Studying Science in the Alternate World

"Impulse is the devil, chick."

Facing Xiaoji's proposal to attack Cuihai Valley, Duke could only politely refuse.

Emerald Sea Valley is the target of Arcane Master Bernoulli, and the medium-sized spiritual spring is even more in his pocket, and the ancient spirits in it obviously belong to him long ago.

"Eat the spirit crystal, chick, when you evolve into a 3rd-ring great elf, maybe Bernoulli can give us face and return your grandma... In short, don't worry, if he doesn't give it, just wait until I get promoted to 4th ring , find him personally!"

"But I'm afraid that my grandma will also be made into a specimen."

"This is definitely not the case. The ancient spirit is invaluable, and no one is willing to make it into a specimen."

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure, and sure."

"I'm in a much better mood, Duke, give me the spirit crystal quickly, I want to grow up quickly, and save grandma!"

Crackling, crackling, a spirit crystal was chewed to pieces by the chick.

After eating one, eat another one, and finish the New Year's Day meal that Duke prepared for it in one go.

"Eh..." He hiccupped and dangled in mid-air.

Duke carefully observed the chick, and confirmed that every time the chick ate the spirit crystal, there were subtle changes in its body.

It is mainly concentrated on a pair of short legs at the junction of the tail and the head.

It is still disproportionately short, but it has grown a little bit, which is not obvious. If Xiaoyi's image analysis ability is not outstanding, this subtle change will not be noticed at all.

"With this growth rate, I'm afraid I have to eat several tons of spiritual crystals to grow matching hind legs?"

Duke pondered.

"In addition to a pair of hind legs, it also has a pair of front legs. Tsk tsk, how many tons does it take to rely on spirit crystals alone?"

Yawning, the chick bumped headfirst into Duke's stomach, and returned to the sea of ​​air to rest.

Compared with Beverly Manor, it prefers the atmosphere of Duke.

Although the spiritual seed gifted by the mysterious vine has not matured yet, as long as it touches the spiritual seed, the chick can feel that his body is slowly growing along with the spiritual seed.

Evolution is the instinct of living things, and so is the chick.

"Xiaoyi, report the progress."

"Okay master, there are five processes currently running...Process 1: Exclusive meditation method...Process 2: Arcane shield wonder...Process 3: The production and development of a ring storage card...Process 4: Sand Eagle 1.5 Bullet version with special effects...Process Five: Interactive program..."

Arcane Shield Wonders, 53 days left to complete.

The production and development of the first-ring Chu Ling card requires the cooperation of Duke to personally experiment on the card material, and the rest of the time, the research and development progress is slow.

Therefore, Xiaoyi can still squeeze out a part of the power for the research and development of the Shaying 1.5 special effect bullet version.

"Everything is progressing steadily, well..."

The New Year's Eve passed quickly, and before the snow had melted, Vivian, Mu Lali and the others rushed back and continued to live their lives around Beverly Manor No. 17 and Duke.

January 7, 4413 in the storm calendar.

The Penrose Mage Tower, which has been on vacation for more than a week, has resumed its former bustle.

"Good morning, Leader Leadman."

"Good morning, Orianna, are you having a good New Year's Eve?"

"Good morning to you too, Dellas, Mitchell..."

"Good morning, Sanfis."

Duke said hello all the way, took the ladder to his office on the seventeenth floor, had a cup of coffee and read the newspaper.

Then he set off to the laboratory on the fifth floor to draw the spell models of the Mage's Hand and the Arcane Shield for the research team, and used them for the spiritual material comparison experiments of the team members.

After doing this, he returned to the office again, asked Mu Lali to apply for a batch of blank spirit cards, and then practiced silently with the blank spirit cards.

Cooperate with Xiaoyi to repeat the research and development experiment of the 1st Ring Chu Ling Card.

With the cooperation of hands-on experiments, Xiaoyi's "one-ring storage card production and research and development" process is progressing rapidly and making rapid progress.

In the afternoon, the assistant Vikas came over: "How is the practice of Lingka, did you encounter many difficulties in the middle?"

"Encountered a lot of troubles, it's hard to succeed in making it easily like you."

"Haha, it's not easy for me. That's a step I've been able to achieve after decades of uninterrupted improvement of my skills. You've just started to get in touch, and you should be able to make it successfully after two or three years of hard work... As long as you make one, one If the law is clear and the law is clear, it will be easy later."

