Astral Apostle Chapter 73: Entered the factory

Because Zhou Jing's daily production is limited, it's hard to get a medicine now. Before the door opens every day, there are people queuing up outside the door to occupy a seat. Even Zhou Jing has to say hello to the crowd to squeeze in.

On this day, Bill's pharmacy was open for business as usual. As usual, the door was crowded with customers.

Zhou Jing sat behind the counter and collected money one by one, keeping accounts with ease.

At this moment, it was the turn of an elegantly dressed mustache, holding a bottle of pain relief potion in his hand.

The man looked at Zhou Jing's young face, and suddenly said:

"Did you learn the new recipe from others, or did you improve the hunter potion recipe yourself?"

Zhou Jing didn't raise his head: "It doesn't matter what I say, it depends on which one you believe."

Moustache was taken aback, then laughed: "It seems that I am not the first person to ask this question."

Zhou Jing raised his eyes and shrugged his shoulders: "Usually when I say I improved it, others will show an expression that you deserve it. After all, I am so young. Once I say that I learned it from others, They will feel that it is true."

Moustache nodded. When he saw Zhou Jing so young, his first reaction was the same. In the workshop, many pharmacists had the same idea.

But at this time, like the senior management of the workshop, he believed that these three potions were all improved by Zhou Jing himself.

It's actually not difficult to make a new formula, because you just need to throw in different herbs, but you can't control the final product. The real difficulty lies in improving the existing formula. It is difficult to specify the research and development goals in the specified direction. It is necessary to enhance the original effect and reduce side effects.

At this time, the people in line behind were in a hurry.

"What are you talking about, should you buy it or not?"

"There are so many people waiting, can you hurry up!"

"Don't even think about bargaining. We don't have the time to wait for you. If you don't have the money, go!"

Hearing this, Mustache coughed in embarrassment, and was no longer curious to inquire, straightened his back, and said seriously:

"I am Sura, an expert-level pharmacist certified by the Imperial Workshop, specializing in hunter potions. I am here this time to invite you on behalf of the workshop... Bill, do you want to join the Imperial Workshop?"

After the voice fell, the noisy shop suddenly fell silent.

Many anxious guests looked at this person in surprise, their temper instantly improved, and they dared not make mistakes.

An expert pharmacist certified by the empire is not an ordinary person, and has a lot of background.

The evaluation of pharmacists, blacksmiths and other craftsmen by the people is very vague, but the Imperial Workshop has a certification system for pharmacists, which is divided into four levels. The lowest is apprentices who have not yet graduated from the teacher, and the most common is standard pharma Teacher - Most workshop members are at this level.

Only those who have reached a sufficient level of skill in a certain field and made innovative achievements, such as improving formulas, developing new technologies, etc., are eligible to be rated as experts... It can be understood as having one or more skills Patents of a certain value.

As for the top master level, you must make groundbreaking results, which are more demanding than the expert level, and are certified by the imperial canon. At this level, even tribal blood relatives and court ministers will treat each other with courtesy and make friends with each other warmly.

However, although everyone present respected him, they still couldn't help showing weird expressions.

Even expert pharmacists were alarmed by aphrodisiacs?

Imperial Workshop invited Bill to join. Could it be that they want to expand their business and enter the aphrodisiac industry?

Zhou Jing's eyes moved, and he said, "If I join the Imperial Workshop, what will I be responsible for researching?"

"Of course hunter potion, you are very talented in this area."

Mustache Sura hurriedly replied, he didn't want others to misunderstand that the workshop Rabiel was making aphrodisiacs, and he couldn't afford to lose that person.

Zhou Jing pondered for a while, showing a troubled expression: "But the formula I know is limited..."

"This is not a problem." Sura responded immediately: "When you enter the workshop, there will be manufacturing tasks, research and development tasks, and some formulas that you have not learned before. The workshop will teach you for free. If you want to learn freely For a formula, as long as you complete the various target tasks, you can accumulate merit and exchange for the knowledge you want to learn."

... Please tell me the truth, is this set of things designed for you by life forms from different planes?

Zhou Jing thought about it in his heart, but his face remained calm, pretending to think, and said: "I have no objection, it is my honor to join the workshop... But I have a small condition. I don't want Benefits, but some ideas for future research directions.”

