Chapter 116: New Assessment Items
Ignoring Zhou Xuanwen's grievances, Wu Fan directly took Jiang Shihan and Mu Yanran to Shengchen City, and along the way, the three of them didn't say much, they seemed to have something on their minds, and they just hurried away in silence.
Soon, the three of them came to Shengchen City.
Without much wandering, Wu Fan raised his feet and walked in the direction of the Alchemist Association, he had less than two days left now, Mu Yanran glanced at Wu Fan more, I don't know why he was so anxious, but he didn't ask more.
"Wow!"
When Jiang Shihan came to the door of the Alchemist Association, she was amazed by this magnificent decoration style, and couldn't help but sigh.
When Wu Fan disappeared a few days ago, she was only looking for her at the gate of the city, and she did not come to the Alchemist Association.
Seeing this extremely luxurious arrangement, and comparing her own poor experience since childhood, Jiang Shihanxiu clenched her fists, and she secretly swore in her heart: In the future, she will get ahead, so that the people she loves will no longer suffer and suffer!
Wu Fan came to the reception, and a young and beautiful maid received them and asked, "Hello, can I help you?"
Wu Fan nodded and replied, "I want to participate in the alchemist assessment, can I arrange it as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, the maid's beautiful eyes opened slightly, she didn't expect that the man in front of her who looked so young would actually come to participate in the assessment, because usually middle-aged men with beards often come.
After all, the profession of alchemist relies not only on talent, but also on the accumulation of long-term experience.
"Please come with me! There are exactly two examiners today, and you can take the exam with them. β
As she spoke, the maid led Wu Fan to the right aisle.
Soon, the four of them walked through the long corridor to a spacious lobby, which was even more luxuriously furnished, almost everywhere was trimmed with gold, and there were many precious frescoes and porcelain.
At the same time, the two assessors who had been sitting in the lobby for a long time also saw Wu Fan and his party, one of them was very thin, with thick dark circles, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and there was a big black mole on the right side of his face, which looked a little oozing.
The other was taller, but he was no less old, looking to be in his thirties or forties, with a full beard, giving the impression that he was a warrior rather than an alchemist.
Before Wu Fan could speak, his beard began to shout dissatisfiedly: "I said that you are going the wrong way? This is the waiting area for the alchemist assessment, and the alchemy apprentice is not qualified to enter!"
Obviously, he regarded Wu Fan and the others as alchemy apprentices, after all, they were too young to look like they had come to participate in the assessment at all.
Wu Fan frowned slightly, he knew that the most classic villain took the initiative to provoke, and then the plot of being slapped in the face was coming. Although he likes this part of the content as a reader, he prefers to be quieter when it comes to being the main character.
Therefore, he was silent, and wanted the maid to take the initiative to explain, so as not to attract hatred himself.
Sure enough, although the maid was a little nervous, she still explained: "This is also an assessor, and he will conduct the assessment with you." β
"What are you talking about? Let me be assessed with a doll? Do you look down on the profession of alchemist too much?"
Hearing this, the beard flew into a rage, and he scolded loudly: "Believe it or not, I told you about this,
You're going to lose your job?"
The maid's beard was so frightened that she became even more nervous, and her big eyes were full of red, and there seemed to be tears rolling in them.
She is just a little maid, let alone an alchemist, and even an alchemy apprentice she can't afford to mess with.
Seeing that the maid was implicated because of himself, Wu Fan couldn't sit still anymore, he took a step forward, blocked in front of the maid, and replied lightly: "Wen Da has a precedence, and there is a specialization in the art industry." You yourself are a frog at the bottom of a well, and you don't allow others to fly first?"
"Stinky boy, what are you talking nonsense?!"
The beard was furious, and he couldn't wait to teach Wu Fan a lesson on the spot, if he hadn't taken into account that this was an alchemist association, he was not allowed to do it, he would have done it a long time ago.
"Hmph! Even if you learn alchemy slowly, you still look down on people who are younger than you and learn faster than you. Uncle, you are jealous of your talents, this is a disease, and you have to be cured!"
Wu Fan replied unceremoniously, in terms of the degree of poisonous tongue, if he dares to call it second, no one dares to call it first!
"Boy, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
The bearded man directly condensed a third-level magic fire blade in the air!
Wu Fan held his breath and looked at the fire blade that exuded a blazing high temperature, and at the same time, it also had a very powerful cutting power, and it was difficult for him to block this move at all, but he was not panicked......
"Stop!"
A loud shout exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
The beard seemed to be affected by it, and the condensed fire blade in his hand dissipated directly, looking uncertain.
