When it was almost evening, the traffic of people in Angus' alchemy shop finally approached.

Ning Lang waited at the door for a long time, and saw that after more than ten minutes no one came, he walked inside.

"Stay rest, rest!"

The thin shop owner stood in front of Ning Lang with a smile, not allowing him to continue walking inside.

"No, I'm not here to buy things."

Ning Lang smiled and pointed to a notice hanging at the door of the store and said, "I'm here to apply for a job."

This notice was seen by Ning Lang when he came out of the bookstore. The content was that the alchemy shop urgently recruited apprentices and received preferential treatment. This happened to hit Ning Lang's gun, greatly increasing the possibility of completing his task.

But he did not come forward rashly, but stayed outside for a long time to see if there were other people coming in. But what made him feel a little strange was that he had not seen anyone here for a long time applying for a job, all of whom were people who came to buy and sell things.

Obviously, this kind of apprentice is not easy to find. Ning Lang seemed to have been posted for a long time when he saw the notice, but the shop owner was still there alone - perhaps there were apprentices doing alchemy work in other places, but the goods in the shop were clearly seen that the other party's cargo reserves were seriously insufficient.

From the occasional complaints from the endless crowd, he found that almost all pointed to the limited supply of alchemy shops. This is because there is insufficient production capacity, because various materials are constantly flowing into the shops. As long as there are enough personnel, they can always be turned into qualified products.

So when Ning Lang waited for a while and found that the store owner started to rush people to sell things, he understood that the things in the store should be sold almost the same. If the store owner was upset that there were too few goods, the requirements should be reduced slightly.

"Are you here to apply for a job?"

But to Ning Lang's surprise, the shop owner did not show a look of too happy when he heard his words, as if he was seriously doubting his ability: "Can you call me Angus, tell me, do you want to apply for a job?"

Hearing the other party’s two consecutive questions, Ning Lang hesitated and said, “Yes, I want to try it.”

“This is not something you can do just by trying.”

Boss Angus waved his hand and said, "Only people with the talent of a mage can become an alchemist apprentice. There is no way for ordinary people to do."

So that's it. Ning Lang suddenly understood why no one has applied for an alchemy apprentice until now. After all, only a few people who have the talent of a mage are sent back to the hinterland of the empire before the war comes, because these are the seeds of future power and will not let them suffer danger here.

Then naturally, it is difficult to find a suitable apprentice in this alchemy shop.

But Ning Lang is different. With the help of the Book of All Things, he is naturally considered a person with the talent of a mage. He will definitely show his strength to the other party.

[Magic trick], this is the lowest spell, which can almost only make some tricks, but it can clearly surface. Ning Lang is a person with the talent of a spellcaster.

Seeing the stones floating in the air around him, Boss Angus was obviously much more happy: "It's the simplest [magic trick], very good, a little interesting."

Boss Angus did not ask him any questions, and directly asked him to follow him into the store, starting with a discussion on the treatment of apprentices.

“What have you learned?”

Angus asked Ning Lang what kind of knowledge he was good at: "You will tell me what you are best at, so I can arrange for you to work appropriately."

But unfortunately, Ning Lang didn't know any of these things, so he looked at Ning Lang with a blank look in his eyes, and Angus's face suddenly looked bad: "Don't say you can't even have any!"

"Yeah, I won't even know one!"

Ning Lang nodded honestly, and then he saw Angus's face in front of him suddenly turned black like the bottom of the pot.

"Then how did you learn spells!"

Angus slapped the table next to him and roared loudly: "How did you learn magic? You don't know anything about it. Did your magic fall from the sky!"

It really fell from the sky, Ning Lang said in his heart, then said with a smile on his face: "I only know that spell, but I am talented after all, right? Isn't it the same to learn from scratch as an apprentice?"

"Same?"

Angus was so angry that he snorted: "But I just want to hire people now. If you don't know how to do it, what's the difference between not recruiting?"

"I learned things very quickly."

Ning Lang hesitated for a moment, then decisively took out his plastic lighter and said, "I will sell this thing to you at a cheap price, it's just you who taught me alchemy."

