The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 18, Apprentice Graduation

Well~ most of the so-called references are from Fugate’s collection. After all, apart from Fugate, there are very few people in the whole Xumi who study brain science.

In addition to these apprentices from Fuget's lineage, the few remaining ones are also conducting extended research according to Fuget's research direction. Currently, the one with the highest academic level is almost an apprentice Datsa, and the rest are Dilyasins.

The main reason for the appearance of these people was that Fugate donated many of his books to the great library of Xumi in order to obtain some privileges of borrowing books.

By the way, the books donated by Fugate were copied by the apprentices - after they did something wrong, Fugate would sometimes punish them by making them copy the books that they remembered incorrectly or did not understand well enough.

After they completed the brain development training, such problems basically never occurred again.

So in fact, there are only a few brain science books in the Xumi Library, and they are all relatively basic.

Well, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say there are not many books. There are still about 200 books. However, compared with the growing number of book collections in Bivergate, which now has a collection of about 2,000 books, these 200 basic books are really nothing.

After completing the thesis, Batu took it to the Ministry of Education to hand it in.

By the way, he also took away the finished alchemical potion of Improvement Plan No. 24.

Because the alchemical techniques have been greatly improved, the alchemical potion of the 24th improvement plan is very simple to refine. Although the effect of the potion is temporary, the efficacy is really good.

The first author is of course Fugate, after all, the improvement plan No. 24 was almost complete before they joined, but they also put their names in the corners of the paper, after all, they also contributed to the subsequent improvements and writing.

And this name in the corner is enough for these guys who are still students.

At the very least, I can improve my scores a lot when I graduate, and it will be much easier to become a Diliyesi.

However, when Batu returned to Liuchong Manor the next day, he looked exhausted.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Fugate, who was eating, with amusement.

"Those idiots in the House of Religious Orders..." Batu helplessly told about what he saw and heard in the House of Religious Orders.

Including instructing those idiots on how to prepare potions and so on.

“It’s not possible that the House of the Decrees cannot even produce an alchemist of this average level,” said Fuget.

"Those alchemists are not here today... The one assigned here is a senior who just graduated a few months ago." Batu said.

"A Sipanthamo who just graduated? That's really bad." Fugate didn't mean to belittle the graduates of his own academy, but if one is not a student specializing in alchemy potions, it would be very difficult to configure the potion of Improvement Plan No. 24.

Even if you are a student specializing in alchemy and potion, you have to be good enough.

Although this thing couldn't be easier for Fugate and his apprentices, it was still quite difficult for those guys.

Well~ As far as Fuget knows, it seems that the most recent graduates of the Alchemy and Potion Department can be traced back to two years ago.

In other words, the guy who just graduated should be from the geomancy department or the elemental department.

Fugate could already imagine what had happened.

At this time, the other apprentices would naturally say to Batu, "Batu, you have worked hard, you are so pitiful."

"You always have to adapt to the IQ of normal people in the outside world." said Fugate.

When several people heard this, they immediately sighed again.

After spending so much time with my tutor and fellow students, I can usually explain everything clearly in just a few sentences.

But outsiders obviously don't have such tacit understanding and intelligence. They need to be reminded in detail over and over again.

It's really distressing.

"Breakfast is over, and today's research will begin soon. It will still be a sustained-release solution based on peach. I thought about it yesterday..." Fugate expressed his thoughts.

The other apprentices were just supplementing the staff.

Then, after everyone had assigned their research tasks, they began to take action on their own.

More than half an hour later, Fugate completed the refining of the new and improved potion.

"Kulu medicinal properties identification." Fugate handed the medicine to the person who had been waiting in front of the medicinal properties analysis instrument.
"Impurity standard 0.0012, meets the standard."

"The drug's activity has decreased and has reached the expected standard."

Fergate nodded, swallowed the potion in one gulp and said, "The activation speed has slowed down. The Dun Dun Tao sustained-release agent can be considered a successful improvement. The side effects have been greatly reduced to an acceptable range. However, there are also disadvantages. The potion's permanent development effect on the brain has also been reduced."

"But there is good news, which is that the cost of the medicine has been reduced to an acceptable level. After all, the price of Dun Dun Tao sustained-release agent is much better than that of Patisalan sustained-release agent." Baanka said.

"Continue to make fine adjustments. This potion has finally reached the final stage." Fuget exclaimed with shining eyes.

The Fgate intelligence development potion has entered the final stage. All that is left is to complete the design of the standard alchemical potion refining process, and the potion can basically be considered mature.

However, Fugate is not currently planning to announce the results of this medicine.

The other apprentices thought the same, but they didn't want to monopolize the potion.

