Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 19: An Unexpected Follow-up!
That's right, that's the real purpose of this spine!
Players cannot use it, and players cannot trade with it, but they can interact with NPCs! The quests in the beginner village are all interconnected! It's just waiting for someone who understands it!
"Raging War Tiger!?"

Exclamations erupted! But the players buying supplies seemed oblivious. Clearly, the prelude to the mission had begun, and all that remained was to trigger the correct mission. You heard right, the **correct** mission!

"You have something from the Fierce War Tiger?!" Xi'er, abandoning his scholarly composure, rushed out of the pharmacy, grabbed Ling Chuan's shoulder, and demanded, his eyes wide and his breathing rapid!

Ling Chuan was embarrassed, but he still smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, not only does it have one, but it's a complete spine!"

"Spine?! You actually have a complete spine of a Berserker Tiger?!"

Suddenly releasing Ling Chuan's shoulder, Xi Er said with disgust, "Impossible! How could someone with your strength have something like this? You're playing me!"

[Ding] System notification: Because Syl thinks you are playing a trick on him, he feels disgusted with you, and his favorability has decreased by [10%]. When your favorability with Syl falls below [-30%], all purchases from [Pharmacist Syl] will increase by an additional 20%!

Ignoring the system prompts, Ling Chuan remained calm, flipped his hand to take out the spine of the Ferocious Tiger King from his backpack, and smiled without saying a word.

"!"

"!!"

"!!!"

Staring intently at the tiger king's spine that shimmered with platinum light, Hill's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Trembling, he approached, scanning it from left to right and right to left dozens of times before exclaiming excitedly, "The spine of the raging tiger king! This is the spine of the raging tiger king! You actually possess such a peerless treasure!!"

As he spoke, Hill subconsciously reached out his hand. Seeing that the pharmacist Hill was about to touch his spine, Ling Chuan swiftly put it back in his backpack, revealing a kind smile, "Now do you believe me?"

Suddenly jolted back to reality, Pharmacist Siel felt as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Nodding, Hill realized his earlier doubt and rudeness and apologized, "I was mistaken just now, please don't take offense, warrior."

Ling Chuan shook his head. "No, your reaction is normal. With my abilities, no one would believe it."

"thank you for understanding."

[Ding] System notification: Your generosity has earned the gratitude of [Pharmacist Syle]. Pharmacist Syle's favorability towards you has increased by [20%]. Because [Pharmacist Syle] feels guilty about her doubts, her favorability has increased by an additional 100%.

[Ding] System notification: Because your affinity with Pharmacist Syl has reached 30%, the quest rewards you receive from Pharmacist Syl will be increased by 25%, and the price of potions will be reduced by 20%.

……

This time, Ling Chuan was no longer surprised by the increase in goodwill. After all, he had put in more effort in his communication skills than he had in his previous life. This was the kind of growth he had gained from long-term experience in social relationships.

Taking a deep breath, Pharmacist Hill's eyes flashed, and he spoke directly, "Warrior, would you mind giving me your spine? Of course, I won't take it for free!"

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on successfully triggering the hidden quest [Sil's Proposal] (Rank F). Deliver the [Raging Tiger King Spine] to Siel, and you will receive an unimaginable reward! Do you wish to accept?

Hidden quest, difficulty level F, rewards are prefixed with: beyond imagination, amazing, and three exclamation marks.

Without a doubt, this is a hidden quest with no difficulty, but the reward surpasses that of the S-rank [Gathering Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid]. Once you press confirm, both the experience and the reward will exceed common sense, because it rewards an additional secondary profession - Alchemist!

