Two days after the assistant exam, the commotion in the pharmaceutical department gradually calmed down.
In Sun Hecheng's exclusive production room.
At night, the clock struck 9: 30 pm.
Sun Hecheng sealed the two bottles of concocted medicine and stored them in the safe. Beside him, Bai Xiaowen was helping to clean up the residue of the concocted medicine.
"You did a good job."
Sun Hecheng's praise was sincere. He originally thought that Bai Xiaowen would need some time to get used to it, but in just two days, he and Bai Xiaowen had an indescribable tacit understanding.
No matter how complicated the medicine was, as long as it had been concocted once, Bai Xiaowen would be able to prepare all the ingredients at the right time and place them at the most accessible location for Sun Hecheng.
He did not behave like a newbie, but more like an old assistant who had worked with him for many years.
Sun Hecheng recalled his previous assistant, Zheng Li. Zheng Li had been with him for five years before finishing his apprenticeship. He was considered an experienced assistant, but compared to Bai Xiaowen, he still lacked a little spirituality.
Bai Xiaowen smiled shyly. "Teacher Sun, you can go back first. I'll prepare the ingredients for tomorrow."
"You don't have to stay up too late. Just prepare the ingredients for tomorrow morning. I can take some time to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon and evening, "Sun Hecheng said. He did not forget that Bai Xiaowen was still a senior high school student.
After Sun Hecheng left, Bai Xiaowen closed the door of the production room and began to prepare the ingredients for the next day. Unlike what Sun Hecheng had said, Bai Xiaowen was preparing the ingredients for the entire day, so he was very fast.
Compared to other assistants, Bai Xiaowen's biggest advantage was that he was familiar with the concoction of concocting medicine. He did not need to rummage through the huge book to find the method to prepare the ingredients. In this way, Bai Xiaowen could make arrangements and prepare the ingredients that did not affect each other in the same batch, saving a lot of time.
In just an hour, Bai Xiaowen had prepared all the ingredients for the next day and completed the preparation.
Then, Bai Xiaowen's gaze turned to the test bench. He was a little excited.
"Whether or not we can make a comeback depends on this!"
The waste materials were carefully collected by Bai Xiaowen. Then, he used different methods of evaporation, extraction, screening, and so on to recycle them!
Under normal circumstances, these waste materials would be directly thrown into the trash. Because different medicinal powders were mixed together, it was difficult to determine the proportion of ingredients, so it could not be used to concoct new medicines.
However, with Bai Xiaowen's insight, he could clearly see the composition of the mixture and what kinds of drugs it contained. Combined with the knowledge that Bai Xiaowen had learned from the Pharmaceutical Encyclopedia, he could use the most suitable processing method to separate it again.
Bai Xiaowen separated these waste materials and extracted the medicinal powder for no other reason than to concoct medicine! Concocting a strengthening potion that could be consumed by himself!
Bai Xiaowen didn't want to steal the medicinal herbs in the store. Not to mention the strict regulations of the pharmaceutical department, Bai Xiaowen's conscience alone would not allow him to do so. On the other hand, if they were to use waste materials, they would not have so many scruples.
In the end, piles of medicinal powder of various colors were successfully separated!
Bai Xiaowen heaved a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes. Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes again. His gaze instantly became sharp and threatening, and his left eye even shot out a ray of red light.
Bai Xiaowen stood up. As if following a special path, he walked step by step to the front of the concoction table. His movements were mechanical and precise, just like a robot carrying out a precise operation. There was not the slightest error!
If Sun Hecheng were here, he would definitely be shocked. Because Bai Xiaowen's movements were practically a "copy" of his concoction process!
What kind of abnormal memory was that?! Reading ten lines at a glance, retentive memory, they were all weak.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiaowen sat on a chair, looking exhausted. On the test tube rack in front of him, there was a tube of medicine, emitting an intoxicating red halo.
Strengthening Potion: Ruby Strength
Grade: Stage One, Level 8
Purity: 67% (Pass)
Ingredients: Clematis vine 2.56%, Fuluo pollen 4.41%, Full moon leaf 4.72%, ground dragon blood crystal powder 7.81% Effect: Permanently increases strength by 4 points.
"Strengthening Potion: Ruby Strength! Effect: Permanently increases strength by 4 points. If placed in the sales hall, it can be sold for at least 2 million! Although 67% purity is a little low, it is made from medicinal waste materials. It is normal for there to be impurities. "
Bai Xiaowen closed his eyes, and a strong sense of pride welled up in his heart.
