Chapter 72 "The Strange Adventure of Slime Continent" Chapter 1
Harold did not express his personal opinion, nor did he have the intention to discuss cooperation with Awen for the time being. He did not have the time.
The tutors just used Awen's topic as a topic of conversation and made some jokes on it. Then they shifted their focus back to Harold's plump peach trees.
After inspecting the condition of the Dun Dun peaches, they were very satisfied with Harold's research results. They said they would come again after the fruits were ripe, and hoped that Harold would not relax during this period.
Harold said modestly, "I will definitely not let you mentors down."
The mentors left on the boat with satisfaction, carrying sugar, nectar, and Harold's other achievements and research reports.
Harold watched them go away, and only when the ship disappeared into the horizon did he release his strength and yawn tiredly.
Because he was well prepared and confident in his research results, he was not nervous at all and was able to answer all the questions from his mentors calmly. It was just that making sugar took too long, and he, like his mentors, had not slept for nearly 24 hours.
If there was anything that worried him, it was the fear of running into the doctor's little slice on the road, but Harold's shooting skills had improved greatly, which made him more confident. He repeatedly told himself: If he really ran into him, don't hesitate, just shoot him in the head and solve the problem completely.
Moreover, Ajarn's research institute was close to Vimalakirti Village, a long distance away from Huacheng City. In the past few months, he had only seen Ajarn from a distance once.
At that time, Little Slice was squatting in the Dead Zone, fiddling with something, while his subordinates were cleaning up the mushroom beasts contaminated by the Dead Zone.
Seeing that scene, Harold became more convinced that Azan's research was related to Lanaro, because Lanaro's power could suppress the spread of the dead zone, and they would sometimes save people who were eroded by the dead zone.
Thinking of this, Harold couldn't help but yawn three times in a row.
Azan’s affairs had nothing to do with him. Now, he was going to go back to his research institute to eat something and have a good sleep.
As soon as he entered the institute, he couldn't help but sit on the bed. After sitting for a few seconds, he lay straight down, and he completely forgot about cooking.
Touching the soft animal fur blanket, Harold arched his body comfortably and even couldn't help humming twice. He felt his stomach was empty, but he didn't want to move at all.
I just take a nap and then get up to cook.
Harold hypnotized himself in this way, and it took great willpower to force himself to bend over the bed, reach out to unbutton his shoes, twist himself to take off his coat, and then crawl into the blanket and fall into a deep sleep.
...
When he opened his eyes again, Harold felt dry mouth and tongue. He looked at the time and was so shocked that he threw off the blanket and stepped on the ground barefoot. He thought it was not good. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. He had to hurry to extract the nectar.
He hurriedly put on his shoes and clothes, and endured the hunger to send Ah Da to Xiao Shiba to the experimental table. Because he was extremely familiar with the process, even though he was not in good condition, he still completed the whole process smoothly.
Over the next three weeks, he asked Dolly for information on the atomizer and microwave oven he needed to make the dried powdered nectar.
After hearing Harold's description, Dolly was confused, but she still said, "As long as you give me enough Mora, I can ask my almighty supplier."
Dolly took the initiative to mention her supplier Alice, and Harold was no longer sleepy. With the help of this witch who had the ability to travel through time and space, he could avoid many detours.
In fact, in addition to the nebulizer and microwave drying oven, he also wants a mobile phone, a high-performance liquid chromatograph, a land salinity meter, etc. If possible, he also wants a computer.
He wanted to beat God O, he wanted to take away the 360 pink balls he had saved.
Thinking of the 360 pink balls, Harold felt a pang of pain again.
After more than half a year in this world, he still couldn't forget them.
But he didn't intend to ask Ms. Alice for everything at once. Not only would that easily expose his identity, but Ms. Alice liked to study novel devices from other worlds and then restore them on the continent of Teyvat, so she also liked sincere people.
His behavior might cause Ms. Alice to blacklist him.
Forget it, let’s take it slow.
So Harold only described to Dolly the simplest atomizer: this instrument can pass the solution through the baffle to form particles and spray them out with the air flow.
After Harold's description, Dolly understood. She even felt that there was no need to bother Ms. Alice with this kind of instrument, and that she could just ask the researchers at Fontaine to make it.
