Chapter 128

~8 min read 1,475 words

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

"It doesn't compare to a Basic Mana Potion, but it still has nearly forty percent of the efficiency," he thought to himself as he felt his progress.

After consuming a Basic Mana Potion, one day of cultivation progress is equivalent to five days of "bare cultivation."

Meanwhile, practicing in a basic cultivation room makes one day of progress equivalent to two days of "bare cultivation."

The gap between the two is quite obvious, but the former costs 2 gold coins per day, while the latter costs 0!

As expected of the long-renowned Sairui Academy, such a cultivation room can actually be used for free. To say nothing else, relying solely on the free cultivation room, Sairui Academy students can widen the gap in magic user rank against those who have no access to cultivation rooms in just a year or two.

"I'll try a first-rank cultivation room tomorrow," Gao De decided.

The cultivation speed boost from the basic cultivation room is decent, but it still cannot satisfy Gao De.

If he uses a first-rank cultivation room, he imagines the speed will reach his expectations.

He also happens to have reached the credit requirements to rent a first-rank cultivation room.

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

Today's specialty dish at the cafeteria is: Demon's Tail.

Don't let the name sound abnormal; compared to the specialty dishes the cafeteria provided before, this "Demon's Tail" is actually excessively normal.

Because it is actually just sausage made primarily from venison, cured with salt and spices.

The specialty lies in the venison.

The special effect after eating it is that Gao De feels his spirit is much more refreshed.

Moreover, the taste is also quite good; the venison is mellow, the spices are pungent and fragrant, and they intertwine to instantly awaken the taste buds.

In fact, the specialty dishes provided by the academy cafeteria, besides having some extra "dietary therapy" effects, also have a common feature: no matter how bizarre the ingredients are, the taste is actually quite decent.

Returning to Building 30 in the First District.

Gao De came to the small kitchen on the first floor.

There sat a clay pot.

Gao De's heart stirred, and as mana flowed, the previously empty clay pot seemed to have an invisible spring emerge, gushing out liquid.

In a few seconds, two gallons of liquid appeared in the clay pot.

【Water Creation+】.

Gao De sniffed; if things went as expected, he would smell the rich, sweet scent of honey again.

Since arriving at Sairui Academy, he has persisted with his "daily draw."

But so far, all that has come out is the "guaranteed" honey water.

He has become accustomed to it and almost no longer holds high expectations, just driven by habit to perform the "daily draw."

Besides, 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, Gao De did not smell that familiar sweet scent.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:

This is a "hit"!

The next moment, a piece of information surfaced in Gao De's mind like an inspiration.

"Water of No Leakage."

"The human body is constantly dissipating energy; drinking the Water of No Leakage can reduce the body's energy dissipation."

Yes, the random liquid created by 【Water Creation+】 this time is no longer honey water, but a mysterious liquid called "Water of No Leakage."

Before this, Gao De had never heard of "Water of No Leakage."

Fortunately, the inspiration triggered by 【Water Creation+】 informed him of the function of the "Water of No Leakage."

"Reduce the body's energy dissipation?" Gao De pondered for a moment, feeling it could be roughly understood as "lowering metabolism"? Human activities all require energy consumption, including the simplest breathing, which is the same.

This corresponds exactly to the so-called "human body is constantly dissipating energy."

And the function of the "Water of No Leakage" is to reduce this consumption.

The benefit brought should be better physical fitness and more energy?

It seems it can be understood this way for now.

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

"Why not just try it and find out?" Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this Water of No Leakage has no harm, so Gao De simply stopped guessing and went straight to "Shennong tasting the hundred herbs." He scooped up a large cup of "Water of No Leakage," and before it even touched his lips, a peculiar and ethereal fragrance rushed toward him.

This stuff smells so good? It's not just good-smelling; after the "Water of No Leakage" actually entered his mouth, Gao De found its taste even more commendable.

It's a bit like fruit wine, sour, sweet, and crisp, but also carries a slight stimulating sensation, like soda.

In addition, there is an aftertaste that can be savored continuously, which is similar to tea leaves.

In short, this is the best-tasting thing Gao De has ever drunk since coming to this world.

Attracted by this taste, he drank several cups in one breath, stopping only after drinking nearly a liter.

Most importantly, after drinking the "Water of No Leakage," Gao De felt as if his whole body had become transparent and exceptionally energetic.

The fatigue brought on by cultivation also seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Wait..." Gao De suddenly realized.

What limits a magic user's cultivation time is, first, mental power, and second, the fatigue brought by the spirit.

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

Therefore, every magic user's daily cultivation time is limited.

If one stubbornly "adds training" while exhausted, it's not just half the result for twice the effort, but it will also affect the next day's cultivation, which is not worth the loss.

And now, Gao De clearly felt that the fatigue he had generated from cultivation had dissipated a lot.

It was as if he had taken a nap.

"Does that mean I can continue to cultivate?"

Once this thought emerged, it could no longer be suppressed.

Gao De came to the meditation room on the second floor, sat cross-legged, and began to try running the guidance method again.

Time passed quietly.

Half an hour later.

Gao De opened his eyes abruptly.

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

After drinking the "Water of No Leakage," his cultivatable time had actually been extended by half an hour.

"Why isn't the Water of No Leakage a guaranteed item!" Gao De clenched his fists bitterly.

After experiencing the magic of the Water of No Leakage, he naturally wished he could drink it every day.

However, after so many days, this was the first time Gao De had obtained "Water of No Leakage" through 【Water Creation+】.

It can be seen that the "drop rate" of "Water of No Leakage" is not high.

What makes Gao De most uncomfortable is that "Water of No Leakage" can only exist for one natural day before it automatically dissipates.

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the kitchen again, gulping down nearly another liter of "Water of No Leakage."

Two gallons of "Water of No Leakage" is nearly ten liters in quantity.

Gao De decided that within this day, he would drink all two gallons of "Water of No Leakage" clean, not wasting a single drop! Dark Night Moon, 23rd.

Gao De woke up half an hour earlier than usual.

Last night, he slept exceptionally soundly after drinking the "Water of No Leakage."

And after waking up, Gao De felt even more energetic, his mind clear, and his state was much better than before.

Even after a whole night, his body did not generate much hunger.

The magic of the Water of No Leakage was still showing.

So Gao De came to the kitchen and, with a gulping sound, drank nearly two more liters of "Water of No Leakage."

This time, he was completely not hungry.

Gao De maintained his good habits and, according to the training plan he had formulated, exercised his body.

And during this training process, Gao De clearly felt that his physical exertion was also a bit less.

So he simply increased the training intensity a bit.

After exercising, he went to the washroom to rinse off, changed into the standard student uniform issued by the academy, and Gao De left Building 30 in the First District.

It was time to go report to his mentor.
