Chapter 146 Aching Wish Necklace

After the white light faded, a crisp system notification sounded. Nie Yan quickly checked the system prompt.

System: You have synthesized the Aching Wish Necklace.

As long as the synthesis was successful, there was nothing to worry about if it didn't fail. Nie Yan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He was finally relieved.

Nie Yan looked at the attributes of the Aching Wish Necklace: Alchemist Skill Level +1. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. This attribute was one of the best. There were several Master-level potion recipes in the guild warehouse of Asskickers United. With this necklace, those potions could be produced.

Aching Wish Necklace: Special Item.

Attribute: Alchemist Skill Level +1.

Restriction: Bound on Equip, Skill Proficiency cannot be gained while wearing this item.

Nie Yan immediately sent a message to Bird Wasteland.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Bird Wasteland immediately put down his work respectfully when he saw it was Nie Yan.

"Which of our guild's advanced alchemists has the highest potion success rate?" Nie Yan asked. This Aching Wish Necklace should naturally be given to the person with the highest potion success rate.

"The person with the highest success rate... should be Di Diao De Nan Nan. Under normal circumstances, his potion success rate can reach around 95%. Next should be me," Bird Wasteland thought for a moment.

Di Diao De Nan Nan had the highest potion success rate, while Bird Wasteland had a certain chance of making better potions and gaining a lot of skill proficiency. In comparison, Di Diao De Nan Nan was more suitable to use this necklace.

"I have a necklace here. You guys discuss who is more suitable to use it," Nie Yan said, sending the attributes of the Aching Wish Necklace over and then throwing it into the mailbox. The recipient was Bird Wasteland.

When Bird Wasteland saw the attributes of the Aching Wish Necklace, he gasped. As an alchemist, he understood the value of this necklace. Several of them had been holed up in the laboratory making potions for months, only to reach the level of advanced alchemist. Although many people were only a step away from Master-level alchemist, they found it too difficult to break through the bottleneck. Without special recipes to break through the bottleneck, they could only stand still. Upgrading Master-level production skills was much more difficult than expected. And this necklace could instantly turn an advanced alchemist into a Master-level alchemist, and a Master-level alchemist into a Grandmaster-level alchemist.

It was a pity that skill proficiency could not be gained when making potions while wearing the Aching Wish Necklace. It could only be used as an auxiliary item when making potions. It was normal for the Aching Wish Necklace to have such a restriction. If it didn't, it would be too abnormal.

"Give it to Di Diao De Nan Nan. He can make higher-level potions. Maybe he can make Grandmaster-level potions and Great Grandmaster-level potions in the future," Bird Wasteland said. He still had to manage Starry Night Potion Shop and didn't have much time to make potions. Giving this Aching Wish Necklace to someone else was obviously more cost-effective.

"There are Master-level HP recovery potion and Master-level MP recovery potion recipes in the Asskickers United guild warehouse. Have Di Diao De Nan Nan learn those recipes and make some potions," Nie Yan said. In his previous life, Master-level potions were very scarce and expensive. Master-level HP recovery potions and Master-level MP recovery potions could be regarded as higher-level items in the current stage. People like Brilliant Sacred Flame and Tang Yao already had tens of thousands of health or mana. Advanced HP recovery potions and advanced MP recovery potions simply couldn't meet their needs. But Master-level potions could instantly restore their health and mana to full.

Having Master-level HP recovery potions and MP recovery potions when going to dungeons could allow players to have more sustained combat power, and maybe avoid the danger of a team wipe once or twice.

"Okay," Bird Wasteland said. He went to arrange this matter.

After getting an Aching Wish Necklace, Nie Yan felt much better. He brushed monsters in this area for a while, but he didn't get any more emeralds of life.

Nie Yan packed up his things and prepared to go back. A gust of wind blew past, and the air seemed to be mixed with the salty taste of sea breeze.

Was this place near the sea?

Nie Yan couldn't help but think, recalling the map. This place was a bit far from the sea. The southern estuary was about ten minutes away, but the sea breeze would blow here. It was incredible.

The southern estuary seemed to be Silent Gulf?

When Nie Yan thought of this name, he suddenly remembered that he still had a quest in Silent Gulf. He pulled down the long quest panel and found it, finding a quest clue from it.

Nie Yan's next quest progress was to go to Silent Gulf to find the Dragonkin girl, Benita.

The Ten Holy Knights quest had only just begun. The final Boss of the Ten Holy Knights quest was too strong. Whether it was the traitor Bruin or the Hellhound, they would have to reach level 100 and upgrade to the Shadow Dancer stage before they could kill them. So Nie Yan had not triggered this quest.

Since he was here, he would go to Benita to get some quest clues first.

