Above the mage!

Chapter 162 King of Volume
When Jelica opened the door and saw Goder standing at the door, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

It has been nearly three months since she started school, and this is the first time Gao De has visited her.

She had some understanding of Gao De's situation and knew that as soon as Gao De became a formal student, he took eight courses in one go and was studying hard.

Jelica was secretly surprised by this.

She originally just wanted to randomly choose one or two courses, get through the easiest first year, and then focus most of her energy on becoming a first-level wizard.

But after knowing how hard God worked, Jelica felt embarrassed to just lie down, and after some hesitation, she finally chose four courses.

Although she chose the four courses voluntarily, Jelica always felt that she was forced to work hard. It was a very strange feeling, and she couldn't explain it.

If Gao De knew what Jelica was thinking, he would definitely be considerate enough to help her describe this feeling.

This is called: volume.

"God, do you have something to talk to me about?" Jelica asked.

Gao De was relieved to see Jelica. After all, the students in the academy were all busy with their own things and had little time to stay at home. He was afraid of making a wasted trip.

"Jelica, do you still need the fruit drink from last time? I brewed some more and added some precious ingredients. Now they won't evaporate in a short time and can be preserved for a long time." Gao De said straight to the point.

As for the so-called "precious materials", they are actually seasonal fruits.

Gaode's statement can not only further enhance the value of fruit drinks, but also fill in the gap of the previous "volatile" statement.

"The fruit drink from last time?" Jelica rolled her eyes and invited him, "Come in and talk. Don't stand at the door."

When Godard saw that Jelica did not refuse and even invited him into the house to discuss in detail, he knew that the matter was most likely going to be done.

After sitting down on a chair in the hall of the room, Jelica's expression became formal, switching to the "business-oriented" mode.

"How much fruit drink can you provide this time? It won't be just a small pot like last time? Can you provide it for a long time?" she asked successively.

Goddard shook his head and answered in turn: "I made a little more this time, about 14 pints."

"But we can't provide it for a long time. First, the process of brewing this fruit drink is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time."

"I can't waste too much time on this. There are many more important things in the academy that are worth spending time on."

"Another thing is that brewing this kind of fruit drink requires several special materials that are not available outside, and I don't have a lot of these special materials."

"That's it." Jelica's mind raced, and she added, "Fortunately, 14 pints is a bit, enough for me to drink for a while. If your ancestral formula could be mass-produced, you would definitely make a lot of money. It's a pity."

"Anyway, I want all 14 pints of fruit drinks. If there's more produced after this, just come to me. I'll buy them in unlimited quantities." Jelica said with a smile.

"14 pints. How about I round it up to 150 gold?"

The "temperament" of a rich girl is clearly revealed in just two sentences.

After hearing this, Gao De nodded and agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"I'll bring you the fruit drink later," Gao De said happily, "By the way, the name of this fruit drink is Wu Leak Fruit Drink."

He temporarily gave a name to the fruit drink he brewed with the water without leakage.

"Leak-free Fruit Drink." Jielika nodded, indicating that she had remembered it. "Then wait a moment. I will settle the payment for you first."

Go back to dorms.

Gaode put the newly received 150 gold together with his original deposit.

A total of 213 Sean gold coins sparkled with an alluring golden glow, and the little rooster engraved on the surface of the coins was even more spirited.

Gao De caressed the two hundred gold coins lovingly. Soon, a large part of them would no longer belong to him.

When he thought of this, he felt a little pain.

When Gao De thought about the leak-free fruit drink that he had transferred to Jelika, he felt even more pained.

But it was all worth it. After receiving the 150 gold, Gaode no longer had to worry too much about expenses at least in the first academic year.

Taking all his savings, Gao De left the first district and came to the course selection counter of the committee.

"Choose your courses." Gao De handed his ID badge to an elderly staff member wearing a robe.

"What courses do you want to take?" The old man was already very familiar with the work process. He took Gao De's identity badge without even looking up, and swiped it on the alchemy machine next to him to confirm the information.

Then, he lowered his head and took out the course schedule, preparing to take notes based on the courses Gaode had registered.

"Magic Ink Extraction and Production." said Gao De.

This is a branch course under "Runes".

