Chapter 256: magical alchemy seed
On the weekend, in addition to her regular opera performances, Jia Na would also record the exclusive cassette audio version of "song of the ocean" for Olivia with David-Berg and Crane-Roland.
However, by Sunday night, even though Jia Na had recorded it over ten times, it still hadn't been finalized.
Although Jia Na's singing skills were as stable as ever, due to the two directors constantly coming up with inexplicable inspirations on the spot, Jia Na had to repeatedly record according to the newly revised lyrics and melody during the singing process.
Towards the later stage of recording, the two directors would frequently quarrel due to conflicting ideas—Jia Na, who had initially tried to mediate, later simply watched silently.
Jia Na, who had completely positioned herself as a "singing tool," no longer meddled in others' business and simply hoped for the recording to finish quickly so she could return to her dormitory early to review the next week's lessons—
This morning, Jia Na had received the latest class schedule delivered by a Raven.
Aside from Grace-Eva's Black Magic Defense class, which would continue to be postponed, Anthony-Black Sparrow's and Mary-Margaret's classes would return to their normal pace starting next week.
And Anthony-Black Sparrow's long-awaited Intermediate Healing class was scheduled for Monday evening.
In addition, following the "reading task," Jia Na also completed a white-level task during the weekend.
This allowed the upgrade progress of Jia Na's Zhiwu Qinhe talent to successfully climb to 97%.
Jia Na speculated that at this rate, her Zhiwu Qinhe talent would officially upgrade to A-level before next weekend.
This also meant that a preliminary conclusion would be reached next week regarding the Growth Law Fragment, which had remained inactive.
That is, will the Growth Law Fragment be affected by the Zhiwu Qinhe talent?
"I'll be leaving now, everyone."
"Goodbye, Jia Na~"
As Jia Na formally said goodbye to the Nightingale Opera Troupe members, Jia Na, who had cast Psychological Invisibility, walked along the main road towards the Alchemy supply store next to it.
After being attacked by a vampire last time, Jia Na also realized that even the seemingly safe Wizard Gathering Place could be subjected to various unexpected dangers.
Therefore, when she got off work, Jia Na would walk along the main road with a large flow of people, trying to avoid being alone.
Anyway, Jia Na, who had cast Psychological Invisibility, didn't have to worry about being recognized by ordinary people. As for those extraordinary individuals with astonishing observational abilities, as long as they weren't like Earle-Blood Red, who had specifically targeted Jia Na beforehand, they also wouldn't be able to see through the Psychological Invisibility Witchcraft.
After all, the principle of the Psychological Invisibility Witchcraft is merely to infinitely weaken Jia Na's sense of presence and does not produce much magical fluctuation.
"Ding-a-ling—"
As Jia Na gently pushed open the door of an Alchemy supply store called "Mouse's Home," the wind chimes hanging at the entrance gently swayed, emitting a crisp sound.
"Welcome to Mouse's Home, how may I help you?"
Greeting Jia Na was a curly-haired female server with slightly dark skin and a strong physique.
"I'd like to look at an Alchemy bathtub."
"Alright, this way, please."
The moment she entered the door, Jia Na dispelled the Psychological Invisibility Witchcraft. However, because she was wearing a large Wizard hood, the female server who greeted her did not recognize Jia Na's identity.
"This one is our store's latest new product. Not only can it condense magic power, making it convenient for your daily meditation, but it also has added functions such as automatic massage, automatic cleaning, and automatic water temperature adjustment—and the price is also very reasonable."
It only costs one hundred and eighty jin sule. Hearing the female server's introduction, Jia Na knew that this Alchemy bathtub was probably the new product that Vivian had recommended before.
"Okay, I'll take this one—can you install it at my place?"
Hearing Jia Na agree to purchase so readily, the smile on the female server's face became even more enthusiastic.
"Mouse's Home has always offered free on-site installation. You don't need to worry about that."
"Can you also install it at White Coral Academy?"
"Ah—this..."
Hearing that Jia Na was an apprentice at White Coral Academy, the female server's expression couldn't help but show some difficulty, but she quickly resumed a professional smile.
"If it's White Coral Academy, our staff may not be able to install it on-site. However, you only need to add one jin sule, and we can include a disposable Alchemy puppet for you to install it."
"An Alchemy puppet..."
Hearing the solution provided by the female server, Jia Na couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, let's go with what you recommended."
"Thank you for your patronage!"
The Alchemy bathtub was not small, and Jia Na's current thorn bracelet couldn't fit it. Fortunately, Jia Na still had an interdimensional space bag gifted by Jarvis Roland, which could just barely fit the Alchemy bathtub.
After that, Jia Na went to the Amaranthine Auction House to purchase a lot of precious metals such as mithril and high-energy ores. Even after waiving the handling fees, these items cost Jia Na thirteen thousand jin sule, which truly made Jia Na feel heartbroken.
"Money is really easy to spend—"
After putting these precious metals into her thorn bracelet, Jia Na, who had recast Psychological Invisibility and Light Feather Spell, returned to her dormitory before dark.
Subsequently, Jia Na took out the Alchemy bathtub and a spider-shaped Alchemy puppet from the interdimensional space bag, and according to the method taught by the female server at "Mouse's Home," she dripped a small amount of machine oil into the puppet's back slot to start it.
"Click-clack, click-clack—"
Accompanied by a sharp sound like teeth grinding, the spider-shaped Alchemy puppet scanned the surrounding environment before flexibly lifting the Alchemy bathtub and walking towards the washroom.
"Current Alchemy technology is truly advanced—"
Looking at the Alchemy puppet skillfully installing the Alchemy bathtub, Jia Na couldn't help but think of the Tower Spirit in the Magic Tower, which possessed intelligence no less than that of a human.
Even in her previous life, Jia Na had rarely seen such technological craftsmanship.
Not to mention, in the first-level Wizard Gathering Place known as the "City of Alchemy"—Sky City—how prosperous must the Alchemy craftsmanship be there? Thinking of this, Jia Na took out all the high-energy expensive metals she had purchased this time from her thorn bracelet, as well as the magical alchemy seed that Anthony-Black Sparrow himself had personally rewarded her with for achieving victory in the "Three-School Joint Examination" last time.
"This time, I refuse to believe you still won't change at all."
Looking at the magical alchemy seed in her hand, which still maintained its "metal pineapple" shape, Jia Na had spent a fortune this time just to let it eat its fill.
