Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 270 Advanced
At noon, Coral City.

Cloudy, windy, leaves falling on the streets, another gloomy day without sun.

The temperature is getting lower and lower. After a few autumn rains, the whole city enters winter in an instant. Pedestrians on the street tighten their collars, and homeless people on street corners huddle together to keep warm.

"Swipe...swipe..."

At the entrance of the pharmacy, Su Xia held an old broom and gently swept the fallen leaves in the corner.

A few soft drops of rain fell, icy and cool, flying into the dust and disappearing.

Su Xia looked up at the sky, narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that the rain was about to get heavier, put the broom in her hand by the door, and started to collect clothes.

Boss Zhao across the street delivered lunch as usual, and it was still an exquisite eight dishes and one soup, which was unimaginably extravagant in this era.

Before the small bamboo cage containing the food was opened, the fragrance wafted out, like a pair of invisible gentle hands, moving back and forth between the noses, making people salivate.

"Hey, why didn't you see Master today?" Boss Zhao asked as soon as he walked to the door.

"Teacher has something to do." Su Xia replied perfunctorily.

"Hey, Master's matter must be a big one." Boss Zhao still had the familiar commercial smile on his face.

"It's time to work, let's put the food on the table." Su Xia was noncommittal, and opened the door of the store for Boss Zhao.

The lights in the shop were dim, and the smell of various medicines and materials mixed together, like rotten old wood, mixed with a bit of bloody smell, it was hard to describe.

Dad didn't come back all night, and there was no news this morning.

Even Hong Bafu, who was very nervous, realized that something was wrong. He didn't have the heart to refine the potion all morning, and lost more than ten potions.

But Lan Bafu was even more impatient, and would keep asking Su Xia endlessly during breakfast.

He knew very well that Su Xia and the old man must have something to hide from the two brothers, and it might be very dangerous, so he didn't want them to know.

From breakfast to now, Lan Bafu was sitting by the window, looking worried, looking in the direction where his father left last night.

"It's time to eat!"

Su Xia lifted the lid of the small bamboo cage, and the fragrance instantly filled the whole shop.

He put the lid aside, arranged the bowls and chopsticks, glanced at the two listless guys, and greeted them.

In the past, it was the old man who greeted them for dinner.

Today became Su Xia.

In the past, when Hong Bafu heard this voice, he would tremble all over, and with a silly smile on his face, he could not wait to jump out of his seat and run to the eating place.

But today, he had a rare loss of appetite, and he said weakly, "Brother Su, where did the teacher go? It's so dangerous outside now, what if the teacher gets into trouble?"

"I don't know too well. The teacher just said he was going out and gave me the key."

"Oh, brother Su, you should have realized something was wrong when you got the key last night." Hong Bafu sighed, "You are still too young. The teacher gave you the key, not necessarily to make you remember to close the door at night, but also Maybe the whole pharmacy was entrusted to you."

"Well, what my brother said is true." Su Xia nodded, "Let's eat first. If the teacher comes back and sees you so hungry, he will definitely scold you again."

"I would like to hear him criticize me a few more times..."

Hong Bafu sighed, walked to the table and sat down, staring blankly at the table full of food, not even wanting to move his chopsticks.

Lan Bafu also sat down and remained silent.

Both of them are orphans left by the cruel war. Both parents died and their relatives were separated. If their father hadn't taken them in, they might have become lonely ghosts in the wilderness by now.

After so many years in the store, they have regarded Dad as a real family member.

Otherwise, with the talents and abilities of the two of them, it's time for them to leave the pharmacy and start their own businesses elsewhere.

As for the material money they owed from Dad, it's actually not a big deal at all.

As long as the two of them are willing, the money can be returned soon.

After all, he is a fourth-level pharmacist, and he will be a guest of others wherever he goes. There are many ways to make money, and the pharmaceutical industry has always been one of the top profit-making industries.

"Oh, why did the teacher leave the phone behind?" Hong Bafu was still sighing, "If something happens, even if you want to contact us, there is no way."

