Chapter 5 Yellow Needle
"ah!?"
The little crow's hands were a little messy, and there was a hint of confusion and anxiety in his eyes!
Nineteen tasks is a difficult task to accomplish unless some rough methods are used.
Are you a reckless man? Have the sea monster tanks been destroyed?
She immediately checked all the sea beast jars, fearing that there might be something wrong with the precious medicinal materials.
Just as Chen Qi said, nineteen jars of medicinal materials have been extracted, and the extraction is very beautiful.
Moreover, the sea beasts she raised usually looked listless, but today they were unexpectedly full of energy!
This also means that there are very few mistakes in operation.
It was done beautifully... The little crow heaved a sigh of relief, his face flushed slightly, and he felt a little happy.
But then he thought again, there was no reason to hit him, and the little crow sighed again:
"well……"
Chen Qi suddenly shuddered again, as if he was hit by a whip.
What are you sighing about? I spent half an hour and worked hard to complete this difficult task!
Chen Qi could feel that although he had done a great job, the other party wanted to slap him from the bottom of his heart!
The little crow adjusted his mask.
She didn't really want to spank the other person, nor was she a sadist.
As a staunch fan of the deep sea, she just wanted to find a reason to ask Chen Qi to take off his shirt again so that she could take another look at the sea beast pattern on his back.
Then give him two symbolic slaps on the butt.
But there are nineteen of them! That's a lot of work!
Otherwise I will also beat him nineteen times. No, no, no, this is simply a sick and hellish idea... The little crow denied.
I guess the other party must have spent a lot of time and effort, carefully reading every word of the "Guide to the Use of Marine Animal Medicinal Materials" and racking his brains to achieve this.
He was frightened by the terrifying cries of sea beasts during the process, but despite this, he still overcame the fear in his heart and completed the job beautifully!
Moreover, this was done on an empty stomach!
Having worked so hard, she couldn't do as Captain Black Eyes said and find fault with the other party.
The little crow, who was tired after a day's work, collapsed on the chair and smiled:
"Nineteen? How did you do that?"
It's hard to achieve by hard work alone.
Chen Qi recalled the original owner's memory and rubbed his hands:
"I was born in the town of Damaro in the Moonstone Islands. I helped fishermen deal with some sea beasts. I also took the college entrance examination before, so my comprehension is pretty good."
In this post-apocalyptic world, after hundreds of years of peace, each country has established academies dedicated to training extraordinary people.
The country where he starts is called the Kingdom of Bei, a country that values money and has developed industries. The education industry is on the rise.
In Bei Country, there are many excellent academies that train extraordinary people.
However, unlike the colleges on Earth, the admission requirements of these colleges are more stringent, and the vast majority of students are descendants of nobles or powerful extraordinary people.
If civilians want to be admitted to the academy, they need to have high enough inspiration and talent and pass various difficult professional examinations to be eligible to enter. The admission rate is extremely low.
"Oh? You also went to college?"
The little crow had never imagined that this little slave, like her, had once been a candidate for college entrance examination.
Even among the common people, families willing to take exams all have some assets, and becoming a slave on a pirate ship is a low probability event.
Chen Qi replied:
"Yes, I have a little inspirational talent. I took the entrance exam to the Royal University twice, but failed both times."
"I applied to a medical school co-founded with the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom."
"Oh, did you pass the exam?"
Chen Qi asked, in the game information created by the players, it was only mentioned that the little crow had good medical skills, but there was no mention of the little crow's academic qualifications.
As soon as the question was asked, the warm atmosphere instantly became a little frozen.
“…”
The image of a whip suddenly appeared in Chen Qi's mind, and it seemed that he shouldn't ask this question.
If I passed the exam, how could I end up on a pirate ship, being a crazy female pirate all day, and chatting and laughing with a captured slave... The little crow was speechless and said:
"What do you think? You know, there are very few places for this kind of jointly-run medical school. We can only take what the nobles and wealthy businessmen leave behind...
