After learning the purpose of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's visit, Xu Ling said with a smile: "A strength-enhancing potion with a purity of more than 90% is considered to be of perfect quality. Mr. Bai also specified that it must be level 8 or above, which is even less... As far as I know
You know, they don’t exist in the sales hall.”
After a pause, Xu Ling said: "Mr. Bai and Miss Bai can go find the store manager... However, he seems to be in a bad mood recently."
"In a bad mood? Why?" Bai Xiaowen was curious.
"I'm not sure. It seems to be related to the pharmacy sales in the store." Although Xu Ling is the sales team leader, she is only a low-level cadre.
Bai Xiaowen originally didn't want to trouble Zhang Jing and Sun Hecheng, but now there was no better way. He and Li Shuyi thanked Xu Ling and walked through the internal passage of the staff to the pharmaceutical department at the back.
Outside the office door of old store manager Zhang Jing, Bai Xiaowen heard Sun Hecheng's voice.
"The Titan Guild is too bullying. The president must find a way to prevent them from being so arrogant."
The old store manager Zhang Jing's voice also sounded: "What can I think of? The Giant God Guild is a Class A guild, one of Jinghai's signatures. Not to mention that they opened a branch in Chihuo District, they opened it right across from us.
What can you do? We, the logistics staff, don’t think about causing trouble for the guild, just be patient and it will be over..."
Sun Hecheng was still a little unwilling: "But our sales have dropped seriously..."
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Bai Xiaowen heard a few words and felt it was impolite to eavesdrop outside, so he knocked on the door to signal.
"Who is it?"
The door of the office was opened from the inside, revealing Sun Hecheng's face with Chinese characters.
"Uncle Sun, Grandpa Zhang, it's me."
Li Shuyi greeted Sun Hecheng and Zhang Jing obediently, and then pulled Bai Xiaowen in.
The office door was closed again, and Sun Hecheng's originally gloomy face softened a lot. Zhang Jing's face was even more wrinkled with a smile: "Hey, aren't you in college? It's not the weekend.
It’s not a holiday, why are you here?”
Li Shuyi said with a smile: "Xiaowen and I are from the combat department. It's different from other ordinary departments. You can take classes or not, and there are no credits."
"Then you can't be lazy, you must take the classes you should take..." Zhang Jing rambled.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi listened to Zhang Jing's nagging honestly, and then Bai Xiaowen changed the subject: "I heard you chatting with Master Zhang just now, is there something wrong with the pharmacy?"
Zhang Jing didn't want to talk more about this matter, perhaps because he didn't want Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowen to be distracted. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay... I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here this time?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "I want to buy a bottle of strength-type strengthening potion. The actual bonus effect is around 4 points. The grade should be below level 8, but the purity should be high...I couldn't find it in the front hall."
Zhang Jingxian made a joke: "I knew you wouldn't think of an old man like me..."
The two of them laughed awkwardly.
Zhang Jing touched his chin and got to the point: "Strength-enhancing potions below level 1 and level 8 basically have a theoretical effect of 4 points. To achieve the actual effect of 4 points...well, 75% purity can reach 3 points.
The actual gain of points. But the key last point depends on the probability. The purity must be at least 87.5% to have a 50% chance of increasing the last point."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and added: "The 50% probability is still a bit low. I wonder if there are perfect quality ones in the store?"
Zhang Jing smiled.
Sun Hecheng on the side said: "Perfect quality potions with a purity of more than 90% are not easy to make. It depends on luck. Take me for example, on average, there will be 3 to 5 bottles of perfect quality potions every month.
But most of them are low-level. For potions above level 8, the average production is only one or two bottles a year."
"How come there are so few?" Bai Xiaowen was shocked. He knew that Sun Hecheng's pharmaceutical quantity was no problem. He could produce several thousand bottles of pharmaceuticals a year, and he could be called a model worker. Calculated in this way, the number of high-end pharmaceuticals with perfect quality was only a thousand.
A ratio of one to one?
"This involves factors that affect purity," Sun Hecheng explained, "Xiaobai, do you know why the purity of pharmaceuticals can be high or low, and it is almost impossible to reach 100%?"
Bai Xiaowen hesitated: "It's because the medicinal materials themselves contain slight impurities."
"This is just one aspect," Sun Hecheng said. "What's more important is the 'active ingredient ratio' of the medicinal materials."
"Proportion? Before making medicine, how many grams of each medicinal material is needed? Aren't they all weighed in advance according to the proportion formula?" Bai Xiaowen said.
"The 'active ingredients' I'm talking about refer to the 'energy particles' in the medicinal materials! For example, the 'life particles' contained in the silver leaf grass used to make the silver light potion are the active ingredients."
"The weight of the medicinal materials can be weighed in advance, but there is no way to accurately measure the active ingredients in the medicinal materials. The same amount of silver leaf grass, even if it is of the same appearance, will definitely contain different life particles."
Sun Hecheng continued: "To prepare a medicine, if you want to use two active ingredients a and b, each accounting for 50%. You use the weighing method to weigh out 100 grams of type a and type b medicinal materials. It looks like
Each accounts for 50%, but in reality? Maybe the Class A medicinal materials contain a little more active ingredient particles, accounting for 51% of the final ingredient ratio, while the Class B active ingredients are only 49%."
"Pharmaceuticals are a process of chemical reactions. Only 49% of the total dose of Class A active ingredients will react with Class B active ingredients to become a medicine. And what about the extra 2%? For this bottle of medicine, these 2
% can only be impurities. The useless active ingredients are just impurities.”
Sun Hecheng concluded: "The above is the simplest example. The actual prescription will only be more complicated, and the more advanced the enhanced potion, the more types of medicinal materials are required for the formula, and the proportion of active ingredients will be more difficult to grasp."
One kind has more than 1%, the second has more than 2%, and the third has less than 3%. The total amount of accumulated impurities is terrible."
Zhang Jing added with a smile: "Purity is also related to pharmacists. When the reaction of several active ingredients has just ended, it is the most ideal state to proceed to the next process immediately and seamlessly. Even if it is even 0.1 seconds earlier,
If the active ingredients do not have time to fully react, impurities will also be produced; with a delay of 0.1 seconds, the drug may even fail..."
"There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical pharmaceutical processes. Pharmacists need to control the details by feeling. This is also the reason why it is impossible to use machines to process medicinal materials and make psychic potions. Machineized production
The scrap rate is too high and the cost is simply unbearable.”
