Early the next morning, Ark got up early, first had breakfast, and then practiced the basic swordsmanship a few times before packing up and going out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The streets were still a little deserted in the early morning, Ark took a deep breath of fresh air, today is a very critical day, whether he can become an apprentice in the potion workshop depends on today.

"Hi Jack. ”

When he arrived at the grocery store, Ark had just arrived.

"Hey, Ark, are you here so early today?"

Jay knows Ark very well, and usually Ark doesn't come so early, and sometimes he even arrives late.

Ark came to the grocery store and walked around, and then said mysteriously: "Jack, I have a very important business to do today, and if old York asks, he will say that I am going to deliver it." ”

Jack was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Ark, what is important to you?"

Since he wanted Jack to help, Ark didn't intend to hide it, so he whispered: "Isn't the apothecary workshop going to recruit apprentices? I'm going to try it this time, and if I become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop, wouldn't it be much more promising than being a fellow here in this old York?"

"You're going to an apprenticeship in a potion workshop?"

Jack looked at Ark carefully from top to bottom, and finally said thoughtfully: "That's right, being a buddy here in Old York can't last long, then Victor is not much better than you at the beginning, since he can be an apprentice, then you will definitely succeed!"

Jack sends a sincere blessing to Ark.

"Jack, I'm going to make it!"

Ark said goodbye to Jack, and while Old York had not yet arrived, he quickly left the grocery store and hurried to the potion workshop. Looking at Yakluo's thin figure, for a while, Jack's heart was also touched.

"Maybe I should do something about it. ”

Jack muttered under his breath, many thoughts flashing through his mind.

......

Outside the pharmacy workshop, there were already a lot of people, and many teenagers between the ages of ten and eighteen were standing in front of the pharmacy workshop at this time.

They all arrived in a hurry early in the morning after learning that the apothecary workshop was going to accept apprentices. Most of them are the children of commoners, in whom the hopes of the whole family are pinned.

When Ark arrived, he didn't even have a place to stand, so he had to stay outside.

It didn't take long for the door of the potion workshop to open, and countless people wanted to rush in, and the first young man to come out of the potion workshop was Lorraine, who had posted the notice that day.

Lorraine glanced at everyone outside the door, and then said in a loud voice: "Anyone who disrupts the order will be disqualified immediately." ”

With such strict words, everyone stopped and began to slowly line up to enter the potion workshop, of course, only the teenagers who participated in the assessment could enter.

The requirements for apprenticeships in the pharmacy workshop are simple, male and female, but the age limit is between 10 and 18 years old. In fact, the monthly income of the apprentices in the apothecary workshop is not too high, only two or three silver coins a month, and the salary of Picak in the old York shop is naturally very different, but for some families, there is no need to be so rushed.

However, what really appeals to everyone is that once you become an apprentice in a potion workshop, you have the opportunity to learn how to make potions, and if you become a pharmacist, you can become the most respected person in the whole city, and you can squeeze into high society!

Therefore, as soon as the apothecary workshop released the news that it was going to accept apprentices, it immediately caused such a big reaction.

The guards in the potion workshop and some apprentices were trying to maintain order, and when Ark entered the potion workshop, Victor in the group of apprentices was taken aback, and then muttered viciously: "This kid is really here, hum, if you want to dream of becoming an apprentice, it's impossible!"

Probably Victor was the last person who wanted Ark to become an apprentice in the Apothecary.

Ark also saw Victor in the crowd, and that vicious gaze made it difficult for Ark not to notice. But he didn't care at all, recruiting apprentices was such a big thing, even the old man Cologne would show up, and Victor was just an apprentice, even if he didn't want to, he didn't have the ability to get in the way.

As long as Ark performs well, he will be able to stand out and become an apprentice in the Apothecary's Workshop!

Many teenagers came to the courtyard of the potion workshop, and the whole courtyard was packed. Lorraine stood on the high platform, glanced at the many teenagers below, and then said in a loud voice: "Only ten apprentices will be recruited this time, so only the best ten will be able to stay in the potion workshop." ”

There are about 300 teenagers who signed up this time, and it is indeed a lot of competition pressure for more than 300 people to compete for ten places, even if the pharmacy workshop recruited apprentices last time, it seems that there are not so many people.

I don't know if it's Ark's delusion, he always felt that Lorraine's gaze seemed to linger on him a little longer, but then Lorraine continued: "First of all, the first test, if you want to become an apprentice in the potion workshop, then what should be the first thing? ”

With a wave of his hand, Lorraine stepped out from behind him five apprentices, all of whom had a tray in their hands with some ordinary materials on it.

