My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Experienced in completing orders!

Wahaha~

Xia Zuo was secretly pleased. He calmly chatted with Beatrice about other things, then picked up the two booklets and got up to say goodbye.

After arriving at the Great Alchemy Chamber, he sat down in a chair next to the storage table and flipped through the points redemption manual.

The first few pages of this manual are blank, and the paper is made of a special material that cannot be written on with common pens or pencils.

A line of small print at the bottom of the blank sheet of paper reads:

[This is a special page for recording points; unauthorized modification or erasure of the contents of this page is prohibited.]

Xia Zuo flipped through the blank papers and went straight to the catalog of redeemable items.

A wide variety of items are available for redemption.

Currencies such as silver dollars and gold coins, which circulate outside the university, can also be redeemed with points.

One point can be exchanged for one silver coin, and 100 points can be exchanged for one gold coin.

It is worth mentioning that.

The order on the poison-making list that is the easiest and requires the least amount of poison can be completed in about 2 days, and you will be rewarded with 30 points upon completion.

On average, you get 15 points a day, which is equivalent to 15 silver dollars.

As far as Xia Zuo knew, Anru helped Professor Zhuolang refine oils, earning an average of about 2 silver dollars a day.

His salary instantly became seven times that of his girlfriend!

However, exchanging points for silver dollars is not a very worthwhile thing to do.

Points have even greater uses.

It can be exchanged for spell scrolls that infuse magic, small untamed elements with specific traits, and it can also enter the mentor's archives to read books.

Even enchanted items like the Cyclone Brooch can be redeemed with points.

Xia Zuo did not forget his goal.

Master-level Element Bottle, 25000 points.

This seemingly distant number now has a clear path to be obtained.

He carefully put away the exchange booklet and opened the list of drugs to be refined.

To gain experience and points more efficiently, you need to carefully study the timing of each order.

Some complex toxins require a much longer time to be refined, far exceeding 30 days.

These orders can be prioritized.

Xia Zuo took out his notebook and wrote down the order requirements one by one.

About an hour later, he closed the notebook, put on the leather robe for making poison, and began to make poison.

...

noon.

In a secluded corner of the restaurant, Xia Zuo accompanied An Ru'er to lunch.

After a morning of encouragement, Anruer found her future goals.

In addition, her boyfriend didn't have to leave the academy for long periods of time, leaving her alone to study alchemy at the academy.

Her face was beaming with joy, her eyes brimming with happiness.

With a smile, Anru brought her boyfriend a drink, laid out a napkin for the meal, and ladled out the soup from the pot.

Xia Zuo accepted the other party's service with a clear conscience.

But they didn't forget to reciprocate.

A glass of freshly squeezed juice, a bowl of steaming hot seafood soup, and a generous spoonful of the other person's favorite squid.

Xia Zuo placed the food in front of An Ru'er, cupped her face in his hands, and said, "Go for it, darling. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was sealed by warm lips.

Chapter 15 First Outing

Life in the ivory tower is peaceful and orderly, with days flowing by quickly in a regular schedule.

Two years have passed since I took on the drug order. (Note ①)

It was Sunday, and before dawn, the morning mist was thick, with a small half-moon hanging low in the sky.

Inside a luxurious hotel in Starry Night City.

Xia Zuo opened his eyes and woke up, turning to gaze at the person beside him, gently stroking An Ru'er's hair and admiring her gradually plumping and beautiful figure.

Feeling her lover's gentle caress, Anru snuggled closer to him, mumbling indistinctly, "Mmm... let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired..."

Xiazuomosuo Anru'er stared blankly at the exquisite patterns on the ceiling.

The Poison Alchemist identity provides a boost, ensuring a stable leveling speed.

After the drug refining schedule was properly arranged, the drug refining orders were completed smoothly, and the points accumulated rapidly.

The problem is that the basic toxins required for certain toxic agents are being consumed very quickly, but the rate at which inventory is being replenished is clearly not keeping up, causing some orders to have to be temporarily put on hold.

Fortunately, the supply problem of basic toxins only affected a small number of orders, and the vast majority of orders were not constrained by the shortage of raw materials.

