The Upgrade System - Chapter 18

“I will take the Introduction to Alchemy book.”

After Dan selected the book, he took it outside to tell the village chief about his choice.

As that happened, the system told him that the quest was completed.

[Quest: Pick an item from the treasury]

[Status: Completed]

[Grade: A-]

[Reward: 100 UP points, Lucky box, and the Professions Tab]

[Unlocking the Professions Tab]

‘What, only A-, shouldn’t this at least be an A. I know, I didn’t get to check all of the items in the treasury but, this is still a book teaching alchemy. I probably missed out on a lot of good stuff.’

‘The Professions tab, will it allow me to learn alchemy?’

[Yes, but you will need a lot of points to unlock it and you will need a cauldron, materials, and recipes.]

As Dan was thinking about that, the village chief started to talk to him.

“You picked the alchemy book? Do you know how rare alchemists are? The chances of you being able to be an alchemist are very low.”

“I am sure that you saw other good items in the treasury. I don’t want you to exchange your wealth with something that isn’t useful. I will give you a chance to exchange the book with another item as long as you do it within 5 minutes.”

“Thank you for the offer but I still want to take a chance and try to be an alchemist.”

After that, Dan went back to the house which he had started to rent from the village chief after staying there for a month.

After Dan got back to the house, he looked at the book introducing alchemy. This time, there was one additional info when looking at the book compared to before.

[Name: An introduction to Alchemy – Book]

[Duribility: 3/10]

[Discription: As the name suggests, the book will teach you how to start learning alchemy.]

[Requires 100 UP points to learn instantly. It will make the user a level 1 alchemist.]

[Current UP points: 105]

[Learn?]

“Yes.”

As Dan said that a lot of information came at Dan, including how to tell the difference between herbs and their properties. He also obviously learned how to make pills and also gained one simple level 1 recipe. It was like the Healing Pill which he had won 11 months ago in the auction but, it was worse than the one he had won because this was only a level 1 pill.

Now, the question remained, how would he find a cauldron and the herbs needed for the recipes.
