"Let me swim, what are you doing in a daze, don't work yet!" Boss Cheng shouted.

"Do I still have to work? So what to do? Ren asked, scratching my head

"You have to start as an apprentice, and now you're only a junior apprentice, and you can only do odd jobs." Boss Cheng pointed to the piles of herbs piled up in the backyard and said, "Go and make those primitive herbs into medicinal raw materials, go!" ”

"Do I get paid to work here?" Ren You asked cautiously.

After all, Ren You is a cow and a horse in this game in order to survive and pay off debts, and the status of money in his heart is absolutely important. No profit can not be early, has gradually become a habit of thinking in any way.

"Remuneration?" Boss Cheng was almost furious, and shouted loudly in a thunderous voice, "You are an apprentice, and you still want to be paid?" If you don't want to do it, get out of here! ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, master." Let me swim hurriedly flatter, "Don't be angry, old man, isn't this a joke with you!" I'm going to work, I'm going. ”

So, in the next few days, in addition to helping Taikang Restaurant deliver food as always, Ren You spent almost all of his free time learning pharmaceutical techniques with Boss Cheng.

It should be said that Boss Cheng is not only an excellent intermediate pharmacist, but also a very good teacher. For the sake of Ren You's talent and diligence, coupled with his tutoring of his son, Boss Cheng can be said to have carefully taught and taught this apprentice.

At noon on the third day, under the guidance of Boss Cheng, Ren Wuyou was sweating profusely and prepared several herbs such as Panax notoginseng, thistle, arborvitae leaves, crane grass, purple beads, baiji, and dijin grass into small red medicine bottles. A long-awaited system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears, "Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for letting me play the medicine technique and upgrade to an intermediate apprentice." ”

"Well, yes, yes, you can teach!" Boss Cheng behind him twisted his withered yellow beard and exclaimed, "It took 10 days to be promoted to a junior apprentice and an intermediate apprentice in 1 month. And your kid has been promoted to an intermediate apprentice in just three days, it seems that you are really a pharmaceutical genius that is rare in a century! ”

"Thank you for the master's compliment, this is mainly due to the master's teaching!" Let me swim hunched over and replied modestly.

"Hahahaha. This kid is really good at talking. Boss Cheng's little eyes were almost gone, "I didn't expect that my old Cheng Tou was so old that he could still receive such a promising apprentice." It's so good, it's so good! ”

It seems that this NPC also likes sycophants.

"Master, when will I be able to make independent pharmaceuticals like you?" Ren You asked.

"The pharmaceutical industry is easy to get started and difficult to upgrade. Only when you are promoted to a high-level apprentice will you be able to independently craft the little red medicine and the little black medicine. When you reach the junior pharmacist, you can independently make small blue medicine and small green medicine. As for making a small gold medicine, it is something that is only possible for intermediate pharmacists. Weishi has been at the level of intermediate pharmacist for almost three years now, and he is still not completely sure that he will succeed in making Xiaojin Medicine! Boss Cheng sighed.

Depending on the nature of the drug, the difficulty of making the five drugs is also different. Red Pills for replenishing Qi and Blood and Black Pills for detoxification are the easiest to craft, Blue Pills for replenishing magic and Green Pills for releasing poison are of medium difficulty, and Gold Pills for increasing the chance of skill rage are the hardest to craft. Some other potions with special effects are even more difficult to make.

According to the content and purity of the drug, each medicine is divided into small vials, traditional Chinese medicine vials, large vials and extra-large vials.

Ren You listened carefully to Boss Cheng's explanation, and realized how difficult it is to achieve perfection in the pharmaceutical profession. However, since I have chosen this profession, I must reach the pinnacle and be unparalleled in the world. Although you are not the material for killing monsters and upgrading, there is always one aspect that is suitable for you to develop and master.

On this day, Ren You just came to the "Cheng Ji Pharmacy" to continue learning pharmaceutical technology, and Boss Cheng said to him, "Let Me You, I have a task to deliver items, are you willing to do it?" ”

Immediately, a system prompt came to mind, "Ding Dong." Players let me swim, do you accept the task of delivering items from the boss of the pharmacy? ”

Help the Pharmacy Boss deliver items (Normal Quest)

Description of the mission; Help the owner of the pharmacy to deliver the designated items to the designated place and retrieve the designated tokens.

Rewards: 50 XP, 200 Copper Coins, and a Green Ghost Dagger.

Ren You did not hesitate to confirm the acceptance of the task, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Hahaha, the emperor pays off, I finally waited for another task. You don't need to kill monsters, you just need to run errands, you can get experience rewards, and you can get equipment. This is much better than delivering food to Taikang Restaurant, and this is also the best way to show loyalty to Boss Cheng!

