Chapter 9 Funding Failures and Amazing Talent

The owner of the workshop showed Truman the process of refining medicine, which was not complicated.

Especially for the promotion potions of the first level of extraordinary, pharmacists who have not entered extraordinary can also try to refine them, as long as they have the formula, basic materials, and spiritual scripts.

Of course, "shares" are also consumed, whether it is making potions or swallowing potions, "shares" are required.

This is not a problem for Truman, he has the backing of the earth and can quickly recover his share.

So as long as Lilith lends him money, Truman is confident that he will be promoted to the first rank of Transcendent in a short time.

"I lent you 25 gold pounds, and you gave me a formula plus a potion for promotion... It seems to have made a profit, but that formula may not be suitable for me. I may drink it because of its temptation. potion, that is very dangerous."

"In addition, I have to bear the risk of your failure to make the potion. I think the probability of the apprentice successfully making the potion is very low, especially for the first time."

Li Lisi said very calmly, "Once Ni's pharmaceutical fails, my investment will be lost."

"How come, I have to pay back the 25 gold pounds." Truman assured, patting his chest.

"You have a deposit of 15 to 20 gold pounds at most now. This is your savings from two months of work. It seems to be repayable, but..."

Lilith made a turning point: "If you make money, you will definitely not repay the debt you owe me in the first place. Instead, you will try to make the potion again. It's going to be four months."

Lilith shook her head as she spoke, "I don't think our current friendship can support a huge debt of more than four months."

Truman was speechless.

"Work hard and make money, young people don't daydream." Lilith patted Truman on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Watching Lilith leave the back, Truman really felt like his daydream was broken.

At present, Truman's only way to make money is to translate spiritual texts.

The income from translating spiritual texts is already a high salary in this city.

You must know that coal miners, textile workers or butcher apprentices work 12 hours a day and can only earn about 2 silver orders, which is barely enough to feed a family.

When Truman first traveled through time, he had to go through all kinds of troubles and hardships to find this job.

So, work hard.

After all, in the foreseeable future, sooner or later, Truman will be able to earn enough gold pounds to be promoted to Extraordinary.

Today, Truman added another 12 silver orders to his money saving plan.

He completed the translation of 3 words.

His deposit amounted to more than 18 gold pounds.

When I got off work today, the temperature was still cold, but Truman's chest was full of enthusiasm and anticipation for the future.

He tightened his collar and quickened his pace, but suddenly he heard a faster footstep behind him.

Truman turned his head in surprise, and saw a man wearing a hat whose face could not be seen clearly, rushing towards him at a faster pace, and suddenly a huge sense of crisis surged into his heart.

robber?Thief?
This is not the first time Truman has encountered a perpetrator.

In fact, in this city full of poverty and hunger, there will be a large number of criminals bred under the night, they are called jackals or hyenas, the difference is whether they are alone or in packs.

Truman was not unprepared either. He turned around and opened his coat to reveal the pistol. This was a self-defense weapon he bought for 5 gold pounds. It was expensive but necessary.

The pistols of this era need to be manually filled with gunpowder and steel balls, but the Truman is a high-end product that can fire two bullets because it has two barrels.

If Truman were asked to choose again, he would definitely not choose this high-end product because he likes guns. After all, it only costs 3 gold pounds if it can only fire one bullet.

Seeing the gun in Truman's hand, the suspected criminal immediately stopped and raised his hands, and slowly stepped back into the shadows on both sides of the street.

This little episode did not affect Truman's mood, although few criminals would be interested in people who walked out of the workshop, because it was too dangerous.

But if the hunger reaches the limit, the jackal will also go crazy.

……

The next day, the hard-working Truman encountered a small 'problem'.

"A 'continuous word' with only 4 characters?"

Truman looked at Anton who was distributing work, and felt targeted.

"Indeed, the single-word work has already shined, and only 'continuous words' remain, do you want it?" Anton shrugged.

Although the owner of the workshop asked Truman to lead the group alone, Anton was still in charge of all the apprentices' job assignments. That is to say, Truman's position was promoted by half a level, but Anton would still make things difficult for him.

"Of course, after all, I'm saving money to buy recipes from the teacher." Truman said.

Anton knew about this, and Truman said it just to piss this guy off.

"Pray first that you don't go crazy at work." Anton's malice was already overflowing from his words.

"Anton, I don't think there is any conflict between us. My promotion to Extraordinary will not affect your future. Why target me?" Truman chose to spread the matter out.

"You untouchables are not worthy of being Extraordinary!" Anton whispered.

"Hey, that's hard to say, I'm a pariah? Do you have the throne to inherit?" Truman felt baffled.

You asked Chen Xing to interfere with my work, and I haven't even had time to take revenge. Why are you still on top?
……

A continuous word of 4 characters.

Truman held the pottery shards the size of four palms.

Using a small brush to dust off the debris, he began his work for the day.

This piece of pottery is straight and appears to be fragments from a large screen-like object, and the writing is arranged in order from top to bottom.

A 4-letter 'continuation' is equivalent to a 5-letter single devotional.

The 'share' required to complete this job has already surpassed Truman's highest record in the first three months, reaching the level he boasted to the workshop owner before.

But Truman still felt he could do it.

It is not done with the help of knowledge from the other side of the earth after repeated attempts and failures.

But Truman's 'share' seems to be enough to complete such a difficult challenge.

He feels his 'share' is growing.

It seems to have started with the invigorating potion.

The spirit is lifted, the sensitivity of thinking is improved, the 'share' is increased, and what is added is not the temporary value of the 'share', but the maximum value, which is the maximum recoverable amount.

The improvement and influence of biotechnology on the other side of the earth seems to be "solidified" under the effect of time travel?

Before 8 o'clock this evening, Truman successfully completed this 4-character 'continuous word'.

When the white light of the 'spiritual tide' swept across the workshop, it also reflected the jealousy and shock on Anton's face.

……

"Your talent is astonishing." Even Lilith lamented Truman's talent.

In the eyes of these workshop apprentices, 'share' is undoubtedly a talent that cannot be increased.

Generally, the work performance of apprentices in potion workshops reached the peak first, and then turned into slag like burnt coal.

Someone like Truman who has continuously increased his "share" in a short period of time and achieved higher work performance can only be described as amazing endowment.

"You're welcome." Truman felt that if the earth's biotechnology could have a permanent effect on him, then this achievement was still conservative.

"Anton's talent is poor, right? He is a formal student of the master of the workshop, and his family is rich. If he is talented, he should have used potions to advance to Extraordinary?" Truman suddenly remembered this.

"He drank the potion," Lilith said.

Um?Truman looked at Lilith in surprise.
