My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Xia Zuo watched them walk into the restaurant silently, and when he noticed that Anru was not among them, he continued to wait by the side.

About five minutes later.

The doorway opened again.

Anru walked out with strands of hair twirled around her fingers, looking thoughtful.

A figure blocked her way. She looked up and saw the person's face clearly, then stretched out her arms and embraced them.

Chapter 28: All Tank Build

Anru leaned against him, tilted her head back, and said with a smile:

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time? Professor Zhuo Lang talked to me about the upcoming class schedule, and get out of class ended more than ten minutes late."

Xia Zuo patted her back, "Don't hug me anymore, Dim might be watching."

“I just can’t control myself…” Anru muttered, then pulled her hand and walked towards the restaurant. “After lunch, let’s go for a walk by the lake.”

She was in a state of high spirits after learning this morning that she had passed her final exams. At lunch, she happily ate two delicious dishes before waving her hands and saying she couldn't eat anymore.

Xia Zuo watched with amusement as she, heavily pregnant, carefully walked from the restaurant steps onto the grass, her hands resting on the railing.

"I'm so full... I regret it, I shouldn't have eaten so much, what if I gain weight..."

An Ru'er glanced at the person next to her who was snickering, then reached out and tugged at their sleeve, shaking it a few times. "Aren't you going to try to persuade me to eat less..."

Xia Zuo chuckled, never expecting that even after two lifetimes, he would still be in a similar predicament. "I ate quite a bit too. When you're in a good mood, you naturally eat more."

Anru chuckled and came closer to hug her waist.

Xia Zuo put his arm around her. "I learned a new recipe today. What about you?"

Anru winked playfully and proudly raised her chin:

"I'm about to start earning silver coins and Mage Guild points. You wouldn't believe it, would you? I'm already getting jobs even as a mage servant."

"Was this arranged by Professor Zhuo Lang?"

Anru nodded, hugged the other person's waist tightly, and said in a clear voice:

"The professor said that he has been teaching us for the past few months and has not even had time to complete the orders from the Warriors Guild, which have a lot of backlogs."

“I can help him complete the simplest part of the order. When I receive the payment, I will take 60%, and give the remaining 40% to Professor Zhuo Lang. After all, he provided the materials and venue for completing the order.”

That's pretty good.

It allows you to hone your skills in blending oils and earn some extra money at the same time, so you can do both alchemy and make money without any problems.

But speaking of which, why hasn't Professor Kurov announced the profit-sharing plan yet? And I don't recall ever seeing him accept bounty orders from outside, have I?

Xia Zuo tilted his head suspiciously.

Could it be that my mentor is a hidden tycoon who doesn't have to worry about making a living or the expenses of practicing meditation?

He shrugged.

Why worry about these things? As long as we learn the formula for the poison, that's enough.

“What else?” Anru’er hugged her waist and swayed gently, drawing her boyfriend’s attention:

"Professor Zhuo Lang showed me the beginner and advanced level oil formulations and finished products."

Wow, there are so many.

"Even the entry-level ones have 30 different types of sword oil for various purposes and more than a dozen other oils."

"You can't imagine the smell of a room full of bottles and jars, with hundreds of different oils mixed together."

Anru chattered on, describing the scene, mentioning several times that she almost choked on the strong and complex smell and cried. She then complained about the drawbacks of the oil, saying that even though the room smelled so bad, they still couldn't open the windows for ventilation, otherwise the oil would evaporate even more violently.

Xia Zuo had a sudden thought and used a detection spell on her.

..

Willpower 50.015.01

Wind resistance: 30.023.02

..

Based on Anru's experience, it's highly likely that the oil-based alchemy primarily increases wind resistance.

It's still not entirely certain what resistance should be prioritized in potion alchemy, but it's very likely to be water resistance.

Of the three branches of artifact alchemy, the Giant Creator grants fire resistance, and Little Moben is the best example.

The resistance to the addition of ingenious objects and figurative elements is unknown.

Currently, it seems that among the four types of alchemy, only poison alchemy can increase all four resistances at once.

Why is this?

Xia Zuo's thoughts drifted back to the days when he was stranded at the Rosac checkpoint.

