Zhang Ning found Tian Sanqi, the pharmaceutical master of Yanggu Town, in the back hall of the pharmacy and explained his purpose. Tian Sanqi looked at Zhang Ning and asked: "My left hand is sad. It takes very hard work to become an excellent pharmacist."
, are you really willing to learn pharmaceutical skills from me and become a pharmacist?"
Zhang Ning answered righteously: "Labor is the most glorious. In order to realize my childhood dream of saving lives and healing the wounded, I am not afraid of it no matter how hard or tiring it is."
Tian Sanqi nodded approvingly and continued: "A qualified pharmacist is first of all an excellent herb picking master. Learning herb picking skills is a prerequisite for becoming a pharmacist."
After saying that, he handed Zhang Ning a small medicine shovel and ordered: "Go to the wild to collect 10 small Bupleurum plants and come back." He waved his hand and heard a "ding~!"
System prompt: You have acquired the temporary herb collection skill.
Zhang Ning immediately opened the life skills list to check, and found that this temporary herb-gathering skill could only collect one kind of herb, which was the small Bupleurum that Tian Sanqi asked to collect. Xiao Bupleurum is the most common herb in the Mysterious World, and there are many in the Sunshine Forest.
I revisited my hometown again and came to Sunshine Woodland. On the forest grassland, small yellow flowers nodded and smiled in the spring breeze. Xiao Bupleurum is also called Huanghuacao, and it should be this kind of small yellow flower.
The little flowers are still smiling at the spring breeze. Zhang Ning is back and busy collecting herbs.
It was supposed to be a very poetic thing, but those big black bears rudely destroyed this poetry, because next to every cluster of small yellow flowers was guarding a huge wild bear, and there was no way to kill it without killing it.
Collect with peace of mind.
Zhang Ning's job when he was hired was to kill bears. He was already very experienced in how to deal with these stupid bears, so he was able to capture them this time.
He drew his Baihong Sword and rushed forward, beating and beating the rough wild bears until they howled and screamed. In less than a minute, the wild bears fell to the ground with their huge bodies and died.
Zhang Ning retracted his long sword, took out a small spatula and squatted down. He held the rhizome of Xiaocaihu with his left hand. The small spatula in his right hand carefully loosened the soil at the root of Xiaocaihu. Then he gently pulled it up with his left hand and pulled out the entire Xiaocaihu.
Uprooted.
"Ding~!"
System prompts: Collection successful, obtained Xiaobupleurum x 1.
If the collection is successful, put away the medicine shovel and draw the sword to continue killing the bear. After killing the big stupid bear, continue to collect.
A few minutes later, Zhang Ning had collected the 10 small Bupleurum plants required for the task, and immediately returned to the city to find the pharmaceutical master Tian Sanqi, and respectfully presented the 10 small Bupleurum plants.
Tian Sanqi took the small Bupleurum from Zhang Ning's hand and found that the branches and leaves were intact, not even the roots were missing. He stroked his gray beard and nodded in praise: "Well, not bad, even the roots are intact. You can see
You were very careful when collecting it, congratulations on your sad left hand, you have passed my first test."
Listening to the NPC, if the appearance of the medicinal herbs he collected does not satisfy him, he may refuse to accept the apprentice. Zhang Ning couldn't help but secretly feel lucky. Fortunately, he has always been careful in doing things, otherwise he might not have known why he was rejected.
What reason.
Well, with the temperament of these NPCs in Xuankai, if they are rejected, most likely they will not tell the reason.
Just listen to Tian Sanqi continue: "However, if you want to be an excellent pharmacist, it is not enough to be careful, you must also be smart."
"I have been extremely smart since I was a child. I can recite 300 Tang poems at the age of three, I can solve Mathematical Olympiad problems at the age of five, and I can already understand gravity at the age of six. I am our famous little prodigy, so don't worry about my intelligence.
." Zhang Ning brazenly boasted.
Tian Sanqi puffed his beard and stared, "I've seen people who can brag, but I've never seen anyone who can brag like you. If the second level tests your bragging level, you will definitely get the first place."
Zhang Ning: "What I said is the truth."
Tian Sanqi snorted coldly: "Humph! If you are really smart, you will know after testing it."
"Teacher please!"
Tian Sanqi said: "Don't be too close. I'm not your teacher until I pass the exam."
Zhang Ning: "..."
"Please listen to the question. The news published in newspapers may not be 100% true, but what news can never be false?"
Zhang Ning was shocked. The first question was so difficult. It seemed that this old guy really wanted to make things difficult. Zhang Ning thought for a while and then replied: "This is simple. The year, month and day in the newspaper are absolutely correct."
It can’t be fake.”
"Good guy, as expected, please continue to listen to the question: The state has national laws, and families have family rules. What are the rules of the zoo?"
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "This question is easier, the answer is: turtle."
"I have neither given birth to a child nor adopted a child, nor have I adopted a godmother. I have become a mother before adopting a child or an adopted daughter. Who is this person?"
"bride!"
…
Tian Sanqi blushed and asked Zhang Ning dozens of brain-teaser questions. Zhang Ning could give the correct answer every time without making any mistakes. Tian Sanqi was tired of asking questions, but refused to admit defeat and shouted loudly.
