Chapter 137: Poisonous Insect Cultivation
[Spell Combat Sparring Training]:
Serve as a spell combat sparring partner to improve your spell casting skills.
Pay per view, 2 gold at a time.
Requirements:
The mage level is third-level mage apprentice or above.
Proficiently master and use more than five combat spells flexibly.
[Raising Salamanders]:
Help raise the level 1 leyline creature Salamanders. You need to be responsible for feeding them once a day and accompanying them on outings.
Remuneration: paid monthly, 15 gold coins per month.
Requirements: Salamanders are very energetic and have a lot of activity in a day. Those who accept the task need to have outstanding physical strength.
[Alchemy Machine Trial]:
Try out the alchemy machine "Sound Knitting Machine" made by myself.
This alchemy machine was built for me and aims to capture and weave sounds from nature and daily life. Your task is to record more than a hundred non-repeating sounds for this alchemy machine.
The task deadline is one week.
The reward is 2 gold, as well as priority access to the subsequent optimization tasks of this alchemy machine. If corresponding suggestions are made and adopted, there will be additional rewards.
There are no requirements for accepting this mission.
[Take care of moonroot grass]:
Help take care of twenty special "moonroot grasses".
Note: These twenty "moonroot grasses" are my own For graduation projects, those with insufficient sense of responsibility will not be accepted. If you fail to complete the task and it affects your completion of the graduation project, you will need to compensate!
Compared with the tasks issued by the college, these tasks issued by tutors and students are undoubtedly much richer.
Moreover, the reward for some tasks is not directly proportional to the difficulty, and it looks like picking up money for nothing.
For example, the [Alchemy Machine Trial] task.
"Recording" one hundred sounds in a week is not difficult at all, and it doesn't require much energy.
But the reward is 2 gold.
Isn’t this just picking up money for free?
But that’s normal. After all, there are many students from the “second generation of law” in Seris Academy.
These people are not short of money at all, and there is definitely no shortage of people who can act as "taken advantage of".
And the alchemist himself is a "rich man".
Of course, there are also many pitfalls corresponding to "picking up money for free".
Just like the first [Spell Combat Training] mission, it looks easy and the reward is high.
However, it is possible to get injured in spell combat, and the mission requirements do not mention at all how to ensure safety during sparring, nor any compensation plan after injury.
In addition, combat spells are the spells that most need to be kept secret in the mage's spell library. It is not worth exposing them for a reward of 2 gold coins.
There is no doubt that this mission is a "sinkhole".
It is up to the students to judge whether it is "free money" or a "sinkhole".
If you are cheated, you can usually just admit that you are unlucky.
Just as Gaode's thoughts were wandering, the words on the mission bulletin board suddenly jumped.
[Alchemy Machine Trial] task has disappeared from the bulletin board.
Then Gothe saw a veteran student take a machine similar to a "music box" structure from the receptionist at the counter.
Obviously, the trial task has been taken over by this veteran student.
This made Gothe a little annoyed - he also took a fancy to this task.
In the end, it was just a stupid effort, and the flower fell into his home.
And just when he was regretting it, Gaode, who was still browsing the tasks subconsciously, suddenly found such a task on the task bulletin board.
[Poisonous Insect Cultivation]:
Take care of three types of poisonous insect eggs cultivated by me. These poisonous insects have unique characteristics and contain potential magical value.
Those who accept the task must, on the premise of ensuring that the poisonous insects hatch successfully, promptly handle the "defective products" after the poisonous insects hatch according to their own requirements, and screen out qualified poisonous insects.
Note: The three poisonous insect eggs are not ordinary poisonous insects. Two of them are the eggs of the 0-level leyline creature "Fire-kissed Ant" and "Scorpion", and the remaining one is the 1-level leyline creature "Phantom Centipede". ” was produced by crossing with “Thorn Centipede”.
Three kinds of poisonous insects have a certain degree of toxicity even when they are newly hatched. You need to pay attention during the cultivation process to avoid exposure to toxins.
If you are accidentally tricked, I will not provide compensation.
In addition, those who accept the task need to master and skillfully use the spell [Detect Toxicity], and regularly monitor whether poisonous insect eggs have toxins to predict the hatching time of the insect eggs.
