Chapter 613 We have to find a way! (Two in one)

Soon Gervis arrived at the building where credits were exchanged.

Coincidentally, the person who received Gervis today was still the part-time female student that day.

"It's you? Classmate, do you have anything to do?"

The female student looked at Gervis with complicated eyes. Apparently, apart from Gervis' handsome appearance, the fact that he possessed a talent for necromancy magic but refused to learn it also left a deep impression on the female student.

"Give me ten sets of materials for making magic recovery potions!"

"In addition, we need materials for ten portions of fighting spirit recovery potions and five portions of mental strength recovery potions!"

Seeing that the girl actually remembered him, Gervis smiled at her and then told her the purpose of his visit.

"You want to prepare a magic potion?"

The female student asked back in surprise.

Gervis continued to smile and did not answer.

"Sorry, I'll get it for you right away!"

When the female student saw that Gervis was smiling but did not answer, she also knew that she had said too much, so she blushed and quickly apologized to Gervis, then went to get the materials that Gervis needed.

After a while, the female student came back with a few jade boxes in her hands.

"Student, these are the materials you need!!"

"The materials for ten magic recovery potions plus ten fighting spirit recovery potions require a total of 4 credits!"

"Also, the materials for the mental power recovery potion are more expensive. Five portions require a total of 5 credits."

"So you need to pay a total of 9 credits this time."

The female student placed the jade box on the table in front of Gervis and told him the detailed price, but her eyes were still full of curiosity about Gervis.

One credit is equivalent to ten gold coins, which means that the price of the materials for configuring magic recovery potions and fighting spirit recovery potions is two gold coins per portion.

The materials for the mental recovery potion require ten gold coins per portion.

This price is indeed two levels more expensive than the magic material store outside the academy, but Gervis has already checked the varieties of materials and found that they are of good quality and very suitable for preparing potions.

So Gervis didn't say anything more, handed over his student card, and let the female student deduct the credits.

After paying the credits, Gervis left the building with the jade box and headed straight to the configuration room of the academy.

After Gervis turned around, the female student wanted to say something several times but stopped herself, and in the end she didn't say anything.

The reason why the female student exclaimed earlier was because those who can prepare magic potions are basically intermediate magicians, because only intermediate magicians have enough mental strength to purify various materials.

"He must have bought it for someone else! For example, that girl that day. Although this handsome classmate might be short of money, he should know that trainee magicians can't go to the configuration room!"

"Besides, it's impossible for an apprentice magician to make magic potions!"

…

Because he didn't want to expose the existence of the space ring, Gervis did not put the jade boxes containing the materials for making magic potions into the space, but held them in front of him and walked forward.

Soon, Gervis arrived at the configuration room building opened by the college.

At this time, there were many people coming in and out of the configuration room building, and at a glance, they were basically formal magicians wearing black robes. There was not a single apprentice magician like Gervis who wore a gray magician robe.

When the black-robed magician students saw Gervis carrying the jade box into the configuration room building, they looked at him curiously.

"Hello classmate, I need a pharmacy preparation room! Please help me open one."

Gervis came into the hall and placed the jade box on the table beside him. He then handed over his student card and spoke politely to the student in charge of the configuration room.

"Student, I'm sorry, but the configuration room has a rule that you must come in person when you rent the configuration room! So I can't help you open it. If any student wants to rent the configuration room, you can ask him to come in person!"

The person in charge of registration management was a male student wearing a black robe. He was obviously also a formal magician. However, he directly rejected Gervis' request to rent the configuration room.

"Classmate, I am me, and it is me who needs to rent the configuration room!"

Although Gervis didn't understand the reason, he didn't get angry. Instead, he pointed at himself and said it again seriously.

"ah?"

When the male student heard Gervis say this, he exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Gervis carefully again for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"Classmate, are you a junior magician or an apprentice magician? There are regulations for the configuration room. Those below the junior magician level cannot rent the configuration room!"

Gervis is not the only one who knows that magic potions can make money, so there are always some students in the academy who do not have good living conditions but really need credits to exchange for various knowledge and books and come to try.

