Astral Apostle Chapter 70: Getting into the room

The next afternoon, Zhou Jing took the initiative to invite Mali out for a meal.

Ma Li originally planned to drag the words, thinking of earning Zhou Jing's money with a one-shot deal, and then everyone broke up, but he didn't expect that he would treat him warmly.

To be honest, I was a little surprised and flattered.

In the past, the apprentices taught by... didn't end up angry and broke up. If it weren't for staying in the stove area with good law and order, and only cheating outsiders with no foundation, Mali guessed that he would have been sacked by someone. .

I didn't expect that with my own virtue, I would be able to enjoy this kind of treatment one day... His self-awareness is still very clear.

Anyway, there was a treat, so Mali simply closed the shop, and went to a well-known local tavern with Zhou Jing.

The two ordered a lot of dishes, kept refilling their glasses of wine, and drank while eating, and Mali soon became a little confused.

"Bill" was not bad in physical fitness and was still sober. Seeing that Ma Li was almost drunk, Zhou Jing inquired about the formula.

Mali suddenly became vigilant instinctively, prevaricated and perfunctory, and did not reveal his tone at all,

Even when he was drunk, his psychological defenses were still strong, he was stingy and sneered to himself.

Small sample, it turned out that he wanted to follow my formula, so he invited me to dinner, hum, don't even think about it...

Although the recipes Mali has mastered are all common potions and he knows quite a few pharmacists, he just doesn't want to give them unless he has real money.

Seeing that Mali was tight-lipped, Zhou Jing didn't inquire any more, and continued to pour wine for Mali, paying the bill generously, making the other party elated.

Drinking until the evening was close to the curfew, Zhou Jing helped the drunk Mali out of the tavern.

"Where is your home, I will take you back."

Zhou Jing asked in a low voice.

After studying with this person for a month, Ma Li never invited the apprentice to his home once, and he had to inquire about it himself.

Mali staggered when he walked, so he had to accept Zhou Jing's support, and opened his sleepy eyes to identify the direction and follow the directions.

The two walked through the winding alleyway, and soon came to a small house. Mali took out the key and opened the door, and then suddenly held the door frame to block the way, not intending to invite Zhou Jing in.

"I'm here, you go back by yourself." Mali said with a big tongue.

"Okay."

Zhou Jing nodded, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulders, strode into the room against him, hooked the door with his feet, and closed it.

Mali was startled, and wanted to pull Zhou Jing's arm away with both hands, but he couldn't shake the seemingly thin arm at all, and panicked: "You...what are you going to do? Get out quickly, I'm going to scream!"

After speaking, he made a gesture to shout, trying to attract the guards patrolling the street.

But the next moment, a big hand grabbed his neck, blocking his voice in his throat.

Zhou Jing lifted Mali with one hand and let his legs kick wildly in the air.

"Don't shout, or if I shake my hand, your neck will be broken."

Mali felt the gradual tightening of the neck, his face turned purple, and he quickly compromised like a quail.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put him down and brushed the dust off Mali's clothes with a smile.

"Yes, cooperate obediently, it will be good for you, and I won't hurt you if I get what I want."

"You...don't mess around."

Mali just sobered up, his lips were trembling, trembling like sifting chaff, he didn't have the same air as before.

He didn't expect that this smelly foreigner would have the guts to break into a house and rob him!

Mali couldn't help touching his neck that had been strangled with red marks, feeling flustered.

This thin and weak guy, why is his hand so strong? !

Because of Jason's relationship, Mali had preconceived ideas, and felt that Bill in front of him was a person with "endorsement", would not break the law easily, and was a decent person anyway.

As long as I don't do too much, it will be an economic dispute at most, and it will not rise to violence.

After all, this is the capital of the kingdom, and the hunters of the empire have to abide by the rules. Knowing a hunter by Zhou Jing just makes Mali feel troublesome, but he is not afraid of it... Who would be afraid of a group whose duty is to protect the people?

So Mali didn't expect Zhou Jing to dare to do such a thing at all. Now that Zhou Jing seems to be a wicked person, he is really afraid.

Zhou Jing dragged Mali around the room, and after making sure that there was only one person in the room, he put his arms around Mali's shoulders and said:

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about the formula of the potion in your hand, can you show it to me?"

"OK..."

How could Ma Li dare to say anything else? He took out a tattered notebook from the bookcase, and handed it to Zhou Jing tremblingly.

Zhou Jing opened it and took a look. It recorded Mali's experience in making potions over the years, and there were more than a dozen appendices of formulas.

Most of these formulas are common general-purpose potions, such as healing potions, refreshing potions, insecticides, etc. In addition, there are two kinds of hunter potions, which are to improve cardiopulmonary function and reduce pain sensation.

"Yo, you know quite a lot, no wonder you want to teach me." Zhou Jing read it carefully several times, silently wrote it down, and then put the notebook back on the bookshelf.

Mali didn't dare to answer, so he smiled embarrassingly.

"Okay, don't be so scared, I won't kill people casually." Zhou Jing patted him on the shoulder, hehe said: "Remember, today I just take you home and take care of you who are drunk , and nothing else happened."

"Understand..."

