章 29: I Didn’t Expect Them to Be So Weak
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
"I have to study hard. Even if I don't have a foundation, I can't give up. I have to become an Alchemist and buy herbs for the cat."
Qin Yue said to herself. Her big black eyes were filled with determination as she remembered the name of the herb.
The Giant Flower was priced at 100,000 yuan per flower. It was something that had a high price but no market!
After memorizing the Giant Flower in her mind, Qin Yue picked up the thick herb manual and studied hard, trying her best to recognize the herb.
She did not have any foundation, so Qin Yue had to start from the first page and memorize everything.
It was indeed not easy to learn such a thick herbal guide in a short period.
This also made it very difficult for Qin Yue to study.
On the other hand, the remaining nine apprentices all had a foundation and had studied it before. Most of them only flipped through it once and then went to learn something else.
Even Song Xiaomei had already picked up the medicinal herbs and was trying to concoct a hemostatic medicine.
Such a gap made Qin Yue feel even more anxious and nervous. As a result, her learning speed was also affected.
"Don't worry. With me around, everything is not a problem. Take your time and read."
Li Xuan leaned on Qin Yue's shoulder and said gently with a firm voice to comfort her.
This kind of comfort also made Qin Yue let out a sigh of relief and obediently study seriously.
The girl and the cat were immersed in their studies. From time to time, they would walk to the medicine cabinet and compare the herbs. They would observe the herbs and distinguish the smell of the herbs.
Time passed slowly in this atmosphere. Soon, three days had passed.
At noon, Qin Yue and the cat, who were in charge of keeping an eye on the shop, were reading on the counter. Since it was noon, it was time for the lunch break.
After reading for a while, Qin Yue felt a little sleepy. She fell asleep on the counter in a daze.
Only the little cat was quietly squatting in front of the illustrated book. Its little paws would flip over the illustrated book from time to time and read it seriously.
Click, clack!
The sound of high heels stepping on the ground rang out. This sound was very rhythmic.
Following this sound, the female Alchemist wearing a red cheongsam twisted her slender waist and slowly walked from the Alchemist's room to the main hall.
When she saw Qin Yue sleeping, the female Alchemist frowned and was slightly displeased.
However, when she saw a snow-white kitten seriously flipping through the illustrated handbook, the Female Alchemist revealed a surprised expression.
One had to know that learning was very boring. Even humans would feel very bored after learning for a period of time.
However, this snow-white kitten was actually looking at it so attentively. This was a little surprising.
"Interesting, really interesting."
The female Alchemist in the cheongsam twisted her voluptuous body and slowly stood beside the kitten, quietly watching it.
She watched it for more than ten minutes. During this process, the kitten had been seriously reading, paying attention, and being absorbed.
This kind of magical performance made the female Alchemist curious. She felt that this kitten was very unusual.
Yawn!
The sound of yawning rang out. Soon, the other apprentices who were on lunch break walked out of the lounge.
When they saw the female Alchemist, they hurriedly stood up properly and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Sister Qi."
With so many people shouting in unison and Song Xiaomei deliberately shouting very loudly, Qin Yue, who was sleeping, woke up and hurriedly stood up.
"Hello... Sister Qi."
"Yes, go wash your face. The first round of the test will be held later. Those who score below six can leave," the female Alchemist in the Cheongsam said somewhat unhappily.
She was already 26 years old. She did not like people calling her 'boss' or 'master' the most. She liked people calling her 'sister' the most.
That was why everyone in the shop called her that. However, she was very unhappy this day because she failed to refine the medicine, and Qin Yue was sleeping. She frowned deeply.
Everyone naturally noticed this and noticed that she was frowning. Everyone became cautious and worried that they would be fired.
Five minutes later...
After washing up, everyone stood in the hall and waited quietly for Sister Qi to come up with a question.
"The total score is ten points. If you answer one question correctly, you will get one point. Now, I will come up with ten questions. Write down the medicinal properties, environment, and forbidden medicinal herbs on the paper."
Sister Qi took out a small blackboard and quickly wrote down the ten questions. Then, she walked around the crowd and looked around.
Rustle! Rustle!
The sound of writing slowly sounded. Everyone lowered their heads and tried hard to answer the questions. However, the questions this time were too difficult, and many of the questions were not in the medicinal materials illustrated handbook.
