20. Hunting for Humanity

23:30

The old gold-plated pocket watch opened by Professor Chris shows the time.

Because Professor Chris wanted to do something deep in the swamp, Lu Li returned to the giant tree alone.

Kane could have followed him, but he was not used to getting along with Lu Li yet. His respect and humility were lame imitations, or in other words, not as natural as a real servant.

He still had a lot to learn about servants from the old housekeeper he consulted.

Lu Li inevitably encountered the gatekeeper when he returned to the giant tree.

Professor Chris's two bottles of medicine helped him avoid the tedious steps of being interrogated, purified, and wasting time by the gatekeeper.

Returning from the dark and humid lower level to the bright and warm canopy, he returned to his bedroom and Lu Li fell asleep.



The morning bell wakes up the sleeping canopy.

In the corridor, bleary-eyed junior students were arranging their collars and heading to the auditorium.

"Mr. Lu Li."

"Your Excellency Lu Li..."

They treated Lu Li as if they were a professor.

Lu Li's black trench coat and the book in his hand deepened their sense of perception.

"……study……"

Before the dog meat starts to eat, it utters short words of unknown meaning.

Gourou, who stared straight at the book Lu Li put down, tried to read out the words on the cover, but he could only recognize one word.

"It's the "Illustrated Book of Basic Subjects of Weird Knowledge." Fudot laughed at Gorou's ignorance as usual, and then asked Lu Li: "Are you preparing for the level 1 exam of Weird Knowledge?"

"Um."

"I read this book three years ago. My cousin told me that as long as I memorize the knowledge in the "Illustrated Book of Basic Subjects of Weird Knowledge", I will pass half of the level 1 test of Weird Knowledge."

So the old professor recommended this book to Lu Li.

"Then can I watch?" Gorou interrupted the conversation between Fudote and Lu Li.

"Learn to write your own name first...recognize the characters first!" Fudot paused and screamed in disgust.

Because Dogrou can really write his own name.

It is obvious. Apart from their talents, the learning progress of students is divided into three stages: illiterate commoners, literate middle class, and educated aristocrats.

These originate from nobles, families, or families with weird power. They have a higher starting point. They have been exposed to weird knowledge before they entered school, although they also suffered the price: [Knowledge is evil consequences]

After breakfast, before the mystery class started, Lu Li went to the library to borrow more books.

In addition to the books prepared for the Level 2 Occult Trial, Lu Li also borrowed introductory books on alchemy, otherworldly science, botany, and divination.

Next, Lu Li only needs to write down all the books he borrowed, and he can prepare to participate in the corresponding trial.

To a certain extent, what hindered Lu Li was not the speed of acquiring knowledge, but the cost of failing the trial.

"Weird power. People who master this ability subconsciously call it this, but Giant Tree Academy is more accustomed to calling it mysterious power to distinguish it from weird..."

In the mystery class, Professor Hagrid explained basic knowledge on the podium.

Lu Li opened the book titled "Advanced Knowledge of Occultism" and An Jing

The occult class obviously cannot keep up with Lu Li's learning progress, especially after Lu Li's occult level 1.

Professor Hagrid was a little relieved that Lu Li did not read the knowledge from other departments in the mystery class.

After the mystery class ended, Lu Li followed some students to the divination class that was taking place in another area.

The nameless lady in the Divination class has long been accustomed to students from dual-major classes arriving midway, pausing for dozens of seconds to let them sit down and continuing the lecture.

Compared with other courses, the divination class lacks basic logic and rationality because the nameless lady behaves crazily and because divination itself requires a lot of "intuition and subconscious" assistance.

Scientific alchemy is "add two-fifths of a liter of water", traditional alchemy is "a nearly full wooden bowl", if it is divination, it becomes "a half glass of water based on intuition".

However, the combination of the nameless lady's madness and divination worked surprisingly well. At least in this class, Lu Li didn't read the books he brought.

After the divination class ended, Lu Li went to the plant class for half a class, and then walked into the alchemy class after a break of nearly half an hour.

This is the last class of the morning.

Crucibles and alchemy materials were set up on the podium, and there were also a dozen alchemy tables in the first two rows.

Normally, students in practical alchemy classes would be selected to accompany the refining and required alchemy class level 1, which obviously did not include Lu Li.

"Today we are making a basic auxiliary potion, a sweet dream potion. The effect is 'Have a sweet dream.'" Professor Rubehro did not talk too much. He explained the alchemy steps while adding alchemical materials. After finishing, he walked down from the podium to guide the process.

Students of alchemy.

"The fire is too great...Vinson, you left out the toad's claw...there are so many impurities, Dorote, you added too much resurrection meat..."

There were fourteen alchemy tables, and except for two students who failed due to misremembering the experimental steps and accidentally knocking over the crucible, all the other students refined it.

After the remaining warm potions were poured into the glass test tubes, Professor Rubehro lined them up on the podium and said: "We all know that the alchemy potion requires a pass rate of 30% to be considered successful. And Alchemy Level 2

For the trial, you need to refine a basic potion with a passing rate of more than 50% to pass."

Professor Lubohero paused briefly on Lu Li and began to evaluate the potion refined by the students: "Well...Robert and Vincent, your potion has too many impurities, and the pass rate is less than 20%. Drinking it may make people do things."

Not a good dream~"

Robert and Vincent bowed their heads in shame amid laughter.

"The potion with the best effect is Mondelli's potion. I think it has a passing rate of about 60%..." Professor Rubehero picked up a potion that was as turbid as sewage, but no sediment could be seen. "

The impurities are almost invisible to the naked eye, Mr. Mondelli, if your other potions are of this quality, I can congratulate you in advance on your advancement to Alchemy Level 2."

"Then it's your turn to taste the potion next."

Professor Rubehro selected some students from the front row to take the potion, and Lu Li was among them. The Dream Potion with a 60% passing rate was given to him by Professor Rubehro.

"You need to take a good rest, Mr. Lu Li."

"Thanks."

Lu Li drank the potion, and after the grassy smell came the bitter almond smell that spread out from his taste buds, getting thicker and heavier...

"vomit"

The other students who took the medicine were so painful that they retched.

Other students poured water into their mouths and spit it out along with the water they drank.

"Because the Sweet Dream Potion contains wormwood, the more water you drink, the more bitter it becomes. Only milk and milk products can eliminate the bitter taste." Professor Rubehro's laughter rang in the classroom.

At this time, a toffee was placed on the palm of Lu Li's hand.
