Of course, Fangzheng couldn't really bring a vampire on a date. There were so many things to deal with in the Tendo Temple, and with the arrival of the Royal Fleet, he had even more things to do.
For example …
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng!"
Seeing Fangzheng walk in, Nunnally waved at him happily. Fangzheng nodded back at Nunnally, then looked around.
"How's it going? Is there any result on the nutrient solution research? "
"It's almost done!"
Nunnally was quite excited to hear Fangzheng's question. After she entered the Tendo Temple, she did almost nothing but focus on studying the nutrient solution used for soilless cultivation. Culia was mainly her assistant and also served as Nunnally's external contact window. If it weren't for her childhood sweetheart, Nunnally would have stayed in the laboratory for a month.
But it must be admitted that this reclusive alchemist did look a little like a great scientist. At least … her current "appearance" was very close to the pictures of scientists that Fangzheng had seen in various history textbooks.
"Ah …! Nunnally, how did you get yourself like this again?! "
At this time, Culia, who was yawning, came out of the bedroom. When she saw Nunnally with a basin of bird's nest hair, the girl screamed.
"You're too casual in front of Lord Fangzheng. Ah, there's a guest here. Hurry up and take a shower. I want to know what you smell like!"
"Huh? But … I still have to explain to Mr. Fangzheng …. "
"No buts! You're a young girl. How can you face anyone after getting yourself like this? Hurry up and take a shower. I'll take care of Lord Fangzheng! "
While speaking, Culia pushed the dissatisfied Nunnally into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. The girl let out a long sigh, then turned around and walked up to Fangzheng and bowed respectfully to him.
"Sorry, Lord Fangzheng, I've embarrassed myself …."
"It's nothing."
Of course, Fangzheng wouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart. He knew Na Nali's temperament, so he didn't care much about it. On the contrary, Fangzheng was rather interested in what the Alchemist Warlock had said.
"By the way, she said that the experiment is almost done?"
"Ah, that's right. Please follow me."
As expected of someone who used to work as a receptionist in the Alchemist Association, Kulia's introduction was well-organized. She brought Fangzheng, the vampire, and Tina to the experiment table at the side. There were already several wooden boxes used for soilless cultivation experiments placed there. There were even numbers written on them, and judging from the planting situation, it was clear at a glance.
"Nunnally has prepared 15 sets of nutrient solution, but after screening, only five sets meet the conditions for another experiment. Sir Fangzheng, what you're seeing now are the last three sets. You can say that each has its own pros and cons."
"Oh?"
Fangzheng's interest was piqued.
"What do you mean?"
"The first set has the best performance so far. It can be said that it has completely met the standards required by Sir Fangzheng. The crops grew very fast, and there were no abnormalities after the fruits ripened. It's just that the nutrient solution formula has a high requirement for precision, and it requires some expensive raw materials. In short, only a regular alchemist can prepare it. Ordinary apprentices can't do it. As for the second set …. Although the configuration requirements are not high and the cost is relatively low, the temperature requirements are very harsh. It's very likely to fail in extremely cold or hot climates. The third set can achieve the desired effect perfectly, but one of the raw materials is not easy to find …. "
"Hmm …. That's a problem, but it's not our problem."
Fangzheng obviously understood what Kulia meant. The fertilizer they had previously sold to the Northern Chamber of Commerce belonged to the category where the raw materials were simple and convenient. Furthermore, it was very easy to produce. Even an alchemist apprentice could produce it. That was why it could be produced in large quantities. However, this nutrient solution could only be concocted by an official Alchemist, which was a bit too difficult for people to concoct. After all, the number of regular alchemists was very limited. It was impossible to let all of them do this kind of work.
But this was not a problem for Fangzheng. As he said, the nutrient solution was mainly sold to the Kingdom of Saint to change the current situation. If the Kingdom of Saint could see the great value contained in it, they would naturally put in a lot of effort to improve and develop it.
For Fangzheng, this thing was mainly used to bridge the relationship between himself and the Kingdom of Saint …. Of course, mutual benefit was still very important.
"Are the crops grown edible?"
"No problem. Miss Nimf has also checked. According to her, the crops grown with this nutrient solution seem to be more nutritious than crops grown purely from soil."
"Show me the cost comparison table of the three sets."
"Okay."
Culia was obviously prepared. When she heard Fangzheng's order, she immediately took out a notebook from the side. Fangzheng took it and quickly flipped through it. Fortunately, Nunnally didn't use any "Black Dragon Blood" or something like that to make the raw material formula this time, but ….
"What is this unknown purple substance?"
Fangzheng pointed to the strange name recorded on the notebook. According to his observation, this thing seemed to be an important part of the third set of nutrient solution. Nunnally had written where to find the other raw materials, but this thing ….
"This …."
"Oh, you mean this, Mr. Fangzheng."
Hearing until here, Culia's expression was a little strange. At this moment, Nunnally came out of the bathroom. At this moment, the Alchemist had washed herself clean and finally looked like a human.
"I was just about to ask you where you got this thing from."
"Ask me?"
Faced with Nunnally's sudden question, Fangzheng was taken aback.
"Ask me what?"
"It's like this. I accidentally found that purple thing near the Southern Portal when I was taking a walk outside. I thought it was a mushroom or something, but after testing it, I found that it's very suitable to be used as a nutrient solution formula! But …. I don't know where to find this thing …. "
"What purple mushroom?"
Faced with Na Nali's incessant description, Fangzheng was even more baffled. As for Na Nali, she hurriedly took a box from the experiment table beside her and opened it.
"This is it!"
"This is …."
Fangzheng curiously leaned over to take a look. When he saw the true face of the "purple mushroom", he was completely speechless.
Isn't this …. a 'Creep'?
Could it have been accidentally dropped by some Zerg when passing through the Teleportation Gate?
Fangzheng couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him with a strange expression.