In the Divine Revelation Continent, there are numerous secondary professions! However, the most important are the following five pillars: Alchemist (refining potions), Blacksmith (forging and repairing weapons), Tailor (creating armor and armor), Appraiser (identifying equipment attributes), and Engineer (creating various offensive and defensive weapons). Others are more casual, such as fishing, gardening, and cooking. Regardless of whether you choose one of the five pillars or a more casual side profession, each person can only learn one secondary profession! This quest, however, is an incredible opportunity to acquire an extra secondary profession! Although this profession is fixed, it is the most profitable of the five pillars! Therefore, the reward for this quest is extremely valuable!!
But! This is a temptation! A trap that will make you miss out on even higher rewards! Why? Because it lacks that crucial prefix of "uniqueness." This means there's even greater potential to be explored in this task!

"I reject!"

Seeing Sylph's shocked expression, Ling Chuan decisively abandoned this almost free hidden mission.

"Why? You have no idea what I could give you."

As expected, Hill did not exit privacy mode because Ling Chuan gave up, but instead continued to press for answers!
Ling Chuan maintained a calm and polite smile, avoiding a direct answer, but instead proposed again, "Let's make a deal."

The initiative must always be firmly in one's own hands.

"trade?"

Unrestricted by the system, Hill frowned, as if deep in thought. Ling Chuan glanced at the twenty minutes of "solo activity time" that had passed and said bluntly, "Please rest assured, my requests will not be excessive. In fact, I will only add two extra requests to your original reward that will have no impact on you."

Siel gave Ling Chuan a deep look. Their eyes met, and with a 30% increase in favorability, Siel said seriously, "Tell me about it."

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on successfully triggering the unique hidden quest [Sil's Deal] (Rank A). Upon completion of the quest, you will receive the agreed-upon reward. If the quest fails, it will be permanently lost.

Triggered successfully! This is an A-level negotiation mission. It would be very difficult to complete if it were the first time, but unfortunately, it wasn't his first time.

With this thought in mind, he took out the spine of the raging tiger king again, because only when temptation and capital coexist can negotiations be successful.

“Pharmacist Sir, I know you have obtained a prescription and have completed the final step of research. What you are missing is this material with a strong and violent aura.”

"!"

"Don't be surprised. You're always holding that sheepskin prescription and talking about your research findings. Are you trying to cover it up?"

Upon hearing this, Hill's pupils, which had been contracting sharply, quickly cleared up. He stopped beating around the bush and decisively said, "State your request."

Ling Chuan didn't keep him in suspense and replied, "In addition to the agreed reward, I want one tube each of the semi-finished product and the finished product of this potion."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ling Chuan's request, Xi Er not only didn't hesitate at all, but instead asked curiously, "It is indeed an extra request that doesn't affect anything. I can give you the semi-finished product right now, but do you really trust me to be able to refine this potion into a finished product?"

Ling Chuan replied without hesitation, "It's not that I believe you, but that I know you can definitely master it."

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Hill seemed to transform into a different person, laughing loudly, "Fine! Based on what you said, I agree. But since it's a deal, I have a request. If you agree, I'll give you not only the vial of medicine, but also the entire prescription."

Ok?
Wait a minute! Up until this "agreement," everything was proceeding smoothly, but what is this turning point? There was no such follow-up in my previous life. Could it be another effect of the favorability rating?!

"What are your requirements?" Ling Chuan asked.

At this point, Hill paused to keep everyone in suspense, then smiled and said, "Give me your response first."

Is it still a gamble?

"I promise!"

Of course I'll agree! Missions of this level are basically all opportunities that follow!
"Very good! Become my apprentice!"

[Ding] System notification: [Pharmacist Xier] has sent you a mentor-apprentice request. Confirm if you agree, or refuse if you disagree.

"A request from master and disciple?"

Did such a system exist in a past life?
Blinking, with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, Ling Chuan slowly focused on the confirmation option. He glanced at Xi Er out of the corner of his eye and noticed that the other was completely absorbed in his own thoughts; clearly, if a choice wasn't made, there would be no further conversation. After hesitating for three seconds, Ling Chuan thought to himself, "I'll take the gamble!"

"Sure!"
