Time travel game, starting from Kingdom Come: Deliverance

His knowledge from the 21st century, combined with his mental power, allowed him to touch the realm of the "extraordinary" when concocting potions.

11. The fact that save points are linked to houses must be a real estate conspiracy!

The alchemy lesson ends here. According to the shopkeeper, he has nothing more to teach Mo Jiang.

Because he is only proficient in two kinds of potions, one is calendula potion, and the other is not mentioned. His level of proficiency in other potions is also very low.

Although the shop has other finished potions, some of them were made by him over a long period of time and the yield could not be guaranteed, while others were sold on behalf of others.

The fact that he didn't reveal the potion clearly indicates that he was holding back, because if he were to teach away even his last strength, he would lose all his competitiveness in Rattay.

Mo Jiang had no intention of forcing the shop owner to continue teaching. The potion that had enabled him to activate his mental power was enough to be worth all the wealth he had.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Jiang took out two more packets of sugar and salt from his shoulder bag. "What else do you have here? Trade these two packets for it."

The pharmacy had a wide variety of items, mostly various medicines and herbs, as well as medicinal formulas that the owner had specially provided to Mojiang.

The shop owner originally didn't plan to share the potion recipe, but he said that seeing Mo Jiang make the potion work perfectly the first time he made it, he wanted to see where Mo Jiang's limits were.

He felt that he might witness the birth of a master alchemist.

Looking at the pharmacy's inventory list, Mo Jiang didn't hold back and immediately began a massive sweep.

"Hmm, 'The Alchemist's Dream I,' stomachic potion recipe, hypnotic potion recipe, nighthawk potion recipe, Lazarus potion recipe... I want all the recipes here."

"Stomachic medicine, Nighthawk medicine, Vitality medicine, give me 99 bottles of all the medicines."

For a player, hoarding 99 consumables is a completely subconscious action.

The shop owner rolled his eyes. "There aren't that many. The preparation and preservation of potions are very troublesome. Whether we sell them in the shop or sell them on behalf of others, the quantity is very small."

Only after asking about the quantity of potions did I learn that, apart from the calendula potion, which the shop owner was most skilled at making and had ten bottles in stock, most of the other potions only had three to five bottles, and the least numbered were two bottles of the berserk potion.

"Then I'll take everything except the bandages and the salt."

The bandages here are just clean strips of linen, which are definitely not as useful as buying a medical bandage from a pharmacy for Mojiang.

As for salt, needless to say, the salt from Mojiang is so pure in this environment that it can be used as money.

Soon, Mo Jiang and the shop owner carried their things to a house, which was the place that Hannah had arranged for Mo Jiang to stay.

Of course, it's not free.

But in Mo Jiang's eyes, this was a very worthwhile deal, allowing him to have a place to live in the city while also being able to complete some of his experiments.

He planned to try and see if, after returning to the modern world from Lathai, he would reappear in Skarlitz or Lathai.

Understanding the limitations of time travel will allow Mo Jiang to make more preparations.

After asking the shop owner to put the items on the ground and leaving, Mo Hao looked around and, finding no one else nearby, picked up the boxes he had bought, pushed open the door, and returned to the modern world.

Upon returning home, Mo Jiang made an astonishing discovery.

After passing through the door, Mo Jiang discovered that the boxes he was carrying were gone.

At the same time, Mo Jiang felt that he could open an inventory in his mind with just his imagination, and all the items he bought would be placed in it, categorized and arranged. Different types of items would occupy one slot, but items of the same type could be stacked.

With just a thought, one can reach out and take it in their hand; it looks almost like magic.

"This, this is... the inventory?"

Mo Jiang excitedly took things out of the storage space and put them back, but he soon discovered that he couldn't put anything else in.

Neither a packet of salt, a packet of sugar, nor even the armor on your body can be stored in your inventory.

The only things that can be stored are items purchased from the pharmacy.

"So..." Mo Jiang rubbed his temples, "This really is the game's inventory, only able to hold in-game items?"

There are certain restrictions on the items that can be placed in this inventory; we'll have to test what those restrictions are for.

It's possible that only items purchased from shops can be included, or it's possible that only items produced in the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance can be included. Ultimately, we'll have to experiment to find out the result.

