Chapter 124 New record: 19 days!
In the following time, there were no other "incidents" in Gothe's life in the academy.
The threat from Gerry Harrell seems to have gone unnoticed because he followed the "clam mining stream" rather than the "mining stream".
After all, the hand of the alchemy department cannot reach the potion department.
The departments of the Magical Arts Department are not easy to deal with.
Resources are limited. If one family takes more, the other family will have to take less.
As the major departments of the Magic Arts Department, the Alchemy Department and the Potion Department have always been in a competitive relationship.
There has never been much harmony between the tutors and students in the two departments.
Gerry Harrell's status as the chief student of the Alchemy Department is indeed of little use in the Potions Department.
Since Gerry Harrell did not bother him, Gothe was naturally happy to see what happened.
He didn't think too much about whether there would be someone big waiting for him behind, and just concentrated on doing his own thing.
Building No. 30 in the first area, at the bottom of the coolie cliff and the restaurant, three points and one line, Gaode machinery generally repeats the same thing:
Go to the water to collect clams - go ashore to recover mana and restore body temperature - go to the water to collect clams - eat - practice - sleep - go to the water to collect clams.
The number of maid clams collected every day is at least 2 and at most 5.
Although he has the assistance of [Detection Magic+], Gaode's physical condition limits his area of action. He cannot and does not dare to go to the center of the river to collect clams.
The center of the river is the area with the highest concentration of maid clams.
There are indeed maid clams at the edge of the deep water area where he is active, but they are not many in number.
If it were not for "bringing your own radar", and if it were someone else who just relied on their own exploration, they might not be able to collect even one clam in a day.
It is no wonder that freshmen taking the "clam harvesting stream" take an average of more than three months to complete the task.
You must know that those who choose to "pick the clam flow", except Gao De, are extremely proficient in water properties.
Under this premise, it still takes so long, which shows how difficult it is to "collect clams".
And Gaode’s stable harvest is something that no one else can achieve.
Gao De was focused on nothing else and had no idea what kind of ripples his "results" had caused in the college over time.
He is more concerned about the fact that his savings are dwindling rapidly.
The special dishes in the college restaurant change every day and are never repeated.
The average price is close to 10 silver coins per serving, which is very expensive.
However, the special dishes provided by the restaurant have extremely obvious effects in replenishing qi and blood.
Hence, Gaode, who has been collecting clams in the water during this period, did not treat himself badly. He ordered special dishes for dinner every day.
In this case, one Sheen gold coin was only enough for his food expenses for two days.
This is the reason why his savings are decreasing rapidly - food.
…
Time passes day by day.
The 12th day of the dark night month.
The number of maid clams turned in by Gaode has reached 29, and half of the enrollment task has been completed.
It was also on this night that his guidance method made another small breakthrough, and his mana increased enough for him to cast 9 tricks in one go.
The deposit balance dropped to 217 gold and 16 silver.
The 15th of the Dark Night Moon.
38 clams were handed over to the maid.
Double happiness is coming. Gaode's apprentice meditation technique, which has been stagnant for some time, also made a breakthrough on this day, successfully manifesting the ninth lotus petal.
In the past few days, news about Gothe has slowly spread, causing the entire Sires Magic Academy to be in a state of uproar:
Someone can actually enroll with the highest treatment with a "letter of recommendation".
You must know that the last person who entered the Sires Magic Academy with the highest treatment is now a fourth-ring mage and is regarded as the next chief mage of the Palace Mage Group.
Hence, both the civilian mages who came through the admissions examination and the "second generation mages" who also came in through the back door are very resentful of Gaode's admission treatment.
The former is a commoner at the bottom and hates the so-called "privilege";
The latter, as a "privileged" class, hate beings who are more "privileged" than themselves.
Perhaps this is Gerry Harrell’s intention.
It was just his last resort to make things difficult for Gaode during the enrollment task.
The real conspiracy is to expose the admission method of Gaode, thereby provoking dissatisfaction and rejection of Gaode by most students in the college.
If you are truly a genius, or have an extraordinary background, and you enjoy this kind of privilege, even if others are unhappy, they will only keep it in their hearts.
But you are a wild mage from the countryside, with neither talent nor background, but you enjoy the highest treatment, that is, "morality is not matched", and you will naturally be targeted by others intentionally or unintentionally.
