Chapter Seventy-Four: If I make a mistake in one word, I will lose

After that incident, Ilubeck gave up on accepting another apprentice in this life.

But the words of "reward" have been said before, and if you want to refuse Rennes, you have to find a reasonable reason.

Thinking about it, the old man casually asked, "Since you are a doctor's apprentice, you should have heard of such an introductory classic as the "Encyclopedia of the Fundamentals of Pharmacy", right?" ”

"Of course you know."

Wren didn't understand what he was going to do for a moment, and nodded weakly.

The Encyclopedia of the Fundamentals of Pharmacy is not an esoteric book, but a record of the properties of tens of thousands of relatively common pharmaceutical materials, as well as some introductory knowledge.

But this book is an absolute nightmare for an apprentice who wants to get started with pharmacy.

Because it's thick, very thick!

It's not a book, it's a set of books, and it's as tall as a Rennes!

"I don't leave any waste in my lab, and even if I'm an apprentice, I'm sure I'm a genius with excellent learning qualifications."

Illubeck's expression was serious, and he asked a difficult question, "Now give you a week to go back and read." When the time comes, I will selectively find some questions in the Encyclopedia, and if you can answer them 100% correctly, you will be eligible to become a miscellaneous apprentice in my lab! ”

He used this method to dissuade countless apprentices who thought they were gifted.

......

Only... That's it?

Wren didn't have any fluctuations on his face when he listened, but his heart was happy.

If this old man asks some other professional questions to make things difficult for himself, he may really be able to stump him.

But it's the test of "endorsement"... I have a smart brain, isn't this a question for grading?

It just so happened that there was such an encyclopedia in Picis's collection at the beginning, and he also looked through it.

Wren thought about it, afraid of long nights and dreams, and decided to let the old man make a decision now.

He glanced at the old man's smug expression, and weakly repeated the question, "Doctor, what you said is true?" ”

"Nature is true!"

The corners of Ilubeck's mouth were filled with confident pride, and he said in an affirmative tone: "In a week, as long as you can answer my questions 100%, I will promise to let you be my apprentice in the laboratory!" ”

The old man's questions were harsh and tricky, and could be used to turn back almost anyone.

Even the most talented genius apprentice would not be able to memorize such a thick "Encyclopedia of the Foundations of Pharmacy" in a week.

Even if someone really has an amazing memory and can memorize most of the content, doesn't they still have a 100% correct requirement?

When the time comes, just find a few unpopular questions and ask them, won't there be an excuse to refuse?

How is it possible to remember every punctuation mark in such a boring book of millions of words?

Hehe, if you want to find faults, it's not easy?

At this time, what he didn't expect was that the kid on the other side not only didn't feel that this assessment was harsh, but spoke again.

......

Wren reconfirmed: "It's not... I mean, when the time comes, your questions will be the original content of the "Encyclopedia"? ”

"That's right!"

Ilubeck said, with an expression that I won't embarrass you, and explained: "Don't worry, after all, you are an apprentice, and this is just a test of your memory." I don't ask any complicated advanced questions..."

"Oh..."

Wren listened and nodded thoughtfully.

This question, he was completely relieved.

This assessment is all right.

Then, to Ilubeck's surprise, he didn't plan to leave the lab and go back to endorse it, but said quietly: "That... You ask. ”

“???”

The old man thought that he had misheard, or that the other party had misunderstood, "I said that I would give you seven days..."

Before the words could be spoken, Ilulbeck noticed that Wren's face was very calm, and there was an unpredictable calmness under his calm expression.

The old man felt that he had heard correctly, but he was a little incredulous, and asked, "You mean... Do you want to be assessed now? ”

"Yes."

Wren nodded, and said without blushing: "Dr. Ilubeck, contemptible and talented, has a slight talent for memory. To tell you the truth, as a person who has aspired to be an excellent doctor since I was a child, I have long memorized the "Encyclopedia". If you mention the book, I think I can answer it..."

This is said with full confidence, and there is no weakness at all.

If you want Ilrubek to make up her mind to accept the apprentices, you can't hide it at this time.

Since you want a genius, I'll give you a "super genius" that you can't refuse. No matter what means, hold Kim's thighs first.

What's more, Wren also felt that if he really had a famous teacher, and with the assistance of "smart brain", he would not be able to learn a famous hall by studying medicine, so don't wear it through this crossing, and drown yourself in the dung pit.

......

The more calm Wren became, the more Iluhek felt that Wren was an arrogant young man who didn't know what to do.

"Hehe... It's your own choice, don't blame me for not giving you a chance when the time comes! ”

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that his intelligence had been insulted.