The main reason is that they just developed the so-called [Fuget Intelligence Amplification Potion] (the official name of Improvement Plan No. 24) yesterday, and today they came up with an even more BT one. What will the House of Lords think of this?

More importantly, apart from a few of them, no one else can complete the refining of the [Fgate Intelligence Development Potion].

As long as they are not stupid and do not want to become alchemical tools of the top leaders of the Order, then it would be better for this potion to be released later.

······
"Teacher, what are you going to study next?" Xia Mian asked curiously.

In the past two days, these apprentices have completed their graduation defense, and their respective research topics and papers have also been completed. The House of Religion is discussing the apprentices of Fugate. The House of Religion does not plan to let them graduate all at once, but the students' achievements are indeed good.

Therefore, the bigwigs in the House of Religious Orders were indeed somewhat conflicted.

In the end, Shamian and Kuru, two of Fuget's most promising students, gave up graduation and chose to continue studying with Fuget. The other four successfully graduated and became the lowest-level scholar, Diliyesi.

In fact, Hetala also wanted to stay, but she was backstabbed by her maid, and the family wanted to call her back, so she had no choice.

However, Fuget told her not to worry about her studies, because although Diliyesi was already a scholar, she did not have the ability to conduct independent research projects, so nominally speaking, if she wanted to continue to advance in her academic rank, she still had to be listed under Fuget.

Until she was promoted to a novice datsa.

Then Fugate held a party to celebrate the graduation of the apprentices and to see off other apprentices.

"Teacher, won't you recruit some other students?" Xia Mian asked curiously.

"No need to recruit students, because what I need to study next doesn't actually require too many people." Fuget said, "And even if they become Diliyeshi, they are still listed in name only with me, and there will be a lot of correspondence in the future."

"But it's still surprising that you can continue to be my students," said Fugate.

"After all, I won't have any promotion spots for Diliyeshi in the next few years."

The students that Fgate taught were in a small elite class that was closer to a traditional apprenticeship system than a system of taking classes in a college.

In fact, Fugate was also invited to teach, but he refused.

In fact, if Fuget is interested in developing in the Xumi officialdom, it is no problem for him to teach, because teaching in the academy will make it faster to be promoted to Hebandu. Brother Muyefan is the one who taught geomantic studies in the Sipandama Academy. However, Fuget wants to conduct academic research on his own, so it is okay to occasionally teach public classes on brain science and consciousness, but don't think about it more often.

Besides, there are actually relatively few vegetarian students who go to listen to Fugate's open classes. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of students from the life theory school, because the Health Home has now introduced a lot of knowledge and concepts from brain science books. These knowledge and concepts can help alleviate patients' injuries and ease their mentality.

This led to many of Fugate's students of the life theory school becoming very interested in brain science and consciousness studies, which really puzzled Fugate.

"What we care about is the growth of academic ability. We can learn a lot from the instructor." Xia Mian said, "But then again, the instructor is going to study something next."

Kuru also looked at Fuget with burning eyes.

"For the next research, let's study the seven elemental forces together." Fuget said, "After studying the seven elemental forces, I plan to study mechanical arts. Although we are original gods and have good strength, we are still far from those truly powerful ones."

"We need to have stronger strength to carry out the subsequent research, so studying the seven elemental powers is a very good choice."

"The power of the elements is the law of the world."

"Our next research will be very complicated, so we need to expand our knowledge. It is not enough if we only have the knowledge of alchemy."

Xia Mian was vaguely uneasy, but also a little excited when he asked, "Doctor, do you have any big plans?"

Fuget touched his chin and said, "The plan is not a huge one. It is just to liberate more of my essence."

Fugate also decided that it was time to slowly reveal some of the plans to his two apprentices.

After all, they are already on board the pirate ship.

This is the good thing about the apprenticeship system. If something happens to Fget, none of the apprentices can escape. Even Hetala, who has already returned home, will be implicated.

The two apprentices looked at each other and then listened carefully.

After listening to Fugate's grand plan spanning more than six hundred years, the two apprentices were at a loss for ideas.

Xia Mian raised his hand and asked weakly: "What if something goes wrong?"

"If anything goes wrong, it's fine." Fuget said nonchalantly, "I plan to bury myself at the age of 66. By then, I will have lived enough. If something goes wrong, I will die at best. But if it succeeds, your mentor will become an immortal."

Now Fugate is 37 years old and has been in Xumi City for nearly seven years, but these seven years have not been very good. A few years ago, he could only stay awake for half an hour a day, and most of this half hour was spent answering their questions.

Now, in the six hours, the tutor can only enjoy himself during breakfast and lunch, and is busy the rest of the time.

After thinking about it, they both knew why the instructor did this, so they nodded speechlessly, indicating that the instructor was really a smart person.

