Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Specially processed ingredients, rare items in the game, generally cannot be obtained through ordinary methods.

Once the player obtains the ingredient, he can start a series of tasks and learn how to make energy-efficient food.

Unlike ordinary ingredients that only fill the stomach, energy-efficient foods bring more benefits to the eaters.

For example, it can improve basic attributes at one time, add powerful buffs, or even be like a legendary holy object, permanently changing the fate and talent of the eater!

Regardless of the grade, specially processed food can make Fan Wei salivate, not to mention this special bug, there are a lot of them in the maze!!

His shock was no less than seeing gold coins falling from the sky!

"It's very rare for a monster to go out of control suddenly. I hope the wizards in the Sage Tower can quickly figure it out."

Roddy was a little worried. If the situation could not be resolved, it might affect their exploration of the maze.

"Well, Lady Irene and I will both do our best."

Lumina smiled and looked at Fan Wei with a mischievous expression, "Mr. Fan, do you want to go see Lady Irene together?"

"Okay." Why not? Fan Wei can't wait!

He felt like a huge exclamation mark appeared above Lumina's head, guiding him to solve the task of special food processing!

Because it was right next to the Adventurer's Guild, the five of them arrived in front of the tower in a short while.

The golden Sage's Tower looks even more majestic during the day. The magic circles and mysterious symbols everywhere inside make it exude a sense of loneliness and advancement that is independent of the times.

"Hello, may I ask if you have any invitations?"

After stepping through the door of unpredictable shape, a cloud of smoke appeared before my eyes, and out of it walked a strange alchemical life form with a tall and thin figure, wearing a black suit and with a vertical clock-shaped head.

"Mo Ke, Mr. Fan and his team were invited by Deacon Irene. A second-level pardon order has been sent to the communication point."

While looking up and talking to the alchemical life form that was over 2.5 meters tall, Lumina introduced them to the others, "This is Mo Ke, the chief tower spirit of the Sage Tower. He is responsible for the operation and alertness of the entire tower."

"Hello." Fan Wei felt Taling Moko looking at him and quickly nodded to greet him.

"Oh~ You are Mr. Misle Fan!" The clock on Taling's face ticked. He couldn't control his joy and bent down his thin body, shaking hands with Fan Wei excitedly.

"You are the only person in the world who can detoxify monsters, and you are the pride of our Maze Street! I am your fan, and I finally get to meet you today!!"

Fan Wei couldn't help but be stunned. Taling Moko's emotions were far richer than he had imagined. He felt that compared to a man-made creature, he was more like a special person!

Holding Mo Ke's hand tightly, Fan Wei smiled happily and said, "I am also very happy to be appreciated by you!"

Oh my god! These are real fans! ! Mr. Fan has real fans!

"Mo Ke has the most comprehensive intelligence system in the entire Maze Street, and its personality was set by the tower master. In a sense, it is very similar to her. They both favor those who excel in a certain field and are among the best."

Lumina looked at Fan Wei with some envy. Being respected and admired by the tower spirit was, in a sense, the highest recognition.

After all, the tower spirit will not lie, and being recognized by it is an absolute honor!

"The pardon has been approved. Please follow me. Each floor of the Vientiane Hall leads to a different space. Please don't go wrong."

Mo Ke touched his chest gracefully and saluted, asking everyone to follow his footsteps.

The light blue mist enveloped the first floor hall, and the ripples like water waves everywhere made the landscape intricate and complicated, giving people the feeling of walking into the door of a maze.

As I walked deeper and deeper, the feeling of traveling through time gradually faded away, and the star-like light in front of me became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a glowing sign.

[Sixth Floor: Potions Department]

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the sixth floor. If you need anything, you can call me in the corridor at any time. I will serve you wholeheartedly."

The tower spirit took a step back and disappeared into the mist, revealing the stone floor with black magical patterns crisscrossing the white.

"Come on, I'll take you to Lady Irene's office." Lumina said like a host.

When everyone walked through the door, they saw a dazzling array of magic alchemy tables. Various alchemical equipment were either standing high or hanging from the ceiling, connected to glass jars.

Beaker, separatory flask, funnel, distiller...

This place seems like a large laboratory, with all kinds of magic symbols and luminous crystals giving it a mysterious atmosphere.

There seemed to be a few potion masters studying something not far away. They all had dark faces and blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"I bet that the medicinal ingredients of the giant's toe are concentrated on the nail. The slime should be processed to moisturize the nail. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why they are consumed separately in the reaction with the blue base liquid."

