Chapter 47 The Second Bubblegum

  It's come to this, what else can Lin Chen say? He could only laugh and say: "Hehe, Elder Mocha is overpraising me. When I was refining this calming pill, I was in a state of extraordinary inspiration."

  "How about it, young brother? Want to join our pharmacist guild? With your abilities, I believe you can become an executive, and at such a young age, as long as you spend a bit more time, I believe it won't take many years for you to become an elder, the youngest elder of the pharmacist guild. How about it? Want to join our pharmacist guild?"

  At such a young age, being a perfect-level pharmacist is enough to shock the entire continent. After all, the legendary Emperor of Medicine reached the level of perfect-level pharmacist at the age of seventeen. It seems that Lin Chen's future achievements will be extraordinary.

  "Uh...", Lin Chen reluctantly accepted Mocha Elder's invitation. He had originally wanted to pass Xia Lu off to him, so he could get rid of the sticky Xia Lu, but now it seemed like he wouldn't be able to get rid of her and would instead gain another sticky person, judging from Mocha Elder's passionate gaze.

  "Sorry, Elder Mocha, I'm not interested in pharmacology. My goal is to become a powerful swordsman!", Lin Chen hastily said, looking at Elder Mocha's scorching gaze, not just to make Elder Mocha give up, but also because he truly thought so.

  In his own world, money was king and those with it were the masters, so Lin Chen had been desperately making money. However, after crossing over to this new world, he found that strength was what truly reigned supreme, so Lin Chen's goal became power - immense power.

  Although relying on the power of medicine to attract a group of strong people to protect himself, that is still an external force, and his safety relies on others. This is not Lin Chen's personality.

  "What? Swordsman?!?", Hearing Lin Chen's words, Mocha Elder looked at Lin Chen with a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel", "Don't you know your talent in potion-making? As long as you work hard, you will definitely become an epic-level or higher potion master in the future. Such a good prospect you don't want, and instead want to be a swordsman?"

  Mocha elder carefully sized up Lin Chen and said: "At your age, reaching the standard of a probationary swordsman is not bad, but it's also not good, can only be considered ordinary".

  As he spoke, Moka Elder pointed at Xia Lu again, "You see, even this little girl has obtained the title of primary magician, and you are still just an apprentice swordsman. I advise you to give up quickly, pharmacist is your best way out".

  If it were Moka's personality, in normal times, such hurtful words would never be spoken, but Lin Chen was different. With a talent for pharmacy that made everyone envious, he didn't want to become a pharmacist, instead choosing the path of a swordsman with no great prospects. This pained Elder Moka deeply, as such a prodigy in pharmacy absolutely couldn't be wasted like this.

  "Sorry, Moka Elder, I've made up my mind...", Lin Chen hastily said as he looked at the pained expression of Moka Elder, then quickly turned around and left, secretly scolding himself in his heart. It seemed that not only had he failed to shake off Xia Lu, but now it seemed like Moka Elder was also sticking to him like a piece of sticky candy.

  "Hey, Lin Chen little brother, don't go...", seeing Lin Chen somewhat flustered and turning to leave, Mocha hastily called out, but hearing his words, Lin Chen's footsteps quickened.

  The Pharmaceutical Association, Lin Chen never wanted to join in the first place. Would he really have to spend his whole life hiding in the association and concocting medicine? Not to mention that entrusting one's safety to others wasn't Lin Chen's style, this kind of monotonous life was absolutely unsuitable for a young and active person like him.

  "What a waste of good talent! He's letting such great potential go to waste by wanting to become a swordsman... It's truly a shame..." Mocha Elder said with a sigh, gazing at Lin Chen's receding figure, while also secretly telling himself that someone like Lin Chen absolutely cannot be given up on, or else it would be a loss for the world of alchemy.

  "Right, the medicine...", after a casual conversation with Lin Chen, Moka Elder finally reacted and remembered that he still had medicine to refine. After all, today's attack was absolutely not an accidental event. So, Moka Elder must prepare for the possible battles that may occur next, thus making the medicine an urgent need in battle.

  "A perfect-level pharmacist, huh...", Xia Lu also left with Lin Chen, her eyes burning with intensity as she stared at him. This young perfect-level pharmacist made Xia Lu understand what it meant, for someone like herself who didn't even have an ordinary-level pharmacist qualification, Lin Chen was the goal of her efforts.

  "What's the point of this?" Just now, Mo Ka's elder had just withdrawn his scorching gaze, and now Xia Lu was also staring at him with a fiery gaze. Lin Chen secretly felt sorrowful, it seemed that these two pieces of cowhide tape were firmly stuck to him, especially Xia Lu, who didn't seem easy to shake off.

  It wasn't until nightfall that no one came to attack, and Moka had already refined some medicine, handing it over to the two king-level professionals, letting them distribute it. After handling the matter of the medicine, Elder Moka secretly let out a sigh of relief and walked over to Lin Chen's side to sit down.

  As Mocha Elder approached, Lin Chen was secretly helpless, but there was no way to stop him. However, Xia Lu's eyes were fixed intently on Mocha Elder, the legendary pharmacist, and it was still very exciting, especially for Xia Lu who was obsessed with pharmacy.

  Sat down, Mocha elder looked at Lin Chen, handed over a legendary defensive potion and said: "Young brother, be careful tonight, take this defensive potion with you, if there's any danger, drink it quickly, at least the safety will increase a lot".

  He took the defensive potion handed over by Mo Ka, Lin Chen carefully looked at it, "Defensive Potion (Epic): Increases magical defense by 800 points, physical defense by 1200 points, lasts for 5 minutes, cools down in 24 hours".

  "Want to increase 800 points of magic defense and 1200 points of physical defense? The function is pretty good", Lin Chen nodded secretly, looking at the epic-level defensive potion in his hand. However, this defensive potion was still far inferior to his own Iron Armor Guardian Potion, which could increase physical defense by 3800 points. After all, for potions, even if they had the same function, their efficacy varied in strength and weakness.

  "Will there be anyone else coming to attack tonight?" He handed the medicine over to Xia Lu beside him, and Lin Chen also understood what Mo Ka meant by his words, asking in a tone that was more of a confirmation.

  "I think it's unlikely that they would attack once and then retreat, I've already sent out a distress signal, and I believe the Guild's rescue team will arrive by tomorrow, so if they're going to make a move, tonight is their only chance," Mocha Elder said seriously, nodding his head.

  Mocha elder smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry about this. If it weren't for today's events pulling you in, you wouldn't be facing such danger now. At least if you hadn't helped us, you could have left by now."

  "Ding, triggered 3-star mission 'Guardian', mission requires Moka Elder's safety, reward 5800 experience points, accept/reject".