For the past two years, Xia Zuo has been staying at the academy refining poisons to fulfill orders and developing new poisons. He has not had time to incorporate elements, so his magical power has not improved much.

Although a refined powder formula for interfering with the poison was developed, there has been no time or energy to actually refine it.

In exchange for this, they gained thousands of points and a large number of free attribute points.

As for the progress of research on elemental toxins, it can only be described as very slow.

All toxin identification methods can only provide very vague results for elemental toxins.

It's as if someone has put a thick protective shell over the elemental toxins, making it impossible for the investigators to accurately identify the true toxic effects.

Therefore, after Xia Zuo focused his work on gaining experience and earning points, he made little progress in poison alchemy.

Anruer, on the other hand, has made considerable progress.

She has completed the introductory course in functional pharmacology and is about to advance to the proficient level.

In about six months, once she has mastered the advanced level of potion-making, she will be able to learn the next subject, alchemy.

Their relationship progressed further, eventually leading to in-depth conversations.

The Castle Rules do not state that students must stay on campus on weekends.

After confirming with Dim, Xia Zuo would spend every weekend with Anru at this hotel.

Such days are truly intoxicating.

However, there will always be ups and downs.

After completing an important order last week, Xia Zuo received his first delivery assignment from Beatrice.

He was to personally help the resident monks in the northern part of Yenan Province transport a batch of urgently needed and expensive poison.

Beatrice added an additional requirement.

Although Xia Zuo has learned many spells, he does not yet have the Life Alchemy Stone, so he must remain secretive when he is out in the world.

If you discover someone with ill intentions, it's best to hand them over to the guards or city defense soldiers to deal with them, and try to avoid getting directly involved in the fight.

When Xia Zuo learned about the delivery mission, his first reaction was to refuse, but he accepted it anyway.

no way.

The points given are way too many.

This single task will earn you 270 points, which is equivalent to three regular drug-making orders.

Moreover, theoretically, it would only take about 7 days to travel from Starry Night City to a city in the north of Night South Province using the Wind Walk technique.

Even if you get delayed by something on the way, it will only take a maximum of 20 days to go round trip, averaging 13 points per day, which is definitely a lucrative job.

When horse-drawn carriages travel in the countryside, they have to go around mountains, as it is difficult for the packhorses to pull the heavy carriages uphill. In addition, the carriages cannot wade through water, so when they encounter rivers, they have to cross bridges.

Tivanas's Wind Walk spell is much more convenient.

Xia Zuo borrowed a map of the Starry Night Kingdom from Beatrice and planned a route that would save time and earn him extra money.

He planned which hotel he would arrive at each night. During the day, he would wander through remote, untouched areas of the wilderness, making his way to his daily lodgings.

After accepting the task, Xia Zuo spent a week and last night trying to appease his girlfriend, finally putting her at ease about the temporary separation.

"I'm about to leave." Xia Zuo snapped out of his reverie and gently patted Anru'er's back.

"Mmm..." Anru let out a soft, coquettish sound, then stretched, put her legs on her boyfriend's lap, rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay~ let's get up then."

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Xia Zuo pinched the other person's delicate cheek.

"Okay. Be careful on the road. I'll be waiting for you at the university." An Ru'er hugged her boyfriend's neck and whispered reluctantly in his ear.

...

The sun is rising.

Inside a stable near the gate of Starry Night City, the sound of sweeping came from the depths of the stable's front hall, moving towards the overhead window in the wall.

The stable girl opened the window, and a gentle breeze brushed past her head, ruffled her hair, and drifted into the hall.

The female worker took a deep breath, feeling even more energetic in the refreshing morning breeze. She turned around, picked up the broom by the wall, and continued sweeping the floor.

Not far behind the female worker, the plump stable owner sat in front of the counter, directing his employees to work.

A blackboard was hung on the wall of the front hall, on which the schedule for today's public carriages was written in chalk.

Travelers buy their tickets for the next day in advance at the stables, and board the public carriage when the time comes by presenting their tickets.

There are uniform regulations for travel arrangements in each provincial legislature.

Inter-provincial carriages connected the provincial capital. Intercity carriages traveled between cities. Rural carriages connected cities and their surrounding villages. There were no communal carriages between villages.
