After the instrument was moved to the apartment.

Zhou Ming's work every afternoon shifted from studying magic to studying the configuration of potions.

Potions are still very important to magicians.

It is an important tool to increase the speed of meditation.

It also provides a lot of auxiliary functions in combat.

In short, for a good magician, potions and other props are indispensable.

Naturally, Zhou Ming also hopes to save some costs in this area.

I even want to open up a way to make a fortune.

Because after observing Zhou Ming, he found that in this plane, only in terms of the human world, more than 80% of the wealth is in the hands of magicians.

The Magician is the top of the pyramid.

On the one hand, the cost of becoming a magician is huge, and the investment of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins is all idle, and it is considered to cost less.

There are also many people who spend millions, tens of millions...... Every magician is piled up with gold coins.

And the annual financial income of Zhou Ming's Yadud Kingdom, I don't know if it exceeds 30 million gold coins?

On the other hand, it is very profitable.

A lowest-level buff staff sells for more than 10,000 yuan.

A bottle of [Tranquilizing Elixir] that guarantees a 3-day effect, priced at 1000.

A scroll encapsulated with level 1 magic that costs more than 300 gold.

There are also a variety of magic books, potion recipes, scroll making processes...... These knowledge carriers are very difficult to obtain and even more expensive.

How much can magicians who have mastered the above techniques and technical information earn after deducting the cost?

Anyway, in Zhou Ming's heart, there are only two words of evaluation: profiteering.

It will definitely be a huge profit.

Zhou Ming also realized that it was definitely easier to earn money from magicians than from nobles, and he could earn more!

He also plans to start with the profession of "pharmacist" and enter the market of magicians.

After that, he began to study in this area for more than half a month.

23 Herbs = [Tranquilizer]

He tried to make this process happen.

However, the preparation of potions is by no means as easy as ordinary people think.

The quality of the drug and the order in which it is put in.

pH balance.

Temperature control.

Control of the consistency of the agent.

Even the rate of stirring.

All factors are the key to determining whether the drug can be successfully formulated.

One detail was missed, and the preparation of the potion failed.

And the more types of drugs, the higher the complexity, and the higher the probability of failure.

For example, if there are 100 medicinal herbs, it takes 100 steps to prepare them, even if the success rate of each step is 99%, and after 100 steps, the preparation power is only 36%.

But in reality, even if it is a dozen flavors of medicinal materials, the preparation steps are not less than 100 steps.

The [Tranquilizing Elixir] that Zhou Ming wanted to prepare was recorded in the formula with 236 steps, and no mistakes could be made in each step.

In the first half a month, Zhou Ming consumed hundreds of medicinal materials, but he didn't succeed once.

And it costs money to buy medicinal herbs, even if the price of each serving of medicinal herbs, Store Manager Hall sold it to him at cost price - 35 gold coins per copy, and the loss of hundreds of copies is not a small number.

"Boy, the true form is revealed, right? It's still a month, I don't think you can make it for a year. Every time Zhou Ming came to buy medicinal herbs, Winnie couldn't help but taunt.

"Then do you want to bet on whether I can succeed in a month?" Zhou Ming still said.

"Hmph~!" Winnie twisted her head to the side and ignored him.

After buying the medicinal herbs, Zhou Ming continued to do his experiments and continued to improve.

In fact, an excellent pharmacist generally has two things in common: concentration and fine operation.

Concentration means that you can't get distracted in the process of preparing the medicine, you must cheer up and not relax in the slightest.

The fine operation is better understood, that is, in the preparation process, each step is very precise and in place, and there can be no mistakes.

These two points are not difficult for Zhou Ming, and they can even be perfect.

But why do you fail so many times?

"The host did not notice the details outside of the formal process, and the host did not understand many of the foundations and principles of pharmacy, and could not find the cause of failure. ”

"Only when you understand all the principles thoroughly can you find your way to success. ”

The system explains.

Zhou Ming nodded.

Even if he knows the answer, he still knows it but doesn't know why, and he doesn't know what the mistake is, and many low-level errors that are not recorded in the formula have become the source of his failure.

Learn.

First of all, the theoretical knowledge is solid.

He approached Store Hall and borrowed several books on pharmacy.

In addition, he bribed Carloz Page, the director of the Magic Bookstore, with magic cakes, stir-fried vegetables, wine, and other food, hoping that he would make it easier for him to read the books on pharmacy in his store.

For each meal, only one hour of borrowing time is given, and the books are guaranteed not to be damaged.

Carloz didn't want to deal with him at all, but when the food box was opened, the aroma of the dishes wafting from it always made his heart shake and he was unconsciously attracted to it.

One day he couldn't help it, so he took a sip.

After that, he became a slave to food, and he was addicted to those foods, and he couldn't leave them for a day.

