"As expected... why would a newbie succeed?"
Lisa, who was observing at the side, didn’t know the complicated emotions Master Soma was feeling inside and felt indescribable ease when she saw Fang Yuan failed.
The overconfident look he had before had previously had led her to believe that he would definitely succeed.
After regaining her senses, she felt that the situation was quite humorous. "How can a newbie Demon Hunter be a self-taught genius and beco a Pharmacist?"
However, she saw that Fang Yuan started the experint a second ti as if nothing had happened. There was no expression of being uneasiness or depression on his face.
Settle, analyze, heat...
Similarly, he didn’t make any mistakes, his hands were as stable as ever. He wasn’t unlucky enough to fail due to the success rate this ti.
After a while, a test tube which was the size of one’s pinkie was filled with a translucent fluid.
"It’s done!"
Fang Yuan didn’t stop moving and continued going as he started to purify the third set of ingredients. "Master Soma, how do you see this?"
"Not bad, not bad at all!" Soma was speechless at that point. Even when he had personally done it, the success rate wasn’t as high as his which was over 60%.
"Master is overestimating !" Fang Yuan lowered his head as if he was embarrassed. "This was due to the fact that the experint process was recorded in a book. I’m only confident because I have my sowhat natural talent, my sensitivity towards ti, and my precise movents... If you want to make dicants, I would be an amateur."
"That’s more like it!" Master Soma nodded his head repeatedly and his heart felt at ease.
He was able to do it because of his natural talent, there was nothing to be jealous about. Furthermore, there were few experints that were similar to this crazy experint of extracting bat-ear mouse with detailed operation required.
"You’re... Hulk, right?" Master Soma beca serious. "You have a pretty decent gift and can develop your skills in pharmaceutics. You... currently don’t have a tutor, right?"
In his heart, this youth was pretty good.
Most importantly, he had zero ability at making dicant but had a talent for handling ingredients. Wasn’t he the best possible assistant for his experints that he was able to exploit?
Before the other party beca a master, Soma could throw him difficult tasks and would only need to design the experints. There was nothing better than that in this world!
"Yes, I don’t have a tutor..." Fang Yuan smiled. "but... I’ll soon be participating in a challenging mission... I might lose my life there."
"Don’t spout nonsense!" Master Soma blew his beard and instantly widened his eyes. "Who arranged for you to go to such a mission? There are plenty of Demon Hunters like you, but how many Pharmacists do we have that’s like you? Who is it? I’ll personally talk to him!"
How could he die worthlessly in a battlefield?
"It’s Vice President Flock!" Fang Yuan spread his arms.
"Wait a mont, I’ll go look for him!" Master Soma jumped up as his bottom was on fire and ran out anxiously.
Witnessing this scene, the corner of Fang Yuan’s mouth curled up to reveal a slight smile.
Voodoo Corpses are very close to the Evil Demons and had high-class blood. Even if Vice President Flock led a large bunch of Demon Hunters and surrounded it, it might not be 100% safe.
Furthermore, he felt so sort of dark aura from Black Jack that made him feel much more alert.
The Bay of Pigs was most likely a trap.
Although an average hunter’s formation couldn’t confine the enemy, they weren’t average hunters. However, the abilities of Flock and the others weren’t on par with that of the enemy either.
Hence, this hunt-kill operation was fated to be highly dangerous.
He hasn’t even recovered half of his original capabilities yet, it would be best if he didn’t go.
"In reality, the so-called ’rules’ are only set for the people with lower ranks..." he mocked silently, "even if I’m supposed to go, as a potential Pharmacist, I would receive attention and care after a Master Pharmacist especially requested it. Sotis, this is the difference between life and death!"
"Hi! Demon Hunter!"
In the experint lab, Lisa seed to have recovered and gave a flirty smile as she half-leaned over. "Did you... forget about my room number?"
To her, her impression of Fang Yuan kept changing.
From a handso guy to an unromantic fool, to a Pharmacist with a bright future now!
He was definitely a pearl and needed to be held onto properly.
"I would never forget it, but I’m very worried about the mission right now and I’m not in the mood..." Fang Yuan squeezed out a sad face and gave her a roll of dollar notes. "I wonder where the source for the information the branch obtained about the Voodoo Corpse ca from? And about Black Jack, has there been any news?"
"Hehe..." Lisa was elated after feeling the thickness of the notes and completely understood the young Demon Hunter’s worries.
Before a life and death battle, so Demon Hunters would drink and dream as much as possible as though they wanted to live their life to the fullest. So Demon Hunters, on the other hand, would have a clear mind and have few desires. They would focus on concentrating their energy.
It was obvious that this Demon Hunter was the latter.
"The news about the Voodoo Corpse... was intelligence we bought. The seller was also a black market businessman... It made a ruckus in the Bay of Pigs and had killed many people. The news was, hence, not a secret..." Lisa added on, "that’s why the vice president didn’t make any moves on Black Jack."
