Chapter Thirty-Six: The Crumbs Daddy Who Bullied His Apprentices
Daddy's pharmacy, in the corner of the shop.
Su Xia's personal operating table is full of various instruments and materials.
Wearing gloves, he carefully took out a little blood ore powder with the key, followed the principle of "one oblique, two sends, and three upright", carefully fed it into the bottom of the test tube, and then made the test tube upright.
Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu both stopped what they were doing and carefully observed the operation of Su Xia, a newcomer.
A recipe takes a long time to go from learning to familiarizing.
Even if it is only a basic formula, a normal apprentice cannot master it in a short period of time.
But Su Xia's operation seemed to be particularly skillful, the ratio of various materials was no more and no less, and every step was very safe, which made the two of them doubt in their hearts.
This newcomer named Su Xia can't be an undercover agent sent by another pharmacy, right?
In fact, there's a "one-click compositing" button on the player panel.
When this button is pressed, the player will enter a cutscene where they will see their character skillfully mix and match potions based on various materials, with a higher success rate than ordinary NPCs.
In addition to this one-click synthesis, players can also choose to "do it themselves" and actively control the character with potions, and the success rate is also very high.
Su Xia chose to do it himself, when he started to act, his limbs were extremely coordinated, there was no nervous hand tremor, etc., the whole operation process was smooth, and he made the first medicine in his life - the primary poison very smoothly!
As a top student, he doesn't feel that difficult, it's similar to a chemistry experiment.
Affected by the "Grim Reaper's Tenderness" talent, this poison is 11% more toxic than normal.
"It did it the first time?" Lan Bafu next to him was dumbfounded, "Brother, are you really not an undercover agent sent from next door?" ”
"No, maybe it's luck."
Su Xia smiled and shook the small potion bottle in his hand, the liquid inside was a cloudy dark red.
When facing the enemy, you can directly smash this small bottle out, causing the negative effect of poisoning to the enemy, reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness, and making the enemy continue to lose blood.
"Huh?"
Daddy got up from behind the counter and let out a soft sigh.
He put down the coffee in his hand, walked up to Su Xia, lifted his glasses and said, "Let me see." ”
"Teacher, look."
Su Xia handed over the vial.
Daddy took the bottle, sat casually on the glass cabinet next to it, and put the bottle in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Then, he actually opened the bottle, put the bottle of poison on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
Lan Bafu complained in a low voice: "Teacher, your operation is wrong, can't you put your nose to the mouth of the container?" It should be gently fanned over the mouth of the bottle with your hands, and ...... It's still a bottle of poison......"
Dad raised his eyebrows and asked solemnly, "Are you a teacher or am I a teacher?" Do you want to fight Daddy? ”
Lan Bafu shrank his body, lowered his head and whispered, "You are the teacher, you have the final say." ”
"Humph!"
Daddy snorted twice, reached out and slapped Lan Bafu's head.
He returned the potion bottle to Su Xia and said lightly: "It's barely okay, but that's it, it's not as good as the first dose of poison that Daddy refined, don't be complacent, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the blow of failure in the future." ”
"I remember, teacher, don't worry."
"Just remember, and never doubt Daddy's words."
Daddy's expression was indifferent, and he turned around and walked towards the counter.
The old man didn't seem to care about Su Xia's learning progress, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly from an angle that several apprentices couldn't see.
In the corner, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu began to discuss their experience with Su Xia.
The pharmacist level of these two people is not weak, they can make third-order potions, and they are enough to be shouted "master" when they are placed outside.
But maybe it's because they can't bear Daddy's pharmacy, or maybe it's because they owe Daddy too much money, so neither of them can stand on their own, but continue to work as apprentices with Daddy.
As for Daddy's alchemy level, neither of them was clear.
"Daddy was able to refine a fourth-order potion when he was very young." Hong Bafu's face showed admiration, he was a round fat man, and he occupied half of the corner space alone.
"At our age, Daddy has long been a guest of honor in various forces, and now he lives in seclusion here, and even those robots are very polite to him."
Compared with Daddy's legendary life, both of them are a little frustrated.
After listening to the words of the two, Su Xia's mind moved slightly, and he was sure that he had come to the right place.
This old man may be the strongest pharmacist in the entire Coral City, or even in the dozen or so cities around here.
But his apprenticeship process was inevitably too hasty, and he didn't even ask where he came from, what if he was really sent undercover?
"Do the strong do it so spontaneously?"
At this moment, Su Xia suddenly received a prompt from the bracelet.
[Detect that your body hunger level on Earth is high, do you return immediately?] 】
Seeing this news, Su Xia was shocked, and then he remembered that he hadn't even eaten lunch today!
It's only been a day, and he's actually become the kind of person who plays games until he forgets to eat.
Fallen!
He immediately excused himself to learn another recipe, ended the chat with the two, and hurried back to the real world.
Su Xia turned over and got out of bed and took out a box of Cantonese biscuits from his cabinet.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was normal.
It's been two hours since the server started, and several roommates are still fighting in the mine.
Except for Li Defu, the other four guys did not adjust the color of the blood, so their computer screens were all bloody to the point that they had to mosaic.
Li Defu turned his blood white, so the screen was full of white viscous liquid, which looked even more mosaic.
"How are you doing?" Su Xia asked as she ate the biscuit and stood behind Li Defu.
"It's difficult, it's estimated that you have to kill until two or three o'clock in the morning to move up to the next level." Li Defu's eyes were slightly red, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished, and his spirit was still high.
"Brother Su, have you read the forum?" He asked as he killed the monster.
"See what?"
"Just now, a character from a promotional video appeared, and it was the commander."
"Oh, I saw ...... too"
Su Xia had expected it, so it was not surprising, this was what he wanted.
Yuwen Shuxue, the head of the room next to him, sighed: "Alas, the novice map of the Oasis camp can only be reached by random arrival, and those guys are really lucky." ”
"I heard that there is already a guy who has been recognized by that NPC, and just now he swallowed a lot of loot by himself, what a hell envy!"
Game opportunities are hard to come by, and several roommates in the dormitory can only sigh with envy and jealousy.
Li Defu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Brother Su, why haven't you come here yet, have you encountered trouble on the road?" ”
"Nope." Su Xia shook her head calmly, "I joined the pharmacy, so I won't be here for the time being." ”
"Oh, you join...... What? Pharmacy? ”
