ALL NOVEL Chapter 57 Charm flow route
After flipping through the boy's picture album, Xia Zuo opened the girl's picture album.
This is the only girl among the three.
The current ratio of boys to girls in the entire school is about 4:6, with fewer boys than girls. Girls focus on Potions and Alchemy.
The opposite is true in the Poison Alchemy Zone, with more boys than girls.
This girl is still rare, a freshman who relies on willpower to survive the spiritual ocean test.
Her name is Yolanda, a native of Starry Night City, and she is 20 years old.
His parents used to be mercenaries who traveled together, but now they have opened a tavern in Starry Night City. They rely on their former reputation to attract drinkers, and they also use their accumulated contacts to do a small business of selling information.
Both of them have practiced breathing techniques and are very capable. They know all the steps of breathing techniques and meditation. They have high hopes for Yolanda since she was a child and pay attention to cultivating her reading habit.
Normally, Yolanda should have joined the academy last year.
However, she was serving as a soldier stationed on Miter Island in the eastern waters of the kingdom. It will take several more months to complete the discharge formalities and then rush to the capital to enroll, and it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up with the first enrollment.
Simply, enroll again this year.
Her advantages are great.
Some of this semester’s exam content and general course textbooks have leaked out to the middle and upper classes of the kingdom.
With her parents' ability, it is not difficult to obtain this information.
Maybe, Yolanda has already started to study alchemy general course textbooks on her own.
Xia Zuo closed the album.
"Have you finished reading?" Kulov glanced at the thinking student, "I just happened to have almost finished writing."
Two of the three pens stopped, leaving one to continue writing.
"I've finished reading, Professor. Yolanda and Huo Qi are more likely to stay in the school." Xia Zuo nodded.
Kulov organized the papers on the table and sealed them in a binder:
"I have to remind you not to treat them differently. Yolanda and Hodge have obvious advantages. They are slightly inferior to Sanger, but it may be just like you and me, lacking a good family environment, which is why they failed to put their own The advantages show.”
"Yes, Professor." Xia Zuo looked solemn.
"Let's take it one step at a time."
Kulov took out a notepad and looked through the records on it:
"Students in the same class as you will start making up exams tomorrow. Are you interested in helping me mark papers?"
According to the experience of the previous life.
Teaching assistants mainly do auxiliary work, including correcting homework, test papers, and assisting in teaching.
One level above the teaching assistant is the lecturer. You can now teach alone.
The professional titles at the next higher level are different, and it is not yet known how they are divided in Xingye Academy.
Xia Zuo pondered for a moment, "Of course I'm interested. This is what I should do."
"Yes. The make-up exam for Poison Alchemy is scheduled for the next three days.
""Separation of Toxins", "Encyclopedia of Poisons", and "Guide to the Identification of Common Poisons", these three basic textbooks are tested on one subject every day. In the next three days, you can help me mark the test papers. Just finish the marking before the end of the entire make-up exam. , no need to stay up late.”
"Yes, Professor."
Kulov wrote a few words on his notepad:
"The second thing is, after the three new students arrive, you will bring them in. Dim said that you performed very well when you first put on the poison-making leather robe, and you can help him share some of the work. Before the new students arrive, He will bring you the key to the wardrobe. The shower room also needs to be remodeled in advance, but he will do it himself."
Xia Zuo nodded.
Kulov wrote a few more words on the notepad, "The third thing. Expand the poison alchemy area."
He pointed to a wall with several shelves:
"Empty the shelves over there and put the bottles and jars on the empty shelves next to them. After Dim finishes transforming the space behind the wall and opens the wall, we will rearrange the basic alchemy room."
As if thinking that the amount of work was relatively large and it would delay a lot of time, Kulov frowned slightly and said:
"It's quite troublesome, isn't it? Who told us not to use elemental servants. Let you handle this matter."
"Yes, Professor." Xia Zuo silently wrote it down in his mind.
"The fourth thing," Kulov scratched a few times on the notepad:
“The alchemy general course exam you passed last semester was actually just the first round of screening.
"There are only two opportunities for the promotion test of each alchemy. If you fail both opportunities, you will not be promoted. You will not be able to become a mage apprentice and will be sent out of the school. In the short term, there will be more frequent personnel movements in the school."
Kulov looked at the students who were thinking silently and continued:
“According to the estimation of the head of the school, last year and this year were the two years with the largest enrollment in the school.
"Starting next year, the number of freshmen will drop rapidly. In the next three to 15 years, the average number of freshmen each year will be around 30.
“After the results of this make-up exam are released, the number of students who can stay in the school in each class can be estimated.
"Now, the head of the college speculates that the number of permanent students in the school in the future will be about 50 to 60. Half of them will be freshmen, and the other half will be students who can still stay after passing several promotion tests in the alchemy branch. .”
Kulov took a piece of paper covered with writing from the side and said while reading:
“The head of the academy plans to formulate a new teacher system based on the alchemy schools in the Eastern Continent.
