Above the mage!

Chapter 134: Loopholes in the Water-making Technique
After Jelica returned the tin kettle to God, the two parted ways.

Although she thought the "leak-free water" given by Gode tasted good, Jelica didn't take it too seriously.

However, after returning to the room, just a few minutes later, Jelica suddenly discovered:

I clearly haven't taken the strength recovery potion yet, but my strength has inexplicably recovered a lot.

Not just physical strength.
A new energy is flowing out of my body.

Exhausted from mining, Jelica was nourished at this moment, as if a long drought had finally ended.
How is this going?

Inside the room, Gao Degang opened "Some Conjectures on the Awakening of Expertise".

"well known"

The sudden ringing of the doorbell drew his attention away.

Godard opened the door with doubt, only to find that the person who came to visit was Jelica, whom he had just parted with.

"Ms. Jelica, is there something wrong?"

"What was the drink you just gave me? Do you have any more? Or where can I buy some? I want to buy some." Jelica asked, looking at Gode with burning eyes.

After drinking the "Water of No Leakage", the feeling of physical and mental fatigue being dispelled left a deep impression on Jerica.

Therefore, she couldn't even wait for a moment and immediately came to buy the "leak-free water".

This is because I feel the magical effect of "leak-free water". I want to buy some for backup. I want to sell it, but I can't. Here, Gao De's thoughts turned around in an instant.

"This is something I brewed myself according to a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. The ingredients are precious, and the process is complicated and time-consuming, so I don't make much."

"There's still some left. If you want, I can give you some more," he said.

"However," Godard laid the groundwork in advance, "they cannot be preserved in the usual way. Once they are made, they will evaporate within a day. You'd better drink them now."

Hearing this, Jelica nodded in understanding.

Something so special should be precious and rare.

"Please wait a moment." After saying this, Gaode walked into the building quickly, took out the tin kettle he had used before, and filled it with about half a pint of "leak-proof water".

This amount will be gone in just a few sips, so it won't be delayed until the time limit of [Water Making Technique +] expires in the evening, causing the remaining "Leak-proof Water" to disappear out of thin air.

Otherwise, even if he had laid the groundwork in advance, this phenomenon would still be very suspicious.

Handing the tin kettle to Jelica, Godard could clearly see Jelica's eyes lighting up.

"Its taste is really special, just like a fruit drink, but it's better than any fruit drink I've ever had, not to mention its magical uses." Jelica couldn't help but praise the "Leak-proof Water" again.

She took out her purse and prepared to take out the money.

Gao De quickly waved his hands and said generously: "No, no, I'm just giving this to you. How can I have the nerve to charge you for it?"

Jelica's upbringing made her never willing to accept things from others for free.

Generally speaking, if someone is unwilling to accept her money, she would rather not have the thing.
But this time, she hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take back the purse, and said softly: "Thank you."

After seeing Jelica off again, Godard closed the door, and walked slowly up the stairs, but suddenly stopped.

"Fruit drink." He thought of Jelica's description of "leak-proof water" just now.

It was this description that suddenly opened Gaode's mind at this moment.

"If the water is not consumed, it will disappear after one day."

This is the limitation of the 0th level spell [Water Creation].

Before this, Gao De had always subconsciously understood it as: if the water created by the water-making technique was not drunk within one day, it would naturally disappear.

Now think about it carefully, maybe we shouldn’t simply and crudely understand “consumption” as “drinking”?
For example, if water is added to flour and kneaded into dough, but the water is not drunk, is it considered consumed? Most likely, it is.

It's impossible that the originally moist bread would lose its moisture and turn back into dry flour after one day, right?
If we think in this way, there should actually be some way to preserve the "leak-proof water" created by [Water Creation +] and avoid the 1-day deadline?

For example, brewing fruit drinks?
The raw materials for making fruit drinks are fruit and water.

Fruit is mixed with water, fermented, and flavored to make fruit drink.

Isn't it the same as "consuming" the liquid obtained from [Water Making Technique+] to brew fruit drinks?

Isn't this another strange way to circumvent the limitation that liquids created by [Water Creation Technique] can only be preserved for one day at most?

Once the idea came into his mind, Gaode could no longer sit still.

——If you don’t hurry up, the “Water without Leakage” will expire.

He immediately took the key and left the room again.

Young people tend to do things in a rush.

He first went to the college's trading area and bought several kinds of seasonal fresh fruits and some yeast for brewing fruit drinks.

I also bought several exquisite small pottery jars.

It only costs 7 silver coins in total.

The prices in the college are quite reasonable.

After purchasing the necessary materials, Gao De hurried back to Building 30 in Area 1.

He first opened the large clay jar containing leak-proof water and took a look.

There were a total of two gallons (about 9.6 liters) of "leak-proof water", but because he was afraid of wasting it and drank it all in one gulp, there is now only about one gallon left.

Gao De was a little amused.

But 1 gallon is still a lot.

Not daring to waste any more time, Gao De immediately took action.

He washed several kinds of fresh seasonal fruits he bought, peeled and cored them, then chopped them up and put them into several ceramic jars.

Then, Gode poured the remaining gallon of leak-proof water evenly into the ceramic jars containing the different fruit pieces.

Add appropriate amount of yeast and mix well.

Under normal circumstances, brewing fruit drinks also requires adding seasonings such as honey and sugar to adjust the flavor of the fruit drinks.

But Gaode didn’t add anything except fruits.

First, the flavor of Wulou Water itself is special enough, without any need to add anything extra.

Secondly, he was worried about adding too many seasonings. Although the "leak-free water" was indeed preserved, its efficacy was also changed.

There is no doubt that when brewing fruit drinks with leak-free water, the fewer seasonings are added, the greater the possibility of retaining the "leak-free water" while maintaining its efficacy.

This is why Gaode uses a variety of different fruits.

He wasn't sure that the added fruit wouldn't change the effectiveness of the "leak-free water".

If we make a few different sets of “fruit drinks”, there will always be a kind of fruit that has the least impact on the efficacy of “water without leakage”, right?

After doing all this, Gao De closed the lid of the pottery jar, leaving a small gap, and waited for them to ferment.

"Let's check again in the evening. If the liquid in the pottery jar is still there and has not disappeared, it means my idea is correct."
