The semi-finals and finals are both held in the capital, so the Jinghai University team that advanced will not go back to Jinghai in the next week and will stay in the capital.
The psychic training field required for the daily training of the Jinghai school team is provided by the organizer, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to train these days.
Li Shuyi pulled Bai Xiaowen's clothes and whispered: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"Well, it's okay. You can train with the team first."
Qiao Rui invited Bai Xiaowen to go to the Chinese Pharmacist Conference training site. She didn't know how much time it would take, and it would affect the overall training of Jinghai University.
If Li Shuyi leaves with Bai Xiaowen, there will be only three people left in Jinghai University, and training and running-in will be out of the question.
"Okay, if you have anything, call me." Li Shuyi was a little reluctant, squeezed Bai Xiaowen's palm, and left with Yan Xiaoxin and others.
…
Black commercial vehicles are racing on the streets of Beijing.
"How many places do we have in total for this conference's exhibition match?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Three." Qiao Rui said.
"Three?" Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, "I remember Qiao Qi said that there are currently five powerful young pharmacists in the country. Although one of them went to Japan, there are still four... No matter how you look at it,
, I shouldn’t even get one of those places.”
Bai Xiaowen's reputation as a genius pharmacist has not yet been widely known to everyone. Compared to the "Five Little Whites from Central Plains", his reputation in the pharmacist circle is not high.
Many people are still dubious about Bai Xiaowen. Just like a citizen scientist somewhere claims to have proved Goldbach's conjecture, Bai Xiaowen's propaganda that he is "good at making perfect strengthening potions" is just that in the eyes of many people.
It's propaganda and hype.
What's more, in the Young Pharmacist Exhibition Competition, making one or two bottles of perfect potion will not make you shine.
Qiao Qi shrugged and said: "As I told you last time, the one who defected is called Huang Xuan. He is recognized as the most powerful one among the five Xiaobai. I heard that he represented Japan in the competition, and the other four were scared and made excuses.
Not participating... The Drug Development Committee went to the drug development committee several times before convincing two of them to reluctantly participate."
"Afraid?" Bai Xiaowen was stunned.
"At the height of the storm, it is reasonable that they are unwilling to risk their reputation..."
Qiao Rui said softly: "This time, Huang Xuan came with bad intentions. Many Japanese media are hyping the concept of the so-called revenge war... This International Pharmacist Competition has attracted a lot of attention, especially among the domestic pharmacist circles.
.”
Bai Xiaowen thought about it carefully and probably understood.
Most pharmacists cherish their reputation. Their signature on the medicine label means quality assurance and real money.
It would be fine if it were just a general competition, but in such an international competition, being defeated by Huang Xuan, who was naturalized in Japan, would greatly damage his reputation. This exhibition match actually has a certain degree of national sentiment.
Just like in the AD era, the national table tennis team was invincible, but Deng Yaping lost to the naturalized Japanese Chili Koyama (formerly known as He Zhili), and Zhang Jike lost to the naturalized Japanese Tomokazu Harimoto (formerly known as Chang Chiwa), which was particularly hard to accept.
"Then you came to me, did you also trick me?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Qiao Qi scratched his head.
Qiao Rui had been looking into Bai Xiaowen's eyes, and she said softly: "I have confidence in you."
This time it was Bai Xiaowen's turn to be embarrassed. In any case, it is a very happy thing to be so favored by a gentle beauty. He touched his nose and smiled: "When you say that, I really have to work hard.
Yes, it is a big sin to disappoint a beautiful woman..."
Soon the car drove to the training ground, which was a rather grand courtyard.
In the age of psychic energy, there are no longer original courtyard houses in the capital, they are all imitations. But no matter what, in the capital where land is at a premium, a courtyard house is still extremely rare and rare. It is not only a proof of financial resources, but also a symbol of status.
.
"Actually, you are already late. Master Yang Haogu taught the class in the past few days. Now that the pharmacist competition is approaching, free communication between training members is the main focus," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
The access control to the training ground is very strict, and there are all straight-looking soldiers standing guard, and Bai Xiaowen can feel the aura of the awakened ones hidden in the dark.
After Qiao Rui showed a certificate, she took Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Qi and the man in black, Uncle Wang, and entered directly.
"Computational ability is an important ability indicator for pharmacists. To use a crude metaphor, how much salt should a chef put in when frying a plate of vegetables, and how much should he put in when frying a pot of vegetables? This involves computing ability.