However, before everyone's dissatisfaction has fermented for a long time, new news about Gaode has emerged.
Gothe, who chose "Clam Collecting" in the admission task, is advancing the progress of the admission task at a terrifying speed.
If Gothe can maintain the current progress, it seems that the "25-day" record set by former dean Gavin Hogg will be broken.
Before this, the entire Sires College thought that Gothe was just a country bumpkin who had gotten really lucky.
But with Gaode's amazing performance in the admissions task, his reputation has also changed a little.
Although the admission task does not represent anything, it does not provide any reference for a mage's future achievements.
But no matter what, it is always particularly eye-catching that the record set by the previous dean may be broken.
Some old students have begun to bet on whether Gaode can break the record of the old dean.
Later, the bet even evolved into how many days it would take Gaode to set a new record.
The Potions Department is also very cooperative and updates the latest progress of Gaode’s admission tasks in real time every day.
Gaode had never heard of the excitement in the college and the discussion about himself, and even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care.
He now only wants to complete the enrollment task as soon as possible.
Dark Night Moon, the 16th, the 13th day of the enrollment mission.
The number of maid clams turned in by Gaode exceeded 40.
On the 17th, I was very lucky and collected 6 maid clams in one day.
On the 18th, luck was conserved, and only 2 maid clams were collected today.
19th.
21st, the 18th day of the enrollment task.
The total number of maid clams handed over by Gaode has reached 57.
He is only 150 kilograms of water gold ore, or 3 maid clams, away from completing the enrollment task.
Dark Night Moon, 22nd.
As usual, Gaode dived into the river despite the cold after the sun rose high.
Nearly half a month of collecting clams has made Gaode's water quality improve very quickly.
Compared to the beginning, it is already very different.
It's just that his clam harvesting progress didn't improve much.
Because the number of maid clams at the edge of the deep water area is limited, every one you pick is one less.
The further back you go, the harder it is to find a maid clam.
That is to say, with [Detection Magic+], a carpet search can be carried out, so that Gaode can maintain the steady advancement of his clam harvesting progress.
Gothe dived into the water again and wandered around in this familiar area at the bottom of the river.
The light representing the detection of magic in his eyes flickered slightly.
The next moment, a magical light flickered from a corner of the river bottom, shining into Gothe's eyes.
His heart moved, he kicked his feet and quickly approached the corner.
Then he reached out his hand and gently pushed aside the sedimented sand, and sure enough, he touched a clam shell.
Gao Deping calmed the throbbing in his heart and swept away all the mud and sand around the clam shell.
Then, he picked up the maid clam with both hands, kicked his legs violently, and floated to the surface of the river.
On the river beach, instructor Shahu has been waiting for Gaode to appear.
He is also aware of and concerned about the progress of Gaode's enrollment tasks.
"Why did you show up so quickly this time? Is there something gained?" Instructor Shahu was a little surprised when he saw Gaode's head sticking out of the river.
Have been following this group of new students for more than half a month. He knows that every time Gaode enters the water, he has to dive for more than three minutes before he emerges.
It has only been a minute or two since he dived.
Gaode didn’t know about Instructor Shahu’s psychological activities.
He put the newly collected maid clams into a basket tied to the safety post, then untied the rope, put the basket on his back, and swam to the shore.
It’s really done. Seeing Gaode’s action, how could Instructor Shahu not know what it meant.
Gaode quickly went ashore, put the backpack aside, and put on his clothes.
"Many years have passed since Dean Gavin set this record. Everyone thought that no new student would break this record." The three maids, Clam, took a long breath and sighed: "It only took you 19 days to complete the enrollment task. This is only one-third of the average time it takes for other freshmen to complete the enrollment task."
Gaode nodded sympathetically, "If we take the mining route, I don't think any new student can break this record in another hundred years."
3,000 kilograms of hydrogold ore, completed in 25 days, an average of 120 kilograms a day.
Unless there are new students who can reach the 1st level mage level when they enter school, it will be really difficult to break this record without the blessing of spells.
As for him.
The clam mining stream and the mining stream are not the same track.
Hence why the Clam Mining Flow broke the record set by Dean Gavin Hogg’s Mining Flow, Gothe was not complacent, and even thought that he had taken advantage.
But no matter what, the academy recognizes this record.
This is enough!