But it is also in line with him, and this matter will be decided today, and it will save trouble in the future.

With a tone of waiting to see the joke, he asked directly: "Then let me ask you the first question, please recite the medicinal properties of the [Demon Worm], as well as all the parameter data!" ”

"Uh..."

As soon as Wren heard it, the "smart brain" had already projected the answer onto the retina.

But he didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it with a pretended frown.

This old man has bad intentions, and the first problem is a very unpopular potion material.

Ilubeck looked at Wren's efforts to recall, and forcibly increased the difficulty, and said seriously: "Pharmacy is a very rigorous science, and there is no room for error. So, if your answer to this question is even the slightest bit wrong with the book, you are wrong! ”

He felt that even if Wren knew the properties of this unpopular material, he might not be able to fully recite its properties.

This question, even if it is taken to the Royal Academy of Medicine in Omar, can be asked by 99% of doctors' apprentices, even regular doctors.

"Oh, I remember..."

But at this time, Wren felt that the time to pretend was also up, and replied directly: "If I remember correctly, the original text in the book is written like this: [Demon Worm], a terrestrial invertebrate of the Oligochaeta of the Annelida phylum, has an astringent taste, can be distilled to extract paralytic toxins, 550 °C flame incineration will produce a pungent odor, and 20 °C indoor shade storage..."

This statement, in order not to let the old man find fault, he directly memorized the entire text of the encyclopedia.

“???”

Sure enough, Ilubeck was dumbfounded.

Originally, he wanted to find a few mistakes, but when he heard it, he realized that it seemed to be completely correct!

Even... Even the word order is not messed up, it is exactly the original text of the "Encyclopedia"?

Didn't the blind cat run into a dead mouse, and just asked about a material that this kid was familiar with?

After a moment of shock on Ilubeck's face, he immediately returned to normal, and even a triumphant sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Tsk, I didn't say there was only one problem!

......

"Hmm... That's a good answer. ”

The old man nodded pretendedly, but his mind searched for more obtrusive questions.

Popular materials must not be asked, so only pick some materials that are only used by intermediate or even senior doctors.

At this time, he asked again, "Then you answer my second question, please recite the medicinal properties of the [Ancient Wraith Dust]..."

When Wren heard this, his heart snickered.

This problem is more out of the question, and it will indeed be difficult for the vast majority of apprentices, but it will not be difficult for themselves.

He thought for a moment before replying, "[Ancient Wraith Dust] is a high-grade magic material that is produced in damp cemeteries, usually found in the cranial cavity of wet corpses that are more than three thousand years old. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol; 300°C ignition point, incineration can produce hallucinogenic gas; Cryogenic storage below 5°C; It is often used to make elixirs to dispel spirits, and it is highly corrosive..."

The "Encyclopedia" explained in detail nearly 300 words, and it was recited by Wren crackling.

In order not to give the old man a chance to find faults, he asked again: "Dr. Ilubeck, I remember that there is an extended interpretation at the back of this material, and the content is a bit long, do you need me to recite it together?" ”

“...”

When Ilubeck heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Obviously, this fluency is definitely very familiar with the content, and it will not be difficult for him to memorize it.

His face became darker and darker, and he said indifferently: "No! Now you answer my third question, please tell me the details of the [Black and Evil Mandala Flower]..."

"The fourth question, you recite [The rhizome of the sunflower]..."

"The fifth question, you recite the [Dragon Pattern Holy Water]..."

"The sixth question, you recite [Heart Eater Mushroom]..."

The questions are more and more tricky, the more you ask, the more advanced you are, and the more you ask, the more obscure you become.

But as long as it is the content of the "Encyclopedia", it is not difficult for Wren at all, and he answers it fluently, memorizing word by word.

In the end, Ilubeck, whose face was getting darker and darker, actually changed his routine and asked the ninth question: "The ninth question, which page of the Encyclopedia [Blood Giant's Eyeballs] is..."

......

This is obviously a trick.

Even if you ask about the knowledge points, which page is it on?

In order not to accept Rennes as an apprentice, Ilubeck didn't even want to do the discipline.

He had thought that if Wren questioned the usefulness of the question, he would turn it back on the idea that pharmacists needed to be extremely "data acumen".

The opening of this question is a dark pit, as long as you answer which page, you must be wrong!

Unexpectedly, even if this was obviously a difficult question, Wren did not have any ambiguity, and replied directly: "If I remember correctly, it is on page 126 of the third volume, and of course there is half of the unfinished page 127." ”

His answer did not give the cunning old man any chance to pick on him.

“...”

After asking nine questions in a row, they were all answered perfectly.

At this moment, Ilrubek looked at Wren again, and he was not calm at all.
