Chapter 20 – Uncle Chen doesn't like your attitude

"Do you want to become a Potion Master?"

A cold voice echoed as a woman with flowing long hair and a stern face stepped out.

She was tall and naturally exuded an aura of arrogance.

Little Wang, the security guard, didn't even dare to look her in the eye, only muttering softly before leaving the floor.

"Yes, I want to give it a try," Chen Shu said, continuously observing her.

"This is not a place for kids to play. Go back."

The woman turned and left, never once looking directly at Chen Shu.

"What's up with Xiaoyu, introducing all kinds of people to the company, just causing trouble."

"My interview hasn't even started yet!" Chen Shu shouted.

"It's already over!"

The woman's cold voice came back as she returned to the laboratory.

Options appeared before Chen Shu once again.

[Option 1: Stay silent and go home dejectedly. Reward: Title 'Defeated Before Starting', Effect: Unlucky Aura +1]

[Option 2: Kick the woman unexpectedly, causing her to lose her composure and get angry. Reward: Medium Beast Power]

[Option 3: Sneak into the laboratory and look for an opportunity. Reward: 'Charge' Skill +1]

Chen Shu watched the woman's retreating figure. Although he was tempted to choose the second option, reason held him back.

If he kicked her, he would definitely lose the job and be resented by others.

"Let's sneak in and take a look first."

Seeing the woman had gone far, Chen Shu swaggered to the laboratory entrance.

"Oh, there's even a coat here."

Chen Shu calmly picked up the white coat at the door, put it on, and donned a mask before entering the laboratory.

His demeanor was composed, instantly blending in.

Chen Shu walked into a small laboratory where three people were intently brewing elixirs.

Each of the three had their own role, and they were brewing Flame Elixir.

"Busy, huh?"

Chen Shu greeted them amicably with his hands behind his back.

The three looked over, unsure of who he was, but smiled and nodded.

"Busy is good, busy is good. The company can't do without you core members."

Chen Shu left the laboratory with his hands behind his back.

"Take care, sir," one person hurriedly said, thinking some company executive had come.

Chen Shu stumbled slightly, surprised to be mistaken for a leader.

Confidence filled his eyes as he boldly inspected the area.

"Hmm? Finally found the Strength Elixir."

Chen Shu was delighted and entered the laboratory.

But no one was inside, probably due to some matter.

"Should I wait?" Chen Shu was bored in the laboratory.

A few minutes later, he saw various medicinal materials on the table, including five precious Strength Flowers.

Chen Shu's curiosity was piqued, and he picked up the materials.

The system's Potion Science showed that the Strength Elixir could be brewed. Brew it?

Curious, Chen Shu chose to brew.

At that moment, he felt himself enter a strange state, as if his body was being controlled by the system.

His hands moved steadily, like a machine, continuously picking up refined materials and adding them to the container in precise proportions.

Soon, the white elixir in the container emitted a faint sweet aroma, identical to the Strength Elixir sold on the market.

"Low-grade Strength Elixir successfully brewed. Unlock Medium-grade Strength Elixir after brewing ten times! 1/10"

Chen Shu was slightly stunned, not expecting the system to be so user-friendly.

Medium-grade Strength Elixir could be used for Contracted Spirits of levels four to six. The materials were the same, but the main ingredient required two Strength Flowers, and the difficulty doubled, naturally increasing the selling price.

"I wonder how many bottles were brewed."

Chen Shu poured the elixir into standard bottles.

Soon, thirteen bottles of Strength Elixir were placed on the table, equivalent to over sixty thousand Huaxia Coins.

And his cost was less than twenty thousand, truly a lucrative industry.

Of course, the real profit wasn't from the Strength Elixir but from his system.

Depending on the Potion Master's level, they could brew five to ten bottles of Strength Elixir.

Ordinary Potion Masters could only brew five bottles, with a chance of failure.

Since Chen Shu's brewing was done by the system, it was naturally at the highest level of ten bottles.

Plus, the Control Level proficiency reduced material usage by 30%, resulting in an additional 30% yield, hence the thirteen bottles.

"Brewing thirteen bottles at once might be too high-profile," Chen Shu thought.

Just then, footsteps approached.

Quickly, Chen Shu stored seven bottles in the system space.

The laboratory door opened, and two people in white coats walked in.

"Hmm? Who are you?" Xu Qingxue frowned, her eyes unfriendly.

Damn! It's her!

Chen Shu's heart sank, not expecting it to be the woman who had been cold to him.

"The laboratory layout is well done."

Chen Shu nodded with his hands behind his back, nonchalantly heading for the door.

"It's you!" Xu Qingxue immediately recognized him, "That student!!"

"Wow, you recognized me?"

Chen Shu didn't expect her to react so quickly and had to remove his mask.

"You dare to enter the laboratory without permission?" Xu Qingxue's eyes were filled with anger at his audacity.

"Sis, I'm really here for an interview, why make it difficult for me?" Chen Shu said.

The two stared at each other, neither backing down.

"Huh? These elixirs?"

The person with Xu Qingxue suddenly looked at the experiment table and saw six bottles of Strength Elixir.

He stepped forward and sniffed the Strength Elixir.

"This is real Strength Elixir!" The Potion Master exclaimed, clearly in disbelief.

Xu Qingxue also realized, looking at Chen Shu incredulously, "You brewed this?"

"I told you, I really can brew Strength Elixir." Chen Shu spread his hands, looking quite helpless.

A high school student capable of brewing Strength Elixir, and producing six bottles, meant his level surpassed that of ordinary Alchemists.

Such an astonishing feat left the two in prolonged silence.

It turns out, some people are just here to fill the numbers...

After a long pause,

Xu Qingxue swallowed and asked, "Is your failure rate high when brewing elixirs?"

"Basically, I don't fail," Chen Shu replied.

"On behalf of the company, I hope you can become the department's Potion Master!" Xu Qingxue said solemnly, feeling a bit regretful.

Amidst the fog, she hadn't expected the real talent to be right in front of her.

"Your previous attitude, Uncle Chen didn't like it."

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, shaking his head, looking at Xu Qingxue with a teasing gaze.
