  "Dancing Fire Star, the shattering of the test tube will cause a violent explosion, which can cause a large amount of fire damage to the enemy. It is most suitable for dealing with wild beasts and primary monsters in the mud swamp.

  Although the price is a little expensive, it costs fifteen magic stones, but the effect is really good and can be used as a killer weapon!"

  The brown-haired girl introduced enthusiastically.

  "It sounds great, but do you have any other recommendations?" Richard continued to ask.

  The brown-haired girl nodded and continued, "Of course there are. For example, Silver Moon Dust is also very suitable for dealing with primary monsters."

  The girl turned around and took out a small package of powdery substance wrapped in oil paper from the cupboard behind her and placed it in front of Richard.

  Richard looked carefully and found that the black powder was mixed with silver particles.

  "Don't underestimate this small package because it's small in size. It's quite powerful. In addition to being used against monsters, it can also be used against dark creatures or undead creatures.

  Because the powder contains tiny silver flakes and pure silver particles, once it explodes, the silver flakes will splatter and cause massive damage.

  Silver Moon Dust only costs eight magic stones, which is nearly half the price of Fire Dance Star. Junior, why don't you consider it?"

  The brown-haired girl thought that Richard felt that the price of Fire Dance Star was too high, so he chose Silver Moon Dust, which was only half the price of Fire Dance Star, and strongly recommended it. However, she certainly did not expect that Richard was not here to purchase, but to investigate the market conditions.

  In the brown-haired girl's expectant eyes, Richard thought for a long time and finally said, "Um. Does your store sell alchemical raw materials?"

  Suddenly, the brown-haired girl's expression was like a deflated ball, and she asked unhappily, "What raw materials do you need, junior?"

  "Five flame flowers, one broken star wood, and half a sulfur brick." Richard said this after calculating the ratio. It was enough to make five servings of Fire Dancing Star.

  "Hey! Junior, are you going to make a Fire Dance Star? However, as someone who has been through this, I still suggest that you lay a solid foundation first.

  Several groups of freshmen came here before and bought a large amount of raw materials, but the success rate was really terrible. Some were even burned by the explosion and had to rest for a long time! "I don't know if the brown-haired girl was deliberately attacking or giving a kind suggestion.

  Richard smiled but said nothing.

  "And as a newcomer, if you want to learn alchemy, you can start with pharmacy. At least it will be safer. If you learn alchemical bombs first, an accident will cause an explosion and the injuries will be much more serious!

  Last time, there was a newcomer who blew one of his eyes blind while making an alchemical bomb! "The brown-haired girl continued to chatter while helping Richard find the things he had just mentioned from the cupboard: flame flowers, broken star wood, and sulfur bricks.

  "Junior, that's thirty magic stones in total."

  "Okay!" Richard counted and handed thirty magic stones to the brown-haired girl. He looked at the remaining eleven magic stones, which could be used to rent the laboratory on the first floor of Celes for five days.

  With the help of the inspiration panel, there will be absolutely no problem in thoroughly researching and producing this Fire Dancing Star in five days, Richard thought to himself.

  After getting the raw materials, Richard went straight to the primary alchemy room.

  When he arrived at the alchemy room, he happened to see Senior Meiluo who had just finished her experiment and walked out. Seeing that Richard was ready to start, she immediately advised him, "Richard, why are you starting so quickly?

  Isn't it too fast? I think it would be safer to wait for senior Brett, who is also studying alchemy and bombs, to come and have him guide you!"

  "Um, senior sister, I'll try the extraction first. Don't worry, I'll be careful." Richard said with a smile.

  "Then you should be careful. When Senior Brett comes, I will come with him to guide you."

  "Really not necessary!"

  However, Richard's persuasion was ineffective. Meiluo still insisted on waiting for senior Brett to come back and then calling him to give Richard some guidance.  

  Richard smiled bitterly and could only reluctantly agree to Meiluo's kindness.

  After Meiluo left, Richard spent two magic stones to rent the use of a primary alchemy room for one day. After he closed the door, he began his first alchemy experiment.

  [I found that the host was making the Alchemical Bomb Dancing Fire Star. Yes/No, I consumed energy to gain inspiration for making the Alchemical Bomb Dancing Fire Star? ]

  This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 10000 at both ends of the slider, Richard thought for a moment. Since he didn't know how much energy would be needed to trigger inspiration when making the alchemical bomb, he decided to test the waters first.

  He immediately dragged the slider to 200 and selected "Yes!"

  In an instant, Richard arrived in a dream space as if his soul had left his body. This space was also an alchemy room, and the equipment inside was exactly the same as the one he rented from the outside world.

  The first step was purification. Richard first crushed a flame flower gently with a wooden pestle, then added 80 ml of distilled water, diluted it, filtered it, drained it, and removed impurities. After a while, he obtained the turbid flame oil.

  The second step was extraction. Richard used his mental power to adjust the mesh of a sieve to the appropriate size, and then gently poured in the turbid flame oil. With the blessing of inspiration, after only a few attempts, he grasped the essence of using mental power to control the size of the sieve mesh.

  Step 3.

  After all the preliminary preparations are completed.

  Richard began the matching work, which was a very important task. He followed the matching ratio of 5:1:4 used by mentor Celes in the video, from the initial stumbling and multiple explosions, to the occasional mess once or twice, and then to basically no major mistakes.

  Soon, the dream ended, and Richard returned to his body. He opened the inspiration panel and saw

  [Skill] Fire Dancing Star Production (37%)

  Interestingly, Richard discovered that the making of alchemical bombs was also classified in the [Skills] column, and perhaps because he currently only knew how to make one alchemical bomb, the Fire Dancing Star was directly displayed. He thought that the panel would display alchemy or alchemical bomb.

  However, this is actually better, because Richard's current main goal is to increase the success rate of producing the Fire Dancing Star, and this display is more intuitive.

  Richard once again spent 300 energy points to trigger inspiration.

  The focus this time is on the ratio of raw materials. Originally, Richard was making it according to the 5:1:4 ratio used by mentor Ceres, but when he entered a state of inspiration, he had many different thoughts.

  Richard kept trying to optimize and make mistakes.

  Since it was a dream, if the experiment failed, it would just explode. It didn't matter!

  So, Richard started to manipulate it in various ways!

  "Boom!"

  "Bang!"

  "Bang!"

  The sound of explosions of various sizes, ping-pong, continued to be heard in the dream space, and then changed from a machine gun to a shotgun, and slowly the explosions calmed down.

  In the end, Richard discovered the best ratio accurate to the single digit: 52% flame oil, 12% star fragments, and 36% liquid sulfur. After adjusting the Fire Dancing Star according to this ratio, the explosive power was directly increased by 17%.

  This is already very good. Richard thought about it and realized that it is completely unnecessary to carry out further optimization at the decimal level.

  Even after the optimization, the improvement is minimal, only between 1% and 2%!

  After returning to the main body, Richard called up the panel again and saw the words "Improved Version" next to the Fire Dancing Star!

  [Skill] Fire Dancing Star (Improved Version) Production (Skilled 89%)
