Chapter 34 Stepping Stones
Every time he is cheated by the system, Gu Yue will have a different feeling. He really admires the flexibility and change of the system for this.
For example, at this moment, Gu Yue felt that she was a child who was fooling others but was knocked out by her parents. When she was afraid and waiting for punishment with a cold face, she got a sentence like "Don't fool people easily, those who were deceived believe in you... However, believing in you is their own choice. Since they have chosen them, they have to be responsible for it themselves, and you have already started and ended, right?"
I always feel something is wrong, but it seems to make sense.
It was this inexplicable subtle feeling that Gu Yue once again realized that the system was fueling his affairs, but he didn't have the courage to say no! Because of that "otherwise..."
The cold situation caused by the two sides' thoughts did not last long, so President Shangguan did not believe it easily, but he had already realized two points. One is that Gu Yue's hatred for the Alchemist Association is a kind of involvement, but it is true. After all, the person who was not dealing with him is already the vice president. Why naively think that this is just an individual phenomenon?
The second point is that Gu Yue is preparing to use the "hemostatic pill" in his hand to make a fuss. It should be said that his attitude towards this kind of pill will only be more positive, because this is one of his own capitals. Refining pills is not the ultimate goal. Any alchemist is pursuing more resources to develop and develop higher. Specialty like Gu Yue is no exception.
So he asked Gu Yue if there was any empirical evidence or just a self-inference.
"Uncle Shangguan is a successful businessman, and my nephew can't pretend to be so sophisticated. In fact, except for what Vice President Chen did to me, it's just a deduction from my nephew. Moreover, if Uncle Shangguan had not recognized this pill at a glance today, I would have doubted whether this would be a product that I accidentally got wrong.
However, this one is the bleeding-stopping pill, but most people in Chu State do not know that this situation has led to the fact that no matter how good my pill is, no one will be interested. In order to solve this problem, I want to fundamentally change the Chu people's understanding of pills. On the road to achieving this goal, the first obstacle is the Alchemist Association, so they are so evil and must be so evil."
President Shangguan no longer knew how many times it was that he was shocked by Gu Yue's words today, but he still couldn't control himself from thinking along the big cake painted by Gu Yue, because once his goal was achieved, would the cup he, as a collaborator, have less?
But Gu Yue’s incredibleness is far beyond his original idea. Once he is tied to him, the risks that the Shangguan family will face can be imagined. As the head of the family, how can he not consider the entire clan?
Furthermore, Gu Yue is alone. He wants to fight for it, mostly to grow up more quickly. Even if he fails, can he be more miserable than he is now? But can the Shangguan family swallow the bitter fruit of failure?
These are the most realistic issues for the Shangguan family. How could President Shangguan not consider it in depth? But Gu Yue is already ready to push him.
"Uncle Shangguan's hesitation is just right. In fact, these are just my nephew's ambitions. As an alchemist, I don't like this feeling of being strangled by someone's throat, but I can't do anything about it at the moment. Of course, Uncle Shangguan doesn't have to worry about my personal thoughts imposed on you. This is not in line with my business principle, let alone I need your protection at the moment, right? Therefore, it's good if this kind of elixir needs to be sold. Uncle Shangguan, you can decide. As for any profit, it's not very important to me. Two hundred is enough."
"This proposal from my nephew is very important to the Shangguan family. It is not easy for me to make a hasty decision. I will stay at home first. What should I do later?" President Shangguan, who was turbulent in his heart, was still a silly appearance on the surface. It seems that he has become accustomed to the shock given by Gu Yue.
"No hurry, Uncle Shangguan, you'll be fine."
If it is said that in the transaction with the monster, Gu Yue is worth 10% of it, it is equivalent to giving away for free, but after all, he still has to deal with the upper and lower relationships and share with the Tang family. However, the sale of this pill is for free. Gu Yue believes that a businessman is seeking profit, as long as the cake is big enough, he is not afraid of not having the desire to take a bite, but the time is naturally not yet ripe. After all, this is the first time we meet.
But Gu Yue just wanted to express her thoughts in person, because she really didn't want to try to get kicked out by others, especially after having a bond with some people... To put it bluntly, she was afraid of things, so she could just drive herself out earlier...
After the first contact with President Shangguan, Gu Yue was arranged in a room on the fifth floor to show respect. Not long after, the alchemy collection, a top-grade alchemy furnace and bottles were sent to him. It is particularly worth mentioning that the alchemy furnace can be stored in an inscription like the weapons in the hands of the Tang brothers and sisters. This made Gu Yue very excited. It was not only as simple as refining alchemy wherever he went, but more importantly, he could study what this inscription was when he had time.
