The next afternoon, Zhou Jing took the initiative to invite Mali to go out for a meal.
Mali originally had the plan to drag the word, thinking about making Zhou Jing's money with one hammer sale, and then everyone broke up.
To be honest, a little surprised, flattered.
Which of the apprentices I taught in the past didn't end in anger and broke up unhappily. If it wasn't for staying in the fire area with good security, and only pitting strangers with no foundation, Mali would have been sacked long ago.
He didn't expect that with his own virtue, he would be able to enjoy this kind of treatment one day... His self-awareness is still very clear.
Anyway, someone treats guests, and they don't eat for nothing, so Marisuo closed the shop and went to a well-known local tavern with Zhou Jing.
The two ordered a lot of dishes, kept refilling drinks, and drank while eating, and soon Mali became a little confused.
"Bill" was not too physically fit and was still awake. Seeing that Mali was almost drunk, Zhou Jing asked him about the formula.
Mali was instinctively vigilant all of a sudden, prevaricate and perfunctory, and did not reveal his tone at all,
Even if he is drunk, his psychological defense is still strong, he is stingy, and he sneers secretly.
Small sample, it turned out that I wanted to set my recipe, so I invited me to dinner, hum, don't even think about it...
Although the formulas that Mali has mastered are all common potions, and he knows a lot of pharmacists, he just doesn't want to give them unless he has real money.
Seeing that Mali was tight-lipped, Zhou Jing didn't ask any more, and continued to pour alcohol into Mali, paying generously, making the other party elated.
It was only when the night was close to curfew that Zhou Jing helped the drunk Mali out of the tavern.
"Where is your home, I'll take you back."
Zhou Jing asked in a low voice.
After studying with this man for a month, Mali has never invited the apprentice to his home once, and he has to inquire about it himself.
Mali was shaking when he walked, so he had no choice but to accept Zhou Jing's support.
The two walked through the winding alley, and soon came to a small house. Mali took out the key to open the door, and then suddenly held the door frame to block the way, not intending to invite Zhou Jing in.
"I'm here, you can go back by yourself." Mali said with a big tongue.
"it is good."
Zhou Jing nodded, suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulders, strode into the house against him, hooked the door with his feet, and closed it.
Mari was startled and tried to pull Zhou Jing's arm away with both hands, but he couldn't shake the seemingly thin arm, and panicked: "You... What are you doing? Hurry out, I'm going to call!"
After speaking, he made a gesture of shouting, trying to attract the guards patrolling the street.
However, the next moment, a large hand grabbed his neck, blocking his voice in his throat.
Zhou Jing lifted Mali with one hand and let his legs kick in the air.
"Don't shout, or my hand will shake and your neck will be broken."
Mari felt the tightening force on his neck, his face turned purple, and he quickly compromised like a quail.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing put him down and wiped the dust off Mali's clothes with a smile.
"Yes, cooperate obediently, it's good for you, I won't hurt you when I get what I want."
"You... don't mess around."
Mali immediately sobered up, his lips were trembling, and he was shaking like a sieve. Where is the previous air.
He didn't expect that this stinky out-of-towner would have the guts to robbery!
Mari couldn't help but touched the red-marked neck, flustered.
Why is this thin and weak guy so strong? !
Because of Jason's relationship, Mali was preconceived and felt that the Bill in front of him was a person with an "endorsement" and would not break the law easily, and he was a decent person anyway.
As long as you don't go too far, it will be economic disputes at most, and it will not escalate to violence.
After all, this is the capital, and imperial hunters have to abide by the rules. Zhou Jing knew a hunter just to make Mali feel troublesome, but he was not afraid... Who would be afraid of a group whose duty is to protect the people.
So Mali didn't expect Zhou Jing to dare to do such a thing, and now that Zhou Jing seems to be a villain, he is really afraid.
Zhou Jing dragged Mali around the room and made sure that there was only one person in the room, so he took Mali by the shoulders, hehe said:
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about the medicine formula in your hand, take it out and show it to me?"
"it is good… "
How dare Mari dare to say anything else, he took out a tattered notebook from the bookcase and handed it to Zhou Jing with trepidation.
Zhou Jing opened his eyes and saw that there were records of Mali's experience in making potions over the years, as well as an appendix of more than a dozen formulas.
Most of these formulas are common general medicines, such as healing potions, refreshing potions, insecticides, etc. In addition, there are two hunter potions, which are to improve cardiopulmonary function and reduce pain.
"Yo, you know quite a lot, no wonder you have to teach me." Zhou Jing read it carefully a few times, wrote it down silently, and then put the notebook back on the bookshelf.
Mali didn't dare to answer, and smiled embarrassingly.
"Okay, don't be so scared, I won't kill anyone casually." Zhou Jing patted him on the shoulder, hehe said, "Remember, today I'm just taking you home to take care of you who are drunk, and nothing else. Nothing happened." Gu
"understand… "
Of course Mari has no objection, nodding again and again.
