Chapter 43

"Although one must be a genius in alchemy, this genius must still follow some basic laws."

"My failure in refining the elixir fifty times before was seen by other people in Danyang Peak."

"If my alchemy skills improved dramatically in just a few days, it would still be a bit abrupt and lack a gradual process."

"Besides, just to master the basic alchemy technique, he needs a full 1,000 experience points."

"This is enough to show that the skill of alchemy not only requires a lot of time to hone but also consumes a lot of resources in the process; so many resources are needed."

"Moreover, if I can improve my alchemy skills to proficiency in just a few days, I can certainly explain it as a sudden enlightenment, but what will I do in the future?"

"As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I want to be an alchemy genius, not an alchemy monster."

"So what I need to do now is not to immediately improve my alchemy skill level, but to accumulate experience points as much as possible and then choose a time to improve my skill level."

"This time point... is one month later in the game."

"Not only will this not be particularly abrupt, but it will also fully demonstrate my potential in alchemy."

"And a month in the game is just three days in reality."

"I can still wait for three days."

In this way, it is very clear what Su Chen needs to do in the short term.

Focus on training first and gain daily experience points.

Then, after a month in the game, he will have mastered the alchemy skills.

Finally, after demonstrating his potential in alchemy, he asked the elder of Danyang Peak for a thousand-year-old spiritual lotus to cultivate the Green Lotus Pupils.

No matter how he looks at it, this plan is extremely feasible and safe.

It will not have much impact on his life in the Taichu Divine Sect.

After all, the huge Taichu Divine Sect lacks everything except genius.

As long as he doesn't act too high-profile, he will most likely not be pushed to the forefront when Taichu Divine Sect faces major changes in the future.

Stability is the most important thing in everything, and Su Chen has always adhered to this principle, whether in the game or outside the game.

After all, a dead genius is not a genius. Only a living genius has a future!

"There is no point in staying in the Sutra Library now. It's time to get up and return to the cave to practice well."

After figuring out his future direction, Su Chen immediately controlled the game character on his phone and returned to his new cave.

It must be said that this new cave is much better than the original one.

It also increased his daily practice experience points from 50 to 70 points, which was a huge improvement!

The second stage of the mock exam, the second day, is outside the Wuquan Mountain Secret Realm.

"No, what on earth is student Su doing? What on earth does he want to do?"

"During the first stage of the mock exam, he didn't take the exam seriously and kept playing games. I put up with it because no one said he couldn't play with his phone during the exam to relax."

"During the second stage of the mock exam, he didn't take the exam seriously and kept chopping trees. I put up with it because no one stipulated that students can't chop trees to obtain resources during the exam."

"But I really can't stand his behavior of playing games and forcing other students to cut down trees!"

"Lawless, it's too lawless!"

"It's fine if you've let yourself degenerate and squandered your talent, but how could you drag other students down with you?"

"Points must be deducted! If the school does not severely punish this behavior, then the studious atmosphere that our No. 1 High School has spent a hundred years to build will be destroyed in an instant."

"What do you think of what I said, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Fugui looked at the angry teacher with a square face, and his fat and kind round face was covered with sweat.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied awkwardly, "Mr. Luo is right. I also think Su Chen is a bit too much. How can he force his classmates to help him chop trees while he sits next to them and plays games?"

"Teacher Luo, just wait. As soon as this exam is over, I will confiscate this kid's cell phone and lock him up in the school's practice room for a month to help him change his frivolous personality."

Chen Fugui thought that his words would be highly recognized by Teacher Luo Yang and would calm his anger.

However, after hearing the punishment Chen Fugui was going to impose on Su Chen, Luo Yang, who was originally furious, suddenly changed his disgust towards Su Chen and started to defend him.

"Teacher Chen, you are going too far. Although Su Chen is a playful kid, he is not a bad person by nature."

"You and I are both experienced people, and we should understand that it is better to open up than to block."

"Student Su Chen is so obsessed with games. If you force him to change his behavior, it may make him hate you and the school."

"It is also very likely that his obsession will deepen, and he may even develop a demon in his heart, which will be detrimental to his' future practice."

"In my opinion, after this exam, you can just give him some light punishment, and as for playing games, you can just be patient and teach him a lesson, but don't rush into it."

Hiss, why didn't he realize before that you, Lao Luo, are a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart?

But he didn't intend to do anything to this kid, Su Chen. After all, no matter what, he made him proud in this mock exam!

Although he thought so, the tactful Chen Fugui still followed what Teacher Luo Yang said.

He said, "What Teacher Luo said is true. I will teach Su Chen a lesson and try to make him concentrate and focus on cultivation."

Luo Yang nodded. "Well, that's good. After all, no matter what, this kid is very talented. We underestimated him before."

It was no wonder that Teacher Luo Yang had such a big opinion of Su Chen. It was really because what Su Chen was doing was too inhumane!

In the Xuantian Mirror, Su Chen was sitting alone on a tree stump, looking down at his phone.

Not far from him, five classmates, including Bian Shouyi, were moved by his emotion and convinced by his reasoning.

They were 'persuaded' to join the vigorous chopping business, and they worked very hard.

You want to ask what kind of "principle" Su Chen used.

Then he can only say... Physics!

Is it to be eliminated immediately, or to help me work first and then be eliminated?

Faced with Su Chen's physical admonition with a sword across their necks, most of the students gave their answers.

As for the few people who are unwilling to listen to Su Chen's reasoning?

Elimination Zone Party, welcome to your arrival!

Convincing people with reason and driving them with swords—this is the "reason" that Su Chen understands.

"You help me cut down trees, and I will help you get eliminated later."

That makes sense, doesn't it?

After Su Chen persuaded several classmates in succession, he handed the task of persuading other students to Bian Shouyi.

The promise he made to Bian Shouyi was that he would do it as long as he could get five more people to help him cut down the trees.

Then he can play with him again after the mock exam.

Such conditions are undoubtedly full of temptation for Bian Shouyi.

To the extent that Su Chen didn't need to do anything himself, later on, Bian Shouyi took the initiative to help him deal with the students who came later.

The main thing is to be a hands-off boss and wait for the lumberjacks to come to the door.

Look, isn't here another enthusiastic lumberjack?

"You guys...what happened?"

A student from the earth dao class who accidentally broke in looked in astonishment at Bian Shouyi and others who were working hard to chop trees not far away, his expression full of confusion.

When he saw a new classmate appear, Bian Shouyi silently stopped what he was doing and slowly walked toward him.

As for the other four, they all looked at the unfortunate classmate with sympathy.

Their chopping team will soon add a new member.

Bian Shouyi looked at the new student expressionlessly and said calmly, "Cut down the tree or be eliminated; choose one."

"ah?!"
