The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 139 Soft rice is hard to eat!

Travelers who came back from the east told tales about the golden tower and the countless armies of the eastern lord.

Spices, fine silks, gleaming gold, fine china vases, and all manner of other oddities.

Through these things, people can get a glimpse of the magic and affluence of that distant eastern country.

Cities made of jade, as well as temples used to observe the movement of celestial bodies and the positions of stars, and huge stone lions with life.

This is Cathay.

……

"So... what happened to Cathay?"

Regarding the mage girl's question, Bercy nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, after knowing that the orcs would Waaaagh, Bercy more or less had some guesses.

"Nothing, just a little curiosity, that's all."

Regarding Belhee's words, the mage girl shrugged indifferently, and said, "If you are curious, you can buy Aurora's picture books everywhere... Sometimes you can also see dramas from Aurora."

Sebbelia also recalled it, and said: "Actually, there are quite a few survivors from Cathay... We have a classmate who is."

"In the current Cathay Continent, there should only be countless half-plane passages left, and there are countless lunatics."

survivor?only left with……

Well, I'm afraid the country will perish.

"..."

Thinking of this, Bercy mourned for a certain prototype in his heart for the country of Huaxia, and then turned his attention to the present moment.

"Then what if you can't make the medicine?"

Belsy who was asking, was talking like a Tang monk: "If we can't make medicine, we can't sell medicine. If we can't sell medicine, we won't have money. If we don't have money, we won't be able to build new buildings, and our invincible hegemony will be hindered. hindered us..."

【Ah, I know, I know!Big Brother Bercy really is. 】

Seven Island Semu said, thinking about how to make the first bottle of medicine... only one bottle of medicine is needed.

All you need is a bottle of medicine that is recognized by the system panel, and you don't need her to make the medicine yourself, just a simple synthesis is all you need.

but in fact……

In many cases, the most difficult thing is always the process from 0 to 1.

……

"Forget it if you can't, the difficulty of refining medicine is very high, and..."

The mage girl looked at the potions that were not pure in color, and compared them with the potions that she remembered would be sold in pharmacies:
"Second sister, your medicine is actually completely qualified... Is your system master's requirements too strict?"

In fact, there are many pharmacies that sell medicines of this level.

Even the potion of Seven Island Semu has far exceeded the standard.

[But even if you say that, I can't make medicine and sell it alone...there are so many spicy ingredients. 】

Wouldn't that be the ultimate coolie?
Moreover, with the current quantity, even if each tentacle of Seven Island Semu can work independently, it is unlikely to fill the gap in funds.

Even if the tentacles of Seven Island Semu [嗤嗤嗤] are worn out, the speed of making potions is not fast enough.

Therefore, it is still necessary to borrow the synthesis function of the system.

Well, the idea of ​​[Let Seven Island Semu make a bottle of medicine and then unlock the formula] obviously doesn't work.

But that doesn't mean the system is useless.

Just like a bakery, of course there are corresponding buildings that can be used to automatically consume raw materials to produce medicines.

It's called [Pharmaceutical Workshop].

"It's that simple...and, in fact, it can be built a long time ago."

After saying this, Bercy clapped his hands to indicate that the problem was resolved, and said, "Then immediately... wait, are we completely out of money?"

Indeed, the gold coins are completely finished, not enough to build the medicine machine workshop, which is a pity...

If I knew it earlier, I would have made it earlier.

【…】

When Bercy felt sorry, Seven Island Semu retorted: [If it could be made, I would have made it long ago. 】

[In addition to the lack of money, there is another serious problem - many buildings that will be unlocked later require professional personnel reserves to build. 】

Seven Island Semu flipped through the system panel, and she casually gave an example: [The blacksmith shop needs a first-level blacksmith or a first-level blacksmith to settle in before it can be built. 】

[Medicine machine workshop also requires at least a first-level mage (pharmaceutical Lv.1), a first-level pharmacist, or a first-level alchemist... none in our entire territory. 】

"..."

Bercy was silent for a while, sighed with emotion, and said, "Then... how about we recruit one?"

