MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 317 A Career Made for Gossip
Chapter 317 A profession born for gossip
【You spread out the Tarot cards in front of you, and used the elementary divination and ranking method...】
【Jane selected a card, the reversed Holy Grail card, you concentrate and gradually see the vague cause and effect...】
【Three names emerge in your mind's vision: Mitchell, Fitch, and Quincy. 】
Three?
Mu You was taken aback, there was indeed a pitfall. Judging from the causal relationship, she should be having an affair with at least three people... But no matter what, she must have a serious boyfriend. The question here is that it should be the real one that was announced to the public. Boyfriend, the remaining two are the 'interference items' set by her.
Mu You tried to manipulate the characters for in-depth divination again, but in the end it was difficult to divine more things. If it was Vivienne, this kind of trick would definitely be broken in minutes. His current level is still not enough after all...
Mu You shook his head, fortunately, it doesn't matter, three names, let's try one by one.
【You tell the other party that her boyfriend is 'Mitchell'. 】
【"Unfortunately, the answer was wrong." Jane looked at you with a smile and shook her head. 】
"Is it wrong..."
Mu You was not too surprised. He pressed his pocket watch and went back in time.
【Time passes, you tell the other party again that her boyfriend is 'Fitch'. 】
【"Unfortunately, the answer was wrong." Jane still had the same smile and tone. 】
"Not bad..."
Mu You frowned, and continued to press the table.
【Time flies, you said the last name: Quincy. 】
【"Unfortunately, the answer was wrong..."】
"No way…"
Mu You's expression became strange.
【Time flies, you tell the other party that her boyfriends are Mitchell, Fitch and Quincy. 】
【"Correct, the three of them are my wings." Jane glanced at you unexpectedly, and once suspected that you had already inquired about her in the club. Many members of the divination club knew that Jane was dating at the same time. three boyfriends. 】
"..."
Mu You was shocked, not only the three boyfriends, but they also knew about each other's existence?
【Jane admits that you passed the test, but tells you to keep this matter secret. 】
【You naturally agree, keeping secrets for the divination object is the professional ethics that every fortune-teller must abide by. 】
【After Jane left, the second fortuneteller walked into the room. 】
[Milton Eden, the eldest son of the Grand Duke Miltonhouse, his family's high status in the empire also brought him a lot of privileges in his life in the academy, allowing him to use his unqualified divination skills to Became one of the vice presidents of the divination club. 】
The second person who came in seemed to be a related household, the son of the Grand Duke, so he was indeed a high-ranking person.
Mu You was waiting for the divination that the related party would propose, but the question asked by the other party surprised him again.
【Eden has always suspected that he and his father are not related by blood, because they have no similarities in appearance. Eden wants you to divination, who is his real father? In fact, he has asked the fortune tellers of the same agency to do this question many times in private, and he knows the answer by heart. 】
Mu You: "..."
Are all the divination questions so unnatural?
He suddenly discovered that a fortuneteller seems to be a profession that can easily obtain a lot of gossip content.
Of course, no matter how much gossip you get, you can’t tell it. This is the unwritten rule of the fortune-teller. Once you violate it, you will not only be cast aside by all colleagues, but also by customers. Customers who come to the fortune-teller for fortune-telling are themselves a In the process of opening up and revealing the secret, who would look for a fortune teller who can't keep the secret?
Shaking his head, Mu You continued to play the game as usual. After some divination, he finally came up with four names, all of whom were people who had taken special care of Eden.
Still try one by one as usual.
Fortunately, this time, there was no magical operation of "four people are my father". When one of them was tested, Eden expressed his approval of Mu You's divination.
Afterwards, several other vice presidents appeared on the stage one by one, and the content of divination was also varied, such as 'Which cat is your favorite? ’, ‘someone’s birth time’, ‘who will be the Red Rose Star this year’ and so on.
Sure enough, the divination results are all ambiguous answers. These students with rich experience in divination know very well what kind of divination questions are most likely to involve ambiguous cause and effect.
It's also fortunate that Mu You has a pocket watch to cheat, otherwise, with his current beginner's skills, he really wouldn't be able to deal with these people.
