Chapter 3 Departure and Beginning

Pharmacist, or to be more precise, an unlicensed magic pharmacist, Mu Hua was reborn in this world. He was born with a companion object similar to a medicine cauldron.

Is there a cheat code for time travel? The medicine cauldron, it should look pretty high-end no matter how you look at it.

That thing seemed so real and unreal that no one else could see it except Mu Hua.

This made Mu Hua firmly believe that the thing was his golden finger, and he tried many times to activate the golden finger.

Unfortunately, the golden finger seems to have been unable to start.

With the view that opportunities come to those who are prepared, Mu Hua, who yearns for mystery, has been teaching himself knowledge about potions and magic materials since he was a child, trying to lay a solid foundation for his soaring success!!!

But he gave up his normal studies and became a weirdo in the eyes of his peers. Until Mu Hua forced himself to become a 'black market pharmacist' who could make inferior magic potions by hand, there was no sign of the damn 'golden finger' being activated.

The limited time was spent on learning potion knowledge.

But let's not talk about the fact that Mu Hua has no psychic ability and his own magic adaptability is extremely low. In the Lanton Empire, it is illegal for a potion master to prepare anything without paying respects to the army.

After all, potions are magic potions, and making magic potions naturally requires magical materials.

Magic materials are all under control in Lanton, which is why Mu Hua was reluctant to let the blond young man say that the potion he prepared was effective.

By the way, if you are caught sneaking into the "courtyard", the most you will get is confiscation of your gains, a fine, or detention.

As for the private manufacture of contraband, the situation can be serious or minor, depending entirely on the mood of those in official positions.

If you meet someone who doesn't like it, they will force you into military status and keep you by their side as free labor just by giving you a smile. Well, you still need to be grateful, after all, Mu Hua's talent is low enough.

Having learned a lot of illegal knowledge, he couldn't do a normal job, and the income from the black market made Mu Hua look down on the wages of screwing screws.

As a result, when Mu Hua's long-cherished "golden finger" exploded inexplicably, he naturally became a poaching boy in the black market.

Well, it just exploded and dissipated completely, without any reaction at all, as if the existence of that thing for many years was an illusion, there was no way to explain it.

After all, no one had ever seen that thing except him.

His life is falling apart. This bloody life makes Mu Hua's mentality explode.

Unwilling to join the Royal Knights as cannon fodder, Mu Hua became a gangster in the black market, living a life of speculation and profiteering with some "outlaws".

At present, this twisted plain belongs to a relatively safe courtyard.

Although there may be a Goblin King here, compared to those courtyards where demons emerge from time to time, the monsters here are of more uniform specifications and can truly be considered a world suitable for human survival.

Mu Hua is very weak, and even Scarface, the team leader, is actually very weak as well.

After all, the improvement of strength is closely related to talent, time, resources, weapons and equipment. They are unwilling to accept the control of the empire, so their ways of obtaining resources are very limited.

There are strange rules in the courtyard. After the projected monsters are killed, they will turn into dust. It is clean and environmentally friendly, and the dust can also fertilize the soil.

In addition to dust and magic stones, there is a chance that the projected monster will drop some items after death.

Just like the treasures dropped when killing monsters in the game, these drops are sacrificial items when the monster projection descends.

It can be understood as paying money to buy life, so that they will not really die when they are killed in the courtyard. After the projection dies, their bodies will be reshaped in hell.

Biological flesh and blood, finished weapons and armor, gems, magic ores, money, magic books, magic scrolls, natural treasures that enhance physical fitness, and even the experience of giving humans upgrades, the courtyard is like an alternative gaming space.

Because they know that the monsters in the courtyard are from hell, some people speculate that everything in the courtyard is a conspiracy of the devil.

However, the power and wealth within it tempt humans to adventure and explore in the courtyard, making the courtyard closely connected with human society.

Of course, concepts like hell, devil, conspiracy, etc. are too far away from Mu Hua. They just hope to obtain some valuable props in the courtyard.

It would be best if you could improve your own strength. Even if you can't, even some of the materials scattered after the death of low-level monsters can be sold at a good price in the human world. At least compared to the salary of tightening screws, it is definitely good.

Of course, in Lanton, transactions between people like them often have to be conducted on the black market.

Because, in order to prevent ordinary citizens with impaired minds from entering the courtyard and endangering their lives, even the loincloths of the dwarf orcs can only be traded by the Empire and companies approved by the Empire.

