The morning sun shone into the room through the porthole.
Dave opened his eyes in a daze and rubbed his eyes drowsily. He was not familiar with the environment around him, and his heart skipped a beat before he regained consciousness.
He was currently sleeping on the floor in the corner of the laboratory. Last night, he had barely slept against the corner of the wall.
There were no clothes that could block the wind. The walls and floor were cold and hard. When he woke up, he felt a slight ache in his back.
Fortunately, this body was still young and could still withstand this level of discomfort.
Dave reached into his inner pocket to check if the potion and Magic Stones were still there. He heaved a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.
It seemed that the laboratory was indeed safe. Regardless of whether there were people chasing after him yesterday, they did not have the courage to chase him to the twenty-second floor.
This made him feel much more relaxed.
Yesterday, he had continuously refined magic potions until late at night. When he ran out of mana, he would directly use magic crystals to recover until his mental strength was almost exhausted.
Although he had consumed a few Magic crystal Fragments, the results were not bad.
Last night, he refined the Explosive Potion 20 times. Although most of them had failed in the process of refining, he had succeeded a few times.
The five small tubes of Explosive Potion in his arms were all his gains from yesterday.
A quarter, which was a 25% success rate.
It didn't look high at first glance, but one had to know that this was a real potion!
It was not a semi-finished product with a simple process like the spirit water.
At the very least, Dave was satisfied.
During his days as an apprentice in the laboratory, he had heard a lot of things about the success rate from other apprentices that were not mentioned in the books.
The level 2 acolyte named Aiur seemed to be only one or two years older than him.
He had shown some talent in Potionology early on. After he was promoted to a level 2 acolyte, he was taken in by Mrs. Izu and had been in the laboratory for more than half a year.
However, he was only at the level of being able to refine apprentice potions.
The success rate of his refining was so terrible that it was not even one-tenth.
Not to mention breaking even, he didn't even dare to refine too often in the laboratory. Otherwise, the loss of the materials and equipment would be too big, and he wouldn't have an easy time with Mrs. Izu.
He could only bitterly buy the materials with his own Magic Stones to continue practicing.
Dave felt that his success rate was not bad!
There were about twenty sets of materials left in the lab. Dave decided to work harder and finish them in one morning.
He didn't have any classes today anyway, and there were usually no other apprentices in the laboratory in the morning, so he didn't have any psychological burden.
In the face of a life and death crisis, in the face of completing a mission, what was a little bit of overworking?
..
[Congratulations on completing the mission!]
[Mission Reward: 300 Potionology experience points, 200 general points.]
When a portion of the potion was filled, the system's voice finally sounded.
Dave's hands were shaking in excitement, but he was still able to keep his composure. He didn't let the explosive potion fall to the ground and cause a tragedy.
This time, the mission was finally completed!
Dave carefully put away the potion and opened the system panel.

[Points: 200]
With the completion of the quest, the 300 Potionology EXP reward was automatically awarded. Dave's Potionology EXP was increased to 386 points.
Dave felt a clear stream of energy flowing into his brain.
This time, the feeling was much stronger than the previous 100 Potionology EXP increase.
However, perhaps it was because he had not upgraded his subject level. He did not feel that his brain was buzzing again.
It was just a simple feeling of comfort. This feeling came and went quickly. After it was done, there was an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
There was no new knowledge in his brain, but Dave knew that if he were to read Lin En's Potionology now, he would find it much easier to read.
Dave quickly adjusted himself and focused on the other reward.
[Points: 200]
This was the first time he had obtained points from the system. Just as he was still wondering how to use it, a line of small words quickly appeared in the [Points] column.
[Points can be used to exchange for any inspiration. (Note: You can directly ask the system for inspiration.)]
" Inspiration? Ask the system directly?"
Dave was surprised, but then he was delighted.
This lousy system had been here for a year, and they could finally communicate?!
"System? Are you there?
"Can you speak?"
He tried to shout twice, but the system did not respond.
Dave tried a few more times before he finally gave up. He realized that the inquiry system should only be limited to the so-called " inspiration ".
"But what is this inspiration?"
The inspiration that people usually talked about was often a magical state that occurred in an instant, such as a stroke of brilliance during research and development or art.
Many works of art and scientific creations were often produced under such circumstances.
Dave felt that the term was a bit abstract. In the context of the system, inspiration seemed to be an item that could be exchanged.
If it were him, the last time he was inspired was when he found that he could produce the Modarsu Potion stably by improving the concentration process of the spirit water.
"Right!"
Dave took out a tube of explosive potion.
He didn't have the chance to test the power of these potions. He only knew that the explosive potion was one of the more powerful ones among the acolyte-level offensive potions.
It should be more powerful than an ordinary acolyte-level spell.
According to the power of an acolyte's spell, which was usually in the range of 1 to 1.5 joules, the power of the explosive potion should be around 2 joules.
Was there any way to further increase the power of the explosive potion?
Dave had a similar idea when he was making the potions.
However, in order to complete the mission, he did not delve further into this.
And now, as he thought about this, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Methods to Purify Explosive Potion During Refining. Required Discipline Level: Potionology Level 2.]
[Points required: 50 points]
"As expected!"
Dave was delighted!
This so-called inspiration was indeed what it meant!
Unlike ordinary people who would occasionally burst out with inspiration, the system could inject him with inspiration when he needed it.
In other words, if he wanted to achieve any kind of " invention " related to the subject, he could spend points to exchange for the corresponding " inspiration " from the system!
In layman's terms, he could use points to exchange for specific knowledge from the system!
