071 Shut out and improve formula

The Imperial Workshop is divided into different research institutes according to its functions. The most important research on alien blood potions and alien beast equipment is carried out at the Imperial Hunter Station.

In the Wangdu Furnace Area, there are also branches of the Imperial Workshop, where most of the responsible products are conventional products, potions used by ordinary people, ordinary equipment and weapons, etc.

It is said that there is another research institute located in a more secret area, closing the research on more confidential technologies, and he just heard about it.

Zhou Jing was walking around the city and finally arrived at the Wangdu Workshop. He was stopped by the guards at the door to ask about his purpose.

When he learned that this person was another pharmacist who applied to join the workshop, the guards looked as usual and he skillfully reported it.

Soon, a little old man in a workshop uniform walked out and looked up and down at Bill's friendly appearance.

"That's what's your name? What's the pharmacist in what direction? What's the recipe?"

The old man did not exchange greetings, and just quipped a series of questions, making it look like an interview.

"My name is Bill, and I know more than a dozen formulas, most of which are ordinary potions, including two types of hunter potions..." Zhou Jing introduced himself.

The old man nodded, showed no other performance, and asked:

"Depending on your young age, you have been a pharmacist for a few years, right? Who taught you?"

"At the beginning, I studied with local doctors in my hometown, and occasionally made potions for villagers, and accumulated a lot of experience. I came to Wangdu some time ago and had a conversation with my colleagues. I decided to come to the Imperial Workshop to find a job, hoping to have a stable job and concentrate on research..." Zhou Jing took out a speech.

To be honest, I just worked as a pharmacist for a month and I was definitely turned away, so I still have to do some artistic processing, at least I have to raise my "working years" up.

"Well..." the old man shook his head and said, "Your conditions are relatively ordinary, not enough to join the workshop. We only recruit elites."

Zhou Jing was not surprised and asked: "Can I make a bottle of potion and actually show my level?"

"There is no need for this." The old man still shook his head: "If you have a high level, we will know. Since you have not been here for a long time, you should get familiar with this place first."

After saying that, the old man turned his head back to the workshop, not wanting to continue wasting his words on Zhou Jing.

In fact, he came out to deal with Zhou Jing, just with the idea of ​​sending others, and he was too lazy to tell Zhou Jing his name.

Every year, many foreign craftsmen come to apply to join the Imperial Workshop, which is commonplace.

Too many craftsmen want to join the workshop. Every year there are a large number of people waiting to be selected. The workshop basically refuses strange craftsmen who come to the house actively, and rarely accepts such unknown outsiders... unless they are famous in the industry.

The biggest source of newcomers in the workshop every year is actually the students trained internally and the apprentices brought by each workshop member. Because they are clear about their character and ability, they are more at ease to use.

The normal way for outsiders to join the workshop is actually to find a workshop member. When he is an apprentice, he will get the moon first and become half of the "personal person" in the workshop. Strangers will suffer innately, but this is also common sense.

In the eyes of the old man, "Bill" who came to the door was just another young man who was trying his luck with a whimsical idea. He was no different from others. After confirming the conditions, he decided to turn it off. There was no need to test the actual operation level.

Seeing this, the guards came up to drive people away, but they were not rude. They just advised: "Okay, the workshop will not recruit people casually. Don't wander around, go back."

Zhou Jing was not surprised, and joining the workshop was not smooth, which was also one of the expected results.

Even though the level of civilization is quite primitive, the Empire Workshop is in a sense the National Academy of Sciences, and you cannot enter as long as you want to. After all, as long as you want to learn pharmacy, you can learn some basics, not as high as the threshold of the alien beast hunter.

His eyes rolled, he took out a few silver coins from his arms, quietly stuffed them into the hands of the guards, and said kindly: "Brothers, I want to ask, how can I join the workshop?"

Several guards suddenly lit up.

This person is good, sensible, and can handle it.

The guards silently put away the silver coins, and were not stingy with information, and started chatting.

