Chapter 12, Student and Mentor
Hetara, an international student from Mondstadt, got up early today and quickly completed her grooming and breakfast with the help of her maid.
Then the foreign student Hetara left the school district dormitory with her maid and waited on the road from the dormitory area to the northern suburbs of Xumi City.
She was an international student who just enrolled this year, so she was not familiar with the tutor she chose, so she almost made a big mistake.
Soon the desert man Sameer also came here, followed by Shamian from Tinal who was born in the Hall of Silence.
The three formed a team and headed to the suburbs where Forgate lived.
As for the other rainforest trio, Baanka, Kulu and Batu, they took a different path. This was decided together after they completed their visit yesterday.
Mr. Nizante, the vizier from the suburbs, met this group of students on his way to work, and he enthusiastically showed several students the way to Fugate's residence.
Although it rained lightly in the early morning, the road made of roots of the sacred tree did not appear muddy.
When several people saw their mentor, he was doing morning exercises. Their mentor's dress and temperament did not look like a scholar at this moment. The various sword skills he performed made everyone break out in cold sweat.
Seeing the arrival of several people, Fugate's consciousness came online for a rare occasion.
"You should first familiarize yourself with the various arrangements in the Sixth Floor Manor, and wait until I finish my morning exercises." After Fugate said this, he fell into a state of self-destruction again.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Fugate returned to serving as a scholar.
"How's the familiar one?" Fugate asked.
"I have never seen many things." The five students answered honestly.
Xia Mian, a Tinale native from the Palace of Silence, said that he had a certain foundation in alchemy and had seen most of the instruments.
Fugate nodded, understanding the basics of these students. They were standard students who were still in the stage of learning theoretical knowledge.
Fugate came here this way too.
However, this stage of his life is relatively short. After all, photographic memory is no joke.
Fugate fiddled with a cabinet for a while and found a beaker of an unfinished version of [Fugate's Intelligence Development Potion].
This was left over from the experiment the day before yesterday, and I just used it to complete the final trust test today.
Fugate expressionlessly divided it into six parts and handed it to the six apprentices and said, "This is the intelligence development potion I studied."
"Has this mentor been tested by the health home?" Batu asked through gritted teeth.
Fugate said expressionlessly, "Of course it didn't pass."
"This is murder!!" Batu has seen too many tragic situations after using unverified drugs.
But before Batu could finish the rest of his words, Sameer from Aru Village in the desert drank the intelligence development potion directly.
Then Sameer's eyes lit up.
Shamian, a Tinaraite from the Hall of Silence, followed closely behind.
Then the foreign student Hetara, who didn't know anything else, watched the others drink and then drank too.
She thought that having her mentor wouldn't harm her.
The other two rainforest people looked at each other and obviously considered the significance of this matter, so they also drank.
In the end, only Batu was left, but Batu also drank the potion with an ugly expression, but after drinking it, Batu's expression changed.
"Let's talk about the side effects of the medicine. Because it forcibly activates the brain area of the brain, your brain will be damaged. Don't worry too much. The damage is easy to repair. At most, you will have a headache after the effect of the medicine wears off."
"Now that it's teaching time, you should have experienced the mystery of the brain being opened. I will explain the entire Sixth Level Manor and the uses and taboos of various experimental equipment."
"The entire left half of the first floor is an area for leisure and experimentation, the right half is a book collection area, and the middle is the kitchen area and garden area."
"You can do whatever you want on the first floor."
"The second floor is the collection area, bedrooms, and study room, and the third floor is the astrology room. These two floors are not open to you."
"The first underground floor is where research on mechanisms and architecture is conducted, the second underground floor is where research on monsters and elemental power is conducted, and the last three underground floors are storage rooms."
"The alchemy materials and equipment I prepared for you are stored in that place. We will go get them together later."
Fugate spoke very quickly and quickly completed the task.
Then he started to talk about the names of various experimental equipment, what functions they have, and what the standard operating procedures are.
Finally, I calculated the time required for the medicine to be used to familiarize several students with the operation.
Finally, when the effect of the drug was about to wear off, the H-emotion suppressant was handed over to several students.
Several students obviously knew H Emotion Suppressant and drank it without saying a word.
"So how do you feel?" Fugate looked at several students expressionlessly.
Several students had the same expressionless expressions as Fugate, but they were suffering from the side effects of the medicine, so their faces couldn't help but look a little pale.
Batu asked: "The intelligence development potion seems to amplify our original learning ability and organize the knowledge we have learned before. So what are the shortcomings of such an excellent potion."
"The cost is high and the side effects are extremely powerful, and the enhancement of the potion is only temporary, and permanent enhancement requires multiple doses." Fugate explained.
"However, in my opinion, this side effect is still acceptable, but you need to lengthen the interval between taking the medicine. From now on, you can only take it every half a month to give the brain enough time to recover."
