I want to ask if I can learn pharmacy.
Chen Shu said with a solemn expression.
He actually wanted to learn pharmacy too. The potions of any beast tamer were incredibly expensive.
This was just a low-grade potion, only for contracted spirits from level one to three.
If it was a potion needed by a King-level beast tamer, how much would it be worth?
This was a path paved with gold!
"Get out of here."
The salesperson rolled his eyes and decisively turned to leave.
Damn it!
Chen Shu didn't expect to be looked down upon.
Could his question really be that stupid?
Chen Shu eventually wandered around the department store for a while, complained about the salesperson, and quietly left the shop.
Although he couldn't afford the potions, at least he managed to increase the slime's defense a bit.
It seemed he needed to go back and research potion knowledge.
After hundreds of years of development, humanity's pharmaceutical industry had become incredibly mature.
Chen Shu rode his bicycle towards home.
Just then, he suddenly heard a few women's cries.
"Help! Help!"
Chen Shu's gaze turned to the dark alley.
Using the dim streetlight, he could barely make out the situation inside.
He saw two men surrounding a woman, holding two gleaming fruit knives. They were clearly in the process of robbing her.
At the same time, three options appeared in his eyes.
[Option 1: Turn a blind eye and leave quickly. Reward: a small amount of beast taming power.]
[Option 2: Fear no evil, bravely step forward, and take down the two thugs. Reward: a large amount of beast taming power. Note: risk of life.]
[Option 3: Stop the thugs' actions. Reward: Skill Book: Giant Transformation!]
Chen Shu's thoughts raced, and he decisively chose the third option.
Chen Shu took a deep breath, held the handlebars with his right hand, pointed at the alley with his left, and roared.
"Stop! In broad daylight—cough cough, under the dark and windy night, you dare to break the law publicly! I, Zhang Dali, will never forgive you!!"
At this moment, Chen Shu seemed to have transformed into a justice crusader.
The streetlight cast a sacred aura upon him.
But the next instant,
He immediately put his left hand back on the handlebars, exerted force with both legs, and sped away as if riding a wind-fire wheel.
All that was left were the two dumbfounded thugs staring at his retreating back.
This smooth and seamless operation completely stunned them.
At the same time, from a distance, the sound of a vigorous song could be heard.
"Seeing injustice, I let out a roar, and after roaring, I continued on my way!"
"Is that guy sick?"
One of the thugs spoke, surprised that such a person existed.
He and his companion were stunned.
Just then, the woman in the alley suddenly pushed the two men away, ran into the distance, and dialed the police.
"Big brother, should we still chase?"
"Chase what? Didn't you see them calling the police? What bad luck today, meeting all sorts of people."
Chen Shu returned home, humming a hearty song.
Among the system's options just now, the third one was clearly the most advantageous.
The first was simple, but the reward was too little.
The second had good rewards but carried a risk to his life, which Chen Shu immediately passed on.
Although the third seemed extremely difficult, the system only said to stop them, not to succeed in stopping them.
After all, just shouting was equivalent to stopping them.
As expected, he successfully received the reward.
A golden skill book appeared in his hand, but he couldn't flip through it, only choose whether to use it.
In an instant, the skill book disappeared.
And a Giant Transformation skill was added to the Golden Slime's skill bar.
Giant Transformation: Temporarily increases own body size by two times, slightly reduces speed.
If used in conjunction with the Slime's Charge skill, it should now be able to charge enemies weighing twenty jin.
Although it didn't seem to have much effect, in reality, it indeed had little effect.
"Xiao Huang, when will you grow to several thousand jin?"
Chen Shu rubbed the slime and shook his head. The combat power of a level one contracted spirit was almost zero.
The next day, Chen Shu arrived at class with dark circles under his eyes.
After surfing the internet for most of the night, he finally had a basic understanding of pharmacy.
It was also a profession, and a highly respected one, known as an alchemist.
However, the first condition to become an alchemist was to obtain a graduation certificate from a top university's pharmacy major.
No wonder the salesperson last night had such a contemptuous look.
It seemed that practicing alchemy was not an option for him.
Just as Chen Shu was about to doze off, his homeroom teacher, Fang Ke, appeared at the doorway.
"Chen Shu, come to my office."
Chen Shu's spirits instantly lifted, and he went to the office.
"This is your result from yesterday!"
Fang Ke's usually kind face became extremely serious, even more imposing than "Black Whirlwind."
With a wave of his right hand, he tossed the test paper on the desk at Chen Shu.
Chen Shu was stunned and couldn't catch the paper.
He lowered his head to glance at the score on the paper and felt a sense of relief.
"Teacher, I admit I've been a bit distracted lately. I only scored ninety-one points. I'll work harder next time."
Chen Shu said with a well-behaved expression, making a solemn promise.
"That's sixteen points!"
Chen Shu lowered his head slightly, picked up the test paper, and indeed, he had read it upside down.
"Can you explain? Have you been playing with mud for the past two years of high school?"
Fang Ke looked extremely serious. Honestly, such a score had already exceeded his tolerance.
Chen Shu was ranked last in this test, while the second to last person scored over sixty points. The gap was too great.
Chen Shu's expression was blank, and options appeared in his eyes again.
[Option 1: Honestly admit mistakes and guarantee you can do better next time. Reward: cultivation speed doubled for three days.]
[Option 2: Solemnly tell Fang Ke: There is no mud in school. Reward: master the refinement of the Powerful Medicine, unlock elementary pharmaceutics.]
[Option 3: Apply for a re-examination to demonstrate consistent results. Reward: a moderate amount of beast taming power.]
He didn't expect Fang Ke's question to trigger a system option.
The first option was too simple and clearly didn't need consideration, and the reward seemed mediocre.
He had no cultivation talent, so doubling his cultivation efficiency was useless.
As for the rewards of the second and third options, they were very tempting.
A moderate amount of beast taming power would push his beast taming level to the peak of a level one beast tamer, although he would still be at the bottom of the beast taming class.
The second option, even more so, directly allowed him to master the refinement of the Powerful Medicine.
Chen Shu made up his mind and said with a serious expression: "There is no mud in school."
"What?" Fang Ke's expression slightly stiffened, and he immediately understood.
"Get out and copy the test paper ten times!"
He had never seen such a glib student who clearly didn't respect the teacher at all.
Chen Shu left the office with light steps, a smile on his lips.
Although he was reprimanded by Fang Ke a few times, he had already learned to refine the Powerful Medicine and had also unlocked the system's pharmaceutics.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Chen Shu walked along, grinning foolishly. He didn't look like a normal student at all.
Just then, a staggering figure rushed forward and collided head-on with the distracted Chen Shu.
