The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Before Xia Yu could reply, the young man quickly ran to the back of the house. With a heavy slamming of the door and the jingling sound of a large number of items falling to the ground, the alchemy shop briefly regained its calm. .

...Is this really a researcher?

The huge contrast with the scientific researchers in the past world made Xia Yu full of doubts about this alchemy workshop.It’s not reliable, why don’t we just leave like this?Just as Xia Yu was about to turn around and leave, a young man with two bruises on his body came back dragging a chair.

"You are Xia Yu, you are cheating flowers and slimes...that's right! Wait a minute, I'm going to get sugar right now. She should be conducting research on the cultivation of sweet flowers around Mondstadt City. ." The young man who finished speaking didn't even give Xia Yu a chance to speak before he started running towards the city gate again.

This...

He had no idea what the other party was doing, but his self-absorbed drive when it came to things related to experiments was in line with the researchers in the original world who were obsessed with research.

Judging from what the other party said before leaving, the researcher he was looking for was called Sugar, and he should be engaged in research related to biology.It's no wonder that the other party is interested in me who can get close to monsters.

Taking advantage of the time when the young man ran to find someone, Xia Yu's eyes turned to the stone platform covered with runes that the young man had just manipulated. Because he was walking too fast, the bright red product contained in the glass bottle seemed to be the finished product. The potions were still placed on the stone platform.

It is pure, transparent, and the color is fully consistent. Although the young man seems very unreliable when operating it, from a sensory perspective, the quality of this bottle of potion should be very good. A large amount of fire element is still present. It flows quietly inside the vial, and its properties are very similar to those of the fire-type slime when it remains in a dark red state.

What a beautiful potion!If one were to classify according to the definition of the original world, the young man who refined this bottle of fire potion should have chosen a research direction similar to chemistry.

"Hello, sir, would you like to come to my grocery store while you wait? Although the store is not big, we have a warehouse in Liyue Port. The types, quality and delivery speed of the items are all the best in Mondstadt. No. [-]~"

The sales voice of a woman coming from a nearby grocery store attracted Xia Yu's attention. He turned around and saw that the salesperson in the store was looking at him with a smile on his face, not showing any interest in the product he was holding. Flowers create fear.

Salt, pepper, wheat, potatoes...the variety of groceries displayed as samples in the store can be said to be quite complete.It just so happened that he really needed to buy some. After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yu came to the grocery store.

"Hello, if there is a storage warehouse, the goods should be more than what is in the store, right?" Looking at the salesperson who nodded to him, Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and then he continued to ask: "Do you have a list of items for sale?"

If you are lucky, the raw materials for the semi-finished seasonings you need should be available here.

————————————————————————

"Hello, are you Xia Yu?" While Xia Yu was shopping, a weak girl's voice from beside him attracted his attention.

The voice sounded familiar, and I felt like I had heard it somewhere before, but the difference in tone was a bit different... Xia Yu turned to look at the source of the voice and saw a green-haired girl wearing researcher clothing.

The girl in front of her, who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, has long green hair. However, it seems that for the convenience of conducting experiments, the girl's smooth long hair was tied into a long single ponytail and left behind her head. .

The delicate face of Guazi wears a pair of large half-frame glasses, but apart from making the girl look quiet and weak, it still cannot hide her beautiful appearance.

The most eye-catching thing is the girl's pair of furry, half-drooped green animal ears. As the girl breathes, the animal ears on both sides are also swaying gently. The novel feeling makes Xia Yu couldn't help but want to touch one. But considering that they were still strangers, I still endured it.

Quiet and weak, this is the first impression the girl left on Xia Yu in terms of temperament alone, but if her clothes are also included, it is a different story.

The researcher's clothing, which should have been very plain, turned out to be an ultra-short dress. The black leggings and white high-waisted leather boots made the girl's even but tight legs look particularly eye-catching.

"Hello, I am Sugar from the Biological Alchemy School of the Knights of the West Wind. I heard that Mr. Xia Yu can communicate with monsters, so I would like to ask for your help." The girl who bowed to Xia Yu looked extremely polite.

Although her tone was still very weak, Xia Yu could feel from the determination and seriousness in Sugar's eyes that she valued this hard-won opportunity.

Although he admired Sugar's love for research, he was the one who needed to cooperate. Xia Yu was not impressed enough to agree immediately.

"Can you ask me what I need to do? If you want me to help you get close to wild monsters, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." Looking at Sugar's confused look.Xia Yu pointed at the four little guys following him, and then added: "Because the four of them came here on their own initiative, their personalities seem to me to be particularly docile."

"In general, it's like raising four very smart little pets. As you keep them, you'll get better and better... If it's a monster that approaches the wild on its own initiative, I don't know what will happen."

