Chapter 5: The Bet
One of the things you have to do before entering the alchemist is to wear a specific medical suit, because in the alchemist experiment, it is often the case that the furnace is fried, or some medicinal herbs with trace amounts of toxins stick to the body.
Wearing specific medical gowns can play a role in isolation and shock protection.
Therefore, before entering the alchemist's laboratory, it is necessary to wear this specific medical suit, which has also become a part of the test.
Qin Lan stood on the podium, looked at the crowd in the audience, and saw that everyone had stopped making noise, with a slightly sweet smile on her face, and said: "Students, this experimental test is very important, I believe you have also heard about it, that's right! The results of this test are related to whether or not you can participate in the alchemist conference, so I hope that every student can give full play to their abilities and have a good result." ”
Qin Lan's voice was actually not loud, but no one in the audience spoke, and they were all listening attentively. So her words reached everyone's ears.
"Bang Bang!"
The audience burst into warm applause.
"The duration of the test is two and a half hours. ”
"Then the rest of the time will be handed over to everyone. ”
After speaking, Qin Lan stood aside.
………………
"Add the Wood Spirit Flower and turn the fire down, the Wood Spirit Fire is not very spiritual, and the fire will be over. ”
Chu Ran wrote the report, and Wang Chen completed it one by one according to Chu Ran's instructions, sweat continued to fall on his fair face, but he had no time to care about anything else, staring intently at the medicine furnace in his hand, for fear of putting the wrong medicinal herb, so the hand holding the medicinal herb trembled slightly.
There is no way, if he didn't pay a lot of attention to the previous alchemy test, this test is related to the number of candidates for the alchemist conference.
The Alchemist Conference is an important competition in the world, and alchemists from all over the world go to participate.
The Alchemist Conference is held every four years by the World Alchemist Federation, and the venue is determined by voting.
This year, it happens to be held in Yanjing, and it is said that the first place winner will receive the Medal of Honor of "First Order Alchemist", and at the same time, he will be able to hope to enter the Central District Science and Technology Institute to get the opportunity to observe.
The Central District Institute of Science and Technology is the best science and technology student in the country, and many top alchemists, scientists, physicists, and mathematicians are gathered here.
An opportunity to observe is not simple. Because you are facing the top bosses in the scientific community, and Wang Haodong, a well-known academician of the Academy of Science and Technology, he also has a layer of identity, a sixth-order alchemist.
Alchemists are all ranked, from one to ten levels, from low to high, the higher it goes, so to speak, it seems that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Graduates from high school to university, no matter how good your theory is, it is impossible for you to become a first-order alchemist.
If you don't go to the government's Alchemist Alliance to register for the exam, even if you are what we call a first-order alchemist, or you really have the level of a first-order alchemist, without a certificate from the government, you are a liar with no evidence.
It is even more difficult to become a first-order alchemist.
Therefore, Wang Chen and Chu Ran couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Because there are only twenty places for each school to participate in this alchemist conference.
There are tens of thousands of people in Qinghe Middle School, and the twenty places are as sought-after as a peerless treasure, and the competitive pressure is not small.
"Cut the wood spirit fruit, take out the seeds inside, and put the shell aside, it is still useful to keep. ”
Chu Ran looked at the medicine stove and wrote quickly in his hand.
Wang Chen did so, and cut the wood spirit fruit open, flowing out a green-like liquid. Then use specific small tweezers to clip out the small white seeds inside, and then put them into the medicine furnace.
"Increase the heat and boil. Chu Ran said calmly.
Wang Chen was a little nervous, and when he added the fire, he adjusted the temperature of the fire more than expected, and the medicine furnace was boiling.
Fortunately, he adjusted it in time and there were no mistakes.
"Don't be nervous, take it easy. ”
In fact, he and Wang Chen had done more than a dozen experiments in refining the Wood Spirit Pill, and the process was extremely familiar.
But for Wang Chen's nervousness, Chu Ran can understand, after all, this is related to his own future, and anyone will have this mood.
So he comforted Wang Chen.
"Wait for it to boil for fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, add some Ice Spirit Spring, and then add the juice of the Wood Spirit Grass......"