But no matter what, an inventory is an inventory. Even if it has usage restrictions, it's still something that can be considered a cheat code.

For example, when meeting important figures, they would inevitably be disarmed and searched to ensure that there were no weapons.

Mo Jiang could easily fill his inventory with full weapons and carry out a magical assassination.

Even the most powerful leader cannot withstand the sharp sword thrust forth during a salute.

Alternatively, if the enemy is certain they have no healing potions, take a bottle of Lazarus potion from their inventory.

Whatever you want to do using your inventory, it's an action that's extremely stealthy.

After returning home and examining his inventory, Mo Jiang once again opened the door to another world. This time, however, he didn't appear in Skaritz, but in Ratai.

Mo Jiang observed his surroundings for a while, then quietly walked away to a secluded place, some distance from his residence. He then pushed open the half-closed wooden door and left this world.

In modern times, Mo Jiang did not stay. Instead, he pushed open the teleportation gate again and appeared in Latai, his residence.

"It's pretty much confirmed. The person from the modern world traveled from somewhere, and they'll appear in the same location after returning."

"But in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, no matter where you leave from, you'll always return to the nearest 'home.' Or rather, to a house that's nominally yours, like a save point?"

Having roughly figured out some of the mechanisms of time travel, Mo Jiang pondered that if he hadn't asked Hannash for a house, there was a high probability that when he time traveled again, he would have appeared in Skaritz.

If that were the case, he would be in real trouble.

Another trip to Ratai will be no easy journey.

After testing the time travel mechanism, Mo Jiang placed a wooden chair aside. It was something he had brought from his residence in Latai. He had already tested it, and the chair also couldn't be put into his inventory.

Therefore, it seems that the only items that can be added to this inventory are those purchased from the store.

This might be because he gained spiritual power, which is related to his transactions with the pharmacy owner.

Looking out the window, it was already evening in Rataina, while the sun was still shining brightly in the south.

Looking at the time on the computer, he realized he had been in Rattay for two days and one night, while not a single day had passed in modern times.

"It seems our timings are out of sync."

12. Good news from the fitness community

Upon realizing the time difference between the two worlds, Mo Jiang immediately took out his phone and ordered three boxes of compressed biscuits.

Having experienced the previous situation, he could guess that he would soon be hungry, and that the hunger would be so intense that it would be like being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

The stomach no longer secretes gastric acid, but aqua regia, which directly corrodes the stomach wall and dissolves the internal organs.

There's a wholesale market nearby, and the order will be delivered within half an hour.

After the compressed biscuits arrived, Mo Jiang immediately tore open the packaging and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, swallowing them with water after only a few chews.

Mo Jiang's stomach was like a bottomless pit. He swallowed two large boxes of compressed biscuits, but even so, he only felt about 80% full.

"Well, it seems it's not just my stomach, but other parts of my body have changed too."

Mo Jiang could sense that his body had undergone some kind of special change. Not only had his need for food increased significantly, but his body had also developed an extreme ability to withstand hunger.

He is now like some kind of creature, able to eat large amounts of food at once and then go without eating for a long time.

This made Mo Jiang suspect that, in addition to his inventory, he had actually unlocked an invisible character panel, which probably had traits like "enduring hunger" and "gluttony".

After eating and drinking his fill and replenishing his strength, Mo Jiang slowly removed his armor. As soon as he took off the armor, a pungent smell hit him.

Wearing this thing for almost two days had already taken a toll on Mo Jiang's stamina. In addition, the poor heat dissipation that all armor suffers from resulted in the suit exuding a powerful aura.

Even Mo Jiang himself couldn't help but cover his nose, unsure whether it was the smell on his own body or the smell on the armor.

After washing up, Mo Hao cleaned the armor, feeling refreshed. Since he would need to use the armor for a while, he couldn't do a thorough cleaning.

He gave the leather interior a quick wipe, sprayed some air freshener, and then hung it on a rack to dry with a fan.

Although the Hanfu Society has twenty suits of armor, none of them are the same. The infantry armor is one of the most protective suits among all the armors.

To explore another world, the best protection is this body.

