Chapter 108 Further Cultivation
"Wizard Serin, thank you for your kindness."
Jasmine's choice did not go beyond Link's expectations, and she declined Wizard Serin,
"But I feel that I still have many things to learn in my position as a shopping guide. In place, it is not suitable to switch to pre-processing and finishing of plants and herbs at this time."
After saying that, she waited for Wizard Serin's reply with some anxiety, not knowing whether her refusal would offend Wizard Serin.
Not only was Wizard Serin not displeased, but she was quite happy.
If a wizard, or a wizard apprentice, wants to achieve something, no matter how big or small the achievement is, he must first persist.
Wizard Seren doesn't value people who follow others' opinions, has no independent opinions, or easily submits to others, and he doesn't even like them.
"Well, that's good."
Wizard Serin nodded, with a pleasant expression on his face, and then walked away with the dinner plate.
When Jasmine saw this, the stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground, and she let out a sigh of relief.
She used to watch Link chatting and laughing with Wizard Serin, and she didn't think anything happened while watching. Now it was her turn to face Wizard Serin, so she could feel the pressure firsthand.
How to describe it?
It's like an ant standing in front of a giant. Even if he knows that the giant has no ill intentions towards him and even spreads food to him, he will instinctively be afraid of the giant.
Because the giant only needs to blow a gentle breath to kill the ants.
"Did I do something wrong?"
After thinking about it, Jasmine couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Link said nothing, just shook his head.
Being under the same roof as Wizard Serin, no matter how hard you lower your voice, it's useless.
You can still hear it if you should.
"That's good."
Jasmine let out a long breath, completely relieved.
After lunch, we continued our work.
Link was spinning back and forth between the two operations like a top, busy and fulfilled.
Until the sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows.
The day's work is finally over.
After changing out of their uniforms, Link and Jasmine walked out of the pharmacy and walked to the platform.
From a distance, Link saw five timid figures milling around the platform.
Like ants on a hot pot, panic is revealed.
"Is something wrong?"
Link approached the platform and the five gangsters, and asked with a smile.
"Brother... there's something... something's wrong."
For some reason, when the gangster leader saw Link these few times, his tongue would get knotted involuntarily and he stammered, "No... nothing's wrong, it's just... I'm with you. Explain what happened last time."
In the past two days, even though Link showed no signs of trouble with them, the five gangsters couldn't relax at all.
Forgive them for their lack of knowledge, but they didn't know about the press conference between Serin's Wizard Pharmacy and Lucia's Pharmacy until this morning.
I really don’t have the spare money to specifically purchase the account registration qualification for “Riversos Forum”.
I only found out about this after listening to other people chatting about the witch affirmative action, which was getting louder and louder.
The gangsters just don't have talent or strength, it's not that they don't have brains.
After thinking about it for a moment, the gangsters realized that they were being used to get involved in a fight between two bosses who were about to be promoted to sages.
This is actually nothing.
The terrible thing is that they directly provoked a gentle and ruthless person.
After thinking and thinking, the gangsters all felt the need to explain and apologize in person.
Lest this ruthless man deal with them in the future like he dealt with that idiot last time.
By then, they may not even know how they died.
"Oh, this is about it."
Link pondered for a while, and then said in a longer tone, "No need to explain, I don't take it to heart." "
Thank...thank you, brother."
The gangsters nodded again and again, their heads like tampering. Same as garlic.
"Yeah. From now on, keep your eyes open and don't accept any job."
Seeing that the rail transit train was about to enter the station, Link waved his hand, signaling the gangsters to leave on their own.
"Thank you, big brother, for your guidance. Thank you, big brother."
The gangsters nodded and bowed again, thanking them non-stop.
Link ignored the gangsters and boarded the train with Jasmine.
As soon as she sat down, Jasmine couldn't help but ask: "Link, what have you done? There are people inside and outside the academy who are afraid that you will become like this!"
Link was speechless.
really.
His image has become somewhat demonized without realizing it.
The five brothers in the academy and the five gangsters outside the academy were exactly the same from the way they behaved when facing Link.
Similar awe, almost panic.
There are some differences inside.
The five brothers are just used to this style of work, while the five gangsters have to behave with their tail between their legs.
After thinking about it, Link could only say: "It's not that exaggerated."
Jasmine curled her lips, complaining in her heart.
It’s not that exaggerated!
Look at you, Mina Haverchuk is so scared that she doesn’t even dare to compete with you!
Well... Ella told Jasmine about this.
Not to mention others.
Many times, Jasmine would feel that if she hadn't been clinging to Link, he would have always acted alone and never socialized.
Let’s not think about these things for now, let’s leave it at that.
Jasmine put her head back, leaning against the carriage body, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Back at the academy, I dealt with my stomach in the cafeteria.
