Chapter 52 Standard Cube + Magic Crystal + Tail Hair = ?
Zhu En realized that she had drawn conclusions too early and decided to retract her previous thoughts.
How does this have anything to do with fairness and justice?
He watched as the spatula and ingredients went into the creation machine and came out as a rubber shield half the height of a person, his lips twitching.
Could this be a return of the original item?
Not only were four items reduced to one, but they were also transformed from production tools into armor. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Performance isn't important; the main issue is blatant cheating. Isn't that a bit...?
Even more coincidentally, because they were protecting the students, they formed a circle, and no one else saw what was happening inside.
The professors and mentors exchanged glances, and finally, without a word, withdrew their protective gear.
"Loxi, you did a great job today. Your technique was very skillful and your footwork was very graceful."
"Indeed, the tail wagging was particularly well done; it definitely deserves a high score!"
"Congratulations! From now on, we'll be colleagues. We've unanimously voted to give you a separate dormitory building."
The group exchanged pleasantries and dispersed.
The main issue is with Rose; they've already discussed it, so this exam is just a formality...
As for the process, let it be!
"Thank you for your hard work, mentors." After successfully "alchemy," Luo Xi took out her shield and waved happily when she saw that none of the mentors had any objections.
As expected of a mentor, his thinking is much more advanced than hers!
It turns out everyone has already accepted the new alchemy theory, but I'm still sticking to handmade methods. I'm so outdated!
"Mr. Box, please guide me in the future." Rosie was sincere and eager to improve.
"Huh?" Fang Qi asked, puzzled.
……
"The exam is over. Candidates, immediately stop what you are doing, stand up, and turn around!" Zhu En announced at the designated time, eliciting several groans.
The students were quite well-behaved and did not engage in any clandestine operations.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare!
The mentor group, with an average level six, is no pushover; they are not only fair and impartial, but also incredibly discerning.
There was a freshman who disobeyed orders because he had some connections. He was magically suspended in the air above the exam hall for half a day!
In the end, a large group of people came to the house and made a scene, which even went to the hospital director, but nothing was ever resolved.
They don't want to fail an exam.
In a short while, the practical exam projects were collected and placed on the stage.
When it came to the part that the onlookers loved to see: the explanation and display of the finished products. The noisy students from other colleges who had come to watch the excitement immediately quieted down.
"What's that? A salted fish stick?" the audience asked, puzzled.
Rocco strode forward, meeting June's scrutinizing gaze with unwavering confidence: "This is a sword."
The crowd roared with laughter, but Rocco remained unmoved: "I named it 'The Saltfish Greatsword with a Tough Spirit,' and used standard cubes and ancient hard saltfish as raw materials."
"Ancient hard salted fish?" one of the instructors repeated to confirm.
Rocco nodded and took out the testing powder: "Pure black, over a thousand years old!"
Seeing that his mentor had no objections, he raised the salted fish greatsword: "I will embed the standard cube into the fish's mouth as the core of the magic drive, and then use auxiliary materials to activate the 'deep-sea resentment' remaining in the salted fish's body."
As he spoke, he brandished a 1.5-meter-long salted fish and smashed it against the touchstone.
A wet, salty sound came from the fish's mouth.
The touchstone and the salted fish sword were both unharmed, but a strong fishy smell suddenly burst out, and the audience and mentors in the front row were the first to be hit, immediately starting to gag.
"What...what's the effect of this sword?" Rocco's mentor pinched his nose.
Rocco, completely oblivious, swung again.
Pfft.
"This sword is extremely hard and cannot be easily destroyed. Because its magical supply is abundant, I have imbued it with the curse of the deep sea!"
"As long as the user can still wield the weapon, the enemy will be continuously attacked by this scent, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness!"
The smell made everyone realize that Rocco was right.
Swords are cheap, but they're picky about who can use them. Most races with a normal sense of smell can't use them; they're only suitable for merfolk and other races with a less sensitive sense of smell...
The mentors wrote out a score, put up a board, and Zhu En glanced at it and made up her mind.
Without further ado, he covered his nose and commented, "A very creative tactic of area attack. The name 'Has Backbone' is well-chosen. 75 points, good!"
"75 points!" Rocco's face lit up with joy. A score of 75 was quite good in the notoriously rigorous practical exam.
Based on previous years' standards, they should at least be in the top 20!
This time when I go back, I'll not only get a reward, but I can also brag to my friends!
He took a deep breath, feeling satisfied, picked up his sword, and swayed off the stage.
He didn't notice that Mina, who always liked to take the initiative to chat with him, was now far away from him, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"Next up, the bristly-haired pufferfish, scientifically known as the 'Extremely Spirited Sentinel Golem'? Why that name?"
Mina bypassed Rocco and jumped up from the other side: "Because its reactions are incredibly quick!"
She infused magic to activate the golem, and a ball-sized, spiked "frizzy pufferfish" floated up, seemingly trembling incessantly.
"This was made from timid magic crystals, the spikes of a pufferfish, alchemical clay, and tail hair."
"Tail hair?" Everyone couldn't help but stare at the tip of Mina's tail.
Hmm... You wouldn't notice unless you said it, but now that you mention it, it does seem like a piece is missing.
Is it really necessary to work that hard?
The Sentinel Golem didn't have any strange smell. The instructors were very interested in how well the "lucky" material could be used, so they all stepped forward to take a closer look.
Seeing the ruffled porcupine trembling even more violently, Mina hesitated before speaking, "Mentor..."
"You call it a Sentinel Golem, which means it can warn of attacks and avoid them. Can I try it?" Julai asked.
"It should... be okay..." Mina said hesitantly.
Seeing this, Julai thought his student was nervous, so he waved his hand and threw a fireball of minimal power at the golem.
I thought the golem would only sound an alarm or barely dodge the attack, but I was wrong...
Before the fireball even got close, the pufferfish seemed to sense a huge threat, its magic surged, and it let out a sharp "meow!"
Its extraordinary magic erupted instantly, teleporting and shifting positions, and with a "whoosh," it dodged the fireball far ahead of time.
At the same time, as if startled, hundreds of sharp spikes shot out from its body, causing it to bristle from all angles!
The fireball was detonated prematurely, and the pufferfish was unharmed.
But the mentors surrounding them weren't having such a good time.
Those who reacted quickly or had money were radiant with light, and protective magic activated one after another; those who reacted slowly or had no money only had time to protect their faces with their arms, and the scene became chaotic for a time.
Fortunately, the spikes were only densely packed and not very powerful, so apart from being a little disheveled, none of the instructors were injured.
"Wow, that's fast! What kind of reaction speed is that?" The audience was amazed.
June, however, noticed something unusual. Combining the students' and Rose's earlier behavior, he discovered a startling secret:
The creation machine might actually be able to change the properties of materials!
This is the ultimate pursuit of alchemists!