After finishing all these matters, Mo Jiang casually took out a bottle of marigold potion he had made and poured it into his mouth. He planned to try out the effects and taste of what he had made.

If no spiritual energy is involved in the refining process, the calendula potion should actually be called calendula and nettle infusion.

The taste is slightly bitter with a herbal aroma. The moment you drink it, the liquid transforms into a gentle life force that permeates your entire body.

Mo Jiang's body trembled slightly. He felt itchy all over, and some small, inconspicuous wounds on his body were healing rapidly.

Even on the inside of my right hand, there was a small abrasion that I had gotten a few days ago when I was moving the child. It had scabbed over, and when I gently wiped it with my hand, the scab fell off and revealed perfectly good skin.

Through his spiritual power, Mo Jiang vaguely sensed that his body had undergone some kind of change due to the stimulation of that life force.

I could also feel my bones itching, as if I was planning to undergo a second development.

Henry-grade Marigold Potion restores 60 health and instantly cures hangovers.

My mind raced through information about calendula potions, even though Henry-class potions only appeared in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

However, there are only a few months between the first and second works, and if that is a real world, then some things in the two works can be shared.

"Since the inventory can only hold items purchased from the store, it means that this is likely a game mechanic where only purchased items can be put into the inventory."

"So the items in the inventory are most likely based on the game mechanics."

Mo Jiang's mind clearly searched for the differences between the two sides. "I don't have an attribute panel. My body operates according to normal physical laws, so I can't have an attribute panel like in the game, nor can I be like Henry in the game, who can live as long as he has health, even if it's just a sliver."

"So when the marigold potion that immediately restores 60% of my health was applied to me, it became something that replenished my life force and also triggered my body's superregeneration mechanism."

This is a guess, but a guess that is quite easy to verify.

Mo Jiang walked into his own warehouse, which was actually a converted garage, filled with many things that were no longer needed and took up space.

There was a Smith machine in the warehouse. It was given to Mo Jiang by a relative whose gym was going out of business and couldn't find a buyer.

Of course, the main reason is that this thing isn't expensive, and the gym itself isn't particularly big.

This machine costs around two or three thousand, and it might sell for even less on the secondhand market.

Load both sides of the lever with barbell plates, lie down and bench press, lifting a total weight of 200KG with both arms.

"It seems my guess was right. My bench press results weren't as high as this time before, and I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to train, so my numbers should be lower than last time."

"At least, there won't be any spare capacity like this."

200KG is not the limit for Mojiang, but the limit for the lever and the barbell plates. It can no longer hold any more barbell plates, and there are no more barbell plates available.

Without stopping, he continued bench pressing, trying to exhaust his strength as much as possible.

After a while, Mo Jiang, his upper body soaked with sweat, took out the marigold potion from his inventory and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he frowned slightly.

This time, the calendula potion was not very effective, only about half the amount of the one Mo Jiang refined.

This should be a quality issue.

The life force provided by the marigold potion quickly restored Mo Jiang's stamina. Unlike the game mechanics, health and stamina are separate, and Mo Hao does not have a numerical health bar.

Not to mention in the game, even if Henry completely exhausts his stamina, he will only be unable to run or attack, but he can still walk, and his health bar will not be affected at all.

However, for a human like Mo Jiang, complete exhaustion could lead to shock or even death from exhaustion.

Through mental energy, I vaguely sensed once again that after a lot of exercise, my life force was constantly performing excessive repairs on my body.

At the same time, some ideas began to emerge uncontrollably in Mo Jiang's mind.

"If the potion that restores health works by repairing my life force..."

"So, could I consider injecting myself with an extreme combination of high-dose steroids and hormones to increase muscle mass and strength in the shortest possible time?"

"And the physical damage caused by extreme drug combinations is repaired and replenished by medication..."

"【Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin】maybe we can add it to the memorandum."

This is an untried approach, but it is also a highly probable proposal.

13. There was a boy named Henry in Skarlitz.

Despite having such an idea, Mo Jiang has no immediate plans to implement it.

After all, it was injecting medicine into himself, and Mo Jiang did not intend to use his own body for research before testing the healing limits of the alchemical potion.
