Chapter 30

The call with Parma let Gu Ding know that the popularity of his medicine refining video had exceeded his imagination. Not only had Modico seen it, but many of the higher-ups of Hermean Alliance had also seen it. In addition to Modico wanting to meet him, the higher-ups of Hermean Alliance also seemed to want to invite him to participate in some competition.

After informing Parma that he would arrive at Fengyuan in about ten days and confirming the location where he would meet Modico, Gu Ding hung up the call.

"I've looked into the newcomer ranking competition." Neptune also knew that Hermean Alliance wanted Gu Ding to participate. "The so-called newcomer refers to those who have been pharmacologists for less than three years. Sa Ze has only debuted for less than a year, so his challenges have always been successful. In fact, there are three newcomers in the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation who have similar talents as him. All three of them have been pharmacologists for more than two years, and two of them have become B-level pharmacologists while the other one has become an A-level pharmacologist. That's why when Sa Ze challenged their star sector, they did not make a move. "

"In that case, there's no comparison at all. A-level pharmacologists only need to refine a bottle of perfect quality A-level medicine, and everyone else will just be spectators. "Gu Ding did not expect that there would be an A-level pharmacologist in the newcomer ranking competition.

"The rules of the competition are not like this. Generally, it is stipulated that all participants will uniformly refine the same E-level medicine. Within the specified time, the more refined and the higher the quality, the higher the ranking, "Neptune explained.

"E-level medicine?" Gu Ding was stunned again. "F-level pharmacologists can't participate in the competition?"

"In theory, all newcomer pharmacologists in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation can participate in the ranking competition. They can do so in their own name or in the name of their star sector. However, those who can't refine E-level medicine will be directly eliminated in the first round. " Neptune also studied the rules of the competition. Combined with records and video data over the years, he could see some restrictions contained in these competition regulations.

"There are too many F-level pharmacologists. It's understandable that there are such restrictions." Gu Ding roughly understood the organizers' thinking. The number of F-level pharmacologists might be more than the number of pharmacologists of all other grades combined. If they directly participated in the competition, it might cause all kinds of chaos due to the large number of people. Therefore, eliminating F-level pharmacologists in the first round was a kind of protection for the subsequent events.

Moreover, this ranking competition itself was aimed at newcomers. The purpose was to find some more talented pharmacologists from the newcomers and let some senior pharmacologists who had no disciples choose to cultivate them, so that the entire pharmacology industry could prosper. Everyone was eligible to participate in the assessment for three consecutive years. As for those who had not been promoted to E-level pharmacologists after three years of hard work, one could only say that they had no talent in pharmacology.

"What are the rewards for the newcomer ranking competition?" Gu Ding still cared more about the competition.

His father had once taught him that only things that he could get his hands on were good things. Gu Ding had always kept that in mind.

"The individual rewards are rather limited. Most of them are distributed to the Star Field that the contestants are from. If the participant doesn't represent any Star Field, the reward for the Star Field will be reserved by the organizer. "

"The top one hundred contestants can choose any bottle of medicine refined by the contestants. The Hermean Alliance will refine the same medicine and send it to the top one hundred contestants. In, he Su and also gets a to get to the "Wu Ding".

"The top ten contestants can choose three bottles of medicine from the medicine refined by the contestants. Hermean Alliance will also send them the real thing. You'll also receive a set of A-Grade refining equipment and the privilege of obtaining 100 million Star Credits worth of medicinal materials from the Hermean Alliance for free for a year. "

"The top three will be able to choose five bottles of medicine refined by the contestants and receive a set of Grade-A refining equipment, as well as the privilege of obtaining medicine materials worth 500 million Star Credits from the Hermean Alliance for free for a year. There's also a chance that you'll be chosen by an S-rank pharmaceutics grandmaster and become his last disciple. "

"As for the champion, he or she will be able to choose ten bottles of medicine refined by the contestants, receive a set of quasi-S-grade refining equipment, and have the privilege of obtaining medicine materials worth one billion Star Credits from the Hermean Alliance for free for a year. You will also get a chance to meet and talk with an S-rank pharmacist. "

"Of course, these rewards don't stack."

Gu Ding was a little shocked when he heard the rewards. He could not help but exclaim, "Hermean Alliance is really rich!"

Excluding the value of the medicine, a set of B-grade refining equipment was worth about 100 million Star Credits. A set of A-grade refining equipment was generally worth 1 to 1.2 billion. As for quasi-S-grade refining equipment, there was basically no supply on the market. It was generally worth about 2.5 billion Star Credits, but there were very few of them. On top of that, one could obtain medicine materials worth up to 100 million Star Credits for free for a year. From medicine materials to finished medicine, there was at least a ten-fold increase. If the medicine was refined to perfect quality, the value would increase by at least a hundred times.

For example, when Gu Ding refined F-grade Cell Enhancer previously, one set of materials only cost more than a hundred Star Credits. However, if the medicine was refined to perfect quality, the market price would be twenty-five thousand Star Credits per set, which was more than a two-hundred-fold increase. One could imagine how rich Hermean Alliance had been in existence for so many years.

As for being chosen by an S-rank pharmaceutics grandmaster and becoming his last disciple, Gu Ding really did not particularly care. There were only three S-rank pharmaceutics grandmasters in the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. They were all busy people, and they had hundreds of disciples. Even if he really became their disciple, he would probably only see them a few times a year. On the other hand, a top-notch A-rank pharmacologist like Modico was sincere in accepting disciples. Moreover, according to Parma, Modico was quite a good person, and his standards were very high. If Gu Ding felt that the two of them could get along, he planned to become Parma's junior brother. There was no need for him to learn from another master.

"Other than the Newcomer Ranking Competition, Hermean Alliance should have other exchange programs, right?" Gu Ding wanted to know if he could participate in other exchange programs other than the Newcomer Ranking Competition. If the rewards of the Newcomer Ranking Competition were so generous, then the rewards of the other competitions would definitely not be bad.

"There's also a competition called 'One Dose Every Ten Years'. Participants must have been pharmacologists for more than three years and less than ten years, and they can't be over thirty years old. They must be at least a C-rank pharmacologist. The rewards of this competition are more than ten times better than the Newcomer Ranking Competition, "Neptune continued. "There's also a competition of the highest level. It's the ultimate competition between A-rank pharmacologists from various star sectors. It's broadcasted live in the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. The value of each prize is calculated in the hundreds of billions of Star Credits. Unfortunately, you're not qualified to participate. "

"Actually, you didn't have to add that last sentence …" Gu Ding was speechless at Neptune's last sentence.

"After saying so much, do you want to participate in the Newcomer Ranking Competition or not? Actually, the rewards from Hermean Alliance's headquarters are only part of it. If you achieve good results, the Skyriver Sector branch will definitely give you more benefits, "Neptune reminded him.

"Of course I want to participate! My dad said that only fools don't take the money! " Gu Ding grinned. "Contact Medicine King Valley. I'll talk to the people from Hermean Alliance's Skyriver Sector."