They have been watching the door at the Imperial Workshop all year round, so they naturally know a lot of things.

"I see a lot of people like you every year. I feel that I have a good level and can join the workshop. How can it be so easy?"

"Not counting those apprentices, thirteen people who came to the house this year were taken in by the workshop. It sounds like a lot, right? But there are more people who were rejected, at least two hundred people."

"The workshop only recruits elites from the outside, but what is considered elites? Of course, it is famous in one field. How do you think these thirteen people have made it through their own level? Hehe, there is no one inside talking, but as the people in the workshop hear more, their fame will naturally become more popular."

The guards talked about the mountains. If they had another cigarette, they would be the guards and security guards who were chatting.

Zhou Jing thought something.

It takes fame for outsiders to join the workshop, and the most feasible way for ordinary people is to get to know some workshop members, establish good relationships with them, get in circles, praise each other, and then pass on their word of mouth to let more members in the workshop know about their number one person.

As long as your business level is not bad, you can get the qualification for internal recommendations when the time is right.

"Circle culture is indeed a human nature. If there is a relationship, there will be a circle, and it is impossible to eliminate it at all."

Zhou Jing curled his lips.

Maybe there will be workshop members who will turn this internal recommendation into an industry, collect money and make some extra money.

Although I am not short of money and have eloquence and qualifications, I am not afraid of socializing, but I don’t like this practice in my heart. If I don’t want to say it, I have to look at the face and flatter it.

If you have time to welcome and send off, it is better to study skills and invest at least to output.

"It's better to have some tough stuff."

Zhou Jing touched his chin.

If you gain a real reputation in the field of pharmacists in the capital by your ability, the workshop will even take the initiative to invite you to join, which will not only increase your daily income, but will also be more valued.

Saying goodbye to the guards and returning to his residence, Zhou Jing began to think about the plan and secretly analyzed:

"If you want to make a name for yourself, one is to be innovative in technology, and the second is to be recognized by more people, that is, there is a market... I have the talent of [pharmacist], the success rate and quality of the drug production are higher, and the [item analysis function], which may be able to improve the formula?"

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, took out a notebook to write and draw, wrote down more than a dozen recipes he had mastered, and pondered in his heart: spanstyle>gu/spanstyle>

"Other pharmacists need to constantly try and error, fail again and again, and may not succeed in the end. However, my analysis function can grasp the subtle changes in the material during production, and intuitively obtain the properties of the herbal medicine, and directly discover the conflicting or fusion parts..."

This feeling is like someone else can only explore the medicine when making it, while you are like a novice help mode. Bubbles keep popping up during production, prompting what you can put, how much to put, and adjust the finished product results at any time...

As long as you know enough herbs, the more detailed the prompts will be, and there are a lot of arrangements and combinations.

"The auxiliary function is really a magical skill."

Zhou Jing was happy. If he only relies on the [Pharmacy] skills, he would have to upgrade to at least several levels to be qualified if he wanted to improve the formula.

In the next few days, Zhou Jing went to the market to buy a large amount of herbs and stocked them up at home to study new recipes in seclusion.

He mainly focuses on three formulas, namely two common potions: curative medicine and energy potion, as well as the hunter potion for pain relief.

If you want to gain fame quickly, you have to open up the market. The two general medicines he deliberately selected are the products that ordinary people need the most.

The king capital is very big, and there will always be some minor illnesses. Everyone likes the medicine for the treatment. For the sake of the health, they naturally have to buy high-quality ones.

As for energy potion, drinking a bottle of energy can make you strong, many of them buy from wealthy people, who like to talk about love.

As for hunter potions, they are intended to attract hunters’ attention. Although the market for hunters is not large, they are more "authoritative". After all, they are closely related to workshops and fame is easier to spread to workshops.

"And if Jason brings goods, as long as he gets high-quality hunter potion, he will be paid attention to all the imperial hunters in minutes." Zhou Jing thought to himself and smiled.