Of course Mali had no objection, and nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips: "Even if you want to report the crime, there is no evidence, and you hired me as an apprentice at an outrageous price. If others know that you have charged so much money, who do you think is more reasonable?"

"I...I didn't think so."

"That's right. You cheated me a lot of money. Since you have taught me, I won't ask you for the money. The potions I made these days also belong to you. If you still make a profit, treat it as a deal, and accept it when you see it. If you don’t know how to be satisfied and want to make trouble, I may be unlucky, but you will definitely understand the value of life.”

Hearing the words, Mali calmed down a bit, and suddenly realized that it made sense.

Essentially, I still made money, but I couldn't catch another person.

Although the value of those formulas exceeded Zhou Jing's contribution in the past month, they would not deprive him of his own knowledge if they were learned by others, and there would not be much real loss.

Seeing that Mali Congxin was satisfied, Zhou Jing patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, gave him another threatening warning, and then swaggered away.

Marie immediately collapsed on the chair, his chest heaved violently, his heart was pounding, and he felt like he was walking around the edge of death.

He couldn't help recalling the past month of getting along with each other. Zhou Jing acted like an obedient apprentice, which made him let his guard down, and he didn't show his fierce side until tonight.

I knew a month ago that I should have been firmer, calling out a higher price to scare this person away... Mali was annoyed, and only felt that he was leading a wolf into the house.

Although he is depressed, he certainly does not have the courage to cause trouble.

Provoking this villain again will only be unlucky. After admitting the loss, he can continue to enjoy his life. Now Mali just wants to end this relationship quickly and stop getting involved with Zhou Jing.

…

The next day, the two met again at the pharmacy. Zhou Jing smiled, as usual, as if nothing happened last night.

Mali's face was stiff, and he could only force a smile, not daring to treat Zhou Jing with the same attitude as before.

After spending a day in the weird atmosphere, Zhou Jing finally made a request to end the apprenticeship. Mali felt as if he had been pardoned, and couldn't wait to agree, so he almost drove him away with a broom.

Zhou Jing walked out of the pharmacy with the dog, looked back, and saw Mali standing by the door watching him off.

Aware of Zhou Jing's gaze, Mali hurriedly shrank his head, not daring to look any further.

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze and hooked the corner of his mouth.

My own level of pharmacy has reached Lv4 proficiency, and with more than a dozen formulas, I am already a qualified pharmacist. It only took one month to complete it quickly, and the benefits of adding relevant qualifications are really amazing.

In fact, according to the normal way, it is difficult to learn more than a dozen formulas so quickly. Even if the learning efficiency is high, a normal pharmacist can teach apprentices without a long probationary period. It is impossible to easily teach all the formulas. It took one or two years to learn more than a dozen kinds, and he didn't want to wait so long.

It's not suitable to do extravagant things with normal teachers. Even for people like Ma Li, Zhou Jing's methods are not too drastic. Although they charge money, the teaching is real.

Just use force, save the twists and turns of the normal way, and quickly get the knowledge you want, and nothing else is done to Mali. In the world of alien beasts, the fist is more practical and the most convenient.

"I already have the level of a pharmacist, and now I shouldn't be turned away when I go to the Imperial Workshop."

Zhou Jing walked on the street and pondered for a while, then quickly turned to the office of the Imperial Workshop, which was his goal, where the "high-tech" of the entire Terra Empire gathered.

…

At the same time, somewhere in the palace of the royal capital.

Roman strolled in the garden.

A confidant followed him and reported in a low voice:

"...The tribal lords from all over the country have replied, as long as there is a need, the plan can be implemented at any time."

Roman nodded, picked a leaf from the grass by the roadside, flipped it between his fingers, and said casually: "Let them wait, the time is not yet ripe, it is not a good opportunity to tear their faces, the empire now has the energy to send troops crusade."

The confidant nodded and said: "There is one more thing. Recently, the people we placed in the Imperial Workshop have heard that they seem to have made new progress in the research and development of the special abilities of the beasts."

Roman paused: "Oh?"

"Imperial Workshop has been researching a special kind of beast equipment, trying to use the special ability of the beast. Recently, it seems that a semi-finished product has been made. People from the Tarn royal family went to see it in person and blocked the news... We only found out that they named this equipment Miracle Armament.”

"I want to know the details, find out for me." Roman's tone was beyond doubt.

"Understood."

Roman paused, seemed to remember something, and asked again: "The research and development of the special blood medicine, how is the progress of the Imperial Workshop?"

"This is no progress~IndoMTL.com~ has never been able to overcome the technical difficulties, and it is impossible to inherit the special abilities of the alien beast through the alien blood potion."

"Well, keep paying attention, and let me know as soon as they make progress... especially to find out which artisan is driving the progress, this is a talent."

Roman said slowly.

At this moment, at the other end of the garden path, came a few well-dressed and noble youths, both men and women, laughing and playing.

"It is a direct blood relative of the Tarn royal family."

Roman secretly made a gesture to make his confidant back away.

Then, he controlled the fat on his face, burst into a friendly smile that couldn't fault it, and greeted him with a smile.

After three sentences, Roman naturally blended in with several young people from the Tarn royal family, and chatted happily, which was quite popular.