A potion master suddenly shouted, "This batch of huge strength potions must be improved. Only the fingernail portion should be added!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you think everyone is crazy for putting down their entire toes?"

Another potion master mocked sarcastically, "Cutting corners will only make the potion ineffective!"

The two seemed to have had an argument and were swearing at each other.

"If you succeed in doing this! I will slap myself in the face!"

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that! Look, I'm going to slap you hard in the face!"

The alchemist who proposed the giant toe theory did what he said. He quickly peeled off a nail from a fist-sized gray-black toe, crushed it and fused it with the other materials.

With the help of the alchemical equipment, within a minute, he had a bottle of potion in his hand, and he gulped it down.

The alchemist's face turned even darker, but his muscles swelled up as if they were inflated.

"Haha, how's it going? I succeeded! Hit me! The distance between the palm tip and the cheek must not be less than 18 cm and more than 25 cm, and the force applied must not be less than 5 kg!"

"You! You!...I don't even need you to tell me!"

"I'll hit you if you want, but I won't give in. This will definitely greatly amplify the side effects. Watch me hit you in the face in a bit!"

Amidst the snapping sounds, Lumina covered her eyes, and everyone else looked at each other, feeling disillusioned.

I finally know where the blood on their faces came from, but this is not quite the same as the potion master I imagined... The rigor is not in the right place.

"Well, potion masters are all talented and unruly people. It's normal to have some academic conflicts. After all, no one wants to be submissive to anyone else."

Lumina came forward to explain, trying to save face for the Potions Department:

"The current pharmaceutical theory is actually very confusing. Although potions can be made, the methods and effects of each potion master are different."

"Sometimes, in order to experiment with the best drug efficacy ratio, the masters will have disputes, but everyone is usually very friendly..."

Yes, before the word fell, a crackling sound came from the distance.

"——I'll beat you to death, you bastard!!"

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting, it won't kill anyone!"

The potion master who was making personal attacks in dialect and the potion master who was just watching the fun interrupted Lumina's speech.

"..." The smile on the girl's face gradually changed, becoming more and more sinister.

"Please stop it!!!"

"Ah! Lumina! When did you get here?!"

"Stop it now, be careful or she will report you to the deacon!" Someone hurried to separate them.

Lumina's face almost turned black. She clenched her hands and clenched her staff with gritted teeth, "You're snitching, huh? You're fighting in the dark, huh?! Everyone, clean up the alchemy table!!!"

A sound of wind blew past.

The potion masters returned to their respective positions, looking like good little kids. Their magic skills were generally not high, and they were no match for Lumina.

Whether you can beat him or not is one thing, but if you really offend the little guy, the more terrifying Irene will not be far away!

"Alas..." The girl sighed helplessly and added, "Drink the antidote quickly, or you'll be poisoned to death by the side effects."

All potions have toxic side effects. After all, most of them are made from monsters. Only potion masters who are familiar with pharmacology dare to try the potions themselves. If you drink them recklessly, you will inevitably end up with a black face and mental abnormality.

"Please follow me. Deacon Irene should be waiting for everyone."

Delayed by this trivial matter, Lumina looked apologetic and walked towards the office with Fan Wei and the others.

Thump, thump, thump. Rhythmic knocks on the crimson wooden board. Impatient grumblings came from behind the door.

"You're so slow, Lumina~ As a strong woman, efficiency is a must! Remember not to slack off." As soon as the door was pushed open, Irene's voice came over.

She was about to continue preaching something, but her voice suddenly stopped when she found that Fan Wei and others also walked in.

"Ah, Fan, you're here. I just thought of a plan and wanted to ask you to help verify it." As if she had received a sudden surprise, the smile on Irene's lips unconsciously widened a little.

This guy is really on time~

Today she changed into a slim black long dress, with her neck and arms wrapped in the graceful fabric, and the neckline and sleeves decorated with white lace, making her look particularly elegant.

It is just that due to the limitations of her own conditions, many parts that should be highlighted are not visible because of the clothes.

Only the cuteness and softness still stand out.

"I'm also thinking about asking you for help." Fan Wei was equally impatient and spoke directly.

"About that mysterious beetle (thunder beetle)."*2

They both said this in unison, and were both stunned. Irene smiled widely and jumped off the chair and said, "It seems that we have the same idea."

She took the box from Lumina, opened the magic glass cover, and pinched a beetle in her hand. The crackling electric light was offset by the flashing purple magic circle on her fingers.

