Chapter 84 A Bribed Judge
In the freshn team, Liu Xiao leaned on Zhao Kai’s ear and whispered sothing. Soone noticed it but did not dare to say anything.
When Zhao Kai heard Liu Xiao’s words, his eyes imdiately widened. He asked in a low voice, “Why did you call Chen Sheng over?”
He did not doubt Liu Xiao’s words because he knew that Liu Xiao had the ability to command Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng had worked as a technical consultant for many large enterprises; among them, the Liu family’s consultant fee was the highest!
The more money they gave, the more attention Chen Sheng paid to them.
Liu Xiao continued, “I called him over to support us. That Lu Yu has already won first place three tis. He won’t be able to get first place in this trial!”
Zhao Kai shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said, “I rember you’ve learned a lot from Chen Sheng, so you should be pretty good in the pharmaceutical field. Why are you afraid of Lu Yu?”
“What if… What if he’s hiding sothing? I’ll definitely get first place in this trial!”
“With Chen Sheng as our instructor, I’ll be guaranteed to get first place in this trial!”
“He can give so help and give Lu Yu so trouble at the sa ti. Since that’s the case, it’ll be easy for to get first place.”
“This is the power of money. No matter how strong Lu Yu is, he’s still a peasant. How can he be compared to ?”
Zhao Kai nodded, “Money makes the world turn. Although our family has an ancient heritage, we can’t compare to you in terms of wealth.”
......
Liu Xiao smiled smugly. At the sa ti, he glared fiercely at Lu Yu. He wanted nothing more than to end Lu Yu’s winning streak right here!
Zhao Kai looked at Xu Mao beside him and hurriedly repeated Liu Xiao’s words in a low voice.
At that mont, Xu Mao had almost recovered from his injuries after a night of resting. However, his face was still a little pale, and it seed he had suffered internal injuries.
When he heard this, a brilliant smile appeared on his gloomy face.
“That’s great. We must teach that guy a lesson and break his arrogance!”
Xu Mao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He still did not dare to say anything about how he was beaten up by Lu Yu yesterday. It was too embarrassing!
Moreover, after that slap, he was traumatized. Whenever he saw Lu Yu, he would feel a wave of fear.
Now, he did not even dare to look at Lu Yu anymore. He could only curse at Lu Yu silently in his heart.
The three of them were confident that Lu Yu wouldn’t do well in this trial.
The judge was all on their side. It would be a miracle if Lu Yu’s results were even just good!
At that mont, Chen Sheng looked at the group of freshn and said calmly, “Everyone, let explain the rules to you.”
“The trial is divided into two parts. One part is finishing your main task, and the other additional task is to achieve further and beyond.”
“The main task is to brew a bottle of 1-star dicine. You pass the main task as long as you can concoct a 1-star dicine. If you could co up with a higher star dicine, that would be even better.”
“The purpose of the main task is to test your basic pharmaceutical capabilities. If you don’t even have this basic capability, then there’s no need for you to participate in the subsequent additional tasks.”
“For the additional task, you are to draw lots to brew a higher difficulty dicine randomly. The higher the star ranking of the dicine, the higher your score will be.”
After saying that, Chen Sheng looked at Lu Yu. He had already made a plan according to the rules.
He could let Lu Yu pass the main task, but he would never let Lu Yu pass the additional task!
The additional task was random, but he could determine what Lu Yu was to draw.
Therefore, he could tamper with the task so Lu Yu would get an extrely difficult dicine to brew.
Chen Sheng smiled confidently. Such a small matter was a piece of cake for him.
When the freshn heard Chen Sheng’s words, they started debating.
“We are going to start our brewing. I’m getting a little nervous.”
“I’ve never touched these things before. What if they explode?”
“Damn, I usually just take a few materials and mix them. I’ve never used any of this equipnt before.”
“I feel like it’s going to be very difficult. Although I’m a pharmacist, I’ve never seen these tools before.”
The freshn were all very worried. They were unfamiliar with making dicine, as they usually bought it off the shelf.
Even those who majored in pharmacy were extrely nervous at this mont.
Among the crowd, only Liu Xiao had a calm expression on his face.
He had the experience of using all this top-tier pharmaceutical manufacturing equipnt in his family company. Thus, he was relaxed and did not feel even the slightest bit of nervousness.
“Now, begin your trial. The materials have been prepared. Please give your best efforts to complete the task given!” Chen Sheng shouted.
The crowd dispersed one after another. The students went to the workbench and began to prepare their respective concoctions.
Lu Yu also went to a workbench and began to prepare his dicine brew.
The simplest potion was the life potion. After drinking it, it would replenish the drinker’s health.
Lu Yu first gathered the dicinal ingredients from the dicine cabinet.
He took out the Blood Flower, the Red Essence Vine, and the Essence Accumulation Root.
First, he crushed the Blood Flower to get juice from it. After obtaining the blood-red juice, he placed it into a reagent bottle.
Next, he took out the Red Essence Vine, crushed it into a fine powder, and sprinkled it into the red juice.
Finally, he took out the Essence Accumulation Root. He mixed it with pure spring water, crushed it into a viscous liquid, and added it to the reagent bottle.
According to his mory, he should have completed the life potion. One could instantly replenish 100 health points after drinking it.
The replenishnt speed of the life potion was much faster than that of the recovery potion. However, the materials required were also more precious.
Lu Yu took the reagent bottle and placed it on the inspection equipnt.
“Failed!”
A notification sounded. That was how Lu Yu knew that he hadn’t succeeded in producing a life potion.
He could only continue to study and think of a way to reformulate it.
At that mont, Liu Xiao shouted, “I’ve finished concocting it! Moreover, it’s a 2-star potion!”
His loud shout attracted everyone’s attention.
“Shit, so fast?”
“Aweso, man, you completed it just like that.”
“Not to ntion it’s a two-star potion. Impressive, as expected of a genius pharmacist.”
Listening to the praises around him, Liu Xiao raised his head proudly and could not help but glance at Lu Yu.
When he saw Lu Yu buried in his research, he could not help but reveal a proud smile.
He could finally defeat Lu Yu in this area!
As for the other two, Zhao Kai and Xu Mao were also happy. Liu Xiao’s performance had finally given them hope of defeating Lu Yu.
After Liu Xiao finished brewing his potion, a few other freshn also finished making their dicine.
However, most of them were 1-star dicines, the lowest grade of recovery potion. At most, they could recover 30 to 40 health points.
Until now, there were already 30 to 40 new students who had completed the production of their dicines. However, all of them were 1-star potions.
1-star potions were sothing that could be easily produced.
Therefore, this basic task was a freebie to them. Only a tiny number of people with no experience in concocting potions wouldn’t be able to do it.
At that mont, everyone’s gaze was on Lu Yu, as he had yet to produce his potion!
