Sleep is the best way to recover mental strength, especially when Song Jian didn’t have any potions for mental strength recovery. He slept until five or six in the afternoon. Only then did Song Jian wake up, fully invigorated.

His stomach began to grumble. His hunger level had risen to 89%, and his stomach felt like it was on fire. Once hunger level rises above 80%, a character’s attributes will decrease by 30%. If it increases to 90%, a character’s attributes will decrease by 50%. Once it increases to 100%, a character will start to lose Vitality Points.

Song Jian took out a piece of “grilled meat” and a bottle of clean mineral water from his bag and started to gulp it down.

“Master, are you awake? May I come in?” The voice of the butler, George, came from outside the door.

“Uh-uh, George, come in,” Song Jian choked a bit, and called out loudly.

George pushed open the door, and Tammy and John carried a wooden table slowly in.

“Put it there!” George pointed to a corner of the room.

After Tammy and John placed the table in the specified position, they bowed to Song Jian and slowly retreated.

“Master, you can place a plant here, it will make the room feel more comfortable,” George said with a slight smile.

“You handle the layout of the castle, do as you see fit,” said Song Jian, glancing around the room with satisfaction. Then he pointed to the side of the radio and said, “Put another table there.”

“Of course, Master, it will be done quickly,” George nodded, and with a moment’s hesitation said, “Master, 1 think it would be advisable for us to hire a cook for our manor. That way, you wouldn’t have to eat these coarse foods.” “A cook? I’d like that!” Song Jian was startled, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, “A first-grade manor can only hire three… servants, and we’ve already hired three. We don’t have any more openings.”

“For ordinary people, there is a limit, but Master, you are already level ten. If you become a professional, there will be no hiring limit, although it will cost 10% more each time. Of course,” Butler George explained, “you can also continue to upgrade the manor level. A second-grade manor can employ five servants.”

“If I continue to upgrade the manor level, it won’t attract an attack from monsters, will it?” Song Jian asked with lingering fear.

“Of course not, as long as we have enough supplies, Master, you can keep upgrading without limit. Even if upgraded to a ten level manor, it will not attract monster attacks.” George respectfully replied.

“I see, alright, 1 will upgrade the manor level as soon as possible.” Song Jian nodded.

After bowing to Song Jian, George slowly left the room and closed the door.

It wasn’t long before Song Jian’s hunger level dropped back down to below ten. Tammy and John brought in another table and placed it next to the radio.

At this point, on the left of the room, there was a large bed. On the right, three wooden tables were arranged directly opposing the bed. There was an Engineering Crafting Table on one, a radio on the second, and the third was empty.

Song Jian took out a briefcase from his bag and placed it on the empty table.

He placed his right hand on the briefcase, and immediately, a green light appeared on the case, scanning Song Jian’s palm. The briefcase opened automatically revealing a set of complete Alchemy tools.

“A crucible, test tube, alcohol lamp, decomposition dish, decoction furnace, oh my goodness, this is a precise set of chemistry equipment!” Astonishment crossed Song Jian’s face as he looked at the shimmering alchemy workbench.

“Portable Moveable Alchemy Workbench (Silver), Special Item, Usage Effect: Can produce various potions, increase success rate by 80%, enhance potion effect by 50%, has a certain chance of causing the created potion to mutate; Usage Condition: Mastery of Alchemy,”

“These attributes are a bit exaggerated!” A surprised smile appears on Song Jian’s face; just the potion-making success rate is increased by 80%, and he had learned Alchemy, a-level one Alchemy increases the success rate by 5%, just two more levels, and he can achieve a 100% potion-making success rate, it’s simply earth-shattering!

Song Jian couldn’t wait to give it a try. The only potion formula he currently master was for the Weakness Potion. The most important material for this potion was a Zombie’s tusks. Song Jian had eight zombie tusks in his bag, enough to make four Weakness potions.

He put four solution mixtures and eight zombie tusks into the placement area of the workbench, four glass bottles into the output area, and Song Jian pressed the crafting button right away.

Suddenly, the alchemy workbench surface emitted a silver glow, cloaking the entire workbench. Song Jian could see the workbench automatically decomposing, merging, blending, and brewing the ingredients.

Soon, a gray liquid flowed out of the output, perfectly filling a glass bottle.

In just ten short minutes, four bottles of Weakness Potion were completed, with the entire process being automated, requiring no intervention from Song Jian.

Weakness Potion (Excellent): Inflicts a ranged attack on any target within six meters, causing 30 points of true damage, while weakening the target’s defense by 35% for 65 seconds;

Weakness Potion (Mutated): Inflicts a ranged attack on all targets within six meters, causing 30 points of true damage to all targets in the area, while weakening the targets’ defense by 35% for 65 seconds, causing a daze effect upon impact, lasting for one second;

“Hmm, this potion, it’s just…” Looking at the three enhanced potions and one mutated potion, Song Jian was extraordinarily satisfied with this silver-quality “Portable Moveable Alchemy Workbench”.

The regular Weakness Potion only inflicts 10 points of true damage to the target, weakens their defense by 30%, and lasts for 60 seconds. The enhanced version of the potion boosts all attributes significantly. The mutated variant is even more terrifying. It not only changes from targeting single entities to area attacks but also causes daze effects. It will be surprisingly effective whether used for launching a preemptive strike or for escaping.

“Not bad, not bad. 1 thought 1 had been ripped off, but it turns out I made a huge profit. Hahaha!” Song Jian laughed heartily.

“Right, I now also meet the conditions for crafting the T-11 High Explosive Hand Grenade, let’s see what materials are needed for it.” Saying this, Song Jian walked over to the Siege Crafting Table, and upon opening it, the option “Craft a T-11 High Explosive Hand Grenade” appeared on the screen of the Crafting Table.

After clicking on the option, the required materials for crafting the high explosive hand grenades appeared.

“Wow, that’s quite a lot of materials needed!” Song Jian widened his eyes as he looked at the lengthy list of required materials displayed on the Crafting Table.

“Charcoal (3), Saltpeter (1), Sulfur (2), Suixing Silver (3), Refined Iron (5)…”

“Charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, Suixing silver… I have all these, they were all obtained in the subsidiary. But this refined iron, copper, stone wood, 1 don’t have these five or six types of materials…” Song Jian frowned. The T-11 high explosive hand grenade is incredibly powerful, but it also requires a lot of materials. Song Jian only has two-thirds of the materials; one-third is still lacking.

“Forget it, I’ll deal with that later. These materials must all come from mining.” Opening the map, Song Jian sighed at the sight of a mine that was at least sixty to seventy kilometers away from him.

To reach the mine, you have to cross the entire city. Even if you take the outer ring highway, it’s fraught with danger. Many places along the highway are closed, and some overpasses have even been cut off, requiring a detour; the number of creatures is no less than in the city, and the danger level is also not small. With Song Jian’s current strength, he’s afraid to go there alone.

Song Jian shook his head, put away the map, it looked like it was going to be a while before he could craft this T-11 High Explosive Hand Grenade..