Of course, a pharmacist's calculations are much more complicated than cooking, and the pharmaceutical process is ever-changing."
A young man's voice sounded, followed by a burst of laughter.
After bypassing the screen wall, Bai Xiaowen saw a group of people sitting together. In the middle was a young man wearing white clothes, standing in front of a pharmaceutical table, talking and laughing with others while operating.
"So many people? Didn't it mean that there are only three places to participate in the exhibition match?" Bai Xiaowen asked in a low voice.
Qiao Qi waved her hand: "Most people come to class because of their connections. The one in the middle who is performing medicine is Ke Caijin from Five Little Whites. He is the protagonist...well, so are you."
It is worth mentioning that the people present are basically awakened people, but almost all of them are standard professional templates.
This is not surprising. After the pharmacist successfully makes the first bottle of potion and obtains this profession, his mental power will increase. In addition, there is no shortage of strengthening potions and money, reaching the total of 20 points for a quasi-awakened person.
Properties are very easy.
After reaching the standard of a quasi-awakened person, the pharmacist will also try his luck in the spiritual world and change his profession to become an awakened person. Not to mention the privileges of the awakened person, just the fact that the body is digitized and there is no disease or pain makes people flock to it.
Almost all pharmacy masters have the identity of awakened ones. Awakened ones can stay focused for a long time during the pharmaceutical process. Even if they are mentally exhausted, they will be full of energy after sleeping for a few hours. This is an advantage that ordinary people cannot match.
However, their focus is still on medicine and they are not good at fighting. This is different from Bai Xiaowen.
Qiao Rui took Bai Xiaowen to the outside of the venue and found a stone bench to sit down and listen to the exchanges between these young pharmacists.
The pharmacists noticed the arrival of several people, but not many people could recognize them. They could only guess their identities based on their clothing and temperament. It must be said that Uncle Wang, an awakened master with a military temperament, was guarding them.
Next to it, it’s still very eye-catching.
Ke Caijin's eyes lit up and he waved quickly.
The others were led by Ke Caijin and stood up one after another without knowing why.
Qiao Rui's dark eyebrows frowned slightly, then relaxed, waving to Ke Caijin, and then shook her head slightly.
Ke Caijin then continued to devote himself to medicine, chatting with others from time to time. For his pharmaceutical level, making low-difficulty strengthening medicines was as simple as eating and drinking, and did not require full concentration.
However, after Qiao Rui's arrival, it's hard to say how much these people are focusing on pharmacy exchanges.
"Qiao Qi, come with me to see Master Yang," Qiao Rui said, "Brother Xiaowen, Master Yang's residence is in the backyard, but he doesn't like to be disturbed by strangers. Please wait for us here first."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly.
After Qiao Rui and the others left, Bai Xiaowen took a careful look at Ke Caijin.
Ke Caijin, who is known as the "Little Master", is indeed the leader of young pharmacists in China. Although the medicines he prepares are not of high grade, his ease of use and ease of use are indeed better than any pharmacist Bai Xiaowen has seen.
Of course, except Bai Xiaowen himself, he is different from ordinary pharmacists, he is an alternative.
While Bai Xiaowen was observing, a pharmacist who was slightly fat and about thirty years old came over from the outside of the circle.
"Are you from the Qiao family? But you're a little unfamiliar." The fat pharmacist said with a smile, "My name is Zhu Chengjun."
"I'm not." Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
"Then...why are you with the second lady of the Qiao family? May I ask who you are..."
"My name is Bai Xiaowen."
"Bai Xiaowen? This name sounds familiar..." Zhu Chengjun suddenly frowned, and the warmth on his face faded a lot.
"I remembered, you are the Bai Xiaowen who participated in the young pharmacist exhibition competition with Master Ke and Master Zhou?" Zhu Chengjun said.
"I don't know if it's with the Master Ke and Master Zhou you mentioned. However, I am going to participate in the exhibition match." Bai Xiaowen glanced at it, and there seemed to be a different look in the fat man's eyes.
"You are the rumored evil pharmacist genius? You have studied medicine for less than a year?" Zhu Chengjun's words were full of suspicion, "How did you get this spot?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned, this fat man's words were a bit unkind.
"Recommended by the Awakened Persons Association of Jinghai Base City and approved by the Drug Development Committee, I am qualified. Isn't this the process?" Bai Xiaowen snorted softly.
