Chapter 9 Financing Failure and Amazing Talent

The owner of the workshop showed Truman the process of refining medicine, which was not complicated.

Especially for the promotion potions of the first level of the extraordinary, pharmacists who have not yet become extraordinary can also try to refine them, as long as they have the formula, basic materials, and spiritual inscriptions.

Of course, you also need to consume ‘shares’. Whether you are making magic potions or swallowing magic potions, you need to consume ‘shares’.

This is not a problem for Truman. He has the backing of the earth and can quickly restore his share.

So as long as Lilith lends him money, Truman is confident that he will be promoted to the first level of extraordinary in a short time.

"I lend you 25 gold pounds, and you give me a formula plus a promotion potion... It seems to be a profit, but that formula may not be suitable for me. I may drink it because of its temptation.

The potion is very dangerous."

"In addition, I have to bear the risk of your potion failing. I think the probability of an apprentice successfully making a potion is very low, especially for the first time."

Lilith said very calmly, "Once the medicine fails, all my investment will be lost."

"How could it be? I will always pay back the 25 gold pounds." Truman assured him, patting his chest.

"You now have at least 15 to 20 gold pounds in savings, which is your savings from two months of work. It seems that you have the ability to repay, but..."

Lilith made a twist: "If you make money, you will definitely not repay the debt you owe me immediately. Instead, you will try to make a potion again. Even if you succeed that time, you will still have to pay back the money you owe me."

It will have to wait until four months later.”

Lilith shook her head as she said, "I don't think our current friendship can support a huge debt of more than four months."

Truman was speechless.

"Work hard and make money, young people, don't daydream." Lilith patted Truman on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Watching Lilith leave, Truman really felt like his daydream was shattered.

At present, Truman's only way to make money is to translate spiritual texts.

The income from translating spiritual texts is already a high salary in this city.

You must know that coal miners, textile workers or butcher apprentices work 12 hours a day and can only earn about 2 silver orders, which is barely enough to support a family.

When Truman first traveled through time, he went through a lot of trouble and went through a lot of hardships to find this job.

So, work hard.

After all, in the foreseeable future, sooner or later Truman will be able to earn enough gold pounds to be promoted to extraordinary.

Today Truman added another 12 silver orders to his money saving plan.

He completed the translation work of 3 words.

The amount of his deposit exceeded 18 gold pounds.

When I got off work today, the temperature was still cold, but Truman's chest was full of enthusiasm and expectation for the future.

He tightened his collar and quickened his pace, but suddenly he heard faster footsteps behind him.

Truman turned around in surprise and saw a man whose face could not be seen clearly in a hat, speeding up and rushing towards him. Suddenly, a huge sense of crisis surged into his heart.

Robber? Thief?

This is not the first time Truman has encountered a criminal.

In fact, in this city full of poverty and hunger, a large number of criminals are born under the night. They are called jackals or hyenas, the difference lies in whether they are alone or in groups.

Truman was not unprepared. He turned around and opened his coat to reveal the pistol. This was a self-defense weapon he bought for 5 gold pounds. It was expensive, but it was necessary.

Pistols of this era require manual filling of gunpowder and steel balls, but Truman's is a high-end product that can fire two bullets because it has two barrels.

If Truman were asked to choose again, he would definitely not choose this high-end product because he likes guns. After all, one that can only fire one bullet only costs 3 gold pounds.

Seeing the gun in Truman's hand, the suspected criminal man immediately stopped and raised his hands, slowly retreating into the shadows on both sides of the street.

This episode did not affect Truman's mood, although few criminals would be interested in people who walked out of the workshop because it was too dangerous.

But if hungry to the extreme, the jackal will go crazy.

…

The next day, Truman, who was working hard, encountered a small 'problem'.

"A 'continuous word' with only 4 characters?"

Truman looked at Anton who was handing out work and felt targeted.

"Indeed, the work of single words has already shined, and only 'continuous words' are left. Do you want it?" Anton shrugged.

Although the owner of the workshop let Truman lead the team alone, Anton was still responsible for the work assignment of all apprentices. In other words, even if Truman's position was promoted by half a level, Anton would still make things difficult for him.

"Of course, after all, I am saving money to buy the formula from the teacher." Truman said.

Anton knew about this, and Truman told it just to piss this guy off.

"First pray that you don't go crazy at work." Anton's malice almost overflowed from his words.

"Anton, I think there is no conflict between us. My promotion to Extraordinary will not affect your future. Why target me?" Truman chose to spread the matter out.

"You untouchables don't deserve to be extraordinary!" Anton whispered.

"Hey, this is an ugly thing to say. I am a pariah? Do you have a throne to inherit?" Truman felt baffled.

You asked Chen Xing to interfere with my work. I didn't even have time to take revenge. Why did you get involved?

…

A 4-letter continuous word.

Truman held this four palm-sized pottery fragments.

He used a small brush to brush off the dust on the debris and started his work today.

This piece of pottery is straight and seems to be fragments removed from a huge screen-like object. The writings are arranged in order from top to bottom.

A 4-character ‘continuous word’ is equivalent to a 5-character individual spiritual text.

The 'share' required to complete this job has exceeded Truman's highest record in the previous three months, reaching the level he had previously boasted to the workshop owner.

But Truman still felt he could finish it.

It is not done by relying on knowledge from the other side of the earth after repeated attempts and failures.

But Truman’s ‘share’ seems to be enough to complete such a difficult challenge.

He feels that his 'share' is growing.

It seems to have started when I started taking that energy-boosting potion.

It invigorates the spirit, enhances the sensitivity of thinking, increases the 'share', and what is increased is not the temporary value of the 'share', but the maximum value, which is the maximum recoverable amount.

The enhancement and influence of biotechnology on the earth's side on the body seem to be 'solidified' under the influence of time travel?

Before 8 o'clock tonight, Truman successfully completed this 4-character "continuous word".

When the white light of the 'spiritual tide' swept across the entire workspace, it also reflected the jealousy and shock on Anton's face.

…

"Your talent is amazing." Even Lilith was lamenting Truman's talent.

In the eyes of these workshop apprentices, ‘share’ is undoubtedly a natural talent that cannot be increased.

Generally, an apprentice's work performance in a potion workshop reaches the peak first, and then turns into slag like burned coal.

Someone like Truman, who has continuously increased his "share" and achieved higher work performance in a short period of time, can only be described as amazingly talented.

"You're welcome." Truman felt that if Earth's biotechnology could have a permanent effect on him, then this result would still be conservative.

"Is Anton's talent poor? He is a formal student of the master of the workshop, and his family is rich. If he had talent, he would have used magic potions to be promoted to extraordinary, right?" Truman suddenly remembered this.

"He drank the magic potion," Lilith said.

Huh? Truman looked at Lilith in surprise.
