When Locke and the others walked out of the assessnt venue wearing their badges, they imdiately saw quite a crowd gathered around the assessnt location.
These people all ca from various major local wizard families, as well as high-end shops from Chira Trading Market, or people from certain special institutions.
Olive branches were extended toward Locke and Gogol one after another.
Potion master assistants could do quite a lot now, being able to independently brew many dium-difficulty potions, making them relatively mature wizards.
Gogol seed unprepared for such a scene and was sowhat stunned. When he ca to his senses, he found his hands had been stuffed with business cards from Lilith's Cottage's local families or from Chira Trading Market.
First-class wizard apprentices who could pass Lilith's Cottage's potion master assistant assessnt had completely different value.
Gogol murmured, "Thank you... thank you..."
He seed sowhat moved, not having expected that after obtaining his potion master assistant certificate, he would transform from soone nobody cared about into such a sought-after person.
Bert looked at him and Locke with so envy, feeling quite bitter inside.
So he quickened his pace and hurriedly left the place.
Locke continuously declined invitations from multiple shops and local wizard families. He had no interest in becoming an advisor to wizard families or a shop manager for various potion stores.
For ordinary first-class wizard apprentices, becoming wizard family advisors or shop managers in Chira Market was also a decent choice.
Especially for those first-class wizard apprentices without backgrounds, who needed to work for all their resources, but he had his own plantation and didn't need to work miserably for others to earn magic stones.
Moreover, in the future he might very well be able to use the Horadric Synthesis Cube to establish his own pharmaceutical workshop.
Pharmaceutical workshops established by potion masters often cooperated directly with major shops in Chira Trading Market, and those shops could distribute products produced by the potion master's pharmaceutical workshop.
Of course, like plantations, establishing a pharmaceutical workshop required substantial upfront resource investnt.
Therefore, pharmaceutical workshops weren't sothing all potion master assistants could afford to open. Only a very small number could possess their own pharmaceutical workshop at this stage.
And it might not necessarily turn a profit either.
This was also why most potion master assistants could still be employed by others.
But Locke had the Horadric Synthesis Cube and could completely establish his own pharmaceutical workshop without worrying too much about future losses.
The pharmaceutical workshop could even create upstream and downstream relationships with the plantation in the future.
This was also why Witch Sophia was both a breeder and a potion master.
Of course, talent was also the most important factor among them.
A female first-class wizard apprentice wearing white wizard robes handed Locke so docunts. "Hello, potion master assistant. This is an invitation from our Healing Hand Treatnt Center. If you can beco a pharmacist at our Healing Hand Treatnt Center, we can give you a monthly allowance of one thousand magic stones."
"You don't need to co to work every day, just need to spare fifteen days each month."
"Of course, you'll need to focus on brewing the following three potions for the next period. Our treatnt center hopes you can beco very proficient with these potions, because many wizard apprentices who co to our treatnt center with illnesses need these."
"The three potions are: Withered Bone Flesh-Growing Soup, Green Vine Detox Potion, and Unicorn Purification Potion."
This female first-class wizard apprentice said in a gentle voice, "These are our Healing Hand Treatnt Center's basic requirents for pharmacists. How about it, are you interested?"
Locke frowned and shook his head slightly.
Aside from other considerations, although this job could earn him one thousand magic stones monthly, that was only equivalent to the level of magic stones his plantation could earn monthly during his second-class wizard apprentice stage.
And for these one thousand magic stones, he would need to work fifteen days each month for this so-called treatnt center.
That aside, he would actually need to change his specialized potion research direction to focus on the three types of potions they listed.
Those three potions weren't very simple in difficulty and would cost him considerable energy to learn.
And from the looks of it, he'd still need to pay to learn them himself.
This treatnt was already quite poor.
No wonder they were blocking the assessnt venue entrance to recruit people. Most potion master assistants probably wouldn't consider this job.
So Locke imdiately declined.
Locke was curious enough to ask, "Is the treatnt center established by Lilith's Cottage?"
A trace of regret flashed in this first-class wizard apprentice's eyes. Her initial target had been set on Locke, since the other first-class wizard apprentice who passed the assessnt wasn't a student of Lilith's Cottage.
His level couldn't be guaranteed, and he looked quite old too.
This first-class wizard apprentice still gently explained, "No, the treatnt center was established by Advisor Francis from the academy's upper levels."
"It's considered a private institution, similar in nature to the shops in Chira Market. But the treatnt center's existence can give many academy students who have nowhere to seek treatnt an option, spend magic stones and they can solve many troubles they have."
Locke nodded regretfully. "That's very good, but unfortunately I have other things to do and don't have that much ti to be a pharmacist for your treatnt center."
That first-class wizard apprentice smiled, "You can consider it further. Currently, due to the wizard war, the treatnt center has admitted quite a few patients."
"At least working at the treatnt center, many dicinal materials used for treating illnesses are free. For potion master assistants lacking funds, this is a good place to practice brewing techniques for free."
Locke understood what she was saying. Many potion master assistants lacked funds and couldn't continue learning and researching potion formulas, so they could only seek help from external funding.
But this way, the direction they would research and learn next would definitely be influenced by those providing the money.
Locke nodded slightly, then pushed through the crowd and left.
The Focus Ointnt was only rated Level 5 in the cube, so Locke could continue synthesizing these Focus Ointnts to see if he could find new synthesis formulas.
After Locke returned to his cabin, he changed into casual clothes and sat on the sofa beside the warm fireplace in his house, placing the two Focus Ointnts he had saved previously together with the one he brewed during the assessnt for synthesis.
"I wonder what will be synthesized."
Locke thought, "If I can synthesize so special formulas, then I'll be very close to having my own pharmaceutical workshop."
Locke heard soone knocking on his door. He frowned slightly, and his expression changed because he sensed the terrifying magical pressure from the person outside the magic door.
That was the magical pressure belonging to a formal wizard. The powerful pressure even made his forehead begin to break out in slight cold sweat. The flas in the fireplace continuously flickered and moaned, as if even ordinary fire was crying out in agony under this magical pressure.
Locke waved his hand, extinguishing the flas in the fireplace while frowning. "Why would a formal wizard co looking for ?"
"Besides Witch Sophia, there shouldn't be any formal wizards coming to find . Could it be..." Locke quickly thought about what on him could be worth a formal wizard seeking him out and politely knocking on his door.
"The only possibility would be related to the advanced ditation thod."
"Could there be so problem?"
From outside the door ca an old man's voice. "I am Urien Rich."
"Locke Augustine, I have sothing to discuss with you privately."