"Is that so..." After listening to Xia Yu's explanation, Sugar's mood became much calmer than before. After thinking for a while, Sugar continued: "In this case, can you please ask Mr. Xia Yu and me? How about testing it first with a small slime with rock attributes?"

"In terms of destructive power alone, small rock-type slimes are the least threatening among all slimes. Also, I want to record their information. Don't worry, I'm just doing some measurement work and won't do it. Taking samples and other actions that cause harm to them.”

"In addition, I will do my best to protect your safety, Mr. Xia Yu. Even though I am just a researcher, in terms of strength, I can still easily deal with the small monsters around Mondstadt."

Xia Yu, who felt the flow of light cyan elements floating next to Sugar, knew that what the girl said was true. After all, he was a member of the Knights of the West Wind, and he also needed to go out to conduct biological research. It couldn't be justified without two brushes.

However... the light cyan light swirling around the sugar is mixed with a small amount of purple dust-like elemental particles. Although the number is very rare and the color is not particularly bright, they do exist.

The light point of thunder element?Sugar is actually a magician who can control dual elements?Since they have not been in Teyvat for a long time, not many people have experienced obvious elemental retention reactions in their own eyes after receiving the blessings of the Qiuqiu people's shamans.

Kaia, who was surrounded by bright white light, calmly compressed the cyan halo with the acting leader of the knights, Qin, and Kori and Xiangling, who were as red as the little sun at all times.

Then there is the unknown girl with whom he had a chance encounter when he woke up from a coma, with a blue light filled with enthusiasm and warmth. If you want to count, the magician who is surrounded by purple lightning near Chenxi Winery. Junior girls can also be included.

But without exception, the color of the light that lingered around them was very pure. This was the first time that he had seen a light with a single attribute like sugar mixed with a very small amount of other elements.

Could it be that the weak girl in front of me is a genius?

In this case, you can give it a try... Anyway, it's just a small rock-type slime, which can solve some of your confusion.It's certainly worth trading a period of not-too-much troublesome assisting work for a small yard.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu nodded, and then said: "Okay, let's try it with the rock slime first, but I refuse to deal with obviously dangerous monsters. After all, my combat ability is completely ordinary." human standards.”

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Chapter 17: Sugar: Anyway, I haven’t seen him before, so there’s no problem in pretending.

Following Sanduang, they arrived outside the city of Mondstadt. While searching for rock-type slimes, Xia Yu asked Grantang curiously where alchemy was used in the world. He finally opened it. Xia Yu was stunned by Chatterbox's detailed explanation.

The first is the definition of alchemy. It is roughly the same as my guess. In the continent of Teyvat, most of the content related to chemical and biological properties is classified into alchemy.In Sugar's description, the most important thing about alchemy is to understand its essence, and the second is to create new life forms.

There is one person whose research line is closest to this point, and that is Albedo, the most powerful genius among them.

As long as he understands the structure and ingredients of the items being refined, Abedo can even perform alchemy similar to 3D printing to create the corresponding items after drawing the items.Xia Yu was shocked when he heard this.

Secondly, sugar is what she is good at. According to classification, sugar research can be more classified into biotechnology research.

For example, the exploration of the nature and cultivation methods of sweet flowers, the inference of the manifestation of biological genetic information characteristics... Xia Yu was surprised by the content and results of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Sugar's research on alchemy.

For example, during the research, the number of flowers per plant of Tiantianhua increased, the size of the flowers increased, and the sugar production increased by about [-]% compared with the original. These are all by-products of the research process, but just the by-products are It's shocking enough.

"Although I am not as good as Mr. Abedo in terms of broad-based alchemy, I am still quite confident in bio-alchemy!" Sugar, who introduced his work content to Xia Yu, finally gave up when talking about professional knowledge. She lost the weak feeling before and revealed a strong sense of confidence, as if she was a different person.

"Just like this." As if to make his words more convincing, Sanduang took out a small purple bag and a small glass bottle filled with purple powder from his pocket.

"This is the spores of the Mist Grass and the complete Mist Grass. The Mist Grass will emit a very special pheromone to let the flying fireflies who like this kind of scent approach them. At this time, if you use the spores of the Mist Grass to feed If you use these flying fireflies, they won’t attack you.”

"Despite their small size, Feiying has the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child..." For some reason, Sugar suddenly stopped in the middle of his explanation, and the girl with an embarrassed expression on her face glanced secretly. After taking a look at Xia Yu and finding that there was nothing unusual, Sutang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain.

"At this time, even ordinary people without God's Eyes can control the flying fireflies to launch attacks as long as they can find the items used to guide them. Of course, the flying fireflies do not obey the words of humans, but the humans use them to control the flying fireflies. The instructions for Yingying's props are quite different from those of Xia Yu and these monsters."

