Chapter 351: 130. Accurate Prediction_2

Should a more gentle approach be taken to steal the Life Elixir from enemies?

No, no, no!

Efficiency always comes first.

As for how many Life Elixirs can be obtained after the battle, it all depends on luck.

One box would be a break-even, two boxes would be a small profit, and three boxes would be a substantial gain.

That’s why they had just witnessed that electrifying scene.

The large white powder shells are called “Thunderstorm Powder Shells”, a type of alchemy cannonball.

They have no inherent lethality, only forming a thunderstorm dust cloud that hovers in the air for about 10 seconds.

Only after being ignited by plasma bullets would the thunderstorm dust cloud unleash its true power.

The Golden Merchant’s Swords have many more powerful alchemical weapons with such a wide range of effects.

Noland Lee was fortunate to see the inventory of the Golden Merchant’s Swords during the battle preparation stage.

The “Gravitational Bomb” gathers all movable targets within a small area;

The “Flame Carpet Bomb” ignites a small area to burn continuously for half an hour;

The “Cold Air Bomb” seals off a small area with a -50-degree cold air stream;

The “Gas-blocking Bomb” prevents the appearance of flames in a large area and prevents all living beings from breathing in that area;

Various alchemy devices can create poisonous fog, strong acid, and mud.

Not to mention alchemy items like high-explosive landmines and fixed flame spray devices.

According to Derek, during the Golden Dynasty period, specialist combat alchemists would rely on alchemy weaponry to confront enemies face-to-face.

Times have changed.

Close combat is now a last resort.

In most cases, combat alchemists use alchemy cannon towers, alchemy bombs, alchemy traps, and various other means to attack enemies from a safe distance.

With the help of Alchemy Stones, each Golden Merchant’s Sword is a mobile alchemy arsenal and can also turn into an armored bear for close combat with enemies.

No matter what kind of enemy they face, they can pull out alchemical weapons tailored to that specific enemy from their Alchemy Stones.

With a wide variety of weapons, comprehensive damage types, convenient ammunition storage, and strong adaptability in combat, these are the advantages of alchemists.

However, correspondingly, the shortcomings of alchemists are also quite obvious.

Each alchemical weapon corresponds to one or several operation manuals, making the learning cost relatively high.

Secondly, each alchemical weapon and alchemical ammunition corresponds to an alchemy production line.

For every Golden Merchant’s Sword participating in battle, there are several other alchemists engaged in production work.

When Noland Lee arrived at the temporary camp in the Savage Stone Wasteland following Derek and his comrades, he saw a large swath of tents set up for alchemy workshops there.

Countless alchemy materials were brought here by First and Second Order alchemists with their Alchemy Stones and made into alchemical items for the Golden Merchant’s Swords in the workshop tents.

The whole makeshift camp was bustling, with only a fifth of the people being combat-specialist Golden Merchant’s Swords, and the rest being non-combat alchemists serving in logistics and support roles.

Comparing this scene with the scenario of a wizard casually casting spells with a wave of a hand shows the advantage of wizards:

Wizards, lone warriors, one person meditating, and the whole family casting.

Alchemists, a team effort, one person shooting, and the whole team busy working.

No wonder Denise’s expression implied “don’t be fooled” when she heard Noland Lee was planning to study alchemy in depth.

Alchemy isn’t as convenient as magic.

While marveling at the convenience of magic, Noland Lee followed Derek into the tent.

As agreed before the battle, he would take 30% of the Life Elixirs and be rewarded with a sum of money.

In the spacious conference tent, Angela instructed her teammates to pile all the spoils of war obtained from cleaning the battlefield onto the conference table.

In front of Noland Lee, the Golden Merchant’s Swords took an inventory of the spoils.

Six metal boxes that survived the lightning storm, in which the vast majority of Life Elixirs were undamaged, contained a total of 300,000 usable Life Elixirs.

Life Elixirs scattered on the sand were severely damaged, and after careful inspection, fewer than 10,000 were usable.

These approximately 310,000 Life Elixirs were all that were gained from ambushing the double-winged mutants this time.
