Watching the fire gradually extinguished with the help of teachers and students, Carl became a little curious about the experiment that caused the accident.

Glancing at Carl, Nia sighed and said, "It was developed to create a new type of alchemical material that conforms to the nature of the illusion school's spells. A reckless guy tried to fuse the material containing shadow magic with a piece of shadow stone."

In the later stages of the School of Illusion, one can learn the secret method of incorporating shadow magic into illusions, so theoretically speaking, this guy's idea is actually correct.

But the fact that the idea is correct does not mean that the experiment will not go wrong. Look, the laboratory that is still emitting black smoke is the best answer to his idea.

"You, the School of Change, have a keen sense of the market!"

Carl opened his eyes wide and looked in admiration.

"It's not that we have a keen sense of the market, but the parent of the student from the Jinquan Club that I mentioned to you before. He proposed this idea to our instructor and provided the funds."

Hearing that the idea for this new alchemical material came from a member of the Golden Power Society, Carl's expression became a little more serious.

After all, there will only be a minority of programs in the form of "live broadcasts", and the main programs that ordinary people will see in the future will come from various videotapes.

Today's videotapes mainly rely on the ideas provided by Carl, using the main components of the photo stone to produce "film" that can preserve countless still images, and then connect these images together when played.

But there is actually another idea, which is to take the photography principle of the Photo Stone as the core and enhance the time that the Photo Stone can store image information.

The advantage of doing this is that it can restore the scene at that time to the greatest extent, and at the same volume as the videotape, the "resolution" of the photo stone will be at the Blu-ray level or even higher.

"So what is the extent of your experiment now?"

"Nothing."

Hearing this, the corners of Karl's mouth twitched twice, feeling that Nia's answer was "both unexpected and reasonable."

"If you haven't joined the core research team, then you should withdraw immediately. Otherwise, if you don't achieve any results by the time the funding runs out, it will affect your future prospects."

Nodding, Nia seemed to agree with Karl's words.

It is naturally impossible to have a 100% success rate in researching new alchemical materials, but if nothing is discovered, the bosses behind the scenes will write down the names of the core personnel in the experiment in a small notebook and then share it with other collaborators.

Legend has it that there was a wizard within the Dragon Mark family who was banned from participating in any large-scale experiments due to his outrageous experimental success rate.

"By the way, why are you two interested in coming to see me today?"

Shaking her silver diamond curls, Nia reported to her instructor using the telepathic spell, then turned around and left with Carl.

"It just so happened that we both came out of the processing workshop. I thought that Lisanna hadn't seen the situation of other wizard towers, so I brought her to find you and take a look at the Tower of Transformation."

Because Nia is always the last one to finish school, it has become a consensus among the three of them that she finishes school late.

"Since you guys came to see me, I'll treat you to lunch today. Is there anything you want to eat?"

With her hands behind her back, Nia walked in front, then turned around to face Carl and Lisanna, and walked backwards towards the teleportation portal.

She had walked this road leading to the Tower of Wonderful Machinery countless times and had already known it by heart.

"I want mixed cheese fondue!"

Hearing that Nia was treating, Lisanna immediately ordered something cheap.

It’s called hot pot, but it’s actually just boiling various ingredients with cheese.

The rich cheese wrapped around a variety of meats and vegetables tastes pretty good.

This dish comes from the halflings, a group of people who are extremely obsessed with high-calorie foods and spread the recipe of this dish throughout Khorvaire.

Among all the restaurants, this dish is definitely the best one to replenish energy.

Of course, the premise is that the cheese and the accompanying vegetables and meat are all ordinary.

"Ha! Are you really not afraid of becoming a little fat boy?"

Although Carl is also very obsessed with cheese, to be honest, he will get tired of it after eating too much of it.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Lisanna finally named a dish with great embarrassment.

Similarly, this dish also focuses on being cheap.

"Your sister Nia is not short of money, she just spent it all on buying alchemical materials. You don't have to be so frugal with her. How about this, I will sponsor another braised beef."

Seeing Lisanna's playfulness, Carl had no choice but to order a stew that required a lot of effort.

He was a complete carnivore, and having no meat in his meals was more painful than killing him.

He never got tired of eating monitor lizard meat when he was in the dungeon with Hope, and he would never get tired of it now.

"Ah! No! Forget about the stir-fried seasonal vegetables! I'll just make one... and turn it back into chicken and snake wings!"

Cockatrice, also known as cockatrice, is also known as petrified cockatrice.

It has the body of a chicken but the tail of a snake.

The chicken part is responsible for physical attacks, while the snake part is able to inflict petrification.

This thing is a perfect ingredient for making Cantonese dragon and phoenix soup. The chicken has the texture of snake meat, and the snake meat has the aroma of chicken.

However, this way of eating has not yet been discovered in Kovare. The more common way of eating it now is to cook the chicken wings in a pressure cooker and then fry them.

The name of the dish "Hui Lu" comes from this.

The reason why this dish is available in the cafeteria is thanks to the School of Transformation.

The gall of the chicken snake is the main material for making resistance potion, so after extracting the gall, the remaining useless part is sent to the cafeteria to be used as food.

Compared to turkey, this thing is definitely a steal.

"You actually want to eat this?"

Carl had seen this dish on the menu, but he had never tried it.

"You have to try it! The dish you made with fire snake meat was delicious, so I think this should be good too."

Lisanna said sadly while holding her small purse.

Seeing her like this, Karl laughed twice.

"Do you want me to take you out to do some tasks to earn some living expenses? Um~, just around Aundair."

There are free boat trips between the artificial island of Arkanix and the city of Arkanix southeast of Lake Galifa.

Many students would go to the city of Akanix on land to take on missions and make money.

Carl used to do this.

"Huh? Can I also make money by completing tasks now?"

Pointing at herself, Lisanna looked a little unbelieving.

"Can't I take you with me? Don't worry, it's not that difficult. Generally speaking, it's just dealing with wild beasts or other combat commissions. Once you are familiar with it, you can bring other rangers with you."

Further south of Acarnicus is the border with Breland.

Many former residents of Sayre live here.

Neither Aundair nor Breland dared to take care of them, so these people finally started looking for clients to issue tasks and asked nearby adventurers to help them deal with various problems.

As time went by, the main professionals who undertook their tasks became the cash-strapped Akanix students.