"I have no problem." Batu nodded and retreated. Having personally experienced the effect of this intelligence development potion, Batu couldn't say no to it, because that genius-like perspective was so addictive.
"In order to prevent addiction, every time you use an intelligence development potion, you will end up taking a bottle of emotional suppression potion."
Then Fugate gave the six people a list of books, some of which could be found in the library, and some of which were books on brain science and consciousness copied by Fugate himself.
In addition, he also introduced the key points of the book on how to build a memory palace and how to strengthen memory to achieve photographic memory.
With this memory, they can rise from mediocrity to the level of talent.
"Finally, the six of you will have half an hour of question time every day."
"As for the time, just set it in the evening every day."
Then Fugate went about his business with an expressionless face. In fact, Fugate also had a teaching task, and the content of his teaching was some basic theoretical knowledge of the Suron School.
However, in Fugate's opinion, as long as these guys are given intelligence development potions, it is not difficult to learn all the basic theoretical knowledge of several years in two days.
So they didn't pay attention to these at all. While Fugate was busy, several students found some of Fugate's brain science works in the library area, and then copied them in blank notebooks.
The foreign student Hetara breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the expressionless tutor Fugate put a lot of pressure on her.
Her maids were only allowed to stay in the garden and kitchen, and were not allowed to enter the experimental area and other areas, so she had no one to talk to.
Fortunately, the instructor's H emotion inhibitor was very magical, making her seem to have no distracting thoughts and her concentration was more focused, so her learning efficiency was pretty good.
The international student Hetara was very lucky. The first thing she found was the book mentioned by the teacher, a book that introduced how to build your own memory palace. Some of the knowledge about consciousness and memory in it made the international student Hetara very confused. , but the description of how to build a memory palace is relatively detailed.
After eliminating the interference of her own emotions, and with the help of the residual intelligence development potion, the foreign student Hetara actually quickly got started. Next, she only needs to deepen her skills to fully learn this magical ability.
Several others also gained something, mostly through strengthening their memory and logic abilities.
Two months later, several students who had completed this year's assessment ahead of schedule gathered together. "I never thought that the courses at 'Sibandama Academy' would be so simple." Hetara couldn't help but sigh with emotion after reading through her textbooks.
"You have to thank your mentor for this. Without the mentor's guidance and training, your learning ability, memory and logic ability would not have been so powerfully improved." Xia Mian said.
"I can only say that he is worthy of being a master." Kuru also said with emotion.
Batu scratched his head and said, "Do you want sugar water?"
“Bring me a drink,” basically everyone said.
It is good to study with Tutor Fugate. The learning efficiency is terrible, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, the consumption of money also increases.
The various potions given by Tutor Fugate cost them nothing, but they needed to spend more money on their own food, otherwise they would not be able to keep up with the consumption of their brains.
Recently, both Hetara and Sameer have begun to reduce the frequency of makeup, just to save money and eat more good food.
Batu's family lives near the Health Home. His father is a scholar and doctor of the Sheng Lun sect, and his mother is the daughter of a large landowner nearby. Therefore, the family is relatively wealthy and can often bring them some sugar, such as the current sugar water.
Batu actually feels a little regretful now, because he learned from asking Tutor Fugate that the so-called intelligence development drug has actually been tested on animals, and Tutor Fugate himself has even undergone human experiments on himself.
So Batu felt a little guilty, but the instructor didn't need anything, so Batu could only make up for it with a few classmates.
Sugar water is the most common method. Although this sugar water is inconspicuous, Batu and other students consume a large amount of sugar water every day to supplement their brain consumption.
"Have you learned how to configure low-level concentration potions?" Baanca asked. "I have recently mastered the configuration method of low-level concentration potions. I only need to go to the health home to complete the certification and I can sell the potions."
Baanka, who comes from a small businessman family, always likes to make money and is quite public.
Kuru, who came from a family of vendors in the Grand Bazaar, is better than him in this aspect. Although he also likes Mora, he is very low-key.
"Of course I have learned it, but if you have that time, you might as well learn more knowledge. We haven't finished reading the teacher's book collection yet." Hetara said, "By the way, Samer, what are you busy with recently?"
"I'm helping the caravan in the village refine improved versions of sobriety potions, low-level concentration potions and H emotional suppressing potions." Sameer said. "The demand for these potions by mercenaries and guards is quite high, and those shops... ·”
Samer actually wanted to help the village save money.
The prices of all kinds of things sold to the desert people in the shops were increased several times, especially those profiteers in Kavanyi. They even sold inferior products. A few people knew something about this, so they thought about it. Silence fell.
"How is your situation Xia Mian recently?" Everyone changed the topic.
"The situation in the Palace of Silence is pretty good. What is lacking here is high-end potions. Several elders are very interested in the mentor's intelligence development potions. I heard that they are planning to purchase some so that they can listen to more of Lord Hermanubis. teachings," said Shamian.
Batu scratched his head and said, "But didn't the instructor say it hasn't been completed yet?"