To the Demon Hunter branch, which wielded a lot of power, Black Jack is the kind of black market businessman that was a mouse in the drain, a vulture that ate rotting at; he was still useful. If he wasn’t, he could be killed at any ti so the branch wasn’t bothered about him.
However, Fang Yuan was solemn.
He trusted his instincts and feelings that Black Jack wasn’t a usual profiteer.
"B*llsh*t! He didn’t know the value of a pharmacist disciple!"
After a few monts, Master Soma ca back with a disappointed face. "Apologies... Hulk, Flock won’t agree to let you out of the operation, but don’t you worry, he promised to protect you."
"Thank you, Master Soma!" Fang Yuan bowed slightly. "Fighting against evil is a wish of mine ever since I beca a Demon Hunter! Moreover... If I’m lucky enough to be able to return, I’ll be very willing to beco your assistant and help you manage so ingredients."
"Alright!" Master Soma was easily touched.
For a youth that had gratitude, wasn’t he going overboard with his exploitation?
"Wait a mont!"
He seed to have thought of sothing as he ran into the storage room and promptly took out a small box. "It’s a dicant to stop bleeding... Although its ability to treat wounds isn’t comparable to treatnt water, it’s still useful for small injuries. There’s also Sacred Light dicant, spread it on Secret Silver or pour the alcohol directly to increase the damage to Night Family Clan mbers... And this, I’ll give them all to you!"
He took out a leather belt that was clearly custom-made. It had a secret pocket that could hide small amounts of dicant.
"This is a dicant belt made from eight-legged crocodile skin. It’s specially made for storing dicant, and its defense isn’t bad either... It’s fighting style is suitable for Demon Hunters..."
Although these things weren’t as valuable as the two portions of treatnt water, Fang Yuan was filled with gratitude as he accepted them.
He buckled the belt onto his waist and pressed the secret button. Indeed, it revealed a row of slots for test tubes. It was very convenient to use, and it would work even better during battles.
"Eight-legged crocodile is derived from a demon. The leather of the crocodile king can even be made into a low-grade Demon Weapon. Of course... this belt is nothing like that, but can it be considered an investnt? Pharmacists really are wealthy. Their wealth is quite shocking even when they reveal just a little bit."
With his new equipnt, Fang Yuan and Lisa went to the Demon Hunter branch’s main hall. "That’s right, I need to launch an entrustnt."
Fang Yuan went to the counter and took out the box containing the treatnt water. "I need a Demon Hunter to pass this onto the hands of Uncle Jock from the Axe Bar!"
Although the healing effect of the treatnt water was obvious and could be considered an additional life, Fang Yuan had dical skills of his own. Furthermore, he had more extra equipnt. If he needed to save himself, then he would rather go back to where he ca from.
As for the treatnt water that Jock gave him at the beginning, it was better to return the favor as quickly as possible.
By compensating him with double the amount, it was also beneficial to him, a young Demon Hunter, when it was made known. At least, he would be able to build a lofty image.
"Okay!"
Lisa persuaded him, but looking at how determined Fang Yuan was, she couldn’t help but complint him, "Hulk... You really are a good guy!"
"Haha..."
Fang Yuan grinned and lowered his head, but in his heart, he was violently rolling his eyes, "Being friend-zoned by a girl, how lucky can I get?"
...
After three days.
The Bay of Pigs.
This was a harbor that was located near the Hurin area. Due to the presence of a small dock, it had so ships that would stop there to load and unload their goods which ford a market.
Moreover, due to the chaotic managent, the entire marketplace and dock area was filled with dirt and a peculiar stench, as if it was a pigsty.
Thus, its original na was quickly forgotten, and the na of "Bay of Pigs" was spread. In the end, it beca the official na.
"This is an important private harbor for the black market businessn in the Hurin area. 30% of the hold in the Hurin area stores guns and gunpowder, as well as most of the illegal items!"
Fang Yuan wrapped a black cape around himself and walked among the people.
The residents here were mostly wrapped in either black or grey cloth and had an unkempt appearance. The ssy stalls were almost blocking the road. One would wonder how horse carriages were able to travel in this kind of environnt; the road was uneven and was filled with potholes and horse dung, everything was as if ti stopped in the middle ages.
"Investigate... acquire evidence of a Voodoo Corpse..." Thinking about the task that he was assigned to, Fang Yuan recited in a low voice, "Voodoo Corpses like to move around at night. If I’m careful, this mission won’t be dangerous, have I really been taken care of?"
He looked at the bustling marketplace and felt sympathetic.
In the Bay of Pigs, it was a common sight for people to go missing every day. The activities of the Voodoo Corpse was covered up almost perfectly. To its eyes, this was a hunting ground and the humans here were its moving food!