Nie Yan thought, packed his things, and summoned Faulkner, his warhorse, which had already recovered, and galloped towards that side.

The light in the canyon was a bit dim. Gusts of wind blew, and the trees swayed, making rustling sounds.

Faulkner, the warhorse, swept across the wasteland quickly.

Some movement in the distant jungle caught Nie Yan's attention. Someone!

With a bang, a sphere of elements exploded in the distant forest, emitting colorful and dazzling light. A deafening scream came from the forest. Listening to this voice, it seemed to be the Lord Boss of this forest, the Berserk Black Bear.

Could someone be clearing the Berserk Black Bear there? That was a level 90 Lord. Even Nie Yan didn't dare to easily approach the Berserk Black Bear. The Berserk Black Bear was definitely one of the most terrifying Lords at this stage.

Seeing the dazzling light of the Sphere of Elements, Nie Yan was shocked. It was the Sphere of Elements spell!

Nie Yan was most familiar with the Sphere of Elements spell. In his previous life, when he was over level 100, when fighting with elemental mages, the Sphere of Elements was an essential spell for elemental mages. It was very destructive. If he remembered correctly, the Sphere of Elements should be a level 100 spell, and it seemed that it could only be learned at level 110.

Could someone have already broken through level 100, or learned a level 100 spell ahead of time?

With some doubts, Nie Yan put away Faulkner, the warhorse, and then entered stealth mode, and flew towards the distance.

After traveling through the dark jungle for more than ten minutes, Nie Yan hid in a corner and looked towards the place where the battle was taking place. He saw a giant bear lying on the ground in the distance, its body covered with traces of magic explosions.

Based on the situation on the ground, Nie Yan could see that the giant bear's area of activity had been kept within a radius of ten yards. What strong control ability!

Next to the giant bear, there were two people wearing black cloaks. One of them walked to the giant bear, bent down and picked up something, and then said something to the other person next to him. The two walked outside.

Nie Yan threw a Super Appraisal at them to check their attribute status.

Clasby: Level 120 Lord, Flame Inquisitor, Archmage.

It was an NPC! Nie Yan was shocked. As for the other one who was relatively thin, it was a player, an elemental mage.

Such a combination was really surprising.

Nie Yan couldn't detect the elemental mage's name and information. It seemed that he also had items to hide his name and information.

Just as Nie Yan was using Super Appraisal, the Archmage Clasby suddenly stopped vigilantly, his gaze swept across the jungle, and looked towards Nie Yan's direction.

Not good, he was perceived!

Nie Yan immediately held his breath. Only he understood how terrifying a level 120 Archmage was, especially an NPC. If he approached the Archmage within a range of 60 yards, once a fight broke out, it would be difficult for him to survive.

The most terrible thing about Archmages was that random teleport scrolls were invalid for them. Even if you had already used a random teleport scroll, their magical elements could follow the rules of space and quickly find you and pull you back.

In his previous life, Nie Yan had fought against Archmage-level players. They could play with you however they wanted, and you would have no chance to resist.

Even a level 180 Great Thief might not be able to beat a level 120 Archmage.

This was a difference in level.

This was also why so many people were eager for top professional titles such as Archmage and Shadow Dancer.

"Respected Mr. Clasby, what happened?" the elemental mage next to him asked.

Clasby shook his head and then remained silent.

The two turned around and left here, walking towards the depths of the jungle.

That Archmage named Clasby was too sensitive. Nie Yan didn't dare to follow him. He couldn't help but feel curious and puzzled. How could a player let a level 120 NPC help him fight monsters?

Nie Yan thought for a moment. According to the setting of Conviction, there were several possibilities.

First, the slave system. When players were doing quests, they might encounter some opportunities to take NPCs as their slaves and let them work for them. Just like the Ten Holy Knights quest that Nie Yan had received before, if he could kill the Hellhound and rescue those trapped Holy Knights, he could make Karls his slave. Second, that player was in the process of a quest. Sometimes players would receive some quests in which NPCs would participate, such as escorting an NPC or assisting an NPC in killing some monsters. Third, the hire system. Players could hire an NPC to do things for them by paying some money. For example, Nie Yan's Sacred Hire could hire a powerful Holy Knight to assist in combat.

What was the relationship between NPC Clasby and that elemental mage? Nie Yan could only make some guesses and couldn't investigate it.

Nie Yan felt some threat in his heart. There were so many strong people and geniuses in Conviction. If he didn't work hard, he might fall from the altar, which would be a huge disaster for Asskickers United.

He must advance to Shadow Dancer as soon as possible! Ordinary Shadow Dancer was not enough, at least Saint Shadow Dancer level!

~~The weather was very good yesterday, but today it is windy and rainy, dizzy ah.
