Chapter 33 Investing
Sophie Rukia is very mobile.

She returned to her acting director's office and began to decipher Link's germination method.

The following information is known:
[-]. The germination methods of Silver Star Flower seeds are mainly based on the secondary mist and rain technique and the germination technique;
Second, Link Grande’s work diary shows that he comes twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening;
Third, Link Grand used the secondary fog and rain technique twice on the evening of the first day, but did not use the birthing technique;

Germination is successful in four or six days, or to be more precise, five and a half days;

Fifth, the germination success rate is over 70%, indicating that this method is more effective in restoring the vitality of problem seeds. There is no abuse of germination technology, and it may even be used with caution.

Based on the above items, Sophie Rukia used the exhaustive method to list dozens of ways to use the secondary mist rain technique and birthing technique together.

Combined with the relevant knowledge and research of the secondary mist and rain technique and birthing technique, Sophie Rukia removed some obviously unreasonable collocation methods, and the workload dropped sharply.

The next step is to conduct experiments, verify one by one, and rule out one by one.

Thus, it is determined whether the secondary fog and rain technique is performed once or twice every morning, whether the birth-inducing technique is performed once a day, or once every two or three days, and whether the birth-inducing technique is performed in the morning or in the evening...

Sophie Lucia is confident that after the experiment is completed, the new germination method of Silver Star Flower seeds will definitely be tried.

There is not much time left for Link.

Not more than two weeks.

……

Link has never been afraid to speculate on human nature with the worst possible malice.

He intuitively felt that he must seize the time, complete experiments, collect data, write papers, and apply for patents.

Otherwise, it is very likely to be intercepted by others.

This other person is not necessarily Sophie Lucia.

There are so many people in the world, wizarding organizations are blooming everywhere, and wizarding apprentices are everywhere. Even if there is a coincidence, there is another person who thinks the same as Link, does the same thing, and has the same results. That is still possible.

After all, his germination method is not complicated, let alone sophisticated. It can be devised by just piercing a layer of window paper.

However, conducting experiments requires funding.

Link's pocket is cleaner than his face.

That is to say, River South College of Biology and Medical Sciences provides food and accommodation. Otherwise, Link would not be able to concentrate on his studies. He would have to find a way to work and earn money to support himself.

So, where do the experimental funds come from?
Link couldn't help but look up at Jasmine who was sitting opposite.

This is a little rich woman with money in her pocket, maybe she can have a soft meal?
Thinking like this, I couldn't move my eyes inadvertently.

"???"

Jasmine felt Link's scorching gaze, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Why did you come to such an affectionate gaze so suddenly?

Is this dead wood finally enlightened?

Not like ah!

Jasmine blinked her eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden? Have you finally discovered my beauty and understood me?"

When Link heard this, he didn't respond positively, and also looked away.

The idea that he had just suddenly came up with was actually very inappropriate, so he discarded it in time.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that you should be promoted soon."

Link talked about him from left to right, and found a topic at random.

Jasmine curled her lips, feeling suspicious.

She didn't think Link looked at her like that just because he remembered it.

Just this morning, she described her meditation progress in detail.

So what happened to Link?
Jasmine guessed.

It must be something that is not easy to talk about, otherwise Link's character and style would not allow him to back down so temporarily.

Thinking back on what Link has been busy with these past two days, a few words popped into Jasmine's mind, "Silver Star Flower", "germination", "experiment", "data", and "paper".

Jasmine suddenly understood.

But she didn't say anything, instead she lowered her head and continued reading as if nothing had happened.

It's getting late.

It's time to leave the library again.

Link sent Jasmine downstairs to her dormitory and was about to say goodbye.

"Wait for me here."

Jasmine spoke first.

After saying that, without waiting for Link's reply, Jasmine ran straight upstairs.

When Link saw this, he changed his mind and knew that Jasmine had guessed what he hadn't said earlier through understanding him.

This made Link feel a little embarrassed.

But it’s not good to just leave without saying goodbye, otherwise it will appear heartless, courageous, and irresponsible.

"I guess you have something you want to do but lack the capital to start."

Not long after, Jasmine returned downstairs, put a small box into Link's hand, and said in a strong tone that did not allow for rejection, "There are five standard first-level magic stones in it. It's my investment for you. Things will happen in the future." If it succeeds, you have to give me back the capital plus dividends. Even if it fails, you can’t lose to me!"

As soon as the words fell, the person ran away.

It looked like he wouldn't refuse Link.

Link watched Jasmine disappear around the corner, squeezed the small box in his hand, and felt a surge of heat in his heart.

After all, the efforts made over the past period of time were not wrongly paid.

but……

We can’t use so many magic stones!
"Hey!"

Link sighed.

The kindness is hard to turn down, so I can only accept it with tears.

……

It’s not too late, get ready.

Link went straight to the life service building, the fourth floor.

I went into a store that deals in plant seeds, germination equipment, nutrient solutions, plant medicines, etc. After some selection, I bargained on the price.

Link successfully purchased the seeds required for six sets of experiments: A, B, C, D, W, and J, for the price of half a standard first-level magic stone.

There are half magic stones specially used for trading in the store, and you can get change.

Then for the price of two standard first-level magic stones, I got a set of second-hand greenhouse simulation equipment that was [-]% new.

With this thing, Link can do experiments in the dormitory instead of going to the third botanical garden.

It is convenient and safe, and there is no need to worry about the experiment being destroyed or data leakage.

Therefore, how important it is for researchers to have a dedicated laboratory, or even a laboratory building, or even a group of experimental buildings.

Link shook the small box which was a lot lighter. The five magic stones he had just received cost him two and a half yuan in a short time.

If he wanted to work part-time, his salary would only be two standard first-level magic stones per month.

Although the workload is not very heavy and it is not tiring at all, the recruitment threshold is not low.

Money is really hard to make, but it’s hard to spend it!
Putting the seed bag in his pocket, carrying the equipment, and returning to the dormitory, Link continued to get busy.

Assemble equipment, set parameters, mark seeds, and group them into categories.

It didn't take long for Link to make all the preparations before the experiment.

Link took a short rest and checked to see if there were any omissions.

After confirming that everything was in place, Link scattered the six sets of seeds into the corresponding areas of the greenhouse simulation equipment one by one.

And let it live like this overnight, and it will start to germinate tomorrow morning.

After everything was done, he clapped his hands, took a look at the results of his work, and went to wash up happily.