Naturally, the rich collection of books in the "Page Magic Bookstore" also opened up reading privileges for Zhou Ming.

And Zhou Ming's reading speed is very fast, and he reads a million-word book in fifteen minutes, allowing the system to quickly enrich the database.

In this way, after about ten days of "charging", Zhou Ming, who had learned a lot of pharmaceutical theories, finally found that he had made too many low-level mistakes that should not have been made in his previous preparation experiments, which led to failures again and again.

After learning the theoretical knowledge, Zhou Ming made another preparation experiment, only failed twice, partially failed once, and finally prepared a "perfect level" [tranquilizer] for the fourth time.

Pouring the potion into a glass vial, he got a total of 10 vials of 10ml of [Tranquilizing Elixir] (this time, he put in ten parts of the raw materials).

In other words, Zhou Ming's success this time has earned back all the previous investment.

Looking at the golden liquid with perfect purity of the ten vials of [Tranquilizing Elixir] in front of him, Zhou Ming was quite emotional.

"No matter what world you are in, skills are just the shell, knowledge is the core, if you don't learn the knowledge well, no matter how exquisite and gorgeous the shell is, there will only be a bunch of bugs. ”

"This is especially true in this magical world, with enough knowledge, you can create almost countless impossibilities. ”

Therefore, no matter what field Zhou Ming wants to enter in the future, or what career rank badge he wins, he will first learn the knowledge in that field solidly.

……

December 10th.

It's been a month.

Zhou Ming carried a big bag on his back and came to the "Gannis Pharmacy" again.

When Winnie at the counter saw him, she began to taunt him as usual.

"What's the matter? You've come to buy medicinal herbs again? In the past month, you've purchased thousands of [Tranquilizing Elixir] medicinal materials, and the raw materials in the store are almost exhausted, have your potions been successfully prepared?"

"Actually, you should have made that bet with me, you missed a good opportunity. Zhou Ming looked at her and said.

"Yes, I should have promised to bet with you, in this world, there is no such thing as a novice who knows nothing to a character who can prepare a [tranquilizing potion], it is impossible to exist. ”

Winnie shook her head in annoyance, if she had nodded her head a month ago, today would have been the day to take the life of the hateful boy in front of her.

It's just that this kid doesn't have other skills, it's just that he's bluffing, and she has been fooled once, so dare to do it again?

Zhou Ming took off the bag on his back and put it on the counter, muttering in his mouth: "Fortunately, the bottle of [Dragon Blood Elixir] you invited me to drink last time made me feel a lot more strength, otherwise I would really not be able to carry these 500 bottles of [Tranquilizing Elixir] alone." ”

With that, he opened his backpack, revealing its contents.

Inside, it was a messy pile, without any individual packaging, all small glass vials containing golden potions.

A full 500 bottles of [Tranquilizing Elixir]!

"Boom~"

Winnie's brain exploded and she went blank.

500 bottles of [Tranquilizer]?

"This ...... How is this possible? How is this possible?"

"You made it, how could you make it?"

Winnie muttered, as if she had encountered the most incredible thing in the world.

Zhou Ming's words almost knocked her into the abyss.

"These 500 bottles are my share of the Gannis Pharmacy according to the agreement, and I still have 500 bottles at home, if you don't believe me, you can go to my house to have a look. ”

Not bad!

In five days, with almost 100% of the preparation power, Zhou Ming prepared 1,000 bottles of [Tranquilizing Elixir].

"Boom~"

Winnie rolled her eyes, almost fainting.

At this time, the store manager Hall came over, and after learning what Zhou Ming said, he was also surprised!

First of all, the exaggeration of the speed of the preparation of the potion had already made him feel that "this is impossible".

Secondly, he bought a total of more than 1,000 medicinal materials for Zhou Ming, except for the failed part, how did he use less than 1,000 medicinal materials to prepare a full 1,000 copies of [Tranquilizing Elixir]?

Even 100% of the prepared power is impossible!

"I improved the formula, and by improving the purification process, I improved the utilization rate of medicinal materials, so that the original 1,000 medicinal materials can be prepared into 1,200 medicines...... The utilization rate of medicinal materials has increased by 20%. ”

"In addition, I have reduced the number of preparation steps, streamlining the 236 steps in the formula to 171 steps, and ensuring that the efficacy is completely consistent. ”

"Mr. Hall, this is a new recipe that I have improved, you can take a look. ”

Zhou Ming took out a document from his pocket and handed it to the store manager Hall.

took the information and looked at the demon in front of him, and the store manager Hall didn't know what to say.

"Ah~!"

Winnie, who was on the side, seemed to be greatly stimulated, screamed, and ran to her room like crazy.

In front of Zhou Ming, the demon, she didn't seem to be able to stay for a second.
