    “Why is that?” Nnd Lee yed the role of the sidekick.


    “They know they can’t pass the Independent Alchemist Exam, so they spend their money on wine and women, or buy a house and find a woman. They keep working for a securitypany until they save enough money and then go to a saferpany to live a mundane life.”


    Mark sighed and shook his head:


    “I don’t think I can pass the Independent Alchemist Exam, but I still want to try. If I fail the first time, I’ll take it again. If I fail twice, I’ll have to admit defeat, and use the money I saved to buy a house and find a beautiful and honest woman.”


    Speaking of this, Mark swallowed his saliva…<div>


    At his age, the attraction of women was indeed quite strong…


    Nnd Lee wasn’t very interested in women. Instead, he wanted to learn more about the so-called “alchemy exam.”


    He couldn’t help but ask:


    “What makes the Independent Alchemist Exam so difficult?”


    “Although it’s aimed at self-taught alchemists, the exam’s difficulty is actually the same as the entrance exam. There are many questions, they’re difficult, and there are too many knowledge points. There are also many conjecture questions and text experimentation questions with no standard answers.” Marks face turned long when he thought about book knowledge:


    “Just the alchemy books that need to be memorized are piled up half a person’s height. I’ve only read the most superficial ones… I really don’t know how our captain passed the exam.”


    “Alright, it seems that passing the Independent Alchemist Exam is not an overnight task.”


    Although he said this, Nnd Lee’s eyes were sparkling.


    Once upon a time, he had judged that the Deconstruction Core System was not suitable forbat and was more biased towards theoretical research.


    He had regretted not having such a system before crossing over. Otherwise, he would have definitely won the national exams.


    Now, his chance to prove himself as a top student had arrived.


    The alchemy exam, which focused on the umtion of knowledge, was tailor-made for him.


    “Mark, would you mind lending me some alchemy books? I want to see if I have any talent in this area. If I need to pay, that’s no problem.”


    Mark shook his head and said:


    “No need for money, Nnd. When we get to Union City, I’ll take you to the inn where we’ll stay. You cane by my ce and borrow any book you want. I rmend starting with ‘A Brief History of Alchemy in the Golden Federation,’ The content is quite interesting?, Actually, there’s another way to be an alchemist.”


    ‘What?” Nnd Lee blinked.


    “That’s to explore the relics of the Golden Dynasty. If you can discover precious alchemy blueprints, sage manuscripts, sage particles, and the like, the Alchemy Cathedral will directly reward you with a set of alchemy weaponry and help you be an alchemist.


    “Look at our captain. He’s obviously not good at studying. He just had some luck and identally found an ancient alchemist sage manuscript, which enabled him to be an alchemist… Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!”


    As Mark was bragging, he suddenly stopped, picked up his telescope, and looked at the distant horizon.


    The setting sun was about to disappear under the earth, and the sky was blood-red. People and objects in the distance were presented in silhouette.


    Nnd Lee followed Mark’s gaze, squinted his eyes, and threw Deconstruction at the distant ck spot crawling on the horizon.


    [System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct “Extraordinary with an unknown name” …J


    [System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct “Fully-Armed


    Scavengers” …J


    Enemies were approaching… Nnd Lee instantly understood the situation.


    The one marked as “Extraordinary with an unknown name” by the system should be an alchemist as well.


    Mark didn’t have a system, so he could only rely on telescopes and his naked eye to observe the situation in the distance.


    Kent and Fars Scott, both alchemists, probably didn’t have any extraordinary abilities rted to long-range reconnaissance.


    Like Mark, they used telescopes and looked for a few minutes before realizing the intentions of the approaching party.


    “Attention! An unidentified convoy has appeared at 11 0’clock!” Kent shouted to the team members behind him:


    “Everyone, check your weapons and gear. Put on your helmets and bulletproof masks. Load your bullets and get ready for battle!”


    Mark handed Lee the telescope, and while controlling his motorcycle, he checked his firearms and ammunition.


    After observing for a little while, Nnd Lee asked:


    “Mark, I think I saw a ‘human-faced wolfhound’ pattern on the g. Which gang does that symbol belong to?”


    “The Ferocious Hound Gang!” Mark paused his hand, then shouted forward:


    “Captain, Nnd saw the g’s pattern. Those guys are probably the Ferocious Hound Gang’s armed scavengers!”


    Kent nced back at Nnd Lee, a trace of an inexplicable light shing in his eyes, as if he had suddenly guessed part of Nnd Lee’s true identity.


    Nnd Lee nodded calmly. He knew what Kent was thinking. It was all deliberate.


    At this moment, when the sunset was about to sinkpletely under the earth, a dim light surrounded them.


    In this low light intensity environment, which kind of Empire man can see more clearly than others??


    That’s right, it’s the Imperial Soldiers who have been injected with the Strengthening Potion of the Imperial Army.


    Specifically, it is the “Dim Light Vision” brought by the Strengthening Potion that helps the Imperial Soldiers distinguish people and objects in dim light.


    After absorbing some of Kasha and Greenshaw’s memories, Nnd Lee had crafted a reasonable Imperial identity for himself.


    Deliberately showing his unique vision was his first step in establishing a false identity.


    Kent took his gaze back from Lee, and shouted:


    “…Everyone, raise the bulletproof board of your motorcycles, keep a close eye on your surroundings, and don’t be entangled by the Ferocious Hound Gang’s wolfhounds! Those bastards love to use starved wolfhounds to bite people!”


    Mark flicked the bullet nest, loaded the bullets, and pulled out a metal bulletproof board on both sides of the motorcycle as cover.


    He smiled at Nnd Lee, revealing two rows of teeth that shined in the setting sun:


    “Those guys are probably the scavengers from the Ferocious Hound Gang. They must have mistaken us for a regr traveling team. This battle should be over soon. Because our team has alchemists, but theirs doesn’t.”


    A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Nnd Lee’s mouth hidden under the face towel.


    Mark had many good qualities.


    He was talkative, self-assured, warm, and straightforward.


    But his habit of setting up his team members… He should change it as soon as possible….