Dad's small arms and legs are as skinny as a bamboo pole, which can be blown down by a gust of wind.

In case something bad or bad happens, how should these apprentices deal with themselves?
Under Su Xia's repeated urging, the two finally started to have lunch. The light in the shop was still light yellow, but the atmosphere was not as warm as before, and the two of them ate like chewing wax.

During the meal, Su Xia received a task reminder.

【Mission abnormally out of control has been completed】

[Currently progressing to the third stage]

[Before the arrival of the mechanical army, the rebel members of the joint camp successfully evacuated, preserving vitality for the future cause of human resistance]

【Retreat is not shameful】

【你得到奖励《高级药剂师经验宝典》x1；四阶药剂配方《致命尖啸》x1；四阶药剂配方《迷神药水》x1；四阶药剂配方《刹那风华》x1；技能《灵能护盾》x1】

[Rewards have been issued and can be withdrawn at any time]

The joint camp has been withdrawn, and the trip of the machine race is doomed to be in vain.

The abundance of rewards exceeded Su Xia's imagination. After all, this may be one of the easiest tasks he has completed since entering the game.

He didn't go all the way to the Southwestern Mountains to remind the joint camp, he just went to the Zero Tavern to find someone to help, and the mission was completed.

That "Senior Pharmacist Experience Collection" is similar to the experience pills in other games.

Su Xia had obtained an ordinary experience book before. After being instilled with the experience of that book, she successfully broke through the barrier and was promoted to the third-level pharmacist. She has not digested the experience yet.

During this period of time, he has repeatedly created his own recipes and was able to change the original recipes, which is also related to the experience book.

Now he has reached the critical moment of being promoted to the fourth-level pharmacist, and there is no father to assist him.

"This book came at just the right time."

Su Xia didn't use it for the time being, and planned to try again after eating, and moved her eyes to the second reward first.

[Recipe "Deadly Screech"]

[Type: Auxiliary Potion]

【Level: Level [-]】

[Description: After use, greatly improve personal shooting accuracy]

[Note: People with brain diseases should not use it, pregnant women, children and other people should not use it, and short-term heartbeat may occur after taking it]

An auxiliary medicine, not a poison, but it is also suitable for killers or fighters, and snipers are the most suitable.

After using it, it should be able to increase the headshot rate a lot.

Su Xia continued to look at the next one.

[Recipe "Magic Potion"]

【Type: Poison】

【Level: Level [-]】

[Description: After using it on a target, the target will obey your instructions for a short period of time, the specific time depends on the opponent's resistance]

[Note: This potion can be used in conjunction with "mind control" skills for better results]

[Note: Do not use this drug repeatedly on the same target in a short period of time, otherwise it will cause the target to experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, etc., and in severe cases, it may lead to cardiac arrest or even death]

"Be obedient?"

Su Xia rubbed her chin, thinking of all kinds of small advertisements pasted on the poles in the streets and alleys.

This thing is also called fairy water, ecstasy water, etc. on the other side of the earth. In the past, you can see advertisements for this kind of drug in many small advertisements, behind magazines at street stalls, on the back of small cards, etc.

But obviously, the potion that Su Xia obtained from this formula is much more powerful than the obedient water on the earth.

If this potion is obtained by someone with malicious intentions, the consequences can be imagined.

Su Xia knew it well.

Most of the poisons in his hands will only be sold to acquaintances, and they will not be sold to anyone with a little relationship.

The pharmacy is not short of the money he sells poisons. The main sources of income are healing potions and health potions. He can also refine these potions, but there is no talent bonus.

Su Xia moved her gaze to the next reward.

[Recipe "Momentary Elegance"]

[Type: Auxiliary Potion]

【Level: Level [-]】

[Description: After using it, its combat power will be increased by at least 20% in all aspects, and its speed, strength, perception, etc. will be greatly improved. It is usually used in a difficult situation, and the maintenance time is at least 10 minutes. There is a small probability of extending the duration of its own spiritual talent. time】

[Note: After the potion effect ends, you will fall into a certain state of weakness]

[Note: Before the weak state is over, this potion cannot be used repeatedly, forcibly using it will cause irreversible damage to oneself]

【…】

Seeing this effect, Su Xia's heart moved, recalling the scene of fighting Yu Tuo for the first time.

