EN1MP 19

Merry Christmas all and enjoy the festive season!




 Chapter 19


The environment of K-0218 planet was extremely primitive, so high-tech products were almost hard to find, not to mention the high-rise buildings and flying cars that were common in cities on other planets. But at the same time, the natural environment here was great.

The dense forest covered the sky, the clean stream was clear, and dozens of flexible small fish swam around in the water.

As soon as Bai Xia saw the stream, he happily cheered, threw off his backpack, and jumped into the water. His anxious behavior didn't show his usual gentleness at all.

The cool stream water washed over his body, taking away the heat from his body. Bai Xia squinted his eyes in comfort, wishing that he could soak in the stream water!

"Woo~!!! I'm finally alive!" Bai Xia rolled in the water with his clothes on and laid in the stream without getting up.

Pan Mu's mouth twitched. He quickly caught the bag thrown by Bai Xia with some disdain and silently sweated for his younger cousin brother.

Didn't this kid see the dangerous glint from Classmate Ye next to him?

He was so careless, throwing the herbs that the pharmacist had picked with great effort on the ground. If they were broken, wouldn't he be skinned and pulled out?

Seeing that the bag containing the magic plants was safely caught by someone, Ye Wenya slowly retracted her dangerous gaze. If these magic plants were crushed on the ground, the medicinal properties of the drugs would be mixed together. She felt that she might flip her face on the spot.

Pan Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'll help Classmate Ye carry these... Classmate Ye, where do you think we should put them?"

"Please put them over there for me..."

Ye Wenya looked around and pointed to the nearby open space and said, "It's more convenient there, suitable for me to make potions."

"No problem." Pan Mu nodded, carried two bags full of magic plants to the open space, and put them down gently. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he also went into the water to relax with Bai Xia.

The black cat, who had been squatting on Pan Mu's shoulder on the way, didn't dare to look up at Ye Wenya in front of him. Instead, because of the approach of the other party, the whole cat was very stiff. Even its tail was tense, looking like a guilty thief.

Fortunately, Ye Wenya’s attention was wholly on the magic plants and didn't notice the guilty reaction of the black cat.

When approaching the river, Bai Xia noticed the black cat's movements. Bai Xia scratched his head and remarked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with this cat? I noticed that it looked guilty and shy all the way. Exactly like our family’s little white cat when falling in love with someone else's little female cat, stole the roasted fish filet at home, and was discovered by my mother."

"It's just an ordinary black cat. How can it be as exaggerated as you say?" Pan Mu’s mouth twitched, "Besides, you are a rodent beastman, not a cat beastman. How can you understand what a cat is thinking? I think... this cat may have been smoked by the stench on your body earlier, so it looks wilted."

"This is impossible! Our cat likes me the most! He especially likes to play with me. Other cats must be the same!" Bai Xia's eyes widened, puffed his cheeks, and looked confident. After saying that, he seemed to feel that something was missing to convince Pan Mu.

Whoosh——

A small white hamster, half the size of a palm, floated out of the clothes.

If Pan Mu hadn't been quick-witted, the combat uniform Bai Xia was wearing would have floated down the stream.

The furry little hamster was now wet all over and its soft fur fluttered behind it along the stream, making its small eyes look big, round, and bright.

"Squeak! Squeak!" The little hamster squeaked excitedly at the black cat, saying, "Come here, come here!" 

It even shook its short tail, which was as big as a soybean, at the black cat.

Black cat: "…………"

Pan Mu: "…………"

Pan Mu's expression was a bit hard to describe. He stared at Bai Xia with eyes that looked like he was looking at a fool.

This was like to play with you? This was basically your family cat wanting to hunt and chase you!

Putting aside how speechless Pan Mu and Xiao Chen were, Ye Wenya chose a good place, put away the magic plants she had picked earlier, and dealt with them in delight.

From the original starting point to the current location, Ye Wenya and the other two encountered a total of more than a dozen mutated beasts. Most of these mutated beasts were low-level and medium-level mutated beasts of level 2 and 3. After she killed two, she handed all the unconscious mutated beasts to Bai Xia and Pan Mu to finish them off, while she continued to squat at the side to dig magic plants.

So until now, Ye Wenya's test score was only 345 points. However, Bai Xia and Pan Mu's scores have increased by about 200 points each.

This directly made the total points of their three-person team squeeze into the top 100 of the ranking list. In the end, the four B-level beastmen seemed difficult to deal with, but it wasn’t difficult to redeem them with the physical strength of A-level beastmans. Only one A-level beastman was needed to hunt them alone and earn these 80 points.

If there were 4 physical strength A-level beastmen in the same team, they could redeem even the level 5 beasts, not to mention that there were several high-level beastmen with physical strength of S-level in the higher grade. They were all elites among the elites cultivated in the academy over the years.

These beasts consumed most of the paralysis powder in her hand. It was time to replenish the potion in her hand.

Extraction, quenching, drying, configuration,

Ye Wenya's series of movements in her hands were like flowing clouds and water and dazzled people who were watching. The crystal sweat on her forehead slid down the girl's fair cheeks. But she didn't care, her eyes were focused on the movements in her hands.

Preparing a potion required absolute concentration, especially for many potions. Once the proportion was wrong or if the order of placing a certain medicinal material was wrong or the time was slightly off, the whole bottle of potion will be wasted.

This was why the mental power of high-level pharmacists was extremely strong.

Strong mental power could make people have the ability to remember everything at a glance, observe everything in detail, and every change of the potion was under their control.

So Ye Wenya could understand that the original owner with C-level mental power and bad grades couldn't prepare a good potion.

Bottles of potions jumped on Ye Wenya's white fingertips and the finishing touch was complete.

If it weren't for the fact that the basic backpacks of candidates majoring in pharmacy have a large number of potion bottles and simple configuration tools, Ye Wenya really wouldn't dare to make so many potions at one time.

Bai Xia was processing the game hunted in the forest and cleaning the wild fruits and mushrooms picked up from the mountains, while occasionally glancing at Ye Wenya. He sighed: "Classmate Ye, this is simpyl amazing... It's only been a short time since we hunted, picked up firewood, and haven't even started roasting the meat yet... and Classmate Ye has already refined seven or eight bottles of potions... Back in school, I saw the senior’s competitions and they weren't this amazing... Those people often needed one or two hours to refine a potion."

Pan Mu took a glimpse and was also impressed. After some pondering,  he said: "Maybe the potion refined by Classmate Ye isn’t of high level... The speed of a high-level pharmacist refining a low-level potion must be different..."

Take addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, it was difficult for elementary school kids. But for a university professor, even the outrageous questions could be answered directly without even thinking. It went without saying the speed would increase.

It was precisely because of this that Pan Mu felt that the girl was becoming more and more unfathomable.
