The next afternoon, Zhou Jing took the initiative to invite Mali to go out for a meal.

Mali was originally planning to drag the word, thinking about making money from Zhou Jing with one stone, and then everyone left one stone, but unexpectedly they were warmly treating guests.

To be honest, it was a bit unexpected and flattered.

In the past, no apprentice who taught me ended up angry and parted in a bad mood. If it weren't for staying in a furnace area with good public security and only trapping outsiders without foundation, Mali would probably have been sacked.

Unexpectedly, with his own virtue, he would be able to enjoy this kind of treatment one day... His self-awareness is still very clear.

Anyway, someone treats you, and it’s useless to not eat. Mali simply closed the store and went to a local tavern with Zhou Jing.

The two ordered a lot of vegetables, kept refueling glasses of wine, eating and drinking, and soon Mali became a little confused.

"Bill" is not bad in physical fitness and is still awake. Seeing that Mali was almost drunk, Zhou Jing asked about the recipe indirectly.

Mali suddenly became alert, and was perfunctory, without revealing any verbal words.

Even when he was drunk, his psychological defense was still strong, he was stingy and sneered secretly.

Xiaobian, it turned out that he wanted to prepare my recipe, so he invited me to a meal. Humph, don’t even think about it…

Although Mali has all the recipes that are common and many pharmacists know about, he just doesn't want to give them unless there is real money.

Seeing that Mali was snoring tightly, Zhou Jing did not inquire anymore and continued to pour wine into Mali, paying the bill generously, making the other party excited.

It was not until the evening when it was approaching the curfew, Zhou Jing helped the drunk Mali out of the tavern.

"Where is your home, I'll send you back."

Zhou Jing asked in a low voice.

After studying with this person for a month, Mali never invited an apprentice to his home, and he had to inquire by himself.

Mali was shaking when walking, so he had to accept Zhou Jing's support, and with his sleepy eyes opened, he could tell the direction and pointed at the way.

The two walked through the winding alleyway and soon came to a small house. Mali took out the key and opened the door. Then he suddenly held the door frame blocking the way, not intending to invite Zhou Jing in.

"I'm here, you can go back by yourself." Mali said with his tongue wide.

"good."

Zhou Jing nodded, suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, strode into the room with his feet, hooked the door of the room and closed it.

Mali was startled and wanted to pull Zhou Jing's arm with both hands, but he could not shake the seemingly thin arm at all. He panicked: "What are you...what are you going to do? Go out quickly, I'm going to scream!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to shout, wanting to attract the guards patrolling the streets.

However, the next moment, a big hand grabbed his neck and blocked his voice in his throat.

Zhou Jing lifted Mali with one hand and let his legs kick in the air.

"Don't shout, or my hand shakes and your neck will break."

Mali felt the force of the gradually tightening of his neck, and his face turned purple, so he quickly compromised like a quail.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put him down and dusted Mali's clothes with a smile.

"Yes, cooperate well, this will be good for you. If I get what I want, I won't hurt you."

"You... don't do anything random."

Mali sobered up directly, his lips trembled, and he was shaking like a sieve. He was not as proud as before.

He didn't expect that this stinky person from other places would have the courage to rob the house!

Mali couldn't help but touch his neck, which was strangled with red marks, and was very nervous.

Why is this thin and weak guy so strong?!

Because of Jason's relationship, Marie preconceived the idea that Bill in front of him was a "endorsement" person and would not easily break the law. He was a decent person at least.

As long as you can't do it, it will be economic disputes at most, and it will not rise to violence. At most, it will be a beat, and people will scold you, and then find other pharmacists to study.

After all, this is the capital, and the imperial hunters also have to abide by the rules. Zhou Jing knew a hunter and only made Mali feel troublesome, but he was not afraid... Who would be afraid of a group whose duty is to protect the people?

So Mali never expected Zhou Jing to do such a thing. Now that he found out that Zhou Jing seemed to be a villain, he was really afraid.

Zhou Jing pulled Mali around the house and made sure there was only one person in the house. Then he hugged Mali's shoulder and said:

"I have no other meaning, I'm just curious about the recipe of the medicine in your hand, take it out and show it to me?"

"good……"

How dare Mali say anything else? He took out a ragged note from the bookcase and handed it to Zhou Jing tremblingly.

Zhou Jing opened his eyes and recorded Mali's experience in making potions over the years, as well as appendixes to more than a dozen formulas.

Most of these formulas are common common medicines, healing potions, spiritual nourishing potions, insect removal potions, etc. In addition, there are two types of hunter potions, namely, improving heart and lung function and reducing pain.

"Oh, you know a lot, I have to wonder if you want to teach me." Zhou Jing looked carefully several times, wrote it silently, and then stuffed the notebook back to the bookshelf.

Mali didn't dare to answer and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, don't be so scared, I won't kill anyone casually." Zhou Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Remember, today I just sent you home to take care of you who are drunk, nothing else happened."

"I understand..."

