Chapter 68 The common ground that narrows the distance between us——
Pharmacist's Workshop, in front of the alchemy room No. 17, the special spirit stone used for timing has turned from green to red. It is obvious that the five-hour limit has been exceeded.
When the spirit stone turns red, the spirit gathering array, sound isolation array, or fire ignition array in the alchemy room will be automatically closed, forcibly terminating the alchemy operation.
Under normal circumstances, alchemists will have a more accurate estimate of how long their alchemy will take, so they can choose a suitable time to rent an alchemy room.
But there are also special circumstances, such as multiple failures, or the feeling that you just can't stop, which may make the estimated time longer.
In order to solve this situation, there is a spirit gathering circle in the corner of the alchemy room itself. As long as the corresponding spirit stone is placed on it, the time can be automatically extended, which is very user-friendly.
However, at this time, the guest in Room 17 had not come out yet and had not renewed his payment.
Even if according to the rules, Pharmacist Shop will give guests an extra half an hour as "tidying up" time after the time limit is reached, but at this time, the half-hour limit has already passed!
The waiter paced back and forth in front of the door, with a slight hesitation on his face. After some thought, he knocked on the door.
"Da! Da! Guest No. 17, Guest No. 17?
Guest on the 17th, are you here? It's time on the 17th and the alchemy furnace is no longer functioning properly. Hello?"
"..."
There was no response... He couldn't have fallen asleep inside, or was guest No. 17 making a big mistake while refining the alchemy, and blew up the furnace and killed himself?
A question mark popped up on the waiter's head. He thought for a while and found the waiter's special token. He opened the door and glanced into the room. His pupils shrank suddenly!
"The person is missing? Disappeared!"
The waiter was instantly shocked. He saw that there were still a lot of unused herbs in the room, but the person inside was...
The waiter's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a crashing sound. He blinked, walked to the alchemy furnace, and looked in through the wind eye... He happened to meet a pair of innocent big eyes!
"Help, help, help... help!"
As if seeing a savior, Hei Yang was so moved that he almost cried: "Why did you come here!"
Waiter: "..."
After checking his eyes, he was the person he was looking for.
But guest No. 17 seems to be seriously ill...
He stretched out his hand to open the lid of the alchemy furnace, and Hei Yang burst out of it with a "swish" sound. He spat out the ashes in his mouth in disgrace: "Bah, bah, bah, you almost suffocated me to death!"
"Uh..."
The waiter carefully checked and found that Guest No. 17 was probably able to communicate normally with humans. He was a creature with a medium to high IQ and would not suddenly rush to bite him.
After confirming this, the waiter couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept a distance and carefully handed over a towel: "Well, I think you may need this."
"Ah, thank you!"
Hei Yang quickly took the towel, turned his spiritual power into water to wet it, and wiped his dark face white again.
Fortunately, he had spiritual power to protect his body, so he didn't burn off his eyebrows, hair, or clothes. Otherwise, he would be bald and lose his face in public!
The waiter was shocked when he saw Hei Yang reaching out and condensing a ball of water.
This guest with strange behavior turned out to be a monk in the Qi refining stage who had already entered Taoism!
After discovering this, the waiter's already respectful expression became even more humble.
In the Kingdom of Qiankun, the status of a monk itself represents status, and even the managers of the Medicine Master's Workshop must treat each other with courtesy.
And as a mere waiter in the physical training realm, he naturally did not dare to be disrespectful to this young-looking immortal.
Moreover, since the other party is an immortal, then what he does must have deep meaning!
It seems that the other party has locked himself in the alchemy furnace, but in fact...
The waiter's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head in fear: "My lord, have we dissatisfied you in some way, so you protested against us by smearing yourself like this?
If so, please be sure to express your dissatisfaction and we will make reasonable improvements to ensure a more humane service quality!"
"Ah, no, no, this is a nice place, quite humane."
Hei Yang quickly waved his hand and handed the towel back: "It's just a little..."
