Chapter 13

Bai Xiaowen sat on the high stool and closed his eyes for a minute. After going through Sun Hecheng's preparation steps in his mind, he opened his eyes and began to prepare the potion.

However, this time, Bai Xiaowen did not completely "copy" Sun Hecheng's steps in the preparation of the potion.

Although the success rate of "copy" was high, Bai Xiaowen wanted to learn more, so he had to follow his own understanding of the preparation steps.

Now that he had a teacher like Sun Hecheng by his side to guide him, he would have more opportunities to discover problems through his own understanding of the potion.

Sun Hecheng nodded slightly as he watched Bai Xiaowen weigh the herbs methodically and make the initial preparations. He realized that Bai Xiaowen was very talented. He had only demonstrated it once, but when Bai Xiaowen did it again, he remembered every step. The proportion formula and the weight of the herbs were all done very well.

Sun Hecheng was amazed and thought of Bai Xiaowen's previous performance. As an assistant, no matter what kind of formula it was, as long as Bai Xiaowen had already concocted it once, he would be able to remember every step from the second attempt without missing a single detail, no matter what kind of formula it was.

Smart, rigorous, practical …

With these advantages, a young man was simply a natural-born pharmacist.

Sun Hecheng could not help but feel a sense of appreciation for talent.

And this feeling of appreciation for talent turned into shock after Bai Xiaowen successfully prepared the Bull's Strength Potion.

"Master Sun, I succeeded."

Bai Xiaowen exhaled. He had followed his own understanding of the preparation steps. It was unexpected that he could succeed.

However, this was a low-level combat potion after all. The process was relatively simple. If it was a complicated strengthening potion, it would be impossible for Bai Xiaowen to successfully prepare it based on his own understanding. He would have to use "copy".

"Have you prepared the Bull's Strength Potion before?" Sun Hecheng suppressed his surprise and asked.

"No."

"You succeeded on your first attempt …" Sun Hecheng smiled bitterly. "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I really don't know what to say. "

Bai Xiaowen laughed. "Master has taught me well."

"Bai Xiaowen, have you ever thought of becoming a professional pharmacist?" Sun Hecheng put on a serious expression. Coupled with his square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked like a scene from an anti-Japanese war drama.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "I want to be an Awakened. I'm also willing to learn about pharmacology, but it won't be my main profession. "

"Sigh, what's so good about being an Awakened? Pharmacists are the right path. If you can reach the level of our old store manager, many hunters will be begging you. "Sun Hecheng was a little disappointed." It's a waste of talent for you to be a hunter. "

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Master Sun, I'm only a high school student now. It won't be too late to consider becoming a professional pharmacist after I finish college."

Sun Hecheng was reminded of Bai Xiaowen's age.

"She's only 17 years old. She's not an adult yet …"

Sun Hecheng couldn't help but recall the first time he successfully concocted a potion. How old was he?

Thinking of this, Sun Hecheng's interest waned.

"What a pity. If you're willing to be a professional pharmacist, the store will immediately sign a contract with you. With your intelligence, it won't take long for you to be like Zheng Li and have your own potion making room. "Sun Hecheng said.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said with a smile, "I still think it's better to be a part-time assistant under Master Sun."

If it was when he had just transmigrated, Bai Xiaowen might have been overjoyed by a pharmacist contract. But after half a month of settling down, Bai Xiaowen already knew his ability.

The world of the Awakened, the dangerous wilderness, the rich and mysterious spiritual world, was Bai Xiaowen's true path. Compared to the excitement of the Awakened, the ten square meter potion making room was too small. Even if he could earn a lot of money, what was the point of spending his life here?

Sun Hecheng poured the liquid from the beaker into a bottle, carefully sealed it, and handed it to Bai Xiaowen.

"Take it as a souvenir." Sun Hecheng smiled.

Bai Xiaowen took the bottle of potion. Actually, the first bottle of potion he made was the strengthening potion that he drank a long time ago. But Bai Xiaowen naturally wouldn't say that.

"These few days, my production tasks aren't that heavy, so I have a lot of free time. You should first finish reading this' Introduction to Pharmacists' book. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime. "Sun Hecheng took out a thick book from the drawer and handed it to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen took the book and sincerely thanked Sun Hecheng. This pharmacist who seemed like an underground party member was indeed a good person.

… …

Three days passed quickly.

In these three days, Bai Xiaowen learned two more strengthening potion formulas. One of them was the strength-type strengthening potion "Gargoyle's Strength", the other was the agility-type strengthening potion "Zergling Speed"!

Bai Xiaowen collected the medicinal dregs and successfully made two bottles of strengthening potion: Zergling Speed.

Bai Xiaowen drank one bottle. With his high 7.9 spirit, he endured the side effects of the potion and succeeded in his second strengthening. His Dexterity had increased by 2.1, doubling it to 4.2! However, he could faintly feel that he was at his limit. If he were to carry out the third strengthening, the failure rate would definitely be above 90%!

His total attributes had reached a high of 18.7, less than 2 points away from the threshold of an Awakened.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Xiaowen also raised his Basic Combat to level 3 in one fell swoop.

The only shortcoming was that his Vitality wasn't strengthened. With only 2.1 Vitality, this meant that Bai Xiaowen's Vitality was very poor, and his ability to resist attacks was also very weak.

Bai Xiaowen didn't think that 18.7 Vitality was very powerful, because 7.9 was an exaggeration. To be honest, Vitality was far less useful than Strength, Agility, and Vitality in actual combat.

"Attention all students of Class 17. Start boarding now. We will depart in fifteen minutes!" The voice of the fat homeroom teacher, Xiao Jinsheng, came from the loudspeaker, interrupting Bai Xiaowen's thoughts.

The students split up and walked towards the two buses.

Bai Xiaowen saw Zhou Yi, as well as the timid and lovable Wu Xiaoyan beside him.

Zhou Yi fell behind the other students and sneered at Bai Xiaowen, making a throat-slitting gesture. Wu Xiaoyan's face was a little pale, and she urged Zhou Yi to get on the bus.

"This idiot, isn't his IQ a little lacking?" Bai Xiaowen didn't hold back and returned the middle finger.

A dog that bites doesn't bark. Threatening and intimidating like Zhou Yi was not only meaningless, but also made people more vigilant. Seeing Zhou Yi, Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in terms of IQ.

However, in Zhou Yi's eyes, Bai Xiaowen was probably a rookie that could be easily defeated, so he looked down on him.

"The last time I used insight at the hospital, I saw that Zhou Yi's total attributes were 15.5! His Spirit is very low, and his Agility is average, but his Strength and Vitality are very high. Taking into account the difference in our fighting specialties, I don't have much of an advantage.

"However, I've already been reborn. I'm no longer a rookie that he can casually 'accidentally' kill. This time's field combat training … If there's a chance, humph!