Of course, my own abilities were not up to par at that time. I was complacent after becoming a first-level extraordinary 'physician apprentice', and missed this precious opportunity.
After I passed the medical apprenticeship exam, I decided to venture out into the world for various reasons."
As the little crow spoke, he inexplicably felt sad.
"Medical Apprentice Certificate!?"
According to the laws of the kingdom, only those with a primary medical certificate can become a formal "doctor".
An apprentice certificate does not qualify you to practice medicine.
Chen Qi was slightly surprised. In his impression, Little Crow’s medical skills were very impressive, and he actually went out into the world right after passing the apprenticeship exam.
This is an unlicensed operation! He is definitely a black doctor!
But this is normal on a pirate ship full of good and bad people.
I've been underestimated... The little crow clenched his fists and boasted:
“Don’t think that I only have an apprenticeship certificate, that’s just because my identity is not suitable for taking the exam.
In the study of deep sea diseases, I may be even better than the legendary healer, the Flower Witch!"
"Oh, I see."
Gurgle~
Suddenly, Chen Qi's stomach made a soft gurgling sound.
He is hungry.
According to the rules of the ship, new crew members are not eligible to eat in the restaurant. Only after completing a job with the pirate ship can they eat hot meals in the restaurant.
The tired little crow looked at the bread on the cupboard and immediately sat up.
She came here to establish her authority and reward Chen Qi, so why did she end up chatting with him?
We were having a great time chatting!
If this continues, my prestige will be completely gone. I'm afraid that in a few days, people will secretly call me Little Crow... The Little Crow handed him two pieces of bread:
"Eat some bread first, with dried fruit."
Chen Qi took the bread, took a bite, and the slightly sweet taste of dried fruits burst on his taste buds.
Cool!
Compared to modern bread, it was as hard as a rock, but for Chen Qi who had been hungry all day, it was simply the ultimate delicacy.
Little Raven picked up her medicine box:
"I almost forgot about your reward."
According to their agreement, if he can complete more than ten tasks, he will be given a special potion.
"Extraordinary potion..."
Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water. As a master player, he knew the importance of potions.
If you want to fight monsters of higher levels in the early stages, both healing potions and strength potions are essential items!
The little crow opened the secret layer of his medicine box, inside which were stored many precious extraordinary potions!
Chen Qi took a bite of bread and looked expectant.
The little crow muttered to himself while searching:
"This... No, this medicine is too strong, your body can't handle it. This is for dogs, it won't work either... This is for women, it won't work either..."
Finally, she held a yellow syringe of medicine.
The golden liquid in the syringe emits a golden glow!
Chen Qi's eyes flashed, that was most likely the most useful extraordinary potion in the early stage - the yellow needle!
"This is too expensive, and it's not..."
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.
Although we didn't spend much time together.
But she had a very good impression of Chen Qi. He did not behave like a slave. He was serious enough in his work and had a good learning ability.
At the same time, he is not much older than me and has endless possibilities.
“This is an improved version…”
The little crow was a little conflicted. It seemed a bit too generous to give this potion to a newcomer.
There is also an unknown sea beast in his spine, and it is unknown how long he can live.
The little crow turned its head and looked at Chen Qi again with a sympathetic look.
With this condition, it would be a question whether I can return home safely without taking some tonic medicine.
And if we don't give it to him, he will be cheated away by the greedy black-eyed captain sooner or later.
"Forget it, just bleed a little!"
Anyway, as the other party's immediate superior, as long as he is alive, sooner or later, she will be able to squeeze more value from him.
The little crow handed the special yellow potion to Chen Qi.
"Take your reward! Remember, this is the ship doctor of the Black Whale Sawshark, given to you by Sister Crow! It is also my improved masterpiece!"
"Thank you, Sister Crow! I will keep it in mind!"
