Chapter 137

【Spell Combat Sparring】:

Serve as a spell combat sparring partner to improve personal spellcasting skills.

Pay remuneration per session, 2 gold per session.

Requirements:

Mage rank is third-rank mage apprentice or above.

Proficiently master and flexibly use more than five combat spells.

【Fire Lizard Raising】: Help raise the 1st-circle earth-vein creature Fire Lizard, responsible for feeding once a day and accompanying it for outdoor activities.

Remuneration: Paid monthly, 15 gold coins per month.

Requirements: The Fire Lizard is energetic and has a huge amount of activity per day. The person accepting the task needs to have outstanding physical strength.

【Alchemy Machine Trial】: Try out the alchemy machine "Sound Weaver" manufactured by the person.

This alchemy machine is manufactured by the person, aiming to capture and weave sounds in nature and daily life. Your task is to record more than a hundred non-repeating sounds for this alchemy machine.

Task duration is one week.

Remuneration is 2 gold, plus priority access to subsequent optimization tasks for this alchemy machine. If you put forward corresponding suggestions and they are adopted, there will be extra rewards.

There are no requirements for accepting this task.

【Caring for Moon Root Grass】: Help care for twenty special "Moon Root Grass"... Note: These twenty "Moon Root Grass" are the person's graduation design. Those who are not responsible should not take the task. If the task is not completed and it affects the person's graduation design, compensation is required! Compared to the tasks issued by the academy, these tasks issued by instructors and students are undoubtedly much richer.

And the remuneration and difficulty of some tasks are not proportional at all, looking like picking up money for nothing.

For example, the 【Alchemy Machine Trial】 task.

One week to "record" one hundred kinds of sounds, there is no difficulty at all, and it doesn't need to consume much energy.

But the remuneration is 2 gold.

Isn't this picking up money for nothing!

But it's also normal, after all, there are many students from "second-generation mage" backgrounds in Ceris Academy.

These people are not short of money at all, and they definitely don't lack people to act as "big spenders."

And alchemists themselves are "tycoons."

Of course, corresponding to "picking up money for nothing" is that there are also many pits.

Just like the first 【Spell Combat Sparring】 task, it looks easy, and the remuneration is considered high.

However, spell combat has the possibility of injury... and the task requirements don't mention at all how to ensure safety during the sparring process, as well as compensation plans after injury.

In addition, combat spells are the spells in a mage's spell library that need to be kept most secret. Exposing them all for a remuneration of 2 gold coins is not worth it.

Undoubtedly, this task is a "huge pit."

And whether it is "picking up money for nothing" or a "huge pit," it requires students to judge for themselves.

If you get pitted, under normal circumstances, you can only admit you are unlucky.

Just as Gao De's thoughts drifted, the words on the task bulletin board suddenly jumped.

The 【Alchemy Machine Trial】 task has disappeared from the bulletin board.

Then Gao De saw an old student take a machine with a structure similar to a "music box" from the receptionist at the counter.

Obviously, the trial task has been taken by this old student.

This made Gao De a bit annoyed — he also took a fancy to this task.

As a result, it was only a moment of distraction, and it fell into someone else's hands.

And just as he was regretting, Gao De, whose eyes were still subconsciously browsing the tasks, suddenly discovered such a task on the task bulletin board.

【Poison Insect Cultivation】: Care for three kinds of poison insect eggs cultivated by the person. These poison insects possess unique characteristics and contain potential magic value.

The person accepting the task needs to ensure the successful hatching of the poison insects, and handle the "defective products" in time according to the person's requirements after the poison insects hatch, and screen out qualified poison insects.

Note: The three kinds of poison insect eggs are not ordinary poison insects. Two of them are eggs of the 0-circle earth-vein creatures "Fire Kiss Ant" and "Ma Scorpion," and the remaining one is laid by the hybridization of the 1st-circle earth-vein creatures "Phantom Centipede" and "Thorn Centipede."

The three kinds of poison insects have a certain toxicity even when they are just hatched, so you need to pay attention yourself during the cultivation process to avoid contact with toxins.

If you are accidentally hit, the person will not provide compensation.

In addition, the person accepting the task needs to master and proficiently use the spell 【Detect Poison】, and regularly monitor whether the poison insect eggs have toxins to predict the hatching time of the insect eggs.

Those who are afraid of poison insects should not take this task, so as not to cause adverse effects on your physical and mental health!