Gu Yue spent an afternoon reading the not-too-thick refining collection. The main reason is that the names of the messy herbal medicines are really big, but the system does not require him to know every word and can still record the content of the original book. This made Gu Yue burst into tears, "If I had known this, would I have to spend a lot of effort to read one word at a time!"
Next, it was another exciting moment for Gu Yue. In addition to the bleeding-resistance pill, the Qi recovery pill that helps restore true qi, and the Concentration Pill that helps restore mental power, these two first-grade pills also exist in the picture album in the form of pills. It can be seen that the collection of alchemy collected by the Shangguan family is definitely not a castrated version circulated by the Chu State.
With the foundation laid by the bleeding-stop pill, the refining of these two elixirs did not cause any difficulties for Gu Yue at all, especially when Gu Yue was insufficient in his mental power, he personally experienced the effect of the Concentration Pill. Although it was not as efficient as directly swallowing the blue ball, it was much more reliable than being idle and dazed.
After habitually refining ten pieces of one piece, Gu Yue began to try the reverse refining of these two raw materials used and began to swallow the blue balls.
"Tip: The host swallows the essence of herbal medicine, and the upper limit barrier of mental power begins to loosen, with a progress of 1%, and a cumulative drug poison progress of 1%.
"It turns out that swallowing different herbal essences can produce a certain effect. This time the upper limit is not sealed, so it can be broken? But this accumulated poison... I knew that the system left me so many poison-categorized grids that were not wasted in vain!"
With the spirit of exploring the immortality of the Yellow River, Gu Yue swallowed 100 Qi Recovery Pill Essences in one breath.
"Tip: The host swallows the essence of herbal medicine, and the upper limit of mental power is loosened. The upper limit is increased by 20. Now it is 220 points. The cumulative drug poison progress is 100%, and the drug poison is produced 2, which triggers the 'more poison too much, and the current number of carrying 4, and the negative effect is aggravated, reducing the mental power limit by 20%.
"Very good, great! My mental power has finally broken through. Well, I have successfully reduced my existing mental power by 4 points!"
This is the case with losing money and gaining publicity? But Gu Yue didn't care, and even continued to swallow the essence of the Concentrating Pill.
I have to say that Gu Yue really has the spirit of fearlessness and perseverance to persevere, so his mental power limit dropped to 168 points.
Gu Yue has no complaints about this result. Exploring the unknown comes at a cost, right? But the most important point is that he basically believes that the effect of swallowing blue balls is the same.
Before he knew it, it was already dark. President Shangguan sent someone to invite Gu Yue to the banquet, and his intention to welcome him was self-evident.
Gu Yue was curious. The person who sent the message came sooner or later. It happened that Gu Yue was thinking about what to do next, at least he did not disturb his alchemy stage. Could it be a coincidence?
If not, then there should be a master in this building.
The Shangguan family is worthy of being a great family. There were more than a dozen people around this family banquet, but Shangguan Linglu was not on the list, so President Shangguan was naturally the main seat, but he specially asked Gu Yue to sit on his left, which made the relatives complain.
Gu Yue was too lazy to care about it, but he took out the Qi Recovery Pill that he had just refined and asked someone to give each family one, and the more it gave to President Shangguan.
"The person who is in a down-and-out in Gu Yue, President Demeng Shangguan has no reason to report it. This is the newly refined Qi Recovery Pill. Please don't refuse to refuse."
For a moment, the table was silent. The heads of relatives in each room stared at the pills in their hands and looked at them again and again, occasionally glanced at them to confirm whether they were the same.
President Shangguan was twisting his beard with a smile on the surface, but his heart was surging and unable to calm down. "Have you really seen a single Qi Recovery Pill before? It can only take only one afternoon to learn to refine more than a dozen pieces?!"
The effect of this explosion made Gu Yue very satisfied. At the same time, he also confirmed that although the Shangguan family is rich and the most prominent in the business world, they are still the Chu country clan. Not only does it not dabble in the alchemy, but they have not invited real alchemists to serve as family worship. Otherwise, how could a first-grade elixir make them speechless?
Gu Yue felt that his ideas were becoming more and more promising, and that his arrival was definitely the key to adding wings to the Shangguan family. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that more augmentation agents would be needed. However, even if the start is smooth, it still needs to be stable. After all, I still have to succeed because of others...
But Gu Yue did not expect that his actions actually pushed the Shangguan family, especially Chairman Shangguan, which made him make an important decision.
The original sarcasm turned into commercial hype. It was the first time Gu Yue sat with so many people after coming to Chu State. She couldn't help but feel a little dazed and remembered the New Year's dinner in the past. However, now she is just an outsider to them, and of course they are outsiders to themselves.
After the dinner, Gu Yue returned to her room. Just as she was about to recall the magnificent experiences of the past few days and then carefully planned the route for the rest, the door was pushed open.
