Chapter 49: First-level Alchemist Certification
"We'll go down later." Ye Shi held Mu Chen's hand and frowned.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi in confusion and asked, "Why?"
"Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu are downstairs, I don't want to bump into them." Ye Shi pouted and said somewhat willfully.
Mu Chen nodded and said obediently, "I'll listen to you. I don't want to meet them either."
Ye Shi made sure that Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu had gone far away before he walked out of the box with Muchen with peace of mind.
"Where are we going next?" Ye Shi asked Mu Chen.
"My father asked me to go to the Pharmacist Guild to get certified as a first-level alchemist." Mu Chen said lightly.
"First-level alchemist certification?" Ye Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! You don't know that a first-level alchemist can receive a subsidy of thirty Yuanshi every month from the Alchemist Guild. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing. Over the years, it's also a considerable income."
Ye Shi couldn't help but frown. He didn't have to do anything for a month, but he got thirty Yuanshi. Mu Chen still thought it was not enough. He worked hard to slaughter pigs and sheep for a month, but only earned thirty Yuanshi.
"I heard that there are more second-level alchemists, and they seem to get a subsidy of 300 yuan stones a month." Mu Chen smiled at Ye Shi.
"Alchemists really make money." Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said gritting his teeth.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! Let's go."
As Mu Chen walked to the door of the Alchemist Guild, a heavenly voice immediately reached Mu Chen's ears. In an instant, Mu Chen was struck by lightning, and his ghost would not disappear!
"Mu Chen, why are you here?" Zhuang Yu opened her big eyes and looked at Mu Chen innocently.
Ye Shi looked at Zhuang Yu with a gloomy gaze, stretched out his hand, and pinched Mu Chen hard.
Mu Chen made a bitter face and couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't want to do this! How could he have known that he would bump into someone like Zhuang Yu even though he had been avoiding her so much? Fate was really hard to explain!
"Mu Chen is here to get certified as a first-level alchemist." Ye Shi said as he stood in front of Mu Chen with a protective look on his face.
Zhuang Yu glanced at Mu Chen and asked in surprise, "Mu Chen, are you able to refine a first-level pill now?"
"He just came here to try his luck. He's still a long way to go. Why are you here?" Ye Shi asked Zhuang Yu warily.
Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "I'm here with Ruofeng. He's here to collect his subsidy. He's a second-level alchemist, and he gets a subsidy of 300 Yuanshi per month."
"Three hundred yuan, yes!" Ye Shi rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Chen thoughtfully.
Mu Chen rolled his eyes. What were he looking at? It wouldn't be long before he would have this many too.
"Mr. Chen, are you here for the first-level alchemist certification?" Lan Ruofeng walked out with his hands behind his back and asked with a cold expression.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ye Shi frowned with some dissatisfaction. Although Lan Ruofeng's face was calm, there was unconcealable contempt in the depths of his eyes. Lan Ruofeng's expression made Ye Shi feel a little disgusted. Why did Lan Ruofeng look at Mu Chen like this? Even if he was a second-level alchemist, he was also a first-level alchemist.
"Young Master Chen, the Alchemist Guild comes to conduct certification every day to prevent some people from making malicious troubles and affecting the normal operation of the guild. A first-level alchemist certification requires a fee of 300 yuan stones. I know that Young Master Mu has a large family and a lot of money, so he doesn't care about such a small amount of money. However, if you are not sure, you'd better be cautious." Lan Ruofeng looked at Mu Chen indifferently.
"Three hundred Yuanshi!" Ye Shi couldn't help but grit his teeth, thinking: No wonder they say alchemy is a money-burning job! He works in a restaurant, and only earns thirty Yuanshi a month. It takes ten months to save enough for an alchemist certification.
"Are you sure?" Ye Shi turned his head and asked Mu Chen.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I want to try."
Ye Shi frowned, tugged at Mu Chen's sleeve, and pulled Mu Chen aside, saying, "Be careful! If you fail, you won't be able to get the Yuan Shi back. Three hundred Yuan Shi can buy a hundred lotus leaf chickens."
Mu Chen: "..." It seems that Shi Tou really likes eating chicken!
"Shi Tou, if the certification is passed, there will be many benefits in the future." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi bit his lip and said worriedly, "Then go ahead. Be careful when refining the elixir."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Ye Shi nervously let go of Mu Chen's hand, looked at the people from the Alchemist Guild with a painful expression, took Mu Chen's Yuanshi card, and deducted three hundred Yuanshi.
