A Wizard's Path to Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune

After transmigrating into a wizarding world, Lance obtains a Heavenly Mandate Talisman that can help him avoid danger and choose the path to good fortune.

[Recommended: Take advantage of your mentor's weakness and shoot him with a charged firearm | Above Average]

[Not Recommended: Play the obedient student. In three days, you'll become your mentor's second body | Terrible]

After a heartfelt show of mutual respect between master and student, Lance makes sure his mentor is the one who gets sent off first.

At first, he thinks the greatest use of the Heavenly Mandate Talisman is simply helping him live a little longer.

Until one day.

[Question: Can snake-scale grass replace rotten bone flower and reduce the potion's toxicity?]

[Recommended: Reduce the amount and extract it a second time to weaken the toxicity | Above Average]

[Not Recommended: Replace it directly. The ingredients will react, and the lab will explode in twelve minutes | Terrible]

Lance suddenly realizes.

Could this thing also be used for scientific research?

Alchemy, potions, witchcraft, illusions...

When a wizard who can rule out wrong answers in advance enters the laboratory, things gradually spiral out of control.

Years later, the ordinary apprentice of the past has opened alchemy workshops across the Star Abyss, turning countless theoretical spells into reality.

Some call him a seeker of truth; others call him the greatest alchemy merchant in all the worlds.

Lance neither confirms nor denies it.

There's only one thing he still can't figure out: when he had just transmigrated, he was given two choices by the Heavenly Mandate Talisman.

[Recommended: Go to the cultivation world. Your path to immortality will be smooth | Great Fortune]

[Not Recommended: Reject the guidance and randomly fall into an unknown world | Great Misfortune]

And the choice he made at the time was...

"I want to see just how bad this great misfortune can be!"
