Chapter 080 Is this really the level of an apprenticeship after just a few months?
Irubek introduced Ryan again: "Karl, this is the new apprentice in the laboratory, Ryan."
At this time, Carl stood up, wiped the oil stains on his hands on his clothes, stretched out his hand like a little adult, and introduced himself: "My name is Carl... Carl Fuentes, nice to meet you."
Ryan shook his hand, "My name is Ryan... Ryan Hermes."
After a pause, he did not hesitate to praise: "You are amazing. You are already a senior mechanic at such a young age."
Karl felt a little embarrassed by the praise, touched the back of his head, and said modestly: "Actually, I'm not that great. Compared to grandpa, I'm still far behind."
When Ryan heard this, he grasped another key point.
This little Carl has a very powerful grandfather?
But it's normal when you think about it. Birds of a feather flock together. It's definitely not easy to become old friends with a big shot like Irubek.
There are many hidden talents in this glorious city, and one of them might be a "lurking" big boss.
The grandfather who could teach such a little genius mechanic must be a famous figure among mechanics.
Thinking of this, he had already decided in his heart that he would have a good relationship with this little Karl in the future...
Maybe it’s another “golden thigh”.
…
This was not the time to chat, after all, it was Ryan's first day as an apprentice in the laboratory.
He humbly asked Irubek: "Teacher, what can I do now?"
"Since you want to be my apprentice, I have to understand your academic level first. Um..."
Irubek originally planned to ask some key points of medical knowledge, but when he thought about yesterday's test, he probably didn't have much to ask about theoretical knowledge.
This kid can memorize the entire encyclopedia, so he is more than qualified to be a doctor's apprentice.
But a good theoretical level does not mean strong practical ability.
After thinking about it, the old man asked: "How far have you learned in basic medical courses? How far have you learned in basic anatomy? What level are you in pharmacy? What level are you in pharmacology and pathology..."
When Ryan heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
This question is just like when someone asks you what grade you are in school.
But what grade is he in as an apprentice who changed his career halfway?
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Uh... a little bit of anatomy, a little bit of potions, and a little bit of magic... As for the several sessions you mentioned, I'm not sure what level I am at now."
"What do you mean by learned a little... Oh! I almost forgot, you didn't come from the academy."
Irubek pursed his lips, obviously feeling a little troubled by this unconventional apprentice.
He then asked, "Do you have any experience in performing actual operations to save lives? Do you have any experience in successfully refining medicine?"
"have……"
Ryan thought about it and nodded weakly.
He had some practical experience in rescuing Ymir in the wilderness and saving the wounded members of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment" in the forest.
And the medicine...
Although he had only refined one kind, which was the antidote for blood nematodes, he could be considered to have successfully refined a finished medicine.
Irubek knew that asking this would lead to no results, so he pointed to the dissection table and said, "There's a 'black-toothed bullfrog' on the dissection table over there. Go peel off the skin on its head, remove its kidneys and liver, and then sew it up and let me see."
"oh……"
Ryan nodded.
These were all routine surgical assessment items and he didn't find them difficult.
After Irubek finished speaking, he ignored his words and continued to work on his experiment. Meanwhile, little Carl beside him was concentrating on repairing the instrument.
Everyone is busy.
…
Ryan walked over to the dissection table and his eyes fell on the body in front of him.
The "Black-toothed Bullfrog" is a common large sewer frog, about one meter long, and a low-level magical beast with a mild temperament .
Not all medical apprentices were like Ryan, who could dissect human . Dissecting small animals was a common way to practice. Irubek probably thought that Ryan was more familiar with dissecting small animals.
"call……"
Ryan let out a breath.
The moment I picked up the scalpel, my nervousness about being assessed by a top medical figure suddenly calmed down.
Pliers, sharp knives, scalpels...
Start with the epidermis of the lower abdomen, make an incision, and cut open...
Separate the organs, take them out, suture them...
It was done in one go, without any awkwardness or mistakes.
…
"Teacher, I've got it done."
When Irubek heard Ryan's report, he looked at the clock beside him and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Time is also one of the criteria for assessing medical apprentices.
The whole process takes no more than half an hour, and as long as the completion is not too bad, this is a level that only a very skilled apprentice can achieve.
Irubek walked over and looked at the giant frog corpse on the dissection table. The sutures were neat, the organs were intact, and the blood vessels in the exposed area of the head were not cut...
With his experience, he could naturally tell at a glance what an apprentice's basic skills were.
"Well, not bad. Your surgical foundation is pretty good..."
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
With this level of skill at this age, he is qualified to be his apprentice.