Apart from that, his daily routine is still as busy and fulfilling as before. He records experimental data, practices shooting, and conducts research on the society's topics every day, and communicates with the four people on progress on weekends.
Because the Ministry of Education gave them a research site, after the three of them settled down, the place where the five of them conducted their study was moved from Elhaisen's house to a residence that belonged to the three of them.
Haroldt's rent was due in a few days, so he simply packed up his things and moved in.
When he moved, and when El Haisen moved, Kavi came with his tricycle to help.
Only then did Harold realize how important the tricycle was to the ordinary people of Xumi. He and Elhaisen both had a lot of luggage. His house was filled with various scattered ornaments, and Elhaisen's family had a large collection of books.
If they don’t have a tricycle, they need to spend a lot of money to hire a porter, or push the wheelbarrow themselves.
It took the three of them nearly a week to get everything in place, and then Kavi began to decorate his room with great enthusiasm. Harold and Elhaisen were not so impatient, especially Harold. His research materials were all in the city, and he could only come back every two or three days to organize his things.
So the first one to complete the decoration of his room was Kavi. Seeing that the two younger classmates were still busy with their rooms, he turned his attention to the vacant public areas. After obtaining the consent of the two, he immediately went to buy various furniture to be placed in the public areas, as well as decorations such as carpets, ornaments, and paintings.
When the two of them finally finished cleaning up their rooms, Kavi had already arranged the living room, bathroom, kitchen and other public areas in order.
After discussion, the three of them decided to use one of the remaining two empty rooms as a studio for Kavi and the other as a study to store the books that Elhaisen had finished reading.
Kavi originally disagreed with this allocation and insisted that both rooms be used as public studios or storage rooms.
Haroldt blinked and said half-jokingly, "Are the seniors' studios and studies my forbidden areas? After those two rooms are decorated, I plan to harass the seniors often, especially Senior Elhaisen's study. In a few years, I will definitely stay there to write my thesis."
Harold paused and continued, "I only come back a few times a week. Um... after graduation, the frequency will be higher, but not too often. I'll be thankful if I can spend three nights at home a week. The two empty rooms will be given to the seniors. Okay, I only want the nursery in front of the house. I want to plant some Dun Dun peaches in it."
After hearing what Harold said, Kavi no longer worried about the allocation of the two empty rooms.
Kavi: "Don't worry, junior. I will remember to water your Dun Dun peach when you are not around. The stems and leaves of this plant are very beautiful and match our house very well."
At this point, the three of them finally moved into the house.
Two weeks later, the special Dun Dun peaches of Harol were ripe, and he invited the instructors to inspect the results again. The instructors picked the Dun Dun peaches on the spot and bit into them without washing them.
After tasting it, they felt that the price of sugar in Xumi was finally going to be brought down.
"The Great Sage highly values your research. The Dun Dun peach tubers you gave me last time have been divided into 35 sections and planted in the Church Order. They are growing well now. When they mature and their sweetness reaches the Sage's expectations, he will definitely strongly support your research."
Harold smiled and said "yes".
Another week and a half later, Harold arrived at the port of Ormos.
He estimated that the milk tea shop invested by Dolly was about to open, so he planned to go and see what was going on.
As soon as he arrived at the port, he was stopped by someone.
A young woman in plain clothes asked with a smile: "Scholar, ah... You are a scholar of the Life Theory School. Excuse me, are you interested in novels, especially adventure novels?"
Harold replied politely, "Very interesting. I like stories like that. They always make my blood boil. You know, even scholars always fantasize about becoming adventurers and traveling around the world."
Logically, he should have given a few examples to prove his statement, but unfortunately after coming to the continent of Teyvat, he had been farming and writing project reports and had never read any novels.
After receiving a positive answer, the woman's eyes lit up instantly, and she handed a booklet to Harold: "Then I would like to recommend you a novel that is currently being serialized. The author has only published the first chapter, but it has already been very popular.
My neighbors and I are fans of this novel. I dare say that half the people who live in Port Ormos have read it, and we are all eagerly waiting for the author to write the second chapter. "
Hmm? "The Bizarre Adventure of Slime Land"?
Harold took the booklet and was slightly stunned after reading the words on it.
