Martial Arts Pharmacist

Chapter 186 Martial Arts Pharmacist (4,000 words)

The world enters.

A random region, starting from a house.

The world has changed, and Ningdu has successfully entered.

All the other students taking the college entrance exam were gone; only I remained.

The presence of a television in front of me proves that this world is still a technologically advanced world for normal humans.

The TV was playing a loop of a GG message.

"Great news! Great news! The Martial Arts Tournament officially begins today! Want to win a huge prize? Want status and power? Want to become a hero of humanity? Come and join the Martial Arts Tournament! Everything you want is here!"

Ning Du frowned slightly.

This guy is very flamboyant. Does he represent the style of this world?

But the humans inside are normal, and the television is normal too. This proves that the characteristics of this world are not particularly exaggerated.

By the way, there's a characteristic of this world that we should pay attention to.

If we can grasp the laws of this world, then we're truly safe!

Suddenly, an AI voice sounded in my ear.

"The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has begun. Attention all candidates: From this moment forward, all your actions will be broadcast live online. Please abide by the law and cherish humanity! Now, we are announcing Main Quest One: Participate in the Martial Arts Tournament! Quest instructions: Candidates must obtain a preliminary qualification for the Martial Arts Tournament within two days. Failure to do so will result in immediate quest failure. Please explore the side quests in this world at your own discretion."

After hearing the main quest, Ning Du immediately got up and walked outside.

The TV behind him was still playing GG on a loop, but Ning Du didn't even look at it and slammed the door shut.

Stepping outside, the first thing that catches the eye is the bustling city.

The buildings are rather scattered, with all sorts of styles, including domed, pointed, and some that look like rabbits.

The people's clothing style is also quite bizarre, with bright colors and all sorts of random things.

There are cell phones and cars, but there are no aircraft in the sky.

Ning Du immediately concluded from these observations that the technology of this world was at an average level, much weaker than that of their allied world.

However, the political climate is quite open-minded. You can tell that just by looking at their clothes; they really do show skin.

During this period, when Teacher Qin was giving him a crash course on time travel knowledge, he emphasized this point.

Be sure to pay attention to the customs of this other world; otherwise, you might be mistaken for someone else because of inappropriate clothing or a different style.

That's it, the natives of this world will arrest you. This is the worst-case scenario, so be careful.

Fortunately, this situation did not occur in this year's college entrance examination.

Walking along the street, Ningdu also saw shops selling electrical appliances. He stopped to take a closer look. They had rice cookers, refrigerators, air conditioners—all the household appliances were available, which was excellent.

Continuing forward, Ningdu saw a computer store and went straight inside.

Laptops in this world look heavy, thick and bulky, but as long as they can access the internet, that's fine.

Once he confirmed that the internet existed in this world, Ning Du's smile returned.

Then he looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

Ning Du's fingers quickly transformed into the shape of a USB flash drive, then he determined the interface size and inserted it directly.

The computer screen changed rapidly in the next moment.

Quickly, a familiar software program appeared.

Generate your global identity with a single click!

While Ningdu was starting its activities, other students were also beginning their college entrance examinations.

Many people listened to the main quest with excitement and nervousness, and then rushed out to find the place to register for the martial arts tournament.

Even more foolish people would go out into the street and ask everyone they met, "Hey bro, how do I sign up for the martial arts tournament?"

The people on the street stared at them like they were idiots.

Some people even took a closer look at their clothes and then called the police.

Before long, the street was in chaos, and in no time, Si Ping began to descend into disorder.

Alliance World, Gaokao.com

Countless people were watching the live stream.

The official team also had a dedicated live broadcast room, where several professors and teachers from prestigious universities were invited to watch the broadcast live.

"The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has begun! Parents and viewers, welcome! All the students are now on their first day of their extraordinary adventure in this other world!"

The host was a man named Zhang Wu.

He waved his hand behind him, and hundreds of live stream images appeared on the wall behind him, constantly updating and changing.

"Now we see that the students have already set out. Some have started asking around on the streets, while others are running around searching."

Looking for the martial arts tournament registration area. Heh, seems like I haven't found anything yet.

At this point, the scene shifts to the judges and professors.