The six vice presidents have all been resolved, and then it's the president's turn.
【President Lott walked into the divination room and sat in front of you. 】
【"I'm surprised that you can answer all six of their divinations correctly. This is something that talent alone cannot do." Lott looked at you and said, "Or, you are already a master with enough divination experience, Or, you have some kind of special skill, you can use methods other than divination to obtain more information...I am more inclined to the latter..."]
【Lott didn't ask you a divination question, but instead took a candle from the table. 】
【"So this time, I decided not to test your original question, because you can probably answer it right if you ask it."】
【"This time, I will divination for you."】
【"The content of divination is: whether you can get my recommendation letter today."】
【Lotter lit the candle and observed the dancing of the flame...】
【A moment later, Lott sighed and extinguished the candle. He had come to a conclusion, and took out a written letter from his sleeve and handed it to you. 】
【You have obtained the ‘upgrade recommendation letter from the divination agency’. 】
This fortune-telling president is very interesting, he seems to have seen that he is cheating, and finally used the method of fortune-telling to determine whether to write to him.
But this is futile. With a pocket watch, he can answer any questions. He must get this letter of recommendation, unless the other party denies the promise just now.
【Lotte tells you, this divination room will be your private divination room from now on. The members of the divination club will be very busy every day, because every day, students of all grades will come to you for divination of various things. Once you gain enough popularity and your reputation spreads, you can set up a charging standard and officially list for divination. 】
Mu You was overjoyed to see this. The president was really generous. Before he left, he also provided him with a stable divination position. After improving his proficiency every day, he could also receive some remuneration, which is a very good membership benefit.
Now that the two less-than-convincing recommendations of the Flight Club and the Divination Club have been settled, there is only one potion club that Muyou is best at, how can this be overturned?
[Potions are one of your best skills. You have personally refined fifth-level potions, and your level of refining medicines can theoretically crush all the students in the academy. Only the Potion Society has no possibility of rejecting you. ! 】
【After leaving the Divination Club, confidence flowed in your chest, and you swaggered into the gate of the Potion Club next door. 】
【You were stopped by the doorkeeper of the Potion Club! 】
【"After testing, your potion aptitude does not meet the standard and does not meet the income standards of our club. Thank you for your participation. Please consider other clubs." The young witch at the door looked at the talent test results in front of her and refused with a smile on her face. your application for membership. 】
"..."
Mu You was a little embarrassed. He forgot to take a qualification test before joining the company. In terms of potion qualifications, he was really unqualified.
There is no other way, at this time Mu You can only pretend to be a potion master.
【You did not leave, but told the witch that you are already a second-tier potionist, and there must be something wrong with her instrument. 】
【The witch looks at you suspiciously, and asks you for a Potion Master badge certified by the Wizarding Association. 】
The Wizarding Association has a service of certifying the level of potion masters, which is equivalent to the verification of potion masters. This badge is a certificate, which has a high gold content and is used everywhere in the astral world.
But Mu You definitely doesn't have such a thing.
【You told the witch that you have not participated in the assessment of the Wizarding Association, but you have been able to steadily refine all root potions below the second level, which definitely meets the standards of a second-level potion master. 】
【The witch didn't believe your words, but she couldn't be sure. She was just a potions apprentice, and she couldn't afford to offend a second-level potion master, so she had to ask you to wait. She went to ask the head of the club for instructions. 】
【President of the Potion Club ‘Harvey Andrew’ appeared in front of you. 】
【After Harvey learned what happened, he said that in your situation, you can only prove your strength by refining medicine on the spot. 】
【You need to refine ten different Tier 1 and Tier 2 potions within two hours, and the success rate cannot be lower than 70%. 】
Sure enough, you still have to show your hand first to convince the public.
The other party's 70% success rate was formulated according to the assessment standards of the Wizards Association, but this standard is much worse than Vivienne's standard. He usually practiced according to the 99% success rate of.
