Today is Sunday, no classes.

It's 6:50 in the morning.

Anruer followed her past habit of waiting for her boyfriend to have breakfast in the hall.

Xia Zuo, who was late, gave her a big hug and said, I have been promoted to expert poison alchemist.

An Ru'er showed a little joy, My dear, that's great. I'm going to start learning functional pharmacy this month.

After that, I will be responsible for stripping away the poisonous effects, and you will make the potion, and we will develop new functional potions together. Xia Zuo touched her bun, Let's go, let's go have breakfast, and then I'll find the mentor.

Anruer held her boyfriend's right hand tightly. After taking a few steps, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and her expression became lost.

Xia Zuo felt her fingers getting cold, stopped and asked gently: What's wrong? Are you worried about anything?

Anruer leaned into her boyfriend's arms, Are you going to leave the school and become an assistant to the resident mage? You told me last time that the head of the school will arrange these after you become an expert poison alchemist. matter…

Xia Zuo wanted to tell the other party the truth immediately, but as the words came to his lips, an idea struck him.

He planned to eliminate a hidden mine in advance.

Are you worried that I will leave you? Xia Zuo gently stroked the other person's back.

Yes, I feel like we are getting farther and farther apart. Ever since you started practicing meditation, I feel like I can never catch up with you. Anru'er whispered, her voice weak.

The love relationship between the two people was started by similar life encounters, promoted by An Ruer's proactive contact, and then established by Xia Zuo's acceptance.

During the smooth process, the biggest setback he encountered was that Xia Zuo was away for more than a month while practicing meditation.

In Anruer's eyes.

Xia Zuo is about to leave the school and has been working as an assistant to the resident mage in a strange place for a long time. He will not appear in the school for at least several months.

The relationship between the two may fade over time, or even end due to the intervention of a third party.

Xia Zuo held the opponent's weak arms, stared into Anruer's eyes and asked: There is such a question that I have thought about deeply. Do you want to hear it?

Yeah. An Ruer nodded her head lightly with tears in her eyes.

Suppose that a mage apprentice who is more talented, more mature, and more beautiful than you appears next to me. She has a crush on me and knows about my relationship with you, but she still takes the initiative to get close to me. What do you think I will do? ?”

Every time more appears in Xia Zuo's words, Anruer's body will shake slightly.

She reached up and covered her eyes, I don't know.

Xia Zuo smiled and said, I will reject her.

Why? Anruer asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.

People change. She may have a crush on me at some point. But I can't be sure what she will be like in the future.

Xia Zuo took out a tissue and gently wiped the other person's eyes, The only thing I can control is my sincerity to you and your response to me.

Anru'er blinked in confusion. Although she didn't know what her boyfriend meant, she still felt it made sense.

Well she leaned into her boyfriend's arms again, seeming a little doubtful.

Xia Zuo lowered his head and whispered:

I have a plan. A very long-term plan. I need a good helper that I can trust. You are the perfect choice. Listen to me...

Because of the existence of Golden Finger, Xia Zuo has no shortage of ways to improve his strength, but only lacks absolutely loyal backup.

He thought carefully before taking the initiative to propose a relationship to Anruer, and would never easily start an unstable relationship.

Anruer's character, talent, ability and appearance are all among the best, and she has huge potential that can be tapped.

A mage molded by one's own hands is more reliable than one met halfway.

Since the infatuated Anruer felt a strong sense of uneasiness because of her identity gap.

Then create your own value for her and improve her status in the relationship.

For these reasons, Xia Zuo plans to train Anruer into a personal, full-time alchemist. Let her be the only wife while sharing the alchemy work and researching some secret potions.

He whispered his plan while gently stroking the other person's back to soothe his anxious mood.

The whispers stopped.

Anruer wiped the tears on her face, raised her pretty face and stared at her boyfriend, with a firm light shining in her eyes. She no longer hesitated, and said in a serious tone:

I will work hard! Just look at it. I will definitely make you unable to live without me in the future.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe you can do it. Xia Zuo encouraged, then reached out to hold the other person's cheek, covered it with his sleeves, and pounced on the other person's mouth.

Well Anru'er didn't seem to expect that her boyfriend would do this. This was the first time that the other party had done such a thing. In the past, he just clicked lightly in other places...

I'll tell you good news. Xia Zuo broke away after a moment of contact, gently rubbed the other person's face and said with a smile:

The head of the college said that I will continue to stay in the academy and only go out occasionally. It is not what you think. I will not work as an assistant to the resident mage outside the academy.

What?! Anru'er was startled, and then she suddenly got into her boyfriend's arms, her head twisting like a drill, You lied to me, you made me worry in vain. Why are you so bad... Wuwu …”

Xia Zuo lowered his head and saw the other person's blushing face, and laughed.

In the study room of the tower.

Xia Zuo and his instructor sat face to face on both sides of the desk.

Have you tried the Meditation Alchemy Table?

I've tried it, Professor. It's very easy to use. It's definitely a genius-level invention. Xia Zuo said with an admiring tone.

Then, let me tell you what you want to do in the future.

Beatrice took out a loose-leaf album from the drawer and placed it in front of the students.

There is no specific teaching content at the expert level, so you don't need to take classes anymore, and other alchemy courses will also be put aside for the time being.

I gave you a list of poison orders that need to be refined urgently.

In the past, these poisons would be refined by mage assistants in various cities, but the quality of their products was unstable. As soon as people outside the academy heard that an expert poison alchemist was going to be born here, they rushed to place these orders.

