Chapter 148: I’m not shocking you guys on purpose

"How about ..." Fabreidis recommended, "We use the prescription that I gave. it would be a lot safer."
Rosella looked down at the potion she was holding in her hand and then looked up at Fabreidis. "Qian Jin said he wants Gabriella to drink this, and I trust him." She said.
Fabreidis sighed. "This potion probably won’t kill her. I will let Gabriella drink it first, and I can just make another one. Looks like Qian Jin is too young. The fact that he is now a level 9 Demon Fighter before the age of nineteen has gotten into his head and made him forgot what he should do and shouldn’t do. He must be thinking that he is a talented warrior and must also be a talented pharmacist as well. This isn’t a good sign. I will have to find time to help him correct this. I hope he doesn’t lose his mind for the next few days." He thought to himself.
The yellow potion slid down Gabriella’s throat through her red lips, and Fabreidis turned around and carefully thought about what potion he wanted to make to have a better effect that the yellow potion.
"Use Icy Bamboo Gra.s.s, it will get rid of the fire energy..." Fabreidis murmured to himself, "If I add a Chill Pomegranate on top of that..."
"It would cause a collision between the ice energy and fire energy. Although the fire energy would be extinguished, the ice energy would also harm her body. The fire energy would be gone fast, but the collision between the two energies would definitely harm her body even more. If the ice energy stays in her body for too long, it would leave behind sequela. If she walks in a snowfield, the sequel will show itself."
As if he was responding to Fabreidis’ murmurs, Qian Jin walked into the mourning hall with a bowl of green liquid.
"That’s ok, you can use Autumn Fruit." The female doctor said, "It has less ice energy and a milder effect..."
"The effect of that would be too slow." Qian Jin pa.s.sed the bowl to Rosella as he said, "Wood Yam Fruit should be used as the base of the potion. It doesn’t contain any ice energy and could distribute the fire energy in her body evenly so the energy won’t be concentrated at one point. Then if you add the Autumn Fruit to it, it would be a lot better."
"Wood Yam Fruit?" Fabreidis frowned, "That herb would only boost up the fire energy and won’t distribute it..."
"That’s why you need to add other herbs to make the Wood Yam Fruit not only affect one area but rather disperse its effect on every part of her body. That would be the only way to spread out the fire energy." Qian Jin looked at Gabriella, whose face was getting red, and continued, "She will probably wake up in ten minutes or so. Of course, she will be relatively weak, but she would get better after a few days of resting."
The female doctor frowned. Although using Wood Yam Fruit to spread out the fire energy was a good method, the herb itself was very hard to manipulate, and it was almost impossible to spread it across Gabriella’s body... "But this man is young, and it is still impressive that he is so well rounded in terms of theories." She thought.
After ten minutes, a light moan came out of Gabriella’s mouth, and Gabriella woke up as her body shook a little.
The female doctor gasped in surprise, "How is this possible?"
Fabreidis also looked at Qian Jin with his eyes opened wide. "This... He actually made it happen! Could it be that he really understands pharmaceuticals?" He thought.
"Look." Qian Jin said as he shrugged his shoulders, "Take her to a bedroom and make sure to not cover her up in any blankets. Sleep will help with her recovery."
He said ten minutes, and she woke up in ten minutes! No one doubted Qian Jin’s words anymore. Gomez Jane held Gabriella in her arms and walked towards the buildings behind Qian Jin. But she also turned her head around and looked at Qian Jin in curiosity.
Fabreidis got close to Qian Jin and asked quietly, "You know pharmaceuticals?"
"A little bit." Qian Jin answered, "If I go to the Pharmacist Union, I can probably get the license of a Top-tier Pharmacist. I’m still a little bit away from a Pharmacy Master."
...
Fabreidis didn’t know whether he should trust what Qian Jin said or how he should respond to what Qian Jin said. "A Top-tier Pharmacist? Does he know what he is talking about? The number of Top-tier Pharmacists at Zence Empire could be counted using basic mental math! All of them had white hair and bent backs. They do look like they would return to the stars at any second. A Top-tier Pharmacist that is less than nineteen years old?" He thought.
"If everything goes smoothly and no accident happens." Qian Jin rubbed his chins and recalled Adams’ comment about him, "You little monster! When I achieved the level of Pharmacy Master, my master was so shocked that his heart almost stopped pumping. Could it be that you want to become a Pharmacy Master who is less than twenty-one years old? Do you want to scare me to death?"
"Eh!" Qian Jin nodded confidently as he said, "In less than three years, I should be able to become a Pharmacy Master. In terms of becoming a Pharmacy Grandmaster... That will probably take a very long time..."
Bam... The medical box dropped onto the ground from the female doctor’s hands, and the herbs in it fell all over the ground. The doctor herself stared at Qian Jin as she wondered, "Is he telling the truth or just making things up..."
"You..." Fabreidis felt like he couldn’t laugh at this. "You are kidding, right?" he asked.
"No."
Fabreidis felt like Qian Jin was telling the truth after he saw Qian Jin’s serious face. The world in his eyes started to spin and shake, and he was forced to reevaluate the young man standing in front of him. A level 9 Demon Fighter who is less than nineteen years old, a Forge Master who is less than nineteen years old, a Top-tier Pharmacist who is less than nineteen years old... Any one of these t.i.tles is impossible for a nineteen-year-old person to get, but Qian Jin doesn’t just have one, he has three at the same time!" He thought to himself.
