When Zheng Ran walked up to him, the hunched undead was picking out a dry branch from the pile of potions, and his yellow and faint eyes looked at the things in his hand in a daze. Only a layer of cracked leather was attached to his dry face, and the cracked part could be seen exposing the white bones.

Pharmacist Carol

Level 20NPC (Pharmacy Tutor)

Health: 1500/1500

Status: Passive attack, invincible

Skill: Unknown

Weakness: Unknown

Description: Pharmacists in Shadows.

Before Chengran could speak, the other party said first: "How much do you know about the surface world? How much do you know about this branch? Of course you don't know. So I'm studying whether this thing called a branch can become a medicinal material. Yes, can it become a medicinal material..."

At that moment, Cheng Ran ignored the scattered thoughts in the pharmacist and directly expressed his purpose of this time: "I want to learn pharmacy!"

Unexpectedly, a trace of resentment flashed in the pharmacist's eyes and said, "Is this your attitude, boy? You have to... no, learn pharmacy from the best pharmacist in the Shadows. Should you politely call me a mentor?"

Cheng Ran couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, he was caught by this NPC's cold eye. In the game, NPC's favorability towards players is also very important. On the one hand, the favorability of NPC comes from the player's affinity value, and on the other hand, players also have to take the initiative to win the favorability of NPC. Maybe the favorability will be higher, and the hidden tasks accompanied by mysterious rewards will be created.

After looking at the affinity value you have at this time, from the shabby single digits, you will definitely be greeted by some NPCs, and you don’t know how to please the other party and don’t even have the task to do it.

Regarding affinity, players will randomly obtain corresponding affinity values ​​after completing a task. Of course, sometimes, it depends on character and luck.

Chengran has never paid attention to this aspect, but occasionally heard from other players that have received hidden tasks. Although they don’t have much hope, this is also something worth noting. Maybe one day, it will be awesome to be able to make an NPC happy and assign him a hidden task, and then get a legendary equipment reward or something. That would be great!

No matter where you are or who you want to be advised by others, you should be more sincere. What's more, the pharmacist in front of you is his future life skills mentor, so you should not offend him.

Once on the forum, a player made such a comment, and Chengran felt it was very insightful. It said: "In the game, even if you offend your enemies, betray your brothers, lose friends, abandon your lover, and betray your lover, and betray any evil deeds, remember not to offend any NPC..."

With the lessons learned from the past, Cheng Ran felt that pleasing every NPC in the game must not be ignored.

So Cheng Ran bowed deeply to the old undead in front of him and said respectfully: "Please forgive me for being rude at the beginning, dear mentor! I came here to learn pharmacy from you."

The old pharmacist looked at Cheng Ran and coughed a few times. The yellow fire became much warmer: "Okay, young boy. Seeing you are so sincere, I would like to forgive you for your unreasonableness just now. But if you think about it carefully, you seem to be the first guy to ask me to learn pharmacy."

At this time, Carol seemed very excited, and he said with a chorus, "It's so great. There are not many young people as eager to learn now. Well, even if you ask me sincerely, I will teach you the profound pharmacist Carol."

"Thank you, mentor!" Cheng Ran hurriedly thanked this NPC who changed his face faster than turning a book.

"But before teaching you pharmacy, you must learn to collect medicinal materials. I just happen to have a few medicinal materials to collect. Young boy, would you like to collect for me?"

"Very happy!"

"System prompt: You have accepted the life skills task [Collection of Medicinal Materials]. Task description: Pharmacist Carroll asked you to help him collect medicinal materials in a deserted cemetery in the city. [Corrots of Root] × 5, [Soul Grass] × 5, [Plague Branch] × 5. After the collection is completed, hand them over to the pharmacist Carroll, and he will teach you pharmacist."

Very good, I received the task. And the medicinal material collection land Chengran was also found. Now, start working towards the goal of the great alchemist.

Cheng Ran was very clear about every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree in the Shadow City. No matter what, he was still at the 30th level, and he would never be able to find the place he should have found.

Soon, Chengran found the small desert cemetery. The stone tablets inside were decaying, and occasionally a few white corpses could be seen in the dilapidated coffin, most of which were covered by black soil and various black and gray plants.

