Vol 6 Chapter 14: evildoer

After the instrument was moved to the apartment.
Zhou Ming's work every afternoon changed from studying magic to researching the configuration of pharmacy.
For magicians, potions are still very important.
It is an important prop to increase the speed of meditation.
Can also provide many auxiliary functions in combat.
In short, for an excellent magician, such items as potions are indispensable.
Naturally, Zhou Ming also hopes to save some costs in this area.
I even want to open up a fortune.
Because after observation, Zhou Ming found that in this aspect, only in the human world, more than 80% of the wealth is in the hands of the magician.
The magician is the top level of the pyramid.
On the one hand, the cost of becoming a magician is huge. Thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins are invested in idle time, which is less expensive.
Many people spend millions and tens of millions ... Every magician is piled up with gold coins.
And I do n’t know if Zhou Ming ’s annual fiscal revenue is more than 30 million gold coins?
On the other hand, it is very profitable.
The selling price of a lowest-level gain staff is tens of thousands.
A bottle of [Sedative Potion] with a 3-day effect is priced at 1,000.
A reel encapsulating level 1 magic costs more than 300 gold coins.
There are also a variety of magic books, potions recipes, scroll production process ... These knowledge carriers are very difficult to obtain and more expensive.
How much do magicians who have mastered these technologies and technical materials make?
Anyway, in Zhou Ming's heart, there are only two words of evaluation: profiteering.
Absolutely profiteering.
Zhou Ming also realized that making money for magicians is definitely easier than making money for nobles and can make more!
He also intends to start with the profession of "pharmacist" and enter the magician's market.
More than half a month later, he began research in this area.
23 flavored drugs = [sedative agent]
He tried to achieve this process.
But the preparation of medicaments is by no means as easy as most people think.
Drug quality and order of placement.
PH balance.
Temperature control.
Control of the consistency of the agent.
Even the rate of stirring.
All aspects are the key to the success of the preparation.
One detail missed and the preparation of the medicament failed.
And the more kinds of drugs, the higher the complexity and the higher the probability of failure.
For example, if there are 100 medicinal materials, a 100-step preparation operation is required. Even if the success rate of each step is 99%, if one hundred steps down, the formulated power is only 36%.
But in reality, even for a dozen flavors of medicinal materials, the preparation steps are not less than 100 steps.
The [Sedative Elixir] that Zhou Ming wants to formulate has 236 steps recorded on the formula, and no error can be made in each step.
In the first half of a month, Zhou Ming consumed hundreds of medicinal materials, but failed once.
The purchase of medicinal materials also costs money, even if the price of each medicinal material is sold by the Hall manager at a cost price-35 gold coins per serving, the loss of hundreds of copies is not a decimal.
"Boy, has the original form been revealed? In a month, I don't think you will succeed in a year." Every time Zhou Ming came to buy medicinal herbs, Winnie couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you want to bet? Can I bet for a month?" Zhou Ming still said this.
"Huh ~!" Winnie turned her head aside and ignored him.
After buying the medicinal materials, Zhou Ming continued to do his experiments and continuously improved.
In fact, an excellent pharmacist generally has two common characteristics: concentration and fine operation.
Concentration means that you can't be distracted during the preparation of the medicament, you must be energized, and you must not relax at all.
The precise operation is better understood, that is, it requires that every step in the preparation process is very accurate and that no errors can occur.
These two points are not difficult for Zhou Ming, and can even be perfect.
But why did it fail so many times?
"For details beyond the formal process, the host has not noticed that many of the foundations and principles of pharmacology are not yet understood by the host and cannot find the cause of failure."
"Only after thoroughly understanding all the principles, can we find the way to success."
The system explained.
Zhou Ming nodded.
In this state, he did n’t understand the Newtonian mechanics formula and went directly to the classic mechanics test. Even if he knew the answer, he still knew it but he did n’t know why, and he did n’t know what went wrong. Low-level errors became the source of his failure.
Learn.
First, study theoretical knowledge solidly.
He found the Hall manager and borrowed many books on pharmacy.
In addition, he bribed Carlos Page, the head of the magic bookstore, through magic cakes, stir-fried dishes, wine, and other foods, hoping that he would do something convenient and let him look at the books on pharmacy in his store.
For every meal, only one hour of borrowing time is changed, and the book is not damaged.
Carlos didn't want to take care of him at all, but when the food box was opened, the scent of dishes from the inside always shook his mind and was unconsciously attracted to him.
One day he couldn't help it, he took a sip.
