As always, I got up, washed, went out, and finally arrived at the laboratory after grinding on the road.

"Lonnie, have you made all the potions you prepared yesterday!" After entering the door, he didn't ask about the assistant being late, but directly asked about the progress of the work assigned to him yesterday.

"Yes, Mr. Maynes, it's all done, and I'll take you to the workshop. Although he had made up his mind that he didn't want to stay here any longer, he unconsciously became nervous and cautious whenever Mains gave orders.

After he set up the test bench for Earns, Mains gave him a list of potions that needed to be prepared for the day, and the daily routine of the new day began again.

Because of the different mood, Lonnie seemed to be completely unable to calm down and do his job today, as if waiting for something to come.

"Lonnie, come on!" as the voice of Maines came from beside him, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ran over to listen to the errand.

Or the same flat tone as always: "The color of this bottle of potion is a little blue, which means that the balance value is deviated, and you are using the liquid extracted by distillation?"

"Yes. ”

"Don't do that next time, the lack of alkaline impurities will make the acidity deviate from the normal value!"

"Good!"

"The quality of Shixing's potion is not good, I will change it next time!"

"Yes!"

"The preparation method I wrote for you of this base solution is the elven formula, you are completely wrong! I have already said last time that you should strengthen the learning of elven language, you can't do it again, otherwise you may not be able to understand many ancient formulas!"

......

After a series of corrections, even if Lonnie was used to it, he still felt a little fever on his face, because he didn't know how to do these problems and couldn't grasp them at all, but he just couldn't control them and couldn't make mistakes.

I thought about forcibly jumping out of my guilt, what is this? Isn't this exactly how I prove that I am not the material for an alchemist!

"You made a surprisingly many mistakes yesterday, could it be that something happened?"

Listening to Maines's words, Lonnie's heart suddenly surged with very strong emotions, looking at his boss's indifferent face, he suddenly felt that his anger rose.

Why, don't you even give me a pretending expression! Since you don't care at all, why do you want to ask pretendly, or do you actually want to insult me severely, but you don't want to be very mean, so you have to eliminate my excuse first, right?

In that case, I've made up my mind that I don't want to waste any more time anyway, so it's as you wish!

So Lonnie also put on a faint tone:

"It's nothing special, it's just that my talent is not enough, these mistakes are common at my level, don't you know very well, right?"

Maines frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a while, and said:

"No one says that your level and talent are not enough, and even so, as long as you study hard, there will be obvious improvement, no one is born knowing everything, as long as there is enough accumulation ......"

"But the time is different after all!" Lonnie almost shouted, and naturally forcibly interrupted Maines's words.

"People with good talent learn everything quickly, and they rarely make mistakes! And what is the use of my hard work, I will never be able to catch up with the real genius, it will take me a lifetime to catch up with the achievements of others in a few years, does it make sense!"

Looking at Lonnie, whose chest was rising and falling violently after shouting, Maines still didn't have a violent reaction, and still said lightly: "So...... Are you going to give up?"

"Yes, I'm going to give up, give up a dream that doesn't belong to me, give up and continue to waste my time, isn't that good?

Looking directly into the eyes of Mains, Lonnie didn't wait for the expected madness!

Maines just turned around indifferently, returned to his workbench and continued his research.

Of course, his emotions were not completely unchanging, because in the moment before turning around, Lonnie clearly saw the disappointment in his eyes.

With a sudden pain in his heart, Lonnie felt his mind empty, but why?

Didn't you get your wish? I finally saw the boss bluntly show that he was disappointed in himself, and now I guess I won't say anything if I leave him directly, so it's much more comfortable than being scolded by him on the spot, isn't it!

Why don't your legs move, why do your hearts sting like pins and needles?

It wasn't until his eyes saw his own workbench, on which he needed to finish the work of the day, lying quietly with a pile of raw materials, and unconsciously stepped closer, looking at the familiar countertop, that Lonnie realized that he had become accustomed to this!

Accustomed to working day after day according to the to-do list given to him by Maines, accustomed to working carefully and conscientiously to one day hand in a perfect work, and of course, accustomed to being frequently corrected and pointed out by Maines every day, and the thought that he would never see them again in the future made his heart extremely lost.

In retrospect, Mains never treated him harshly, both the food and the utensils and materials used were very fine, he never went to work on time every day, Mains never punished himself, and even the expression on his face was the same every time he pointed out his mistakes...... Be patient and peaceful, if it were in school, I'm afraid I would have been scolded countless times by the teacher in charge of teaching!

And he just said such an excessive thing to such an elder!

He regretted it, but what was the use! Now he couldn't ask for forgiveness at all, and even if he could, he wouldn't have the face to speak!

Forget it! Subconsciously pick up the alchemy tools in front of you, at least complete today's work, and leave the last memory for your internship and alchemist career!

With the operation, the desire to make a perfect finished product has never been stronger, and two lines of tears unconsciously flowed down his face, until his eyes were blurred and he had to stop the operation in his hand.

I can only go here, it turns out that I am so useless, I can't even fulfill this last little wish!

Perhaps because of his emotion, when he put the reagent bottle in his hand back on the shelf, his arm trembled subconsciously, and he immediately knocked over a bottle of reagent placed next to him, and poured all the liquid medicine into the liquid medicine pool that was being proportioned below.

After a moment of blending, a large number of bubbles and a pungent smell began to rise on the solution.

Slightly reacting to what kind of potion had just been poured in, Lonnie's heart was suddenly shocked: the sea snake gland plus the fire energy potion and the boiling synergistic reaction, skipping the complicated principle, the result is simply equivalent to a fire poison lizard's breath attack.

And before he could figure out how to deal with it, the solution pool had been blown up by the fierce reaction, and the splash of toxic liquid flew straight towards the stunned Lonnie!

And he didn't have time to do anything at this point!
