Enough alchemical knowledge?
Hearing Anvis's words, the players exchanged glances, all realizing that this was no simple matter.
"Could you tell me what problem you've encountered? Perhaps I can help."
The player hurriedly asked, appearing exceptionally eager.
At that, Anvis raised his brows and cast them a somewhat arrogant glance.
"Very well. Then answer me this: if Mandrake is dried, ground into powder, mixed with Ancient Fossil Powder, and added to Cockatrice blood, what reaction will occur?"
"Uh, that..."
The player froze, instantly at a loss.
It couldn't be helped. He was responsible for combat and knew little about lifestyle professions, let alone alchemy, which was considered exceptionally difficult even among such professions.
"Hmph. If you don't even understand that, don't waste my time!"
Entirely unsurprised that they could not answer, Anvis snorted coldly, turned away with a disdainful expression, and ignored them.
Yet rather than being upset by Anvis's seemingly unpleasant attitude, the players were delighted.
As combat members of Starlight, every player present was a veteran.
The moment they got this result, they immediately understood that their alchemy level was not high enough.
Though their own alchemy levels were insufficient, someone in the guild was qualified—
And a quest that required a sufficiently high alchemy level to accept was bound to be a hidden quest with generous rewards. Since they had discovered it, they would naturally receive corresponding contribution rewards as well.
"My apologies, sir. Although I am not skilled in alchemy, I have a friend who is exceptionally proficient in it. I'm sure he can find a way to solve your difficulty.
If you do not mind, sir, I can take you to him right away."
Coming to their senses, the players immediately took the opportunity to invite Anvis.
They had their own selfish motives as well.