The so-called Drug Development Committee is the abbreviation of the Chinese Pharmacy Development Committee. Except for the official people, those who join the Drug Development Committee are all well-known pharmacist masters.
"I'm asking you whose path you followed!" Zhu Chengjun said with a snort, "Just because of your so-called reputation as a pharmaceutical genius, the Drug Development Committee approved a half-year-old child like you to participate in exhibition competitions? This is not how to be embarrassed.
.”
Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly: "You are probably someone who wants to embarrass others but has no means."
"Nonsense!" Zhu Chengjun's face turned slightly red.
Bai Xiaowen sighed inwardly. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are also disputes and interests. The quota for this exhibition competition is a hot potato that can be pushed and pushed for the famous Four Xiaobais, but for Zhu Chengjun who has not yet become famous,
A pharmacist is a shortcut to fame.
The voice was slightly louder, and everyone else's eyes were directed towards him.
Zhu Chengjun raised his stubby eyebrows and said loudly: "Let me introduce to you, this is Bai Xiaowen, the pharmaceutical prodigy who has obtained the third qualification. It is said that he has studied this industry for less than a year..."
Among the people present, there were quite a few people like Zhu Chengjun who fought hard to get a spot.
In an instant, Bai Xiaowen became the target of public criticism, and whispers echoed in the venue.
There is no need to elaborate on the content of the discussion. Apart from doubts and conspiracy theories, the sentiment of disdain and I can do whatever I want dominated the mainstream.
Bai Xiaowen stood calmly, like a green pine. Seeing Ke Caijin's eyes also paying attention, he looked at each other calmly.
Ke Caijin nodded slightly as a greeting. He didn't pay attention to this young man when Qiao Rui and his party came just now, but he didn't expect that he was one of the participants in the young pharmacists exhibition competition like himself.
Ke Caijin is not as superficial as Zhu Chengjun.
Bai Xiaowen was able to obtain the signature and approval of the Drug Development Committee and get a quota, and he definitely did not get it through the back door. He knew the inside story. He knew exactly what this exhibition game meant to Qiao Xiangdong, the leader of the Drug Development Committee, and what it meant to the Qiao family.
Chu.
If the big boss Qiao Xiangdong hadn't spoken in person, Ke Caijin wouldn't have wanted to wade into this troubled waters...
Just as Ke Caijin's thoughts were spinning, Bai Xiaowen suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it time to add Kerela vine powder?"
Ke Caijin looked back at the beaker and shook his head: "It's not nearly done yet, please wait 10 more seconds."
"It should be fine according to the standard procedure, why do we have to wait longer?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Ke Caijin was a little confused, was the young man in front of him serious or joking? He actually asked such a superficial question.
The pharmacists around him laughed out loud.
"Standard procedure? If pharmaceuticals can be made according to the standard procedure, what do we pharmacists need to do?"
"The level of a pharmacist's apprenticeship cannot be higher."
"I don't even know how to use discretion. The purity of the krait blood in this material is too low. It needs to be simmered for a while to react perfectly with the Kerela vine!"
Ke Caijin shook some powder in and paid close attention to the boy's reaction. However, amidst the ridicule of a circle of people, Bai Xiaowen remained calm and composed.
Ke Caijin was a little unsure about Bai Xiaowen's background, but Zhu Chengjun seized the opportunity and sneered: "You'd better go home, prodigy. The pharmaceutical industry is not as simple as you think. Don't embarrass China at the conference...
…”
"Participating in exhibition matches is just to communicate with peers, there is no shame in it."
There was a cough, and a strong old man's voice came from the direction of the backyard.
Zhu Chengjun's expression changed. At this time, others, including Ke Caijin, greeted the old man one after another.
"Master Yang."
"Master, are you still teaching today?"
Bai Xiaowen took a look at the old man. He was wearing an ordinary gray tunic suit, with silver hair all over his head. He was energetic, but his cheeks were a little thin. Behind him, Qiao Rui and others followed.
"This person is the master of training and teaching, Yang Haogu..."
Bai Xiaowen muttered secretly in his heart.
Yang Haogu waved his hand: "Don't make any noise when the pharmacist is making medicine... Caijin, if you can't settle your mind, this material will probably be wasted."
Ke Caijin's face turned slightly red: "That's what the teacher said." He stopped talking and laughing with others, and seriously carried out the subsequent production of the potion.
The atmosphere in the venue was quiet for a while.