Mars once mentioned that the meditation methods of poison alchemy were similar to those of the Witcher school of the Eastern Continent. He used the example of eating pancakes to explain the Witcher school's approach.

In short, the Demon Hunter school is a group of people who forcibly absorb unruly elements through willpower and physical strength.

Regardless of the type of element, try to absorb it once you find it.

If it succeeds, then everything will be fine.

If it doesn't work out, then rest for a while and try the next one when your body has recovered or you've become stronger.

Thinking about it this way, all members of the Demon Hunter School should be able to simultaneously enhance their resistance to all four elements.

This explains why poison alchemy can provide resistance to all four elements at once.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Anru paused for a moment, took a few breaths, then hugged her arms and shook them, saying:

Professor Zhuolang said that the kingdom has plans to expand its territory.

“We mage servants can’t help on the front lines, but we can do a good job in logistics at the academy.”

"Make plenty of oils and potions and stockpile them. When we really need to expand our territory in the future, we'll sell them all to the army and the Warriors' Guild."

Xia Zuo listened and nodded, indicating that he was listening attentively. He followed the other person around the lake again and again, but his mind wandered to other places.

Their relationship is expected to remain stable for the next few years or even the next decade or so.

Now that the bond is established, we must help Anruer make a proper plan.

He was very cautious, holding onto a few free attribute points that he could use as health potions.

Unless you recklessly offend a powerful figure who can instantly kill you, you can rely on your immortal body, emergency situations, recovery potions, and free attribute points to save yourself.

However, Anru was just an ordinary person and did not possess an immortal body.

This means that the body is healthiest and most resistant before its resistance is broken down.

Once paralyzed and bedridden due to illness, poisoning, physical injury, etc., it is inevitable to leave behind chronic diseases, hidden ailments, or hidden injuries.

In data terms, every time an ordinary person enters a near-death state, a certain amount of their maximum health and vitality will be permanently deducted.

However, they cannot replenish their lost maximum health and vitality by adding points, and ultimately they will inevitably weaken.

Xia Zuo's experiences in his previous life left him helpless in this predicament.

I utterly despise it!

Something must be done to prevent Anjou from falling into incurable disease.

Build full tank items and stack resistances!

These eight words instantly appeared in my mind.

If we find a way to boost her vitality in the future, and after confirming that it has no side effects, we must use it on her promptly.

Xia Zuo looked at An Ru'er with a solemn expression, his concern for her overwhelming her like a heat wave.

"What's wrong... why are you looking at me like that..." Anru'er's cheeks flushed red.

Xia Zuo hugged her tightly for a few seconds, then released her and laughed:

"I've been thinking about something. It's almost time, let's go back and rest, we have class later."

"Hmm..." Anru rubbed her stomach, feeling that the bloating had subsided a bit. She smacked her lips a few times and said, "Let's try a seafood boiled set meal tonight. It's been so long since we've had it."

"Okay, whatever you say, I'm fine with anything."

Chapter 29 Alchemy Potential

1:10 PM.

Xia Zuo lay in his dormitory for a while before heading to the Poison Alchemy Zone.

There's no need to rush to boost Anru'er's vitality and resistance. She's safe at the academy now. Let's focus our energy on poison alchemy.

The sooner you can grasp the characteristics of the elements on your own, the sooner you can obtain the beginner-level meditation method and advance to become a mage apprentice.

By then, you'll have the resources and capital to do what you want to do.

Xia Zuo walked energetically through the hall displaying poison bottles and entered the basic alchemy room.

The glass bottle and note on the desk remained unchanged. Kulov lay on the soft sofa, seemingly lost in thought, never stopping.

He tiptoed, found the lever on the wall, and opened the stone door to the advanced alchemy chamber.

Time passed in a busy yet orderly alchemy session, and before they knew it, it was 5 p.m.

Kulov was still meditating.

Xia Zuo summarized some patterns in his mentor's daily routine.

Typically, there are two to three instances a month where Kulov meditates from morning till night. The longest meditation session lasted three days. During those three days, Kulov never left the soft sofa.

More often than not, it's like this.