At that time, he was hunted down so badly that he couldn't escape from heaven to earth, so he had to use a potion that could temporarily explode his combat power, and escaped from Yu Tuo's hands after paying a heavy price.

That potion was made by the old man, a fourth-order potion.

At that time, Su Xia felt that the fourth-level potion was an unattainable goal. She didn't know that it could be refined in the year of the monkey, but she didn't expect that he would come to this step now.

"Time flies so fast."

Su Xia was inexplicably more emotional. When he was a child, he always felt that a day was very long.

Over the years, I always feel that time is getting faster and faster, and before I know it, a day is gone.

The last prize is the general skill "Psionic Shield". This avatar has not learned it, and it is actually not very useful.

Every time he fights, he will first summon three inner and outer layers of metal fragments to surround himself. With the growth of his strength, now even ordinary armor-piercing bullets can't get in.

After thinking about it, Su Xia decided to learn it anyway, since she has too many skills to overwhelm her body.

"I'm stuffed!"

Lan Bafu suddenly spoke, glanced at Su Xia, got up and left, returned to the seat by the window, and quietly waited for the father to come back.

Not long after, Hong Bafu also finished eating.

Su Xia got up and called Boss Zhao across the street to come and pick up the leftover food, which was also done by her father in the past.

After a while, a little newsboy rushed over against the rain, splashed all over with rain and mud, and took out a fairly dry noon newspaper from his arms. As soon as he saw Su Xia, he asked strangely: "The master hasn't come back yet." ?"

"Ah."

Su Xia nodded, and took the noon newspaper from the little newsboy.

Dad is free on weekdays, so he likes to sit behind the counter and read the newspaper, and he never misses the newspaper almost every day from morning to evening.

Coral City is not big, and most of the newspapers are about trivial matters, and only the sections that publish news about other cities can occasionally bring a little surprise.

"When will Master come back?" The little newsboy asked with his eyes wide open.

"I don't know."

"Oh……"

The little newsboy seemed a little disappointed, lowered his head and pouted, kicked away the pebbles at his feet casually, and planned to continue delivering newspapers to the next house.

At this time, Su Xia stopped him: "Wait, let's go buy some snacks."

As he spoke, he put a crumpled coin of small face value in the hand of the little newsboy and told him to keep it.

The old man spends a lot of money. He is a person who really has no interest in money. He used to give the little newsboy some favors occasionally, so the little newsboy is looking forward to his return.

Seeing the crumpled banknotes, the little newsboy's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face came back again, like a little bee seeing a flower, his eyes were so happy that he narrowed his eyes, and bowed to Su Xia repeatedly: "Thank you, Thank you little master!"

little master?
The name sounds weird.

Su Xia shook her head, and said to the little newsboy, "Go, the rain is getting heavier, go home early."

"Ok!"

The little newspaper boy ran away happily, like a cheerful rabbit in the rain.

Su Xia watched his leaving back for a while, then looked away, turned back to the pharmacy, took a black umbrella, and carried an old small medicine box on her back.

There are some common healing potions in the small medicine chest.

He walked out of the shop, opened a black umbrella, wore a simple black gown, stepped into the soft and hazy rain, and walked towards an old alley.

"Six courses of treatment, only the third injection now." Su Xia thought of the instructions left by her father.

Not long ago, a poor family in the alley asked Dad to buy medicine, which was used to treat a seriously ill child.

The money that their whole family collected was not enough for one-tenth of the material money, but the father agreed and formulated a treatment plan for the child, and the treatment is only half done now.

He didn't come back for a long time, and the follow-up tasks naturally fell on Su Xia.

Soon, Su Xia finished treating the family's children, and then rushed to another location nearby.

When he left, he charged two eggs as medicine.