Then, a gray-haired old man walked out of the secret room, although he was old, but he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and his steps were like the wind, and the whole person exuded a majestic momentum.
"Vice President!"
The maid and the two assessors hurriedly saluted, especially the beard, who was originally not afraid of anyone, but now he was uneasy.
Seeing this, Wu Fan and the others immediately followed suit.
However, while Wu Fan saluted, he deserted in his heart: he had broken through the third order and become an official magician, but there were still a few magicians who could do it, and he didn't even know a second-level magic, so he had to practice hard when he found time......
"What a big guts! Dare to do it in the Alchemist Association! I don't think you take us seriously?" the old man snorted angrily.
"Don't dare! It's all my fault, I hope the vice president will forgive me!
Sweat flowed from his beard's nervous head, but he knew that the vice president in front of him was the first person under the president!
Notoriously iron-faced selfless! I can't rub a little sand in my eyes!
"Yan Bin, right? I see that you have come to the test several times, why haven't you passed?"
The old man squinted, and his tone was still so unkind.
Yan Bin didn't dare to reply, but just stood aside with his head bowed, for fear that he would continue to anger the vice president.
"Hmph! if you dare to have a next time, you won't have to take the test in your life!" the old man finally gave him a chance.
When Wu Fan heard this, he inadvertently had a good impression of the old man, and he liked this kind of person who was upright and did things according to the rules.
The old man stood in front of everyone, frowned and scolded: "Only those who are examined are allowed to enter the lobby!
The maid hurriedly replied and took Jiang Shihan and Mu Yanran out of the door, but they stood outside the door and didn't leave, obviously wanting to watch the assessment process of the three of them.
The assessment of the alchemist was fair and open, and it was not said that others were not allowed to watch it, so the old man glanced at it and stopped paying attention to them.
"The old man's name is Xu Chen, and he is the vice president of the Alchemist Association, you can call me Xu Lao or the vice president. The president is not in the Tianchen Kingdom because of something, so I will preside over today's alchemist assessment, do you have any doubts?" Elder Xu said slowly.
"Don't dare. β
The three of them hurriedly shook their heads in denial, joking, who dared to have doubts about the vice president of the Alchemist Association?
Unless he didn't want to get mixed up in the circle of alchemists......
Originally, there were only two parts of the assessment, namely the identification of the elixir and the refining of a first-class pill, as long as both of them passed, you could pass, but the host of the assessment has the right to change a little rule within the specified range, in order to better consider your skills, the old man decided to add another assessment item to the analysis of the pill!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people changed, especially Wu Fan, what he had been preparing was the first two, and now he suddenly came to analyze a waste pill, in case this waste pill was something he had never refined, what would he use to analyze it?
The other two also looked extremely ugly, they had long known that Xu Lao's assessment was notoriously difficult, but they didn't expect that now they would directly add an additional assessment item, didn't this extinguish their slim hope?
Elder Xu ignored them, and still said to himself: "As we all know, even the best alchemists will have a time to refine the waste pill. It's not terrible to refine the waste pill, but it's terrible to not know what I'm wrong with, so I will still be wrong next time. Therefore, finding out the reasons for failure and summing up lessons from the waste pill is the basic ability that an alchemist should have. β
"If you can't even pass this level, the remaining two levels, barely passing in time, are just a faΓ§ade. Therefore, our first test is directly the analysis of the waste pill, rest assured, the old man will not be too embarrassed for you, there are more than a dozen mistakes in this waste pill, as long as you find more than fifty percent, I will count you over. β
Hearing that as long as fifty percent, the expression of the bearded and black mole man soothed a little, after all, they have studied alchemy together for more than ten years, and there are a lot of waste pills refined on weekdays, and they are full of experience, as long as the requirements are not too harsh, it should be no problem.
But Wu Fan is different!
As long as he took a random pill that he hadn't refined, he would be blind, and he couldn't even be blinded......
"Someone, go and fetch the three waste pills I prepared. β
Xu Lao waved his hand and ordered his subordinates on the side, while he himself sat leisurely on the high chair and began to make tea.
At this moment, Wu Fan is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he has less than two days left, and he has no chance to start all over again, as long as he fails this time, he will really be finished.
"What to do?
Wu Fan racked his brains, but he didn't have any ideas, just when he was extremely anxious, the system seemed to sense Wu Fan's call, and the cold system prompt sounded:
"Ding~ After the system is upgraded, new functions have been opened to consume a certain amount of worship value, find and correct the defects in other people's magic or combat skills, this guidance function includes pills, weapons, physical defects, etc. β