Illegal border crossing, illegal hunting, illegal gathering, illegal trading. In short, Mu Hua and his group were illegal from the inside out.

But when Mu Hua saw the leather scroll that Scarface handed to him, his originally calm expression turned into a helpless bitter smile.

"Arrow of Extinction?" The complicated magic patterns made people want to vomit. Mu Hua felt like he had received a hot potato and threw the leather scroll with the magic circle on it back to Scarface. "Do you really know it? Forbidden spell?" Scarface took the leather scroll back, twitched his mouth, and his eyes were also full of disgust.

"Advanced magic, just looking at the picture. Dropped by the dwarf orcs?" When Mu Hua asked, Scarface nodded in confirmation.

"Damn it! What bad luck." Mu Hua cursed.

The Arrow of Annihilation has the destructive power of a tactical missile. It is an advanced fire magic. This is a magic book that teaches advanced fire magic.

Genuine product, top quality.

But, the premise is that the result of your trying to learn it is not a mental breakdown or turning you into an idiot.

Humans have indeed evolved magical adaptability, but most people only have magical adaptability comparable to that of low-level magical beasts.

And magic is still a noble existence in this world.

The prerequisites for safely learning and performing magic at all levels are related to personal intelligence attributes and magical adaptability.

As for advanced magic, haha...

Although Mu Hua's understanding of hell is still relatively limited, it is a fact that many projected monsters in the courtyard can descend again after death.

The items dropped by these monsters after their death are either what they brought with them when they descended, or the necessary sacrifices for their projection, and these drops are sometimes really bizarre.

Or in other words, some 'miracles' would appear in the courtyard from time to time.

For example, ordinary people with more courage can stab orcs to death. However, if they encounter projections, they will sometimes drop gems and rare items that noble ladies will love.

Mu Hua couldn't figure out whether these things were temptations from the devil, or whether some monsters didn't want to show their true selves, so they cheated, stole, or robbed the offerings.

But among these "miracles", the most annoying one is definitely the drop of this kind of "super magic tutorial".

reason?

There is no other reason. Too many of them are dropped, and not enough people can learn them. The properties are too poor, and activating the interpretation may kill people. If you look at the pictures too much, you will vomit. It is a bit annoying as a collection.

Moreover, the magical fluctuations emitted by items of this grade would attract the Knights' flying scouts at any moment.

When the scouts came to their door, it was easy to imagine what Mu Hua and his group of poachers would face.

"Let's retreat." Mu Hua said to Scarface.

"Look, I don't care."

"There's nothing to gain from this trip anyway. If you're spotted by the scouts, you'll just be detained for a few days. But the guide fee is non-refundable." Scarface spread his hands and said to Mu Hua.

"Damn it." Mu Hua cursed. Not only did he pay for the guide fee, he also paid for a set of inferior magic potion.

"I'm leaving. I won't mess around with you guys anymore. See you again if we're lucky."

The sound of the flying shuttle could be faintly heard in the distant sky. Ignoring the scarred face, Mu Hua turned and ran towards the woods, running towards the teleportation point they came from, where a guide was guarding the courtyard with the key.

"Oh? Fate? Where are you going?" Scarface shouted in surprise.

"Loren Planet, the Magic Empire!" Mu Hua replied hatefully. This ghost empire is so annoying.

"Oh? Smuggling? We have a way here, it's safe!" Scarface's eyes lit up and he recommended himself loudly.

"Smuggling? Sponsored by a rich woman, riding on a starship, with all the necessary paperwork." Mu Hua's voice gradually faded.

"Oh, starship? Next time you team up with some corrosive poison, I'll give you a 20% raise!" Scarface chuckled, with disdain in his eyes.

Obviously, he regarded Mu Hua's words as bragging.

In this world full of swords and magic, humans also have the ability to travel between planets.

The three empires are located on three planets respectively, but for most ordinary people in the Lanton Empire, it would be difficult to buy a ticket to board a starship with their life savings.

Not to mention those remote areas far away from the bustling city, the people in some city-states on the star Lanton don’t even have a specific concept of interstellar travel.

The empire, principality, city-state and courtyards of other dimensions, all of which are regulated by the Magic Network, seem to have endless living space, which to a certain extent has also caused huge deviations in the cognition and information of some people.
