A person disappeared inexplicably, and no one noticed. This bizarre scene made everyone look at each other.
"Search separately. Can a living person evaporate?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan You, who frowned slightly, was the first to speak, "He must be nearby."
"We are here to do bounty missions, not to play hide-and-seek. When the situation is unclear, I don't agree to spread our efforts to find people!"
Another tall young man in the team objected directly.
The tall young man has the same surname as Gu Zifang, his name is Gu Yungao. He is the third most powerful person in the team. His cultivation level has also surpassed that of a high martial artist. He also has a lot of say in the Dark Star Team.
"Should we just do nothing?"
Yuan You frowned deeper, "You just gave up without even trying. When did our Dark Star team become so cold-blooded?"
"This is the principle not to make meaningless sacrifices." Gu Yungao shook his head.
"Sacrifice?" Yuan You sneered, "In Santou Town, a place where X-level monsters can appear at most, are you talking about sacrifice with me?"
"You..."
"Enough!"
He Weichen was really angry when he saw Yuan You, and promptly stopped the quarrel between the two.
"Look for it."
He made the decision directly.
"But captain..." Gu Yungao seemed a little unwilling.
He Weichen pulled off the headset, stared at Gu Yungao and said coldly: "I know you had some friendship with that Wang Shuo before. I won't stop you from having any opinions about Shen Qian, and I don't bother to care whether you have selfish motives, but
You have to remember, this is Jingcheng..."
He Weichen came closer and said softly: "The city lord will watch us."
Gu Yungao was startled when he heard this. He realized something and took off his headset, "Captain, you mean the city lord has been looking for..."
"How could you not look for it?" He Weichen glanced at Gu Yungao, "Put away your petty thoughts and remember, unless Shen Qian really makes a mistake, if you deliberately target him, you will only cause trouble for yourself!"
Gu Yungao's face turned purple, but in the end he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and said nothing.
He Weichen ignored him and put on the headset again, "The newcomers stay where they are, and the rest are divided into four groups. The search range is three kilometers, and must not exceed..."
"Shen Qian!"
Before He Weichen finished speaking, Yuan You's shout of surprise suddenly sounded next to him.
Everyone turned around and saw a figure walking out from the edge of the woods. He was carrying a sack in his hand, and there was still a trace of thinking on his face.
It is Shen Qian.
Shen Qian looked up and saw everyone staring at him, with some embarrassed looks on his face, so he quickly walked over a few steps.
"Where have you gone? Do you know that we are about to find you? Have you forgotten what we told you before?"
Yuan You rushed over first, scolding sternly, and winking at Shen Qian.
Shen Qian glanced at the worried-looking Gu Zifang and others behind her, as well as the gloomy-looking Gu Yungao and others, and immediately realized that Yuan You seemed to be blaming her, but in fact, taking the lead was to protect himself. He nodded calmly. Nod.
"Sorry, I suddenly had a stomachache just now. I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I went to the toilet in the woods."
Shen Qian explained.
"There is a compartment in the armored vehicle that can be used for convenience. Why don't you ask me first?"
Yuan You said angrily, "Besides, you should also tell us that it is a taboo to act alone in a restricted area."
"I'm sorry, Sister Yuan, I'll pay attention next time!"
Shen Qian sincerely admitted his mistake.
In fact, he really didn't want to be a "thorn", but he acted like a monster when he first arrived in the local system, and Shen Qian couldn't control it.
It seemed that Yuan You had said everything that needed to be said, which made Gu Yungao, who was holding back his energy and wanted to teach Shen Qian a lesson, a little uncomfortable, but He Weichen's focus was obviously different.
He stepped forward and stared at Shen Qian, "You said you went to the woods to use the bathroom. How did you get there? Why didn't anyone notice you left?"
How the hell do I know how the system got through...
"I just walked over. As for why no one saw me, I'm not too sure."
Shen Qian appeared even more "confused" than He Weichen.
"Yanni?"
He Weichen looked at Yang Ni.
Yang Ni shrugged helplessly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.
She swore that she never let down her guard, but she really didn't notice that Shen Qian had walked into the woods.
No, she didn't even notice that someone was missing.
But Shen Qian actually walked out of the woods.
Yang Ni felt a little unconfident at this moment...
Could it be that I was really negligent?
"Shen Qian, do you think we are here for an outing?"
Gu Yungao finally failed to hide his disgust and sneered, "Do you know how much trouble your ridiculous behavior will bring to everyone?"
"It's my fault for not following the rules, but it's not to the point of being ridiculous, right?"
Shen Qian was startled, then put away his politeness and said expressionlessly.
"Okay, let's end this matter."
He Weichen allowed Gu Yungao to say something, which was a warning to Shen Qian, and then waved his hand to end Gu Yungao's conversation.
