After learning her lesson that day, Xu Ling really took the mission seriously.
Although she was somewhat unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't fight against the powerful, powerful forces, and she had no choice but to obey.
Fortunately, the reliable person made the task easier for her; otherwise, imagine if she had to ask every single person she met, "Hey, want a baby?"
Xu Ling: ······
I don't know how others reacted, but she herself immediately got goosebumps all over her body and felt a chill run down her spine. At the same time, she also had a strong urge to kill herself!
But to be honest, even if the reliable one helped her reduce the difficulty of the task, it didn't seem to make much difference to her.
After all, asking someone "Do you want to date?" is also quite disgusting!
Xu Ling unconsciously shrugged her shoulders, as if trying to shake something dirty off them.
Despite her inner turmoil and reluctance, she bravely took the first step in order to avoid being punished by the system.
Because much of the knowledge that witches need to learn overlaps with that of apothecaries, many of the witches' courses are taken together with those of apothecaries.
It was fortunate that she was with pharmacist students, and not with other students. After all, a large portion of the pharmacists were similar in personality to the witches—quiet, somewhat aloof, and one could say that witches and pharmacists were of the same kind.
Perhaps for this reason, witches and apothecaries generally have a good relationship. Basically, after spending a lot of time together in class, many witches and apothecaries become friends.
Of course, Xu Ling was the same. Besides becoming friends with many witches because of mutual respect, she also had several apothecary friends.
Xu Ling's first task was to choose one of her pharmacist friends.
As for why no one was chosen from among the witches...
One thing must be made clear: Xu Ling has absolutely no intention of making a move on girls unless they take the initiative. Otherwise, girls will definitely be outside her range of potential suitors.
This doesn't mean there were no men among the witches. Although they were all called witches, there were actually a few men mixed in.
Xu Ling had considered them at first glance, but seeing that there were only two or three solitary seedlings among the witches, and that they seemed even more shy than girls...
Xu Ling inexplicably felt that it would be extremely inhumane to harm them!
Similarly, even though she chose to become a pharmacist, she treated everyone equally, excluding those who seemed timid and shy.
Xu Ling's first target is a pharmacist named William, who has a common name found in British and American TV dramas.
William is not as good as his name suggests. He is not the steady person that is stereotypically portrayed. On the contrary, he is cheerful and enthusiastic and often takes the initiative to help his classmates solve problems.
Unsurprisingly, Xu Ling had also received favors from him, and they even became casual acquaintances because of it.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that William seems to have a girl he's currently secretly in love with.
This is why Xu Ling chose William as the most crucial reason.
She's not stupid!
Rather than finding someone who knows nothing and having to teach them step by step, wouldn't someone like William better meet her requirements and allow her to complete the task more quickly?
Even though she only has the title of Goddess of Fertility and has absolutely no experience in anything related to relationships, Xu Ling is inexplicably full of confidence at this moment.
She has the perfect combination of timing, location, and people; by any measure, she's got two of those advantages, so she's sure to get her first target!
However, reality will not change because of personal will. Even if Xu Ling made a solemn vow, the result will still be the same.
Xu Ling failed.
The most embarrassing thing wasn't that she failed despite her efforts; quite the opposite, her opportunistic nature meant that she simply seized the opportunity before William was about to confess, offering a seemingly encouraging "I wish you success," and then...
Then, William's confession failed completely!
It is said that the scene was quite tragic. Originally, the other party seemed to have some feelings for William as well. However, for some reason, what should have been a heartfelt confession turned into William's shameless harassment!
In short, Xu Ling was utterly stunned when she heard this gossip from others. She was completely incredulous!
I don't understand how her opportunistic choice could have resulted in such a spectacular failure.
It was just a matter of breaking through a thin layer of paper, and yet it still failed?
Xu Ling couldn't understand it, but no matter how much she couldn't understand, she could only accept it. Seeing that punishment was about to come again, she didn't have any extra time to think about the reasons behind it, and could only turn to find another target.
However, it's unclear whether fate was against her or if she was just unlucky. Despite making choices that she had carefully considered, they all failed without exception!
It failed.
Thinking of how her targets, who were always overjoyed when she gave them blessings, would all look miserable the next day, Xu Ling sighed deeply.
Perhaps her divine status shouldn't be that of the Goddess of Fertility, but rather the Goddess of Singles?
Just when Xu Ling was feeling frustrated and helpless, she was unaware that her reputation among pharmacists was quietly changing.
I don't know which brilliant person was summarizing the experiences of all the losers when they suddenly realized: Hey, why is that witch everywhere? Xu Ling's figure is in it?
At first, Da Congming only felt that it was a little strange. After all, Xu Ling's unusual appearance was bound to attract attention.
But as Da Congming silently observed, he finally realized that Xu Ling's figure was consistently present in the series of failures that followed. Although she didn't have much contact with her, only occasionally exchanging a word or a few actions, she was the "culprit"!