"There are the same materials in these five trays, there are a total of nine materials, the number is not much, the general ordinary potion is more than five kinds of materials mixed together, and the potion can be prepared after a special ratio. Therefore, you must know these materials and judge which materials are contained in some potions based on their appearance, color, and smell. Well, everyone has a certain amount of time to look at the material carefully. ”

After Lorraine finished speaking, the five apprentices behind him immediately took the tray and stayed in front of each teenager for a while. It took a while, more than 300 teenagers, and it took about three hours to finally read the material.

Ark was quick to memorize the materials, but he was confident that he had a brain that could store the basic characteristics of the materials and call them up at any time after scanning them.

"Alright, it's almost time. There are three potions here, all of which are mixed with various ingredients and ground into powder, and you must identify all the ingredients in the potion, and everyone can come forward and take a closer look. For three potions, the answer must be correct, which is the most basic test. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect it to be so difficult, and as soon as they came up, they asked them to identify the potion materials.

These three potions are all ground into powder, and there are only some differences in color, but when they are mixed together, it is very difficult to distinguish, and there may be five or six materials in them, and it will be difficult to distinguish them thoroughly.

A real pharmacist also needs to analyze the color, smell, etc., not to mention these teenagers.

However, when Ark saw these three materials, his heart silently mobilized his brain.

"Brain, analyze the materials contained in each potion. ”

"After the analysis, do you want to generate a list?"

"Build. ”

As a result, three lists appeared in front of Ark's eyes, corresponding to the materials contained in the three potions, which was simply easy for the brain to analyze, and it could be analyzed in an instant.

Ark was actually trying to analyze it himself, but when he analyzed it and felt that the answer was nine out of ten, and after comparing the answer of Zhi Brain, his face changed slightly, because among the answers he analyzed, there were two materials that were different from what Zhi Brain analyzed.

With the accuracy of the brain, there is no doubt that most of the analysis was wrong.

"This kind of assessment is really difficult, I don't know how many people will be stumped just by identifying the potion materials, and it seems that it is not a fluke that Victor was able to enter the potion workshop as an apprentice. ”

Ark glanced at Victor in the crowd, and when the other party saw Ark frowning, he thought that Ark couldn't analyze it at all, so he was still gloating.

"When the time comes, write down the answers on a slip of paper. ”

Lorraine had the three potions removed, and the rest of the time was time to write the answers. Ark glanced at the others, most of them with sad faces, apparently stumped by the assessment.

Ark did not hesitate to write down the answer to the analysis of the brain, and he naturally believed in the powerful analytical ability of the brain more than his own analysis.

One after another, some people wrote the answers, and those who did not write the answers left in despair, and finally there were only less than 200 people who really wrote the answers and had a certain degree of certainty.

However, I am afraid that most of the two hundred people will be eliminated, and those apprentices in the pharmacy workshop naturally know how difficult this first assessment is, in fact, this is the basic condition of a pharmacy apprentice, if you can't reach it, it is almost impossible to become a pharmacy apprentice.

Nearly two hundred answers, Lorraine personally read them one by one. In the end, he had already written down a dozen names in his notes.

"Very good, there are fifteen people who can accurately identify the ingredients contained in the three potions, which is much more than I expected, and you can all follow me into the potion workshop and be finally screened by the teacher Cologne. As for the rest, they were the ones who were eliminated and left the apothecary workshop immediately. ”

So, Lorraine began to read his name one by one, everyone was expecting it, even Ark was no exception, although he was full of confidence in the brain, but he didn't know what the real answer was, so he was also expecting Lorraine to read his name.

"David Rebasque. ”

"Cole Clark. ”

"Ronce Wilson. ”

Watching Lorraine read out one name after another, but never pronounced Ark's name, for a while, Ark's heart also seemed nervous.

Only Lorraine knew the specific list, and even the other apprentices didn't know, so everyone stared at Lorraine, and Victor's eyes were full of mockery, he didn't believe that a grocer guy in Ark could pass the assessment and become an apprentice in the potion workshop.

"Stupid fellow, just because you want to be an apprentice in the Apothecary Workshop?"

Victor was even thinking about sneering at Ark next.

"Yak Andrino. ”

Suddenly, the last name came out of Lorraine's mouth, and Victor was instantly petrified, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"That'...... How is that kid possible?"

No matter how unbelievable Victor was, when Ark heard Lorraine's name read out of his mouth, he couldn't help but clench his fist fiercely, and finally there was no accident, Zhi's analysis was indeed correct.
