Chapter 13: Is she better than me?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! After being taught by Pharmacist Li, George's alchemy skills suddenly rose to an advanced level. Such a level was something that many people failed to achieve even after a lifetime of practice. This time I really hit the jackpot! George was overjoyed and secretly proud of his foresight. Even if he could learn alchemy skills from other people in the future, it would definitely not be as good as learning it from Pharmacist Li. "Now that you have learned the art of alchemy, you must practice more in the future and never let it go to waste." Pharmacist Li warned. "Yes, I will." George replied before continuing in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Master, to practice alchemy, there must be enough herbs. I've learned the art of identifying medicines, but... it's difficult to collect herbs without proper tools.” George set his mind on ​​​​the medicine shovel again. He had acquired the alchemy skills, so it was time to do something about the medicine shovel that he long admired. "What you said makes sense." Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "Well, you don't have to return the medicine shovel I gave you before. It was the same shovel I used when I was an apprentice. Although it isn't a magical weapon, it works fine for collecting herbs, so just keep it for your own use.” Understanding! My master is so generous! He read my mind! George was instantly overjoyed, but he did not show it. Instead, he put on a worried look and said to Pharmacist Li, "Master, if you give me the medicine shovel, what will you use in the future? I can't take something you love from you." .” "It's okay, it's just a medicine shovel. Nothing but the tool I used when I was a medicine boy. I have other tools anyway." Pharmacist Li said, taking out another medicine shovel from home. Even at a glance, the medicine shovel looked much more gorgeous than the one in George's hand. George used his appraisal skill on the medicine shovel. Feng Yu Shovel: Gold level, it can greatly increase the success rate and speed of mining herbs and has a probability of getting doubled herbs, strength 3, agility 3, constitution 3, and attack 10. George instantly felt that the medicine shovel in his hand was no longer that nice. "Okay, you can leave first, I'm about to start refining the medicine." Pharmacist Li said to George. George had no choice but to leave. After some thought, he went to the old village chief's home. "It's you, what's the matter?" The old village chief was lying on the deck chair at the door, looking at the sunset leisurely. "Chief, I have a question about the appraisal skill." George said. When he heard the word "appraisal", the old village chief's eyelids visibly twitched a few times, and he stopped rocking the chair. "Explain!" "Here's the thing" George didn't notice anything strange about the old village chief, and continued, "I realised that when I used the appraisal skill on the target, some reacted and some didn't. Why is this?" "Using the appraisal skill was actually equal to attacking the opponent and exuding hostility. If the target's strength is lower than yours, he or she wouldn't feel nothing. But if the target's strength is stronger, then he or she would be able to sense it." Although the village chief was depressed, he was able to help George clear up his doubts. So that's it! George understood how it worked, but then he had new doubts. The colorful evil tiger was stronger than him and could feel that he was using the appraisal skill on it. This was understandable, but why could Batya Liu also feel it? Could it be that she was better than him? Obviously, he couldn't ask the old village chief about these doubts. At this moment, George's vision went dark and he couldn't see anything. When he regained his sight again, he was already in his rental house. The old village chief watched George suddenly disappear, but he didn't show any surprise on his face. He laid back on the recliner again, rocking leisurely, and looked at the sunset with half-squinted eyes. "I'm back? It's about the same time as before, but I don't know if it scared the village chief." George was obviously not prepared to be teleported back. After sleeping for a while, it was already bright, so George got up. Although he didn't sleep much, he was still in good spirits. When putting on his shoes, George hesitated a moment before putting on the pair of Liuyun boots he had just obtained. "It's quite comfortable, and it looks good. But is it too weird to wear a pair of boots like this?" George looked at the boots on his feet and muttered to himself. This kind of boots was nothing in the game space, but if he wore it in real life, it'll look a little unusual. He was sure that people would stare at him if he wears it in the streets. "It would be nice if they could become like sneakers." George thought. Just when George had this thought, the Liuyun boots on his feet suddenly flashed with light, and turned into sports shoes. There wasn't much difference from the common sports shoes in the real world. "It can actually transform?" George was instantly overjoyed. Later, he transformed the Liuyun boots into running shoes, leather shoes, cotton shoes and other styles. Every time he was able to successfully succeed. Moreover, each style looked very trendy and exquisitely designed, making people look at it at a glance. It can be seen that this is definitely not some street stall, but is made by a famous artist. After playing around for a while, George went out with the Liuyun boots on. His destination was still the Jiangzhou University field. There weren't much students in the Jiangzhou University field. It was still the end of August and there were a few days before the start of school. However, George saw the familiar, slim figure, Batya Liu again. She was an attractive presence in this field, as not to mention George, but even the other students' gaze followed after her. "Is she really better than me?" George was still worried about Batya's discovery of his use of appraisal skills. Batya Liu looked like a normal woman. Although she didn't look vulnerable, George didn't believe that she was stronger than him. "Is it related to her hobby of martial arts?" George thought of Batya Liu's information, one of which was her hobby of martial arts. George didn't pay much attention to this at the time, but now it seemed that it may be more than just a hobby. Otherwise, she wouldn't have discovered that he was secretly using the appraisal skill. The two of them didn't interact today. In fact, according to George's observation, Batya Liu usually ran in the field without talking to other people. It was an unbelievable first time when she was took the initiative to talk to him the day before.