"Well, I've been delayed for almost twenty minutes. The task is urgent."
Yuan You also smoothed things over in time.
"There are relatively few monster resources in Santou Town, but the soil here is special and rich in some elixirs. The Dawn mission and the Sunlight mission both look for the corresponding elixirs, but the target herbs of the Sunlight mission may have accompanying demon beasts... …”
Yuan Youzheng was about to explain the details of the bounty mission, but Shen Qian hesitated for a moment, but still interrupted.
"Well, Sister Yuan..."
"Huh?"
Yuan You was a little unhappy that Shen Qian had interrupted her, but she thought the other party had some doubts, so she asked patiently.
"Take a look here first. Are there any of the two elixirs you mentioned?"
Amid everyone's confused expressions, Shen Qian handed over the sack in his hand.
Yuan You actually noticed the bag with dirt in Shen Qian's hand just now, but she didn't make any association with it, but she was startled at this time.
She subconsciously took the sack and opened it.
A unique mixed aroma of elixirs wafted out from the sack, and inside the sack, there were more than a dozen elixirs of different types.
"You..."
Yuan You's red lips parted slightly, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
And He Weichen and others were also stunned.
Yang Ni walked a few steps quickly and was shocked when she stared at the herbs in the sack.
As a doctor, although she is not as professional as an alchemist, she still has basic discernment skills.
These herbs look like they have just been picked, and there is still spiritual energy flowing out from the surface, so the fragrance is strongest at this moment.
Moreover, they are all elixirs that can be found in Santou Town.
But, it’s impossible for these elixirs to grow together?
Yang Ni fell into great confusion.
"Three-bearded ginseng, moon licorice...and red and white curculigo, purple peach kernel..."
After Yang Ni confirmed them one by one, she raised her head and smiled bitterly at He Weichen and others, "We have all the elixirs that may exist in Santou Town, and there are even a few that I can't name."
He Weichen and others fell into silence for a while.
It was Yuan You who reacted first. She raised her head and looked at Shen Qian, her beautiful eyes full of inquiry.
"You...just picked them all?"
"Well, I saw it on the way to the toilet, so I picked some by the way."
Shen Qian coughed lightly and said.
...Of course, he didn’t take out the plants that the system picked first, and those were the really valuable things.
The rest of these are ordinary spiritual herbs and their value is not high.
Considering that the journey ahead was still long and the limited space of the space crystal could not be wasted, Shen Qian simply took it out.
Anyway, there are some things that he definitely can’t hide.
"How do you know this?" Yang Ni thought of the key point and asked immediately.
"Let's do the basics."
Shen Qian said and took out a badge.
The base of the badge is hexagonal, with a herb-shaped picture and text on it, surrounded by flames on the edge, which is extremely delicate.
"Alchemist!"
"Are you an alchemist?"
Although most of this badge was missing, no one was unfamiliar with it, and everyone exclaimed for a while.
In terms of rarity, among the nine minor professions, apart from the beast master and singer, the alchemist is definitely the one.
In terms of difficulty in getting started, it ranks first among the nine minor professions.
The foundation needs to be laid for at least three to five years.
Not to mention anything else, the huge catalog of medicinal herbs is enough for ordinary people to drink several bottles.
"Hmm."
Shen Qian nodded and was about to put away the badge when Yuan You suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Qian's hand.
"Wait a minute, give me another look." Yuan You's eyes were bright, and there was a trace of hidden excitement deep in his eyes.
Shen Qian couldn't refuse, so he could only let Yuan You, who suddenly became extremely strong, take the badge.
"Yuan You, is there something wrong with the badge?"
Gu Yungao thought he had guessed something, and asked directly with some excitement.
Others were also surprised, forged badge?
This is a serious matter.
Once discovered by the Martial Arts Association, the punishment will be extremely severe.
Yuan You didn't say anything, she just turned the badge to the back and looked at it carefully for a while. Then she raised her head in astonishment and looked at Shen Qian in disbelief.
"Yuan You?" Gu Yungao couldn't help it and spoke again.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yuan You came back to her senses, first glared at Gu Yungao, then breathed out slightly, then looked at the others, ignoring Shen Qian's dumbfounded expression, and declared extremely solemnly.
"Shen Qian is not only an alchemist, but also... a senior alchemist!"
If the sound hadn't come from the headset, everyone would have thought they heard it wrong.
Even so, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Senior Alchemist...
Let’s not refine the particularity of the pharmacist profession itself.
Just the word "advanced" is enough to make people lose their minds.
The assessments for the first three levels of all sub-professions are the same, namely junior, intermediate and senior.
How difficult is it to reach the advanced level?
The Dark Star Team is one of the top ten slashing teams in Jingcheng. Among the secondary professions of everyone in the team, only Yuan You is a senior scholar.
