National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3347 Interest

"You're also interested in alchemy?"

Celia noticed the alchemical books Adam was reading and suddenly realized something.

Did he minor in alchemy?

That makes sense.

Much of the knowledge in alchemy is recorded in books, and it is indeed difficult to improve through practical experience.

However, these days, thanks to the existence of simplified parchment scrolls, alchemy has been largely phased out.

"Yes, there are some."

Adam looked up at Celia and asked, "Do you know about the Alchemy Society?"

"Of course I know. What, do you want to join?"

Celia said quite naturally, "Mael is a fourth-year student at the academy. His alchemy group at the academy is always recruiting new members. If you want to join, I think he would be very welcoming."

Adam asked again, puzzled, "Meyer?"

“Mael Jeklis, he’s from the Jeklis family. Joining the Alchemy Society is by recommendation, so it’ll be easier for you to join through his recommendation, but you’ll have to prove your abilities first.”

Fang Heng and Zane exchanged a glance.

So lucky?

"Is he also from the academy?"

"Yes, but Mair isn't easy to approach. He's only interested in alchemical magic circles, and he should still be at the academy experimenting right now. Shall I take you there?"

"Can I trouble you?"

"Let's go, but I also hope you can do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

Celia looked at Adam, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes, "I heard you're also preparing for the advancement to an eighth-tier Oracle. I'd like to have a match with you."

"No problem, you choose the time."

……

Fang Heng learned from Celia that the academy's management of the various research groups was very loose, and they were more like after-class research study groups.

Celia led Fang Heng from the back of the academy back to the east side, until they arrived at a new campus.

Fang Heng looked up at the building and said, "It's a bit luxurious."

Celia seemed to notice Adam's expression and explained, "The activity space for each research group needs to be redeemed using academy points. The academy will also reward points based on the quality of the students in each research group and their contributions."

"The alchemy research group doesn't have many members and doesn't contribute much to the academy, but Mair is rich, and the Jeklis family provides a fund to the academy every year, so the academy naturally won't make things difficult for Mair."

In Celia's view, alchemy is a supplementary academic discipline that requires a lot of talent and has a very slight effect on improving one's strength.

As for making money, that's something you can only achieve in the later stages of learning.

The early stages of alchemy are incredibly expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary families.

As she entered the alchemy research group building, the students gathered in the lobby became wary upon seeing Celia approaching, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The various research groups in the college often visit each other to compete, and sometimes they even make bets.

Celia is renowned, and her combat prowess ranks among the best in the academy.

After being bothered so much, everyone became a little nervous.

Meyer is rich and easily impulsive, often agreeing to bets with others.

But they almost never won.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to challenge you." Seeing the group's tense expressions, Celia felt a little disdainful and asked, "Where's Mair?"

"Oh, Mair is in the lab, saying he's preparing for war..."

The students breathed a sigh of relief. One of them adjusted his thick glasses and said, "I'll go and call him over for you."

"Preparing for war?" Celia frowned. "What? Has he arranged another fight?"

"It was a few people from the elemental faction who were talking badly about us behind our backs, and the guild leader overheard them. He was furious and challenged them to a fight."

Celia was speechless.

Did they happen to overhear you talking behind my back?

Are you sure this isn't a setup?

"Who?"

When Mair was summoned to the hall and saw that it was Celia, his face immediately darkened.

"Celia, what do you mean? Do you really think our Alchemy Research Society is easy to bully? I admit I was careless last time. Do you dare to limit your strength to below the third rank and fight me again this time? I refuse to believe that you really think alchemy can't be used in real combat?"

Celia was quite helpless.

Mair is known at the academy for being a spendthrift; he gets easily carried away by anything related to alchemy.

It must be said that Mair is indeed very talented in alchemy, and coupled with the family atmosphere, he was nurtured and cultivated in alchemy from a young age.

During his freshman year of college, Mair designed several alchemical magic circles and made a fortune just by selling the blueprints.

But in terms of combat...

A duel?

Just kidding! Has Meyer ever won?

“Next time,” Celia said, glancing at Adam beside her. “I have other things to do today. Let me introduce you. This is Adam, an exchange student from Holy Eagle City.”

Huh? You're not here to cause trouble?

Meyer paused for a moment, then turned to look at Adam.

"I am Adam, and I am very interested in alchemy. I heard that you are a descendant of the Jeklis family and have great insights into alchemy, so I came to see you as soon as possible. In fact, I have some questions about War Spirits and Heroic Spirits. If possible, I would like to discuss them with you..."

"Academic exchange? Great!"

Mylton's eyes lit up immediately. "Come on, follow me to the back room, let's talk in detail."

"Cough cough."

Beside them, a female student with short hair coughed lightly, interrupting Mair, "President, let's not rush, why don't we do a test first?"

Upon hearing this, Mair seemed to realize something and looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Test, yes, yes, test, let's test first."

Because of his tendency to get carried away, Mair has made countless mistakes.

Many people come to the alchemy research group under the guise of alchemy exchange to swindle money, and Mair always accepts them without hesitation.

Shen Qingqing asked, "Adam, excuse me, but let me ask first, what level have you reached in alchemy?"

"Level? Uncertain."

Huh? Unsure?

Meyer was also taken aback.

On second thought, it seems to make sense.

Alchemy is a niche field, and since Holy Eagle City is a small city, the tradition of alchemy is limited. Many people are confused and don't know what level their academic level has reached.

"Alright, come over and test it."

Shen Qingqing led Adam to the side and pointed to the magic circle engraved on the wall, "This alchemy magic circle is a bit damaged. Can you tell me how it can be repaired?"

Fang Heng looked at the wall.

A large magic circle was painted on the wall, but a large part of it was intentionally blurred out.

Adam minored in sealing arts, so he also had some understanding of alchemical magic circles.

However, the broken magic circle on the wall was beyond his skill level.

Seeing Adam pause, Mair said, "This alchemical magic circle is a bit difficult. If you have trouble repairing it, don't force yourself. Adam, just tell me your thoughts."

"Ah."

Adam gave a soft "hmm," took two steps forward, and placed his hand on the magic circle. (End of Chapter)