The two of them rushed to the laboratory building without stopping.
The third underground floor, laboratory.
Link entered some of the techniques, methods and experiences of pre-processing plants and herbs that he had summarized into an intelligent simulation device in the laboratory, and taught Jasmine one by one.
This is an extremely efficient way of learning for Jasmine.
For Link, there is no time wasted.
Learn something new by reviewing the past.
After finishing teaching, Link went to read the information in the advanced literature library.
Jasmine kept working on the smart simulation device.
Wearing a pair of glasses, she put on a pair of gloves that were so thin that they were almost transparent but full of "sensors" on her hands. She practiced the pretreatment of plants and herbs out of thin air according to the tutorial.
The glasses can give an almost real visual feedback, the gloves can give an almost real touch, and combined with the alchemy talisman array of the intelligent simulation device, except that there is no real object, the working status of Jasmine and Link is the same.
Late at night, both of them left the laboratory with full harvest.
Jasmine had accumulated some experience in the pretreatment of plants and herbs, while Link found two pieces of information about the competition between the two regions in previous years on the "credits" redemption page.
It took 2 "credits" to redeem two pieces of information.
After Link read it carefully, his understanding of the competition between the two districts improved a lot.
At the beginning, there was no such thing as a two-district competition in the college, and even the junior college did not separate the southern and northern districts.
Later, the local apprentices became more and more discriminatory and excluded the new blood of Storm Sea.
Some of the new blood of Storm Sea are extremely unsatisfactory. Not only do they have weak knees, but they also don't allow others to stand.
Another part of the hard-boned new blood of Storm Sea couldn't bear it anymore and began to fight.
There are constant conflicts between several groups, fights occur frequently, and bloodshed is not uncommon.
The college management had no choice but to separate the south and north districts.
The control of level 0 witchcraft also started at that time, gradually reducing the number of offensive witchcraft in the witchcraft trading center.
It is better to block than to open up.
In order to prevent the confrontation between the South and North districts from going to extremes and to have a platform and channel to vent their opposing emotions, the competition between the two districts came into being.
Competitions come in various forms and are randomly selected, making them difficult to predict, so it is difficult to prepare in advance.
This is fair and unfair to the new blood of the South Side.
The fair point is that no one participating can know the specific information before the competition begins.
The unfair point is that the conditions of local apprentices in the North District are much better than those of the new blood in the South District.
Even if they cannot make targeted preparations in advance, in terms of overall quality, the North District apprentices have a lot of advantages.
This is like children in remote mountainous areas who can only learn textbook knowledge.
Children in big cities can develop various interests and hobbies and develop various specialties.
The situation is serious and not optimistic.
Even if Link has the help of the system, an "Occlumency" and four talents, he is not necessarily stronger than the best apprentices in the North District.
Super geniuses are never in short supply.
When I returned to the dormitory, I did nothing else but wash up, meditate, and sleep.
The next day.
Go to work as usual, calm and uneventful.
The next day, it was still calm.
For four days, there were no special changes in my life.
Except that the Witches Equality Movement managed to hold a march that could be both a success and a failure.
Said to be a success, the parade only circled around the East District, and the only people participating in the parade were a group of apprentices;
Calling it a failure, the march caused an uproar on the "River South Forum", with heated discussions and quarrels.
Link watched with cold eyes, thinking that as long as the academy gave an order, the equal rights for witches that were becoming more and more farcical might disappear overnight.
Those third-level witches who have made high-profile appearances in the past few days should have almost achieved their goals.
Equal rights?
That's not what they want.
What they want is certain privileges!
Don't think too much about these things.
Link felt that it was too far away from him, so he had better live every day in a down-to-earth manner.
Peace is always meant to be broken.
This day is Wednesday of the sixth week of the holiday.
"Don't rush to do anything, come here first."
Wizard Serin specifically stopped Link after saying hello, and was about to dive into the two operation rooms in the backyard.
"What are your orders, Wizard Seren?"
Link asked as he stepped back toward the backyard.
"Someone will take over your job today. You will hand it over to him in the morning and leave everything to him in the afternoon. Come to the second floor."
Wizard Serin said calmly.
"Thank you, Wizard Seren!"
Link immediately thanked him loudly without thinking about it.
This is a very good thing!
The second floor is the exclusive area for Wizard Serin, where all special potions are refined.
Among all the store clerks, except for Tina, who serves as a potion packaging assistant and is about to become a potion refining assistant, the other two have never been there.
The hidden meaning of Wizard Serin's words was to give Link a chance to see serious potion refining.
Like the Hemerocallis fulva series developed by Link before, that is called potion research and development, and potion refining are two different things.
There is a big difference between the finished product that is mass-produced and sold to the outside world and the sample that Link took out.
This is proper cultivation!
