Chapter 50: Minor Occupations
The new system went live, and SalΓ© Rema's sub-career transfer office was overcrowded. Popular subclasses such as Alchemist and Forge Guild have players lined up outside the Alchemy Guild and Forge Guild Gate. Some players even played the toll queuing business, and earned gold coins effortlessly, so that Lin Qing had to admire the economic acumen of these people.
In order to be eye-catching, the people queuing on behalf of the generation all carried a large wooden sign with the crooked writing in animal blood, "Ancestral line-up, fifty silver each".
"A true businessman will not let go of a single gold coin that may be earned." Zhao Gongming, the richest man in the game before, said this to Lin Qing. At that time, Lin Qing didn't understand, but now he knows that businessmen have a keen sense of business opportunities and a shameless fanaticism for money.
Lin Qing was preparing to become an alchemist for that potion formula, and his ability to refine various potions could also save a lot of money for the guild in the early stage. Looking at the queue stuffed like a sausage, Lin Qing thought about giving up first, even if he lined up for one night, he wouldn't be able to take his turn.
"Isn't this little brother Lin Qing, who has come back from Diasus?" At this time, Walter passed by. He had a 50-point favorability for Lin Qing, and even his title changed, and he said with a smile: "You also come to learn alchemy." β
"Well, since I got the recipe for the potion, I studied it day and night, and I was full of curiosity about the magical skill of alchemy." Lin Qing was full of nonsense, and he heard Walter nodding again and again.
"I didn't expect you to have such a passion for alchemy, it seems that the recipe has found the right owner. The instant mana recovery potion is Godot's brainchild, and many merchants have tried to buy it at a large price without success, so don't bury it. Walter Education.
Older people like to educate young people like this, and Lin Qing nodded while listening to it, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment, and said, "What are you doing here, don't you go in?" β
"Queue, can't get in for the time being."
Listening to Lin Qing's words, Walter laughed and said quite mysteriously: "What kind of queue do you need to line up here if you have an old man?" Let's go in with the old man. β
"That's not good." "What's so bad about that. Do you think Godot would dare not give face to my old friend? Walter made the common mistake of a cultured person, and flaunted his rank in front of young people, "Follow me, I don't believe anyone dares to stop us." β
"Damn, why didn't that person line up!" "yes, no quality!" "Don't worry, anyone who cuts the queue will be blasted out." Someone wanted to cut the queue just now, but was thrown out by the guards guarding the door on all fours, and all the players in line waited to see Lin Qing's joke.
The orc guards saw Lin Qing coming up and stopped, "Adventurer, according to Article 7 of Chapter 6 of the Salerima Public Order Law, you can't enter without queuing. If you insist on breaking in, don't blame the two brothers for being polite. β
The orc guards are all level 100 high-level elites, so it's no wonder that players are so obedient to queue up. It seems that the game designers are well aware of the quality of the players, so they came up with this trick.
"Do you even want to stop the old man?" Walter walked out in a hurry, he deliberately let Lin Qing walk in front, so as to give full play to his majesty, making Lin Qing scold the scheming man in his heart.
Seeing the creator of Salerima's law, the orc guard was immediately deflated, nodded and said, "It turned out to be a respected university scholar, why didn't I see you just now." You can even come and go as you like the Lionheart Fortress, not to mention the tiny Alchemy Guild. β
Lin Qingxin said, This thing was hiding behind the pillar just now, where did you see it. Walter nodded with satisfaction and said, "This little brother Lin Qing is the hero who recaptured Place Town, you get out of the way, the old man wants to take him in." β
Hearing Pulis Town, the orc soldiers were in awe, and after apologizing to Lin Qing, they moved out of the way to the Alchemy Guild.
The Alchemy Guild is full of players who have turned into alchemists, who are refining the lowest level of potions, and if they pass the qualifications, they can officially become an alchemist. Due to the tight space, the newcomers were treated poorly. Not only are the alchemy equipment and raw materials quite shoddy, and there is a danger of explosion at any time, but there are no tables and chairs, so they can only squat on the ground to refine.
Looking at the poor player with a gray face fiddling with bottles and cans, Lin Qing, who walked into Godot's special alchemy room, was very embarrassed, and felt a sense of guilt for sugar daddy.
To Lin Qing's surprise, Godot's alchemy room was not cluttered, and all the glass bottles were neatly stacked on the table or in the cabinet. A variety of strangely shaped plants surround the three long, well-made tables, leaving only a narrow gap for people to enter and exit.
"What kind of flower is this?" Lin Qing asked, pointing to a four-petal flower that shone with a crystal blue light. This flower is different from ordinary plants, with a beard-sized stamens sticking out from the depths of the flower, and small star-like particles hanging from the top, adding a few dots of white to the main blue color.
