Chapter Twenty-Three: Rebirth
"Do you have a way?"
There was a suspicious look in Jack's eyes, no wonder, Ark was just a grocery store guy like him a few months ago, what power could he have to change Jack's fate?
"Yes, I have a solution! Don't forget, I'm an apprentice in the Apothecary's Workshop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Ark's words made Jack's eyes light up, indeed, Ark is no longer what it used to be, the former grocery store guy has now become the envy of everyone's pharmacy apprentice.
It's just that when he thought of his situation, Jack was a little discouraged, he shook his head and said, "Ark, I'm not as smart as you, I can't make potions, this apprentice can't do it." ā
"Didn't you make an apprentice, didn't you work as a clerk in Old York's shop? ā
Yak hadn't really figured it out yet, but now that he saw Jack, some whimsical ideas popped up in his head.
"I ...... Our grocery store?"
Jack was a little surprised, and even hard to believe, that he had fantasized that one day he would be able to open his own grocery store, like old York, and make a good life for his mother and sister.
But after all, it was just a distant dream, and now, Yak is actually going to help him realize his dream, how can Jack not be excited?
Seeing Jack's excited appearance, the thoughts in Ark's mind became clearer, he nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, it's our own grocery store!" Jack, you may not know, I have been able to make potions, as long as there are enough materials, then I can continue to make all kinds of potions. As long as the potion is formulated, are we still worried that our grocery store will not make money?"
Potions are naturally profitable, and they are very profitable, and Jack was born in a grocery store, so he naturally knows very well how high the "profit" of the pharmacy workshop is.
"Ark, this ...... Can this really work?"
Jack still couldn't believe it.
Ark took a deep look at Jack, and finally patted Jack on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Jack, fate is in our own hands. I'll give you three days, and if you're ready, come to my house and come to me, and we'll talk in detail when the time comes. ā
With that, Ark turned around and left. He didn't give Jack advice on how to deal with the family's affairs, nor did he force Jack to make any decisions, he just gave Jack a chance, a chance to reach for it.
As Ark said, fate is in his own hands, and it is up to Jack to make what kind of decision he makes.
Looking at Ark's departure, Jack felt as if it was a dream.
"Destiny is in your own hands......"
Suddenly, Jack turned around sharply, and his gaze became faintly determined.
......
For three days, Ark's life did not change much, he went to the laboratory of the potion workshop every day to prepare the black bat potion, because the black bat potion Ack was not very proficient, so he did not let the Cologne teacher teach the new potion, but to thoroughly eat the black bat potion.
In three days, Yak got three black bat potions, and continued to soak them every day, and his physical fitness has been greatly improved, especially his physique, which has improved a lot.
"Whoa".
Ark got up from the barrel, and he soaked it all night, and the barrel smelled pungent, but Ark was used to it.
Host: Yak Andrino (14 years old)
Constitution: 1.60
Power: 1.12
Speed: 0.70
Basic Swordsmanship: 410/800 (Mastery)
Circle Cross Sword: 120/400 (Proficient)
In three days, Yak's physical fitness improved almost in all directions, with his physique improving the most, and his strength also increased slightly. However, the speed has not changed at all. Ark hadn't really figured out what the speed was all about.
So, Ark stood up and moved his hands and feet, this speed should not simply refer to the speed of movement, but should refer to sensitivity, Ark felt that his body seemed to be heavier, it should be with the enhancement of his physique, his body will gradually feel heavy. If you can increase your speed, you may be able to increase your body's agility.
Of course, this is all Ark's speculation, and the exact effect of this speed will have to wait until he finds a way to increase it.
However, the most important thing is that the physique and strength have exceeded the "1", which means that two key statistics of Yak have surpassed that of adults. You know, Ark is only fourteen years old now, and his body was even very weak before. There is no doubt that such an achievement can be achieved today due to the effect of medicine.
Drugs can fully develop the potential of the human body, and the potential of the human body can be used to completely release the effect of the drug, which is actually similar to years of exercise, but it is more efficient and can shorten a lot of time.
Ark put on his clothes and glanced at the wooden barrel behind him, which had completely turned dark green, and after three days of soaking, Ark felt that the black bat potion no longer worked on him.
If you soak too much elixir, you will naturally develop some resistance, which will require new elixirs to continue to strengthen your physique. Perhaps that's why Mr. Cologne and Brother Lorraine would stay in the lab and experiment with new potions.
"The black bat potion is no longer working, and I have to ask the teacher for a new potion recipe. ā
Ark opened the window and looked out, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as he saw a familiar voice standing in the corner outside the window.
"Are you still here?"
A smile appeared on Ark's lips, and then he went straight downstairs, pushed open the door and walked out.
In a secluded corner outside the house, Jack's body was shivering, it was morning, and the cold was still very cold.
"Jack, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Ark shouted from afar.
The figure outside the house was Jack. Three days have passed, and although Jack's face is still a little tired, there is a different look in his eyes, which is full of longing.
"Ark, I've figured it out, you're right, our fate should be in our own hands! I took my mother and sister out and live outside the house now, and I want to say goodbye to my old life and to that drunkard!"
When he said these words, Jack's expression was very rich, and he was no longer the person who was dying three days ago, as if he had lost hope in life. Now that Jack has regained his life, he is full of fighting spirit, and his eyes are full of eager anticipation for life, such Jack is the friend that Ark is willing to help.
