Chapter 1554 - Hierarchical Gap
In the crowded Special Alchemy Room, every player turned towards Melancholic Smile as soon as she spoke, eager to learn the competition's results .
Any alchemist would even envy the benefits for the tenth place, let alone the benefits the top three would enjoy .
With the help of the awarded alchemy tools, these alchemists would have a smoother path to becoming Master Alchemists . Once they became Master Alchemists, they'd reach the apex of the alchemy industry, becoming a target for superpowers' recruitment .
"A total of 324 people have participated in the competition this time . Among them, 244 are Intermediate Alchemists, and 80 are Advanced Alchemists . Overall, I would say that everyone has scored fairly well . However, the final results are clear," Melancholic Smile said, smiling as she glanced at the alchemists present . "I'll now announce the top ten rankings .
"Tenth place: Floating Cloud, Intermediate Alchemist . Materials used: 59 sets . Produced 19 Fire Potions . Practical success rate is 32 . 2% . "
"Ninth place: Smiling Heaven, Advanced Alchemist . Materials used: 49 sets . Produced 16 Frozen Soul Potions . Practical success rate is 32 . 65% . "
"Eighth place: Tainted Maple, Intermediate Alchemist . Materials used: 58 sets . Produced 19 Fire Potions . Practical success rate is 32 . 75% . "
…
As Melancholic Smile reported the results, the crowd gasped in shock .
"What?! Even Intermediate Alchemists have ranked among the top ten?!"
"Crap! What kind of speed and success rate is that?! I went all-out for the whole hour, yet I only used 52 sets of materials and made 16 Fire Potions . Are they even human?"
All of these alchemists were very familiar with the Fire Potion and Frozen Soul Potion's production specifications . If an alchemist of the same rank tried to craft them without the aid of any external items, the system would set their base success rate at 35% . However, it was extremely difficult for an alchemist's practical success rate to reach this theoretical success rate . If an alchemist only crafted a small number of potions, they might be lucky enough to achieve a practical success rate that was higher than the theoretical success rate, but that was nearly impossible when mass-producing potions . Moreover, the likelihood of such a situation would only decrease as players crafted more potions .
Hence, when competing in a competition that required 50 to 100 sets of materials, one had to rely on their actual capabilities . Luck had very little impact in such competitions .
Moreover, it was extremely difficult to maintain a high production speed if one wanted to maintain a high success rate . After all, the hastier one was, the more likely they were to make mistakes . This, in turn, resulted in a lower success rate .
In this competition, players were first judged based on the number of potions they crafted . Their success rate was secondary . If two players produced the same number of potions, their ranks would then be determined by their success rate . This made it impossible for players to gain an advantage with trickery . Of course, this judging method was only effective among alchemists of the same rank .
At the end of the day, the Fire Potion was much easier to produce compared to the Frozen Soul Potion . It didn't require as much time to craft, either . As a result, it was natural that the players crafting Fire Potions would produce more than those crafting Frozen Soul Potions . Hence, when comparing alchemists of different ranks, for fairness's sake, Advanced Alchemists would have a modifier of +3 potions added to their tallies .
Just who are these people? Youlan was astounded as she watched the alchemists walk up to the stage Melancholic Smile occupied .
When Shi Feng had stated that the practical success rate of Candlelight's core members was around 30%, she had assumed the man had exaggerated . Looking at it now, however, it would seem that Shi Feng had told her the truth . In fact, he had understated the firm's alchemists .
There were likely only two alchemists in Underworld who could achieve such a high production speed and success rate . Ordinary Advanced Alchemists would be fortunate to achieve two-thirds of the production speed of Zero Wing's Advanced Alchemists . They'd thank the heavens if they could reach even 20% of these alchemists' practical success rate .
As Melancholic Smile continued to announce the top-ten ranks, Silent Aspiration and Silent Wonder, who stood below the stage, were flabbergasted . They had never thought that the other alchemists in the trading firm would achieve such excellent results, only slightly inferior to theirs .
Zero Wing sure has a lot of alchemy experts . But this old man will still take first place . Silent Aspiration hadn't lost any of his confidence . He had nearly achieved perfection with his performance .
While he was surprised that so many of Candlelight's Advanced Alchemists had produced 16 Frozen Soul Potions in one hour, they still couldn't compare to him . After all, he had crafted a total of 18 Frozen Soul Potions . Though part of the reason for his result had been his luck with his final attempt, luck was also a component of an alchemist's strength .