"A little something?!"
The waiter asked anxiously: "Just say it, don't worry..."
"That's why the alchemy furnace lid can't be opened from the inside!"
Hei Yang couldn't help complaining: "What's going on when the outside is automatically locked as soon as it's closed?"
"Ah this..."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, with a professional expression on his face: "You have asked the right person, please see, although the alchemy furnace we have here is not as good as those magic weapons, treasures, or even spiritual weapons. p>
But in terms of details, we strive to be perfect. Look at this lock. We asked a professional mechanical master to design it. As long as it is closed, the lid and stove can be integrated into one!
In this way, only the alchemist himself can lift the lid from the outside, and it is even more difficult to flush out the medicinal power inside. In this way, the utilization of medicinal materials, the circulation of wind power, and the formation of formations are ensured..." "Okay, stop, stop, stop, I probably know what's going on, and I also know that you are very professional and knowledgeable."
Hei Yang looked at the waiter showing off his pride and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth: "Well, it's immoral to base your own happiness on the pain of others, so please stop talking."
"Ah this..."
The waiter suddenly reacted, with a look of horror on his face again: "I'm very sorry, because this is a necessary content, so a conditioned reaction occurred, so...
I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect you to jump in!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."
Hei Yang showed his dead eyes: "I can lock myself in, I must be like a fool now, right?"
"No, no, how could you be a fool, monk? There is definitely some misunderstanding!"
The waiter quickly defended, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Actually, with your vast magical power, monk, you can break open the alchemy furnace violently and escape from it!"
"Ah, do you think I haven't thought about it?"
Hei Yang pointed at the alchemy furnace and said in a calm voice: "But when I think of the possible amount of compensation, I don't dare to move!"
"Ah this..."
Faced with this unexpected but reasonable answer, the waiter suddenly felt that the distance between himself and the aloof monk had suddenly become closer!
Because they have one thing in common, that is poverty!
What is this feeling of pride and sadness...
"Forget it, forget it."
Hei Yang sighed, looked at the waiter, and couldn't help but ask: "Five hours should have ended long ago, why are you here now!
Tell me, are you slacking off and taking advantage of your work?!"
"Ah, this, that, that's how we stayed for half an hour for each customer..."
Beads of sweat dripped from the waiter's head as he explained: "So, not only do you need to pay for the five low-grade spiritual stones that you have already paid before, but you also need to pay for this half hour extra..."
"Ah, half a low-grade spiritual stone, right..."
Hei Yang sighed, took out a low-grade spirit stone, and thought about where to split it in half...
"Well, just give it all to me."
The waiter whispered: "No need to separate."
"Ah?"
Hei Yang glared: "You want to get kickbacks?!"
"Ah, no, no, that's it..."
The waiter quickly explained: "Because the excess time will be charged double, this is stated in the rules we posted. I definitely did not increase the price privately!"
"..."
Hei Yang blinked his eyes with a subtle expression: "So, I spent an extra spiritual stone not to make alchemy, but to let myself experience half an hour more of life in the alchemy furnace? Am I sick?!" "Ah this..."
The waiter defended in a low voice: "Well, it's not us who stuffed you in..."
Hei Yang: "..."
"It makes sense, it's my problem."
Hei Yang looked sad and handed over the spirit stone in his hand along with three more spirit stones: "Here, overtime fee, and I will renew for three more hours. Some pills have not been processed yet..."
"Oh, okay, I'll help you register right now!"
The waiter quickly completed the registration, and the light in front of the alchemy room changed from red to green again.
"Well, I won't waste your time anymore, you're busy!"
The waiter quickly exited: "You can call me anytime if you need anything!"
"Ah, I understand, you can go and do some work too."
"Well, don't jump in again. Of course, I'm just suggesting that if you like..."
"Climb! That's what you like!"
Hei Yang fiercely squeezed out these words through his teeth: "Get out quickly, or I'm afraid I can't help but silence you!"
