Chapter 87 Serial Explosions
After Chongjiu finished speaking and sat down, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. He breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over!
The host on the stage didn't say anything else. After all, no matter how powerful these pharmacists were, they were not something he could afford to offend. So he said with a smile:
"Then let us welcome the representative of the Imperial Pharmacists to speak."
There were no more unnecessary questions from the Empire side. Sheng Yuan stood up and began to speak. Liu Qingqing looked at the handsome uncle standing straight, with a noble temperament, which was very pleasing to the eye.
However, the content of his speeches was still the same, saying that he was very happy to speak here, how great the Imperial Pharmacist was, and hoped that everyone would support him. He also hoped that new people would emerge in the pharmacist industry.
Anyway, it was all very official words, and Liu Qingqing felt sleepy just listening to them, but she didn't show it. Her character required her to sit upright, her face as cold as ice, and to keep people at a distance, but she was still very dedicated to maintaining her character.
After the imperial representatives finished their speeches, the Pharmacist Conference officially began. The competition was divided into three rounds.
One round allowed new pharmacists to showcase their abilities, another gave apprentices of these master pharmacists a chance to showcase their abilities, and the final round saw one representative from each side, the Empire and the Alliance. Generally speaking, the pharmacist who performed in the final round was also the master of the winner of the second round.
This conference is not only a test for these newcomers, but also a display of the strength of both the Alliance and the Empire, and a good opportunity for pharmacists to gain reputation.
After the host finished speaking, he announced the start of the first game. Liu Qingqing sat on the stage and watched everything below boredly.
The newcomers competed in batches. Most of them had different methods of handling spiritual plants, the order of placing them, and other aspects. After all, they figured it out on their own without anyone teaching them, so this was normal.
Being a pharmacist is actually not easy. First of all, the methods and techniques for processing spiritual plants are already very complicated. Secondly, the most important thing is to put the processed spiritual plants into the medicine furnace to awaken the spirit.
This is also the simplest and most basic way to determine whether a person has the opportunity to become a pharmacist. If a person cannot even wake up, then he cannot become a pharmacist.
Whether or not you have the ability to awaken your spirit depends on your talent. That's right, it depends on your talent alone. If you are not born with the talent to awaken your spirit, then you will never be able to become a pharmacist in the future.
Therefore, the pharmacist industry is also very cruel. You can't become a pharmacist just by hard work. In many cases, talent is more important than hard work in this industry. In other words, no matter how many years of hard work you put in, you may not be as talented as a five-year-old child.
Not to mention that the price of spiritual plants is not something that ordinary families can afford.
Liu Qingqing also benefited from her wood-related abilities. Fortunately, all her abilities came with her, otherwise it would be impossible for her to become a pharmacist based on her physical condition alone.
Just when Liu Qingqing was bored, the new people below had been replaced one after another. Suddenly, Liu Qingqing seemed to have discovered something interesting and grinned in the direction below.
That smile was extremely brilliant, and it was somewhat inconsistent with Liu Qingqing's current identity. However, because of her face, the beauty's smile was extremely captivating.
However, the person she was looking at was not so calm, because this person was none other than the man at the gate who claimed to be a righteous man and stood up to resist Liu Qingqing.
The man had spoken of how selfless he was before, but now he was so anxious and worried.
All he could think about was: What should I do? Had that woman really found him? Could the powder she had spread really help him locate his location?
No, no, it's impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
The man's mind went blank in his panic, forgetting he was even in a competition. His hands kept moving, but they were all done haphazardly, and his awakening was a mess.
His medicine furnace gradually became hotter and hotter, and continued to shake. The man finally focused his attention on the medicine furnace and discovered its abnormality.
He was about to take remedial measures, but found that it was too late. No matter what he did, the medicine furnace continued to shake and make a terrifying banging sound.
The man was finally scared. He wanted to stand up and run, wanting to log off and leave the place as soon as possible. However, he found that he couldn't log off at all.
He then remembered that this place had also been processed by instruments, and he could not log off without a certain time, so no matter how many times the man clicked on the page, he could not log off.
Finally, the medicine furnace exploded as expected. Because he was very close to it, he was injured the most. However, the power of the medicine furnace was not particularly great, and it had no effect on his normal movements.
But the explosion happened to affect the people nearby. When the people around them shook their hands, their medicine furnaces exploded one after another. The explosion was like dominoes, one after another.
Liu Qingqing was watching with great interest. She really had never expected that her smile could trigger such a series of events.
But of course Liu Qingqing didn't feel guilty at all. She just smiled. What did it have to do with her? Wasn't it all that man's fault?
So Liu Qingqing smiled again with a hateful look.
Because Liu Qingqing's previous use of the powder had made her a big splash, many people focused their attention on her. Liu Qingqing hadn't taken these glances to heart, but now those people were like they had seen a ghost.
They had been paying close attention to the development of this matter, and naturally knew that the man became distracted because of Liu Qingqing's smile.
That ghostly look reminded them of the man at the gate. Could it be that Liu Qingqing really developed the positioning powder?
The people who were competing below finally came to their senses and suddenly realized that the competition they had prepared for for so long was ruined because of this explosion. Fortunately, the explosion of the medicine furnace was relatively small, otherwise they might have directly logged out of the meta-world.
Their eyes were red as they all turned to look towards the explosion's origin, which was exactly the direction of the man. They were furious and moved towards the man, forming a circle around him.
What happened next was even simpler: a group of people surrounded one person, and no one stepped forward to stop them. Everyone knew the importance of this competition, and many people had prepared for this event for years, but everything was ruined because of this one person.
The other audience members expressed their understanding, saying that if they were the pharmacists on the stage, they might have been even more ruthless. The other pharmacists who finished the competition or did not compete breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they did not compete in the same round with this person.
In the end, the man finally managed to escape from the chaos. He was already covered in wounds and looked extremely pitiful. However, not many people felt sorry for him. If it was a girl, some people might have shown some sympathy, but for a man, the people in the interstellar world tended to believe in the survival of the fittest.
No one in the universe will pity a weak man.