"You said." Sura was curious.

"Universal potions and hunter potions are not my interest. In fact, I am very interested in different blood potions. I want to study this direction in the future. I wonder if I can change the research route after I enter the workshop?"

"As long as you prove that you have a sufficient level in a field, the workshop will not limit your research route, and you can apply for it. If you want to study the blood medicine, you should accumulate more merits and learn relevant knowledge by yourself Already." Su La agreed very readily.

This kind of thing is very common in the workshop. The importance of each field varies. The more critical the project, the more attention it receives. There are differences in benefits. Naturally, many people want to jump to better fields. There is also competition in the workshop.

As long as you don't apply to study aphrodisiacs, then everything is fine...

"Then I am very happy to join the workshop."

Zhou Jing immediately stood up, showed an amicable smile, and shook hands with Sura enthusiastically.

This was his goal, and now he finally attracted the people from the workshop, he was relieved and secretly excited.

"Okay, come with me to the workshop, let's go through some formalities." Sura smiled.

Zhou Jing nodded, turned his head and told the guards beside him: "Brother, help me to go to the door and shout, we won't accept new customers today, let them go away."

Seeing that Zhou Jing became a member of the workshop, the attitude of the guards became a lot more respectful, and he obeyed the instructions and went outside to persuade people to leave.

Zhou Jing quickly settled the bills for the customers in the store, then took a wooden sign, scribbled down the slogan "Closed today", hung it on the door, locked the door, and met Su La in full view. leave together.

The residents of the royal capital waiting outside looked at each other in blank dismay and had no choice but to leave. The news of Bill's joining the workshop also spread with witnesses.

…

Zhou Jing and Su La chatted while walking, asking about the situation in the workshop.

Although I have used Jason to inquire, the information I have come into contact with as a hunter and as a craftsman is naturally different.

Soon, he learned the general situation inside the workshop from Sura.

Ordinary workshop members are not lifelong. There is an assessment system inside the Imperial Workshop, and workshop members have indicators. If they fail to complete the annual manufacturing and research and development tasks, then their merits will be deducted. Once the merits are deducted to an intolerable level , will be dismissed from the workshop.

Only expert-level and master-level craftsmen in various fields do not need to complete hard targets and can enjoy benefits for life.

Although I have recently been "famous" in the capital and improved a hunter potion, when entering the Imperial Workshop, I can only skip the apprentice level and start from the standard level.

'No wonder the Imperial Workshop didn't actually test my level. As long as I didn't complete the quota and my merits were badly deducted, I would automatically pack up and leave. ’ Zhou Jing understood.

In addition to completing the indicators, there are several ways to get credit, such as taking the initiative to take on more manufacturing or R&D tasks, or making innovative contributions.

So the workshop is not completely based on seniority, it is still energetic and competitive, especially for hunter-related projects, the priority should be to meet the needs of hunters, so it is even more important to be sloppy.

'This kind of environment that relies on ability to make achievements is quite suitable for me. At least I can get ahead if I have ability, and I don’t have to mix in circles every day. This kind of people should be a minority...'

Zhou Jing blinked.

With the ability of the third apostle and the characteristics of the apostle's workaholic, isn't it possible to crush the competitors to death every minute?

That's the decision, **** it!

It's just a pity that the goal of life is not to be a technical job, and the major is not suitable... Let's accumulate skills first, and it shouldn't delay making money.

Zhou Jing suddenly thought of something: "By the way, after joining the workshop, do I have to hand in the new recipes I have mastered?"

As soon as Su La heard it, she knew what Zhou Jing was worried about, and said with a smile: "Of course the workshop recommends handing it in, you don't have to worry, the workshop will compensate you."

Zhou Jing asked carefully and probably understood the situation.

The Terra Empire needs to collect all kinds of formulas, and they will not let go of the new formulas developed by the workshop members.

However, in order to motivate the craftsmen, so that the craftsmen do not work hard and do not innovate, the Imperial Workshop did not adopt the method of free handover, but respected the "intellectual property rights" of the craftsmen, and did not declare that the achievements of the employees were completely complete because they occupied the means of production. It belongs to a workshop... although many lords do this.

Imperial Workshop will pay for the new formula and open it up for learning internally. When others apply to learn this new formula, the creator can also get merit and monetary rewards.

