Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Path 036 First Apprentice Quest

Later in the day, Charlie obtained the identity credentials of the official cadet of the Arcane Ring, which is a metal badge with the function of identification, which is the only identification of the cadet in the school.

Despite this, Charlie is not happy, and it is reasonable that for the master and apprentice who have just established a relationship, they are in the honeymoon period, and the teacher-student relationship should be very harmonious.

However, this is not the case, and from the first day of contact, Charlie has a thorn in his heart - there is something wrong with this mentor!

Anthony's behavior gave the impression that he didn't want to train some apprentices, but rather a few handymen who could help him with the work, and he didn't know if Erin and Jerry realized this, at least he did.

Soon, this feeling was confirmed, and Charlie received his first apprenticeship: to dispose of the feces of corrupt bats, and Erin was in charge of instructing, she had done it once, and had some experience.

There were a lot of portions, three bags in total, 17 kilograms, piled on a dark table, emitting a disgusting sour smell, this kind of bat omnivorous scavenging, feces contained all kinds of things, and the smell was very complicated.

For ordinary people, it may be okay, there is no difference between one smell and dozens of odors, but for Charlie, it is an indescribable torture, and this kind of odor containing many layers destroys Charlie's sense of smell all the time.

"Whew!" Charlie's stomach churned violently, and he bent over suddenly, spitting up dirty stuff.

Charlie's endurance is quite amazing, his sense of smell is a hundred times sharper than ordinary people, the impact of the same thing on Charlie is particularly amazing, in Master Ron's botanical garden has tested his patience, the bloody konjac has not been able to defeat him, but in front of this kind of little thing defeated.

Erin hurriedly said, "Charlie, are you okay?"

Jerry held back a smile and said solemnly, "Hey, don't mess around! Be professional! This is an apprentice laboratory, you are so dirty, it makes me very uncomfortable! Can't stand such a stinky smell?!"

Charlie wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth, spat out a cloudy breath, ignored Jerry, and said to Erin, "It's okay, there won't be a next time." ”

Once in an embarrassing experience, the chip made some adjustments to get the body to adjust to the smell.

Seeing that he was neglected, Jerry frowned, very unhappy, photographed Charlie was older, and did not react on the spot.

Erin whispered: "For me, these amounts are about two days of work, and the teacher should not ask you to dispose of this feces in two days, after all, you are a novice." If I step up the task in my hand, it will take about a day and a half, and I will help you then. ”

Charlie nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, please help me demonstrate the operation steps." ”

Erin's face was slightly red, she nodded slightly, maybe not used to being focused, a little sweat broke out from the tip of her nose, but her hands and feet were not affected, Erin quickly scooped up a small pinch of bat droppings, poured it into a beaker, and began to slowly explain the whole extraction process......

The droppings of corrupted bats near Greyridge Mountain contain the dregs of a type of green magic crystal, which is very valuable and widely used in forging, enchantment, jewelry, and inscription scrolls, and is marketable for both personal use and sale, with the purpose of extracting these crystals from the vast amount of bat dung.

The method used by Erin was the usual method of Haynes, and the process was based on the experience of one of the apprentices of the Arcane Ring, and was basically recognized as the simplest and least expensive method, and was used for many years.

Charlie did the same, he shook the cup, and under a clear layer of liquid, several extremely trivial irregular fine green particles rippled in the water.

"Is that so?" asked Charlie.

Erin praised: "Charlie, your memory is really good, you get started quickly, and the operation is also very delicate and standardized, the teacher will like it very much." ”

Jerry said coldly: "It's just dealing with the feces of corrupted bats, there is no technical content, what is there to be happy about?"

Erin stuck out her tongue.

Charlie didn't respond, and he went about it all over again, thinking about it in his head.

"Analyze the extraction method and find the best solution. Charlie gave the chip an analysis command, and the chip immediately began to operate, and the lines of analysis process were projected in his mind:

Scan lab tools

Ask the host to enter stool composition data

Data collection is complete

The extraction steps are fully loaded and the analysis begins......

While the brain is running rapidly, Charlie's hands and feet have not stopped, under the control of the chip, every movement is like a designed program, precise and efficient, without the slightest superfluous action, and he is no longer sensitive to smells as he said.

Jerry watched Charlie's movements, and couldn't help but stop, a look of horror appeared on his face, even a layman could see how terrible it was for someone to be so accurate repeatedly.

Time flew by, and more and more green crystal particles were precipitated in the beaker, and finally, Charlie stopped, almost finishing half a day's work.