"Sending items? Master, what you command, even if you are an apprentice, you must complete it! Ren You replied loudly.

"Good! is worthy of my old Chengtou's apprentice! Boss Cheng smiled and handed Ren You a silver-white metal box, "Let me swim, you can send this box to Su Yuanwai's house in Sujiazhuang, twenty miles outside Longyou Village, in one day, and retrieve the herbs he specially picked for me." ”

"Twenty miles outside the village? Master, is it dangerous on the way there? "The first concern of any tour is my own safety.

Yes, the current Let Me Swim can be completely described as powerless. Although he learned a few monster-killing techniques from June Feixue, due to the basic attributes of his own special characteristics, it was difficult for him to kill a first-level and third-level monster now. If he encounters more powerful monsters along the way, he will have to kill himself.

"You follow the map I gave you, and you'll be fine. There will be no monsters on the road. "Boss Chen also knows Ren Wuyou's current physical condition, so he is very well prepared in advance.

"No problem. Master, you can rest assured that you can wait for my good news! Before I finished speaking, I walked out with the metal box in my arms.

"Oh, let me go, there's one more thing I want to warn you of. You must be careful when passing by Red Maple Mountain, there are a lot of bandits on that mountain! Boss Cheng reminded behind him.

Ren You only cared about completing the task to get the reward, and didn't take Boss Cheng's last reminder to heart.

With the map provided by Boss Cheng, let me rush to Sujiazhuang in the east of Longyou Village. Along the way, except for seeing a few low-level players looking for monsters to kill and some yellow monsters who don't take the initiative to hurt people, there were no accidents.

After walking more than half of the journey, a high mountain covered with red maple leaves stretched in front of me for swimming.

According to the tip, there are two paths to choose from to get through this Red Maple Mountain. One is to pass through this mountain and go directly to Sujiazhuang, and the other is to bypass this mountain and arrive at Sujiazhuang by another road. This second road is flat, but it takes several kilometers longer than the first.

Looking up at the fiery red mountain, I decided to venture through it. Although the mountain road is steeper, it is suitable for exercise, the scenery along the way is also good, and the main thing is to save travel time. Now I am traveling, almost all my thoughts are put on learning and practicing pharmaceutical skills, time is money!

As for the bandits on the mountain mentioned by Boss Cheng, Ren You didn't pay attention to it at all. Anyway, my luck is high, so I shouldn't encounter any bandits.

I made up my mind, and I rolled up my trousers and walked towards Red Maple Mountain.

Along the way, the red maple becomes a forest, the maple leaves are like fire, the mountain road is winding, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The so-called bandits, not even a single human hair.

When I was secretly rejoicing, my feet suddenly softened, and the whole person fell into a big trap at once. As soon as it was dark, he didn't know anything.

"Whoa—"

I only heard a very loud splashing sound, and then I felt a chill all over my body. After a series of chills, Ren Wuyou finally came to his senses.

Seeing a few figures shaking in front of me, Ren You's heart was about to pop out. However, before his heart could completely jump out, it fell deep again.

I only felt that my whole body was sore, the cold air penetrated my bones, my arms were numb, and my feet were hanging in the air. The body dangled like a wooden stick in mid-air—my God, I was hanging from a dilapidated hut.

"Damn, it's been a bit of luck today! After guarding for most of the day, I thought I had caught a big fish, but who knew that it was a poor ghost with few fart! It's been a busy day again! ”

A burly, meaty man was sitting in front of me in the air. He scolded viciously, and then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm unceremoniously towards Ren You.

As soon as he looked at the few murderous and menacing guys in the room, Ren Wuyou finally understood his situation - it turned out that he had fallen into a trap and fell into the hands of a nest of bandits.

Let me use an observation technique to take a closer look.

Red Maple Mountain Bandit Boss (Humanoid)

Grade:???

Attack:???

Defense:???

Blood:???

Let me swim for a moment. His level is only level 1, and he can observe up to level 11 players and monsters. Since the level and various attributes of this bandit mini-boss are a series of "? ", that means that the other party's level must be more than level 11.

At this time, Ren You began to secretly regret that he didn't listen to the old man, and suffered a loss in front of him. If you take Boss Cheng's advice to heart and walk a few more kilometers, you won't fall into this fierce bandit's den.

Ren Youyou, who was lamenting the suffering of life and praying sincerely, suddenly felt a chill on his neck. A small bandit was holding a large knife to his neck.

"Boy, tell me quickly, you don't have anything of value yet? If you hand it over and make the young masters happy, maybe you can let you live. If not, I'll chop you into a bun and eat it! The little bandit smirked and threatened.

The chill on his neck did not scare Ren Wuyou, but made him calm down quickly.