Two or three years?

Duke smiled and said nothing.

According to his current experiment progress, in another ten and a half months, Xiaoyi will be able to thoroughly study the production of the 1-ring storage spirit card.

After Vikas left, Duke continued his boring repetitive practice.

Failure again and again will be a great torture for ordinary people. It is impossible to predict when they will succeed, and they cannot know whether they have made progress.

But with the help of Xiaoyi, Duke is full of motivation when he sees the progress on the schedule.

In his view, every failure is a bit of progress towards success.

So he can hide in the office without getting tired of it, practice making a 1-ring spirit card for a whole day, and repeat it every day without fail.

"You mean, Duke consumes nearly two to three hundred blank spirit cards every day?" In the top office, Penrose asked his secretary curiously.

Secretary Lewski nodded and replied: "My lord, that's true. When the card production department reported to me, they were quite critical, thinking that Your Excellency Duke consumed too much of the blank spirit card, and guessed whether it was secretly carried out of the tower. "

"So, he didn't take it out of the tower, but really hid in the office and practiced on these blank spirit cards?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Where are the discarded blank spirit cards, give me a few." Penrose suddenly ordered.

Levsky had been a secretary for decades, so he was naturally prepared. He took out a few discarded blank Spirit Cards from his pocket: "This is a few cards I randomly picked out from the consumables consumed by Your Excellency Duke. A blank spirit card."

Penrose took it, pulled out a spirit card and put it in his hand.

The spirit can penetrate into it.

Soon there was a "hiss": "Are you sure you took it right?"

"No, my lord." Lewski didn't understand why.

Penrose put down the card in his hand and replaced it with another discarded blank spirit card, and quickly raised his brows after the spiritual energy penetrated.

Then continue to replace until all the discarded blank spirit cards on the desktop have been checked.

He clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "I asked Vikas to teach him how to make a spirit card. It only took a few days, less than half a month."

Levsky quickly replied: "You were on December 21 last year. Let me inform Lord Vikas to teach Lord Duke how to make cards."

"Aside from the few days of New Year's Eve, he has been practicing for less than half a month..." Penrose couldn't believe it, but he laughed, "It's interesting, it's interesting, Levsky, inform the card production department, Consumables are open to Duke."

"Yes, my lord."

After answering, Levsky asked curiously again: "My lord, what did Your Excellency Duke do to make you feel so happy?"

Penrose leaned back in his chair with a slight smile: "This genius arcanist, I don't know if he can become a genius card maker... I have never believed in geniuses, but this time, there seems to be something worth looking forward to." .”

...

Duke was very satisfied with the unlimited supply of consumables in the mage's tower, and spent other people's money to improve his abilities.

Miaozai, Miaozai.

Because consumables are not allowed to be taken out of the mage tower, Duke's card making experiments are all done in the office, and other things will be done after get off work.

Today he stepped off work, went to the castle under the mage tower, and walked into a cafe.

"My lord, here!" James, who had been waiting here early, waved his hand.

"Wait in a hurry, Boss James." Duke walked into the private room and asked the waiter for a cup of strong coffee, "I'm a bit busy at work."

"I just came here for a while, and I walked around the castle. Thanks to your protection, sir, this is the first time I have entered the mage's tower. It turns out that this is what it looks like inside." James had an eye-opening expression, Sincere admiration.

The mage's tower is not a forbidden place, but apart from the relevant service personnel and some spiritual apprentices, outsiders are rarely able to enter.

James, as a 1st-ring Great Spirit Plant Envoy, is about the same as a 1st-ring Great Knight when it comes to status.

But in the eyes of arcane masters, they may be no different from ordinary people.

Without permission, you can't enter any mage tower at all.

"That's the case with the Mage Tower. It's not as good as the United Tower, Faling Tower, Elemental Tower, Erudite Tower, and Observation Tower in the city. You should have been to these five towers, right?"

"I have indeed been there, but my lord, you forgot one thing. I have only been to the office halls of these towers, and I have never gone up... In fact, the highest floor I have gone up in my life is the seventh floor, the seventh floor of the Union Tower. I was honored to attend the first farming conference."

Shenjiao City is not a modern society with many tall buildings.

