Wen Xue is a receptionist at the front desk of the Alchemist Guild. Her biggest ambition is to become an alchemist. Unfortunately, she is not talented enough. She took the exam several times and failed to even pass the apprenticeship exam.
In desperation, I had to work part-time at the front desk and study hard at the same time.
The front desk clerk may not seem like much, but her income is actually pretty good. She gets a commission from the pills she sells. Although the share is not large, the more she sells, the more benefits she gets. After one year, her income
, it is at least five or six times more profitable than people with the same job!
However, the income was good, but she didn't want to stay an extra day. It wasn't because the work was difficult, but... because of her appearance.
When she was around 20 years old, she was in her best years, and the most important thing was that her parents gave her a very beautiful appearance, not to mention hard to find, at least one of a hundred!
Originally, it was a good thing for a person to be beautiful, and any woman should be complacent, but it was different when she worked here. Every day, countless young men from aristocratic families deliberately came to talk to her and made all kinds of unbelievable requests.
There were several of them, and they came here every day to stalk her and use all kinds of tricks, which made her very tired.
But as a service staff, she couldn't drive them away. If she really wanted to do this, if they just said they were here to buy something, she would be in trouble!
"I hope those shameless flies don't come today!"
I muttered secretly in my heart, arranged my clothes, stood at the counter with a smile, and then saw a young man walking in.
This young man looks young, probably less than twenty, but his skin is well maintained, smooth and delicate, much better than hers.
"Sir, what do you need?"
Wen Xue looked over with a professional smile.
"Do you... sell books here? The ones about the efficacy of elixirs that can unlock special physiques!" the young man asked.
This person is none other than Zhang Xuan who came over.
My predecessor had never been here before and didn't know the specific situation. He could only ask the front desk.
"If you want to buy books, please go to the bookstore. This is the Alchemist's Guild!"
After hearing the other party's words, the smile on her face suddenly sank, and Wen Xue's face turned ugly.
If you want to strike up a conversation, can you do it professionally?
Come to the Alchemist Guild to buy books...why don't you go to the restaurant to buy shoes?
"No, I'm here to find books about the efficacy of elixirs. There must not be any in the bookstore!" Zhang Xuan thought for a moment without noticing the sudden change in the girl's attitude.
Pretend, I will quietly watch you pretend!
Wen Xue clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes cold.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhang Xuan thought that the other party did not understand what he meant, and continued to explain: "I want to find a medicine that can stimulate special physiques, but I don't know what medicine is suitable. I want to check the relevant books. You are here
If you have any, you can sell me a few copies, or... lend them to me for a look!"
"I told you not yet!"
Ignoring you is still exciting, right?
You also buy books, borrow books... Are you trying to trick girls with this old joke?
Wen Xue concluded that the guy in front of her was here to cause trouble and deliberately attract her attention.
Otherwise, who would go to the Alchemist’s Guild to buy books? Isn’t this just looking for trouble?
At this moment, Zhang Xuan also saw that the other party's attitude was not good, and couldn't help but feel strange.
He didn't offend the other party either, so why does he have this expression?
"Maybe it's menopause!" He shook his head and didn't take it to heart. As a civilized and thoughtful person, he didn't bother to argue with a woman.
If Wen Xue knew what was going on in his mind, he would definitely be furious to death.
I'm only twenty, okay? You're just menopausal...
"Well, your alchemist guild should have a library. Can you take me to see it?"
Knowing that the explanation didn't make sense, Zhang Xuan thought for a while and came up with a way.
Both the teachers' guild and the alchemist's guild basically provide conveniences for this special profession, and there must be a separate library to allow these special professions to continue to learn and make progress.
Since the other party does not sell books, the problem can also be solved by letting him enter the library to take a look.
"The library? Do you still want to enter the library?"
Seeing that the guy's demands in front of him were getting more and more outrageous, Wen Xue could no longer bear it: "If you don't want to buy the elixir, please leave!"
"Why, your library doesn't let people in? How much does it cost for one entry? It's not like I won't pay the bill!" Zhang Xuan was a little unhappy.
There's nothing wrong with this woman, right?
Come over and ask yourself, it's like taking gunpowder.
Hearing that the other party showed the arrogant attitude of a young man from an aristocratic family who regards money as dirt, Wen Xue was even more disgusted: "It's great to have money! Can you do anything if you have money? To tell you the truth, the Alchemist Guild has a library and distributes it among them.
There are two levels: elementary and advanced. Even the elementary library requires an alchemist apprentice to read it. Are you an alchemist? Are you an alchemy apprentice?"
"Alchemy apprentice?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
He didn't know much about the Alchemist's Guild, but he still knew a little about the academy. Students have their own libraries, and teachers have their own teachers. Especially the latter, it's impossible to let you in without teacher qualifications.
Otherwise, if everyone goes in and reads randomly, what secrets would there be?
Moreover, it’s just a matter of browsing. If you see some good exercises, practice them randomly, and become obsessed, whose responsibility is it?
The Alchemist's Guild should do the same thing. It divides the library into elementary and advanced. Only those who have reached a certain level can read it. This also prevents people from being greedy and cannot digest it, and also ensures that the secrets are not spread out.
"Alchemy apprentice...I'm not, anyone can take the exam?"
He is just an ordinary teacher and has never learned alchemy. Naturally, he cannot be an alchemy apprentice. However, everything can be tested. If you want to become a famous teacher, you need to learn more knowledge.
"Assessment? Do you want to assess the alchemy apprentices?" Wen Xue believed that the other party was deliberately accosting her, and her heart was already filled with anger. Seeing him pretending to assess the alchemy apprentices, she could no longer hold back: "Okay! That's right over there.
There is an assessment point, I will take you there now!"
Aren't you pretending?
I'll take you there now to see if you can still pretend!
Although he is just an apprentice, he is just like a famous master's apprentice. He needs to be screened and tested on various knowledge and basics. I have been taking the exam for several years and can't pass it. You are a playboy who only knows how to hook up with girls and you haven't taken any apprenticeship classes.
Yes, I haven’t read any medicinal materials books or alchemy books, but I still want to take the test?
Are you kidding me?
Huh, if I don’t let you be embarrassed on the spot and expose your face, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m easy to deceive!
Wen Xue's mouth bulged, and she snorted coldly in her heart.
"Is it over there?"
"What? You don't dare to go?"
Wen Xue sneered.
"Eh? Okay!" Seeing that the other party was like gunpowder, Zhang Xuan shook his head and was about to follow him when he suddenly looked over with some embarrassment: "The assessment... What is the content of the alchemy apprentice? Do you need to read any books?"