An elderly professor sitting at the front stroked his white beard and said, "Reckless! Running around asking questions without understanding the situation will only make you seem suspicious."

Another teacher, wearing glasses and with his arms crossed, said, "Professor Jiang is right. When venturing into another world, the first thing is to understand the information about your own world. What kind of world is it? Then you need to formulate a specific action plan based on the situation in your own world. Acting rashly would be foolish. Look, some of you students are very clever. Instead of leaving your room, you're studying the television. That's a great way to understand another world."

Host Zhang Wu nodded and said, "Indeed. It seems many students made a mistake right from the start. But don't worry, this isn't a point deduction. Two days is enough time for them to readjust their direction. Look, one student has already found the official channel of the other world by changing the TV channels, and he's taking notes—that's the correct approach. Good heavens, another student is even modifying the TV! What is he trying to do?"

Professor Jiang smiled slightly and said, "He wants to connect to the local network using the television. It seems this student is quite the programming expert. Interesting!"

"Yes, those who are quick to find the network and obtain information about this world first are all intelligent test takers. They will gain the upper hand!"

The scene shifted rapidly, suddenly switching to a view of Ningdu.

In addition to the tracking device on each examinee, the monitoring equipment used in this other world is also a tracking device.

There is also the "invisible eye" that will always be with all the test takers.

This item is much more useful than the Eye of Flight; at least it can conceal its location.

"Look, this student is also very clever; he's using the internet to search for information about this world."

After the host finished speaking, he prepared to move the screen of Ningdu away.

But the next moment, the host suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with the computer Ning Du was playing on.

His interface was completely different from the interfaces of other computers in the other world.

And there are two very eye-catching apps.

One-click collection of information about this world completed.

One-click creation of a global identity!

The host quickly brought the camera back to Ning Du, asking in surprise, "What is this candidate doing?"

Professor Jiang suddenly grinned as he looked at it.

"Not bad. This candidate is actually attacking the internet in another world, and he seems to have succeeded! Interesting. Teacher Chen, look, this candidate's fingers have transformed into a USB flash drive. He's a candidate with transformation abilities!"

Upon hearing Professor Jiang's words, the teachers around him sat up straight and stared intently at him.

When they all saw the change in Ning Du's fingers, they smiled broadly and nodded in agreement.

"It's a transformation ability, interesting."

"To be able to break into another world's internet, even transformation abilities require special training and a replication process."

"Now that's what you call coming prepared!"

"If you're not allowed to bring your own things, then study and practice on your own. That's what a good student does!"

"Director, give this candidate special attention, we'll check back on his performance later."

Ning Du had no idea that he had been under the spotlight of the official live stream just because he was playing on the computer.

By this time, he had already figured out his identity in this world.

This time it's not Sherlock Holmes's doing; the entire league is watching. Can't be too flashy!

Let's just stick to calling it Ningdu.

As for his career, Ning Du still has some ideas.

He unabashedly listed his profession as a renowned martial artist, and also claimed to be skilled in medicine, specializing in treating all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases.

As long as the price is right and the medicinal materials are available, he can cure anything.

Ningdu is a family of martial arts pharmacists.

The 38th generation single-lineage disciple of the Medicine King family!

This title is impressive enough, isn't it? Just like last time, now all I do is browse videos online.

They would all see this single disciple, and his achievements were remarkable; he could truly heal the wounded and bring the dead back to life.

When it comes to bragging, the bigger the boast, the better.

In that case, someone will probably come looking for him soon!

As for the main quest, Ning Du even pulled up all the information in this world to check.

First of all, registering for the martial arts tournament is not that simple.

There are no specific registration locations, only martial arts schools scattered throughout the world.

To enroll, you need a recommendation from a martial arts school!

This world is a martial arts world, where almost everyone practices martial arts in order to fight against the monsters hidden among humans.

Martial arts schools are essentially the first round of screening.

Only those who make a name for themselves at the martial arts school will receive a recommendation from the school to participate in the martial arts tournament.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it takes about two days to get a martial arts school recommendation.

You only have one option: challenge them.

You forced a martial arts school to replace the person they recommended with you.

Of course, there are also unethical methods, which depends on individual skills.

