Chapter 602 Crisis
The strategic value of the pharmacist was raised so high by Principal Roberts, Zhou Ming felt that it was a little exaggerated.

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

[Soothing potion], the magician's meditation effect is doubled.

【Dragon's Blood Potion】, enhance the warrior's physique and increase high-end combat power.

It's just that these two medicines have a huge effect, and they are completely different from those without.

A pharmacist is equivalent to a variety of medicines, which can maintain a long-term and stable supply, and can continuously prepare strategic resources such as "pharmaceuticals".

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

No matter the magic school or the kingdom, they all attached great importance to the training of pharmacists, even more than ordinary magicians.

But...the success rate of pharmacists is really 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 pharmacist, the value can really be comparable to a kingdom.

Is Zhou Ming sure to become a master pharmacist?

Have.

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

Then he accepted Principal Roberts' solicitation and agreed to stay at the Brno School of Magic?

shook his head.

No matter what conditions the old fox offered, he would never trade his freedom of choice 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 'time traveler', how much is the family of this body related to me?"

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

He never lived in the Leylin family.

Nor has he received any favor from this family.

Except for the memory of the original owner that was mostly cleared by the system in his mind and stored in the information database, Zhou Ming has nothing to do with the Leilin family.

Of course, if he is capable enough to help this unlucky family, he is willing.

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 affairs, and has no time to run some magic school and realize other people's dreams.

Nothing can restrain him.

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

This world is huge, and the Yadude Kingdom, which doesn't even have a legendary mage, is not a place he hopes to stay for a long time.

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

At least one thing can be confirmed: it is impossible for him to be fired, and no one will fire him... Zhou Ming is very sure of this!
And after the turmoil of this incident, I learned from the old fox that it was Teacher Catherine from Class 3 who spoke for him. Zhou Ming scolded the magic cake that he planned to give to the old fox at the old fox's "heartless brat". In the voice, he directly mentioned Class 3, found Teacher Catherine, and thanked her.

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

Catherine resigned. She knew the price of the magic cake. Even with her salary, she couldn't eat it a few times a month.

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

Zhou Ming handed the cake in front of her, and said, "Without your help, teacher, I'm afraid I would have been expelled from school. This is a small wish from me, please accept it!"

"Ok."

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

She was quite emotional in her heart, it has only been less than a year, and the child has changed so much.

She also knew about the major changes in the Leylin family, and during the time when Leylin was most pessimistic and depressed, Catherine went to see him and gave him some money to tide him over.

But at that time, looking at his decadent and lost eyes, Catherine realized that this child might be useless, if he could not get out of the negative state in time, he would be like that for the rest of his life.

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

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

A good boy, ruined like that.

Yet another few months passed.

The famous magic cake shop in the royal capital opened.

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

A few days ago, he even beat up Martin and took off his hat as a soft rice boy.

Everything changed in just a few months.

Compared with the classmate Leylin in front of her a few months ago, the difference is astonishing.

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

But no matter what, she was very happy in her heart, and at the same time told Zhou Ming: focus on studying, don't fight with those bad kids all day long, and strive to become a great magician!
"Well, I see! Teacher Catherine, if I have any questions in the future, can I ask you to answer them? Teacher Olos doesn't like to answer my extracurricular questions."

Zhou Ming said that he did have many questions about magic, which were difficult for the system to answer. Olos, the head teacher, only liked to answer questions from nobles or girls, and always ignored him. The most frequently asked questions were from the Magic Association. Manager Hall.

His purpose of staying at the Brno Magic School is of course to continue to explore the mysteries of magic. There is still a lot of knowledge in this school waiting for him to study and learn... He has been in this world for no more than half a year, and magic is still only half a year old. Learned a little bit.

"Okay, you can come and ask me anytime."

Catherine smiled slightly, with an intellectual and mature teacher's demeanor, Zhou Ming was a little absent-minded.

Smelling the faint scent of violets emanating from her body, Zhou Ming was a little distracted, and thought to himself: I am used to seeing the scenery, why am I still like a beginner?
Catherine could see Zhou Ming's performance, but maybe she had seen too much, she just blushed slightly and didn't take it seriously.