Although there are many tall towers over 100 meters in the city, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to enter. It seems that there is an invisible ceiling that restricts ordinary people to the lower floors. Only arcanists like Duke can freely enter the upper floors. in and out.

"Well, I can show you to my office later." Duke said casually.

But James stood up excitedly: "Really, my lord, thank you so much, I want to stand on a high floor in my life and take a look at our Shenjiao City!"

"Then go to my office and talk." Duke simply picked up the coffee cup.

James followed closely behind, and climbed up the spiritual ladder.

When he entered the office on the seventeenth floor, James, who stood in front of the window and cautiously looked at the distant land, realized his dream, his hands trembled a little.

I don't know whether to be scared or excited.

It took a while to calm down: "Let the adults see the joke."

"It's nothing." Duke took a sip of his coffee, "This time the owl will let you come here, because there is something important to discuss."

"Please tell me, my lord," James said with a correct posture.

Although he cooperated with Duke, founded the Duke-James Farm together, and became a business partner, it does not mean that he can be on an equal footing with Duke.

Even if Duke just let Levine hold the shares of the farm on behalf of him.

"I'll show you something... first." When Duke said this, he suddenly thought that if the chick heard it and called it "something", he would probably yell, "Remember to keep it secret after watching it."

James nodded hastily: "Don't worry, my lord, I have the tightest mouth."

Duke patted his stomach, and the next moment, the chick came out reluctantly from the sea of ​​air, shaking his head and squinting at James: "Duke, why are you calling me? Who is this guy? He has a big fat head and long ears. So ugly, hot eyes!"

"Don't tell the truth." Duke patted the chicken's head.

The big green tadpole floated and swam on the table, no matter how beautiful it looked, its jasper-like body exuded a refreshing plant fragrance.

"Ah... ah..." James' eyes widened at that time.

He is a ring 1 Great Spirit Plant Envoy, and every Great Spirit Plant Envoy has an illusory dream deep in his heart.

That is to cultivate a 2-ring elf spirit plant and give birth to an elf.

After the contract, he will be promoted to the 2nd Ring Spirit Envoy.

So when the chicken appeared in front of his eyes, even if he didn't know what the elf looked like. But the rhythm originating from the sea of ​​qi made him suddenly realize that this was the dream that had come into reality, and the Great Spirit Plant Envoy saw the elf!

pity.

The elf is not his, so he can only take a second look.

"Ah... this is... my lord, this is..." James was already incoherent.

"This is a chick, an elf, and I have completed the elf contract with me." Duke was in a good mood for James' excitement, and said with a smile, "So, in front of you is not just a 1-ring arcanist, but A 2-ring elf envoy."

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable!" James swallowed his coffee forcefully, trying to suppress his excitement, "My lord, you... this is really unbelievable, the elf, the legendary elf appeared in front of me!"

"Fatty, stay away from me, and I'll let Duke bite you!" Chick didn't like James' eyes, which made his skin crawl.

Duke's face darkened: "Shut up if you can't speak."

The little chicken grinned nonchalantly: "You called me out, and you told me to shut up, Duke, are you still my brother!"

"Go in, you!" Duke grabbed the chick and stuffed it directly into his stomach.

After stuffing the chicken back into the sea of ​​air, he rearranged his clothes and said to James: "As you can see, I am a 2-ring elf envoy... so I am going to let you buy a batch of them near the Penrose Mage Tower. The land was cleared for farms."

The chick entered the sea of ​​air, and James had regained his composure: "Your Excellency, you mean that this farm is centered on the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi, and the Lingzhi is cultivated and sold?"

"Yes, first to make money, and second to help the chicks evolve."

"I see."

"So you should hurry up and do this recently. Remember to cover it up. I don't want too many people to know my identity."

In case other arcane masters find out, if they insist on borrowing chickens from him for research, it will be very troublesome whether they refuse or agree.

James nodded and said: "I understand, please rest assured, my lord, I will arrange the secrecy measures of the farm, and I will sign a confidentiality contract with them one by one with my spiritual plant envoy team, and I will never disclose your situation, my lord. "

"Then you go and do it as soon as possible, and come to me if you don't have enough money... Oh yes, the body of the chicken is 2-ring Ji Yulu. The farm mainly grows various Yulu-related varieties."