If you are afraid of poisonous insects, please do not accept this task to avoid adverse effects on your physical and mental health!
Reward: After completing the task, you can obtain a rare 0-level spell formula - [Insect Swarm Rebirth]. After seeing the mission description and mission rewards clearly, Gothe's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
Promptly deal with "defective products".
The so-called treatment actually means execution.
According to the description, there are three types of these poisonous insects, two are 0-level leyline creatures, and one is a 1-level leyline creature.
Since it is an earth-line creature, if it is executed, "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" can obtain the corresponding origin.
1 Leyline creatures are very powerful, but how powerful can a newly born larva be?
Newborn lions are always ready to be kneaded.
This means that Gaode can collect two points of 0-ring origin and one point of 1-ring origin through this task!
Yes, it was a level 1 origin that he would never dare to think about under normal circumstances!
As for the mission reward, although it is not the most real money, a rare spell formula is far better than a monetary reward for Gaode who is already aiming for "super expertise".
After all, rare spell formulas cannot be obtained with money.
How many times can we get both the origin and a rare spell formula? This is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Moreover, he happened to have [Detect Poison], which met the requirements for accepting the mission.
Now Gothe didn't dare to waste any more time. If he missed this task again, he would really be heartbroken.
He immediately ran to the task processing counter, submitted his identity plate, and formally applied for the task of [Poisonous Insect Cultivation].
When he heard that Gaode was preparing to take on this task, the staff at the counter introduced him in detail about the details that were not marked on the task notice board:
"This task It was posted by Instructor Xiao of the Potion Department. "
"He has been dedicated to studying the integration of leyline biotoxins and potions, and is also an outstanding insect master."
Yu Chong, and such a partial professional Gao De thought subconsciously.
“Also, the effect of the [Insect Swarm Rebirth] spell is to temporarily cause a swarm of insects including mites, fleas and parasites to appear on the target.”
“This attack The method is more unpredictable and cunning, but the damage is actually not outstanding.”
Although the damage is not outstanding, summoning bugs on the target can also cause mental damage to the target. If the target is a female, The mental damage can be doubled. Gaode said secretly.
“In addition, I must remind you that although the mission reward looks very tempting, this mission is not easy.”
"You need to take care of a lot of poisonous insect eggs to cultivate, and the growth cycle is also long, so it may take one to two months to complete this task."
It is better to have a large number. Otherwise, how can I get the origin together? This shortcoming will actually be an advantage for Gaode.
“For such a long time, it can only be exchanged for spell formulas that cannot be turned into income immediately, so this task is not popular.”
Generally, you will receive the task in the logistics department. They are all civilian mages with ordinary backgrounds.
They need to receive monetary remuneration by completing tasks to pay for the course, and then obtain credits by completing the course.
A task whose reward is a spell recipe, in this case, is naturally not that popular.
It’s not that rare spell formulas are bad, it’s just that the students’ first priority in the academy is “credits.”
Rare spell formulas are the icing on the cake.
Just like when you are really thirsty, it is not that milk tea is not good, but pure water is the only thing that can really quench your thirst.
Only when you enjoy it, you will choose milk tea.
"Are you sure you want to apply for this task?" After introducing the details and precautions, the staff confirmed for the second time.
“Of course, I’m sure!” Gothe said without hesitation.
Although he has felt the foreseeable financial crisis, at least he still has some savings and can "indulge" a little.
The staff was a little stunned when they saw Gaode being so decisive, but they said nothing. They helped Gaode register, and then handed Gaode a certificate to accept the task on his behalf.
“Take the voucher and go to the Potions Department to find Instructor Xiaoer. He will assign tasks to you.”
"Okay." Gothe took the voucher, turned around and left the Logistics Department, and came to the "Larry Building" where the Potions Department is located.
Compared with the deserted "Gavin Building" of the rune department, "Larry Building" is much more lively.
This is because although the rune master is regarded as the head of the three imperial families, the number of rune masters has always been very small because the threshold is too high.
The magician has always been the most numerous among the three royal families.
Gothe entered Larry Building and quickly found Instructor Xiao.
After he expressed his intention to come, Instructor Xiao was also unambiguous and immediately took Gaode to the breeding room he rented specially to cultivate three kinds of poisonous insects.