……

Zhou Ming's life seems to have returned to calm.

But this calm is only the short-lived calm before the storm.

How could it be so easy to let go of the various forces that want to deal with Zhou Ming?
For example, Martin directly asked for a month's leave, and wanted to practice "retreat" at home to improve his strength crazily.

Another piece of bad news for Zhou Ming was that the shop manager of Gannis Pharmacy, Mr. Hall, was invited by his friend to visit the Nabiu Kingdom thousands of miles away.

The journey takes about half a year.

Now the acting store manager of Gannis Pharmacy is his granddaughter Winnie.

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

Seeing the almost perfect smile on Wei Ni's beautiful face again, Zhou Ming's heart sank to the bottom of the [-]-meter sea.

He tentatively asked: "Sister Wei Ni, I won't run away from now on, let you beat me up, and we can turn our fighting into friendship, how about this?"

Winnie pouted and shook her head: "No."

"Ten times, let you beat ten times, how about it?"

Winnie smiled with two white teeth, but still shook her head: "No~"

At this moment, Zhou Ming's face was like a bitter melon.

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

"The store is out of stock."

"How about 100 gold coins?"

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

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

"500 gold coins a piece. Recently, the purchase price of medicinal materials has increased."

Winnie said lightly, directly increasing the previous price of the medicinal materials by ten times on the spot.

Zhou Ming wanted to cry but had no choice but to leave in a daze.

"Hahaha~"

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing his lost and leaving back, Winnie burst into laughter. She was called "Ice Beauty" in school, and she had never been so happy as she is today.

"Boy, are you begging me for mercy?"

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

"If I don't torture you enough, if I don't torture you and 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, smugly, and nervously.

She has only one thought about the object of incomparable hatred in her heart:
I will make you pay!

An extremely heavy price!
……

The sudden departure of store manager Hall, Zhou Ming, who was not mentally prepared, returned home and immediately thought hard about the countermeasures.

But in the entire Yadude Kingdom, there is only one official magic pharmacy, "Ganes Pharmacy", and he cannot obtain medicinal materials through other channels except here.

Even if a channel can be found, it will take a certain amount of time.

That is to say, after all the medicinal materials in hand are consumed, there will be at least a period of time when he will not be able to prepare magic potions.

This will cause a lot of inconvenience.

With Winnie's personality, no matter how much he apologized and subdued, she would try her best to play with him.

Of course, he still has a lot of [Tranquilizing Potion] in his hand, and he can last for a month or two, but once he runs out, there will be no medicinal materials for him to prepare new potions, and most of the "good brothers" around him will leave him. go.

However, without waiting for a month or two, only two days later, a news came like a bolt from the blue.

Winnie also started to sell [Sedative Potion] at a low price. The [Tranquilization Potion] she sold with a few girls only sold for 80 gold coins a bottle, and did not set any "core customer" targets. Buy it for 80 gold coins per bottle.

In addition, Wei Ni also revealed an explosive news: The actual cost of the [Sedative Potion] sold by Leylin was only 35 gold coins a bottle, but he tripled the price, claiming that it was sold at the cost price, this black-hearted profiteer, this shameless liar !
Boom~
The whole school was amazed.

Especially those "good brothers" around Zhou Ming were shocked.

"The cost of 35 gold coins, the core customers sell 100 gold coins, this..."

"Thirty or so gold coins, the preparation cost of tranquilizing medicine is so low?"

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

"Leylin, I misread you!"

"I'm not a core customer. The [Tranquilization Potion] I bought from a core customer cost 300 gold coins a bottle. I didn't expect that the real cost was only more than 30 gold coins, ten times, ten times the profit!"

"Black heart, what a black heart!"

"Leylin, I won't buy your calming potion anymore, I will return all the remaining three bottles to you, and you will return the money to me!"

Among the 30 "good brothers", except for a few brothers who didn't express anything, Zhou Ming's reputation was extremely bad in the evaluation of others, and more than half of the team dispersed.

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

What shocked him the most was that Winnie took this approach in order to destroy him, which was completely beyond his expectations.

This is a typical example of harming others at the expense of oneself!

"Crazy, that woman is really crazy!"