"This monster named Thunder Bug is very interesting. I am trying to figure out whether it can be used as a potion material."

She asked a few people to sit down and stretched out her hand to call them. The clock next to her chimed softly, and the light flickered in the room. A complex alchemy table was constructed as if printed.

As the incarnation of Tower Ling Moko, the butler Zhong in the room can summon the magical energy of the Sage Tower, construct a barrier, and provide magical assistance.

Irene threw the bound beetle into the medicine dish, and blue characters displayed information above the alchemy table.

[Thunderworm, a single level 2 monster, the group level cannot be determined]

Irene introduced: "According to the current intelligence, this black thunder bug is a daughter bug. After replenishing enough energy, it will evolve into a golden mother bug and have the ability to reproduce."

"Their reproductive capacity is amazing. They can lay eggs and hatch them in just over ten minutes. And their numbers are so huge that they can completely destroy the ecology of an area in a short period of time."

"Fortunately, when they gather to a certain size, they don't continue to reproduce, but move around like a cloud, attacking any targets they encounter."

"Now the first floor of the maze has been completely occupied by these bugs."

"So serious?" Lumina was surprised. She didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent.

Pushing her glasses up seriously, Irene confirmed, "Not only that, there are already signs of thunder bugs escaping the maze, and some of them were trapped by the barrier set up by the tower master himself, but it is unclear if there are any that have escaped."

"The maze is a bit tricky. It's hard to clear it with adventurers below level 20."

"Then why not send out some high-level adventurers to clean up the mess?" Fan Wei wondered, and then realized that he seemed to have asked another very illogical question.

Rody gave him some scientific advice with a wry smile.

"Because the maze has a level limit, except for the first floor, each floor is separated by about ten levels. Adventurers above level 20 who enter a floor will be suppressed invisibly and will not be able to exert power beyond the limit."

Is this so realistic? Even the level restrictions were set, and Fan Wei felt that the maze builder had strange intentions.

"so what should I do now?"

He also felt that he was helpless. If high-end military force was not allowed to be used, it would be like a strong dragon trying to defeat a local snake.

"So the Adventurer's Guild commissioned us to develop magic and medicine for thunder bugs."

Irene talked about her job and suddenly smiled mischievously, "But I'm not too interested in these. Let the other guys worry about it for now."

"Fan, I would like to ask you for help in researching the medicinal value of thunder bugs~"

With a wave of her hand, layers of magic circles unfolded, and Irene stood in the light. Her powerful aura made her beautiful purple eyes seem to glow.

She smiled, stretched out her hand, and sincerely invited Fan Wei.

"What should I do?" Fan Wei asked with a smile.

"Simple, let's try to see if we can remove the toxicity from this bug. When I was detoxifying the monster before, I was thinking, if I use the monster you detoxified as the material, the potion will not be so toxic."

Fan Wei thought it made sense. It was not easy to synthesize new toxins from something that had been detoxified, but thunder bugs were specially processed ingredients, so he still needed to be cautious.

He thought about it and put on the "academic master thinking" he borrowed from Irene.

It was as if a program named 'I am a top student.exe' was loaded instantly, and Fan Wei felt his mind become clearer, and his perspective on things changed.

Looking at the thunder bug bound in the medicine dish, he was not as cautious and hesitant as usual. Without thinking, he threw a shot of poison removal at it.

"Zizi——" A flash of lightning appeared and the thunder bug suddenly exploded!

The expanding thunder ball was suppressed by the magic circle and turned into ashes in an instant.

"Has it failed? It seems that the energy in its body will produce a self-destructive reaction to external influences." After a calm analysis, Fan Wei saw Irene nodded.

If there are sufficient experimental materials and adequate restrictive measures, there is no need to waste time on finding problems.

It would actually save time to use a more drastic approach to find out the situation first.

"I didn't expect that Fan you have such conditional thinking." Irene felt that Fan Wei's style in this regard was very similar to hers. She taught Lumina for a long time before the child had some rudiments in this area.

But Fan Wei seems to be born with it. Is he really a unique talent?

"It's the magic element that's reacting. I have to find a way to eliminate it." Muttering to himself, Fan Wei began to think about how to deal with the thunder bugs.

As a chef, he has the confidence to handle any special ingredients!

"There are generally three ways to deal with magic element reactions. One is to export it, the second is to neutralize it, and the third is to degrade it." Irene pushed up her glasses and spoke.

"Fan, you have no basic knowledge of magic, so I will just teach you some simple techniques."