Chen Qi held the bread in his mouth and took the precious yellow injection with both hands.
The illusory words appeared before my eyes again.
【Yellow injection-modified:
Appearance: Cup
Description: A special potion produced from the cracks in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.
It can greatly enhance a person's energy and endurance within 20 hours.
It also slightly enhances a person's self-healing ability, ability value, and venom resistance, and permanently improves physical fitness and randomly changes attributes.
This potion has been reformulated with special deep-sea herbs and has a stronger effect than the original potion.
Note: Most potions that permanently increase properties cannot be used repeatedly. 】
Yellow needle! Good stuff!
If he wasn't eating bread, Chen Qi would definitely exclaim "Oh".
It not only enhances a person's combat effectiveness, but also permanently increases attributes.
Among the potions that ordinary players can get in the early stages of the game, there are not many that can permanently increase attributes, and the yellow needle is one of the best.
Although it says that the properties change randomly, after data statistics, overall, the random properties of the yellow needle are positive.
This kind of rare imported product costs a lot of money.
If the pistol collector could buy five slaves like him, then Yellow Needle could definitely buy ten! Ten in total!
Wait, how did I become a unit of measurement... Chen Qi complained in his heart.
The little crow made a gesture as if she was about to get an injection, and showed her signature pirate sneer:
"Do you know what this is?"
"Yes, I have heard of this potion in big cities. It is quite expensive. Thank you, Sister Crow."
Chen Qi said sincerely.
You know! The little crow grinned, and his smile became even more terrifying:
"Hehehe~
This is my improved product, which is reformulated with marine animal fluid and is an excellent product that was produced after many experiments.
If I were in medical school, I could definitely apply for my own patent for this drug!"
The little crow closed the medicine box and restrained his smile, so as not to lose the dignity of his boss:
“Good things all have a price. You can only earn enough money for this potion if you can complete the extraction of 19 jars of sea beast medicinal materials every day.
By the way, my improved product needs time to take effect. It just so happens that I need to reach the crack tomorrow morning, so I can use it up tomorrow morning.
In the rift, you just need the strength that the potion provides."
“Reach the rift tomorrow morning!”
Chen Qi looked at the golden potion in his hand and analyzed the current situation in his mind.
Today, he spent some time learning about the status of the Sawshark and the cracks.
The Sawshark is a low-ranking ship in the Black Whale Group, with a crew of about sixty people.
And because of manpower constraints, the operation to explore the crack requires the mobilization of all personnel, and most of the slaves on the ship are also used in the cracks.
At the same time, five steam boats equipped with propellers were deployed to prevent emergencies.
These steam boats are right at the stern of the ship and it is not difficult to get them.
Everyone will participate in the rift instance, as well as the escape ship.
The escape plan was not a castle in the air, but a practical plan.
However, this plan requires a time, a time when everyone is in chaos.
Looking at Chen Qi's thinking expression, the little crow thought he was scared.
Not everyone is like the pirates, who are seduced by treasure and lose their respect for life.
The little crow soothed:
“Don’t worry, although the rift is dangerous, the Black Whale Group will reward the crew members who participate in the operation.
This trip to the rift is one of the major operations.
The Black Whale Pirates have a strong foundation. As long as you have half a year of experience, you will have the opportunity to obtain a professional card and become a transcendent.
After this trip to the rift, if you can do a few more jobs with the Sawshark, you can get half a year of experience.
At that time, I can help you apply for a cup-shaped [Medical Apprentice] career card. If you are lucky enough, becoming a second-level career is not a fantasy. "
"The cup-shaped 'Medicine Apprentice' occupation card..."
Chen Qi held his chin in his hand and thought.
Profession cards are produced from cracks, just like magic potions, they are essential items for becoming extraordinary.
At the same time, each occupation card has sexual attributes.
In the setting of the New Sun world, there are a total of thirteen sexual aspects, representing different powers and symbols, just like gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are important attributes of extraordinary powers.