This is a very reasonable approach, but...

Why is Bercy sighing?
"As for the salary of the pharmacist..."

Bercy said, and then seemed to have made up his mind: "Either we go grab some somewhere, or I... go ask for money."

As for the object of asking for money, in this context, it is obvious...

[Puff~ Big brother is going to be supported! 】

Seven Island Semu couldn't help laughing, and then stopped acting and laughed: [Hahahahaha, die of laughter! 】

Not only her, but also the mage girl and Sebbelia more or less guessed it, and they...

I can't be happy.

but……

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome..."

The mage girl said: "If it's just a first-level pharmacist, there are actually a lot of them in Wangcheng, right? There are also those who are depressed, so just abduct one."

And to this...

[Then you don't know anything about medicine?It's weird for me to say, but you guys should be considered amazing geniuses. 】

The meaning of Seven Island Semu's words is also very obvious - geniuses like you are pure waste in refining medicine, can the pharmacists in Wangcheng do it?
"Yes, a pharmacist should be regarded as a very precious profession."

Belsy said so, and brought in the settings of the online texts such as "Fights Break X Sphere" he had read, and said, "We shouldn't be able to abduct it, right?"

"..."

Regarding the misunderstanding of the two, the mage girl and Sebbelia looked at each other and realized something.

"What and what duck... If you want to talk about rarity and gold, our mage must be the best profession!"

As the mage girl said so, she coughed lightly twice, and explained the common sense of the main plane to the two abyssal creatures: "We have a much wider employment field than pharmacists."

【Employment side】

Hearing this word suddenly in another world, both Bercy and Seven Island Semu showed contemptuous expressions.

Suddenly, I feel that the world has changed.

"Many times, white mages and priests can completely replace pharmacists, and our pharmacy class is not an important class."

"Moreover, the refining of high-level potions also requires enough magic power, which means that pharmacists need to have a good foundation in the mage profession..."

"Then it's better to become a mage directly. If the [talent] is not for pharmacy, very few people would choose to become a pharmacist."

"Although the medicine is really easy to use, and the price is expensive, it's easy to sell, but it's the pharmacy that makes the money, not the pharmacist."

The mage girl cited the healing potion as an example, and said, "It is impossible for a pharmacist to get something like [Spirit Soup] by himself."

A long time ago, healing potions were only made of herbs. At that time, the healing potions were green, but the healing effect could only be said to be mediocre...

Quickly added the red healing potion made of [wood elf limbs picked up on the battlefield, boiled elf broth] as raw materials, and it came out.

Originally, it was just on the battlefield. Everyone randomly picked up some enemy corpses to fill their stomachs, and added some herbs to speed up the recovery of injuries.

However, the healing effect is surprisingly good, almost comparable to healing techniques that consume mana, so...

This new healing potion shines on the battlefield.

The whole world knows this recipe.

……

Using elf meat as a raw material is naturally very cruel... Of course, the main reason is that killing elves is too troublesome and meat is expensive to buy.

After some research, everyone realized that it was the wood elves' affinity for the wood element that played a role in the potion.

In other words, they are equivalent to performing a refining function.

So, bathwater (the magic dialysis solution inside the wood elves), can also play a similar role...and therefore many alternatives can be used.

Anyway, any material that has an affinity for the wood element is fine.

"Obviously the wood elves' bath water is the cheapest material, but why would someone give that stuff to a pharmacist who has never met before?"

The mage girl shrugged and told about the tragedy of the pharmacist: "And the competition among pharmacists is fierce..."

Regarding this, Sebbelia also nodded in agreement, and she said: "Well, because the success rate of making medicine is difficult to guarantee."

"That's why it's difficult for low-level pharmacists to be recruited by pharmacies, and even high-level pharmacists can't get a high salary... because the pharmacy only needs them to refine low-level pharmacies."

Sounds voluminous enough...

Bercy subconsciously associated the profession of [pharmacist] with [doctors] in the previous world... No, it should be worse than studying medicine.

