076 Breaking Attributes(1/2)
After deliberately revealing his ability to analyze items, things changed significantly.
As the news spread like wildfire, the entire workshop soon knew about Zhou Jing's "talent".
In the past few days, Zhou Jing could always feel the complex emotions in the eyes of other craftsmen. They no longer looked at King Juan, but more like looking at an unattainable existence.
Many craftsmen have vaguely heard rumors that the workshop has decided to let Zhou Jing take on a special position in the future and become the workshop's only designated pharmaceutical tester.
From now on, all potions made by others will be handed over to Zhou Jing for tasting and measurement, which means that he is no longer just a craftsman, but an "important research equipment" of the imperial workshop, superior to everyone else.
As long as this talent is not lost, this Bill will always have such a special status.
This is not a matter of envy and jealousy anymore. The unattainable talent gap makes people lose the energy to catch up. It is as if Bill has suddenly changed from a roll king who is hated and hated by others around him. Tell the story.
Zhou Jing didn't pay too much attention to the ideas of his colleagues in the workshop. After showing off his "talent", he submitted the Sword-tailed Eagle potion, and by the way, he took on another task of improving the alien blood potion, and continued to brush up the indicators and buy more formulas for free.
After a few days of this, Zhou Jing was approached by the senior management of the workshop again, saying that they wanted to take him to meet someone.
"Who wants to see me?"
Zhou Jing put down the herbs he was grinding and turned to look at the others with a curious tone.
The workshop owner forced a smile: "It's the king who wants to see you."
King! Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up.
His hard work finally attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
But it was King Terra who came... Not only did he catch a fish, he also caught a big fish!
It took three apostles to travel back and forth, and after more than a year in the world of alien beasts, I finally met the ruler of the country.
Coming into contact with the core of power, finally stepping into a new level...
For a time, many thoughts went through Zhou Jing's mind, and he deliberately made an expression of fear and honor, just like a commoner who saw the ruler of the country for the first time, and said nervously:
"What should I do when I meet the king?"
"Don't be afraid, just speak normally. The king just wants to know more about you."
The senior management of the workshop came to comfort him in turn. Seeing that Zhou Jing's mood had calmed down, they took him away.
A group of people walked out of the workshop and came to the main house of the empire hunter station. There were a large number of guards guarding the place, and there were also many strong different-blood warriors standing guard. They were all royal city guards and royal guards, and there was not a single hunter.
On the training ground opposite the main house, many hunters were sitting, standing or squatting, looking at this side from a distance without any extra movement.
There is a street between the two sides. They are not facing each other, but they are clearly distinct.
Zhou Jing saw Jason's figure among the crowd at the training ground, and then deliberately looked away. Without looking back, he followed the workshop executives into the main room in a hurry, leaving only his back to the people outside.
There were already many people standing in the room, many of them dressed as guards. Zhou Jing saw at a glance the person sitting upright on the main seat, a middle-aged man who was not angry and proud, wearing a crown on his head.
"This is the king?"
Zhou Jing had a thought in his mind, and after looking around for a while, he subconsciously glanced left and right, and found that there were several personal guards standing next to the king, all wearing the same style of steel armor, covered with the royal family's coat of arms, which was quite exquisite.
One of them is quite conspicuous. She is the only female among the guards. She has long lake-green curly hair tied behind her head. She looks about thirty or forty years old. Her skin is fair and her charm is still there. Her face seems to be somewhat similar to that of the king.
Before she walked in, the female guard had been staring at a dwarf not far away, but it was Imperial Hunter Commander Kleiber, who was also present.
While he was observing, the owner of the workshop next to him quickly stepped forward, saluted the king, and introduced:
"Your Majesty the King, this is Bill...Bill, this is the King of the Terra Empire, the glorious Tarn bloodline, Your Majesty Becky Tarn!"
"Uh, hello, king?"
Zhou Jing pretended to be in a hurry, imitating the workshop owner and performing a poor etiquette.
Seeing this, Becky smiled, stood up from her seat, extended her palms as a welcome gesture, and said calmly:
"No need to be formal, please sit down, Bill."
The attendants came up to serve, and everyone sat down one after another.
There were no other palace ministers present, but the workshop owner still introduced several important figures to Zhou Jing, and everyone nodded to Zhou Jing.
Soon, the workshop owner introduced the two people Zhou Jing had noticed before.
"...This is the commander of the Empire's Hunters, Kreb. He is one of the only two five-time strengtheners in the Empire."
Creber smiled and showed his kindness to Zhou Jing: "This is our first meeting. Let's communicate more in the future."
We are old acquaintances...but that's under Jason's identity.