Roared: "You really have a lot of tricks, no wonder you dare to brag so loudly in front of me. It seems that I have to come up with a trick. The last question..."
Zhang Ning said with disdain: "Don't say it's the last question, I'm not afraid even if it's the last hundred or a thousand questions."
Tian Sanqi said: "Good guy, your tone is not small, please listen to me: tell me, why does a dog wag its tail when it sees its owner?"
Zhang Ning broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. This is a question of zoology. What kind of brain teaser is it? He pondered for a long time and couldn't find the answer. Baidu, Sogou, and Google were all unavailable at critical times. In order to prevent players from cheating, the system is powerful.
It even temporarily blocked the Internet function in the game.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the toilet first and then I'll answer your question." Zhang Ning said to the NPC shamelessly.
"Going offline in the middle of the process is considered a failure in the assessment. You have to think clearly about it yourself." Tian Sanqi looked at Zhang Ning with a confident expression on his face, as if to say: Boy, fight with me, you are too young.
"My that..."
"If you are really in a hurry, answer the question quickly. Don't accidentally break your kidneys." Tian Sanqi sneered.
Zhang Ning stared at Tian Sanqi's eyes for five seconds and then asked: "Are you an NPC played by a real person?"
Tian Sanqi replied coldly: "You have read too many online game novels, right?"
"Damn it, this can be answered. If you are not an NPC played by a real person, it only proves that the programmers of the game Genkai are really invincible."
"Answer the question honestly. Don't think of other tricks. It's useless."
Zhang Ning: "You, this isn't a brainteaser question, is it?"
Tian Sanqi looked at Zhang Ning and smiled without answering.
Zhang Ning jumped up and down, "You, damn it, you couldn't pass the exam and I turned out to be a cheater."
Tian Sanqi shook his head in disappointment and remained silent.
Zhang Ning: "Okay, Master Tian, Uncle Tian, I give up. I admit that what I said just now that I knew Tang poetry at the age of three, ranked first in the Mathematical Olympiad at the age of five, understood gravity at the age of six, and was a genius prodigy was all bragging. You
"Adults don't remember the faults of villains, so let's stop playing around, okay?"
Tian Sanqi still didn’t speak.
"Uncle Tian, Ancestor Tian, what exactly are you going to do?"
Tian Sanqi said angrily: "Fuck you, I am not as shameless as you, a descendant whose brain is as stupid as an elm stick."
Zhang Ning: "..."
Zhang Ning had no choice but to ask for help from his friends in the game. There were only three names in his friend list. When asking for help, he must first find a stop.
Zhang Ning sent a private message to Zandou: "Are you busy?"
"Well, I'm paddling with the leveling team through thick and thin to gain experience. I'm not busy. Is there something wrong with Brother Zuo?"
"Ask you a question about zoology."
"???" He stopped and sent three question marks.
"I wanted to choose pharmacy as a sub-career, but I was given a hard time by the NPC old man." Zhang Ning explained: "At first he said he wanted to take a brain teaser test, but I answered 49 brain teaser questions correctly in a row. Unexpectedly,
That shameless old man deliberately made things difficult for me on the last question."
"Well, what's the last question?"
"Why does a dog wag its tail when it sees its owner?"
In less than two seconds, a stop-and-go reply message came over: "Brother Zuozuo, this is a brain teaser. This question tests reverse thinking. The answer is: because the tail cannot wag the dog."
Zhang Ning was speechless, wishing he could slap himself in the mouth, thinking backwards, why the hell didn't I think that way?
"Da Shi, I guessed the answer. The answer is: because the tail cannot wag the dog." Zhang Ning replied.
Tian Sanqi glared: "Don't pretend, who doesn't know you just asked the audience for help?"
Zhang Ning: "..."
We all know this. If we say that this NPC is not controlled by a real person, I would not believe it even if I beat Zhang Ning to death.
Tian Sanqi changed the topic and said: "However, as long as you can give the correct answer, you have passed the test. I will teach you the medicine technique now."
As he spoke, Tian Sanqi stretched out his right hand, a ball of white light rose from the palm of his right hand and pressed it on Zhang Ning's forehead.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: You have obtained the life skill [Pharmacology].
Zhang Ning opened the life skills column and saw that there was indeed a pharmaceutical skill in it, and the temporary herbal gathering skill had also become permanent.
Herb-gathering is a subsidiary skill of Pharmacy. Players who have learned Pharmacy will automatically master herb-gathering, because the NPC has said that to become a qualified pharmacist, the first requirement is to master proficient herb-gathering skills.
Currently, the skill levels of both herbal picking and pharmaceutical making are level one. There are two formulas for the first-level pharmaceutical skill, one is the [Zhixue Powder] formula, and the other is the [Blood-Activating Ointment] formula.
Zhixue Powder instantly restores 200 health points, with a CD time of 60 seconds. It can only be used on yourself. The blood-activating ointment restores a total of 150 health points to the target within 5 seconds. The CD time is 30 seconds. It can be used on yourself or other non-hostile targets.
(including friendly NPCs).
After mastering the art of making medicine, Zhang Ning could finally flex his muscles and start his own road to wealth through hard work. However, reaching the skill level of making medicine requires a lot of money to buy auxiliary materials, so a new problem appeared again, because Zhang Ning's entire net worth now totals