However, they are quite understanding of their mentor. After all, although they have never experienced that state of self-destruction, they have often experienced a state of emotional suppression close to that state.

I know that it is a very bad experience, and my teacher is only awake for six hours out of twenty-four hours, and the remaining eighteen hours are spent in this experience.

"Speaking of Xia Mian, is there anything you need to research next?" asked Fuget.

What he meant was that he currently had plenty of free time and could help his two students solve some problems.

"Hmm? The Hall of Silence has always wanted to inherit the power of Hermanubis." Xiamian pondered for a while and said, "Or inherit the wisdom of Hermanubis. In short, we need to enhance our perception. I wonder if the mentor has done any research in this area."

"I actually have this." Fugate said with a strange look on his face, "Come with me."

As he spoke, he brought the two of them to the second floor of the Six-Story Manor.

Compared to the first floor which has a strong work and life atmosphere, the second floor is very refined in terms of decoration and everything else... well, so refined that there is almost no atmosphere of life.

"This is the place where I was treated for my obsessive-compulsive disorder." Fuget explained carefully, "This place is full of the power of the Holy Number Ritual, so you'd better keep pace with me."

The three of them came to Fugate's study, where various mechanical parts and academic works of the Miaolun School, Minglun School and Zhilun School were neatly arranged...

Fgate took out a notebook from the bookshelf, which was a little dusty.

Fugate scratched his head and said, "This is the notebook that was first used to study H emotion inhibitors. The first version actually had a component that could expand one's own perception, but later I thought it was redundant, so I removed that component from the drug."

Fugate turned the page and handed it to Xiamian, who nodded. He knew his mentor's habits. He should have studied it before removing it, otherwise how would he know that this thing had the function of expanding perception.

"Thank you, mentor." Xiamian wrote down the alchemical method of synthesis and returned it to Fuget.

"By the way, is there nothing Kuru wants?"

"I really don't have that." Kuru said, "If I must ask, is there any alchemical potion that can improve and strengthen the entire human body? My parents worked too hard when they were young, and now their health is not as good as before. My eldest and second brothers are also very distressed about this."

"There is no alchemical potion that can directly enhance the human body, but there is no problem with alchemical potions that can improve the body," said Fugate.

"Just use the No. 3 nutritional supplement that we use daily. Well, it's better to put less sugar. After all, eating too much sugar is not good if it is not digested, and it is easy to make you fat." Xia Mian replied.

The No. 3 nutritional supplement that Xia Mian mentioned was developed by Fugate in order to save meal time and replenish the body with a large amount of energy and vitamins that are in short supply.

But the taste is not good. Unless it is an emergency, Fugate would rather eat. The same goes for others, who prefer to drink juice and mixed sparkling water.

Even if this replenishes energy and vitamins more slowly.

However, if you just want to improve your physical condition, this No. 3 nutritional supplement does meet the requirements, because it really contains everything and can replenish everything.

Fugate nodded and added, "Don't spend the whole day studying element theory. We can also learn a little bit about the theory of life. A healthy body is the origin of everything."

"Yes, mentor." Kuru nodded.

The three of them then spent some pleasant research time.

However, the research of the three people soon fell into a new bottleneck. The mechanical skills of the Church of God were quickly learned by Fget and others. If they wanted to continue learning, they would need to go to the desert and personally dismantle the energy mechanism made by the Red King.

However, the three of them were not in a hurry to go to the desert, because Fuget had not saved enough money to start the plan, so they planned to study the Sulun School's main business, geomancy, and by the way, let Kuru and Xiamian obtain the academic rank of Diliyeshi. Of course, more importantly, they wanted to defraud a large amount of research funds from the Ministry of Education.

This is easier to solve. Fuget is a student of Ella, the master of geomancy, so the College of the Order fully supports Fuget's research.

Fugate's research direction of earth veins is quite strange. His research direction is how to extract earth vein energy.

The earth veins even have their own attributes, so many people are still researching devices to extract universal earth vein energy, but most of them have returned empty-handed.

However, I don’t know if it’s because they were too confident in Fget’s abilities, so they still approved a large sum of money.

When Xia Mian saw this huge sum of money, he really didn't know what to say... Such a large sum of money was comparable to the monthly operating funds allocated by the Ministry of Justice to the entire Hall of Silence.

And...Xamien looked at the machine in his hand and fell into deep thought.

In fact, the prototype of this machine was designed by Fugate a long time ago. Going to various places to collect geomagnetic data is actually a more official statement. The correct statement is that Fugate wants to go out for a walk and see the scenery of Xumi...

The thief did not leave empty-handed, so he used the machine that had been designed long ago to defraud some funds... and then the Ministry of Education actually gave it.

"Ah~" Xia Mian didn't know what to say.

All I can say is that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.
