Above the mage!

Chapter 138 Harvest Day
The breeding room was originally a warehouse of the Seres School, located in a remote corner of the college.

After Professor Shore rented it for a long period of time, he transformed it into a poisonous insect breeding room.

The entrance and exit to the cultivation room is through a solid hardwood door commonly used in warehouses, and there is also a simple small barrier set up.

A special key needs to be inserted into a recessed slot in the middle of the wooden door to unlock the barrier, and then the hardwood door can be opened.

The entire poisonous insect breeding room is about 100 square meters and is divided into two rooms, one is the "hatching room" and the other is the "breeding room".

The incubation room is carefully arranged and filled with incubation boxes arranged in an orderly manner.

The incubator also has special temperature and humidity adjustments according to the different types of insect eggs, simulating the environment required for the development of poisonous insect eggs.

The walls are inlaid with glowing magic crystal lamps, emitting a soft and even light, which not only meets the lighting conditions required for poisonous insect eggs, but is not too glaring to affect observation.

There was a smell in the air that was not pleasant but not unpleasant either.

This is the "nutrient solution" that Shore made by carefully mixing various materials. Adding it to the incubator can promote better development of poisonous insect eggs.

As for the breeding room, it is much simpler. Three large incubation boxes are arranged according to the needs of the three poisonous insects, and a more concentrated "nutrient solution" is added into them.

"Have you mastered [Toxicity Detection]?" Shaw confirmed.

Godd nodded.

"That's good. You must check the eggs in the hatchery at least once a day using the [Toxicity Detection] function."

"Once toxins are found in insect eggs, it means that the larvae in the eggs have fully developed and will hatch within 1-2 days."

"You need to quickly transfer these eggs that are about to hatch from the hatching room to the three hatching boxes in the cultivation room."

"This is the incubator for the fire-kissed ants, and this is for the hemp scorpion."

Xiao Er explained the details to Gao De in detail. He pointed to the last large incubator and said, "This is the incubator for the Phantom Thorn Centipede. The Phantom Thorn Centipede is a hybrid of the Phantom Centipede and the Thorn Centipede."

"The body surface of a newly hatched healthy fire ant larva should be smooth and flawless, the fiery red lines on its back should be clearly discernible, the color should be uniform and shiny, and its movements should be agile and powerful."

"If there are blurred back lines, dull color, body deformity or slow movement, it means it is a defective product."

"You must take it out of the incubator and dispose of it promptly to avoid any adverse effects on the entire population."

"The characteristics of a healthy juvenile scorpion are as follows. The same is true for centipedes. If you find any defective ones, you must filter them out and dispose of them immediately."

"Finally, let me remind you that their mothers have all been specially cultivated by me, so these young, even if they are defective, contain toxins that should not be underestimated. You must be careful when handling them."

"do you understand?"

"I remember it." Gao De nodded seriously.

"Here, there are a total of 137 fire ant eggs, 89 scorpion eggs, and 43 centipede eggs. Under normal circumstances, it will take about a month and a half for all of them to hatch."

"Finally, if the number of qualified larvae does not reach 50% of the number of eggs, the mission will be considered a failure and you will not get any reward. It is equivalent to working for two months in vain."

"If the number of qualified larvae reaches 5% of the number of eggs, the mission will be accomplished. In addition, I will pay you an extra reward of gold coins for every % increase in the number of qualified larvae." The Potions instructor looked serious and spoke with both kindness and force.

"I will do my best to complete the task with quality and quantity." Gao De said respectfully.

Seeing Godel's attitude, Xiao Er couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

After explaining several details that needed to be paid attention to in order to ensure the survival rate of the insect eggs, he threw the key to the poisonous insect breeding room to Gao De and left in a hurry without looking back.

Potions Master is always very busy.

After watching Shor go away, Goder put away the key and began to wander around the incubator.

Now that I'm here, I might as well finish today's work.

The next moment, Gaode had already cast [Detect Poison] and began to check for any insect eggs that were about to hatch.

Not to mention, after spending nearly half an hour checking a total of 269 insect eggs, Gao De actually found four eggs that had already produced toxins.

Gao De quickly used the [Hand of the Mage] to carefully take out the four insect eggs from the small incubator in the hatchery, and then placed them into the three corresponding large incubators in the breeding room according to their species.

After completing the inspection and confirming that the temperature and humidity of each incubator were within the most suitable range for insect eggs, Gao De closed the door of the poisonous insect breeding room again.

Today's [poisonous insect cultivation] work has been completed.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was already time for dinner. Gao De rushed to the restaurant without stopping.

He became obedient after this meal.

Ordered a civilian set meal of "rye bread + pea soup + a piece of bacon" worth 4 coppers.

After dinner, Gaode returned to Building 30 in Zone .

Almost as soon as he returned to the room, Gao De couldn't wait to go to the kitchen and open the ceramic jars that were fermenting fruit drinks brewed with leak-proof water.

At this time, a whole day had passed since he cast [Water Creation +] yesterday.

Now is the time to verify whether his conjecture is correct.

When Gaode opened the lid of the pottery jar, the familiar strange and light fragrance mixed with a faint fruity scent emanated from the mouth of the pottery jar and drifted into his nose.

Gao De's heart was suddenly filled with uncontrollable joy.

The leak-proof water in the clay jar did not disappear!

After half a day of fermentation, the leak-free water in several pottery jars had undergone a slight change in color, indicating that they had undergone some minor essential changes.

It is this slight change that allows the leak-free water to still exist.

The conjecture is established!

In fact, the loopholes in the water-making technique are not difficult to find.

The biggest reason why it has not been discovered, or should we say, has not been widely known, is that there is no need for it.

The purpose of [water making technique] is to produce drinking water for emergency use.

The purpose of producing drinking water is to drink it.

If the water created by the [Water Creation Technique] is not drunk within a day and it dissipates, no one will care.

Because when needed, you just need to cast [Water Creation] again.

Who would go to the trouble of researching how to preserve the drinking water produced by the [Water Making Technique]?

Neither does Gaode.

He went to great lengths to preserve the "leak-proof water" created by [Water Creation Technique+].

"Let's try it tomorrow and see if the effect of the leak-free water is still there after the fermentation changes." Gao De clenched his fist and said secretly.

If the efficacy can be maintained, there will be nearly 1 gallon of "Water Without Leakage" brand fruit drink left, which can last for nearly a month if you drink it sparingly.

During this one month, he insisted on "daily lottery". If he could draw "leak-free water" again, he could continue.

One has two.

Gaode believes that the "leak-free water" will definitely not come out only once.

As he thought about it, he fished out the fruit pieces from the pottery jar to prevent the fruit drink from further fermenting and allow the leak-free water to produce more possible changes in its effects.

After doing all this, Gaode covered the small pottery jar again and then came to the big pottery jar.

Gao De's mind moved slightly, and his magic power began to flow.

Liquid immediately began to flow out of the empty large clay pot.

This is today’s “First Draw of the Day”.

In just a few seconds, two gallons of liquid appeared in the pot.

Godard sniffed.

A familiar rich, sweet scent wafts over me.

Shit, it’s the “bottom line” again!
For the rest of the evening, Gao De set himself the task of reading through the general books on various fields borrowed from the library.

He must make up for his lack of "common sense" in these areas in the shortest possible time.