After that, he became a slave to food, and he was addicted to those foods.
Naturally, the rich collection of books in the "Page Magic Bookstore" also gave Zhou Ming permission to read.
And Zhou Ming's reading speed is very fast, reading a million-word book in 15 minutes, let the system quickly enrich the database.
In this way, after about ten days of "charging", Zhou Ming, who learned a lot of pharmacological theories, finally discovered that his previous preparation experiments had made too many low-level mistakes that he should not have made, which led to repeated failures.
After learning the theoretical knowledge, Zhou Ming made another compounding experiment, only failed twice, and partly failed once. At the fourth time, he finally prepared a "perfect level" [sedative agent].
Pour the medicament into a glass vial, and get a total of 10 vials of 10ml of [sedative agent] (this time, he put in ten parts of raw materials).
In other words, Zhou Ming's success this time, he made all his previous investment back.
Zhou Ming was quite moved to see the ten perfect vials of the tranquility golden medicine in front of him.
"No matter in what world, the skill is only the shell, knowledge is the core. If you don't learn the knowledge well, no matter how exquisite the shell is, it will only produce a bunch of bugs."
"This is especially true in this magical world, as long as you have enough knowledge, you can almost create countless impossibles."
Therefore, no matter what field Zhou Ming wants to enter, and what professional rank badge he has won, he will first solidify his knowledge in this field.
...
December 10.
After a month.
Zhou Ming carrying a big bag, came to the "Gannis pharmacy" again.
After Winnie saw him at the counter, she began to ridicule as usual.
"Why? It's time to buy medicinal materials again? In the past month, you have purchased thousands of medicinal materials of" Shenshen Elixir ". The raw materials in the store have almost been bought by you. Is your pharmacy prepared successfully?"
"Actually, you really should bet with me, you missed a good opportunity." Zhou Ming looked at her.
"Yeah, I should promise to bet with you. There is no such thing as a novice who knows nothing in this world, and no one can be prepared with a" sedative agent "."
Winnie shook her head in annoyance. If she nodded her promise a month ago, today should be the day of taking the abominable boy's life in front of her.
It's just that this kid doesn't have any other skills, just bluffing, and she's the one who has been fooled once, then dare to do it again?
Zhou Ming took the bag from his back straight and put it on the counter, muttering in his mouth: "Thank you for the bottle of" Dragon Blood Elixir "that you asked me to drink last time, which made me a lot stronger, otherwise These 500 bottles of [Sedative Potion], I really ca n’t carry it alone. "
After he finished speaking, he opened his backpack and revealed what was in the bag.
Inside is a messy pile, without any individual packaging, and all are small glass bottles containing golden medicaments.
A total of 500 bottles of [Sedative Potion]!
"Boom ~"
Winnie's brain exploded into a blank state.
500 bottles of [Sedative Elixir]?
"This ... how is this possible? How is this possible?"
"You made it? How could it be made by you?"
Winnie murmured as if she had encountered the most incredible thing in the world.
Zhou Ming's words almost drove her into the abyss.
"These 500 bottles are my share of the Gannis pharmacy according to the agreement. There are 500 bottles in my house. If you don't believe it, you can go to my house to see it.
Not bad!
In five days, with nearly 100% of the formulated power ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Zhou Ming has prepared 1,000 bottles of [sedative agent].
"Boom ~"
Winnie rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
At this time, Manager Hall came over and was surprised when he learned what Zhou Ming said.
First of all, the exaggeration of the speed of preparation of pharmacy has made him feel that this is impossible.
Secondly, he bought more than 1,000 copies of medicinal materials for Zhou Ming. Excluding the failed parts, how did he use less than a thousand copies of medicinal materials to dispense a full 1,000 copies of the tranquilizer?
Even if it is 100% formulated into power, it is impossible!
"I improved the formula and improved the utilization rate of medicinal materials by improving the purification process, so that the original 1,000 copies of medicinal materials can be dispensed with 1200 medicines ... The utilization rate of medicinal materials has been increased by 20%."
"In addition, I also reduced the preparation steps, reduced the 236 steps in the formula to 171 steps, and ensured that the efficacy was completely consistent."
"Manager Hall, this is a new formula after my improvement, you can take a look."
Zhou Ming took out a document from his pocket and handed it to the Hall manager.
After receiving the information and looking at the demon in front of him, Manager Hall did not know what to say.
"Ah ~!"
Wei Ni on the side, as if greatly stimulated, screamed and went to her room like crazy.
In front of Zhou Ming's evil spirit, she seemed unable to stay for a second.
