C4 Make the Medicine

The traffic in this agricultural market is not small. In less than two hours, that big sister had sold ten chickens, and Lu Shan had finally completed one of his novice missions.

When Lu Shan killed the tenth chicken, a system notification immediately appeared in his mind:

"Beginner Quest 2: Kill - Completed (10 / 10). Additional reward: 10 Upgrade Experience Value."

Then, there was nothing else. The reward for the previous mission did not appear.

Lu Shan was stunned. He thought that the system would not go back on its word, right? Then why didn't the promised mission reward be given to him?

He looked at the large bottle of stimulants in his hand and his heart moved.

Could it be that the blood pill came from this bottle of stimulant?

Thinking of this, Lu Shan took advantage of the fact that the big sister was not paying attention and pulled out the Upgrade Box in his mind. He placed this large bottle of stimulant into an empty space in the Upgrade Box.

Then, he saw a burst of treasure light lingering around. After a moment, the large bottle of stimulant disappeared. Only a red pill the size of an egg was left in the empty space in the treasure box.

As expected!

Lu Shan excitedly reached out and grabbed the red pill in his hand. A notification immediately rang in his mind:

"Blood pill (Low, defective). After consuming it, it can instantly stimulate five times the power of qi and blood. Lasts for five minutes. This item can only be used by people below Level-3. "

Lu Shan remembered that when the system issued a mission, it said that this blood pill could release five to ten times the power of blood and Qi. Now, the blood pill he had obtained could only stimulate five times the Vitality Force. Clearly, this blood pill was simply trash among low-level medicines!

But he could not blame others for this. Who asked Lu Shan to kill ten chickens? He estimated that if he chose to kill ten cows, horses, and other large livestock and then use their blood to fuse with them, the blood pill he obtained should have the effect of increasing the power of blood vitality by tenfold. But, where could he find ten cows and horses to kill?

After that, he looked at the number of uses of the Upgrade Box and discovered that it was still marked (0 / 10). It seemed that when he combined the stimulant into a blood pill just now, he did not consume the number of uses of the Upgrade Box!

After completing the killing mission, Lu Shan helped Eldest Sister kill another chicken. Unfortunately, after he killed this chicken, there were no more notifications in his mind. He discovered that the upgrading experience displayed on the Upgrade Box was still the same (20 / 100).

It seemed like it was impossible for him to level up by relying on "killing monsters!" Since that was the case, there was no need for him to waste any more time here. Furthermore, the sky was already dark, and he had yet to find a place to rest. He could not sleep on the streets tonight!

Thus, Lu Shan bid farewell to the eldest sister of the chicken shop. He carried his travel bag and found a small inn nearby to stay in.

After he put down his luggage, he ordered a large bowl of noodles in Shuangqing Noodles near the small inn. After filling his stomach, Lu Shan began to worry about another novice mission.

After completing the killing mission, he didn't need to worry every month! If he couldn't complete the task of making medicine, he wouldn't be able to accept the penalty of his height shrinking by five centimeters.

He wasn't a medical student, so he had no idea how to make the medicine. However, when he saw the bottle of chicken blood being transformed into a blood pill in the Upgrade Box previously, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps he could use the Upgrade Box to complete this task.

Thinking of this, Lu Shan ran to a pharmacy and bought over a hundred different kinds of herbs. He wanted to see if he could use these herbs to concoct a low-level potion.

Lu Shan did not have much money, so he did not dare to choose the expensive herbs. He only bought a few grams of each herb.

He still spent over 600 yuan. Seeing that there was only a little more than 1000 yuan left in his pocket, Lu Shan could not help feeling pained.

To suddenly obtain such a mysterious Upgrade Box, he thought that he had picked up a treasure! In the end, he did not get any profit at all. Instead, he spent nearly a thousand yuan!

However, in order to not become short, no matter how much money he had to pay, he was willing!

After returning to the small inn, Lu Shan started to open up all the medicinal herbs. Then, he placed them in the five squares of the Upgrade Box in sequence.

There were a total of over a hundred medicinal herbs here, and each five herbs were in a group. Lu Shan could only try out different combinations time and time again.

He was busy all the way until ten o'clock at night. The Upgrade Box did not react at all.

It seemed that without the foundation of pharmacology, it was impossible for him to complete the task of making the medicine within twenty-four hours!

Perhaps if he became shorter, he could still appear more adorable!

Lu Shan helplessly comforted himself, and then he felt that he was hungry. So he decided to ignore the matter of the medicine and eat first! Immediately, he picked up his wallet and left the inn.

Lu Shan had been studying in a nearby university for a few years, so he had a better understanding of the surrounding environment. Immediately, he went around two streets in a familiar manner and arrived at a bustling street.

Although Lu Shan did not have much money and he did not have a job, Lu Shan felt that he could not treat himself unfairly. He thought that he could eat better occasionally.