There are two necessary tools for drawing runes: the rune pen and the magic ink. Making rune pens is the job of alchemy, and Gaode has no interest in getting involved.

Among the three great families, Godard is very interested in "Syromancy" and "Alchemy", but he really has no idea about "Alchemy".

Don't associate with a crude blacksmith!
As for magic ink, it is usually made by the rune master himself, which is considered a basic skill of the rune master, just like a chef must be proficient in "buying vegetables".

"Okay, I'll register you." The old man took out the ID card and prepared to return it to Gao De.

"There's more." Gao De quickly stopped him.

"Anything else?" The old scholar who had been working at the course selection counter for decades frowned.

In the alchemy machine, he could see that Gao De was already taking eight courses, which had not yet been completed.

If you choose two more courses, that will be ten courses. Can you complete them all?
Although he knew in his heart that Gao De would come to take additional elective courses under such circumstances, he must have more than enough time to learn.

But the idea of ​​a freshman taking ten courses at the same time still seems a bit exaggerated to the old scholars.

He has been doing course selection work for so many years, and to be honest, he has only met a few people like him.

"Merchant Group Management and Trade Practice." This is a branch course under the basic cultural course. Any mage who plans to work in a merchant group in the future will choose this cultural course.

"it is good"

Before the old scholar finished speaking, Goder spoke again: "History of Races."

This is still a branch course under the basic cultural courses.

"Ah?" The old scholar subconsciously made a sound of surprise.

"'Earth Vein Biology Research', 'Magic Engineering', 'Magic Medicine', 'Pharmacology Research', 'Magic Pet Training'." Here, Gao De had already signed up for all the courses he had selected in advance.

These courses cover a wide range of areas.

Racial history mainly studies the various native races and their history in the currently known wizard plane, and is a branch course under the basic cultural course.

As the name suggests, geo-vein biology research is a course that specializes in the study of geo-vein biology, including the structure, extraordinary abilities, characteristics, ancestry, etc. of geo-vein biology.

Magical Engineering mainly studies the knowledge and technology of surveying, designing, building, and maintaining various types of projects through magic.

Magical medicine is the study of treating various diseases through magic.

Pharmacological research is to understand the various medicinal properties and the changes that will occur when the medicinal properties are combined with each other.

This course is a branch of Alchemy and one of the required courses in Alchemy. In addition, completing this course will also help to deduce and verify prescriptions.

Godard still had the idea of ​​completing the recipe of the spiritual potion when he had the chance, so he chose to take this course even though he did not choose Alchemy.

As for why I didn't choose Alchemy, the reason is very simple: studying Alchemy requires spending a lot of money to buy raw materials for preparing potions.

He can't afford it now.

In fact, if He Xi hadn't been providing him with free magic ink and magic paper, the cost of the consumables for studying runes alone would have made Gao De's already poor financial situation even worse.

Magic Pet Cultivation is a course that studies the characteristics and laws of magic pets' life activities, such as species composition, morphological structure, living habits, reproduction, and historical development.
There are 8 courses in total. After completing all of them, Gaode can get a full 12 credits, which is just enough to offset the credit suppression brought by Yulan's initial level as a 1st-ring mage.

After Gao De finished reading out the course names like reading out the names of dishes, the old scholar, who had been flipping through the class schedule, finally raised his head, his eyes wide open, staring straight at Gao De.

"Any questions?" Godard asked.

"You want to take eight more courses?" He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, or if there was something wrong with the young man in front of him?

This is not ordering food, this is choosing courses!
Besides, even if you order food, if one person orders eight dishes at a time, he or she might die of bloating.

"No way?" Gao De had never heard of a limit on the number of courses one could choose.

"no problem"

"That's good. Here's the course fee." Goder took out his purse with a heartache, poured out 120 Sean gold coins, and pushed it over.

The staff member hadn't figured it out yet, and he just mechanically collected the "tuition" submitted by Gaode like muscle memory, completed the registration, and then returned the identity badge to Gaode.

During the whole process, he seemed to be in a trance.

It wasn't until Gaode left that he came to his senses.

"Eight plus eight, take sixteen courses at the same time." The old man muttered.

Not only has he never seen such a student in his entire career, but I think there have been few such students in the entire history of the academy, right?
What kind of student is this?