"It's called the Star Orchid, and it's a rare and superb plant. If memory serves, Godot picked it from the top of a snow-capped mountain in the far north of the continent. "To be honest, I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, can you imagine a goblin climbing to the top of a snowy mountain several thousand meters high?" β
"Do you know the Goblin Kingdom?" Lin Qing remembered, since he was a university scholar, he must have known useful information, "I found a treasure map, and the treasure is marked in that place." β
Walter thought for a moment and said, "Ancient books do record that such a country is at the end of the Endless Sea, and no one can get there unless they know that they can sense the teleportation coordinates and open the portal. β
"Can't you take a boat?" Lin Qing was still thinking about the ship, "I still need to go to the Eternal Winter Continent to find someone." β
"By boat? Eternal Winter Continent? Walteller said, "Little brother, I advise you to die of this heart." No one knows the vastness of the Endless Sea and the dangers hidden within it, and it is impossible to build a large ship that can cross the Endless Sea with current shipbuilding technology. As for the Eternal Winter Continent, it is indeed recorded in the classics that humans have been there, but they are all legends, where do you go to find them? β
After Walter said this, Lin Qing sighed, feeling that the chances of completing the two tasks were very slim. Squeezed sideways to the table, there were stacks of thick research materials on it, remembering that it was something that Lin Qing couldn't understand. The alchemy equipment was still working, and a conduit led the repeatedly purified pitch-black potion into a small copper cauldron, where it boiled.
"This should be the antidote to demonic poison." Walt picked up a copy of the experiment and flipped through it with relish, "That money fan must be crazy." β
"Oh my God, you broke into my alchemy room!" The door was suddenly opened, and Godot, with his long white coat, howled like madness, "Get away from my darlings, it will smell of you!" β
"Oh, my Celestial Star Orchid. I just took it out to breathe and it was tarnished by the smell on your body! It's not perfect anymore! Godot nervously picked up the flower pot that held the star orchid, sniffed it carefully, and said, "There is no perfect potion without perfect materials, and how can there be perfect gold coins without perfect potions!" β
Walter explained: "Last time, the little brother was very interested in alchemy, so I will bring it to you. β
Godot puts the Celestial Orchid in an enchanted glass case, which is like a refrigerator that does not lose power, and can well preserve the Celestial Orchid, which likes ice and snow. After that, he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped onto a chair about the height of the table, grabbed his round-framed glasses and put them on, and said, "Not everyone can be an alchemist, and they need to undergo a strict assessment. Let me be the examiner, the words will be more severe, are you ready? β
Lin Qing nodded and said it was okay. Godot brought three vials from another table, each containing a red, yellow, and blue potion, and said, "The red potion is dragon's blood grass, the yellow one is the yellow head fungus, and the blue one is the purple orchid." Assess that your potion is a primary potion, a petrochemical antidote. Watch me do it first, and then you can do it according to the recipe and make me satisfied. β
Godot's stubby fingers are very dexterous, and he is very comfortable handling delicate alchemists. Even when it comes to the preparation of this rudimentary agent, he is very conscientious, extracting, mixing, removing impurities, purifying and other steps meticulously. Soon, a gray bottle of potion was baked.
Primary petrochemical antidote
Purity: 95
Can clear petrification above level 5.
"Haha, it's really a feast to see you, the alchemy master, refining potions himself." Walter picked up the petrochemical potion and said, "With such a high purity, I'm afraid only you can refine it." β
Walter is right, Godot's method of refining potions is like an art, which is an eye-opener for those who can see it, unlike the novices outside the door full of loopholes. Before Lin Qing could see it clearly, Godot took out such a high-purity potion, which was worthy of being a master.
"Hey, this set of alchemy equipment has been with me for decades, and although it is easy to use, it is still flawed. It is rumored that there is a set of alchemy equipment that has been passed down to the world from the hands of the gods in the heavenly realm, and with it you can refine the best potion with a purity of 100, which is the dream of all alchemists in their lifetime. Godot looked at the glass bottle in Walt's hand and said, in his opinion, that the 95-purity petrochemical was still imperfect, "It's your turn." β
A recipe was laid out on the table in front of Lin Qing, recording in detail the technique and time of each step. Lin Qing had no choice, so he had to rely on his vague memory to paint cats and tigers. In the face of bottles and equipment, he was known as the "God of Law", and his fingers were cramped and knotted.
Five minutes later, Lin Qing was able to prepare a bottle. The color is different from Godot's, it is reddish in color, and there are many fine impurities at the bottom. Godot picked it up and looked at it and said, "Purity 53, barely qualified as a novice." There is a problem with removing impurities and purifying, and taking it out to deal with the goods that no one wants. β
"So I passed?" Lin Qing's heart was pounding, he had little confidence in his work.
"Barely enough." Godot presented Lin Qing with a medal, "If it weren't for Walter's face, he wouldn't have let you pass." When you can practice a more advanced potion, come to me, and if you pass the assessment, I will award you a higher level of medal. β