Of course, the majority of them are apprentice magicians. Due to the lack of resources, their training progress is slow, so they naturally want to earn credits in exchange for resources within the academy.

However, there is a threshold for preparing potions. Even junior magicians can rarely make money by preparing magic potions, and it is naturally even more impossible for apprentice magicians.

Originally, students should do this voluntarily, and renting a configuration room also costs credits, so the college should not prohibit such actions.

But the problem is that there are only so many configuration rooms in the academy, and a large number of apprentice magicians come here frequently, causing many intermediate magicians who really need to use the configuration room to have to wait a long time before they can use it.

Therefore, the academy later made a rule that if one did not reach the level of a junior magician, one would not be able to rent a configuration room.

When Gervis heard what the male student said, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that the configuration room had such a rule.

However, he had already bought the materials, and he also wanted to try whether it was feasible to prepare the potion, so Gervis just thought for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.

"My classmate, what is your name?"

"My name is Bernie."

"It's Bernie!"

"Student Bernie, it's like this, my ability has reached that of a primary magician, but I don't have time to find a mentor for the assessment these two days!"

"I've always wanted to try to make a magic potion. I bought all these materials right after I made the breakthrough. I'll come back after the test!"

Gervais said a lot with a smile, but Bernie didn't understand what Gervais was saying at all.

He was moving his lips and was about to say: In that case, then you go take the test first and come back later.

But suddenly, Gervis changed the subject and continued, "But after exchanging these materials, I suddenly remembered that I borrowed a few gold coins from Bernie a few days ago, so I came here immediately to return the gold coins to Bernie first!"

As he spoke, Gervis took out three shining gold coins and placed them in his hand.

"this……"

Bernie was a little stunned. He was sure that he didn't know Gervis, let alone lend him money.

"Student Bernie, I will return these three gold coins to you!"

As he spoke, Gervis stuffed the gold coin over and then winked at Bernie who was a little dazed.

At this time, Bernie finally realized what Gervis was doing.

He subconsciously looked around and found that there were not many people in the hall at the moment, and everyone was coming in and out and no one was paying attention to him, so he held the gold coin in his palm without leaving any trace.

Students like them come here to work part-time because they are financially tight. Although three gold coins are not much, they can buy them one or two delicious meals.

Bernie and the others are not as generous as Gervis. They need monster meat for every meal, and a breakfast can cost two or three gold coins.

"Student, give me your student card. It takes one credit to rent the configuration room, which is good for five hours!"

"I'll use my identity information to register you later! If anyone asks you after you go in, just say you're here to deliver materials to a classmate! Your configuration room is in Room 1!"

After Bernie received the money, he naturally had to do something for Gervis. He quickly asked Gervis for his student card, and then without even looking at his name, he just deducted one cent of the rental fee and returned it to Gervis.

After the credits were transferred, he used his own information to register for Gervis. While registering, he whispered to Gervis with a little nervousness.

"Thank you!"

Gervis nodded, then quickly walked into the building holding the jade box.

"Oops, I forgot to tell him not to damage the items in the configuration room, otherwise he will have to pay for it!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Forget it. When he comes out later, it will be almost dark. No one will come to register by then. I'll go over and check again!"

Originally, Bernie didn't have to worry about such things. After all, he had a student card registered, so even if there was any loss, it could be traced later.

But he was so nervous that he forgot to look at Gervis' name.

And that configuration room belonged exclusively to his mentor. Bernie would usually do configuration in it when his mentor was not around. He did not need to pay tuition to use the configuration room, which was one of the benefits of being a registered apprentice.

And the credit that Gervis had just received naturally fell into his pocket, because Gervis's action of taking the three gold coins gave him a lot of inspiration. Anyway, his tutor had told him that he would not be back after going out today!

…

Soon, Gervis saw the icon of Room 1 at the end of the corridor, so he pushed the door and walked in.

When entering the configuration room, Gervis locked the door and then looked around the configuration room.

It's true, this configuration room is quite spacious and bright, covering an area of ​​more than 40 square meters. In addition to the natural light from the windows, there are also several deep-sea pearls on the ceiling protected by magic circles for lighting.

"Well, it's a little small, but it's still acceptable!"