【You came to the medicine refining room of the Potion Society, and started refining medicine under the watchful eyes of everyone...】
【...You completed the finished products of seven second-order potions at an astonishing speed, with a success rate of 100%! 】
[Thanks to your solid foundation in daily life, at this moment, your performance in refining medicine is astounding, and no one dares to question your identity. There are not many second-level potion masters with such skillful techniques in the entire society. Your strength is already Enough to serve as a cadre of the society! 】
【President Harvey shakes your hand and welcomes new members. 】
There was no problem in the demonstration session, and he joined the Potion Club smoothly. Mu You didn't waste any time, and told the president straight to the point what he needed.
The result was similar to that of the divination agency, where he was also required to complete the default assessment in order to get a letter of recommendation.
Moreover, as the largest club in the school, the assessment of the Potion Club can be said to be the most difficult of all clubs.
[Harvey tells you that the content of the assessment is 'drug analysis': Next, he and the five vice presidents will each provide you with a low-level potion that failed to be refined. You need to analyze the ingredients through the residue of the medicine, In this way, the name of the potion and the reason for the failure of refining were deduced. 】
The potion that failed in refining has already destroyed most of its medicinal properties. In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to analyze the ingredients through the residue, let alone deduce the reason for the failure. This requires the potion master to must He is familiar with the formula and refining process of all low-level potions, and it is possible to do it until he is familiar with it like eating and drinking water. Those who can do this should have left the low-level potion master long ago. level.
If the previous assessments of divination and flying were relatively humane, the assessment of the Potion Club is a truly difficult assessment. I am afraid that it was designed with the purpose of not allowing anyone to pass.
[Harvey sees you in a daze, approaches, and whispers a secret to you: this assessment was made by the head of the first Potion Society, Anthene Vivian, and no matter how perverted the rules are, our descendants cannot change them , so far no one has completed this assessment, which is already well known in the academy. If you come here with the purpose of a letter of recommendation, he recommends that you change to another club as soon as possible. 】
Sure enough, even the president of the other party admitted that this rule is abnormal... But, Vivienne?
Mu You read the name mentioned in the text several times, and finally confirmed that it was Vivian's name.
"how?"
Vivian, who was taking a nap on the branch in the distance, felt Mu You's eyes looking at her.
"You... have also attended Red Rose Academy before?" Mu You asked with a strange expression.
"Red Rose..."
Vivian was startled, shook her head and said, "It happened a long time ago, but instead of going to school, I worked as a Potions Instructor in the Academy for about a year... What?"
Vivian could see that his expression was not quite right.
Mu You sighed and had no choice but to tell her what happened in the game.
"Oh? That rule is still there?" Vivian was a little surprised when she heard that.
"Isn't it still there? And now it's your students!" Mu You thought dumbfounded.
Vivienne glanced at him, and suddenly said: "This rule was originally intended for the students of the Potion Society to lay a solid foundation. It just so happens that you come to try it, and let me see how far your foundation has come..."
"Let me try…"
Mu You could only bite the bullet and take it.
Moreover, if you really can't analyze it, you can also ask Vivienne's staff, in short, turn off this in the game first.
【You tell Harvey that you decided to conduct an assessment. 】
【Harvey didn't refuse, and led you to an empty refining room, where there are all kinds of utensils you need. 】
【You have obtained six unknown potion residues. 】
【Please find out the ingredients and failure reasons of all potions within one hour. 】
This kind of work could never be done by game characters. After the other players in the game left, Mu You directly extracted the six bottles of potion to reality, and placed them on the workbench.
Vivian also flapped her wings and flew over at this time, silently observing his actions from the side.
Mu You prepared various tools such as beakers, test tubes, and used tweezers to pick out a handful of residue, spread it out on white paper, and began to analyze it.
"Dragon Heart Grass, Cattle Poison Gland, Silver Powder, Resurrection Grass...This should be a powerful antidote, the reason for the failure of refining...the proportion of poison glands is too high, which leads to the imbalance of medicinal properties..."
The first medicine was relatively simple, and Mu You analyzed it quite smoothly. When Vivian nodded, he knew he was right.
Mu You heaved a sigh of relief, if it's only this level, it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
