Black soil, chalk, red clay, gold.
According to the Fundamentals of Alchemy, these are the four stages that a created alchemical creature must go through.
Born from the original black soil, it transforms into chalk after impurities are removed.
After undergoing the refinement of emotions, it achieves its ultimate form, and finally transforms into true gold.
Gold does not refer to metal in the common sense.
Rather, it refers to a [life] that possesses emotions and finds meaning in its existence.
Therefore, in alchemy, the word "alchemy" is more often used to refer to—
[To forge a true life].
This is a theoretical doctrine that no one has yet been able to achieve; it is the highest achievement known as the creation of life.
That is, through alchemy, one can truly step into the forbidden realm of the gods' creation of life.
The servants in Rose Manor are probably just ordinary alchemical creations.
But Gu Xinghe firmly believed that Eiffel undoubtedly had the potential to achieve [Red Achievement], and even a true life.
Dusk had fallen; it was the time when Gu Xinghe had arrived at the manor yesterday.
Gu Xinghe had been reading for most of the day, but he didn't feel hungry at all.
It seems he was given some kind of solution last night.
It seems that it not only strengthened his spirit, but also enhanced his physical condition.
...
After leaving the library, Eiffel considerately asked Gu Xinghe.
Would you like to have some afternoon tea and relax?
"good."
The road to the small garden was a bit far, but fortunately Gu Xinghe and Eiffel could go there by car.
The cool breeze on my face felt incredibly pleasant.
Looking at the empty manor, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but probe the thoughts of those around him.
【loyalty】
But he didn't see anyone.
Are they like hidden guards or bodyguards in a manor?
Seeing that Gu Xinghe was staring straight ahead, Eiffel seemed to understand and explained.
"They are guards hidden throughout the manor."
In the small garden—
The building standing to one side is the pavilion built of white marble that Gu Xinghe vaguely saw when he came in yesterday.
The white pavilion is supported by four pillars, with dark green rose vines entwined around them.
It adds a touch of brightness to it.
Gu Xinghe sat down in the pavilion.
He leaned against the railing and looked back—
Behind the pavilion is a small lake, where a gentle breeze refreshes the mind and body.
When the weather is nice, you might even be able to row a small boat on the lake.
A group of waiters, who seemed to have arrived even earlier than Gu Xinghe and Eiffel, pushed a small food cart onto Gu Xinghe's table after he sat down.
It is decorated with a variety of desserts and snacks.
After seeing another group of waiters.
Gu Xinghe belatedly realized that his identity could be considered that of a waiter.
He seems to be a butler?
The position of housekeeper sounds like it requires arranging all sorts of busy tasks.
But after arriving at the manor, he didn't manage anything at all.
Gu Xinghe, who rarely felt guilty, took the initiative to ask.
Are you busy?
Preparing for the banquet must be quite busy, do you need my help?
"They will handle all the work; you don't need to worry about it."
Are you tired?
I don't know where Eiffel got the idea that he was tired.
But Gu Xinghe had already started enjoying the Eiffel Tower knee pillow massage again.
Although my mind was clearer after reading "Fundamentals of Alchemy," I felt that something called rationality had been greatly depleted.
Before he knew it, Gu Xinghe had fallen asleep.
After seeing that Gu Xinghe had fallen asleep, Eiffel looked at the rose that Gu Xinghe had given her earlier.
A glimmer seemed to appear in his eyes.
Then, she looked down and focused intently on Gu Xinghe, who was sleeping on her lap.
...
While Gu Xinghe was leisurely resting—
Holy crap, this is terrifying!
[The streamer in this livestream seems to be going crazy.]
It's not "about to", it's probably "already".
Chen Licheng was initially quite relieved to be assigned to the kitchen as a chef's assistant.
His own profession was as a chef, and he continued to work as a chef on the estate.
The chance of making a mistake is much lower compared to other players.
Having witnessed many players die tragically in the Rose Manor instance during the live stream, Chen Licheng had absolutely no intention of exploring the side quests.
All I wanted was to be a quiet kitchen helper and just barely survive for the next seven days.
However, the dangers in this game are not something that can be directly seen or felt.
Most of the chefs in the kitchen are taciturn.
Actually, this place is no different from where he works.
After being separated from the other players in the castle hall and then quickly taken to the kitchen, Chen Licheng silently comforted himself.
Boom——!!!
The sound of a huge chunk of meat being placed on the cutting board quickly brought Chen Licheng back to his senses.
What appeared before him was a square mountain of flesh, about one meter in diameter.
Red skin texture, white snowflake-like fat streaks.
And the cold mist that kept drifting from the pieces of meat.
Chen Licheng had never seen meat like this before.
But it looked like this unfamiliar piece of meat had just been taken out of the cold storage not long ago.
A mountain of meat, a meter high, was placed in front of him, and a chef beside him demonstrated how to cut the meat into chunks.
The chef's technique was fast and steady, as if he were a master.