What a detailed explanation!Xia Yu couldn't help but admire the girl's reserve of knowledge.At the same time, another thing aroused Xia Yu's curiosity: Sugar is so powerful, so what kind of superb attainments does Abedo, whom she admires, have in alchemy?

Many semi-finished seasonings that you need to use need time to brew, such as doubanjiang, which has a spicy and mellow flavor and a strong sauce aroma. In addition to good raw materials, the most critical thing is the brewing time.

High-quality bean paste must be brewed and dried for at least five years. Time, the important catalyst, plays an extremely important role in the brewing process.In other words, even if it is the entry-level Doubanjiang, it will be at least a year before I want to use it. How can I endure this kind of thing?

It would be perfect if alchemy could create a device that speeds up the fermentation process!Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked Granulated Sugar: "Can alchemy create a device that accelerates the fermentation process? Just like the process of making wine and cheese fermentation, can alchemy accelerate this process?"

Considering that Sugar didn't know Doubanjiang, Xia Yu specifically used two foods that could be seen in Mondstadt as examples. After thinking for a while, Sugar didn't answer directly. The girl frowned slightly from time to time. Judging from her brows, it seemed like she wasn't sure whether she could do such a thing.

"If we can understand the principles, I think there is still hope, but it is best to discuss this issue with Mr. Abedo. His overall understanding of alchemy is much better than mine." Finally, the answer was given. The sugar still gave Xia Yu some hope.

In her own eyes, sugar is already powerful enough, so what kind of profound attainments does Albedo, whom she admires, have in alchemy?

————————————————————————

After walking along the road for a long time, the two finally found a rock-type slime lying on the marcasite mine and looking around.

The rock-type slime, with its round black and gray body, several pairs of small rock horns on its head, and its two big orange eyes, looked particularly cute.After seeing Xia Yu and Sugar, the little guy stared straight at them with his big round eyes, seemingly wary.

In order not to anger the little guy, the two stopped far away from it.As if to make Xia Yu feel at ease, Sugar said:

"Small rock-type slimes pose a very low threat. The only attack method they can use is to use the protruding rock horns on their heads to launch collisions, and their speed is also the slowest among all slimes. For an average adult male, the fastest speed a small rock-type slime can reach is roughly when taking a walk while admiring the scenery."

Is it so slow?In his academic state, Sugar's explanation, which was not mixed with any subjective strength, made Xia Yu look again at the small black-gray horned ball that he was about to approach. The little guy swaying slightly from side to side was staring at him with round eyes like lightbulbs. The direction of the two of them.

It seems that he wants to make himself appear more majestic. The rock-type slime swells and shrinks like a deflated balloon that is repeatedly inflated. The grass attached to the corners of the rock above his head also sways gently. Looking at it, there was an inexplicable and ugly feeling that made Xia Yu couldn't help laughing.

There really wasn't much of a threat. Xia Yu tried to take two steps forward and found that the little guy's behavior still didn't change much. It was still stuck in place motionless as it repeated the process of expansion and contraction, as if Xia Yu himself couldn't move. There is general.

This... strange phenomenon caught Xia Yu's attention.

According to common sense, there are many ways for creatures with certain intelligence to save their lives when encountering enemies that are much stronger than themselves: pretending to be strong as a deterrent, pretending to be dead to avoid hunters who only eat live creatures, or Just slip away.This change of direction also proves that Sugar has indeed crushed this little rock-type slime in terms of strength.

But why does it seem like it doesn’t exist on my side?In order to prove his conjecture, Xia Yu, who stopped moving forward, walked a short distance diagonally to the right. When he found that the direction of the gray-black ball's gaze had not changed, Xia Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The little guy was only wary of sugar, and then he was ignored?After trying to take a few steps forward again, when he was only one meter away from the rock slime, the little guy finally turned his head as if he had discovered himself.

After the big eyes like lightbulbs flashed, the rock-type slime stopped expanding and contracting, and then struggled to move in the direction of Xia Yu.The anxious expression of the gray-black ball full of energy made Xia Yu even more curious.

Rather than hostility, the emotion when this gray-black ball about twenty centimeters in diameter rushed towards me was more like running away. When it took off, it didn't point the rock's horns at itself, and stretched out its hands to catch the little guy's round, soft ball. After tumbling, Xia Yu couldn't help it anymore.

The round rock-type little ball actually retracted its horns into its body on its own, and then found a perspective that could cover the direction of the sugar and plunged into his arms. The trembling little ball closed its eyes and actually regarded itself as a shelter. Place!In other words, the only thing this little guy was afraid of from the beginning was sugar.

"Pfft, hahahaha..." Xia Yu laughed out loud, which made Sugar, who was observing from a distance, doubtful about life.

Are you really that terrible?