The most skilled martial artists in this world are called martial artists.

They possess a power called Qi!

However, their strongest fighters didn't seem very powerful. Ning Du watched some combat videos of martial artists. The strongest one seemed to be only at the Ghost level.

Is this considered a low-level martial arts world?

Are the laws of that world easy to obtain?

Ning Du was still pondering the matter of the laws.

If others knew what he was thinking at this moment, they would be shocked.

That's insane!

You haven't even finished the first round of the main storyline yet, and you're already thinking about how to conquer this world, huh!

Ning Du continued to observe the intelligence of this world, trying to remember as much of the common knowledge about this world as possible.

For example, the place he is currently in is called Wuling Kingdom, Tiannan Province, Zhuilong City.

There are more than ten martial arts schools in the area, and each school has the qualification to make recommendations.

But if you investigate further, you'll find that a large portion of these martial arts schools are actually controlled by a family surnamed Di. This is a century-old martial arts family. The patriarch is 61 years old this year, suffering from a terminal illness, and doesn't have much time left. Recently, there has been a family dispute.

Ning Du looked at the information about this family head. He had fought against the human dragon puppet in his early years and was seriously injured. He had never fully recovered and was now on the verge of collapse.

There is a son and a daughter. The son is honest and kind but incompetent, and his martial arts skills are very poor.

The daughter found a powerful husband, very skilled in martial arts, and very ambitious. She's just waiting for the old man to die so she can take over his place.

Alright, all the intelligence is ready.

Let's start with this family.

Ning Du found the honest son's phone number, then looked up and smiled at a female shop assistant, saying, "Miss, could I borrow your phone to make a call? I accidentally lost my phone."

The female shop assistant looked at Ning Du's handsome face and sunny smile, and immediately nodded.

He took out his cat-shaped phone and handed it to Ning Du.

"Thanks!"

Ning Du dialed the number of his honest son, but the other party did not answer.

I dialed again, but still no answer!

This kid has a pretty strong sense of fraud prevention.

Ning Du grinned and decided to send him a message directly.

"Mr. Di'an, I am the pharmacist Ning Du. I have heard that your father is terminally ill and will not live much longer. I am willing to help. As long as you prepare the necessary medicines, I have a way to extend your father's life by ten years. I swear on this in the name of a martial artist, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it. If you need help, please call me back."

After sending the message, Ning Du waited patiently for the other party to call back.

In this world, the name of a martial artist and the oath of a martial artist are still very solemn.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare disobey; if caught, they'd force you to commit suicide as an apology to the public.

Just watch the videos of those martial artists before their fights and you'll know.

Before the fight, I swear in the name of a martial artist what I had done.

That works!

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

The phone rang, and Ning Du pressed the answer button, waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Hello. Is this Mr. Ning Du from the family of martial arts pharmacists? I am Di An."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Ning Du knew that the other person must have searched for his information online.

It's a pity that those documents were all forged by him.

The main feature is large portions that will satisfy your appetite!

However, the information was fake, but the people and the pharmacist were real.

Ning Du smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Di'an, I suppose you've already investigated me and know I'm not a fraudster. Your father is in dire need of help right now, so prepare the medicine. Then come and pick me up. I'm in Falling Dragon City, at Meow Meow Computer Shop."

"Yes, Mr. Ningdu. I'll send someone to pick you up immediately. What's your fare? —"

"Sigh, let's not talk about money. Between life and death, what's the point of money? Saving lives is my greatest ambition. Just come and get me quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Du returned the phone to the shop assistant.

The female shop assistant looked at Ning Du with a flicker in her eyes.

"My God, you're a martial artist?"

Ning Du replied with a smile, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. Don't let anyone recognize me, that wouldn't be good. By the way, please give me a copy of the latest computer and mobile phone you have here. Someone will pay for them later."

Ning Du still had a bright smile on his face.

The female shop assistant quickly went to get the computer and phone; the martial artist was also there to support her business—how wonderful!

Ning Du continued to browse through the information about this world, a smile curving his lips.

This year's college entrance exam didn't seem too difficult.

If that's all the main quest is like.

He'll get a perfect score!
