Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, after signing, the chairman took out another contract. Xu Jiawei was a little puzzled. What else needed to be signed?

Xu Jiawei was even more surprised after she read the contents of the contract.

This is a special agreement, serving as a supplement to the previous contract.

The content states that if the prescription provider voluntarily waives the copyright fee, then the user will not need to pay the copyright fee.

However, Xu Jiawei also needs to grant the copyright holders of the pet breakthrough potion to the drug providers.

Why should the potion formula provider waive her copyright? It's not worth exchanging four copies for one.

Could it be that...?

"President, were these recipes provided by my teacher?"

The president nodded: "I didn't expect you to guess it. According to Grace's idea, you don't need to sign a contract, but for the sake of legitimacy, the association still needs you to sign it."

Originally, Grace said that after Xu Jiawei finished her exams, she would have the president give Xu Jiawei the formulas she provided, but for safety reasons, the association still signed a contract.

After Xu Jiawei finished signing, the president took out a large stack of recipes and handed them to her. There were about a dozen of them, all provided by Grace.

So why did she work so hard just now? She should have just chosen a few easy recipes to take the exam.

However, Xu Jiawei thought that the formula was not provided by Grace alone. What if the formula she needed was not provided by Grace? Wouldn't she miss out?

This time it was just luck; all four recipes she happened to choose were provided by Grace, so she can't just say it now.

Grace provided fifteen or sixteen recipes by herself, which took a lot of effort.

After receiving the formula, Xu Jiawei was still somewhat dazed when she heard the president say, "Master Xu, the remaining prescriptions were provided by the association. If needed, you can exchange them for gold coins; no copyright fee is required."

However, the price of the formula is beyond the reach of most people.

Buying the formula means acquiring the right to sell it, and you can keep whatever profits you make without having to pay copyright fees.

Xu Jiawei nodded, then, dragging her tired spirit, she took out the medicine tray and rolled the ointment into pills.

This is a great item; the official team should really like it. We can sell it to them or to Jin Jian.

Even several vice presidents came to help. After cleaning up the liquid, the president took her to his office. Once inside, she immediately found a place to sit down. She was exhausted; the final formula was just too much work.

"Knock knock knock," came the sound of knocking on the door. Xu Jiawei looked back and saw that it was the receptionist. When she saw Xu Jiawei, her eyes lit up for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something and immediately looked at the president, as if it was something urgent.

The chairman asked, "Is there something you need?"

The receptionist hesitated for a moment before saying, "President, Master Fei wants to retake the Level 9 Pharmacist exam and also inquire about the Level 10 Pharmacist exam."

Xu Jiawei was somewhat surprised. Master Fei, isn't this the royal pharmacist who had a conflict with her over the pink powder? In the end, he even paid the association a large sum of money. Wasn't he already a level nine pharmacist? Why is he taking the exam again?

The president seemed to see Xu Jiawei's doubts, so he said, "Because the previous exams were not standardized, we are preparing to have the level nine pharmacists retake the exams to test their skills."

To this end, the association released the news that it had acquired 20 new exam prescriptions and claimed that they could be used freely as long as a copyright fee was paid, which attracted many Level 9 pharmacists to retake the exam.

The chairman continued, "This guy was probably attracted by the formula."

However, the pass rate was alarmingly low. Only a little over 100 people passed out of more than a thousand exams, which scared off even the level nine pharmacists. As a result, no one came after just a few days.

The president plans to have all level nine pharmacists retake the exam. If they don't come, it's fine; a message will be sent out after a while, requiring all level nine pharmacists to take the exam and receive new badges. Those who don't retake the exam will have their old badges invalidated after six months.

Of course, we are still in the promotion stage, so we can't do it this way yet; we need to proceed step by step.

Now, everyone who passes the exam has a new badge, and even the teleportation array inside has been enhanced. The materials have also been changed to better ones, making people feel that the new level nine pharmacists are better than the previous ones, thus attracting people to take the new level nine exam.

"Since he's here, let's test him out. Schedule him for two hours from now." Why two hours later? Because two hours is just enough time for Xu Jiawei to make her badge, which she can then use to slap him in the face.

"Master Xu, would you be interested in becoming an examiner?" the president asked with a smile.

Xu Jiawei thought about how she had a grudge against Master Fei, and decided that going to proctor the exam would be a good way to disgust him. She really wanted to see his shocked face. He had threatened her with his status as a level nine pharmacist before, and even brought royal bodyguards to attack her. Now that she had a chance for revenge, why not take it?

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen Master Fei. I'll go say hello." After saying that, Xu Jiawei sat down in the chair.

The president urged them to hurry up and make the badge. It took two hours to engrave a name. It's like going back to the old days.

The new badges need to be bound, just like magical artifacts in cultivation novels recognize their owners, so the new badges all have the alchemist's name engraved on their outer wall.

An hour and a half later, after the president kept urging her, the badge finally arrived. When Xu Jiawei took the badge, the system actually gave her a notification.

[Ding! Player has found a bindable piece of equipment. Bind it?]

Xu Jiawei clicked "yes" and then felt a subtle connection with the badge.

Once bound, it means it can't be taken away by others, and even if she dies, the equipment will be automatically destroyed.

He handed the old badge to the president. The new badge was a luxurious deep purple with gold trim, very elegant and eye-catching.

It was probably done on purpose, mainly to make it eye-catching. In the past, badges hung on clothes and were barely noticeable unless you looked closely; they were very inconspicuous.

The association really went to great lengths to attract people to take the assessment.

After Xu Jiawei hung up the badge, the president stood up and said with a smile, "The exam is about to start. Let's go to the exam room and wait."

When they arrived at the examination room again, Xu Jiawei was now sitting behind the glass. After Xu Jiawei arrived, the vice president and his entourage also arrived, and the vice president greeted them with a smile.

"Master Xu is here to proctor the exam too! Welcome, welcome!"

"Well, the president asked me to come and keep an eye on things." Xu Jiawei didn't explain, but the others understood. They knew that Xu Jiawei had a big conflict with this candidate before. The incident caused a great uproar, and even the royal family had to personally apologize to the Pharmacist Association.

It's common knowledge.

"Master Xu, would you be interested in becoming the vice president of the association?" the vice president asked. She was tired of this life and wanted to resign and become a leisurely expatriate elder like Grace.

Xu Jiawei immediately replied, "I'm sorry, Vice President, as a player I don't have time to handle association affairs, so I cannot become Vice President."

"That's such a pity," the vice president sighed.

The president smiled and said, "Although I can't be the vice president, it would be too embarrassing for a level nine pharmacist to be without a position. Why don't you become an outpost elder like your teacher? You don't need to go on missions, but you might need to come back for important matters."

"But don't rush, think about it first."
