The strategic value of pharmacists was so highly promoted by Principal Roberts that Zhou Ming felt it was a bit exaggerated.

But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

[Soothing Potion], the magician’s meditation effect is doubled.

[Dragon Blood Potion], improves the physique of warriors and increases high-end combat power.

It's just that these two medicines have a huge effect, and there is a huge difference between those who have them and those who don't.

Pharmacists are equivalent to a variety of pharmaceuticals. They can maintain a long-term and stable supply and can continuously prepare strategic resources such as "pharmaceuticals."

It is equivalent to installing an accelerating engine for the development of the school or the kingdom.

Both magic schools and kingdoms attach great importance to the training of pharmacists, even more than regular magicians.

But...the success rate of pharmacists is too low.

In many powerful kingdoms, the number of senior magicians exceeds a thousand, but the number of senior pharmacists can be counted on one hand.

As for a master-level apothecary, its value can really be equivalent to that of a kingdom.

Is Zhou Ming sure to become a master pharmacist?

have.

With the help of the system, he can become a master-level figure no matter what he studies.

So will he accept Principal Roberts' invitation and agree to stay at Brno Magic School?

Shaked his head.

No matter what conditions the old fox offers, he will not trade his right to choose for something.

Even in exchange for the king's pardon for his family.

Zhou Ming was not interested either.

"Family, my essence belongs to a 'traveler'. How much does this body's family have to do with me?"

Principal Roberts may think that the Leylin family is very important to him, which is a good condition, but for Zhou Ming, he really doesn't care much about the life and death of the Leylin family.

He has never lived in the Leylin family.

I have never received any favor from this family.

Except for the memories of the original owner that were mostly cleared by the system and packaged and stored in the information database, Zhou Ming had nothing to do with the Leilin family.

Of course, if he was capable enough, he would be happy to help this unfortunate family.

If someone takes this as a condition and asks him to agree to the other party's request, then he really can't do it.

Zhou Ming has his own things to do and has no time to run a magic school or realize other people's dreams.

Nothing can restrain him.

In two years at most, he will leave Brno Magic School and even the Kingdom of Yadud to embark on his journey of "fighting monsters and upgrading".

This world is very big, and the Kingdom of Yadud, which does not even have a legendary mage, is not a place where he hopes to stay for a long time.

However, the old fox is obviously eyeing him, and his current attitude is to win over him. If he encounters any difficulties in the future, this old fox may be an umbrella to protect him.

At least one thing that can be confirmed is: it is impossible for him to be fired, and no one will fire him... Zhou Ming is very sure of this!

After the incident was over, Zhou Ming learned from the old fox that the person who spoke for him was Teacher Catherine from Class 3. Zhou Ming gave the magic cake that he planned to give to the old fox, but when the old fox scolded him as a "heartless brat" In the voice, he directly mentioned Class 3, found Teacher Catherine, and expressed his gratitude to her.

"This cake is too precious, you should take it back."

Catherine declined. She knew the price of the magic cake. Even with her salary, she could not eat it several times a month.

"Teacher, please accept it. I made it myself and it doesn't cost much."

Zhou Ming handed the cake to her and said, "Without your help, teacher, I'm afraid I would have been expelled from the school. This is my little thought. Please accept it, teacher!"

"All right."

Catherine thought for a while and accepted the magic cake from Zhou Ming.

She felt quite emotional, it had only been less than a year, and the child had changed so much.

She also knew that Leylin's family had undergone major changes. During the time when Leylin was most pessimistic and depressed, Catherine went to see him and gave him some money to help him tide over the difficulties.

But at that time, seeing his decadent and lost look, with dull eyes, Catherine realized that this child was probably going to be scrapped. If he couldn't get out of his negative state in time, he would be like that for the rest of his life.

Only half a year later, Leylin was still like that and became the target of bullying and teasing by his classmates.

Every time she saw that scene, Catherine sighed and shook her head.

A good boy was ruined like this.

But a few more months passed.

The famous magic cake shop in the capital has opened.

Leylin became known to the whole school as the "soft rice boy".

A few days ago, he even beat Martin up and took off his hat of a soft-boiled man.

Everything changed in just a few months.

The classmate Lei Lin in front of her now was surprisingly different from a few months ago.

She even wondered: Are these two people under the same skin?

But no matter what, she was still very happy and told Zhou Ming: focus on studying, don't fight with those bad boys all day long, and strive to become a great magician!

"Well, I understand! Teacher Catherine, if I have any questions in the future, can I ask you to answer them? Teacher Orlos doesn't like to answer my extracurricular questions."

Zhou Ming said that he did have many questions about magic that were difficult for the system to answer. His head teacher, Orlos, only liked to answer questions from nobles or girls and always ignored him. The one he asked the most was actually from the Magic Association. Hall manager.

The purpose of his stay at the Brno Magic School is, of course, to continue to explore the mysteries of magic. There is still a lot of knowledge waiting for him to study and learn in this school... The total time he has been in this world does not exceed half a year, and magic is still only I learned a little bit.

"Okay, you can ask me anytime."

