Beiqi, the Mansion of the Dead.
Compared to the difficult survival mode of the Naraka players, the life of the Beiqi players had returned to normal after the death of the short-lived His Excellency, Yue Yao.
Lu Wu had never thought of recruiting Yue Yao, but Yue Yao was stubborn and rejected Lu Wu's offer.
He could no longer return to the Land of the Nine Luminaries, and the Yue Yao Army that followed him had been destroyed. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. In his eyes, the players were irreconcilable enemies. There was no way he could surrender, even if it meant death.
Although Lu Wu felt sorry for this, he did not show any mercy.
This was the law of the underworld. The winner was king. Yue Yao already knew of Lu Wu's existence at that time. Since they could no longer coexist, there was no need for him to continue to exist.
After Yue Yao's death, the overall strength of the Beiqi players skyrocketed again. This time, the annihilation of Yue Yao's army had given the players a special title as a reward. All the players felt extremely satisfied.
After their lives were on the right track, the players had a variety of entertainment activities other than killing monsters and leveling up.
After the Rock Ghost King and the other bosses became NPCs, Beiqi was firmly in the hands of the players.
Their next step was to declare war on the Land of the Nine Luminaries!
On this day, the players who were in the game suddenly received a game notification.
[Game Update Notice: The Life Profession "Apothecary" has been released in this update.]

…
As the players clamored for it, the first lifestyle class was officially released.
At the same time, in the safe zone of the Mansion of the Dead in Beiqi, a giant tree-shaped building appeared next to Tong Gua's Forging Workshop.
[Monolith Apothecary Association]
Description: Apothecary Training Association. All players who are Level 80 or above can apply for the profession "Apothecary" here. After passing a series of tests, the player can officially become an Apothecary and obtain the Apothecary Interface (Applications for the Apothecary profession change will be opened periodically).
Building Functions: Apothecary Profession Change, Apothecary Furnace Purchase, Apothecary Advancement
Building Owner: Rock (Ghost King Intermediate NPC)
The appearance of an Alchemist immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players. This was especially true for players who did not like fighting and preferred to spend their days leisurely gardening. The crowd surged towards the Boulder Alchemy Association.
However, becoming an Alchemist wasn't as easy as players thought.
Even in the Underworld, there were very few people who could become an Apothecary. After all, this wasn't a game. Only players with true talent in this area could walk on this path and continue walking it for a long time.
In fact, it would be very simple to refine potions according to the preset template. Even the measuring device could be set up. Players only needed to gather enough materials and click "Start" to easily refine the potions.
However, if they were to refine potions according to the preset template, the players would be stuck in a dead end. The consequence of relying too much on the template was that they would no longer have the ability to innovate in the future.
Since Lu Wu planned to turn the army of players into a truly talented race, he naturally had to make some trade-offs in this aspect.
Therefore, Lu Wu gave up on using the template to refine potions. Instead, he chose to let the players practice by themselves. He only provided convenience in terms of skills and knowledge so that the players could adjust the stability of the fusion of spiritual materials.
Under such harsh conditions, Lu Wu believed that a batch of true Apothecary Masters would emerge among the players in the future.
By then, they would have the ability to create new prescriptions by relying on their own efforts. They would also be able to improve and optimize many of the existing prescriptions.
Short-sighted choosing to refine potions according to the template would only curb the creativity of the players. Therefore, Lu Wu gave up decisively.
Since Lu Wu had always been full of expectations for the players, he would never limit the upper limit of the players.
At this moment, the players received the Trial Quest notification from Lu Wu.
[Since the Apothecary profession is a life profession that is extremely difficult to operate, the quota for the Apothecary profession is limited to ten thousand. Do you want to participate in the Apothecary Profession Change Trial?]
Seeing that there were only ten thousand quotas, the players suddenly complained. They all complained that the officials were going to mistreat the weak them again.
In the face of such a situation, Lu Wu still gave the players a clear reply on the forum.
He indicated that this was only the first trial and that there would be more quotas in the future. At the same time, he also pointed out the difficulty of operating the Apothecary profession.
Although they complained, the players were still full of expectations for this new profession.
However, there was still something else that left the players dumbfounded.
All the players who clicked to confirm their participation in the Apothecary Profession Change Trial immediately received three books that were as thick as dictionaries from the system.
[Identification of Medicinal Ingredients (Complete)]
[Beginner Apothecary Operating Guide (Simplified)]
[How to Refine Potions with the Highest Efficiency (Simplified)]
At the same time, there was also a game notification:
[The Apothecary Profession Change Trial will be held in three days. Please read these three books as it will be of decisive help to the outcome of the trial!]
Forum:
Crayon _ Shinchan: "Oh my god! I'm just playing a game and they want me to endorse books. I'm really impressed by the developers of Battle Online. They're so awesome! (kneeling emoji) "
Xueli _ The _ Strongest: "I want to kill someone. I didn't expect that I, who had left the sea of books, would one day have to hold these three thick books and memorize them just to play a game. Bastard developers, eat my spear (bleeding knife.jpg)"
Roasting _ Jade _ Hare _ While _ Hugging _ Chang 'e: "I can say that I really don't like studying, but I want to change my profession to be an Apothecary. What should I do? (crying emoji)"
Watermelon _ Taro: "I, the weakest chicken in this forum, finally has a chance to rise. A noble child comes from a poor family. I'm going to stick my neck out. It's just three books, I'll accept this challenge. (bright eyes emoji)"
Dumbledore: "Bastard, how dare you ask me to endorse books. Why don't you set a condition that only doctoral students have the chance to change their profession? (slamming table emoji)"
Crayon _ Shinchan replied to Dumbledore: "Shh, shut up! Don't let the officials see this, or else I'm afraid they'll do it. (laughing emoji) "
Assassin _ Creed: "Player: Even if I starve to death and have no games to play, I won't endorse books. (flustered and exasperated emoji)" Major Guilds: "Recruiting Apothecary players. The salary is extremely high and the benefits are excellent!" Player: "Damn (smells good)"
Potash _ Calcium _ Sodium _ Magnesium _ Aluminium: "As a doctoral student majoring in chemistry, I'm determined to change my profession. Draw your sword, scumbags (crazy provocative eyes emoji)"
Frankenstein _ Monster: "Damn, I really like this. Can I continue to experiment crazily in the game?" After reading the official announcement that the synthesis of potions was full of uncertainties, and that the god-tier potions could even help people level up by 100 levels, I was beyond excited. I'm going to stay up late to memorize books for the next three days. I'm going to change my profession. I said, even Jesus can't hold me back! "
…
After the announcement, the players were both happy and worried. Those who didn't like to learn almost cried themselves to death.
Therefore, the players began to coax and pester people, acting cute and coquettish in the forum, hoping that the officials would modify the content of the trial.
Obviously, it was impossible for their idea to be realized.
This time, Lu Wu didn't even reply to them.
The commotion among the players gradually subsided amid the complaints.
One of the players used a very incisive sentence to summarize the content of the Apothecary Trial this time.
"Ever since I was young, my parents told me to study more. Only then can I stand out. I didn't think much of it. Until one day, I became addicted to a game called Battle Online. Only then did I realize that my parents didn't lie to me!"