The size of the deep-sea pearl on the ceiling was naturally not comparable to that of Gervis’s. It was only the size of the glass beads that the child played with in the previous life.

However, this thing is worth a lot of gold coins, and it can be used in the configuration room probably because it is in the Alliance College of Higher Learning.

After looking at it for a while, Gervis took the jade box and came to the stone platform in the middle of the room.

Although this stone platform is very large, it is also occupied by numerous crystal vessels.

Preparing magic potions is a delicate job, so these crystal vessels are specially made and have scales.

There are also tools such as stone mills, mixers, etc.

"Then let's prepare the magic recovery potion and give it a try!"

Gervis recalled how to prepare the magic recovery potion, and then began to look for the items he needed on the stone table.

A total of seven materials are needed to prepare the magic recovery potion, five of which are magic potion plants, and the other two are mineral-like materials and the blood of a magical beast.

The first thing Gervis needed to do was to crush the ore and divide it evenly into five parts, and then start to purify the essence of the four magic potion plants. The higher the purity of the purified magic potion essence, the higher the quality of the magic potion would be after success.

After all the materials are prepared, they need to be added in different orders and proportions, and during this process, you need to always use your mental and magical powers to control the degree of fusion of these materials to ensure that they react smoothly and evenly.

If this force cannot be controlled, the configuration materials will be scrapped at best, and unexpected accidents may occur at worst, such as explosions.

"Well, let's crush the ore first!"

Gervis took the ore but did not put it into the mill.

For other magicians, crushing ore is a physically demanding job, as the hard ore needs to be crushed into powder.

But for Gervis, it was no problem at all, he didn't even need to put it into the mill.

Instead, he placed it directly on the smooth and hard stone platform, then circulated his fighting spirit slightly. After that, with a "pop" sound, the billiard ball-sized ore turned into powder and broke into pieces.

"Well, my control over Dou Qi has become better and better recently! This is also thanks to my constant practice of Stealth Secrets II, which has improved my micro-control over Dou Qi!"

After secretly being narcissistic in his heart, Gervis carefully divided the powdered ore material into five parts, and then started the next process.

Because it was his first time to prepare the magic potion, Gervis completed each step carefully, so it took a lot longer.

A normal magician only needs more than twenty minutes to prepare one of these magic spirit potions, but Gervis took a full half an hour.

But half an hour later, he found that his final configuration was still a waste.

"When I added the ore powder earlier, I noticed a slight deviation at the bottom, but I didn't expect it to be scrapped like this!"

"Preparing magic potions is not that simple!"

After the failure of configuring the first magic potion, Gervis did not continue configuring it immediately. Instead, he sat on a chair and began to recall the previous configuration process and summarize the reasons for the failure.

Finally, Gervis found out where he had failed.

When he added the powder for the third time, while he was manipulating his mental and magical powers to guide the various materials in the fusion, the mineral powder at the bottom of the crystal container settled and was not mixed properly.

In fact, this is not a difficulty encountered only by Gervis, but a problem that most magicians will encounter when preparing potions.

No matter how light the mineral powder is, it is still heavier than the liquid.

When the powders are added to the liquid, they will begin to settle if you are not careful. Unfortunately, this magic potion requires all the ingredients to be evenly distributed and blended before it is fully prepared.

Therefore, the precipitation of ore powder is also the biggest reason for the low success rate of magic potions.

Experienced magicians will know how to use special techniques to add these materials when configuring, or to more skillfully control their mental power, so as to minimize the occurrence of sedimentation.

This was Gervis' first time configuring something, so naturally he had no experience and no skills.

"The magic power recovery potion currently only has one kind of ore powder, but the spiritual potion requires more than a dozen kinds of powder..."

Gervis instantly thought of the formula for the psychic potion, and his scalp suddenly felt tingling.

"No, I have to think of a way!"

Gervis prepares magic potions to make money.

The first element of making money is naturally speed.

So he naturally didn't want to be like other magicians, relying on repeated practice to achieve proficiency and improve the success rate.

"It would be great if I had three powers. I would have an extra power to control the fusion of the materials at the bottom and prevent them from settling... Hey! Wait!"