Relying on super insight and powerful exploration ability, Cheng Ran quickly found the three mission medicinal materials in those messy plants. If he did not have super insight skill, he could only collect them one by one from these plants, and he didn't know how long it would take.

When I came to the side of an inconspicuous dead grass, I stretched out my dry bones and my sharp fingers easily inserted into the soil. The next moment, the grass was pulled up by roots.

"System prompt: You have collected medicinal materials [Corrotum Root] (Level 1 Medicinal Material)×1, quality: coarse quality."

"System prompt: Congratulations on learning skills: [Collection] Current skill level 1, current proficiency level 1/500. Skill description: Materials can be collected from plants or animal corpses. The higher the proficiency level, the higher the collection success rate, the greater the collection quantity, and the greater the probability of high quality acquisition."

Now that you have the collection skills, you should collect as much material as possible. On the one hand, it can improve your skill proficiency. On the other hand, these three medicinal materials are the raw materials for making primary healing potions. Primary healing potions are also commonly known as Xiaohong Bottle by players. They can instantly recover 100 health points in the early stage. The soul potions sold in the store are all soul potions that can recover certain lives within a certain period of time. Xiaohong Bottle is definitely much more powerful.

At this stage, the small red bottle will definitely be in short supply in the market. Players at level 10 will have a maximum health value of about 300. The price of primary red medicine with 100 points of life will be very high at this time. A bottle is about 2 silver coins, which is four times the price of soul potion. And it is worth mentioning that in dungeons, plants are extremely scarce, and even first-level medicinal materials are difficult to collect, unless there are some dungeon scenes or elite monster refreshing places.

In half an hour, Chengran collected all the first-class medicinal materials in the cemetery. A group of medicinal materials was 50, and finally, the three medicinal materials, such as rotten root, soul-grassing grass and plague branches, were only collected in three groups, which was 150 each.

This cemetery is a collection site for beginners to do tasks. The materials produced were very limited, but now after being collected by Chengran, it will take a day to refresh it again. The materials here cannot meet Chengran's demand at all. It seems that to make a large amount of primary healing potion, you must find a special place for the production of the medicinal material.

So Chengran took the materials back and handed over the mission to Carol.

He handed the materials into the pharmacist's hands as much as possible, and the instructor twisted the potions with his dry fingers and smiled: "It's very good. You actually collected these medicinal materials. Now, you are my student. I will teach you pharmacy now, and you have to watch it!"

"System prompt: Congratulations on learning the current level of "Pharmaceutical Science", current proficiency level 1, current proficiency level 0/500. Skill description: You can make simple potions. The higher the proficiency level, the more the amount of potions you make will increase and have a 100% success rate."

"System prompt: Congratulations on getting the title of "Pharm Apprentice". Upgrading to the next level requires Pharmacy Level 3."

At this time, a transparent bottle appeared in Carol's hand, putting several potions in it. Then it swayed slowly, and then a ray of light flashed, and the bottle was already filled with light red liquid.

The old pharmacist smiled and handed his achievements to Chengran and said, "My dear student, learning is endless. If you have any requirements in the future, you can come to me at any time. Although this time it is free, it will be charged next time."

Looking at the pharmacist who looked like a profiteer, the only thing Cheng Ran could say was thanks.

〖Primary Healing Potion〗 (First Potion): It can instantly restore health value of 100.

Well, it’s really a little red bottle. Taking advantage of the priceless market, I made more money and made a lot of money. However, the materials I currently have are not enough to make a large amount of production, so Cheng Ran believes that the most urgent task is to transfer the job first.

The life career column has been activated at this time, so Cheng Ran opened it and checked it out:

Life Skills: [Collection] Current skill level 1, current proficiency level 455/500. Skill Description: Materials can be collected from plants or animal corpses. The higher the proficiency level, the higher the collection success rate, the greater the collection number, and the greater the probability of high-quality collection.

Life occupation: Pharmacist. Current level: Pharmacy apprentice (can make pharmacists from level one to two), possess skills: [Pharmacies] Current level 1, current proficiency 0/500. Skill description: You can make simple potions. The higher the proficiency, the more the amount of potions you make will increase, and there will be a 100% success rate...
