Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 8: Pharmacist Apprentice

Nadi clapped his hands happily as he watched Xiao Hei jumping up and down and beating the wild wolf that bullied him.

Just when Su Ming thought he could deal with these three elite wild wolves stably, an accident happened.

Maybe it was because Xiao Hei jumped too many times. The pine tree broke with a snap, and Nadi and Xiao Hei on it slid down one after another. The elite wolf finally got the chance and ran over quickly.

"Xiao Hei, protect Nadi!" Su Ming's reaction was not slow either. When the elite wolf was about to attack Nadi, he released a "scold".

The wolf that was hit by the scolding turned around.

Xiao Hei used the broken branches to gain strength in the air and landed earlier than Nadi, stopping another elite wolf.

The elite wolf immediately slapped the black slime.

While Xiao Hei was fighting with the elite wild wolf, Su Ming rushed to the battlefield and led away the elite wild wolf that had recovered from its state of fear.

The two elite wolves finally managed to hit their opponents, but because their health was too low, they were killed by Su Ming and Xiao Hei before they could even hit them a few times.

Three elite wild wolves dropped 6 silver coins and a piece of equipment emitting green light.

Su Ming went forward to pick it up and check its properties.

Wolf Bone Wand (LV5, Bronze):

+10~15 Magic Attack Power

+6 spirit
Occupational requirements: Summoner, Tamer.

"I'm so lucky, this is the equipment I can use."

After changing to a bone-shaped magic wand, Su Ming threw the novice magic wand in his hand to Xiao Hei to digest.

System: Your pet Xiao Hei devoured a piece of equipment and increased its health by 200 points.

After level 5, Xiao Hei gains more attributes after devouring equipment.

After Xiao Hei swallowed the Novice Magic Wand, he looked eagerly at the Wolf Bone Magic Wand in Su Ming's hand. Su Ming touched Xiao Hei's head and said:

"I can't give you this equipment now. I'll give it to you when I have a new weapon and it's eliminated."

At this time, Nadi came over, thanked Su Ming and asked:

"Brother, why did you come to see me?"

"Uncle Python asked you to come home for dinner, so he asked me to come look for you. The fat guy from the blacksmith's house told me that you might be in the back hills, so I came here to look for you."

Nadi patted his chest with lingering fear:
"I'm really lucky. Fortunately, I told Fatty that I would come to look for the bracelet my mother gave me."

"Did you find it?" Su Ming asked.

"I did find it, but..." Nadi sighed and continued, "The bracelet was put on a white snake. I discovered it when I took it off. In order to avoid the poisonous snake, it accidentally rolled into the valley. Now the white snake should have disappeared. Brother, can you help me find it?"

Su Ming had fallen into a trap with this kind of hidden object quest before. At first, he accepted all quests in order to level up quickly. Later, he was assigned a quest from a little girl and had to help her find a cat, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

If the task time limit is exceeded, the experience reward will be deducted. If the time limit continues to be exceeded, the reward will continue to be deducted.

Finally, Su Ming looked for other players in the Novice Village and asked them for help in finding a guide, and only then did he find the cat in the chimney.

After completing the task, I only got a silver coin as a reward, which means I worked for half a day in vain.

"I'll help you check when I'm out on an adventure, but I can't guarantee that I can find it for you," Su Ming replied.

This answer was ambiguous, so the system did not give any prompt that the task had been received.

You don't have to take many quests deliberately. When you pick up or get similar quest items while adventuring in the wild, you can check the guide and go directly to the corresponding NPC to hand in the quest items. You can get rewards without any cause or effect.

So when Su Ming finds the bracelet later, he can give it directly to Nadi, which will trigger the task.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother. I can't find it myself." Nadi said a little depressed.

"Okay, now I'll take you home."

"Brother, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Tell me."

"Don't tell my dad that I lost my mom's bracelet, or I'll be beaten to death."

"That's it. No problem. I won't tell you."

----

After returning to the village, Python met Nadi and asked him what had happened. He knew everything except the reason why Nadi fell into the valley.

After checking Nadi's body and making sure he was not injured, Python scolded Nadi severely and said that if he didn't come back for dinner after mealtime, he would be beaten with a stick.

After Nadi lowered his head and accepted the scolding, he went back to the house to eat.

Su Ming completed the task, received the experience reward, and was about to leave when Pai Sen stopped him.

"Thank you so much this time. I didn't expect Nadi to be in such great danger. If you hadn't found Nadi in time..."

Parson's wife died a long time ago, and he loved Nadi very much. Thinking of the terrible consequences, he did not continue. He changed the subject and said:

"You've been helping out at the pharmacy. Have you ever thought about becoming a pharmacist? I can give you some pointers if you'd like."

In "Fate", if you are not a dedicated life profession player, if you want to be employed in a life profession you need to find the corresponding NPC to carry out tedious employment tasks. Usually, you will be an apprentice to the NPC, running errands and collecting things, which is time-consuming.

Moreover, you can't just become an apprentice if you want to. If you want to trigger a task, you have to improve the favorability of the corresponding NPC, which is even more time-consuming.

Therefore, if you want to experience the life profession, it is usually made clear when creating the character card, so that you can become a life profession player when entering the game.

Compared to the difficulties encountered by combat professions in becoming life professions, it is much easier for life players to become combat players. After all, this is a world dominated by combat, and there are many more combat NPCs than life NPCs.

Su Ming unknowingly met the requirements for a career in life.

Su Ming heard that players could open a shop in the game. Potions were consumables, so they would definitely have no problem selling them. It should be a lucrative career, so he accepted Paisen's advice.

System: You have been instructed by Paison, the owner of the pharmacy in Novice Village No. 777, and have become an apprentice pharmacist.

"In this case, you are also my apprentice. Although I am only a novice in the field of potions, I will help you grow as soon as possible." Pai Sen opened the counter drawer and took out a yellowed paper and gave it to Su Ming: "This is the potion formula I got when I was young. This formula contains many basic techniques that can help pharmacists grow faster. Take it and write it down."

The paper fell into Su Ming's hands.

Primary magic potion recipe: After using it, you can master the method of making primary magic potion.

After Su Ming used it, a light flashed on the withered yellow paper, and a new skill "Make Primary Magic Potion" appeared in his life occupation skill column.

Paison took the blueprint away and said:

"It seems that you have remembered that the main material needed to make primary magic potion is moonlight grass, which can be found in the snake cave in the back mountain. Go and collect some. It will consume a lot of materials at the beginning, so collect more and come back."

Su Ming nodded and asked:
"So we don't need to collect the hemostatic grass anymore?"

"No need, just concentrate on collecting moonlight grass."

The task "Collecting Hemostatic Grass (0/10)" in Su Ming's task bar disappeared, and was replaced by the task "Collecting Moonlight Grass (0/100)".

The mission experience is ten times what it was before, the monetary reward has disappeared, and some time spent on running errands has been saved.