"Don't drink until you're done." Charmian rolled his eyes.
Batu laughed awkwardly twice, and then stopped talking.
"What do you think the teacher is doing today?" Kuru asked.
"Maybe he is practicing swordsmanship." Xia Mian said, "Or he is developing elemental power. It is said that after the teacher obtained the Eye of God, he often took time to develop elemental power."
"Oh~ I wish I could use elemental power. The addition of elemental power to alchemy experiments is really great." Hetara said.
"It has a greater bonus on physical training." Sameer said, "But the Eye of God is too rare, and the Erling weapon is too dangerous... Alas~"
"Let's go to the Grand Bazaar today." Kulu suggested, "It's just time to relax. There is a song and dance performance today."
"Speaking of which, this year's [Flower God's Birthday] is about to begin. It's the birthday of Lord Tree King." Xia Mian said.
The people in the Palace of Silence respect the Tree King very much, so they send people to attend the [Flower God's Birthday] every year and distribute Yalda candies to the civilians of Xumi City.
"I have never seen such a festival. Speaking of which, can I see Lord Tree King on that day?" Hetara, an international student, asked excitedly.
······
Fugate did not develop elemental power, nor did he practice sword skills.
After bathing and meditating, he turned on the system's prayer function and prepared a total of sixty-six draws this time.
The first prayer was thirty-six strokes, and Fugate prayed for brain science.
I got a bunch of miscellaneous items from the first-star "Earth OL" and ordinary two-star brain science books. Many of them are even duplicates of the previous gains, but there are also a few more interesting gains.
[Legilimency]: A three-star spell note from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". After learning it, you can get the three-star spell, Legilimency, to capture the traces of brain activity and peek into the hidden memories.
[Occlumency]: A three-star curse note from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". You can obtain it after learning it. The three-star curse·Occlumency blocks the brain's thoughts and prevents them from being probed. In addition, You can suppress your emotions.
[Pensieve]: This three-star magic weapon from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men" can export the memories in your brain and save the thoughts and memories in your mind.
[Intelligence Enhancer]*3: A three-star potion from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". As the name suggests, it can slightly increase IQ.
Fugate had already made a preliminary analysis when he got it. The ingredients of this so-called intelligence-enhancing agent are not important. What is important is the magic power contained in the drug. That thing is what the intelligence-enhancing agent can do. key to effectiveness.
Fugate tasted one bottle, and the remaining potion was stored in the system's time-stopping warehouse for later research.
The second prayer is for thirty draws, eighteen of which pray for ritual knowledge.
This Fugate has gained a lot. After all, it is new knowledge that he has not been exposed to before, so it is useful to Fugate.
Although most of them are one- or two-star books, there are also more rare books and knowledge.
[Detailed Explanation of Ritual Magic]: Three-star books from the unknown magical world record a large number of ritual magics. After learning them, you will gain three-star abilities and mastery of ritual science.
[God Becoming Ceremony]: Four-star knowledge from the unknown divine world, recording the ritual for mortals to become gods.
The remaining twelve draws were drawn at random, and several interesting things were obtained.
[Synesthesia Beacon]*6: A four-star high-tech creation from "Honkai: Star Rail", invented by Elijah Salas, member #56 of the "Genius Club", discovered, reproduced and popularized by the Erotic Society , produced by Interstellar Peace Company, can connect perceptions, automatically transform and process and restore inner language.
[Thousand-Hand Compassionate Medicine King Salvation Product]: A two-star book from "Hengkai: Starry Sky Railway", which records and praises the great Compassionate Medicine King.
[The principle of "immortality"]: The three-star book from "Honkai: Star Railroad", Danshu's research on the principle of "immortality", after learning it, there is a probability of understanding the three-star prescription·Elixir of Immortality, the three-star prescription·Dragon Pan Qiuyue , two-star prescription·Huanchen Dan, two-star prescription·longevity-increasing medicine.
Of course, it would be better if there were no weird things like [Danshu's Eyepatch], [Danshu's Black Silk], [Danshu's Jade Number] and the like.
Fugate was quite speechless at the random appearance of these miscellaneous items.
Fugate seriously suspected that the six rays of lottery power formed a group to steal Danshu's home.
Fugate destroyed the debris, then placed various books in the study room, and then used various knowledge directly. Of course, Fugate did not let go of the final synesthesia beacon.
With synaesthesia beacons, Fugate can learn other languages more efficiently.
This was very important for the ceremony that Fugate was about to prepare.
That's right, with the help of the system, Fugate already had some ideas for his next ritual.
However, this requires a lot of things and cannot be completed by one person. Fortunately, Fugate has left himself long enough.
And after learning the ritual, he can first use a ritual to liberate more of his essence and let himself enter the next stage, which is the stage of being awake for six hours a day.
Now I am awake for thirty-six minutes every day, which is not enough for Fugate who has many topics and projects.