Who could turn a pile of waste materials into treasure and make a strengthening potion worth millions? Even an advanced pharmacologist without insight would not be able to do it!
Two messages were transmitted to Bai Xiaowen's mind.
"Secondary profession: Pharmacologist activated. Current level: Pharmacologist Level 1. "
"Your Spirit has increased by 3 points."
The two notifications brought Bai Xiaowen back to his senses and opened his eyes. He silently opened his personal panel and found that there was an additional "profession" column. There was only one secondary profession: Pharmacologist Level 1.
According to Bai Xiaowen's understanding, Pharmacologists were divided into 10 levels.
Level 1 to 3 were beginner Pharmacologists, Level 4 to 6 were intermediate Pharmacologists, and Level 7 to 10 were advanced Pharmacologists. For every level up, large amounts of potions were needed to increase proficiency. The higher the grade of the potion, the faster the proficiency.
In his personal attributes, Bai Xiaowen saw that his Spirit had increased to 7.9. It was higher than his Strength, Dexterity, and Vitality combined!
Should he drink this strengthening potion now?
Bai Xiaowen was a little conflicted. He had already understood that strengthening potions could increase a person's attributes quickly, but there were many side effects.
The strengthening potion would bring about intense pain as if the body was being torn apart. Those with weak Spirit would fall into a coma and fail the strengthening process!
Moreover, as the number of strengthening potions consumed increased, the intensity of the pain would also multiply. For example, if the pain level of the first strengthening potion was 1, then the pain level of the second bottle would be 2, and the third bottle would be 4 … and so on.
Therefore, the success rate of the first strengthening potion was the highest. Of course, one had to choose a high-grade potion to maximize the increase in attributes. Fortunately, this bottle of Ruby Strength potion was Level 8, and its effects were strong enough.
However, the pain caused by a high-grade strengthening potion was much more intense than that of a low-grade potion. If one tried to maximize the attributes and failed, it would all be over.
"I don't care! I can't be afraid now. If I want power, I have to pay the price! My Spirit attribute is as high as 7.9. I should be able to withstand a Level 8 strengthening potion! "
According to the rules, the higher the Spirit attribute, the higher the tolerance for strengthening potions! Moreover, among the four main attributes, only the Spirit attribute strengthening potion was not available. To develop the Spirit attribute, one could only rely on meditation and special food.
Bai Xiaowen picked up the test tube and drank the strengthening potion: Ruby Strength.
A warm current flowed into his body, and Bai Xiaowen could clearly feel that his muscles were stretching and becoming stronger. He could even hear a slight tearing sound coming from them.
What followed was intense pain.
"Oh my god, strengthening potions are really not to be drunk casually. My Strength is only 1.8. After drinking this strengthening potion, it will increase by one or two times. With such a huge increase in Strength, I will definitely suffer. "
Bai Xiaowen was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat. It was as if he had been fished out of the water. He clenched his teeth and held on, not letting himself faint.
Fortunately, the intense pain came and went quickly. Half an hour later, Bai Xiaowen finally felt better.
There was another notification.
"You have consumed the strengthening potion: Ruby Strength.
"Your basic Strength has increased by 2.7 points. Currently, it is 4.5 points!"
Bai Xiaowen swung his fist slightly in the cramped production room.
"Damn, I feel like I can kill a cow!"
This was not a joke. 4.5 Strength was four and a half times that of a normal healthy man in another time and space! After training in strength, killing a cow would not be a problem.
However, the increase in strength also brought a little side effect. Bai Xiaowen stumbled as he walked, knocking over two chairs in a row. However, Bai Xiaowen had read the strengthening potion's manual. The side effects of being unable to control Strength accurately did exist, but he would get used to it soon. In the Psionic Era, the human body's memory and adaptability were very strong.
Bai Xiaowen felt that it was a pity that the strengthening potion's purity was not high. It was only 67%. It limited the potion's effect, causing Bai Xiaowen's Strength to only increase by 2.7 points. It was still far from the expected Strength of 4 points.
"I'll put the strength-type strengthening potion aside for now. Next, I will learn how to make agility-based and physique-type strengthening potions to increase agility and physique. Although the strengthening will increase the pain, my Spirit is very high. I should be able to withstand one or two strengthening potions. "