Even among the top ten slashing teams, there will be no more than five advanced professions in the team.
To reach an advanced level, it is not only necessary to have solid basic knowledge, but also to master at least one advanced skill, and even have creative inspiration.
And a senior alchemist can do even more things.
For those in need, the status of a senior alchemist is not much lower than that of a powerful mountain and sea master.
In fact, Shen Qian himself did not expect to get a senior alchemist badge directly.
In fact, he was directly exempted from taking the exam.
Later, after asking the staff of the Martial Arts Association, I learned that this badge was provided directly based on Beibu's recognition of his professional title.
Shen Qian suddenly realized.
He had received a formal letter of appointment from Beiwu last week.
Since July, Mr. Shen Qian has had an additional identity, that is, a senior lecturer at Beiwu College of Pharmacy.
This position is only one step away from being a professor.
Although it is not trivial to say whether the "good fortune" prescription can really be realized, and the people at the Academy of Pharmacy have not yet come up with a formal conclusion, but the inspiration Cheng Shanhe has received is enough for Shen Qian to obtain the qualification of a lecturer.< /p>
If he hadn't considered Shen Qian's age and the possible turmoil, Cheng Shanhe would have wanted to give Shen Qian a "guest professor" directly.
Shen Qian's appointment has not yet been officially posted on the official website, and it will probably wait until the start of school, but this matter has been known to many people within Beiwu, and several fantasy versions have been circulated.
Shen Qian was too lazy to bother and originally planned to reveal his identity as an alchemist.
But I didn't expect that Yuan You was so sharp that he noticed the subtle differences in the badges.
"I know you have a secret, but you... are going a little too far."
Yuan You stared at Shen Qian complicatedly.
She is a senior scholar, and she is destined to know a little bit about everything. How rare it is to be a senior alchemist, she understands better than everyone present.
At least, she has never seen a senior alchemist under the age of thirty.
Not to mention that Shen Qian also has multiple identities such as the national martial arts champion, the southwestern literary champion, a suspected disciple of a prince, etc...
What most fatally attracts Yuan You is Shen Qian’s background.
She also struggled from the bottom, and she knows the difficulty.
If her IQ were not high enough, her martial arts talent might be buried forever.
She seems to be only an eighth-level novice martial artist, but she has only been practicing martial arts for less than three years, and she cannot compare with people like Gu Zifang who have laid the foundation since childhood...
He Weichen opened his mouth, but still didn't know what to say. He just patted Shen Qian's shoulder with a little force.
Du Qiu and others seemed much more enthusiastic, but the most enthusiastic one was undoubtedly Yang Ni.
Doctors and alchemists have something in common, and Yang Ni dreams of becoming a real alchemist. Now that there is a master in front of her, she naturally can't hold back.
"Let's go to the next place." He Weichen waved to everyone to get on the bus.
The two tasks in Santou Town were unexpectedly completed in a way that no one expected. After getting back on the vehicle, the atmosphere in the armored vehicle became inexplicably much more relaxed.
Ouyang Fei looked at Du Qiu who took the initiative to talk to him with some flattery, and then looked to the other side with a wry smile.
There, Shen Qian was sitting in the middle. On the left was Yuan You, who was smiling sweetly, and on the right was Yang Ni, who was nodding her head in agreement.
Ouyang Fei didn't know whether to envy Shen Qian or pity him for a moment.
"Don't worry, you found these elixirs. We basically didn't do anything, so most of what you deserve will be yours."
Yuan You took the sack from Shen Qian, sealed the elixirs one by one in special containers, and then smiled.
"Sister Yuan, just follow the rules."
Shen Qian nodded, but he really didn't care.
At the moment, he was just a little troubled by Yang Ni’s questions.
Fortunately, he has been influenced by the system for a long time. Even in terms of real ability, Shen Qian is at least an intermediate alchemist. It is not too easy to answer the doubts of a junior doctor.
The armored vehicle continued to move deeper into the restricted area. Shen Qian was keenly aware that the speed of the vehicle began to slow down, because the further forward, the worse the road conditions became.
"Captain Yang, where is our next stop?"
"Go to a place called Xiaowang Village. Of course, this is the name of the place before the disaster."
Yang Ni suppressed some of her smile, "But when you get there, you really shouldn't run around by yourself anymore, because there is a dusk bounty right there."
"What is the specific content of this dusk bounty?" Just in case, Shen Qian planned to ask about the situation first.
Yang Ni was about to shake her head when He Weichen suddenly raised his hand and threw a scroll over.
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment and then caught the scroll.
Everyone around looked at this scene with complicated expressions.
Non-core team members will not know the details of the mission in advance, which is considered a basic confidentiality rule, and He Weichen's move obviously means that he truly recognizes and accepts Shen Qian.