This is Ning Lang’s real purpose!

He inquired about this. Angus was a person with a certificate of intermediate alchemy in the Dorfman Empire, and was also considered an equal to Baron Vader in the small town of Vaderon.

Among the nearby towns, his alchemy is the best, and the things he makes are also the most popular.

On weekdays, Angus almost never accepted several apprentices, which led to the current situation of emergency on the front line but not enough staff. If Ning Lang had been in the past, he would not have been the other party's favorite, but the situation is different now, maybe there is still a little possibility?

Besides, although the plastic lighter in Ning Lang's hand is very similar to something in this world, the shell is enough to make any alchemist curious.

Angus himself is also a curious alchemy. Adventurers often sell him some rare things, and the rewards they receive are far higher than those sold to others.

The Soldier Commander said that Angus could give Baron Vaderon twice the price, and this factor was also included.

"This thing."

Angus took the lighter from Ning Lang's hand and had no doubts about being able to automatically light up. There are many alchemy props in this world that can do this. The key is that the shells in it fascinate him.

"I'll sell 30 Jindills, and sell this to me."

Angus hesitated and said, the price was much 50% higher than what the soldier said, but it was obvious that the other party rejected Ning Lang's proposal.

This made Ning Lang feel a little nervous. The other party was so demanding, so he hesitated and said, "So you see, can I teach me alchemy if I give this thing to you? Or give me self-taught knowledge?"

"No, your price is not enough."

Angus shook his head and refused, "Learning alchemy not only requires one's own talent, but also requires a lot of money and knowledge as a backing. What do you think you have?"

"I have talent, and money should be easy for me to obtain. All I lack now is knowledge."

Ning Lang immediately understood what the other party meant, and his anger came up immediately, but for the sake of the task, it is necessary to swallow his anger.

After a long negotiation with the other party, Ning Lang finally obtained the other party's permission to become an alchemy apprentice - to learn alchemy knowledge within 30 days.

His price was to hand over the plastic lighter to Angus, a lighter worth 30 Jindill.

This is almost equal to the price of 1 Jindill per day, which is ten times the normal tuition fee. However, for Ning Lang, 30 days is exactly the deadline for his mission, and what is a plastic lighter? If he wants, he can take out hundreds or thousands of them.

30 days is enough for him to learn the basics of alchemy. After all, reading magic can greatly deepen the knowledge he learned. If he consolidates it proficiently, there should be no big problem.

Of course, the whole premise is that Angus will not hide it, so that he can't learn anything.

"Very good, then come with me and I'll take you to meet other apprentices."

Angus seemed particularly happy, obviously this transaction made him very happy. He took Ning Lang out of the shop, closed the door and walked down the street.

Angus lives in a luxurious house. Compared with that, the alchemy shop that was less than 100 square meters just now was extremely shabby.

"This is my home. If you want to stay here, you can also find a hotel outside."

Angus pointed to the house and said, "Of course, you don't need to worry about rent and food expenses. It's my gift to you for free. Starting tonight, you and I will start to learn the most basic knowledge."

Ning Lang nodded, and, under the guidance of the butler who came to greet Angus, came to where he lived.

A very ordinary living room, a bed more than 20 centimeters above the ground, a clean table, and there is only one small stool. Together, these occupy the average area of ​​the entire living room - which shows how small this residence is.

But it doesn't matter. For Ning Lang, this place is just a place to sleep, and he doesn't enjoy it when he comes here.

"Please go to the basement after supper, where Mr. Angus will wait for you."

The housekeeper asked Ning Lang to wait here, and he went and ordered his servants to bring him today's dinner - a grilled fish, two slices of bread, a vegetarian salad and a small bowl of broth.

It can be said that it was a very sumptuous dinner, which instantly changed Ning Lang's impression of Angus' stinginess.

After enjoying dinner, Ning Lang followed the butler to the basement. The area here is very large, with a range of about thousands of square meters - this is also Angus' alchemy processing site. People from No. 4 and 5 work overtime here to make alchemy, preparing for the goods the next day.

"From now on, let's first learn the most basic "Basic Elements".