For example, the cup aspect of the [Apprentice Physician] career card represents symbols of evolution, flesh and blood, life, and eternity.
As a high-level player, Chen Qi remembered the abilities of nearly a hundred extraordinary professions.
[Physician Apprentice], a first-level career card, can gain two passive abilities: basic disease resistance and basic self-healing physique, increase the comprehension of medical knowledge learning, and come with a basic spiritual healing technique.
The little crow imitated the tone of the black-eyed captain and continued:
“Whether in the Black Whale Pirates or elsewhere, doctors are a scarce and respected position.
This rift is quite important. If we can find the hunter's treasure in the mission, it will be a great achievement!
If you find the treasure, you can even say that as long as you can get out of this crack alive, you will be fine, even if you don't take the dangerous voyage afterwards.
If you can survive half a year, you will be able to obtain the valuable [Doctor Apprentice] Career Card!"
Half a year... Chen Qi frowned and asked a question:
"Sister Crow, will I really live to see half a year from now?"
The little crow suddenly became speechless, as if something was stuffed in its mouth.
Indeed, as a new pirate, how could it be so easy to survive in a pirate group for more than half a year?
Not to mention that the Black Whale Pirates' voyages are becoming more and more dangerous, and the Kingdom Navy is cracking down on them more and more severely due to their reputation as the Four Emperors of Pirates.
Chen Qi already had the answer in his mind.
Sorry, he has no interest in the nanny profession now! What a rubbish profession!
If it were peacetime, and he didn't have a natural affinity for the deep sea, he might actually consider becoming a ship's doctor.
But according to the background of the game, the power that destroyed the world has returned, and the Black Whale Group has completely fallen into madness for the ancient power...
The little crow also turned into a monster and died while trying to stop the Black Whale Group's massacre.
If he really follows Little Crow to become a ship's doctor, studies medicine hard, and continues along this path...
Perhaps before long, he would experience the ending of his life in this world. After fighting hard for the Black Whale Group, he would die at the hands of the Black Whale Group just like Little Crow.
Studying medicine can't save the world, nor can it save yourself.
Not to mention, this extraordinary career will take a full half year to obtain.
Staying in the Black Whale Group is definitely not a wise choice.
The atmosphere between the two is somewhat subtle. They are about to reach the rift and neither of them may survive.
It was late at night, and the little crow shook his head:
“Don’t worry, you are already a member of the Black Whale Group, nothing will happen tomorrow, go to bed early, I still have some work to do.
There are no extra crew rooms, so you can sleep right here. There is a blanket next to the bookcase."
"OK……"
Chen Qi's eyelids drooped.
Fighting with the Black Bull and suffering from long-term malnutrition made his whole body very tired.
A brand new world, maybe it's not bad...
Chen Qi lay down and covered himself with a blanket. Fatigue made him temporarily forget the messy information in his mind.
Finally, he watched the little crow sit down at the desk and slowly close his eyes.
His breathing gradually became steady, and the noise of the pirates and the sound of the waves seemed to still echo in his ears.
There was obviously still a lot of work to be done, but the little crow didn't start writing for a long time.
Chen Qi's last question was like a sharp sword, disturbing her thoughts and making her restless.
She laughed at herself in her heart, she was just a mediocre ship doctor on a pirate ship, a loser who couldn't get into medical school.
Not to mention him, could she really live more than half a year?
The little crow listened to the sound of the waves and lay on the desk.
On the waves of this sea, how many people can control their own destiny?
In her worries, she slowly closed her tired eyes and fell asleep.
Amid the gentle sound of the waves, the two slept soundly, very sweetly…
Until a new day, the sunlight of day once again shone on the deck of the Sawshark.
Amid the sound of waves hitting the ship, Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and heard the voices of pirates.
The footsteps on the deck became louder and louder, and the pirates' voices became more and more excited.
The crack has arrived...