"Yulu?" James immediately thought, "Yulu is mainly planted in greenhouses. I plan to open a greenhouse planting area in the center of the farm, dedicated to planting greenhouses, and plant mushrooms in the outer areas to cover it. My lord, do you think it's okay?"

"You are a professional in this area, do it according to your ideas." It is Duke's principle that professionals do professional things.

Although he is a 2-ring elf messenger, it has nothing to do with hard work, it's all due to luck that he hit the chick.

James is a servant of the 0-ring spiritual plant, step by step, and promoted to a 1-ring great spiritual plant envoy. He has many years of planting and management experience.

In terms of Lingzhi, James is more professional.

James, who got the new task, responded with joy: "Yes, my lord!"

Making money is second. To him, being able to get in touch with Ben Lingzhi-Ji Yulu, the second-ring elf, is the most precious opportunity.

Perhaps in the process of taking care of Ji Yulu, he constantly increased his understanding of elves.

Ask Duke a lesson or two.

It will give him a slight chance to cultivate his own little elf, so as to be promoted to the 2-ring elf envoy that haunts his dreams.

...

After sending James off, Duke got into the Tiger car and returned to his home at Villa 17 in Beverly Manor.

"Master." Butler Morris greeted him at the gate, took Duke's coat, and followed Duke into the room, "There is a happy event today. Captain Vivienne's contract partner, the black-spotted serval, successfully broke through as a 1 ring spirit beast, let me let the kitchen have a little celebration."

"Well, the black-spotted serval has made a breakthrough, so it's time to celebrate!" Duke said happily.

The black-spotted serval has been promoted to the 1st ring spirit beast, which means that it will soon be able to feed back Vivienne and help Vivienne break through the 1st ring great knight.

After entering the villa, I soon saw Vivienne who was feeding the black-spotted serval.

Duke said loudly: "Congratulations, Vivienne, my 1st Ring Great Knight Captain."

"Thank you, my lord." Vivienne stood up, with an unconceited smile on her face, which looked bright and moving, "Mimi didn't let me down."

In the past, Vivienne always gave people a stereotyped impression, she was beautiful but lost her agility.

At this moment, she seemed to be glowing, which made Duke feel astonished: "Butler Morris has arranged a celebration meal for you, and I will arrange some fresh dinners for Mimi later." Wait for spirit beast meat, don't feed it with jerky."

Vivienne quickly declined: "You don't need to be so polite, my lord, Mimi is used to eating dried meat."

"You are my knight, and it is right to celebrate you and Mimi." Duke could not refuse, admiring Vivian's bright color, he turned his gaze to the black-spotted serval.

He knelt down and stroked the head of the black-spotted serval.

Part the top hair and admire the knight's bond stamp on the skin.

The imprint is an intuitive manifestation of the power of the contract, and the same is true for the knight's contract imprint. When the contract spirit beast evolves to the first ring, this imprint will form a complete ring.

On the top of the black-spotted serval is a complete ring.

"Xiao Yi, write down this ring mark completely." Duke parted the hair bit by bit, looking for the details of the ring.

Xiaoyi was in the spiritual sea, and following Duke's gaze, she engraved this circular imprint bit by bit.

Knowing the circle, researching the circle, understanding the circle.

It is something that any arcanist will do every day.

Mu Lali, the assistant who has been following Duke, finally found an opportunity at this time, congratulating Vivian: "Sister Vivian, congratulations, the 1st ring knight, sister is really excellent, sir's safety is up to you." Protect my sister."

Facing Mu Lali's compliment, Vivian replied reservedly: "My lord is a noble arcanist. Although I am still weak compared to my lord, if anyone dares to threaten my lord, Vivian will stand in front of me." Prevent!"

"Sister Vivian, when you protect the adults, will you also protect me?" Mu Lali asked sweetly.

Vivian said softly, "Although I don't have this obligation, I will still protect you, Sister Mu Lali."

"Thank you, sister Vivian."

"It's all for adults, so you don't have to be so polite."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.

Butler Morris came over with a cup of freshly brewed green tea: "Ladies and gentlemen, cook Virginie has made a few cups of tea, why don't you go over and have a cup to get rid of the cold."

Duke had already recorded the seal of the contract on the black-spotted serval's head, got up to take the green tea, and said, "You all go to rest, I also want to go upstairs and change my clothes."