Catherine smiled slightly, with an intellectual and mature teacher temperament, which made Zhou Ming feel a little distracted.

Smelling the faint violet fragrance emanating from her body, Zhou Ming was quite distraught and thought to himself: I am used to seeing the scenery, why am I still acting like a junior brother?

Catherine saw Zhou Ming's performance, but maybe she had seen too much, so she just blushed slightly and didn't take it to heart.

…

Zhou Ming's life seemed to have returned to peace.

But this calm is just the brief calm before the storm.

How could all the forces that wanted to deal with Zhou Ming just give up?

For example, Martin took a month's leave to practice "retreat" at home to crazily improve his strength.

Another particularly bad news for Zhou Ming is that Hall, the manager of Gannis Pharmacy, was invited by a friend to visit the Kingdom of Nabiu, thousands of miles away.

The trip takes about half a year.

The current acting store manager of Gannis Pharmacy is his granddaughter Winnie.

When Zhou Ming received this news from Wei Ni, his heart skipped a beat.

When he saw the almost perfect smile on Wei Ni's beautiful face, Zhou Ming's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

He asked tentatively: "Sister Wei Ni, if I don't run away from now on, I'll let you beat me up and we can turn our hostility into friendship. How about this?"

Winnie pouted and shook her head: "No."

"Ten times, how about I let you beat me ten times?"

Winnie smiled with two white teeth and shook her head: "No~"

At this moment, Zhou Ming's face looked like a bitter gourd.

He pointed to a bottle of [Soothing Potion] on the counter and asked, "Sister Wei Ni, can you sell me the ingredients for the [Soothing Potion]?"

"The store is out of stock."

"How about 100 gold coins each?"

"It's really out of stock." Wei Ni spread her hands.

"Where are the medicinal materials used to prepare the [Healing Potion]?" Zhou Ming asked, pointing to the healing potion.

"500 gold coins per serving. The purchase price of medicinal materials has increased recently."

Wei Ni said calmly and directly increased the previous price of the medicinal materials tenfold.

Zhou Ming was about to cry but had no tears, so he had to leave in despair.

"Hahahaha~"

"Hahahahaha~"

Looking at his disappointed figure as he left, Winnie burst into laughter. She, who was known as the "Ice Beauty" in school, had never been so happy as she was today.

"Boy, have you started begging me for mercy?"

"Is your insult to me enough to beg for mercy?"

"If I don't torture you enough, if I don't torture you enough to kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy, will I let you go?"

"Play, play slowly, this is just the beginning!"

Winnie laughed loudly, proudly, and nervously.

She had only one thought towards the object of incomparable hatred in her heart:

I'm going to make you pay the price!

An extremely heavy price!

…

Zhou Ming, who was unprepared for the sudden departure of Store Manager Hall, returned home and immediately thought hard about countermeasures.

But in the entire Yadud Kingdom, there was only one formal magic pharmacy, Ganis Pharmacy. Apart from this, he could not obtain medicinal materials through other channels.

Even if you can find a channel, it will take some time.

In other words, after all the medicinal materials on hand are used up, he will not be able to prepare magic potions for at least a while.

This can cause a lot of inconvenience.

With Winnie's character, no matter how much he apologizes and gives in, she will still try her best to play with him.

Of course, he still has a lot of [Soothing Potions] on hand, which can last for a month or two, but once they are used up, there will be no medicinal materials for him to prepare new potions, and most of the "good brothers" around him will probably leave him. go.

However, there was no need to wait for a month or two. Only two days passed, and a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.

Wei Ni also started selling the [Soothing Potion] at a low price. She took a few girls to sell the [Soothing Potion], which only sold for 80 gold coins a bottle, and did not set any "core customer" indicators. No matter which classmate, they could Purchase for 80 gold coins per bottle.

In addition, Wei Ni also revealed an explosive news: the [Calming Potion] sold by Leylin actually cost only 35 gold coins per bottle, but he tripled the price and claimed to sell it at cost price. This black-hearted profiteer, this shameless liar !

Boom~

The whole school was shocked.

Especially the "good brothers" around Zhou Ming were all shocked.

"The cost is 35 gold coins, and core customers sell it for 100 gold coins. This..."

"More than thirty gold coins, how can the preparation cost of soothing medicine be so low?"

"Leylin, you even make money from your good brother!"

"Leylin, I misjudged you!"

"I'm not a core customer. The [Calming Potion] I bought from a core customer costs 300 gold coins per bottle. I didn't expect the real cost to be only over 30 gold coins. Ten times, ten times the profit!"

"Black-hearted, so damn black-hearted!"

"Leylin, I won't buy any more of your calming potions. I'll give you all the remaining three bottles. You give me your money back!"

Among the 30 "good brothers", except for a few brothers, they didn't express anything. According to other people's evaluation, Zhou Ming's reputation has reached the extreme, and most of the team has dispersed.

Zhou Ming was also stunned, not knowing what to say for a long time.

What shocked him the most was that the method Winnie took to bring him down was completely beyond his expectation.

This is a typical example of harming others without benefiting oneself!

"Crazy, that woman is really a lunatic!"
