Above the mage

Chapter 128 Leak-Free Water

After nearly two hours of cultivation, Gao De opened his eyes.

"It's not as effective as a basic magic potion, but it's still nearly 40% more efficient," he thought to himself, sensing his progress.

After taking the basic magic potion, one day's cultivation progress is equivalent to five days of "naked cultivation".

In the basic training room, one day's progress is equivalent to two days' progress in "naked training".

The difference between the two is still obvious, but the former costs 2 gold coins a day, while the latter costs 0!

As expected of the renowned Seres Academy, these training rooms are available for free.

Putting aside everything else, just relying on the free training rooms, it will only take one or two years for the students of Seres Academy to widen the gap in mage level with mages who do not have access to training rooms.

"Let's try the first-level training room tomorrow," Gao De decided.

The training speed improved by the basic training room is acceptable, but it is still not enough to satisfy Gao De.

If he uses a first-level training room, the speed should meet his expectations.

He had just met the credit requirements for renting a first-level training room.

After finishing his cultivation, Gao De swiped his identity badge again, returned it to the basic cultivation room, left the cultivation building, and went to the restaurant.

Today's restaurant specialty is: Devil's Tail.

Despite its unusual name, "Devil's Tail" is actually excessively normal compared to the restaurant's previous signature dishes.

Because it is actually a sausage made primarily of venison, marinated in salt and spices.

Its specialty is venison.

The special effect after consuming it was that Gaode felt much more energetic.

Moreover, the taste is quite good. The venison is rich and flavorful, and the spices are spicy and fragrant. They are intertwined and instantly awaken the taste buds.

In fact, the specialty dishes offered in the college cafeteria, besides having some additional "medicinal" effects, share another common characteristic:

No matter how exotic the ingredients are, the taste is actually quite good.

……

Back to Building 30 in Zone 1.

Gaode arrived at the small kitchen on the first floor.

There was a clay pot there.

With a thought, Gao De's magical power flowed, and the previously empty pottery jar seemed to have gained an invisible spring, gushing out liquid.

Within seconds, two gallons of liquid appeared in the earthenware jar.

[Water Creation Technique+]

Gao De sniffed, and as expected, he could smell the rich, sweet aroma of honey again.

Since arriving at Cyrus Academy, he has continued to draw a card every day.

So far, all they've released is the "minimum" honey water.

He had become accustomed to it and hardly had any expectations anymore, simply driven by habit to "draw one ticket a day".

In addition, honey water is indeed easier to drink than plain water.

Drinking honey water every day is better than drinking plain water every day.

However, this time, Gaode did not smell that familiar sweet scent.

He was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized:

This means the goods have been shipped!

The next moment, a message appeared in Gaode's mind like an inspiration.

"Water without leakage."

"The human body is constantly losing energy, and drinking water that is free of leaks can reduce the loss of energy in the body."

Yes, this time the random liquid created by [Water Creation+] is no longer honey water, but a mysterious liquid called "Leak-Free Water".

Prior to this, Gaode had never heard of "leak-free water".

Fortunately, the inspiration sparked by the [Water Creation Technique+] revealed the function of "Leak-Free Water".

"Reduce the body's energy loss?" Gao De pondered for a moment and felt that it could be roughly understood as "lowering metabolism"?

All human activities require energy, including even the simplest act of breathing.

This corresponds exactly to the idea that "the human body is constantly releasing energy."

The purpose of "leak-free water" is to reduce this consumption.

The benefits should be better physical fitness and more energy?

That seems like a reasonable way to understand it for now.

However, considering that this is a supernatural world, the energy dissipated by the human body should not only be heat, but also more related to supernatural powers.

"Why not try it and see?" Anyway, this leak-free water seemed harmless, so Gao De simply stopped pondering and went straight to "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs".

He scooped up a large cup of "leak-free water," and before he even took a sip, a peculiar and delicate fragrance wafted towards him.

This smells so good?

Not only does it smell good, but after tasting the "leak-free water," Gaode found that its taste was even more remarkable.

It's a bit like fruit wine, sweet and sour and refreshing, but with a slightly stimulating and refreshing sensation, like soda.

In addition, it has a sweet aftertaste that can be savored continuously, which is similar to tea.

In short, this is the best-tasting thing Gaode has ever had since he came into this world.

Attracted by the flavor, he drank several more cups in one go, drinking almost a liter before stopping.

Most importantly, after drinking the "leak-free water," Gao De felt as if his whole body was clear and transparent, and he became exceptionally energetic.

The fatigue from cultivation seemed to have dissipated considerably.

"Wait a minute." Gao De suddenly realized.

The two factors that limit a monk's cultivation time are mental strength and mental fatigue.

Mental energy can be restored through meditation, but the fatigue generated during cultivation can only be recovered through rest.

Therefore, each monk has a limited amount of time for daily practice.

If you force yourself to "practice more" despite feeling tired, not only will you achieve less with more effort, but it will also affect your practice the next day, which is not worth it.

Now, Gao De clearly feels that the fatigue he felt from his cultivation has dissipated considerably.

It was as if I had taken a nap.

"Does that mean I can continue my cultivation?"

Once the idea popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.

Gao De went to the meditation room on the second floor, sat down cross-legged, and began to try to run the guided meditation again.

Time slips away quietly.

Half an hour later.

Gao De suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's not an illusion?!" He was both surprised and astonished.

After drinking the "water of no leakage," his time available for cultivation was indeed extended by half an hour.

"Why isn't the leak-free water a guaranteed minimum?!" Gao De clenched his fists angrily.

Having experienced the wonder of the leak-free water, he naturally wished he could drink it every day.

However, after so many days, this is the first time that Gaode has obtained "leak-free water" through the [Water Creation Technique+].

It is clear that the "drop rate" of "leak-free water" is not high.

What frustrates Gaode the most is that the "leak-free water" can only exist for one natural day before it automatically dissipates.

Thinking of this, he got up and went back to the kitchen, where he drank nearly a liter of "leak-free water" again.

Two gallons of "leak-free water" is nearly ten liters.

Gao De decided to drink all of the two gallons of "leak-free water" on this day, without wasting a single drop!

Dark Night Moon, 23th.

Gao De woke up half an hour earlier than usual.

Last night, I slept exceptionally well after drinking the "leak-free water".

After waking up, Gao De felt incredibly energetic, clear-headed, and in much better condition than before.

Even after a whole night, I didn't feel much hunger.

The wonder of the leak-free water continues to unfold.

So Gaode went to the kitchen and gulped down nearly two liters of "leak-free water".

Now he was no longer hungry at all.

Gao De maintained his good habits and exercised according to the training plan he had set out.

During this training process, Gao De clearly felt that his physical exertion was also reduced.

So he simply increased the intensity of his training.

After finishing his workout, Gao De went to the washroom to rinse off, changed into the standard student uniform issued by the academy, and left Building 30 in Zone 1.

It's time to report to my advisor.
