Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!
Chapter 231 Attempting To Spot A Difference

[Ace POV],

There was a lot of knowledge about Alchemy, such as formations, runes, and even herbs, and so on.

The basic knowledge of these aspects was not as expensive as the basic knowledge of alchemy, which cost 250 gold coins.

The individual basic knowledge I was looking to purchase was all priced between 30 and 50 gold coins.

If it had only been one, the price would have seemed reasonable, but I was purchasing a large quantity of knowledge about various aspects of alchemy, so the cost could already be estimated.

As I considered how much money I was about to lose, I began to purchase the knowledge I desired from the store's knowledge suboption.

So for the next few minutes, my head just kept filling with unfamiliar knowledge, and because I was buying different knowledge at the same time, the effect of having the knowledge inputted into my head began to feel painful, but thankfully, the pain wasn't so severe that I had to stop what I was doing, so I continued the act of expanding my head with gritted teeth.

........

"Ugh," I muttered, shaking my head and placing my hand on my face feeling as if my brain was being pricked with sharp objects.

'That was definitely a bad decision,' I thought as I resolved not to try this act of having different knowledge inputted into my head one after the other.

The pain was difficult to bear, and even thinking about anything was painful.

Seeing as I was only going to torture myself if I started doing anything right now, I just decided to sleep instead, so after a few seconds of rolling in my bed in an attempt to sleep, I was finally successful as my eyelids closed slowly.

...

Yawns

Opening my eyes slowly to see the now becoming familiar bedroom, I repositioned my body on my bed to sit as I felt a small pain in my head, prompting me to recall the events that had caused my headache.

Remembering this, I summoned the primordial chronicle in my head to check the number of gold coins I still had.

This was a very important matter since this would decide if I was going to remain rich or go broke like I had always been before my encounter with the earth rat den.

I didn't check my balance because the headache I got after buying the last piece of knowledge I wanted prevented me from doing so.

Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as I had initially expected.

[Total coins: 212 Gold Coins: 46 Silver Coins: 53 Bronze Coins],

With this amount of gold coins, I was still richer than my previous self, so it is okay I suppose.

As I considered these things, I exited my room and went to my 'lab,' where I took a seat in the center of the tables, which still had the remnants of my previous experiments scattered about.

I was going to go through the unfamiliar basic knowledge I had in my head and sort it out because it appears to be a jumbled mess in my head right now.

This is understandable because, unlike the last time I acquired the basic alchemy knowledge for the first time, I had several in my head this time, and it was going to take a while for me to organise things.

I was in a situation where I had a lot on my mind, which caused me to be indecisive because I knew a lot of things but didn't know where to start.

This was me still concentrating on the alchemy aspect rather than the magic knowledge I had purchased from the primordial chronicle.

After organizing the new knowledge in my head related to alchemy, I noticed that some of the information stated in the new knowledge I had just brought was also stated in the basic alchemy knowledge, and it was also as I suspected because compared to the information stated in the basic alchemy knowledge, the information stated in the new knowledge I had just brought for the respective aspect of alchemy was more detailed.

And to prove my thoughts and suspicions that having this knowledge would exponentially increase my progress in alchemy, I decided to start an experiment with something I was very familiar with: pill making.

Pill making is a core skill in alchemy, but I had only just discovered that it isn't something that can only be done by an alchemist, but also serves as a universal skill for rank species who wanted to refine their own herbs into a pill.

It's just that most people can't do it compared to how an alchemist would do it.

But this was not my focus because I was preoccupied with something else.

Through pill making, I was already on my way to becoming a Trainee Alchemist.

Because it was the first thing I learned when I first became acquainted with alchemy, this was the most advanced aspect of alchemy for me.

What I was going to do right now to see if there was any difference between having detailed information and general information about pill making was to try to make another pill, and I've already decided which pill to start with, which is the basic stamina pill.

This is a pill I've never attempted to make before, so it's the ideal experiment for me to see if there's really a difference with more knowledge.

With this in mind, I took my cauldron from my storage ring before summoning the primordial chronicle in my head to purchase some materials for the pill in the store section.

The basic stamina pill works differently than the basic health pill and basic mana pill.

The basic health pill, as the name suggests, restores one's health, while the basic mana pill restores one's mana and the basic stamina pill restores one's stamina.

To be honest, I thought of the basic stamina pill as a magical sort of energy drink or, in this case, pill.

It was strangely accurate in a way.
