Above the mage!

Chapter 169 Harvest
Medicine Garden No. 11.

Gao De came to the medicinal field that he had claimed.

This medicinal field that he had carefully taken care of had changed a lot since the beginning.

Looking up, you can see a field of lush green medicinal seedlings mixed with yellow and purple flower buds.

The medicine fields specially developed by the academy are controlled by magic arrays and mages, and magic crystals are regularly supplied to nourish the fields, so that every inch of the fields contains extremely rich magic power.

With sufficient magical power, although only a month and a half had passed since the sowing, both the zero-level magic plant calla lily and the first-level magic plant thorn fruit had already grown buds.

The branches of the thorn fruit medicinal seedlings are covered with dense thorns.

The quality of thorn fruit can be predicted by the growth of the thorns on the branches.

Apparently, these thorny fruit magic plants are growing very well under Gaode's careful care.

All thirty calla lily seeds and ten thornberry seeds germinated, and not a single one was dead.

Under this circumstance, getting a full score in the "Magic Plant Cultivation" course is obviously not a big problem.

Gao De nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, sprinkled different amounts of the prepared medicine liquid according to the different varieties and growth of the seedlings.

His heart rejoiced.

He was not happy about the good results he was about to achieve - in fact, whether in his past life or this life, Gao De had become somewhat numb to the idea of ​​achieving good results.

At this moment, a week has passed since he passed the three course assessments with full marks.

At the beginning of the Frozen Moon, Seres College was in turmoil because of his sixteen courses.

At the beginning of the winter solstice month, he caused a small sensation because of his full marks in three subjects.

The attendance rates for these three courses are second to none in the college.

It can be said that more than 90% of the students in the college have taken at least one of these courses and participated in the assessment of one of the courses.

Only when you have experienced it will you understand.

Therefore, almost every student can understand how difficult it is to get full marks in the final examinations of these three courses.

Some people admire, some are shocked, some are jealous. All kinds of emotions can be summed up in five words:

"Is that human being?"

The person who was most calm about this matter was Gao De, the victim himself.

In the world of "academic masters", you often know your grades while you are "answering questions".

Getting full marks in three subjects was a bit unexpected, but it was basically within Gaode’s own prediction range.

So he was very calm after knowing the results.

I have taken three courses, and there are still thirteen courses to go.

The credits accumulated have only reached 15 points, which is still far from catching up with Youlan's starting line.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades need to continue their efforts.

Gaode is still very busy and doesn't have much time to show off, and there is nothing to show off.

This world is, after all, a wizard's world.

Seris College is also a mage college.

Therefore, the mage level is the basis of everything.

With this foundation, other things will have added value.

Gao De saw it very clearly.

Just like the reason why he is happy now is entirely because after these medicinal herbs mature, 20% of the harvest will belong to him.

This is a very reasonable price. After all, for the growth of magic plants, the most important medicinal fields and seeds are all provided by the academy.

All Gaode paid was its own labor and the cost of preparing some culture medium.

And this 20% harvest can be used by oneself or sold to the college.

The harvest of a first-level magic plant is worth about 12-15 gold.

Under the best harvest conditions, the price offered by the Thornberry Academy can reach 15 gold.

Twenty percent is 3 gold.

Ten thorn fruits can bring Gaode 30 gold benefits.

Calla lily is a zero-level magical plant, and the purchase price offered by the academy is only 3 gold, and 12% is silver.

30 calla lilies are worth 360 silver. The two kinds of magic plants together can bring Gaode a total of 48 gold.

It costs about 15 gold to prepare the culture medium. After deducting this expense, the profit is still 33 gold.

It takes two and a half months, which is when the seeds are first sown and germinated, and it is quite busy.

The rest of the time I just kill insects, water and fertilize, and on average it takes less than an hour a day.

Such labor intensity can bring a profit of 2 credits and 33 gold.

Gaode still thinks it is a good deal.

It’s a pity that the college’s medicinal fields belong to the college’s assets. Unless there are special circumstances such as final examinations, they are generally not contracted out to students.

