Chapter 21: Becoming an Alchemy Apprentice
On the return ship, Dali's longing for an infinitely better future was soon plagued by grim realities.
It's not difficult to upgrade to level 50, but the difficulty is to practice a high-level production skill, which is troublesome, it took me nearly a thousand gold coins to quickly produce a high-end jewelry, and now there are only 500 gold coins left, how to rush the skill? It's hard! And he only said that this is a condition for joining the organization, and the conditions for learning the formula have not been said, and God knows how much money will be used in the future?
Don't think about it if you can't think of it, at this time, Dali didn't close his eyes day and night, and he couldn't sleep anymore, maybe he woke up and the boat went straight to the bridge.
The bell of the pier woke up Dali, and the ship reached Nasaiyan.
At this time, it is getting dark. Today's mentor often doesn't have time to do it, of course, she won't post tasks when she looks for her at this time, and people are in a hurry to get off work. It is not necessary to do it every day, even if it is delayed for a few days, the progress of the regular is still retained, but if it is delayed for a long time, there will be problems, and lazy and slack comments are indispensable.
Then go find the little girl, she should still be there, right?
Sure enough, Emily jumped up and beckoned when she saw Dali far away. Dali couldn't help sighing, what "treasure" will she give me today?
Emily clenched her strong hand and didn't let go: "Brother! You're finally here! My mom wants to see you! You must go! ”
Oh? Haha, hahaha, finally! Keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, my hard work for more than ten days has not been in vain! Why did you suddenly want to see me? Is it because of my prestige and worship?
Vigorously smiled: "Okay, take me quickly, I've always had something to find her!" ”
It's still the smoky underground lab, and the red-haired Jessica in the fiery red robes is still the same thing, and under the various mist of the test bench, she looks like a bloodthirsty witch from hell. But, in the eyes of Vigor, here is like heaven, she is like an angel!
Jessica smiled and said, "I heard Emily say that you are looking for me in the past few days, but I haven't had time, I'm really sorry, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”
If it had come a few days ago, Dali would have directly persuaded her to "cooperate, I'll sell you the jewelry at a low price, and then you sell it to Osama, and everyone will make money", but today, today Dali changed his mind, and it was because of Johansen, an NPC who can give players a set. Although the rules of the booster have always warned the booster not to despise NPCs, he has always acted vigorously according to the strategy and has not made any mistakes, and he has slackened over time, but today Johansen almost let himself jump off the building to finish!
No matter how famous the NPC may be, there is always the mastermind of the system standing behind it, and you, a player, say to the spokesperson of the system, "Let's work together!" Let's get around the system and do business! - What is this called? Seek skin with the tiger! Don't be too 2!
I have to say that the vigorous efforts of those days were indeed blinded by interests. However, Jessica does have the ability to circumvent the recycling system, perhaps intentionally by the game designer, or by negligence on the part of the game designer. In uncertain circumstances, her function can only be used secretly, and must not be bought and sold openly. Otherwise, the system found out that it was directly corrected online, not to mention, maybe it would be banned vigorously.
How to use it covertly? This should be the same as misleading the system, in short, you must not say "buy and sell" in front of her, because such a sensitive and important keyword will never escape the system's review. How to implement it, the time was rushed and I didn't think about it, but in the short time I accompanied Emily downstairs, I thought of a long-term plan!
He bowed vigorously and said, "Lady Jessica, I want to worship you as a teacher and learn alchemy!" ”
Jessica was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You've been looking for me for a few days just for this?" That Antonio in the town is an officially listed alchemy trainer, so if you don't look for him, you will come to me? ”
"Because I've heard Mr. Osama say that Madame is conducting a great study, a potion that can enhance the effects of spells for a long time. ”
Jessica snorted coldly: "He won't say anything like great research, you don't need to say good things, if your purpose is to share my results, then you will be disappointed, because my research has not made any progress at all!" ”
Dali's purpose was not Jessica's research results in the first place, he just wanted to find an opportunity to get close to her for a long time and slowly study the breakthrough, and by the way, he was just using alchemy as a secondary production skill. How to answer it next, to give her a convincing reason, but Dali is by no means the kind of person who thinks quickly, seeing that her face has become impatient, there is no time to think!
I had to bite the bullet and say: "Madam, I have learned alchemy and can help, two people have a better chance of success than one person!" ”
"Aha!" Jessica laughed wildly, her eyes were fierce, and she looked at her vigorously: "You have just been promoted to high jeweler today, and it is the critical stage of your career start, and you are not doing your job but you came to me to learn alchemy?" ”
The tone is not good! People think I've got bad intentions! It's over, it's over! Vigorously broke out in a cold sweat, but he had to hold on to the end: "It's always good for young people to learn more things......
"--Puff" Jessica immediately squirted, "Sure enough, the old thing sent you!" ”
Dali was stunned: "Old thing? Who? ”
Jessica sneered, "Pretending to be stupid? Didn't Osama send you to help? ”
It dawned on him that this old-fashioned tone of young man was not Osama's mantra? That's right! If it was Osama who sent himself to help, then the reason is explained! However, this did not fit the procedures of the mission, because Osama did not send himself at all. The reason why she came to this conclusion is obviously the result of being misled by herself! The system can mislead, but it cannot be deceived. So it must not be admitted!