Chu Ran said: "I'll write a report for a while, you can watch it." By the way, don't throw away that Wood Spirit Fruit Shell, I'll keep it for a while. ”
"Good. Wang Chen nodded, didn't ask more, and immediately stared at the medicine furnace intently, calculating the time in his heart.
Seeing this, Chu Ran's heart relaxed slightly, and he immediately picked up the pen and wrote the experiment report.
Chu Ran was writing, and when he was halfway through writing, Shi Hao on the opposite side walked over, looked at Chu Ran condescendingly, and said, "Chu Ran, has your pill refining been completed? I only took twenty minutes to complete the Wood Spirit Pill, what about you?"
The smug and provocative look on Shi Hao's face was undisguised.
When everyone in the room heard this, they were all surprised by his speed, and immediately looked at Shi Hao with adoring eyes.
Shi Hao enjoyed the moment of great attention, the grievances he ate from Chu Ran's side in the last monthly exam were finally recovered, if it weren't for so many people, he really wanted to find a place where no one was laughing to vent his feelings.
Chu Ran stopped the movement in his hand, glanced at Shi Hao calmly, and said lightly: "It's still a little short, congratulations." ”
Seeing Chu Ran's unsalty and indifferent attitude, Shi Hao was not angry, but asked extremely enthusiastically: "Chu Ran, do you need me to help you, if I make a move, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Shi Hao's words are true, he is a fire attribute awakener, an innate fire spirit root, he can control fire by nature, and the degree of control over fire can be described as simple as eating.
There is such a reason, refining the elixir is naturally more than twice as easy as ordinary people.
"No, I believe in myself, thank you Shi Hao. After Chu Ran finished speaking, he buried himself in writing a report.
Shi Hao was a little annoyed, but still smiled: "Don't refuse so quickly, I haven't finished my words yet." ”
When Chu Ran heard this, he frowned and said, "What?"
"Do you dare to make a bet?" Shi Hao asked with a smile on his eyebrows.
"Bet on what?" Chu Ran asked.
"Well, let's bet on the test results this time, if my score is higher than yours, then I want you to be my servant at this alchemist conference for a week. Shi Hao said.
He is testing Chu Ran's confidence, if Chu Ran responds, then he has full confidence to win against Chu Ran, if Chu Ran does not agree, it means that he regretted treating Chu Ran as an opponent before, and he will recklessly retaliate against Chu Ran.
"What if you lose?" Chu Ran asked.
"If I lose, that three-grade fire attribute herb, a hundred-year-old fire phoenix branch, will be given to you. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at Shi Hao with envy, and they couldn't believe that Shi Hao actually had such a good medicinal material.
Although each herb has different properties, they all have the same grade.
One to nine.
From low to high, the higher the grade of medicinal materials or herbs is a good guarantee for alchemists, first of all, the higher the herb, the higher its spirituality, the better the medicinal properties, and the stronger the aura.
With good medicinal materials, there is already a guarantee.
But at the same time, the higher the grade of medicinal herbs or herbs, the more difficult it is to obtain, and the higher the cost of money.
Although the grade of the fire phoenix branch is only three grades, its spirituality is high, although the medicinal properties are not good, but it is very stable, fifty years is medium, one hundred years is the most, and the fire phoenix branch that has reached a hundred years is full of spiritual energy, which can almost be compared with the five grades of medicinal materials.
You must know that Wupin Pill was recently sold at auction for one billion RMB.
This is equivalent to Shi Hao using one billion RMB to make a bet.
Even a wealthy person like Qin Lan, after seeing this, couldn't help but sigh that Shi Hao was rich.
After Lin Shixue heard the name "Fire Phoenix Branch", she turned her head to look at Shi Hao, and then glanced at Chu Ran again.
sighed slightly, and then started to write the report again, silently in his own world.
Chu Ran is naturally not unfamiliar with the name Huo Fengzhi, he has seen it on TV several times, and it is a full billion RMB.
"This Shi Hao is so ruthless in order to bet with me. ”
He was very interested in Huo Fengzhi, but he was also thinking about whether the deal was worth it.
Shi Hao had an expression of "you will definitely agree", as if all this was being planned, like a fishing Jiang Taigong, waiting for the fish to come.
