Chapter 169 Harvest
Medicine Garden No. 11.
Gaode came to the medicine field that he claimed.
This medicinal field, which he carefully cared for, has changed a lot from the beginning. .
Looking up, you can see a lush green seedling mixed with yellow and purple buds.
The medicine field specially developed by the college is controlled by magic circles and mages, and magic crystals are regularly supplied to nourish the medicine field, making every inch of the medicine field contain extremely rich magic power.
With the support of sufficient magic power, although it has only been a month and a half since the planting, both the zero-level magic plant Alocasia Fruit and the first-level magic plant thorn fruit have already grown buds at this moment.
The branches of the thorn fruit seedlings are even covered with fine sharp thorns.
The quality of thorn fruits can be predicted by the growth of spikes on the branches.
Obviously, these thorn fruit magic plants are growing very gratifyingly under Gothe's careful care.
Thirty alocasia seeds and ten thorn fruit seeds all sprouted, and not a single one was dead.
According to this situation, it is obviously not a big problem to get a perfect score in this "Magic Plant Cultivation" course.
Gaode nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, he poured the medicinal solution he had prepared into different amounts according to the different varieties and growth conditions of the seedlings.
His heart was filled with joy.
不是欣喜于即将取得的好成绩——事实上不论是前世还是今生，对于取得好成绩这一回事，高德都已经有些麻木了。
At this moment, it has been a week since he finished all three courses with full marks.
At the beginning of the Frozen Moon, Sires College suddenly made waves because of his sixteen courses.
At the beginning of the winter solstice, it was because of his three-wicket perfect score that there was another sensation.
The attendance rate of these three courses is second to none in the college.
It can be said that more than 90% of the students in the college have taken at least one of the courses and participated in the assessment of one of the courses.
You will understand only if you have experienced it.
So, almost every student can understand how difficult it is to obtain full marks in the final examination of these three courses.
Some people are admired, some are shocked, and some are jealous. All kinds of emotions can be summarized in five words:
"Is this still a human being?"
The calmest person about this matter is Gao De, the victim himself.
In the world of "academic masters", in fact, you often know your results when you "answer the questions".
Perfect scores in three doors, which is a bit unexpected, but basically within the range of Gaode's own prediction.
Hence, he was very calm after knowing the result.
Having taken three courses, there are still thirteen courses left.
The credits have only accumulated to 15 points, and he has not yet caught up with Youlan's starting line.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to continue to work hard.
Gaode is still very busy and doesn't have much thought to show off his pride, and he has nothing to show off.
This world is, after all, the world of mages.
Serys Academy is also a mage academy.
Hence, the mage level is the basis of everything.
With this foundation, other things will have added value.
Gaode saw things thoroughly.
Just like the reason why he is happy now is entirely because after these medicinal materials mature, 20% of the harvest will belong to him.
This is a very reasonable price. After all, for the growth of magic plants, the most important medicinal fields and seeds are produced by the academy.
What Gaode paid was his own labor and the cost of preparing some culture solutions.
The 20% of the harvest can be used either for personal use or sold to the college.
The harvest of a first-level magic plant is approximately worth 12-15 gold.
Under the most ideal harvest situation, the price offered by Thornberry College can reach 15 gold.
Two achievements are 3 gold.
Ten thorn fruits can bring 30 gold benefits to Gaode.
Alocasia fruit is a level 0 magic plant, and the purchase price offered by the academy is only 3 gold, and the price for level 2 is 12 silver.
30 alocasia fruits are equivalent to 360 silver.
The two magic plants combined can bring a total of 48 gold benefits to Gaode.
It costs about 15 gold to prepare the culture medium. After deducting this part of the expenditure, the income is still 33 gold.
Two and a half months, which is when the seeds start to germinate, is busier.
The rest of the time is just killing insects, watering, and fertilizing, which takes less than an hour on average every day.
Such labor intensity can bring 2 credits and 33 gold benefits.
Gaode still thinks this is a very good deal.
It is a pity that the college’s medicine fields are the assets of the college. Unless there are special circumstances such as final assessment, they will generally not be contracted to students.