Dali immediately denied: "No, no, he definitely didn't send me, I really want to learn!" ”
Jessica said coldly: "Do you really want to learn?" ”
Nodding vigorously and firmly: "I really want to learn!" ”
Jessica sneered, "That's right, from the happy look on your face when I saw you enter the door that day, I knew that you really wanted to learn!" ”
Damn! Will say the opposite? This AI shouldn't be too good! In other words, isn't it just looking for you to learn some alchemy? You're not a famous master and you don't have any achievements, as for your own tattered foundation as a treasure that can't be passed on? Dali was very depressed, so he had to argue: "That's because I never thought this would be a laboratory, and I just entered the door, and the smell was not suitable all of a sudden." ”
Silence, oppression. Finally, Jessica looked away from her forced gaze and sighed, "Okay, I can teach you!" ”
Dali breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Thank you, madam!" ”
"Don't thank you yet!" Jessica said in a deep voice: "I declare in advance that my level will not be higher than that trainer in the town, so don't expect too much, and since you said that you are here to help, then you have to have a help, I am very busy here, I do need a handy deputy, you must do chores for me for at least three hours a day, and the salary is not paid!" If you can't do it, then please go back. ”
Vigorously hurriedly said: "Please madam, no, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to do it!" Ah, I can't say too much, and I hurriedly asked: "If there is really an emergency one day, can I ask for leave?" ”
Jessica snorted coldly: "Yes, of course you can, if you can do two days in one day, then you can take a day off, and if you can do a week's work in one day, then you can take a week off." ”
That's good, the task is not wrong, and I put my mind at ease: "Teacher, I have no problem, please teach me skills!" ”
"Sign first!" Jessica coldly handed over a contract.
Vigorously take a look, the content of the contract is exactly the content of the conversation just now and various disciplinary clauses, and the fine for breach of contract is 1,000 gold coins - damn! This contract must have been drawn up for a long time! It turns out that she has long wanted to take in an apprentice! A mouthful of old blood sprayed on the screen, obviously she should have taken the initiative to beg me, just like Osama! Ruthless enough, calm enough! Lao Tzu signed!
No, there is a problem with this contract, and the termination conditions are not written! If you sign it, won't it be a deed of sale for life? Good for you, insidious NPC! Now that she knows that she is actually earning her heart, she has the capital to call for it.
Dali hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, I can't work with you for the rest of my life, right?" There has to be a deadline for this contract, right? ”
Jessica slapped her forehead and said with a dry smile, "Oh? Is that so? Forget to forget, sorry, since you're here to help me do the research, then the deadline is for you to help me complete the research, right? ”
What happened just now scared Dali awake, and he asked relentlessly: "What project research has to be completed clearly!" ”
Jessica glared, "Of course, it's the research of super magic energy elixirs!"
Super magic potions! A potion that lasts for a day to increase the effect of a 5% spell, and sure enough, it's it! A famous fortune medicine in the previous life! Could it be that she researched this medicine in her previous life? Don't be a man! If so, the contract must be signed!
Dali's heart was determined: "No problem, I'll sign - wait!" ”
Jessica said impatiently, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He said with a greedy face: "I help the teacher complete the research, of course I should have the right to share the teacher's results, right?" ”
Jessica said, "Of course, it's normal for students to share their teacher's results"
He sneered vigorously and said, "Then, please add this one to the teacher!" ”
"Hmph" Jessica glared vigorously, grabbed the contract and changed it, and threw it over: "Is there any more questions?" ”
Laughing vigorously: "No! ”
- System Prompt: You have learned elementary alchemy.
"Now, you have learned elementary alchemy, this level can't help me with chores at all, you have to get started as soon as possible, the first step is to identify the material, the second step is to use the instrument, the third step is to configure the potion, I don't have time to teach you, you learn it yourself!" After Jessica finished speaking, she threw away a lot of elementary textbooks, and the enlightenment reading materials came out.
Damn, even the textbooks have been prepared for a long time. You're ruthless! However, since he is an apprentice, he has to behave himself, so he asked vigorously, "Teacher, what difficulties are you encountering in the research of Fa Energy Elixir now?" If it's a material, I'll help give it to the teacher's attention. ”
Jessica said, "Oh, now my research project is some kind of fitness drink, not magic potion."
- Ahhh Dali sprayed another mouthful of old blood on the screen: "Teacher, didn't you say that you can study the magic potion?" Why are you researching drinks again? ”
Jessica glared, "Do you want money for research?" I'll research the drink first and find a way to make a research grant! ”
Dali's sky suddenly darkened, and he finally understood what Osama meant when he said that he was not optimistic about her, and if this continued, God knows when she would be able to study the magic energy potion? What is the difference between a self-signed contract and a lifetime deed of sale? Was that magic potion in her previous life really researched by her?