Of course Mali had no objection and nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips: "Even if you want to report the case, there is no evidence. And you recruit me as an apprentice at an outrageous price. If others know that you have collected so much money, who do you think is more reasonable?"

"I...I didn't think so."

"That's right. You cheated me a lot of money. As you have indeed taught me, I won't ask you for this money. The medicines I have made these days are also yours. You still make money. Just treat it as a deal and stop when it's good. If you don't know how to satisfy and want to make something, I may be unlucky, but you will definitely understand the value of life."

When Mali heard this, he calmed down a little and suddenly realized that it made sense.

In essence, I still made money, but I couldn't catch another person.

Although the value of those formulas exceeds Zhou Jing's efforts this month, they will not deprive him of the knowledge he has mastered and there will be no substantial loss.

Seeing that Mali was in his heart, Zhou Jing patted his shoulder with satisfaction, threatened and warned him again, and then left swagger.

Marie suddenly collapsed on the chair, her chest fluctuated violently, her heart pounding, and she felt like she was wandering around the edge of death.

He couldn't help but recall the month of getting along. Zhou Jing acted like an obedient apprentice, which made him let go of his guard and did not show his fierce side tonight.

If I had known that a month ago, I would have been more determined and shouted a higher price to scare this person away...Mali was upset and felt that he would lead the wolf into the house.

Although he was depressed, he definitely didn't have the courage to cause trouble.

Provoking this evil person again will only be unlucky. If you accept this loss, you can continue to live and enjoy it. Now Mali just wants to end this relationship quickly and no longer have any involvement with Zhou Jing.

...

The next day, the two met in the pharmacy store again, and Zhou Jing smiled, as if usual, as if nothing had happened last night.

However, Mali's face was stiff and could only smile barely, and he did not dare to treat Zhou Jing with his previous attitude.

After spending a day in a strange atmosphere, Zhou Jing finally made a request to end his apprenticeship relationship. Mali felt as if he had been amnesty and couldn't wait to agree, so he almost drove the person with a broom.

Zhou Jing took the dog out of the pharmacy shop, looked back and saw Mali standing by the door and watching.

Seeing Zhou Jing's gaze, Mali quickly shrank his head and did not dare to look again.

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze and curled his lips.

My own pharmacy level has reached Lv4 proficiency, and with more than a dozen formulas, I am already a qualified pharmacist. It took only one month to achieve it. The benefits of adding relevant qualifications are indeed amazing.

In fact, according to the normal approach, it is difficult to learn more than a dozen formulas so quickly. Even if the learning efficiency is high, a normal pharmacist teaches apprentices without a long inspection period, and it is impossible to teach all the formulas easily. It takes at least one or two years to learn more than a dozen, and he doesn't want to wait so long.

It is not suitable for normal teachers to do things. Even for people like Mali, Zhou Jing's methods are not too fierce. Although they charge money, teaching is real.

It is just using force to save the twists and turns of normal channels and quickly get the knowledge you want. It doesn’t do anything else with Mali. In the World of Exotic Beasts, fists are more practical and most convenient.

"I already have the level of a pharmacist. Now I will not be rejected when I go to the Imperial Workshop."

Zhou Jing walked on the street and thought for a while, and soon turned to the office of the Empire Workshop, where his goal was to gather the "high-end and sophisticated technology" of the entire Terra Empire.

...

At the same time, somewhere in the royal palace.

Roman strolls through the garden.

A confidant followed him and reported in a low voice:

"…The lords of tribes in various places have replied, and the plan can be implemented at any time if necessary."

Roman nodded, picked a leaf from the grass beside the road, flipped it between his fingers and said casually, "Let them wait a little longer, the time is not yet ripe, it is not a good opportunity to tear the face. The Empire now has the energy to send troops to attack."

The confidant nodded and said, "There is another thing. Recently, the people we installed in the Empire Workshop have heard news that they seem to have made new progress in the research and development of special abilities of strange beasts."

Roman paused: "Oh?"

"The Empire Workshop has been studying a special beast equipment, trying to use the special abilities of the beast. Recently, it seems that a semi-finished product has been made. The people of the Tarn royal family went to see it in person and blocked the news... We only found out that they named this equipment Miracle Armed Forces."

"I want to know the details and find out for me." Roman's tone was unquestionable.

"clear."

Roman paused, as if he had remembered something, and asked again: "How is the progress of the Imperial Workshop for the development of that special alien blood potion?"

"This has not made any progress, and I have never overcome technical difficulties. I cannot inherit the special abilities of the alien beast through the alien blood potion."

"Well, keep paying attention. Once they make progress, tell me immediately... I need to figure out which craftsman is driving the progress. This is talent."

Roman slowly said.

At this moment, a few young men in exquisitely decorated clothes and noble clothes came to the other end of the garden path, including men and women, laughing and playing.

"It's the direct blood relative of the Tarn royal family."

Roman made a secret gesture, causing his confidant to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, he controlled the fat on his face, and showed an intimate smile that was indistinguishable from the problem, and greeted him with a smile.
