Chapter 89 Recruiting a Junior Pharmacist
Chapter 89 Recruiting a Junior Pharmacist
After Zhou Nan returned to his secret camp, the legendary wolf Wolfman was digested in no time. He had been worried that the guy would tear open his own belly to save himself, but it seems that he was not strong enough.
"Ding! The [Conquest] effect has been triggered. You have obtained the five-star green card [Legendary Wolf Wolfman]."
"Ding! You have killed the legendary wolf Wolfman and completed the hidden quest (completion 25%). You can now read the 'Legend of the Wolf'. Submit the 'Legend of the Wolf' to the Silver City Apothecary Association and you will receive a generous reward."
Two system notifications sounded, and at the same time, a green card fell out of thin air next to Zhou Nan, much to his delight.
"Are conquest skills really that amazing?"
He deactivated his transformation and immediately picked up the green card beside him.

"This card is interesting. It recruits an NPC?"
Zhou Nan thought to himself that he had just picked up the red cloak that the legendary wolf Wolfman had worn before. Upon checking its attributes, it was indeed the [Suppression Cloak].
Upon using the [Suppression Cloak], with a bang, [Legendary Wolf Wolfman] transformed into a tall werewolf. He donned the Suppression Cloak and then transformed into the little girl [Retred Redding Howd Bracer] carrying a small basket.
"At your service, my master!"
The little girl said sweetly, with five small green stars on her head.
Zhou Nan interacted with her for a while and found that the little girl had good intelligence. Simple communication was not a problem for her. She could even do arithmetic problems. Zhou Nan gave her a few four-digit multiplication and division problems at random, and she could give the answers right away.
With this hired NPC, Zhou Nan will no longer need to buy [Amber Potion], [Toughness Potion], and [Lightning Potion]; he can have her make them directly.
Of course, you need to provide the materials to make it.
Zhou Nan searched the trading post for the materials needed to make these three potions and found that there were plenty of them at very low prices. He estimated that the cost of making one bottle of [Amber Potion] or [Toughness Potion] was about four gold coins, while the cost of making [Lightning Potion] was slightly higher, but still no more than ten gold coins.
"This is a huge profit!"
Zhou Nan said to the little girl, "Your name is too long. From now on, I'll call you Xiao Wan. We can't provide you with a proper place to live for now. How about you enjoy the scenery next to the ancient mermaid statue?"
"Yes, my master!"
NPCs are obedient, and the little girl immediately went to the ancient mermaid statue as instructed.
Zhou Nan began to ponder this as well.
The reason I was able to win over this apothecary was because her true identity was a wild monster. Wild monster NPCs are rare, and those who can disguise themselves as NPCs are even rarer. It's even possible that this legendary wolf is the only one of its kind.
"It would be great if we could conquer more wild monster NPCs, but such things are probably rare and hard to come by."
Zhou Nan shook his head and then flipped through the book "The Legend of the Wolf".
This edition of "The Legend of the Wolf" has also changed, with the word "Truth" appearing on the cover. The text inside is short, like a dark fairy tale, telling the story of the legendary wolf Wolfman and the apothecary Rhett Redding Howdard.
According to the account, the legendary wolf was not actually a wolf. It was a vegetarian, and its favorite food was mushrooms. As a result, it was ostracized by the carnivorous wolves in its pack and was driven out of the pack. Later, it came to the forest outside Silver City and searched for mushrooms to eat. Gradually, it became known as the legendary wolf that monopolized mushrooms.
Meanwhile, Rhett Redding Howdre, a kind-hearted apothecary apprentice, went into the woods to consult with the legendary wolf Wolfman in order to make her beloved mushroom soup and asked for some mushrooms.
From then on, the man and the wolf became friends.
Unfortunately, a pack of gray wolves appeared later. They were very cruel and wanted to kill Wolfman and take over the forest. The little pharmacist was brutally killed by the gray wolves while trying to save Wolfman.
Wolfman was heartbroken and his ferocity erupted. He devoured the little apothecary's corpse, donned her cloak, and transformed into her. He stayed in the forest, making potions for the young card warriors. The little apothecary's soul remained with him, inseparable, which turned him into a werewolf. Only by wearing the little apothecary's cloak could he avoid being devoured by his wildness.
Zhou Nan wasn't interested in this dark fairy tale, but he could use it to make some inferences about the original quest process of "The Legend of the Wolf". However, he had obviously ruined the quest, and he didn't know what the original reward was. All Zhou Nan could do now was to send this truth version of "The Legend of the Wolf" to the Apothecary Association in Silver City and collect a reward.
Next, Zhou Nan bought a batch of super cheap, low-quality one-star white cards at the trading house, filling his own storage backpack and his dog Dodge's storage backpack to the brim, and then returned to Silver City via the teleportation array.
He found the Pharmacist Association and handed over "The Legend of the Wolf: The Truth". In addition to receiving 100 gold coins and a game points card worth 100, he also surprisingly obtained the crafting recipe for a one-star white card [Item: Healing Bottle].
"Seriously? You're giving me a card crafting recipe? Isn't that ridiculously cheap?"
Zhou Nan was quite pleased, since he already had a personal card maker, and getting this formula wouldn't be a waste.
In addition, Zhou Nan was very concerned about the prefix name of this [Item - Healing Bottle]. If it was used for synthesis, the synthesis of two cards would definitely produce an item card. If it was used to synthesize with other cards, it might be possible to create another item. He was afraid that he could develop another set of "item cards" similar to "eating cards".
