These town portal scrolls are expensive, costing one silver coin each.

However, the wilderness is too far from the starting village. Just getting back to the starting village from the Black-bristled Boar's territory now takes Wang Ming an hour.

If you go to higher-level monster areas, it will take even longer.

Wang Ming then used 3 silver coins to buy 3 return scrolls.

Looking at the return scroll, Wang Ming then went to the apothecary.

"Sister Li, I need to buy medicine."

"Hehe, okay, choose whatever you like."

"Okay."

Looking at the dazzling array of potions, Wang Ming selected a few that would be useful to him this time.

Basic Health Regeneration Potion

Grade: First Grade

Description: After use, it continuously restores 300 health points over 10 seconds.

Cooldown time: 10 seconds

Note: Cannot be combined with other drugs of the same type.

...

Basic Strength Potion

Grade: First Grade

Description: After use, it increases the Strength attribute by 3 points, and the effect lasts for 30 minutes.

Cooldown time: 1 minute

Note: Cannot be combined with other drugs of the same type.

Price: 60 copper coins

...

Basic Stamina Potion

Description: After use, it increases the Stamina attribute by 3 points, and the effect lasts for 30 minutes.

Cooldown time: 1 minute

Note: Cannot be combined with other drugs of the same type.

Price: 60 copper coins

...

Wang Ming's current health points are 210, and he also has 15 beginner health recovery potions from the quest rewards in his inventory. He decides to buy a higher-level beginner health recovery potion.

"It restores 300 health points every 10 seconds, which is 30 points per second, greatly improving my survivability."

"However, both being health restoration potions, the basic health restoration potion and the beginner health restoration potion share a cooldown time and cannot be stacked, which is a major drawback!..."

"Sister Li, I want to buy 10 bottles of basic health recovery potion, 5 bottles of basic strength potion, and 5 bottles of basic stamina potion."

"Young man, you have good taste."

"System notification: You have obtained 10 Basic Health Recovery Potions."

"System notification: You have obtained 5 Basic Strength Potions."

"System notification: You have obtained 5 Basic Stamina Potions."

...

"Hey handsome, since you bought so many of my potions, I have a side job you can switch to. Do you want to switch?"

"A side job? Sister Li, what is a side job?"

"Side jobs are also called livelihood jobs, including pharmacist, weapon refiner, etc. I sell medicine, so my side job here is pharmacist."

"If you study to become a pharmacist, you will be able to make the corresponding medicines yourself based on the medicine scrolls."

"Furthermore, once you reach the main city, you will be able to find mentors from the Pill Association to advance your pharmacist to an alchemist and refine various pills."

Upon hearing Widow Li's words, Wang Ming suddenly realized what was going on.

"Sister Li, I'll learn."

"Hmm, this child is teachable."

"System notification: You have accepted the secondary profession - Pharmacist job change quest (F)."

Secondary Career - Pharmacist (F)

Introduction: A type of livelihood occupation; after learning, one can switch to a secondary occupation - Pharmacist.

Request: Please pay 50 copper coins to Widow Li at the apothecary.

Okay, money is required!

Wang Ming looked at the remaining 60-odd copper coins in his backpack, then took out 50 and handed them to Widow Li.

"System notification: You have completed the secondary profession - Pharmacist (F) job change quest and gained 50 experience points."

"System notification: You have become a secondary profession - Pharmacist, and have obtained Pharmacy Skill - Beginner Health Regeneration Potion Scroll *1, Pharmacy Skill - Beginner Mana Regeneration Potion Scroll *1."

Wang Ming opened his backpack, and sure enough, there were two scrolls inside.

Beginner's Health Restoration Potion Scroll

Introduction: After learning this skill, you can craft beginner health restoration potions.

Requirements: Pharmacist

New Mana Restoration Potion Scroll

Introduction: After learning this skill, you can craft new mana restoration potions.

Requirements: Pharmacist

Wang Ming casually clicked to learn two scrolls.

"System notification: Congratulations on learning the Art of Pharmacy - Beginner Health Recovery Potion."

"System notification: Congratulations on learning the Art of Alchemy - Beginner Mana Recovery Potion."

Opening the character attributes, a new sub-profession section was indeed added.

Secondary occupation: Pharmacist

Rank: First Grade

Proficiency: 0/1000

Description: Can be used to make various potions of grade one and below.

I have already learned pharmaceutical techniques:

Beginner's Health Restoration Potion

Grade: First Grade

Materials: Seven Star Grass

Effect: Restores 100 health points over 10 seconds.

Required Pharmacist Level: Grade 1 or above

...

Newbie Mana Restoration Potion

Grade: First Grade

Materials: Seven Star Grass

Effect: Restores 50 mana over 10 seconds.

Required Pharmacist Level: Grade 1 or above

...

So it turns out that Seven Star Grass is the raw material for this beginner's potion. No wonder the previous gathering quest required collecting this.

"Sister Li, how do I obtain the Medicine Making Scroll?"

"The only way to obtain the Medicine Making Scroll is from monsters outside, in addition to purchasing it from the apothecaries in each starting village and the main city."

"Young man, I happen to have some potion scrolls for sale here. Here, take a look." After Widow Li finished speaking, a new shop appeared in front of Wang Ming.

This shop has more than a dozen scrolls, all of them are scrolls for making medicine.

Pharmacy - Beginner Power Potion

Grade: First Grade

Price: 1 silver coin

...

Pharmacy - Basic Health Restoration Potion

Grade: First Grade

Price: 10 silver coins

...

"So, is there anything you like? If so, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

"Sister Li, let's forget about it. I really don't have any money. I'll come back to you when I have some."

"Hehe, okay, then Sister Li will be waiting for you~"

Widow Li did not show any displeasure when she saw that Wang Ming had no money to buy the scroll. Instead, she bent over and teased Wang Ming.

Although Widow Li is an NPC, her words and actions are just like those of a real person, and she is absolutely stunning in both appearance and figure.

Wang Ming exclaimed that he couldn't take it anymore, made an excuse, and fled in panic...

"Giggle~"

"Phew." Wang Ming glanced at the time; it was already past 7 p.m.

"Is it past 7 o'clock? It'll be time to wash up in a little while."

Since Wang Ming became a vegetable, Wang Gang has returned home every night at 8 o'clock to wash and groom Wang Ming.

After washing up, Wang Gang and Lin Muyu would tell Wang Ming stories, just like when Wang Ming was a child, telling him bedtime stories.

Three years have passed, and it remains the same.

After playing for more than 10 hours, Wang Ming felt a bit tired, so he logged off.

...

"Brother Gang, you're back." Lin Muyu took Wang Gang's coat and hung it on the hanger.

"Hmm, Mu Yu, how is our son today?"

"Sigh, it's the same as always, but this gaming pod has a massage function, I think Ming'er will feel more comfortable."

"Oh, that's good news. Come on, Mu Yu, let's go give our son a bath."

"Um."

The two arrived at Wang Ming's room and, as Wang Teng had instructed, first turned off the game pod's functions. Five minutes later, the two of them helped Wang Ming up from the game pod, one on each side.

"Brother Gang, why do I feel like Ming'er has gained weight and gotten a bit heavier?"

"Really? I don't feel any change."

"Mu Yu, I think you're too tired. Move aside, I'll carry our son to the bathroom."

"No, I want to help too."

"Okay, okay."