Remuneration: After completing the task, you can obtain a rare 0-circle spell formula — 【Insect Swarm Generation】. After seeing the task description and task reward, Gao De's eyes were already shining, and he was overjoyed in his heart.

Handling "defective products" in time... The so-called handling actually means killing.

And these poison insects, according to the description, there are three kinds, two are 0-circle earth-vein creatures, and one is a 1st-circle earth-vein creature.

Since they are earth-vein creatures, if they are killed, "Feng Ling Yue Ying" can obtain the corresponding origin.

1st-circle earth-vein creatures are powerful, but how powerful can newly born larvae be?

Newly born lions are all kneaded by people.

This means that Gao De can collect two points of 0-circle origin and one point of 1st-circle origin through this task! Yes, it is the 1st-circle origin he dared not even think about under normal circumstances! As for the task reward, although it is not the most practical money, for Gao De who is already aiming for "super-class specialties," a rare spell formula is also far better than a money reward.

After all, rare spell formulas cannot be obtained just by having money.

Being able to obtain origin and a rare spell formula, such a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone, how many times can you run into it?

Moreover, he also happens to master 【Detect Poison】, which meets the requirements for accepting the task.

Gao De didn't dare to delay any time, if he missed this task again, he would really feel heartbroken.

He immediately ran to the task processing counter, handed in his identity badge, and officially applied to take the 【Poison Insect Cultivation】 task.

And hearing that Gao De was preparing to take this task, the staff at the counter introduced the details not marked on the task bulletin board in detail: "This task was published by Instructor Xiao Er of the Potion Department."

"He has always been dedicated to researching the topic of earth-vein creature toxins and potion fusion, and is also an outstanding insect master."

Insect master, there is such an obscure profession... Gao De subconsciously thought.

"Also, the 【Insect Swarm Generation】 spell effect is to make the target temporarily appear with insect swarms including mites, fleas, and parasites."

"This attack method is good at being unexpected and strange, but the damage is actually not outstanding."

Although the damage is not outstanding, summoning insects on the target can also bring mental damage to the target. If the target is a woman, the mental damage can also be doubled... Gao De thought secretly again.

"In addition, I must remind you that although the task reward looks very tempting, this task is not easy."

"The number of poison insect eggs you need to care for and cultivate is not small, and the growth cycle is also relatively long, so to complete this task, it may take one to two months."

It's good that the quantity is large, otherwise how can I collect the origin? This shortcoming is instead an advantage for Gao De.

"Such a long time, but it can only be exchanged for a spell formula that cannot be immediately turned into income, so this task is not popular."

Those who take tasks at the logistics department are all civilian mages from ordinary backgrounds.

They need to obtain money remuneration by completing tasks to pay for course fees, thereby obtaining credits through completing course learning.

A task rewarded with a spell formula, in this case, is naturally not so popular.

It's not that rare spell formulas are not good, but the primary task of students in the academy is still "credits."

Rare spell formulas belong to icing on the cake.

It's like when you are really thirsty, it's not that milk tea is not good, but what can really quench thirst is pure water.

Only when enjoying will you choose milk tea.

"Are you sure you still want to apply to accept this task?" After introducing the details and precautions, the staff confirmed again.

"Of course, I'm sure!" Gao De said without hesitation.

Although he has already felt the foreseeable fiscal crisis, he still has some savings at the moment, so he can "indulge" a little.

Seeing Gao De so decisive, the staff was a bit stunned, but didn't say anything, helped Gao De start registering, and then handed Gao De a voucher representing the acceptance of this task.

"Take the voucher and go to the Potion Department to find Instructor Xiao Er yourself, he will arrange the task for you."

"Okay." Gao De took the voucher, turned and left the logistics department, and came to the "La Rui Building" where the Potion Department is located.

Compared to the coldness of the Rune Department's "Jia Wen Building," the "La Rui Building" is much livelier.

This is because although runemasters are regarded as the head of the three major magic craftsmen, because the threshold is too high, the number of runemasters has always been very small.

And potion masters have always been the most numerous among the three major magic craftsmen.

Gao De entered the La Rui Building and soon found Instructor Xiao Er.

After he stated his purpose, Instructor Xiao Er didn't be vague, and immediately took Gao De to the cultivation room he specially rented to cultivate the three kinds of poison insects.
