"Thirty grams of dark bat feces, five grams of bloodthirsty fly intestines, and one hairy worm heart..."
In a dimly lit room, a middle-aged man with messy hair kept throwing things into the cauldron, looking strange.
He is very tall, very thin, as thin as a skeleton, his eyes are sunken into the sockets, plus there are thick dark circles under his eyes, and wrinkles that can trap mosquitoes... In short, this is a man with a very poor appearance.
.
Behind him, Luo Yan stood quietly. Every time the man read a piece of material, he handed it over in time.
Strange-shaped materials were continuously put into the cauldron. The gray-green potion was boiling, with many hot bubbles popping out. Green skull smoke loomed over the potion.
This must be a necessary medicine for making money and killing people.
Luo Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"The eyeball of an adult male human..."
The alchemist whispered, but received no response.
"One eyeball."
He raised his voice.
Luo Yan was stunned.
"Teacher, I don't think I mentioned this before."
The alchemist stopped moving his hands, and his whole body froze in place like a puppet.
He slowly turned around, staring at Luo Yan with his bloodshot eyes, his lips slightly parted.
The candles flickered on and off, making the atmosphere in the small room suddenly become mysterious.
"The eyeball of an adult male..."
The alchemist murmured and suddenly asked: "My dear disciple, are you... an adult?"
Luo Yan calmly pushed up his glasses.
"No, it's still a few days away."
The alchemist looked disappointed.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and touched his eyes.
"I'm an adult now..."
He whispered, his voice hoarse, like an old crow that lives beside the grave all year round.
The alchemist's fingers slowly bent into a hook shape, and he was about to insert it.
"Teacher, don't worry. Although I didn't prepare it specially, we have it in our store. As a well-known pharmacy, there are a few adult male eyeballs. Isn't this normal?"
At this time, Luo Yan gave a kind reminder.
The alchemist paused for a moment, then continued to smile, with the folds on his face stretched out like an old chrysanthemum blooming in the wind.
"Yeah, it's a normal thing."
Is it normal?
Anyway, Luo Yan thinks it's quite normal. After all, in this world, nothing abnormal is abnormal.
Even he himself was a little abnormal.
Three years, three whole years, do you know how he came here in the past three years?!
Luo Yan never dreamed that a game player could be caught and transported to such a terrifying and dark place.
He never imagined that other time travelers would either have a portable grandpa or a system cheat, and even if they didn't have the first two, they would at least have artifact fragments to defend themselves... But he had nothing!
Say nothing!
In this place where monsters are everywhere and evil spirits are not as good as dogs, Luo Yan can survive for three full years, feeling that it is all due to his own wisdom... and this not-so-smart teacher.
Half an hour later, the alchemist took a bottle of dark green potion and walked out of the small room with a satisfied look on his face.
He spoke hoarsely:
"My dear disciple, I am going on a long journey to find a precious material for refining medicine. During this period, I will leave the store to you. You must maintain the business well and must not destroy the sign of our Sacred Medicine Pharmacy.
.”
Luo Yan was a little surprised.
"Teacher is going out? How long will you be out for?"
"Well, it can take as little as three or two days, or as much as a week... Don't worry, I will be back soon."
The alchemist coughed twice, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.
"You have been studying with me for three years. These three years of experience have made you a qualified...slaughterer. In fact, there is not much difference between slaughtering and surgery. As long as you hold the knife steadily and accurately enough, you will not
When something goes wrong, a good slaughterer is often also a good doctor."
Luo Yan's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
Doctor! Doctor!
The alchemist said seriously: "I never lie! Unless it is necessary. However, my dear disciple, it is better for you to have fewer surgeries. After all..."
He looked up at the dilapidated shop and found that there were many spider webs at the door, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
"After all, the sign of our Sacred Medicine Pharmacy has been almost smashed..."
As they said this, the two of them felt sad and sighed at the same time.
Luo Yan suddenly thought of a serious question.
"Teacher, don't you leave something for your disciple to defend yourself when you go out?"
The alchemist woke up and said:
"Oh...here, I almost forgot, there is a precious bottle of potion I left under the counter, the effect is very scary."
Luo Yan's eyes immediately flashed with little stars.
"What terrible effect is that?"
The alchemist smiled darkly.
"That is the most vicious and terrifying smelly potion in the dark world. Once you are contaminated with it, you will never be able to get rid of the crazy smell for the rest of your life. Then, the teacher can use that smell to track down the murderer and help the obedient disciple."
Son, you have taken revenge."
He raised the corners of his mouth in an extremely evil manner, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
"However, my disciple, you must remember to break the potion before you die. The entire town will be contaminated by the stench, and no one will be spared!"
Luo Yan: "..."
Putting aside, the lethality of this thing is almost zero. Dear teacher, if I throw the potion before my death and make the whole town smell bad, how can you determine who is the murderer?
By drawing lots?
What a vicious potion...
The alchemist finally left without looking back, completely unaware of the tears in Luo Yan's eyes.
So heartless.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Isn't it just a dark world? I've lived for three years and I haven't seen any big storms or waves!"
Luo Yan quietly cheered himself up.
"Anyway, there are almost no customers in this shop. As long as I have a little better luck, it's normal for not a single customer to come in for three to five days."
He thought and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dark world, guests may not be so friendly, and they may not be your God.
Luo Yan was sitting behind the counter. Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard the old doorbell ringing with a harsh sound.
"Is there a doctor? I'm... so hungry... so hungry..."
A feeble voice sounded outside the door. It was hoarse and unpleasant, carrying deep resentment and malice. It penetrated into Luo Yan's ears like a poisonous snake, making people's hair stand on end.
"Ding! Trigger a new mission: Treat the first patient. Mission reward: 200 copper coins, 50 experience, and 1 reputation."
At the same time as the terrifying sound outside the door, another voice also appeared in Luo Yan's mind.
This is... a system?!
Luo Yan raised his head suddenly.
After three years, countless days and nights, Luo Yan, who had been tortured, finally awakened the system at this moment!