Qian Jin didn’t know what was going through Fabreidis’s head, but if he knew, he would notify Fabreidis out of good faith that he was no longer a Forge Master... After studying from old Blake for two years, he finally knew that there were ten levels for Forge Masters as well. Before he left Four Season Valley, he was already a level 10 Forge Master.
In Blake’s words, one of his legs had already stepped into the threshold of a Forging Grandmaster.
"I’m a little dizzy." Fabreidis placed one of his palms onto his head. He sat down and took a sip of the tea at the table as he calmed down his racing heart. After all that, he looked up at Qian Jin as he asked, "What do you think of Sabonis?"
"Very smart." Qian Jin sat down after he saw Fabreidis’ gesture.
"I’m talking about his ident.i.ty, the mayor." Fabreidis corrected, "I’m asking if you think the position of a mayor is very dominating."
"Of course." Qian Jin nodded without raising any objections as he said, "I’m working towards it as well."
"Then do you think you are stronger or Sabonis is stronger?" Fabreidis asked seriously as he stared at Qian Jin in the eyes, "In terms of a real unconstrained duel."
Without even thinking, Qian Jin answered, "I can take on two Sabonis at the same time, and there would still be some left over strength."
Fabreidis laughed lightly when he heard the answer. He asked again as he pointed at himself, "What do you think about dueling with me?"
"Without using any weapon, you can probably fight two of me at the same time with one hand, and it won’t be challenging for you at all." Qian Jin remembered the feeling when Fabreidis tested his internal energy reservoirs last night; it felt like he was facing the Demon Uyeha Spider when he was only a level 7 Demon Fighter.
"Then why am I the guardian and he is the mayor?"
Qian Jin fell into a state of deep thinking. He had never thought about this question before, and he couldn’t answer this question on the spot. Zence Empire was established on battles and wars; therefore, the mayor of the city should be the strongest person there! After all, all the administrative work would be done by officials under the mayor, and the mayor could just focus on the big events.
"Because of networking." Fabreidis dipped his finger into the tea and then wrote the word onto the table. "You goal is probably to become the mayor of a city, right?" he asked.
Qian Jin nodded and agreed. Although he was a level 9 Demon Fighter, he still couldn’t go back to Qian Family and rescue his father. Technically, he could, but he couldn’t leave with his father proudly from Qian Family where his father was forced and bullied.
"Mayor! I’m only able to leave with dad and have everyone else staring at him in envy if I become a mayor!" Qian Jin shouted in his mind.
"You are a lot stronger than Sabonis, and I’m a lot stronger than you, but I can only be the guardian of the city." Fabreidis said to Qian Jin with a strange smile on his face.
"You are saying that I couldn’t become a mayor if I try to apply?" Qian Jin asked.
"Of course." Fabreidis opened his palms and said, "You are qualified to become the mayor of a remote city, but what else do you have except fighting ability? Military Merits? Or did you have an excellent performance and grade at an advanced academy? Or do you have a lot of supporters?"
Qian Jin fell into a moment of silence. He stared at Fabreidis as he knew that the guardian of the city would never leave him half-hanging, all he had to do was to wait patiently.
"Go to Yulee State. The stage here is too small, and it won’t bring you more opportunities." Fabreidis took out a yellow envelope from his pocket and said, "This is the letter that I prepared for you two years ago. I was planning to tell you to bring it to a guy called Marc Gavin at the Warrior Union in Yulee State. He would take care of all the things for you, including registering you for the advanced warrior and mage academy at Yulee State – Punitive Expedition Academy."
"Punitive Expedition Academy?" Qian Jin lightly frowned. This was the second time that this elder who really cared for him told him to go to an advanced warrior and mage academy.
"What? Anything strange?" Fabreidis laughed as he placed the letter into Qian Jin’s hands, "Do you think you can accomplish everything with your Energy Reservoir Cycle Technique? This is an Empire formed by many people, and there is a prerequisite for becoming a mayor."
A light bulb flashed in Qian Jin’s head as he shouted, "The graduation paper from an advanced warrior and mage academy!"
Fabreidis smiled as he nodded. "A mayor needs to keep the peace of an area. If there is a war, the mayor must know how to command the soldiers to fight a war. How could the Empire send someone to test the candidates on commanding and getting orders when he or she applies for the position, and what scores would qualify? It would be too subjective! Therefore, the graduation paper from an advanced warrior and mage academy was required before applying for the position of a mayor in Zence Empire!"
"Really think about it." Fabreidis tapped Qian Jin’s shoulder as he said, "If you want to marry my daughter, you would at least have to be a mayor to do so."
"What?" As if he was sitting on a chair filled with nails, Qian Jin jumped up and asked Fabreidis in shock, "Who is going to marry your daughter?"
"You of course." Fabreidis looked at Qian Jin calmly as if everything was normal, "The [Dual Moon] Jane, you revived it."
"Yeah."
"Ok then. Jane had said that she will marry whoever revives [Dual Moon]."
"WHAT??"
"Do you think I’m joking?"
"I already have a woman..."
"The law at Zence didn’t say that a man could only marry one woman."
"Could we talk this out..."
"Ok, sounds good. You can go and talk to Jane’s [Dual Moon]."
"Then why didn’t you tell me before I revived [Dual Moon]?"
"You didn’t ask me."
"Uncle, I’m calling you uncle. I have two women already..."
"The more the better. Three aren’t much at all."
"I’m now suspecting the relations.h.i.+p between you and Gomez Jane. I don’t think she is your biological daughter."
"This I can guarantee. As a man, I’m confident in my reproductive abilities."