"Su Yaoshi has worked hard. It's raining heavily now. Come in and have a cup of tea and rest." Along the way, some shop owners recognized him and greeted him warmly.

No matter what era, this life-saving profession will always receive extra respect.

Su Xia smiled and responded one by one.

He has been here for a while, and he often goes out to deliver medicines. He basically knows everyone in the surrounding streets, and he also knows a lot of rich people in the city.

It didn't take long for Su Xia to treat the injured and sick patients in several nearby families one after another. The medicine in the small medicine box was also used up, and then she returned to the shop with an umbrella.

"call……"

Su Xia collected all the umbrellas and hung them on the clothes rail outside the door.

The rainwater on the umbrellas flowed quickly, gathered between the umbrellas and dripped, and the raindrops rolled up the dust on the ground, and finally merged into the cold water on the street.

This trip outside relieved the boredom of sitting in the morning.

Su Xia returned to her experimental bench, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the rain outside the window, and took a few gentle breaths, feeling better than ever.

"Today is a great day for a breakthrough!"

He opened his eyes, a faint blue flashed in his eyes, and then took out the potion book in the prize column.

【use】

With a thought in Su Xia's mind, the medicine book in the storage space immediately glowed with golden light.

It is automatic without wind, and the pages are opened at an extremely fast speed, and countless golden words fly out between the pages.

All the words seemed to be burning, the golden light was in full bloom, and finally burned out and disappeared into nothingness.

coming!

Su Xia only felt his head sank, and immediately sat down, the familiar feeling of swelling and pain returned, as if something exploded in his mind, expanding rapidly, and would fill every inch of his brain's space.

At the same time, the valuable experience of countless senior masters appeared in his mind out of thin air, as if he had been enlightened, and he couldn't refuse it.

My brain seemed to be splitting open, and the knowledge was overflowing.

He gritted his teeth and endured the drowsiness and dizziness of his brain. He immediately took out the experimental equipment and began to refine a fourth-order potion.

"Wild bluegrass, aquamarine ore powder, datura juice, dry blue phantom bacteria..."

The medicine he intends to refine is called "The Blue of the Other Shore", a powerful hallucinogenic poison, and the difficulty of refining it is considered medium among the fourth-level medicines.

He had tried several times before, but they all failed. He was always stuck on the threshold of the fourth-level pharmacist, and it was difficult to pass.

It's normal to think about it. With the accumulation of Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, it took a long time to break through the fourth level.

However, Su Xia has grown up to the present by eating experience books, and her own accumulation is not enough after all.

Today, under the impact of countless majestic experiences, he has a familiar feeling——

It will work this time!
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared outside the window, silently, with calm eyes, quietly watching the situation in the pharmacy.

Seeing this figure, Lan Bafu's expression changed, and he almost shouted out.

It's Yu Tuo!

Why is Yu Tuo here?

Not only Yu Tuo, but also countless indifferent and powerful mechanical warriors behind Yu Tuo.

The whole street has been blocked!The shops on both sides of the street were all quiet, the people in the shops didn't dare to breathe, their faces turned pale from nervousness, the world was so quiet that only the sound of fine rainwater beating the ground was left.

"Shh-"

Yu Tuo glanced at Lan Bafu, shook his head slightly, pointed behind him, and signaled him to keep quiet.

Then, his eyes returned to Su Xia, observing quietly, as if he wanted to see if Su Xia could succeed.

Lan Bafu's whole heart was suspended.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at the direction of Yu Tuo's finger, only then did he realize that there was something wrong with Su Xia behind him.

He recognized the potion that Su Xia was making, after all, the potion formula had been exchanged before.

"Fourth-order potion?"

Lan Bafu's eyes widened. This time Su Xia's performance was much more proficient than before, as if she had been taken away by a certain alchemy master, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Could it be that he is going to become a fourth-tier pharmacist?

This terrifying thought appeared in Lan Bafu's heart, which shocked him even himself.

It's too fast... How long has it been since Su Xia got started?

How can someone be so fast?
Could it be that he was made into a spirit by medicine?