Otherwise, a highly virtuous person would have to be a real farmer at Seris College and contract a large area of medicinal fields.
If you can become the chief student of the Potions Department, as a benefit, you can claim a medicine field from the college every year.
Even though the growth of magic plants requires extremely high magic power and fertility, the planting density is low.
But according to the academy's standards, a medicine field can also plant about fifty first-level magic plants.
How much money can you make after this school year?
Thinking that Shadi, as the chief student of the Potions Department, is most likely a wealthy person, Gao De was a little envious.
Should we also take Potions as an elective next school year?
Subconsciously, Gaode began to think about it.
The winter solstice month passed by in a flash.
Meanwhile, on the 20th, the apprentice guidance method of Gaodexiu received another improvement after 53 days, and his total magic power officially reached 12 levels of magic.
At the end of the month, the "Magic Plant Cultivation" course also ushered in the final assessment.
With 30 well-growing alocasia trees and 10 thorn fruit trees, Gaode obtained another perfect score without any surprise, and the credits reached 17 points.
The full score of this practical-oriented course has also disproven the conclusion that was circulated some time ago that "Gaode is only good at theoretical knowledge".
The assessment and scoring are over, and it’s time to harvest the magic plants in the medicine field.
The step of harvesting and gathering is carried out by the potions department sending personnel.
It is not only to help, but also to prevent students from hiding part of their harvest.
"You used to be a farmer in the countryside, right?" At the edge of the medicine field, Shadi, who was assigned to inspect the harvest, half sighed and half ridiculed.
Another month has passed, and the fully ripe alocasia fruits and thorn fruits in the medicinal fields are hanging on the branches, hanging down naturally, plump and attractive.
"I just have a little interest and talent in planting." Gao De said modestly.
The predecessor worked in the medicine garden for a long time. Although the cultivation was not magic plants but ordinary herbs, it was still in the same field as the cultivation of magic plants and had many things in common.
In addition, his theoretical knowledge has become more and more solid now, and he is usually very interested in these magic plants. It is reasonable to have such a harvest.
"You got perfect marks in "Cultivation of Magic Plants", although I also got perfect marks in this course at the beginning. But you also got perfect marks in "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials". This is the class taught by Joseph's tutor. Even I got a score in the early 80s"
"You should join our Potions Department!" Sadie sighed with emotion.
Although Gothe did have this idea, in the end he felt that the rune system was more suitable for him, so he gave up the idea.
Faced with Sadie's emotion, he just smiled and said: "This is just a branch of Potions. It does not mean that I can learn Potions well."
"That's true." Sadie raised her eyebrows. To learn Potions well, you need to have a certain talent.
As the chief student of the Potions Department, there is no doubt that she is the one with a certain amount of talent, and she is somewhat proud of this.
While speaking, the Potion Department student in charge of the Gaode Medicine Field had completed the harvesting and weighing work, and reported the final results.
"The total harvest of thorn berries is 9 pounds and 8 ounces, and you get 20%. I can make the final decision on your 2 pounds. The total harvest of calla lily fruits is 34 pounds and 3 ounces, and you get 7 pounds." Shadi looked at the harvest figures reported by the students and calculated them for Gaode.
She added a few odd bits to Gaode to make up the whole number, which can be regarded as providing a small benefit to Gaode.
Although it is not much, it makes people feel very comfortable.
"According to this year's prices, the purchase price of thorn fruit is 15 gold per pound, and the purchase price of alocasia fruit is 3 gold per pound."
"Do you want to keep your share, or sell it to the college?"
"Sell it to the college." Gaode did some mental calculations and found that the final income was almost the same as what he had previously estimated. Most of the extra 3 gold came from Shadi's help.
Gothe's decision was not what Sadie expected.
She nodded, took out a settlement form that had been sealed by the potion department, and filled in the detailed details and her name.
She then handed it to Gaode and asked Gaode to sign her name on the settlement form and print her fingerprints. She took out the purse and counted out 51 gold coins to settle the bill with Gaode.