However, the level is just barely acceptable.
There were former senior apprentices at the Royal Medical College. Although there were few with this level, some could be found.
The old man didn't say much, and pointed to the medicine preparation room next to him, saying, "There's a medicine room over there, go and prepare a medicine that you are best at. Let me see it when you're done."
"Yes...teacher."
Ryan wanted to explain the fact that he only knew how to make one kind of potion, but Irubek didn't seem to want to hear anything more from him and turned around and ignored him.
He had no choice but to go to the operating room and tinker with it.
…
Another half hour later.
"Teacher, I have prepared the potion."
Irubek looked at the potion in Ryan's hand, sniffed it slightly, and said in surprise: "Huh... you actually made a compound primary potion?"
This was an entry-level potion that only formal pharmacists had a high success rate with. It contained at least sixteen ingredients, and the refining technique and complexity were already very difficult for a pharmacy apprentice.
Few apprentices would use it to practice.
He also didn't expect that Ryan would choose this to try his hand?
There was no need to ask what this potion was for. Just by looking at the purity of the potion, Irubek knew that the potion was very well made. Inferring the configuration process, this apprentice named Ryan definitely did not make any big mistakes.
Oh...it seems that this apprentice's skills in pharmacy are excellent!
This is a good thing as it saves a lot of teaching effort and allows me to directly become a laboratory apprentice.
Irubek didn't praise him too much , he just said calmly: "Well... not bad. The purity and completion of the potion are both good."
"Well……"
Ryan thought, how could it be any different? After all, this was a complete replica of the skills of the two-star potion master Pisis.
At this time, he wanted to explain his actual level, but unexpectedly, Irubek said directly: "You have a good foundation in pharmacy. I just need to refine some basic potions. See that piece of [White Rhino Horn Crystal] over there? Help me cut it and refine it."
And now, before I could even explain, the truth was revealed.
Ryan felt overwhelmed and could only admit weakly: "Teacher, I don't know..."
Irubek was stunned: "???"
Ryan gritted his teeth and explained: "I mean, I have never refined the [White Rhino's Horn Crystal]."
Irubek was confused and asked in surprise, "You can even successfully refine a finished potion with 16 ingredients, but you say you can't refine a basic ingredient?"
Ryan said truthfully: "Teacher, I actually only know one kind of potion, which is the one just now... I have hardly learned any other extraction methods."
"???"
After hearing this, Irubek was completely confused.
Is there such a way to learn pharmacy? Without any basics, you can directly specialize in a finished pharmaceutical product?
You’re taking people flying before you even learn to walk?
Irubek looked very unfriendly and asked, "How long have you been studying pharmacy?"
Ryan: "A... maybe a few months."
In fact, he had only been a doctor's apprentice for a month. He didn't want to be treated as a monster, so he blurred the time.
"you……"
When Irubek heard this, his anger suddenly turned into shock, and he asked back, "You mean, after only a few months of learning... you can make a finished compound potion?!"
"Um."
Ryan had no exact idea of how long it would take a professional student to learn basic pharmacy, so he just converted it into intelligent computer time.
But looking at the old man’s expression, it seems... that I have given too little time?
Oh, I forgot! There is also the "intelligent brain" holographic simulation error correction, which should take several times longer for a normal person!
Irubek: "What about anatomy? How long have you studied it?"
Ryan: “That’s about the same…”
“…”
When Irubek heard this, he lost all his composure.
This is the level of an apprenticeship of just a few months?
He thought Ryan had studied for at least several years.
On second thought, if he was not lying, this apprentice's talent was definitely that of a medical genius! Did he seem to have accidentally picked up a rough gem?
But in a flash, the old man's surprise suddenly turned into anger.
Irubek said angrily: "What a bastard teacher, he is simply misleading students!!!"
A student with such great talent actually doesn't build a solid foundation, but instead takes some unorthodox way to "reach success overnight"?
The old man was furious as if he had insulted the great discipline of medicine. He shouted, "Is your former teacher an idiot? He didn't even teach you how to extract the basic materials, but directly let you start refining finished products? What a crooked way!"
“…”
Ryan didn't dare to explain.
Anyway, it was the dead "Pysis" who was being scolded.
He didn't dare to say anything more. He had only been studying medicine for a month, and most of the knowledge was learned by himself... It had little to do with the teacher's teachings.
In the laboratory, Irubek roared angrily: "Go read the books over there yourself, and ask me if you don't understand! Forget your damn wild ways, and start learning basic medicine from the beginning with me now!"
"oh……"
At this moment, Ryan was extremely humble.
