“New job? What new job?”
Hei Niu was puzzled. She also valued the clever and powerful kitten.
“I’m going to work in the herb store to learn how to recognize and refine medicine. Maybe I can become an Alchemist in the future,” Qin Yue said with some confidence.
It was easy to recognize medicine, but refining medicine was more difficult. It required a very high comprehension ability.
Her comprehension ability was very ordinary from the beginning to the end. She could not be considered very outstanding, so she was a little worried.
“Don’t worry. I’ll teach you when the time comes. I’ve come into contact with refining medicine when I was young. I have a little foundation,” Song Xiaomei comforted gently.
“Okay. Thank you, Xiaomei,” Qin Yue said gratefully.
“There’s no need to be polite with me. Sister Hei Niu, are you going to the medicinal herb store? It’s actually very good to recognize medicine when refining medicine. If you really become an Alchemist, you can also be respected.”
Song Xiaomei thought of the captured Alchemist. The reason why the other party could hide for so long was because of his identity as an Alchemist.
With this identity, ordinary people really would not dare to investigate him. This caused the Alchemist to create so many puppets and hurt many people.
If they also became Alchemists, they could completely apply for strong protection. In the future, they would not have to worry about being attacked when they left the city.
Therefore, after the kitten made this request, Song Xiaomei was the first to agree and nodded without hesitation.
“I won’t go. Due to this puppet incident, the Law Enforcement Team valued my detection ability and gave me a trainee medal...”
“If I pass the test, I can join the Law Enforcement Team.” Hei Niu raised her right hand and took out a small medal.
This medal was very similar to the one worn by the Law Enforcement Team, only slightly smaller. It was a trainee medal.
“Not bad, Sister Hei Niu. You’ve actually become a civil servant. In the future, if we encounter any problems, you have to help us more,” Song Xiaomei hurriedly said.
“No problem. When the time comes, give me a call. It’s the same for Yueyue. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Hei Niu said with certainty. Her words were very sincere, obviously from the bottom of her heart.
“Then thank you, Sister Hei Niu.” Qin Yue smiled sweetly and felt warm in her heart.
The three of them continued chatting for a while before Hei Niu left. Song Xiaomei and Qin Yue took the kitten out of the house and headed towards the medicinal herbs shop that they had found in advance.
However, when they passed by the entrance of an alley, the kitten on Qin Yue’s shoulder suddenly turned its head and looked at the alley. Its eyes narrowed.
“What’s wrong, kitty?”Qin Yue asked softly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt.
“Nothing. Keep walking.”
Li Xuan replied. His sapphire-like cat eyes glanced at the alley again.
“Okay.”
Qin Yue listened to Li Xuan’s words and obediently continued to move forward. Although she felt that something might have happened, she still obediently followed Li Xuan’s instructions.
The two of them and the cat continued to move forward. Very soon, they left this place and walked into the distance.
After they walked far away, a?person walked out from the shadows of the alley. He was carrying a two-meter-long white snake.
This person was none other than the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Tie Hu. The white snake was his summoned beast, Lightning Snake.
“What sharp observation skills. This cat is really powerful. I hid so far away, but it still discovered me.”
Tie Hu spoke solemnly, his sharp eyes staring in the direction where Qin Yue and the rest had left.
As the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, ever since the last time they went to Song Xiaomei’s house, Tie Hu had been brooding whenever the Lightning Snake sensed the mysterious aura.
Although everyone said that they did not sense anything, based on his years of experience and keen observation skills, Tie Hu still felt that something was not right.
Therefore, he did not let go of this matter. Instead, he kept it in his heart.
This day, when he was out for a stroll, he happened to see Song Xiaomei, Qin Yue, and the cat.
The moment he saw the cat, Tie Hu decisively chose to observe in the dark.
However, he was discovered by the cat not long after he observed it. This level of observation was very surprising to him.
“Lightning Snake, did you feel any aura from the cat?” Tie Hu looked at the white snake.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~”
The white snake hissed and shook its head as it opened its mouth.
“You mean, you didn’t sense any aura from the cat?” Tie Hu frowned, suspecting whether he was really being paranoid.
Even his Summoned Beast did not sense any aura, so?Tie Hu frowned.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~”
The lightning snake hissed again, expressing something urgently.
“Wait, are you saying that you don’t feel any aura, but you’re afraid of that cat?!”
Tie Hu was stunned. He did not expect his Summoned Beast to say that.
His Summoned Beast was already at the edge of Black Iron Rank, just one step away from Bronze Rank.
As long as Tie Hu’s own strength went from Black Iron Rank to Bronze Rank, his pet would be promoted.
Such a strong pet should not be afraid of that ordinary kitten.
However, the white snake said it was afraid, which was strange.
“Let’s go and continue to observe. There must be a secret.”
After saying that, Tie Hu continued to move forward with the Lightning Snake. He fell far behind and observed carefully.
In the distance...
Qin Yue and song Xiaomei came to a medicinal herb shop. After a round of pleasantries, they finally became apprentices here.
They had to start from the most basic recognition of the medicine and work hard to learn everything. Only then could they refine the medicine and become the best.
“This is the herbal medicine illustration. You guys study hard and don’t slack off in the slightest. I will check it from time to time and grade you based on your performance.”
The owner of the store was a female Alchemist wearing a cheongsam. Regardless of whether it was her demeanor or the tone of her voice, she appeared very arrogant.
After she finished saying these words, she threw the medicinal herb illustration on the table and said indifferently.
“This time, I recruited ten people, but I’ll only keep three. You have to work hard and perform well. Whether you can stay or not depends on yourselves.”
After the Cheongsam Alchemist finished speaking, she walked away with her slender legs.
When she passed by Qin Yue, the Cheongsam Alchemist raised her slender snow-white little hand and gently stroked the little cat’s head as she said in a light tone.
“The little cat is very cute. One point added.”
“Eh?”
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment. She did not expect to get extra points just like that. She immediately said in pleasant surprise, “Thank you.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, the Cheongsam Alchemist directly returned to the medicine refining room and began to get busy.
The group of people who were left on the spot looked at Qin Yue with envy and looked at the little cat.
“What’s so great about it? Isn’t it just a little cat? I’ll bring a cat here tomorrow as well and bring something cute along the way.”
Someone spoke sourly and looked at Qin Yue enviously.
“That’s right. I have a basic knowledge of herbalism. I’ll definitely be able to stay in the end.”
“I have one too. Those who come here will definitely have a basic knowledge. This is the most basic one.”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly. They all felt that they would be able to stay.
On the contrary, Qin Yue was silent because she realized that she was the only one without any basic knowledge. This made her feel a little uncomfortable.
As a poor person, if one wanted to live well in this world, money was an indispensable thing. The key was that Alchemy was one of the most profitable professions.
Moreover, ever since they entered the shop, the kitty had been staring at a certain medicinal herb on the counter. It stared at it without moving. Clearly, it valued that medicinal herb.
However, the price of that medicinal herb was 100,000 yuan. The price was ridiculously expensive. Qin Yue could not afford it at all.
However, she wanted to buy it for the cat, so she wanted to become an Alchemist and earn a lot of money to buy the medicinal herb for the cat.