At the same time, the chip has also analyzed several feasible optimization schemes, and if the new scheme can be implemented, the workload will be reduced by 60%, the time will be shortened accordingly, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.

53%, the chip quickly gives the calculation result.

"I'll go out for a while. Charlie suddenly stood up and said casually.

"Huh?" Erin was struck by Charlie's audacity.

"Where?" Jerry couldn't help but ask.

"It occurred to me that I could improve the extraction process, maybe I had to purchase something, so I went outside. ”

A look of jealousy flashed across Jerry's face, if Charlie hadn't lied, he would have been favored by the teacher, because a practical optimization plan would not only improve his work efficiency, but also report to the academy in exchange for points, which are especially important for junior apprentices.

To make a simple comparison, Jerry worked hard under Anthony for more than a week to earn no more than three points, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel irritated.

"You dare?! The teacher didn't say that we were allowed to go out, so you'd better give me a little bit of peace! Don't keep thinking about doing something and deliberately attract the teacher's attention!" Jerry looked serious and awe-inspiring.

Maybe Jerry can scare Erin, but he can't scare Charlie, a man with the "soul of a middle-aged man", in his eyes, how much this warning is so violent.

Charlie smiled: "The teacher has not given you the right to supervise, talk less, work more, and do your duty." ”

"Do you know the way back? If you get lost, you're afraid of delaying the teacher's task. ”

"It's okay, I know the way. Regardless of the mentality and thoughts of the other two apprentices, Charlie pushed the door and left.

In fact, procurement is just an excuse, the optimization scheme of chip analysis is based on laboratory equipment, there is no need for additional procurement, Charlie's real purpose is to take a look at the points market, try to convert the points he currently has, into real combat effectiveness, is the top priority.

Charlie followed the map of the dungeon in his mind to the central area, which he remembered as the most lively, if not a points exchange market.

As expected, Charlie found the logo of the points exchange market, there were not many people during this time period, there was no need to queue, Charlie walked straight to the business window of the points market.

"Please show your badge. Behind the glass window was an equally young face, and Charlie guessed that he was also an apprentice at the academy, and he didn't know what it took to become the operator of the points system.

Charlie handed over his apprentice badge.

"What business are you going to handle?" Seeing the color of this badge, the operator couldn't help but show a faint look of disdain.

Charlie handed over the black points card.

Seeing the number 300, the operator's face changed suddenly, and then he showed a regretful expression, and looked at Charlie with a complicated gaze, "Very background! It's just that it's a waste to redeem points in this way!"

"How?" asked Charlie.

"For a long time, the academy has adopted a curbing attitude towards points transactions between students, and the high points transaction tax is one of the most obvious means of control, to exchange such a 300 denomination points exchange card, the exchanger is afraid to pay the price of 600 points, of which 300 points were swallowed in vain, what is this not a waste?!" The operator's expression was extremely distressed, and he looked at Charlie's eyes with a feeling of seeing a loser: "If you see the points exchange list, you can understand my current mood." ”

Charlie asked casually, "Is there no other way than this plan?"

"Of course there is! There is another way for apprentices to obtain points, that is, through the donation of rare resources, to obtain points, the academy's pricing of rare resources is quite reasonable, and the points are also given more generously, using this method to avoid transaction tax, of course, the procedures are a little more troublesome, and the time period is longer. ”

Moreover, Charlie also felt that the operator wanted to stop talking, and guessed in his heart, I am afraid that in addition to this method, there are some other channels to achieve similar purposes, but the two have no friendship, so he naturally will not disclose so much information.

Hearing the operator's explanation, Charlie vaguely spied into Qianji's heart, putting aside his arrogant and straightforward attitude that day, everything he did was beneficial to himself, but he couldn't be resentful because of his rudeness, maybe his attitude was just a show.

After a pause, Charlie said, "Please help me cash out this card, I want to spend it now." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Soon, the operator channeled the amount of the scorecard into Charlie's apprentice badge through alchemy equipment and magic tricks.

After doing all this, the operator handed over the apprentice badge and a homemade business card: "Junior brother, I am a second-year student Baroff, one of the temporary salesmen of the points system, and I am currently a second-level star mage.

If you have points exchange, or points trading needs, you can find me at any time, of course, if you have any questions about the college or courses, you can also find me, the first message is free, and the rest depends on the situation, including your satisfaction. ”

Hearing his smooth advertising slogan, Charlie noticed several ways to earn points.

"Okay, please take me to see the points exchange list. ”
