Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Alchemy Notebook

"Let's see what good stuff can come out of this treasure box..." Zhang Yanhang muttered as he clicked on the first item.

[Item One]

[Option One: 30 Soul Points]

[Option Two: 150 Soul Points]

[Option Three: 300 Soul Points]

"Three hundred Soul Points? That's a lot, isn't it? I seem to recall it only takes a hundred Soul Points to level up? If all five items are worth three hundred Soul Points, wouldn't I be able to get fifteen hundred Soul Points? Should be enough for me to level up several times, right?" Excited by the thought, Zhang Yanhang eagerly clicked on the next item.

[Item Two]

[Option One: Big Saber Goblin's fresh poop (one lump), Quality Grey, Miscellaneous]

[Option Two: Goblin Chief's fresh poop (one bucket), Quality Grey, Miscellaneous]

[Option Three: Dragon Vein Goblin's fresh poop (one puddle), Quality White, Material]

"Despite having the strongest name, why is this Dragon Vein Goblin so lackluster, even 'one puddle'? Must be diarrhea, right? At least the other two have 'one lump' and 'one bucket'. Wait, why am I even concerned about the shape of Goblin poop?" Zhang Yanhang realized his focus was obviously misplaced.

"Guess it's not wrong to call it 'Goblin's prank box'? With the power of multiple choice, even Goblin poop is an option. If other Awakeners were to open it, I bet the only result would be a bunch of poop, all different shapes too."

At that moment, Zhang Yanhang deeply understood what the word 'prank' truly entailed.

"But since that's the case, I might as well just give up on this option." Although the Dragon Vein Goblin's poop might have some marginal use, Zhang Yanhang had no desire to physically handle such a thing, so he decided to forsake the option.

Indeed, as someone who struggles with decisions, if Zhang Yanhang really didn't want to make a choice, he could simply forsake it, and once he did, all three kinds of poop would vanish, meaning he could only open four items thereafter.

[Item Three]

[Option One: Shaman Goblin's Alchemy notebook, Quality Grey, Miscellaneous]

[Option Two: Shaman Goblin's Alchemy Crucible, Quality Grey, Miscellaneous]

[Option Three: Alchemy [Incomplete], Quality None, Skill]

"A Shaman Goblin's Alchemy notebook? Goblins can actually write?" Indeed, what surprised Zhang Yanhang wasn't Alchemy itself, but that Goblins could actually write, as he had always associated Goblins with a lack of "wisdom" and "civilization."

"It seems the Goblins from the area where this Goblin Merchant is located have evolved quite a bit..." In fact, Zhang Yanhang was mainly worried about getting mobbed by these Goblins in the future because, no matter how dumb, Goblins were still smarter than zombies, at least in the sense that they could use weapons which made them considerably more dangerous than ordinary zombies.

Just as Zhang Yanhang was curious about what might be written in this alchemy notebook, he suddenly realized he could view a list of attributes and thumbnails for the item.

[Shaman Goblin's Alchemy notebook]

[Quality: Grey]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Origin: Ashen World, Goblin Plain, Nu Mountain Tribe, Shaman Goblin.]

[Special Attribute: None]

[Usage Requirements: Mastery of Goblin Language, Mastery of Nu Mountain Tribe dialect.]

[Score: None (Note: Grey items have no score)]

[Introduction: A Shaman Goblin mixed the vomit of a chieftain Goblin, who had gotten drunk, with the fresh excrement of a Dragon Vein Goblin to create a batch of magic ink with special properties. Occasionally, it would use this magic ink to record some of its brilliant ideas, fancily calling it an 'Alchemy Notebook'.]

"Seems I underestimated the Prank Box. Not only can it spit out Goblin poop, but it can also produce something even more disgusting..."

Zhang Yanhang had wanted to get a rough idea of the contents written in the Alchemy Notebook through the thumbnail, but found he could not understand a thing. To his eyes, the characters jotted down were just a bunch of meaningless scribbles, completely incomprehensible and unlearnable.

After looking through the Alchemy Notebook's attribute list, Zhang Yanhang glanced at the properties of the Alchemy Crucible and then discovered that the Shaman Goblin had previously used it to brew Magic Ink, which meant that this thing had previously been used to cook poop.

"I give up, can't I get something not related to poop for once? It looks like I can only choose Alchemy since it seems relatively normal." After choosing the third item, Zhang Yanhang immediately clicked to open the next option.

[Item Four]

[Option One: Small Magic Recovery Potion (one bottle), Green quality, Artifact]

[Option Two: Small Magic Recovery Potion (a bundle), Green quality, Artifact]

[Option Three: Small Magic Recovery Potion (a bag), Green quality, Artifact]

"Small Magic Recovery Potion? But I cultivate Spiritual Power, not magic; won't I be unable to use it?" Zhang Yanhang thought the worst-case wasn't that he would have no reaction after drinking it, but rather a potential energy conflict. So, he directly opened the Small Magic Recovery Potion's attribute list to see what the specific effects were.

[Small Magic Recovery Potion]

[Quality: Green]

[Type: Artifact]

[Origin: Ashen World, Goblin Plain, Nu Mountain Tribe, Shaman Goblin.]

[Usage Effect: Recovers 50 Energy Value.]

[Usage Requirements: None.]

[Score: 18 (Green items have scores between 11 and 30.)]

[Introduction: Although the 'great' Nu Mountain Tribe's chief Shaman Goblin 'Maka Bagga' is mostly infatuated with his Alchemy research (focusing mainly on the fecal matter branch), occasionally he finds time to use normal materials to concoct some common small Magic Recovery Potions for other Shaman Goblins in the tribe to use.]

"Is this thing concocted by the same Shaman Goblin again? Although it says here it was made with normal ingredients, can it really be safe to drink?" Zhang Yanhang highly doubted the edibility of the Small Magic Recovery Potion.

"Still, considering it can be used to recover Energy Value, maybe it could be handy in an emergency?"

After reviewing the Small Magic Recovery Potion's attributes, Zhang Yanhang took another glance at the thumbnail. At first sight, it looked like an ordinary blue Magic Potion, with a bundle consisting of three bottles, and a bag consisting of three bundles, meaning that in total, Zhang Yanhang could obtain nine bottles of Small Magic Recovery Potions.
