Shawn had never expected to receive an unexpected quest when he drew the Disguise Potion Recipe in the lottery.
"Garrison construction quest: Alchemy Lab." "Quest description: As a young mage destined to become a god of magic, how could you go without a secondary profession or two?

Alchemy corresponded to the Alchemy Lab.
As a mage, Shawn had plenty of choices. Some of the most suitable were alchemy, tailoring, and enchanting. Engineering and inscription were good too, and jewelcrafting was also an option. Blacksmithing, leatherworking, and the like weren't really necessary.

Since a quest for the Alchemy Lab had appeared, why not give it a try?
Shawn thought it over, got up, went out, and found