After changing clothes, lie down on the rocking chair on the large terrace for a while.

With fighting spirit protection, the severe cold weather doesn't have much effect on him, it doesn't matter if it blows in winter or in summer.

"Is this the complete first ring contract imprint?"

Looking inside the Linghai, looking at the contract structure engraved by Xiaoyi, Duke pondered carefully and observed the subtle structure of the imprint.

There is also a contract mark on Xiaodou's head, but it is not complete.

There is no contract mark on the chick, but when the chick fits with him, or hides in the sea of ​​air, it will transform into a contract mark on him.

However, the elf contract imprint and the knight's contract imprint are formed in different ways.

"It's a very interesting ring structure...but the data samples are too small to analyze why. After I collect it slowly, I may be able to analyze something."

The mind exits the spiritual sea.

Just in time, I saw Xiaodou running over bouncing around.

Before Xiaodou came over, Duke scolded seriously: "Mimi has been promoted to 1st ring, what about you, Xiaodou!"

"Chichi..." Xiaodou was stunned.

Duke continued: "The gap between you and Mimi is getting bigger and bigger. I replaced it with you. Now I can't eat jerky at all, and I have to practice hard until midnight every day! And you, look at your growing belly , eat better than Mimi, but her strength is so much worse, why?"

Xiaodou lowered his head in shame.

"It's sweat. The difference between you and Mimi is sweat!" Duke concluded.

Xiao Dou drenched his head with a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, immediately lifted his spirits, and immediately activated the hardening arcane-sharp burr on the big terrace.

Then jump off the big terrace and run left and right in the yard, constantly releasing your energy.

"Be brave after knowing the shame, my Xiaodou is still a good boy." Duke smiled slightly and praised Xiaodou's hard work.

Speaking of which, Xiaodou is not yet 3 years old.

The growth period of the spirit beast is slower than that of ordinary beasts, it is still a child.

However, Vivian's black-spotted serval is only a little over 3 years old, not an adult black-spotted serval, and the blood refining method has accelerated its growth.

Duke's daily blood training is limited, and the training time with Xiaodou is shorter, which is also a factor that limits Xiaodou's growth.

"I don't have time to practice Dou Qi, so I can only ask Xiaodou to work harder and train myself." Duke felt a little guilty.

Decided to ask Levin to add food to Xiaodou at night.

...

Not long after the black-spotted serval broke through the 1st ring, about five days later, Vivienne successfully broke through to the 1st ring great knight, her fighting temperament changed and her strength increased dramatically.

"My lord, this feeling is like the fighting spirit has changed from a loose state to a state that can be restrained." On the big terrace at night, Vivian explained to Duke the changes after her breakthrough, focusing on the state of fighting spirit.

"Well, describe it carefully."

"Before the breakthrough, my fighting spirit was like riding a horse. You need to control it, but now my fighting spirit is like writing. You don't need to ride it, you can master it... In short, the current fighting spirit is like an instinct of mine. magic."

Duke stretched out his hand, Vivienne froze for a moment, then took Duke's hand.

During the handshake between the two, Duke's fighting spirit had already entered Vivian's body along the palm of his hand, arousing Vivian's fighting spirit.

The two battle qi were entangled with each other, and soon Vivienne's battle qi defeated Duke's.

"Don't stop, you are also trying to attack me with vindictiveness." Duke reminded.

Vivian nodded: "I'm offended, my lord."

Immediately, a gust of fighting energy rushed into Duke's arm, like a snake, condensed, agile, and full of vitality.

Even if Duke turned his fighting spirit around, it would be difficult to drive the snake out.

In the end, it was Xiaoyi's micromanagement combined with the use of the Dou Qi Armor that successfully strangled the snake and defeated Vivian's Dou Qi.

"My lord's battle qi control is very subtle, much better than Vivian!" Vivian sincerely admired.

She had once practiced against her own knight instructor in this way. Once the instructor's fighting spirit rushed into her body, there was no way to expel it, and she could only admit defeat.

But this time, she didn't release the water at all, but was still defeated by Duke.

Under the control of Duke, the weak grudge is like a cavalry team, winning a battle with the weak against the strong.

"The vindictiveness after the breakthrough is indeed very strong." Duke carefully recalled the feeling just now, "Soft and rough, the soft part is the palm, and the rough part is the callus..."
