Chapter 499: Drug Tasting Rules
Long Lin and A Jin suddenly stood up in anger, and the overflowing low pressure scared everyone on the entire floor so much that they dared not breathe.
It seemed that there was a foreign object in Duoduo's eye, and Pibor kindly helped her check it out. This scene was seen by Longlin and Ajin.
They both believed that the man was deliberately flirting with Duoduo, and they were so angry that they wanted to rush over and beat him up.
Long Lin asked in a cold tone: "Do you know who that man is?"
Feng Li and Qin Ling tried hard to open their eyes wide, but the distance was too far. They couldn't recognize who was standing next to Duoduo, and could only shake their heads and say they didn't know.
Fortunately, it only took a moment for Duoduo and Pibor to separate, and the low pressure on Longlin and Ajin was relieved, but it could still be felt that they were in a bad mood.
The second test was held in another large shed at the venue. Nearly half of the contestants were eliminated in the first round, and the number of people on site had been reduced a lot.
However, the organizers are still very dissatisfied and want to eliminate as many places as possible. It would be best if the number could be reduced to a dozen or twenty so that they can afford to give away the herbs.
As mentioned before, in each drug tasting session, some uncommon herbs appear. Contestants must tell its name and medicinal properties, and find matching patients to cooperate in drug testing in order to verify whether the effect is true.
To put it simply, the organizers use this event to collect never-before-seen herbs and use rewards as an inducement to attract pharmacists from all over the world to identify them.
The world is so big and there are so many medicinal herbs. Not all of them can be recognized by the association.
Only by gathering pharmacists from all over the world can we pool our wisdom and present those undiscovered herbs to everyone.
No matter whether the name of the medicine they said is right or wrong, as long as the efficacy is consistent with reality, the name of the medicine will be the name said by that person.
It is equivalent to that the person who correctly answers the characteristics and efficacy of the herb has the right to name that herb.
As mentioned before, herbs that are filled with demonic energy are called demonic herbs.
There are many herbs in the drug testing that are filled with demonic energy, but no one knows their effects, and they are not recorded in the association's list of known herbs.
After this test is completed and the efficacy of these magic herbs has been verified, these magic herbs will have names and be recorded in the archives of the Pharmacists Association.
The organizer is actually the Pharmacists Association, and every pharmacopoeia event is held at the branch venue of the Pharmacists Association.
This will not only boost local economic development, but also cultivate capable pharmacists to organize activities and select good seedlings from the contestants for training. This is the original intention of holding the Pharmacopoeia Event.
But later on the nature of the event gradually changed, and evolved into the current newly added activities such as auctions and herb exchange.
Commercialization is more important than selecting good seedlings. Perhaps everyone has forgotten the original intention of holding the Pharmacopoeia Conference.
The staff at the test venue are all association members or elders who were transferred from various places to help. Occasionally, they will select new potential members for their own branches from among the contestants.
This was also the reason why Duoduo was scrambled for by several old men just now.
Now those old men still haven't given up. They followed Duoduo to the second test venue, staring at him eagerly, looking like an abandoned puppy.
Of course Duoduo felt several burning gazes behind her, but she decisively pretended not to notice.
Seeing that Duoduo refused to look back at them, the old men's eyes became even more resentful.
The second test was mainly a quick-answer test, and the first 20 people who answered the question would directly advance to the finals.
The content of the test is definitely medicine tasting. This test revolves around medicinal herbs from beginning to end, otherwise it would not be called a medicine tasting test.
The herbs used for testing this time are all gold or platinum grade herbs. The pharmacists present may be able to answer the questions, but their answering speed may not be fast and accurate.
The properties and functions of medicinal herbs are generally identified by their taste, the environment in which they grow, their appearance, their smell, etc.
Like Duoduo did in the first test just now, there are basically few pharmacists who can identify the name of a medicine based on its appearance alone.
This test mainly involves quick response, which is very beneficial for Duoduo.
In order not to attract attention, Duoduo was not the first to answer. Even if she could tell at a glance what the herbs on the table were, she would not answer as quickly as she did just now.
Being robbed by a few old men just now has left Duoduo with a psychological trauma. She must not be so pushy anymore. If a few more old men come to bother her, it will be very troublesome.
Anyway, there were about twenty spots available, so when the twelfth herb was displayed, she calmly reached out to answer the question, and of course she passed.
Several old men, led by Bolivi, who were watching the game nearby, were more nervous than Duoduo himself.
Since Duoduo didn't raise his hand, they were all scratching their heads anxiously, and they all agreed that Duoduo did it on purpose.
