Chapter 75: Isn't it a necessary skill for an apprentice to master advanced knowledge?
"This kid... could it be that he has awakened a supernatural attribute that enhances his memory and has the ability to remember everything he sees?"
At this moment, Irubek's face looked very strange.
He thought back to the skilled martial arts and absolute strength that Ryan had used to subdue Basel, and he felt that his idea was ridiculous.
The most important thing about the awakening direction of the genetic potion is the rationality of the attribute combination.
Strength + cell activity can be barely understood as a melee self-healing supernatural power; but if you add "memory enhancement" to it, it seems out of place.
Just like the power enhancement of long-range magic system extraordinary awakening, this is a completely useless attribute, consuming human potential out of thin air, and there is no extraordinary ability gain at all. This situation will never appear in high-quality genetic magic potions.
Or maybe…
Is it true, as this kid said, that he has been familiar with the Encyclopedia since childhood and that is why he can recite it so fluently?
No matter which possibility it is, Irubek feels that his assessment will not be difficult for him.
Could it be that... I really have to break the oath that "if I take in another apprentice, the troll will pierce my anus with a mace"?
When asked this, Irubek's face turned as black as coal.
He had never expected that his plan, which had worked so well and had resulted in him turning down countless requests to become his disciple, would actually trap himself in it.
Ryan memorized the previous nine questions word for word. It was obvious that there was no point in asking more.
But the betrayal of his most proud disciple has made him no longer think of taking on any more disciples. Otherwise, it wouldn't hurt to have one more apprentice in the laboratory...
You have to give up one of your old face and your oath.
…
Irubek's eyes turned and he asked again: "Next, the tenth question..."
This time, Ryan didn't want the old man to ask endlessly.
He decided to take the lead himself and interrupted, "Doctor, how many questions do I need to answer correctly to be considered a successful assessment?"
Irubek also felt a little embarrassed. Normally he could just refuse someone's question with no more than three questions, but this was already the tenth question.
He could only say: "This... This is the last question . As long as you can answer it, you will pass!"
When Ryan heard this, he was slightly delighted: "Okay!"
Irubek thought about it and asked, "Next, please tell me about the properties of [Dragon Blood Sun Vine]..."
"this……?"
When Ryan heard this, he was stunned.
It’s not because he can’t answer, but because this question... is beyond the scope!
There are absolutely no mistakes in the books scanned by the "intelligent brain". He is very sure that there is no record of this material in the "Encyclopedia of Basic Pharmacy"!
At this time, he looked at the old man opposite with a strange look in his eyes, thinking: This old man is too unkind... How much does he not want to be an apprentice? He doesn't even care about his reputation, and asks this question?
After all, he had played a little trick, and Irubek felt a little guilty under Ryan's gaze. He forced himself to explain, "Well... this question is a little biased. If you don't know... you can understand..."
Ryan's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively, "Doctor, why do I feel that your question is not within the scope of the Encyclopedia?"
Although the old man was deliberately making things difficult for him, he didn't think it was a bad thing.
If you really just want an experimental sample, just agree.
The more serious the matter is, the more valuable this apprentice is!
Irubek was still stubborn, "Really? Maybe I'm old and my memory is failing. Or... you missed it?"
Ryan said faintly: "Oh, I think... maybe you remembered it wrongly, Doctor. I clearly remember that there is no record of this material in the Encyclopedia."
"Ahem... maybe I remembered it wrongly."
Irubek coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and then forced himself to explain his additional question, saying: "However, as a doctor's apprentice, in addition to talent, extensive knowledge and strong memory are also necessary qualities. Anyway... Anyway, let's just answer this question! If you can answer the last question, you will pass the assessment..."
This is obviously another rogue attempt to forcibly increase the difficulty.
What the hell, a newly minted medical apprentice needs to master this kind of advanced knowledge!
Even formal potion masters may not have heard of this rare material, right?
However, Ryan, who had already made up his mind, felt that playing hard to get was enough. He said so much just to make the old man bet everything on this last question.
At this time, he didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement: "Well, I also think what you said makes sense, Doctor. As a doctor's apprentice, it should be a necessary ability to have some knowledge in the field of intermediate potion masters..."
"???"
After hearing these words, Irubek suddenly felt that he had heard wrongly, and looked at the extremely calm young man in front of him with surprise.
I deliberately made things difficult for you, and you actually agreed to such ridiculous words?
But on second thought, the old man had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that... he even knows this?
Ryan knew that the old man was not giving up, so he changed the subject and decided not to give him another chance to turn the tables: "I am not talented, but I happen to read a lot of books. Although I don't understand much, I vaguely remember that this [Dragon Blood Sun Vine] should come from a book called "Rare Magic Potion Materials" which is an advanced knowledge book for intermediate potion masters..."
Originally, the Encyclopedia tested basic pharmacy in the medical department, not genetic alchemy. Although the two have overlapping fields, they are essentially different.
The threshold for becoming a potion master is much higher than that for becoming a doctor...
Those who can become pharmacists may not necessarily become potion masters, and less than one in a thousand apprentice potions masters can be promoted to full-fledged potion masters.
It's probably like, I was taking the CET-4 exam just to get a certificate, but you gave me the CET-8 exam questions?
Ryan said before that he wanted to be a doctor's apprentice, and it was fine if he just asked about basic alchemy, but now he is even asking about the field of intermediate potion master?
This question is seriously beyond the scope of the syllabus!
Unfortunately, this question can stump a large number of formal potion masters, but it cannot stump Ryan.
Then, he recited the detailed explanation of the material again, leaving the old man opposite completely speechless.
…
They have even revealed the source of the book's title, so there's no point in quibbling.
Irubek was like a deflated ball, and instantly lost the desire to make things difficult.
"Hey, I'm getting old, look at my memory..."
He looked at Ryan with complicated eyes, and his tone didn't sound like he was going to continue to quibble, but rather he really had a feeling that heroes emerge from young people.
After coming to his senses, the old man realized that although he seemed to be in control of the assessment, he had actually fallen into the other party's calculations step by step. In the question and answer session just now, he had unknowingly been limited in the scope of content, the number of questions, and his retreat route...
The guy opposite not only has an amazing memory, but is also very cautious, which is also an essential quality for an excellent doctor.
Of course, none of this matters anymore, after all, he has passed the assessment.
If it weren't for the original oath, having a disciple with such an extraordinary memory as an apprentice would be a good choice.
pity……
That's all...
Even if I don’t agree now, it seems I have to agree.
Irubek didn't embarrass Ryan. A look of relief appeared on his old face. He said, "Starting tomorrow, you will be an apprentice in my laboratory."
"Okay... Teacher!"
Ryan listened, and was delighted, and changed his words: "My name is Ryan, please give me your guidance in the future!"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Irubek's cloudy eyes were filled with complexity.
teacher?
Why……
…
Ryan left Irubek's laboratory.
He had never expected that coming here to treat the insect infestation today would yield such a huge reward. With such a super "gold thigh" firmly in his grasp, the road ahead would instantly become smooth.
It was getting late, the light was already dimming, and Ryan was still planning to go back to the hotel to give instructions to the barbarian chick.
From the sewer area on the bottom floor of the Mechanical City to the upper floor, you have to walk through a long, quiet, narrow alley.
This is a good place to do some shady things, such as murder and robbery.
Not long after Ryan walked out of the laboratory, he stopped.
Then he shouted .
"Come out...Mr. Bazel."