This is Bill's identity. This is the first time I've met him. Naturally, people can't recognize his true face behind the disguise of an apostle.
Zhou Jing smiled secretly and pretended to say hello.
At this time, the workshop owner looked at the previous female guard, coughed, and said: "This is the royal guard chief, Irene Tarn. She is another five-time different blood enhancer in the empire."
Zhou Jing's eyes moved.
Sure enough it was her.
These days, Zhou Jing inquired and found out that another five-time strengthener of the empire had this name and was from the Tarn family... but he didn't know if she was the king's sister or younger sister.
Eileen nodded slightly towards him and said nothing.
Zhou Jing took the initiative and said, "Hello, Captain Eileen."
"Yeah." Irene's tone was calm, her charming face expressionless, rather aloof.
After receiving a response, Zhou Jing quietly opened the panel and activated detection.
The next moment, Irene's attributes were displayed on the panel.
[Attributes: physical fitness 80 (second level max), resistance 70, perception 50, spirit 22, energy 15]
"The total of all attributes is higher than Kreb, but the total physical resistance is not as good as Kreb." Zhou Jing made a simple calculation.
The two strongest people in the entire Terra Empire are in this room.
I don’t know who will win in a fight... Let’s vote for Kleiber.
Zhou Jing tested the king again, and the results obtained were not ordinary, and were at the level of the first enhancement.
After a brief introduction, Becky finally spoke:
"Bill, I heard about your talent. When did you discover that you had this ability?"
"A long time ago, when I was a child..."
Zhou Jing calmed down and said the words he had prepared.
This time the king came to meet in person. On the one hand, it was to get to know the talented people, and on the other hand, it was for inspection. Most of the time, Becky asked questions and Zhou Jing answered.
Fortunately, I didn't take a surname this time, so I can cope with others, but it's impossible to deal with the king.
The origin he made up for himself was that he was born in a village that had been destroyed by alien beasts. The name of the village was a rumor that Jason had heard during his journey. Because the villagers were so scattered, it was difficult to prove his identity.
identity.
So far, no one here has any doubts. This kind of background is not uncommon.
When the king was observing him, Zhou Jing was also observing the king. Becky was not the amiable type. He was full of energy and majesty, but it did not make people feel oppressive. He was a very imposing person, making people feel
I couldn't help but sit upright in front of him.
Although the other party was just the ruler of a primitive country, Zhou Jing still felt the so-called aura of a superior for the first time... He was just an ordinary person in the main world. Apart from watching news about heads of state on TV, he had never been exposed to it in his life.
Such a powerful person.
In addition, Zhou Jing was also observing whether there were any alien life forms among the people present. Unfortunately, he did not find that unique temperament. Either there was no one there, or it was hidden too well.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Becky roughly understood Zhou Jing's "situation", stopped asking questions, changed the subject, and encouraged:
"Your talent is a gift from nature and has extraordinary significance. Don't waste your talent."
"I have always been willing to serve the empire." Zhou Jing said wisely.
Becky nodded: "Well... maybe in some time, the empire will need you to participate in some important research. Before that, I hope you can focus on the alien blood potion. If you need anything, just ask."
Is this a hint to me not to take any more energy potions? Zhou Jing's heart moved slightly.
Speaking of which, what important research was the king specifically talking about? Could it be the more confidential and core "cutting-edge technologies" that the workshop said?
"What kind of research is it?" Zhou Jing asked directly.
Becky pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"It's okay to tell you now. The empire has been trying its best to research several new types of alien blood potions. One is a compound potion that combines the enhancements of multiple alien beasts into one potion.
The second is a special alien blood potion, which can inherit the special abilities of certain alien beasts, such as fire breathing, electric discharge, etc.
The third type is the mild alien blood potion. Today's alien blood enhancement effect is very good, but it is too easy to cause death. Every year, a large number of hunter apprentices who painstakingly train die in vain. Perhaps you can try to weaken the effect of the potion and increase the power of one enhancement.
It is divided into multiple enhancements to reduce the mortality rate and allow ordinary people to use it safely. In this way, although the hunters become weaker, the number will increase unprecedentedly, and no one will die suddenly again. Maybe there is no need to be afraid in the future.
The threat of alien beasts.”
As he spoke, a look of emotion appeared on Becky's face, as if she was feeling sorry for those who died suddenly due to the exotic blood potion.
Hearing this, Creb couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, there are so many great young men who endured loneliness and pain and trained hard year after year in order to become hunters, but in the end they died in vain without ever setting foot on the battlefield against alien beasts.
In the process of strengthening, years of training and expectations, in the end, they can only be exchanged for a violent death. Every time I look at their corpses that can't close their eyes, I feel extremely sad."
To be continued...
