Chapter 475: After the hard work and the task, the road encounters thieves hungry
??Ma Nan looked at the two piles of powder in front of him with dark eyes. When he took the task, he only said that he would come to the pharmacy shop to help, but he didn't say that he had to use his mental power to pick the impurities in the powder. He originally asked to come to the pharmacy shop to help, but he not only earned money but also learned relevant pharmacy knowledge in advance, but he did not know that this was the task.
What should I do now? Separate metal impurities from plant powder with mental power. I have not taught it in the book. Should I give up the first task?
Manan looked at the old woman opposite the room with guilt, who was concentrating on throwing the ingredients into the cooked pot, and did not notice the situation on his side.
"Since she said that the magic apprentice is OK, I will give it a bold try. At worst, I will lose my face and admit that I failed in shame!" Manan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He made up his mind and took a few deep breaths. He began to adjust his breathing and thoughts according to the meditation method taught by the professors of the college, and soon entered the state of emptiness and darkness. The elements in the room gradually became clear in his mental power, including lively red fire elements, quiet blue water elements, thick yellow earth elements, and light green wind elements. Because it was not a thunderstorm day, there were no violent white electric elements. In addition to the four basic elements of fire, water, earth and wind, Manan also observed some magic elements that he did not recognize on the table.
The medicine powder is not visible at the elemental level. Manan narrowed the observed multiple a little. At this time, the mental power saw that it was no longer various basic magic elements, but became a molecular state where the magic elements aggregated together. Then he "sees" the medicine powder powder that he saw with his naked eyes before and the metal impurities inside.
It is much more difficult to use mental power to move multiple material molecules that are larger than magical elements. Fortunately, with Manan's current mental power level, he can barely do it. However, because he has been working almost for the limit, and after working for a while, he felt a little exhausted and his mind was swollen. Looking at the two piles of medicine powder, the work was completed a little bit.
"If you can't hold on, give up. But don't think about getting my mission reward." The old woman's voice came coldly from the other end of the pharmacy.
Man Nan, who originally wanted to give up, became stubborn and didn't say anything. After resting for a while, he continued to meditate and work.
"What a stubborn boy!" The old woman said in a sarcasm, and then buried herself in her own medicine manufacturing work and ignored the situation here.
Then he used his mental power to look for smaller metal particles to move from the tiny powder particles. Manan only felt a pain in his brain and a nausea in his chest. He knew that this was a symptom of his mental overdrawn.
He knew he would better stop working now and sleep well and rest, but his stubborn temper would not allow him to do so.
"In order not to be looked down upon, I have fought for her!" He gritted his teeth and continued to work. He threw away all the discomforts in his head. Gradually, all the physical and mental fatigue was forgotten. Who was he doing, what he was doing, and why he did it. Unconsciously, he entered a state of complete ethereality.
I don't know how long it took, but when he woke up from the ethereal state of this kind of thing, he was surprised to find that the two piles of medicine powder in front of him had been completely separated. The old woman stood in front of him and saw him awake, with a surprised look in her eyes, but it flashed away and she returned to her usual turbidity and unconsciousness.
"Yes, I suspected you couldn't finish it. Take your mercenary badge and I'll give you the sign of completing the mission. After that, you can go to the Mercenary Guild to get the reward I placed there, twenty silver coins. The money is not much, but it's good for a junior magic apprentice like you. In addition, if you are satisfied with the work pay, you can continue to come and help tomorrow. The same reward." After the old woman said that, she threw down a small bag containing silver coins and went back to her workbench to work.
Manan was walking back to the college, physically and mentally exhausted, but in a very happy mood. This was the first time he had earned such a huge sum of money at one time, with twenty silver coins, which was worth all the money he had earned from working in Kaki Town. From time to time, he touched his hand to the wallet stuffed around his waist and accelerated his pace toward the city. Now he just wants to go back to the college dormitory and have a good sleep.
A man suddenly ran out of the slant and bumped into him regardless of slightness or severeness.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." The man hurriedly apologized before Manan got angry and ran away quickly. The man was wearing a hooded clothes and wrapped his body tightly, but the sound was the voice of a young girl.
"Even if there is an urgent matter, you shouldn't be so reckless." Ma Nan muttered in a low voice, touching the ground that was hit by the pain on his body, and wanted to continue rushing. He subconsciously touched his waist and said that it was broken, and the purse that should have been bulging was gone!
He hurriedly searched all over his body, and even searched the nearby ground carefully. How could he have the shadow of the wallet?
Only then did he realize that the young woman who hit the person just now must be the legendary thief. The money he earned from a hard day made wedding dresses for others. Manan wanted to chase him, but he was not familiar with the place and didn't know which direction to chase him. In the end, he had to dejectedly admit that he was unlucky and returned to the college.
Thank you for a day, but the water has not flowed in. He originally wanted to go to the college cafeteria to have a free dinner. As a result, because he had been looking for the female thief before, he wasted time. After the canteen dinner time, the canteen closed. He couldn't eat anything.
When Anderson and the other two came back from evening study, they found that Ma Nan, who had always been diligent, was lying in vain on the sofa in the living room, erecting the body because he was open with his eyes wide open and did not sleep.
"What's wrong, buddy? Your decadent look is really rare. Why? Is it not going well for a job search today? Then you don't have to be so decadent, right?" Anderson said first.
"That's right, I can't find it today and look tomorrow. Is it necessary to look discouraged? Manan, your psychological quality is too poor, right?" Lucas also continued.
Mu didn't speak, but his eyes also showed a puzzled look.
"It's so decadent, I'm hungry! I've worked hard for a day and haven't had a grain of rice in it. I'll try it?" Manan fought back angrily.
"Then why are you lying here to hold a corpse without eating?" Anderson cursed with a smile.
"I'm late and the cafeteria is closed." Manan said weakly.
"The cafeteria is closed, you can also go to the snack bar at the entrance of the college to buy something?" Lucas asked.
"Buy it! All my money is used to pay the mercenary registration fee. I finally took a job, worked hard for a day, earned twenty silver coins, but on the way back, I met a female thief and left. So I had to come back hungry and lift the body up." Manan explained weakly.
"Wow, man, you are so miserable. But who made you feel unscrupulous? The thieves in this city are very arrogant, and the same is true in my hometown of Marcas City." Anderson smiled.
"How could I know that your city is so messy? When I was in the small town in Rocky Mountains, there was no thieves in the industry." Manan said hatefully.
"Okay, Anderson, don't make fun of Manan. Let's find a way to get him some food. But now it's so late, probably the snack bars at the entrance of the college are closed." Lucas said in embarrassment.
"You can't even go out even if the snack bar is not closed. Now, the gate of the college has been closed long ago." Anderson reminded from the side.
"What should I do?" Lucas spread his hands.
"No, I still have some snacks here, so I'll take them to eat first." Mu, who had not spoken, walked out with a handful of exquisite candies and other snacks, threw them in front of Man Nan and said.
"Hey, Mu, you actually have so many snacks, just like those girls? Strange, you eat so many high-calorie retailers, why don't you get fat?" Anderson shouted in surprise as if he had discovered the New World.
"You have to care!" Mu gave him a blank look, turned back to his room, and closed the door heavily.
"Sometimes I really think Mu is a girl." Anderson touched his nose and said.
"That's it." Lucas continued, "Did you think it's, Manan?" he asked Manan again.
But Manan didn't even bother to answer him, and stuffed snacks into his mouth.