"There are more people in Potion and Oil Alchemy, and they will have 4 and 3 teaching assistants respectively. The three subdivided courses of Rare Object Alchemy each have 1 to 2 teaching assistants. We also only have 1 to 2 teaching assistants in Poison Alchemy. 2 teaching assistants.”
Kulov explained in passing what the assistant coach had to do. It sounds similar to the one in Xia Zuo's previous life.
He put the paper covered with writing back in its place:
“You will be the temporary assistant coach this year.
"At this time next year, one of this year's three freshmen will take the position. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can pass the general course exam.
"If no one passes the first semester exam, then you will continue to serve as a temporary assistant. You are my first real student. Your alchemy talent and character are both to my liking.
"I trust you understand the stakes of this matter."
Xia Zuo's expression became more solemn.
The instructor left some room for speech, but it was enough to convey the deep meaning behind the words.
If a school is compared to a cake.
When Xia Zuo was serving as a temporary assistant, as a member of the school, what he really wanted to do was not compete for the existing share, and he absolutely couldn't occupy the teaching assistant position by playing tricks.
What the university staff should really do is to cooperate with the university leaders to make the cake bigger, bigger, and bigger again.
The share of teaching assistants will be expanded accordingly.
According to the prediction of the number of students by the head of the school, there is no need to worry about internal strife in the ranks of teaching assistants in the next few decades.
What's more, there is a large area of undeveloped wilderness around the kingdom, and there is plenty of space to disperse the mage apprentices in the academy.
Xia Zuo understood the truth in an instant, nodded slowly and said solemnly:
"Professor, don't worry. I will teach strictly in accordance with the standards you set."
"Yeah. I have a feeling you won't let me down."
Kulov looked at the shelves piled with refined powders not far away, "Don't delay your own studies. If you want to become a formal teaching assistant, you must first have sufficient alchemy skills."
"Yes, Professor. I'll think about it."
"The penultimate thing is, give me your pendant. I'll replace it with a new one. In addition, starting from the second month of the new semester, on the 1st of every month, you can get a job as a temporary teaching assistant from me. Remuneration. 20 silver dollars per month."
When Xia Zuo heard that he was getting paid, he felt happy.
He calmly took the new pendant and put it on himself, and Goldfinger's message came to his mind:
"A change in the host's [identity] was detected, the character template was updated, and the identity [temporary assistant] was added."
【Identity 3】Temporary teaching assistant
[[Identity Level] Not applicable
[[Promotion conditions] Unknown
[[Identity bonus]
1. Any behavior that meets the status of a teaching assistant can receive basic experience rewards.
2. Additional experience rewards will be calculated based on the new students’ learning progress and test scores.
Sure enough, the teaching assistant is a status recognized by Golden Finger.
A status like this that requires constant contact with people should be considered a charm stream, right?
Set the Charisma attribute value as high as that of the head of the school, so that all students will listen to you obediently...what you say will be done by the students...
Xia Zuo believes that he does not have social criticism syndrome and remains skeptical about the feasibility of the charm flow route.
Kulov saw the student across the table lost in thought and did not interrupt him. He waited for the student to come to his senses and said:
"The last thing is the notes I wrote tonight."
The third pen wrote the last line and flew back to the pen holder.
A dozen pieces of paper filled with text were bound into a loose-leaf book and floated in front of Xia Zuo.
"Read this document here. Don't take it out, let alone tell anyone. Well... Anru'er has a good relationship with you. If she also becomes a temporary assistant, you can communicate. If not, don't tell anyone. Don’t mention what’s on the document to her.”
Kulov emphasized his tone and said:
"Otherwise, both of you will be punished at the same time. Remember?"
"Yes, Professor."
Kulov wrote a note and passed it to Dim through the air, then stood up and walked to the soft sofa, "You should read the document first. If you feel sleepy, go back and rest."
Xia Zuo watched his mentor enter meditation.
The clock on the wall reads 8pm. Diem stipulates that students must return to their dormitories before 8:30 pm. 10pm is bedtime.
His current schedule is the same as Dim's schedule. I feel sleepy at 10pm. You will have at least an hour and a half to read this document tonight.
Turning to the first page of the loose-leaf album, familiar words appeared on it:
Mage's Temple.
As early as seven months ago, these four words appeared in the questionnaire.
The Mage Temple is the ruler and manager of all orthodox mage schools.
It has set numerous laws for various schools, each of which comes from historical lessons. Once violated, punishment will be imposed depending on the severity of the case.
Kulov wrote down more than a dozen temple laws on paper and asked Xia Zuo to remember them firmly.
One of them is marked with a horizontal line and an asterisk:
[The antidote formula cannot be revealed to alchemists below the proficiency level. 】
Then...does it count if students figure it out on their own? The instructor just brought the right solvent.
Xia Zuo recalled that night when Kulov asked him to try to find the antidote to the White Palate poison.
No wonder the instructor didn't teach other antidote formulas...
Xia Zuo wrote down this law and continued to read the following contents. They were all regulations for teaching trainee poison alchemists.
