Outside the office.
Julie paced back and forth anxiously.
"Li Wei should be able to succeed. He's already an 'Extraordinary'! But even for an Extraordinary, there's still a chance of failure when concocting blood wine. For example, the Doctor failed 17 times the first time he concocted blood wine and almost went bankrupt …
"But … Li Wei is different. He's so talented. If he can't do it, what about Jasmine? Do I have to ask her to go to the Special Affairs Bureau? Then she might have to spend the rest of her life in prison or in a secret laboratory … "
Just as her anxiety reached a peak, the office door suddenly opened and Chung Shen-soo walked out.
"You succeeded?"
Julie asked, full of hope.
"Come in!"
Chung Shen-soo let Julie into the office and said, "I didn't concoct the Blood Healing Potion!"
Julie's eyes dimmed in an instant, as if she was really sad for a friend.
"Because I felt that its effects could be better!" Chung Shen-soo continued speaking as he brought out a glass of dark red cocktail. "So I tried to modify it and made Bloody Mary!"
This was indeed a small matter to him.
"You said … you modified a blood wine recipe and named it Bloody Mary?" Julie asked in a daze.
"Yes."
Chung Shen-soo nodded. He felt that there was no harm in establishing such a genius persona.
He had to admit that this kind of concoction was somewhat similar to alchemy in the Origin World.
Therefore, he was quite proficient at it.
"Oh my god, oh my god …"
Julie almost didn't know what to say. She carefully safeguarded the glass of Bloody Mary. "I have to go and see Jasmine. No matter what, I have to thank you this time."
"Wait a moment …"
Chung Shen-soo stopped Julie and said, "I have enough confidence in the cocktails I concoct! Next time, I need information on cultivating the nameless technique, as well as advanced mystical knowledge, such as how to find the Pure White Wilderness, how to pass … that Sleepwalking Chronicles. If there's any other content, I'm also very interested. We can discuss the price! "
"No problem."
Julie left a reply and hurried away.
It seemed that after this incident, she had begun to accept Li Wei as one of them.
…
Julie's footsteps were swift as she left the Whisperer Bar. She walked through the darkness and arrived at a shady clinic.
This place used to be the Doctor's stronghold, but after the Doctor died, it was abandoned.
Even so, all kinds of medical supplies were still prepared.
"Shadow, how is Jasmine?"
Julie opened the door of the clinic and saw a shadow in the darkness.
"I've already treated the wound on her shoulder, removed the bullet, and stitched up the flesh … Hehe … But there's no way to remove the spiritual corruption. I can only suppress it with the power of the ritual …"
The shadow replied in a deep voice, "If she eventually loses control and mutates into a monster, then we won't have to worry about her wounds getting infected …"
"Now is not the time to show off your dark humor."
Julie came to a ward and saw candles and silver daggers surrounding the sickbed … They formed a blockade.
Jasmine's shoulder was bandaged and she opened her eyes.
One of her eyes was clear, while the other was severely congested with blood, leaving only black and red. It looked extremely horrifying.
"Julie … promise me!"
Jasmine said, "If I lose control, kill me immediately. I don't want to die as a monster!"
"Don't be afraid, I've brought medicine for you."
Julie took out a wine flask.
"That kid really concocted the Bloody Healing Potion?"
The shadow, who had appeared behind the two of them at some point, said in surprise, "Julie … Your god really favors you so much!"
"I believe that the Ouroboros of Fate is always watching over me," Julie said.
"You won't be able to guess that he actually directly advanced to an Extraordinary. It's only been less than a week!"
"An Extraordinary? It seems that your plan to train a doctor has succeeded. "
The shadow was also a little excited. "That's great … There's finally someone in our circle who can produce special medicine again."
At this moment, Jasmine also revealed a relieved smile. She opened the wine flask and took a sip of the Bloody Mary. Her eyebrows twitched. "It's delicious … No, this doesn't seem to be the taste of the Bloody Healing Potion."
"Well …" Julie was a little embarrassed. "He said that he improved the formula. This Bloody Mary is more effective and tastes better!"
"Sh * t, how can you believe him? Improving the formula is something that even a master pharmacist might not be able to do! "The shadow said somewhat exasperatedly.
"At this time, I can only choose to believe him."
Julie sighed. At the same time, she watched Jasmine finish drinking the Bloody Mary and asked nervously, "How do you feel?"
"The restlessness in my heart has calmed down a lot …"
Jasmine answered honestly, "This feeling is very similar to the feeling of taking the Bloody Healing Potion. No, it's better …"
"Huh?"
Julie looked at her, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on her face.
The blood-red color in Jasmine's other eye had gradually faded at this time, leaving only a few traces of blood.
Although it looked like she had stayed up for a few days, it was much better than before.
"Look …"
Julie picked up a mirror, and Jasmine was pleasantly surprised to see that she had recovered a lot. "Great!"
She recalled the cup of Bloody Mary just now and couldn't help but be intoxicated by its sweet taste.
Under that unique taste, her originally restless spirituality seemed to be calmed down.
Finally, Jasmine confirmed that she had indeed passed this test and couldn't help but let out a cheer.
The two women immediately hugged each other.
The shadow next to them coughed. "Congratulations, Jasmine!"
"Thank you!"
Jasmine's eyes were a little moist. "But … I've lost my job."
"It's okay, I'll find you a good job," Julie comforted her softly. Julie comforted him softly, "Also … we have a new doctor. Life will be better in the future."
"Is that so?"
Although she didn't know how many people she had executed, Jasmine's personality was still somewhat dull.
Seeing this scene, the shadow couldn't help but hold his forehead and let out a sigh.
"By the way, where is that doctor? I want to go and thank him," Jasmine said.
"This … he's still in the observation period. I haven't decided whether or not to accept him into our circle," Julie replied somewhat awkwardly.
"In fact, you still want to delay for a while so that you can earn enough money as a middleman, right?" The shadow unceremoniously revealed the truth.
"No, I'm just observing …"
Julie lowered her head somewhat guiltily. Practicing the Nameless Technique was indeed very costly.
It was rare for her to meet a tycoon like Li Wei, so she really couldn't stop.