Because there is magic in this world!Healing can cure diseases and heal injuries with one shot.

"In other words, can we pick up a homeless pharmacist who is about to starve to death in Wangcheng or other places?"

For those who said so, Bercy propped his chin and pondered.Seven Island Semu resolutely complained: [How do you say that a pharmacist is like a stray dog? 】

However, does this mean that you don't have to pay wages?
The thoughts of the two must be very obvious, completely expressed on the face, so that the mage girl showed a speechless expression:
"It shouldn't be that easy to find... After all, the pharmacist who is about to die of starvation should be hiding under some bridge, right?"

Sleeping bridge hole?Isn't that a real stray dog? !

Or what kind of hobo is a pharmacist?
"Even if this is the case, the start-up capital for the construction of the pharmacy workshop...doesn't it still require me to sell it...cough cough, I mean, do I need to ask for it?"

【Hahaha, Big Brother Bercy slipped his tongue!It's prostitution!It's a betrayal of hue!Lele! 】

"..."

"Shut up, Sem."

Bercy poked Seme of the Seven Islands angrily, watched the cold and soft slime tremble, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, you just said... the medicine machine workshop is stationed [first-order mage ( Pharmacy Lv.1)] is also possible, right?"

【Yup. 】

Then there might be a play to this matter.

"So……"

As Bercy said, he turned his gaze to the direction of the mage girl and Sebbelia: "Do you know any classmates who...have good grades in pharmacy class?"

Everyone immediately realized what Bercy said.

That's right, if you can't find a pharmacist... just find a mage!And if it's someone the mage girls and the others are familiar with, it's easy to recruit.

[Brother Bercy, how come you specially call in acquaintances to start. 】

Seven Island Semu said something ambiguous, and then looked in the direction of all the mage girls who were thinking: [Third sister, what do you say? 】

"Ah... ah?"

The mage girl issued a [Huh? ] voice, scratching his golden hair: "I don't know... I don't care about this."

Yes, Sebbelia is also aware of this - when the mage girl was in school, she almost never had a good relationship with her classmates.

Neither will participate in any discussion groups, nor will they go with each other.

They are usually loners, and probably the most [interaction] with classmates is the kind of physical integration.

That is, a duel bet... the kind that will blow your brains out.

On this basis, the mage girl can remember the names and identities of her classmates, which is already very good, and she can't expect more.

"Let me think about it... By the way, student Hai Lei, it seems that he transferred from our Rhea Katamanaria Kingdom Academy of Magic to become a pharmacist, right?"

(Mage girl: I don’t know, don’t ask me~)

Sebubelia said this, and she said with emotion: "Because it has been too late to graduate from the first level, so I gave up decisively."

No matter what age you are, if you are still a first-order magician, you must always take the elementary courses of the academy...

Because there is no way to upgrade, it means that the course has not been completed.

That's why in the college, occasionally you can see old people who look like 80 or [-] years old in class with children of [-] or [-] years old...

Of course there are still a few.

But no matter what, the tuition fee is a relatively unaffordable figure for many commoners with some magical talents.

Mage is also a very cruel profession...

"..."

"So, do you know where [Student Hai Lei] is going?"

Bercy asked, thinking that he could abduct the classmates they knew from over there... Pooh, hey, solicitation and training.

Accept the cultivation of the Northern Territory!

Regarding Belci's words, Sebu Beria recalled: "I have heard about her movements before... Hai Lei should be working in... Duni City?"

Bercy: "..."

Seven Island Semu: […]

Mage girl: "..."

If we were talking about the city of Dhoni, which was already under melting and the dried bamboo shoots exploded, then this is really a familiar place.

"okay……"

Sebubelia pondered so deeply, feeling a little bit emotional: "Perhaps, the other party no longer knows where he fled."

It might have died in the meltdown.

"Okay, no matter what, I'll go directly to ask Her Royal Highness for money... If the amount is large enough, we can skip the step of refining medicine."

When Bercy said that, he looked very righteous...

……

It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to guess——

This is the rhetoric before eating soft rice.
