I'm really not an NPC

Chapter 41 The Cheating Pharmacist Apprentice
"Because I'm not an apprentice, the things I refine can't compare with Aunt Judy's?"

Li En thought of this possibility and nodded slightly.

The rules of the game "Kingdom of God" are very simple.

For any profession, the higher the achievement, the better the refined things.

For example, Judy is a junior pharmacist, and the refined honey water can restore 20% of the blood volume.

However, the same honey water refined by intermediate and advanced pharmacists may be able to restore 30%, 40% or even more blood volume.

"It seems to be the reason why I didn't get started."

Li En tried to summon the panel.

Rating: 6
Appellation: None
Occupation: Junior blacksmith.

Attributes: strength 5.3, agility 8.8, intelligence 4.0
Occupational Skills: Elementary Forging (8255/10000): "The success rate of elementary forging ordinary weapons is as high as 90.00%, 20.00% for blue weapons, and [-]% for purple weapons..."

Combat skills: none

Skill Points: 5
attribute point:

Experience Points: 8654/50000
Gold coins: 528 silver coins and 335 copper coins.

No words related to pharmacists appeared in the occupation column or the skill column.

"What's going on here? I've already learned how to make honey water, but why haven't I become an apprentice pharmacist?"

Li En couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the system in his heart: "Boss, what's going on?"

Fortunately, the system did not pretend to be dead this time, and replied: "If you want to become a pharmacist apprentice, you must master 4 kinds of potions."

"..." Li En.

Got it, that's what happened!
Blacksmithing is different from refining medicine.

Any weapon can be forged as long as you master the method of blacksmithing.

So learning forging is basically equivalent to becoming an apprentice.

But pharmacists are different.

Each drug requires a formula, and the process is different.

The requirement for a pharmacist apprenticeship is to master four.

Only by mastering the four, Li En will become an apprentice, and can upgrade his profession and skills...

"Hmm! There's still a lot to learn!"

Li En stopped writing, looked at Aunt Judy and said, "Aunt Judy, I still want to learn other potions, can I?"

"Of course! Xiao Lien, I just like how motivated you are!"

Aunt Judy smiled and patted Li En on the shoulder.

……

midnight.

There were all kinds of things in front of Li En.

There are potions that look like honey water, and there are also things that look like biscuits.

All kinds of smells came, and Li En felt the urge to vomit.

"Homemade pie: Strength +5 within 1 minutes, sequelae: diarrhea..."

"Fluorescent water: night vision function within 5 minutes: sequelae: diarrhea..."

"Mold liquid, increase critical strike rate by 3% within 10 minutes, sequelae: diarrhea..."

Looking at this string of messages, Li En's whole body is not well.

diarrhea.

diarrhea!

In addition to diarrhea or diarrhea!What kind of trouble is this!
You can come to the sequelae, can you change it!

Li En was really speechless.

Moreover, the efficacy of these medicines seems to be different from those developed by Aunt Judy.

Aunt Judy's effect is obviously much better...

"Damn, it seems that the level is not enough, let's take a look now?"

Li En opened the summoning panel again.

What pleased him this time was that after the occupation column and junior blacksmith, there was an extra word "pharmacist apprentice"!

And there is a "+" sign behind it!

"Haha! It seems that I have mastered four medicine methods, enough to upgrade?"

"If I upgrade to become a junior pharmacist, the medicines I refine will definitely be better? Then, can I make the side effects of these dark dishes disappear?"

Li En couldn't wait to add skill points to the pharmacist.

"Wow!"

The next moment, Li En was promoted to a junior pharmacist.

"Li En, why are you standing still?"

When Li En was in a daze, Aunt Judy noticed something strange about him.

"Sorry Aunt Judy, I was thinking about something."

Li En replied with a smile, "I still want to try to make some potions, is that okay?"

"Of course, Xiao Li En, you can study it anytime you want!"

"Thank you, Aunt Judy."

……

Two 10 minutes later.

An extra tube of green liquid appeared in front of Li En's eyes.

"Mold liquid, increase critical strike rate by 3% within 15 minutes, sequelae: diarrhea, headache."

"puff!"

This string of information almost made Li En vomit blood.

I finally leveled up and added some points, but you just made this thing for me?

Ok.

15% crit attribute is actually not bad.

But the problem is that there are more sequelae!
"Why did I have more after-effects when I upgraded? This is unscientific!"

Li En was about to cry, and said, "Aunt Judy, I still want to borrow your kitchen..."

So busy now, it's actually late at night.

During the period, Aunt Zhu Di settled the dinner by herself, because Li En was too involved, she did not disturb.

Now pointing to the rice balls on the table, he said, "Xiao Lien, you can work, but please don't forget to eat on time. You are growing up now, so you can't be sloppy..."

"Aunt Judy I will! I'll have it later!"

Li En is not interested in eating at all now.

He just wants to develop a "drug" that has no side effects.

Keep busy.

Soon, in 10 minutes.

There was an extra piece of pie in Li En's hand.

"Homemade pie: Strength +5 within 2 minutes, sequelae: diarrhea, dizziness, vertigo..."

Li En: "..."

Now Li En is completely speechless and desperate.

"Okay, it seems that my leveling up seems useless. The properties of the potion I researched are not bad, but the sequelae are even more terrifying!"

"What the hell is going on here!"

Li En tried to think of the system to call for help.

Unfortunately, the system does not answer.

"Damn system!"

Li En thought about continuing to upgrade the pharmacist profession, but he was surprised to find that if a pharmacist wants to be promoted to the intermediate level, he must need two skill points!

"The damn system started to suppress me in order to prevent my career from upgrading too quickly?"

Li En thought unbalancedly in his heart, and finally continued to upgrade without willfulness.

Skill points are not like attribute points, they are quite valuable after learning skills.

"Aunt Judy, why do the food I refine always have various defects, can you tell me why?"

The system didn't answer, and he couldn't continue to upgrade his career, so Li En had no choice but to ask Aunt Judy for help.

"Huh? Defect? ​​Xiao Li En, what are you talking about?" Aunt Judy had doubts on her face.

"Uh……"

Li En was a little embarrassed. It seemed that Aunt Judy didn't know that what she made was dark food?
"Ahem! It's like this. After I eat some of the food you made, I may have eaten too much or been full, and I always have diarrhea..."

Li En chose to say it tactfully.

"Have loose bowels?"

Judy's face was still inexplicable: "Is there? Why didn't I have this situation?"

That must be Aunt Judy, you are so talented!
Li En complained in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Aunt Zhu Di, maybe I am relatively weak. By the way, do you know if there is a pharmacist near this village?"