9:30pm.
Xia Zuo stretched, packed up his desk and walked out slowly.
In the castle hall, a dozen large bright light groups were suspended in the bright silver-white moonlight.
He stood below and looked up for a moment, feeling the tranquility and peace, and then returned to the dormitory to rest.
…
The next day.
Today is Sunday, and it is also the first day of make-up exams for students.
In the early morning, the restaurant was busy with people, and many students walked towards the dormitory holding lunch boxes.
It seems that there are many people who fail poison alchemy.
Xia Zuo came over with two glasses of hot milk, placed one in front of Anruer, sat down and asked:
"Did your instructor ask you to serve as a temporary assistant?"
"Well!" An Ru'er nodded, holding a cup of warm milk, and said, "After returning to the dormitory last night, my instructor sent me a letter, asking me to go to oil alchemy this morning to learn."
Pretty good, pretty good. Both of them are temporary assistant teachers and both receive salary.
Xia Zuo and Anruer happily finished their breakfast and headed to their respective alchemy areas.
In the poison alchemy area.
Xia Zuo came to the shelves filled with poison refining powder.
After waiting for a month, a whole month, I was finally able to pour these poisons into my stomach.
There are five trainee-level poisons, white palate, black eyes, brown feet, gold stars, and green bones. The refining difficulty increases from left to right, and the duration of the poison effect decreases one by one.
At the trainee level, if you only consider the efficiency of experience acquisition, the most suitable one for leveling up is Green Bone Poison.
Its poisonous effect only lasts for 10 seconds. There are no downsides other than bone pain.
Now, the refined Black Eye Poison can provide four series of resistances at once without causing pain. The amount of experience gained is even better, and it can completely replace the Green Bone Poison's position as the top leveling brother.
Kulov had worried about toxins being deposited in the body.
In fact, it's completely unnecessary.
With the help of [Immortal Body], as long as the blood is full, no toxins can stay in the body.
But this secret is, after all, a secret.
With the unknown potion as a cover last night, there will no longer be any obstruction in testing the potion in the future. Xia Zuo only needs to calculate the blood volume by himself and make no mistakes.
"Gulu"
The first refined black eye poison was taken down.
Xia Zuo sat on the chair and stared down at his body.
The expected small point of light appeared. His two arms and two thighs danced like slippery eels.
Compared with the twisted limbs, the flying movements of small light spots are traceable.
When the torso remains completely still, they fly along an arc-shaped trajectory, very regularly, and will not suddenly bend in the middle of the flight.
Gradually, a glimmer of inspiration appeared in my mind.
The picture of small light spots flying everywhere and the picture of field of view distortion are actually two different pictures!
They were just superimposed together for some reason.
If you can find some way, you can individually extract the small light spots from the picture and remove the field of view distortion effect.
Black Eyed Poison, maybe we need to change its name to Black Eyed Potion?
Xia Zuo suddenly understood.
It's toxicity.
It's the visual distortion effect caused by toxicity.
He thought about the supplements and functional potions he saw in drug stores.
These potions that only have positive effects are all related to water resistance.
In other words, the toxicity of the black-eye poison, that is, the traces of the earth element, are stripped away, leaving only the traces of the wind element...
Why? No, no.
Potions are only related to the water element. But after the black-eye poison peeled off the traces of the earth element, what was left were the traces of the wind element, not the water element.
Xia Zuo scratched the back of his head in confusion, and the small light spot in front of his eyes immediately returned to his body.
He felt that he had found some clues, but he was still unable to pinpoint the key points and was stuck in the blind spot of knowledge.
He kept drinking the refined black-eye poison throughout the morning, and did not stop until all the refined black-eye poison powder on the shelf was gone.
11:50 p.m.
Xia Zuo stared at the more than 200 empty glass bottles on the table in a daze, reviewing the messages sent by Goldfinger in his mind.
The first few hundred lines of information were all feedback after drinking the poison, and the content was roughly similar. He turned to the end to check.
【Level】LV.12
【Experience】500+600→1100/1600
【Will】5+2→7
[Earth Resistance] 0.5%+0.5%→1%
[Wind Resistance] 0.5%+0.5%→1%
[Water Resistance] 0.5%+0.5%→1%
[Fire Resistance] 2% (no change since it is not less than 2%)
The reward for the will attribute has been significantly attenuated due to the increase in resistance, but the experience reward is still very generous with the additional bonus.
There are also more than 30 bottles of refined powder of White Palate poison on the shelf. The refined White Palate Poison is more potent and has no corresponding antidote.
Using White Palate Poison for leveling is not as convenient and safe as Black Eye Poison.
Based on the principle that waste is a crime, Xia Zuo decided to consume them slowly.
He packed more than 200 empty glass bottles on the table onto the shelves, and then quietly left the poison alchemy area.

Whether this charm flow route can be followed, whether it is feasible, and whether the protagonist wants to take it or not is actually spoiled by the title of the book. Very embarrassing ha...ha...