But on the sales side, the Terra Empire in the primitive era doesn't have that much ability to track, so there is no sales share.

Generally speaking, handing in the formula is to give up the possibility of monopoly, and you may lose money, in exchange for achievements in the workshop, more knowledge and a higher status.

Imperial Workshop pays attention to Zhou Jing's improved pain relief potion formula and his own ability. As for whether the "aphrodisiac" formula should be handed over, the workshop does not insist... ", they still have to take care of face.

'In this case, I should keep the energy potion formula for myself. This business has the potential to develop into a monopoly level, and it is just used to complete my life goals. ’ Zhou Jing’s eyeballs rolled around.

The two chatted and walked. They didn't go directly to the Imperial Hunter's station. Instead, they came to the Imperial Workshop branch in the Furnace District—in fact, this is the headquarters, because the research projects are all regular products, so it seems unimportant. .

But it is located in the capital, so all the files of the workshop members are stored, and anyone who joins must register here.

The two came to the door to ask the guards to report, and soon someone came out to greet them, and they looked familiar.

Zhou Jing took a closer look and was immediately amused. It happened to be the little old man who rejected him last time.

The little old man Pi Dian Dian came to Sura, said hello, turned around and saw Zhou Jing, and was taken aback for a moment, feeling familiar.

"This is..."

Seeing this, Zhou Jing couldn't help reminding him kindly: "It's me, Bill, we met before, I came to apply to join the workshop, and you rejected me."

"Ah, it's you..."

The little old man vaguely remembered, and suddenly his eyes widened, his face full of surprise:

"You are that aphrodisiac master Bill? I thought it was the same name... What are you doing here? You are not here to apply to join again, your conditions are still not good."

Sula listened and understood the situation. This kind of thing is too common, so he coughed and reminded: "The Imperial Workshop where the hunter is stationed decided to invite Bill to join. This time, come here to register the file. Please bring us Let's go."

"The workshop invited him?!"

The little old man was stunned.

Has the Imperial Hunter Workshop degenerated to this extent?

No, it's impossible. Since the workshop can take the initiative to invite, it must be that this person has special talents, and he still has a clear understanding of this.

Thinking of this, the little old man was suddenly embarrassed.

He thought that Zhou Jing had used aphrodisiacs to make a name for himself in the capital, so he felt that he was someone special, so he ran over to apply to join the workshop again.

He has always sneered at this crooked way, thinking that this way he can join the workshop, what a dream!

Unexpectedly, it was the workshop who took the initiative to invite people to join... It's embarrassing, but it would be wrong,

Zhou Jing grinned: "Then can I go in this time?"

"Oh, please come in!" The little old man blushed as if waking up from a dream, and hurried out of the way.

Zhou Jing chuckled, and then walked into the workshop, he just teased him, he acted according to the rules, and he didn't want to keep molesting.

There is no advanced identity check in this era, so he followed Su La and quickly registered his own file.

Then the two of them turned out of the city and headed for the Imperial Hunter Workshop.

Successfully entering the familiar residence of the Imperial Hunters, Zhou Jing felt as if he had returned home. Along the way, he saw a group of familiar hunters wrestling and fighting on the training ground. There was even Jason among them, hugging a hunter and messing around. fall.

Sensing Zhou Jing, Jason cast his gaze from afar to confirm that Zhou Jing didn't call him, so he didn't go up to meet him, and continued to ravage his opponent on his own.

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze~IndoMTL.com~ and Sura entered the Imperial Workshop in the residence, and entered the manufacturing area for the first time, which is equivalent to the "back kitchen", which is not open to hunters.

The pharmacy area and the forging area are separated from each other. A large number of craftsmen are working in full swing, filled with the noise of boiling medicine, blacksmithing, and shouting, like a market.

Further inside, there is an animal prison, where a group of anesthetized animals are locked up. On the workbench next to it, which looks like an assembly line, a large group of technicians dressed like chefs are using various blood-stained tools that look similar to torture tools. Skilled in processing all kinds of exotic animal materials.

Sura laughed:

"This is the core area of ​​the Imperial Workshop. Although it is a bit noisy, you will like it after you get used to it."

"Yes, is it..."

The corner of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched slightly as he watched this quite visual scene.

Good guy, I have entered the factory.