This also caused everyone present to be very nervous. They felt that things were going to be bad.
Among them, Qin Yue was the most worried because she realized that she only knew one type of medicinal herb, and she did not know anything else.
Qin Yue instantly panicked at the thought of having to leave if she had less than six points, especially when sister Qi stood beside her, which made Qin Yue's palms sweat even more.
"Don't worry, write according to what I say." Li Xuan opened his mouth and began to communicate with Qin Yue telepathically.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Li Xuan."
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Qin Yue's heart calmed down as if she had found her backbone and began to seriously answer the questions according to Li Xuan's instructions.
Sister Qi initially saw that Qin Yue was panicking. At the moment, seeing that Qin Yue had suddenly regained her composure and was able to answer the difficult questions one by one, surprised her.
One had to know that this question was very difficult. It was because she was in a bad mood. She had deliberately set such a question so that she could chase away more apprentices.
Initially, she wanted to chase Qin Yue away as well. However, that cat was too cute. Sister Qi was a little reluctant to part with it, so she slowly changed her mind.
As for whether Qin Yue did well in the exam, it was up to Sister Qu to decide.
However, Qin Yue answered the questions so quickly. This was surprising, and Sister Qi did not expect it.
"Did I misjudge her? Is this girl very powerful? No, she doesn't seem to be such a scheming person. Could it be related to this cat?"
Qi Jie was puzzled. She felt that it had something to do with this cat.
Amidst her confusion, it was finally time for the examination to stop. Sister Qi took a piece of paper and began to grade.
As expected...
There were very few questions that everyone could answer. Only seven people passed. Other than Qin Yue, the highest score within the rest was only 8 points.
Only Qin Yue's score reached 9 points. This result was really surprising.
On the opposite, the apprentices stood nervously as they watched Sister Qi grade the exam papers. They were all uneasy.
The main reason was that the questions were too difficult. They were all very worried.
"Brother Li Xuan, why didn't you answer the last question? Is it too difficult?" Qin Yue asked in her heart.
"No, it's a very simple exam question. I've seen the herbs in these questions in the Summoned Beast World. It's super simple..."
"The reason why you shouldn't answer the questions was to hide your strength. You shouldn't perform too well and cause others to be jealous...
"There's a saying that goes, 'when a tree is tall in the forest, the wind will destroy it.' If we answer it with a score of 9, we won't Look so outstanding anymore," Li Xuan warned.
"I see. I understand. Thank you, Brother Li Xuan." Qin Yue nodded her head in confusion. She seemed to have gained something.
"Alright, let's announce the scores now."
Sister Qi stood up and scanned the room. Finally, her gaze landed on Qin Yue.
"Zhao Mengmeng has 8 points, Song Xiaomei has 7 points, Ye Fan has 6 points, Niu Yanan has 6 points... Finally, the one with the highest score is Qin Yue with 9 points."
"What? 9 points? She had actually gotten 9 points? How is that possible? They're such difficult questions," someone said in surprise.
"That's right. Doesn't she have no foundation? How could she get nine points? Even Mengmeng only got eight points. She learned to recognize medicine since she was young."
Everyone looked at Qin Yue in surprise. They couldn't believe that Qin Yue actually got nine points. This was a little scary.
"This is Qin Yue's paper. You'll know when you see it. The answer is very standard. She did not answer the tenth question at all. Could it be that she doesn't know how to do it or that she's too lazy to do it?"
Sister Qi handed the test paper over for everyone to read.
After everyone passed the test paper over, they all looked at Qin Yue in disbelief.
They felt that Qin Yue was really amazing. She actually answered so well. She even wrote down the growing environment of the plants. The key points were written in great detail.
This time, everyone completely believed her. The way they looked at Qin Yue completely changed.
In the center of everyone's line of sight.
Qin Yue stood in a daze. She nervously swallowed her saliva and whispered in her heart.
"Brother Li Xuan, didn't you say that you wanted to hide your strength? Why did it turn out like this?"
"I made a mistake. I didn't expect them to be so weak. I'm sorry." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"Eh?"
Qin Yue was stunned. Although what Brother Li Xuan said was the truth, why did she feel that Brother Li Xuan's words were very infuriating?
If Song Xiaomei were to hear this sentence, she would probably pull the cat's ear.
