are of excellent quality and can also save the blacksmith a lot of time in processing materials.

However, this kind of innate exotic material is extremely rare and expensive. Except for a very small number of wealthy families, most magic tools are forged using artificial exotic materials obtained by processing demon materials. The quality is much worse, but it is also suitable.

"The real problem is your demon-slaying tool."

Che Rong paused. He had some crazy ideas in his mind, but he gave up.
"The best choice for special demon-slaying tools with sustained combat capabilities is the special bone with special functions. Demon-slaying tools forged with the special bone are also of the best quality, but this method is not suitable for you."

"The output rate of different bones is too low. If you rely solely on hunting demons, you may not be able to get them in ten years if you are unlucky. Even if you put up a bounty or buy it, the price of different bones required for this kind of demon-slaying tool is at least over 500 million."

Che Rong glanced at Li Yu.
"Obviously, you can't afford it."

"Then we can only settle for the next best thing and target some demons with strong innate advantages."

"for example?"

Li Yu couldn't wait to ask,
"For example, the sword-finned shark monster among the sea monsters, and the steel-fanged tiger monster among the Qinling monsters."

"These two monsters don't have any magic, but the sword fins of the sword-finned shark monster and the saw teeth of the steel-fanged tiger monster have evolved the characteristic of [sharp], which allows them to easily break through defenses."

"The sword-finned shark monster is a near-sea monster. Its sword-finned fins can easily cut through giant steel ships. The steel-toothed tiger monster lives outside the Qinling Mountains. It likes to crush and devour the metal ores in the mountains. As a result, it has evolved a mouthful of steel teeth. Its lethality is amazing. Ordinary monsters dare not provoke them at all."

"So, which one do you choose?"

Li Yu really wanted to choose nothing. He didn't know much about the Sword-fin Siren, but he knew the Steel-toothed Tiger very well since he was studying the "Qinling Demon List".

The Iron-toothed Tiger clan are warriors when they grow up, and the best among them is the Steel-toothed Demon Tiger as their leader. Their powerful fighting ability makes ordinary demon tribes avoid their territory. He is indeed dangerous now.

"I choose the Steel-fanged Demon Tiger."

There is no way. Sea monsters like the swordfin shark live in the sea, and Li Yu, a "landlubber", would be a waste if he ran to the opponent's home court.

In comparison, the Steel-toothed Demon Tiger, which lives on the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains and tends to be solitary due to its racial characteristics, is slightly easier to hunt.

"I'll only give you two months."

Che Rong did not object, but said:

"Give me the main materials for your shield magic tool and slash magic tool within two months, and I will forge these two magic tools for you."

"If the materials are not delivered in two months, you can make another appointment."

"Understand?"

"clear."

Li Yu nodded, somewhat gratefully. For this kind of forging master, usually only others would wait for him, but he was willing to give himself a two-month deadline, which was considered good-tempered.

"By the way, even if you provide the main materials, the other auxiliary materials and my processing fees will still cost 50 million. If you can't pay me by then, I will just auction the magic tool off."

"understand."

After Jiang Jian sent Li Yu away, he returned to the reception room and said with some doubt:
"Teacher, are you really so confident that he can provide the materials?"

The red-haired Che Rong rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry!"

"How could I have known that this kid was so stubborn that he actually dared to prepare the materials himself."

The shield magic tool was okay, but the choice of materials for the slash magic tool was intentional by Che Rong, and there was no deception. The swordfin shark monster and the steel tooth monster tiger were indeed the best choices when there were no corresponding bones. The only flaw was that the hunting difficulty was too high. Generally, a high-level wizard with four or five people could be wiped out by the steel tooth monster tiger with only a small commander if they were not careful. The price for a hunter to hunt the steel tooth monster tiger was generally not less than 50 million, and there was no time limit.

Che Rong himself couldn't imagine how this young man who couldn't even afford 200 million yuan could hunt the Steel-toothed Demon Tiger.

"Then why do you give him two months?"

As soon as Jiang Jian finished speaking, Che Rong looked at him like a fool.
"Did the old man say that I would do nothing for these two months?"

"If that kid has the ability to get it here, I can help him do it."

"Even if I can't, what do I have to lose?"

Jiang Jian was speechless after being asked these two questions. Knowing that he had made a stupid mistake, Jiang Jian left in shame.

……

Li Yu had just returned to the dormitory, and Li Ming, who had just finished his meditation, happened to see him and spoke up.

"Li Yu, here is your express delivery."

express delivery?
I haven't shopped online myself.

Following the direction of Li Ming's finger, Li Yu saw a large box with the address of Bocheng and the sender's name of Shi Liang. When he opened the box, he found a suitcase that looked quite high-end.

"Click."

After a slight sound, the suitcase was opened. Ten large glass tubes with a capacity of about 100 ml were neatly placed inside, five blue and five red, lying on a soft cushion. A note was attached to the other half of the suitcase.

Healing potion? Physical recovery potion?
Li Yu, feeling strong and healthy, opened two medicine tubes, one red and one blue, and drank them one after another. After waiting for about ten minutes, the effect took effect.

Quite comfortable.

According to the content on the note, this is a medicine produced by the Shi family's company based on Shi Liang's formula. There are only two types for now, and the relevant procedures have been completed and it is ready to be sold to the market, so Li Yu can use it with confidence.

Then he looked at his roommates and saw that except for Liming, everyone else was meditating seriously. So he gestured to Liming, asking him to come down.

"Ok?"

Li Ming, who was called down mysteriously by Li Yu, looked confused. Was this a meeting or a conspiracy?
Then he saw Li Yu handing him two large test tubes.

"What effect will you try?"

"you sure?"

Li Ming checked the test tubes back and forth. If Li Yu hadn't handed them to him personally, just because of the "three noes" in these two test tubes, Li Ming would probably have fed them directly into the sewer.

"Don't worry, I won't cheat you."

Li Yu promised solemnly.

With trust in Li Yu's character, Li Ming drank the blue potion in the test tube with some doubt. Not long after, his eyes lit up.
"This is a good thing."

After Liming drank the blue potion, the fatigue caused by staying up late was instantly swept away, and he could even do a set of radio gymnastics on the spot.

With the blue potion as a foundation, Li Ming drank the other potion immediately without Li Yu's urging. It tasted a bit like juice.

"I feel nothing."

Li Ming was about to say this when his good roommate Li Yu pulled out a dagger from somewhere, grabbed his hand and stabbed him.

"Ouch~"

Before she could even utter a cry of pain, her former roommate quickly covered her mouth.

"Take a good look."

Look? What are you looking at?
I must die together with you!

Liming, who was stabbed for no reason, glared at Li Yu.

Then, with just one fleeting glimpse, Dawn couldn't take her eyes off.