Zhou Jing smacked his lips: "Even if you want to report the case, there is no evidence, and you hired me as an apprentice at an outrageous price. If others know that you have charged so much money, who do you think is more responsible?"
"I...I didn't think so."
"That's right, you cheated me a lot of money, since you really taught me, I won't ask you for this money, the potions I made these days are also yours, you still earn If you don’t know how to be satisfied and want to make trouble, I may be unlucky, but you will definitely understand the value of life.”
Hearing this, Mali calmed down a bit, and suddenly realized that it made sense.
In essence, I still made money, but I couldn't catch another person.
Although the value of those formulas exceeded Zhou Jing's efforts in the past month, but being learned by others would not deprive him of the knowledge he had mastered, and there was not much substantial loss.
Seeing that Mali was at his heart, Zhou Jing patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, then threatened and warned him again, and then swaggered away.
Mary suddenly slumped on the chair, his chest heaving violently, his heart pounding, and he felt like he was walking around on the edge of death.
He couldn't help recalling the month of getting along. Zhou Jing acted like an obedient apprentice, which made him let go of his guard, and it was not until tonight that he showed his fierce side.
Knowing that a month ago, he should have been more resolute and shouted a higher price to scare this person away... Mali was annoyed, and only felt that he had led a wolf into the room.
Although depressed, the courage to regenerate trouble, he certainly did not.
Provoking this wicked person again will only bring bad luck. After admitting this loss, he can continue to enjoy life. Now Mali just wants to end the relationship quickly and stop getting involved with Zhou Jing.
…
The next day, the two met at the pharmacy again. Zhou Jing smiled, as if it were normal, as if nothing happened last night.
Mali's face was stiff, and he could only force a smile, not daring to treat Zhou Jing with the attitude he had before.
After spending a day in a strange atmosphere, Zhou Jing finally made a request to end the apprenticeship relationship. Mari felt as if he had been granted an amnesty, and couldn't wait to agree, so he almost chased people off with a broom.
Zhou Jing took the dog out of the pharmacy, and when he looked back, he saw Mali standing by the door watching.
Aware of Zhou Jing's gaze, Mali quickly shrank his head, not daring to look any further.
Zhou Jing retracted his gaze, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
His own level of pharmacy has reached Lv4 proficiency, plus more than a dozen formulas, he is already a qualified pharmacist, and it only took a month to complete it quickly, and the benefits of adding related qualifications are really amazing.
In fact, according to the normal way, it is difficult to learn more than a dozen formulas so quickly. Even if the learning efficiency is high, normal pharmacists teach apprentices. Without a long inspection period, it is impossible to easily teach all formulas, at least one or two years. Only a dozen of them can be learned, and he doesn't want to wait so long.
It is not suitable for normal teachers to do things that are not suitable, even for people like Mali, Zhou Jing's methods are not too violent. Although they charge money, the teaching is true.
Just use force, save the twists and turns of the normal way, quickly get the knowledge you want, and nothing else will do with Mali. In the world of alien beasts, fists are more realistic and the most convenient.
"I already have the level of a pharmacist, and now I shouldn't be turned away from the Imperial Workshop."
Zhou Jing walked on the street for a while, and then quickly turned to the office of the Empire Workshop, which was his goal, the gathering place for the "high-end technology" of the entire Terra Empire.
…
At the same time, somewhere in the royal palace.
Roman strolls through the garden.
A confidant followed him and whispered:
"...The tribal lords from all over the country have replied, and plans can be implemented at any time as long as there is a need."
Roman nodded, picked a leaf from the grass by the roadside, flipped it between his fingers, and said casually: "Let them wait, the time is not ripe, it is not a good opportunity to tear their faces, the empire now has the energy to send troops to crusade."
The confidant nodded and said, "There is one more thing. Recently, the people we placed in the Empire Workshop have heard news that they seem to have made new progress in the research and development of the special abilities of alien beasts."
Roman's footsteps paused: "Oh?"
"Imperial Workshop has been researching a special kind of alien beast equipment, trying to use the special abilities of alien beasts. It seems that a semi-finished product has been made recently. People from the Tarn royal family went to see it in person and blocked the news... We only heard about it. , they named this equipment the Miracle Armament."
"I want to know the details, let me know." Roman's tone was unquestionable.
"clear."
Roman paused, seemed to remember something, and asked again, "How is the progress of the Imperial Workshop on the research and development of the special alien blood medicine?"
"This has not made progress. It has never been able to overcome technical difficulties, and it is impossible to inherit the special abilities of alien beasts through alien blood medicine."
"Well, keep watching, and let me know as soon as they make progress... Especially to find out which craftsman is driving the progress, this is talent."
Roman said slowly.
At this moment, at the other end of the garden path, a few young men and women with exquisite clothes and extravagance came, laughing and playing.
"A direct blood relative of the Tarn royal family."
Roman secretly made a gesture to make his confidant retreat.
Immediately afterwards, he controlled the fat on his face, showed a friendly smile that could not be faulted, and greeted him with a smile.
After three sentences, Roman naturally merged into the young Tarn royal family, chatted happily, and was quite popular.