“For every order you complete, you earn points.

Your poison refining success rate and product quality are very stable and have always been of perfect quality. Therefore, the points awarded to you have already deducted the cost of using the large alchemy room and basic toxins in advance.

The weekly schedule from now on will be the same as it has been in years past. It's up to you to decide your evenings and weekends.

While listening, Xia Zuo flipped through the list in front of him.

Lots and lots of orders.

The poisons ordered are all poison refining products above the skilled level, and all require perfect quality. Most of the orders require the removal of specified poisonous effects, while a few orders require the development of poisons with specified toxic effects.

I estimate that it will take two years to complete all the orders on the list.

Professor, when can I learn other alchemy? Xia Zuo asked.

Beatrice thought for a while, Let's wait until these orders are completed.

One more thing.

Beatrice crossed her fingers on the table.

It is very difficult to advance from expert level to master level. It takes ten years or more on average.

Xia Zuo closed the loose-leaf book and looked at his mentor.

First, you must use toxin identification methods to identify the toxic effects of elemental toxins.

Beatrice said with emphasis:

You must be careful not to test the poison. The poisonous effect of elemental poison is very fatal, and you will die without knowing it.

After you figure out the poisonous effects of elemental poisons, use the Meditation Alchemy Table to deduce it.

Only by refining a perfect quality elemental toxin can you be eligible to apply for the promotion test.

Yes, Professor. I took note of it. Xia Zuo nodded. This is just what he wants! The formula for elemental toxins can be cracked openly!

Take this.

Beatrice found a manual and handed it over.

This is your points booklet. The next few pages are the list of redeemable items. I have removed the items you don't need. Once you have accumulated enough points, just come to me to redeem them.

Beatrice waited for the students to collect the manuals and then took out a square box from the drawer.

Inside the square box is a silver four-pointed star emblem, similar in shape to the four-pointed star array.

This is the crest of an expert poison alchemist. Be sure to keep it. You don't need to wear it on a daily basis. You only need it on important occasions. Give me your pendant and I will replace it.

Xia Zuo took off the pendant from his neck and handed it over. At the same time, he solemnly took the square box from his instructor with both hands.

He gently touched the smooth and translucent coat of arms. The unique soft and smooth material did not leave any fingerprints.

On the front of the coat of arms, in the center of the four-pointed star, are engraved the words Expert Poison Alchemist Xia Zuo, and on the reverse side are the date when the coat of arms was awarded and the imprint of the supervisor Beatrice.

Xia Zuo closed the box and put it in his pocket.

Goldfinger's message came to his mind, and he scanned it quickly.

A change in the host's [Identity 2] has been detected, and the character template has been updated.

Wow Kaka~

Xia Zuo secretly rejoiced, and calmly chatted with Beatrice about other things, then stood up and said goodbye to each other with two booklets.

After he arrived at the large alchemy room, he sat on a chair next to the storage table and read the points redemption manual.

The first few pages of this manual are blank, and the paper material is very special and cannot be written with common pens and pencils.

A line of small characters was marked at the bottom of the blank paper:

[This is a special page for points recording. It is prohibited to modify or erase the contents of this page without permission. 】

Xia Zuo turned over these blank papers and went directly to the catalog section of redeemable props.

There are a wide variety of items that can be redeemed.

Currencies that are circulated outside the school, such as silver dollars and gold coins, can also be redeemed with points.

1 point can be exchanged for 1 silver dollar, and 100 points can be exchanged for 1 gold coin.

It is worth mentioning that.

On the poison refining list, the order with the lowest difficulty and the smallest quantity of poisons required can be completed in about 2 days, and 30 points will be awarded upon completion.

On average, 15 points a day, which is 15 silver dollars.

As far as Xia Zuo knew, Anruer helped Professor Zhuolang refine the oil, which cost about 2 silver dollars a day on average.

His salary instantly reached 7 times that of his girlfriend!

However, converting points into silver dollars is not very cost-effective.

Points have even greater uses.

It can be exchanged for spell scrolls instilling magic, small unruly elements with specified characteristics, and can also be entered into the tutor's collection to read classics.

Even enchanted props like cyclone brooches can be redeemed with points.

Xia Zuo did not forget his goal.

Master level element bottle, 25,000 points.

This seemingly distant number now has a clear path to obtain it.

He put away the exchange manual and opened the poison refining list.

If you want to gain experience and points more efficiently, you have to study the timing between each order.

Some complex toxins need to stand for a longer time to be refined, far more than 30 days.

These orders can be queued first.

Xia Zuo took out his notepad and wrote down the order requirements one by one.

About an hour later, he closed the book, put on the poison-refining leather robe and started refining the poison.

At noon.

In a remote corner of the restaurant, Xia Zuo accompanied Anruer to enjoy lunch.

After some enlightenment in the morning, Anruer found her future goal.

In addition, her boyfriend does not have to leave the school for a long time, leaving her alone to study alchemy in the school.

She had a smile on her face at this time, and a look of joy between her brows.

With a smile on her face, Anruer brought the drink to her boyfriend, laid out the napkins, and filled the pot with soup.

Xia Zuo enjoyed the other party's service with peace of mind.

But he also didn’t forget to give back to the other party.

A cup of freshly squeezed juice, a bowl of hot seafood soup, and a full spoonful of the other person's favorite squid.

Xia Zuo placed these delicacies in front of Anruer and held up her face, Come on, dear. I...

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked by warm lips.
