Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 561 - Magister!

After the flash of light, a crisp system jingle rang out. Nie Yan checked his notifications.

You have successfully crafted a Wish Necklace.

"Phew, it didn't fail..." Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His nerves which were stretched taut finally relaxed.

Examining the stats of the Wish Necklace-Alchemy +1-Nie Yan was absolutely elated. This was one of the best rolls he could possibly hope for. The guild treasury had several Master rank potion recipes lying around. With this necklace, they could start putting them to use!

Wish Necklace: Special Item

Properties: Alchemy +1

Restrictions: Bound to user. Wearer cannot gain skill proficiency.

Nie Yan immediately rang up Bird.

Seeing that Nie Yan was calling him, Bird dropped everything he was doing.「Boss, do you need anything?」

「Which Advanced Alchemist in our guild has the highest success rate?」Nie Yan asked. This Wish Necklace would naturally go to the most suitable person.

「The highest success rate, huh... I guess that would be Quiet Nannan. He has a success rate of about 95%. The next highest would be me,」Bird replied.

Quiet Nannan had the higher concocting success rate while Bird had a chance of creating an even higher quality potion and gaining a large amount of additional proficiency. Comparing the two, Quiet Nannan appeared to be the better fit for this necklace.

「Take a look at this necklace here. Decide who among you two should have it,」Nie Yan said. He put the Wish Necklace in his mailbox, then entered Bird as the recipient.

Bird sucked in a cold breath of air after seeing the stats of the Wish Necklace. As an Alchemist, how could he not understand its value? People like him had spent months on end holed up in a workshop concocting potions nonstop just to reach the rank of Advanced Alchemist. Even though many people found themselves at the precipice of becoming a Master Alchemist, they discovered that breaking through this bottleneck was incredibly difficult. Without the aid of some sort of special recipe, they could only stagnate in place. Advancing to Master rank was far more difficult than originally imagined. However, here was a necklace that allowed an Advanced Alchemist to become a Master Alchemist, or a Master Alchemist to become a Grandmaster Alchemist.

Sadly, the wearer of the Wish Necklace wouldn't obtain any skill proficiency. It could only serve as a supplementary item while concocting potions. This kind of restriction was very normal. Otherwise, this necklace would be way too overpowered.

「I think Quiet Nannan should have it. It'll allow him to concoct potions above his rank. Maybe one day he'll concoct Grandmaster or Sage-rank potions,」Bird said. He still had to manage the Starry Night Potion Shop, greatly limiting his free time to concoct potions. Letting someone else have this necklace was clearly the better choice.

「We have Master Health and Mana Potion Recipes in the guild treasury. Have Quiet Nannan learn them and start producing a few of them,」Nie Yan said. Even in the previous timeline Master rank potions were a scarce as well as expensive commodity. At this stage of the game, they could be considered cheat items. Players like Bladelight and Tang Yao already had health or mana pools exceeding several tens of thousands. Advanced Health And Mana Potions could no longer fulfill their needs. However, Master rank potions could instantly restore their health and mana to full.

With Master Health and Mana Potions, players would have increased sustainability. It could potentially even save them from wiping during dungeon runs.

「Understood,」Bird replied. He quickly went to arrange these matters.
