Lloyd has been very distressed lately, and even the reagent bottles and materials that he usually plays with very well in his hands seem a little heavy. You must know that the equipment purchased with the money he earns from part-time work outside has always been used handily, and I don't know why this situation has occurred.

He is now eighteen years old, he is already a certified junior alchemist, and he is now studying in the intermediate class of the alchemy department of the Demon Martial Academy, although it is good to achieve such results at his age, but this is the maximum evaluation, because he himself knows very well that if there is no special opportunity, his lifelong achievements are likely to be capped here.

There are too many conditions to become a high-level alchemist, talent, money, and excellent mentors are indispensable, and his own talent is just a middle-to-lower concept, otherwise he wouldn't have to spend four or five years in the academy to pass the primary certification, compared to those real geniuses, those 'monsters' who were mixed in the middle and advanced classes at a younger age than him, really can't even mention the feeling of jealousy, as if the two sides of the palace wall represent two worlds, but it is not a field that you can touch if you think about it.

As for money, it is even more important, people only know that magicians need a lot of potions and equipment to strengthen their strength in the process of cultivation, so everyone has the impression that the rich and noble are exclusive to the profession, but they don't know that compared with the cultivation expenses of alchemists, it is a small amount of money.

The daily cultivation of the mage is nothing more than the magic and spiritual power accumulated by himself, although it can also be supplemented and strengthened by potions and magic equipment, but at least it can be said to be non-consumable in nature, but the alchemist must rely on practice and failure again and again to master new skills and formulas, and the materials and appliances spent in this need real money to buy, although the Demon Martial Arts Academy, as the highest institution of the empire, is naturally not a charity, and those who can afford to go to school here must also be students from well-to-do families, but no matter which time and space the pursuit of wealth is an endless road, and the level between wealth and wealth is definitely different。

For example, there is a world of difference between shouting 'my necklace for 2,000 yuan' during a fight and saying with a cheeky face, 'Set a small goal to achieve and earn him 100 million first', although it is very disgusting to ordinary people.

Lloyd understood that his family was not a wealthy family, so every year when his father, who was an ordinary businessman, handed over his tuition fees to him, he never asked his family for any extra gold coins, because he knew that the investment would be an almost bottomless abyss, enough to shatter a family of his kind of financial conditions.

So while entering the school to study, he is also looking for his own way to make money and make a living outside the school, fortunately, the identity of the alchemist makes this goal not too difficult to achieve, some alchemy potions and magic equipment stores are very welcome to alchemists who want to make some extra money in addition to cultivation, and the alchemist guild also has related business for alchemists inside and outside the guild, in general, as long as you are willing, you can rely on these small means to support yourself, but ......

It's just to be able to support yourself, but anyone who aspires to make a name for himself on the road of alchemist will not just focus on the level of food and clothing, and wanting to make money while subsidizing their own cultivation consumption is tantamount to a fool's dream, because the input consumption and output are not proportional at all, and some people may think that it is not easy for such a scarce profession as an alchemist to make a lot of money by relying on the skills mastered in hand!

But don't forget that it is indeed easy for alchemists to make a lot of money, but that is for high-level alchemists, alchemists below the advanced level are generally difficult to sell at a higher price in the world due to the efficiency and quality of their alchemy products, and then remove the cost of buying raw materials. In terms of material funding and coercion, they don't have to worry about having no financial resources at all, or most of these proud people are originally behind the powerful and famous.

Therefore, low-level alchemists like Lloyd, who are not high or low, and have no financial support, actually rely on working for merchants and guilds to make a living and barely survive, so it can be said that these seemingly glamorous professions in this other world are actually just high-level 'blue-collar'.

Lloyd doesn't care about being a blue-collar worker, he can suffer or suffer, but what he can't accept is the fact that he has not made any progress in the past few years, which not only hits his self-confidence but also incurs a lot of cold eyes and ridicule.

He understands that he has no extraordinary talent, nor does he have wealth and background that can be squandered at will, and without these two conditions, it seems that another path to success is automatically blocked, that is, the guidance of famous teachers!

An alchemist who has become famous or has rich experience can be said to give away valuable wealth to the teachings of his disciples, such as not having a very high talent to advance to a high level to help the teacher become famous or offering practical benefits in exchange for teaching, let alone what value you have to attract a good teacher, not to mention being guarded by the master like George, a famous student among the students, it is a great honor to be able to get the teacher's attention and solve doubts from time to time, and he Lloyd has never had this luck!

But recently he was very impulsive, a new teacher came to the college, and after the first day of meeting, he used a unique open class for the whole department to let everyone see his unusual teaching style, and if the influence of his youth and personal background among the students was not shocking enough, then the experience of teaching in classes of all levels for a period of time can be said to completely shock all the students.

The people who can make a name for themselves in the alchemy department are all arrogant people, plus some outstanding talent seedlings who are favored on weekdays are very unhappy with Xiao Yi who crushed the audience in the first class, these academic tyrants seem to have made an appointment in the classroom, and take turns to challenge the young new teacher with tricky and strange difficult questions, but the result is ......

It may not be accurate to describe it as devastating, because the gap between the two sides has been undoubtedly revealed through this confrontation, but what is unexpected is that all the big and small students who participated in the 'encirclement and suppression' did not feel discouraged, and secondly, they did not continue to want to go up again with resentment, but they all became the 'fans' of the new teacher one by one, no matter how big or small, and they were highly respectful of it.

Let the other students who were originally watching the excitement on the side call spineless, and these college and school tyrants don't have time to pay attention to other people's feelings, Gain is replaced by anyone who can get a concise answer to solve the problem for you immediately after throwing away the academic problems that have plagued you for a long time, and it is impossible to be indifferent when you can also provide new ideas and new solutions that have not been seen before, and give up the opportunity to guide and appreciate the famous teacher in order to fight for a while, that's not stupid, it's a bastard!

So in less than a month, Xiao Yi already had a high reputation among the students by relying on his knowledge, followed by countless scenes of admiration and wanting to apprentice, but it was expected that Xiao Yi declined all the students who expressed their request to apprentice, but he did not use cold eyes and harsh reprimands to highlight the inadequacy of these students like other famous high-level alchemists, and then did not show any discrimination to all students in the classroom.

Although no one was unhappy or embarrassed on the spot because of this kind of thing, no one really thought that this was the true idea of the new teacher who didn't want to accept apprentices, but no one had been able to enter Xiao Yi's eyes yet.

Thinking of this, Lloyd's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Hey, what are you thinking, you poor sour!" The pain pulled him away from his thoughts as he was hit on the head by a piece of ore that made the potion solution, and he didn't have to turn his head to expect that the person who started it must be the nasty face.
