Chapter 134

~7 min read 1,340 words

After Jielika returned the tin water bottle to Gao De, the two parted ways.

Although she felt that the "Water of No Leakage" given by Gao De was delicious, Jielika didn't take it too much to heart.

However, after returning to her room, just a few minutes later, Jielika suddenly discovered:

She clearly hadn't drunk any physical recovery potion, but her physical strength had inexplicably recovered a lot.

It's not just physical strength... A brand new vitality is gushing out from her body.

Jielika, who was exhausted physically and mentally from mining, was nourished at this moment as if she had received sweet rain after a long drought... What is going on?

In the room, Gao De had just opened "A Little Conjecture on Specialty Awakening."

"As everyone knows"

The sudden ringing of the doorbell pulled his attention away.

Gao De opened the door with suspicion, only to find that the visitor was Jielika, whom he had just parted with.

"Miss Jielika, is there anything?"

"What you gave me to drink just now... what is it? Is there any more? Or where can I buy it? I want to buy some." Jielika asked, looking at Gao De with burning eyes.

The feeling of both physical and mental fatigue being dissipated after drinking the "Water of No Leakage" left too deep an impression on Jielika.

So she couldn't even wait for a moment and immediately came to the door to buy "Water of No Leakage."

She felt the magic of "Water of No Leakage" and wants to buy some for backup. I would like to sell it, but I can't sell it... Here, Gao De's thoughts turned a few times instantly.

"This is something I brewed myself according to an ancestral secret recipe. The materials are precious, and the process is troublesome and time-consuming, so I don't make much."

"There is still some left now. If you want it, I can give you a little more." He said.

"However," Gao De laid the groundwork in advance, "they cannot be stored in the conventional way. Once made, they will evaporate within a day. You'd better drink it now."

Jielika nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

Such a special thing should be precious and rare.

"Wait a moment." After saying this, Gao De went into the building nimbly, took out the previous tin water bottle, and filled it with about half a pint of "Water of No Leakage."

This amount will be gone after a few sips, so it won't drag on until the time limit of 【Water Creation+】 expires at night, causing the remaining unconsumed "Water of No Leakage" to disappear into thin air.

Otherwise, even if he had laid the groundwork in advance, this phenomenon would still be very suspicious.

Handing the tin water bottle to Jielika, Gao De could clearly see Jielika's eyes shining.

"Its taste is indeed very special, just like a fruit drink, but it tastes better than all the fruit drinks I've ever drunk, not to mention its magic..." Jielika couldn't help but praise "Water of No Leakage" again.

She took out her purse, preparing to pay.

Gao De waved his hand hurriedly and said generously: "No need, no need, I'll give you this little thing, how can I accept your money."

Jielika's upbringing made her never willing to accept other people's things for nothing.

Under normal circumstances, if others refused to accept her money, she would rather not have this thing... But this time, she hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take back her purse and said softly: "Thank you."

Sending Jielika away again, closing the door, and walking slowly up the stairs, Gao De suddenly stopped his steps abruptly.

"Fruit drink..." He thought of Jielika's description of "Water of No Leakage" just now.

It was this description that caused Gao De's thoughts to open up suddenly at this moment.

"If these waters are not consumed, they will disappear after 1 day."

This is the limitation of the 0-circle spell 【Water Creation】.

Before this, Gao De had always subconsciously understood it as: if the water created by the water creation spell is not drunk within a day, it will naturally disappear.

Now thinking carefully, perhaps one shouldn't just simply and crudely understand "consumption" as "drinking"? For example, adding water to flour to knead into dough, these waters were not drunk either, so are they considered consumed? In all likelihood, they are.

It's impossible that after a day, the originally moist bread will lose its moisture out of thin air and turn back into dry flour, right? Following this way of thinking, actually, there should still be some ways to preserve the "Water of No Leakage" created by 【Water Creation+】 and avoid the 1-day time limit?

For example, brewing fruit drinks? The raw materials for fruit drink brewing are fruit and water.

Fruit and water are mixed, fermented, and seasoned to get fruit drinks.

Using the liquid obtained from 【Water Creation+】 to brew fruit drinks is equivalent to "consuming" it?

Doesn't this bypass the limitation that the liquid created by 【Water Creation】 can be stored for at most one day in another strange way?

Once the idea emerged in his mind, Gao De could no longer sit still.

— If he doesn't hurry, the "Water of No Leakage" will expire.

He immediately took the key and left the room again.

Young people do things in a hurry.

He first went to the academy's trading area and bought several kinds of fresh seasonal fruits and some yeast for brewing fruit drinks.

In addition, he bought several exquisite small clay pots.

It only cost 7 silver coins in total.

The prices in the academy are still very realistic.

After buying the necessary materials, Gao De hurried back to Building 30 in the First District.

He first opened the large clay pot containing the Water of No Leakage and took a look.

A total of two gallons (about 9.6 liters) of "Water of No Leakage," because he was afraid of waste earlier, he drank wildly, and now only about one gallon is left.

Gao De was a bit dumbfounded.

But the amount of 1 gallon is still not small.

Not daring to waste any more time, Gao De immediately started to act.

He washed the several kinds of fresh seasonal fruits he bought, peeled those that needed peeling, pitted those that needed pitting, then chopped them up, and put them into several clay pots separately.

Subsequently, Gao De poured the remaining one gallon of Water of No Leakage evenly into the clay pots containing different fruit pieces.

Then add an appropriate amount of yeast and stir it evenly.

Under normal circumstances, brewing fruit drinks also requires adding seasonings such as honey and sugar to adjust the flavor of the fruit drink.

But Gao De added nothing but fruit.

One is that the flavor of the Water of No Leakage itself is special enough, no need to paint the lily.

The second is that he is worried that adding too many seasonings, although it does preserve the "Water of No Leakage," will also change the efficacy of the "Water of No Leakage."

Undoubtedly, in the process of brewing fruit drinks with Water of No Leakage, the fewer seasonings added, the greater the possibility of preserving the "Water of No Leakage" while maintaining its efficacy.

This is also the reason why Gao De chose a variety of different fruits.

He is not sure that the added fruit will not change the efficacy of the "Water of No Leakage."

Making a few more different sets of "fruit drinks," there will always be a fruit that has the least impact on the efficacy of the "Water of No Leakage," right?

After doing all this, Gao De covered the lid of the clay pot, leaving a small slit, waiting for them to ferment.

"Come and check again at night. If the liquid in the clay pot still exists at that time and hasn't disappeared, it means my idea is correct."