Otherwise, Gao Degaodi would have to be a genuine farmer in Seres College and contract a large area of ​​medicinal fields.

If one can become the head student of the Potions Department, he or she can claim a piece of medicine field from the academy every year as a benefit.

Even though the magic plant's growth requires extremely high magic power and fertility, the planting density is relatively low.

But a medicinal field that meets the academy's standards can also plant about fifty first-level magic plants.

How much money can I earn during this school year?
Goder felt somewhat envious when he thought that Sadie, as the chief student of the Potions Department, was most likely a wealthy person.

Should I take Potions as an elective course next school year?
Subconsciously, Gao De began to ponder.

The winter solstice month passed by in a flash.

Meanwhile, on the 20th, Gao De's apprentice guidance magic practiced after 53 days ushered in another upgrade, and his total magic power officially reached the 12th level of magic.

By the end of the month, the "Magic Plant Cultivation" course also ushered in the final examination.

With 30 well-growing calla lilies and 10 thorn fruit trees, Gao De unsurprisingly obtained another full score, bringing his total credits to 17 points.

The full score of this practical course also refuted the recent assertion that "AutoNavi is only good at theoretical knowledge."

After the assessment and scoring is completed, it is time to harvest the magic plants in the medicine field.

The step of harvesting and collecting is carried out by people sent by the Potions Department.

It is both a way to help and a way to prevent students from keeping part of their harvest.

"You used to be a farmer in the countryside, didn't you?" Sadie, who was sent to inspect the harvest at the edge of the medicinal field, said half-sighing and half-jokingly.

Another month passed, and the fully ripened calla lilies and thorn fruits in the medicinal field hung on the branches, drooping naturally, plump and tempting.

"I just have some interest and talent in planting." Gao De said modestly.

My predecessor worked in the medicine garden for a long time. Although what I planted were not magic plants, but just ordinary herbs, it was still on the same track as magic plant cultivation, and there were many similarities.

In addition, his theoretical knowledge is becoming more and more solid, and he pays great attention to these magic plants, so it is reasonable that he has such a harvest.

"You got full marks in 'Magic Plant Cultivation', although I got full marks in this course at the beginning. But you also got full marks in 'General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials', this is the class of instructor Joseph, even I only got a little over 80 points at the beginning."

"You should join our Potions Department!" Sadie said with emotion.

Although Gao De did have this thought, he finally felt that the rune system was more suitable for him, so he gave up the idea.

Now, facing Sadie's sigh, he just smiled and said, "This is just a branch of potion science. It doesn't mean that I can learn potion science well."

"That's true." Sadie raised her eyebrows. Potions requires a certain talent to learn well.

As the head student of the Potions Department, there was no doubt that she was the one with a certain talent, and she was a little proud of it.

As they were talking, the Alchemy students in charge of the Gaode Medicinal Farm had completed the harvesting and weighing work and reported the final results.

"The total harvest of thorn fruits is 9 pounds and 8 ounces, and you get 2%. I can count 34 pounds as yours. The total harvest of calla lilies is 3 pounds and 7 ounces, so pounds will be counted as yours." Sadie looked at the harvest figures reported by the students and calculated them for Gao De.

She added some small changes to make it an integer, which was considered a small benefit for Gaode.

Although it’s not much, it makes people feel very comfortable.

"According to this year's prices, the purchase price of thorn berries is 15 gold per pound, and the purchase price of calla lilies is 1 gold per pound."

"Are you going to keep your share for yourself, or sell it to the college?"

"Sell it to the academy." Gao De did some calculations in his head and found that the final profit was almost the same as his previous estimate. The extra 3 gold coins were mostly from the money Sadie gave him.

Gode's decision was just as Sadie expected.

She nodded, took out a settlement slip that had already been stamped with the Potions Department's seal, and filled in the specific details and her name on it.

Then she handed it to Gao De and asked him to sign his name on the settlement slip and put his fingerprint on it. Then she took out the purse and counted out 51 gold coins to pay Gao De.