...

After a few days of experimenting, Zhou Jing finally changed the formula of three agents and added some catalytic ingredients to increase the effect of the agent by more than 30%.

The optimization of the formula not only improves the quality, but also allows the three agents to produce new effects by adding auxiliary herbs.

The curative potion additionally improves healing power, the energy potion reduces side effects, and the sensitivity is increased, and the pain relief potion improves physical recovery.

However, better results require more herbs, and the cost increases, which is inevitable.

But he didn't lose at all.

Because normal pharmacists pay attention to success rate when making pharmacies, even pharmacists with a level of several levels higher than him cannot guarantee a 100% success rate.

Moreover, if the portion is well controlled, the perfect effect can be achieved and a "strong" potion that is better than ordinary potions can be made. However, a normal pharmacist may not be able to make a "strong" potion in ten times... Although they also have measurement tools, the same type of herbs also have individual differences such as year, quality, nutrition, and growth environment, which are difficult to judge carefully. Even if the amount added is controlled, there will be subtle differences.

However, through the item analysis function, Zhou Jing completely found the best material ratio for each formula, which can maintain almost zero errors, and can also intuitively discover the individual differences of each herb, and calculate a more suitable portion.

Not only is the success rate of making potions nearly 100%, it can also ensure that the probability of making "strong" potions reaches more than 50%.

After a while, although the cost of formula has increased, there is almost no failure loss, and the profit margin has become larger.

After using a time-travel cycle, Bill was asked to repeat the work and prepare a lot of potions. Then Zhou Jing went out to go out to inspect the location and prepared a store.

Residents of the Wangdu rarely buy potions sold privately, and having a store can make people feel at ease.

It costs money to improve the formula, manufacture inventory and rent shops. The three hundred silver coins I borrowed had already spent, so Zhou Jing asked Jason to get four hundred silver coins as funds.

Jason, a hunter, rarely uses money, and just uses it to support the Apostle No. 3 Bill in entrepreneurship.

Because of the abundant funds, there is no need to find a dilapidated remote place, but rent a shop directly on a crowded street in the stove area for a high price.

He temporarily hired two coolies to clean the store, and Zhou Jing put the potion on the shelves.

He restrained his desire to raise prices and gave the drug a standard price.

Although setting a high price can attract attention, the residents of this world have simple intuition and very solid needs. They only consume things that can be afforded and do not use the high price marketing style.

He has studied the market and found that high quality and low price are the mainstream strategy in the pharmacist industry, and those that are good and expensive have no market.

The hunter group is generous and is a group of kids who only buy good ones.

However, in order to gain fame and avoid being regarded as breaking industry rules, Zhou Jing decided to act normally.

After packing up the house, Zhou Jing clapped his hands, looked at the orderly pharmacy shop, nodded with satisfaction, and was quite excited.

"You can open the door to do business... I hope you can sell it."

...

A new pharmacy shop was quietly opened in the bustling street of the stove area, with the wooden sign saying "Bill pharmacy shop".

Because the location is very good, on the first day of opening, many nearby residents noticed it and were curious to enter the store and found that only three kinds of potions were sold in the store, and the proportion of potions was large.

Although the passenger flow is not small, everyone just came in and took a walk around, and no one bought the potion for the time being.

The residents of Wangdu are naturally worried about the newly opened pharmacy shop. The pharmacy shop that has not accumulated a reputation has no business, which is the norm in the industry.

The owner is a young man who looks quite friendly. He is quite enthusiastic and speaks nicely. The residents of the royal capital who come in are happy to talk to him.

But being young means being inexperienced, and he is still a foreigner, not a familiar pharmacist, so everyone is even more afraid to buy it, and they are all waiting for the first try.

This situation of looking at it and not buying it has lasted for several days.

Until the fifth day, a turning point appeared.

A hunter who looks strong in aura becomes the first consumer and buys a powerful bottle of pain relief potion.