Although he disagreed with Duoduo's approach on the surface, he secretly praised Duoduo's cleverness in his heart. This way, he would not be afraid of more branches competing with him for people.
Pibor ranked relatively high, and the third and fourth place winners successfully answered the questions.
Several female pharmacists who were in the candidate area just now were eliminated in the first round and are now watching the game from the sidelines.
When they saw Duoduo advance, they started cursing, thinking that Duoduo was just lucky.
But when Duoduo raised his hand and answered the question successfully, they all stared in disbelief with their eyes wide open, as if they had been slapped in the face. The ridicule they had heard from the candidates in the candidate area just now was still fresh in their minds.
They were too embarrassed to stay any longer, but wanted to see what happened next, so they hid behind the crowd and watched the game from the gaps.
Of the hundreds of pharmacists, only twenty people including Duoduo were left in the end, and the final drug tasting test was also conducted on the high platform in this greenhouse.
Now is the time for the organizers to prepare the herbs, and the twenty contestants stay in the candidate area, waiting for the test to begin.
Duoduo was more familiar with Pibor, and they stood together. Other familiar pharmacists also gathered together, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Especially the first contestant who answered the question, there were six or seven people gathered around him, all flattering the first place winner.
Pibor knew Duoduo's strength and asked in confusion: "You could have advanced to the next round as the first place, why didn't you answer the question just now?"
"I would be a fool to do that. Have you forgotten how you rescued me from your master just now? Now that I'm in that state, do you think I would want to be number one?
Rankings are all fake. My purpose in coming here is just to find some precious and rare herbs. The ranking is not important to me."
Pibor admired Duoduo's courage. He didn't say anything else and waited quietly with Duoduo for the test to begin.
The order of the drug testing finals is randomly drawn. Each of them wears a number plate on their chest, which is distributed according to their qualifying ranking. The host draws numbered balls from a box.
You can go to the platform for testing with the number plate corresponding to the number on the number ball.
Onlookers are not allowed to give any hints or make loud noises that may disturb the contestants. Contestants can only turn their backs to the audience.
If any audience member is found deliberately breaking the rules, he or she will be asked to leave the audience.
If any foreign aid is found to be helping with cheating, once verified, the contestant will be disqualified on the spot.
If someone deliberately reminds a contestant about the content of the test, the contestant will not be disqualified immediately.
After investigation, if it is found that the person is deliberately doing bad things, then this person will be put on the blacklist of the Pharmacists Association and will never be able to buy any medicines under the Pharmacists Association.
There is a kind of magic in this world that can make people reveal their true feelings. As long as this magic is used for interrogation, the bad guys will not be able to lie at all.
The above regulations only apply to cheaters. Basically no one will do bad things in public. No one wants to be kicked out and put on the blacklist of the Pharmacists Association.
The herbs are matched randomly, and whether they are precious or not depends on personal luck. If the contestant correctly says the function and properties of the herb, he can name the herb after what he said.
As mentioned before, all the herbs on the field are nameless herbs, which means they are herbs that are not recorded in the inventory of the Pharmacist Association.
The nameless grass could be just a useless weed, or it could be a miracle drug. The two are very polarized, so it is said that it all depends on personal luck.
After all, the reward for answering correctly is to get this herb. No one wants to work in vain and end up with only a useless herb.
After hearing the rules, Duoduo fell silent. This was completely different from what she had heard, or perhaps Long Lin and A Jin did not fully understand the rules of the medicine tasting test at the time.
Duoduo thought that all the herbs on the field were rare and expensive medicines, but now she was told that it all depended on luck. No wonder the order of appearing on the field had to be chosen by lottery.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If even the Pharmacist Association doesn't know about the herb, how can they evaluate whether it is rare and valuable?
Duoduo's enthusiasm for this test instantly dropped to the bottom, and he looked at the herbs that appeared on the field with a bit of dejection.
The first contestant has walked onto the stage and started tasting the medicine.
During the whole process of tasting the herb, you can smell, touch and taste it. Tasting here means picking a small part of the herb to taste its flavor.
This actually has certain risks. Who knows if this medicine is poisonous? After all, it is an unknown herb.
Duoduo only took one look at the herb and knew what it was.
It was just an ordinary herb that invigorated the blood circulation. Seeing this, she felt even less motivated.
Everyone in the Pharmacists Association was eagerly awaiting the answer. They all hoped that this test would not only add new herbs to the record, but also help select outstanding pharmacists for use by the association.
There are some herbs on the field that can be tasted by people in the Pharmacist Association, but there are some herbs that they cannot taste, so they can only hope on the pharmacists participating in this competition.
