In fact, it only took her ten minutes longer.
Two hundred pounds of foxtail grass vanished into thin air, replaced by an astonishing number of anti-inflammatory pills.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Bai Jing would never have believed that this stuff could actually be made into an anti-inflammatory drug...
Is this what a " All-Purpose Craftsman " is like?
As expected, there is a chasm between All-Purpose Category Awakened and ordinary Awakened!
Chapter 40
More than two thousand anti-inflammatory pills should be enough for the wounded in Liu Family Village for a while.
Song Xiaozhu not only produced anti-inflammatory drugs, but she also produced a large quantity of hemostatic powder. Both were shipped out simultaneously, and these 200 jin of foxtail grass were used to make more than 300 sets of medicines.
Each set contains ten portions, so 300 sets would be 3000 portions.
Bai Jing and Qiu Shuyu were already exhausted from looking at the results, but Song Xiaozhu was still not satisfied—she was really unlucky, failing to even reach the average score, which should have been at least 4,000.
Despite making so many medicines, Song Xiaozhu hadn't been able to advance her " Pharmacist " skill from level one to level two. She knew that proficiency in medicine production depended on the number of times it was synthesized, not the final quantity.
To upgrade to level two, it would probably require another 200 synthesis attempts.
It's not difficult; if she weren't in such a hurry to get the medicine back to the shack, she could have finished brushing it today.
200 pounds of dog tails is a huge amount, but after being made into small pills and powder, it becomes pitifully little.
Especially anti-inflammatory pills, each one is only about 50 milligrams, and more than two thousand pills would only weigh a little over 100 grams, which is equivalent to the weight of a small apple.
The hemostatic powder is slightly heavier, with one serving being about 10g, and the total weight is only about two or three pounds.
Let alone the three of them, even Old Master Bai could easily carry them back by himself.
Bai Jing: "Let's go back to the shack."
Song Xiaozhu had already packed the medicine, Qiu Shuyu snatched it away, hanging it on her elbow. Song Xiaozhu didn't try to take it from her, only replying, "Okay!"
She does indeed intend to cooperate with Mu Qing, but she's not in a hurry.
Previously, she was eager to prove her " Craftsman " skills with an iron axe. Now that Bai Jing is back, she can communicate with Mu Qing on a relatively equal footing, and then she will need a stable source of goods.
Only five or six rounds like this is definitely not enough.
She needs to find a stable source of iron and manufacture it in large quantities before she can set up a stall at the lumberyard... cough, to put it more elegantly, open a shop!
The long-awaited notification sound suddenly rang out:
"To trigger Growth Quest 4, please select:"
"Task A: Seize 'Shop'*1, Reward: 100 Quantum Coin, 50 Repair Points."
"Task B: Establish 'Shop'*1, Reward: 50 Quantum Coin, 100 Repair Points."
Song Xiaozhu: "..."
The idea of opening a shop had barely crossed her mind when the Synthesizer came along with some freebies?
What exactly are the trigger conditions for this Growth Quest?
Song Xiaozhu recalled for a moment but couldn't figure out any pattern. However, one thing was certain: Task A was as brutal as ever, while Task B was consistently friendly. If this were a text-based choice game, the former would be chaotic, while the latter would be a lawful progression path.
Song Xiaozhu didn't hesitate and chose B directly.
She could easily set up her own shop, so why would she risk taking it by force?
As for the reward of Quantum Coin...
Well, the Repair Points is also important.
Moreover, what kind of "shops" are there in this Scavenger Community?
The only place that could be called a shop was the recycling station in the community.
To seize the recycling bin?
She wasn't that overconfident.
With the Growth Quest in hand, Song Xiaozhu's determination to "open a shop" became even stronger.
As she walked, she pondered the situation. The most suitable place right now was undoubtedly a logging camp. As long as Bai Jing wasn't mistaken, Mu Qing seemed like a pretty good person. She figured he wouldn't refuse if she opened a tool shop there...
No, Mu Qing might not be willing to offend Old Madam Hu.
Mu Qing's purpose was simply to protect the lumberjacks, who spent their nights resting in the Scavenger Community.
Old Madam Hu monopolized the entire community's trade; if lumberjacks didn't buy their tools from the recycling station, they'd likely be kicked out by her.
At that time...
It's not worth the risk.
From this perspective, it's really not easy for her to open a shop at the logging camp.
Mu Qing wouldn't mind if she set up a stall and sold a small quantity of useful iron axes, but opening a shop... that's a different story.
The only remaining option is Liu Family Village...
Liu Family Village is in a terrible state right now, but once it gets through this crisis, everything will be in need of rebuilding and there will be so many things to use.
She can not only run a tool shop, but also a food shop, and even sell water—which the villagers can consume when they have some money.
Liu Family Village is definitely dirt poor right now, but she's not after much money.
The purpose is twofold: to complete Growth Quest and to accumulate Transaction Value.
Money or no money...
What's the use of having so many?
You can't exchange them for Quantum Coin!
After thinking about it, Song Xiaozhu had an idea.
The three quickly returned to the community shack.
Xiao Tong was in a slightly better mood than in the morning. Hearing the noise, he rolled out of bed, his sharp eyes alert like a cheetah's. But upon seeing a familiar face, his expression instantly softened, like a large cat with its claws outstretched, its eyes gleaming with fear.
jump.
" Master Bai... Xiaozhu, Xiao Qiu..."
He originally wanted to call Song Xiaozhu" senior," but Bai Jing forbade him. He wanted to keep Song Xiaozhu's abilities a secret as much as possible, so he wouldn't let Xiao Tong call him "senior" again and again.
Xiao Tong stared at Song Xiaozhu expectantly, afraid that she would give bad news.
He spent that day in the shack, feeling as if each day was an eternity.
His injuries were nothing; his mind was completely focused on the life-saving medicine. If anything went wrong, he would truly be left with no way out.
When Xiao Tong is alone, he always feels like he's dreaming.
Are there really anti-inflammatory drugs that cheap?
Are there really people who can make medicine at the foot of this Garbage Mountain?
Xiao Tong found it unbelievable, yet he had unwavering faith in Bai Jing.
Master Bai wouldn't lie to him.
