Chapter 204

The people outside the rune workshop did not understand what had happened.

How could it just explode when it was fine?

In any case, the mess and fragments all over the ground already indicated that everything was beyond saving.

Before the crowd had fully reacted, Kunxi Ese had already strode into the dilapidated rune workshop, which was now a ruin.

With the strength of a third-rank rune construct, it would not be destroyed by such an impact.

The data and notes were definitely gone, but that was all he cared about.

What Xie Er En and the Second Prince cared about were the few sets of third-rank rune constructs that He Xi had made.

"None..."

"None..."

"How could there be none?"

Kunxi Ese searched the rune workshop over and over again.

Let alone a few sets of third-rank rune constructs, he couldn't even see a single loose part of a rune construct.

"Where are they?"

"Where are they?"

Kunxi Ese's expression gradually became gloomy.

A second-rank rune constructor was already quite remarkable, at least in the Saint Xi Encheng.

But for the plans of Xie Er En and the Second Prince, what they needed were third-rank rune constructors.

Whether it was true or false, it had to be third-rank.

Only with such chips could one be qualified to sit at the table.

"Impossible, impossible. The materials He Xi purchased were clearly raw materials for making rune constructs. Buying so many raw materials, how could there not even be a single loose part of a rune construct?" Kunxi Ese muttered to himself.

"It's not like he bought a pile of rune construct raw materials back just to burn them for fun, right?"

Although his level in runology was far inferior to He Xi's, as a second-rank rune constructor, he still had these basic discernment abilities.

"Unless..." Kunxi Ese soon had the answer in his heart.

"Unless this old guy He Xi didn't put the finished rune constructs in the rune workshop."

"It must be like this..."

"That's right, such precious things, how could they just be left in a rune workshop?"

Gao De's clam collection trip this time lasted for a long time.

So long that the staff member responsible for guarding this water area began to doubt how much truth there was to Gao De's reputation as a "good clam collector."

However, near 5:00 PM at the end, Gao De still successfully fished out a beautiful Maid Clam from the bottom of the river, barely maintaining his reputation.

"My luck today wasn't very good," Gao De complained.

"Only you could say that; other people would have to thank the heavens if they could find one Maid Clam in an afternoon," the staff member complimented politely.

Gao De smiled shyly.

In fact, he had discovered this Maid Clam long ago, but he hadn't fished it up right away.

One reason was to delay time as much as possible, and the other was that he had just discovered the wonderful use of 【Adaptability】 and was a bit excited by the find.

【Adaptability】: Cold resistance increased by 0.6%, sensitivity to water currents increased by 0.6%, oxygen uptake in water increased by 0.6%.

This was the result of one afternoon.

If he kept "adapting" like this, soon, his skills in the water would be about the same as a fish's, right?

Moreover, this was just the environment at the bottom of the river that his physical body could endure, and he could already have such progress.

What if it were changed to a truly extreme environment?

The progress of "adaptation" would definitely be several times what it was now.

But the premise was that before "fully adapting," Gao De could first endure the devastation brought by the extreme environment.

"Must first master 【Endure Elements】."

Instantly, Gao De had a priority ranking for learning spells.

Carrying the collected Maid Clam, Gao De returned to the dormitory.

He first took a small cup of Five-Storey fruit drink in the kitchen before going upstairs.

As soon as he returned to the room, he saw Fu Luo La lying on that huge "Magic Plant Cultivation" customer service notebook again, looking at it seriously.

"How can Lady Fu Luo La read?" Gao De suddenly remembered a question he had ignored. Fu Luo La didn't even share a language with him, relying on the telepathic communication ability of 【Obtain Familiar】 to communicate with him normally.

In such a situation, how could she understand these notes he recorded in human language?

Fu Luo La raised her head and hummed: "I just can read."

"You just can read?"

"I just can read," Fu Luo La said in a crisp and powerful tone.

Seeing this, Gao De didn't ask anymore.

"Lady Fu Luo La, doesn't planting grass not require these summarized laws? Why are you still looking at them?" he asked again.

"I find it interesting."

"Find it interesting?" Gao De savored it carefully, roughly able to understand Fu Luo La's meaning: it was equivalent to a literary master looking at an article written by a toddler; although it had no literary value, it was full of childlike interest, so she read it with relish?

"How did the thing I asked Lady Fu Luo La to do go?" Gao De turned the topic back to business.

"It couldn't stump me."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gao De thanked her solemnly, while carefully holding the small cup of Five-Storey fruit drink he had just taken and bringing it to Fu Luo La.

"Please."

Fu Luo La's little face was happy, and at the same time, that "key" inexplicably appeared in her palm.

Seeing Fu Luo La's performance again, the last time she took out Yujia Te Xila was also like this.

"How did Lady Fu Luo La conjure the key?"

"I just conjured it like this."

Gao De wasn't in a hurry; he had gradually mastered the techniques of communicating with Fu Luo La.

He pointed to the bed in the room: "Can you conjure this bed?"

"Too big."

"Then this chair?"

"A little smaller."

"Can living things be conjured?"

"Some can, some cannot."

"Which ones can, which ones cannot?"

"Yujia Te Xila is alive, but it can be conjured; seeds of trees, flowers, and grass can also be conjured; butterflies cannot be conjured."

"Lady Fu Luo La knows so many things," Gao De praised sincerely.

"Of course, I am very smart," Fu Luo La nodded with satisfaction.

"Can you keep it with Lady Fu Luo La for a while longer?" Gao De asked, pointing to the key.

"... Okay."

The last material missing for the 【Comprehend Languages】 spell potion: the Maid Clam, had already been obtained.

Gao De went to the kitchen, first using a table knife to pry open the shell of the Maid Clam and take out the meat.

Then he took out the other main and auxiliary materials he had purchased at the magic potion shop, put them all into a pot, lit the fire, and started the "stewing everything in one pot" mode.

Half an hour later, the main and auxiliary materials in the pot had turned into a concentrated pale golden medicinal liquid.

The spell potion was complete.

Gao De hurriedly turned off the fire, poured the medicinal liquid into a bottle he had prepared long ago, and after letting it cool slightly, he drank it all in one gulp.

After doing all this, he was preparing to go upstairs to continue trying to construct the spell model for 【Endure Elements】, but a knock on the door suddenly sounded at this moment.

Gao De frowned and opened the door.

Coming into view was still that "old acquaintance," the vice-chairman.

Only this time, behind him were two magic users wearing the uniforms of the academy's logistics department.

"Take him."

The moment the vice-chairman saw Gao De, he ordered without any explanation.

The two magic users swarmed up and instantly pinned down Gao De, who did not resist.