————————————————————————

The slime family has added a new member again!Under the combined influence of his original slime and his own personal comfort, the newly added little gray-black ball finally overcame his fear of sugar.After being able to have a good conversation, Sugar on the side also pulled away and came over.

"Incredible!" Sartang looked at Xia Yu with a look full of envy. "Using this test, we can see that they are really close to you because of your personal reasons, Xia Yu. Moreover, you can also communicate with them..."

It would be great if this kind of talent appeared in me...

What is the most important thing about bioalchemy?The sense of affinity with nature must be the first to bear the brunt. Being able to approach all living creatures at will, and even let them approach you on their own initiative, is a unique talent for a bioalchemy researcher!

Pure elemental monsters, monsters transformed from plants, at least for now, these types of monsters with certain intelligence do not seem to be hostile to Xia Yu.

So...should we test it with that thing?Sugar felt a little confused in her heart.

No matter what he does!Even if he was really seen out, he could still use his identity as a researcher to fool him. Besides, I also explained relevant knowledge on the way here, so it just seemed like practice.

"Xia Yu, take this." After rummaging around in his pocket for a while, Sutang handed a small glass bottle to Xia Yu's hand.The glass vial containing the lavender powder shimmered in the sunlight. "Put it in your pocket first." After saying that, Granu dug out a small purple cloth bag that looked like a sachet.

"These are the Wuxu Flower spores and the grass sacs wrapped in the Wuxu Flower leaves that we just explained on the way. I will try to attract a few Lei Ying over later."

Looking at Xia Yu's slightly uneasy look, Sugar continued: "Don't worry, Lei Ying is much weaker than slimes. If they really attack you, just with this person beside you, A few slimes can easily take care of them, not to mention a trick flower...but there's something wrong with the attributes."

"If you feel in danger, just take out the vial of Wuxu flower spores from your pocket and open it. They won't attack you." Looking at Xia Yu who nodded and looked nervous, Shantang put the Wuxu flower sac in his hand. In his hand, a small whirlwind appeared in the palm of Granu's hand.

After spinning the cloth bag for a short period of time, the small whirlwind exploded with a bang like a firecracker. After the sweet and unique aroma spread with the wind, several purple lights with a size of only five or six centimeters were revealed. The point quickly moved towards the direction of Sanduang and Xia Yu.

Seeing this scene, Granu immediately poured a handful of Mist Flower spores into the palm of his hand. After seeing the purple light spot approaching, Granu gently lifted the spores into the air.

In Xia Yu's curious eyes, three small purple light spots quickly circled around the sugar. After all the foggy flower spores in the air were absorbed by the small light spots, Xia Yu finally saw clearly these three airborne instigators. The shape of a little guy with wings.

In terms of shape alone, the wings of these three purple little guys are somewhat similar to those of dragonflies in previous lives, except that they have a pair of wings on the side and a pair on the tail.The round body has several pairs of small tentacles that seem to be used for exploration. The bright purple thing in the middle of the body, which is only a little bigger than a pea, is looking at him curiously.

Is this Lei Ying?

While Xia Yu was looking at the three little Lei Yings, Sugar was also carefully observing the difference in the attitudes of the three little guys towards himself and Xia Yu.

Because it was Lei Ying who fed him, they did not attack him. According to common sense, if Xia Yu were replaced by an ordinary person, then these three Lei Ying would have definitely started to attack that person.

It takes about two seconds for Lei Ying to go from charging to releasing a small penalty ball that can make people feel slightly numb. This is enough time for herself to remind Xia Yu to take out the spores of Wuxu Flower from his pocket.Once this is done, Lei Ying will definitely lose the desire to attack when she sees the food.

But...it seems like this step can be omitted.

Although she didn't express her closeness as obviously as Slime, Lei Ying and Xia Yu's eyes were more curious than wary.In other words, Lei Ying is very interested in people like Xia Yu.

"Xia Yu, would you like to grab a handful of Wuxu flower spores in your hand?"

At Gran Sugar's prompt, Xia Yu took out the small glass bottle from his pocket. Before he could open it, there were three more little guys standing in rows on his arms. After the bright colors completely disappeared, only dark purple remained.

This... Lei Ying actually let down her guard completely! ?Sugar, who has been dealing with this kind of small insect monster all year round, knows very well that although he can usually control Lei Ying after feeding it with Mist Flower spores, they are actually wary of him because they always have some thunder elements in their bodies.

This state of releasing the attachment of the thunder element is only possible in a state of complete trust. In other words, these three Lei Ying were directly bought by the Wuxu Flower spores given by Xia Yu.

It turns out that insect and plant-type monsters will not attack, but they need to be fed some food to appear friendly.Although he obtained extremely valuable experimental records, Sugar still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

They are obviously the same Mist Flower spores, why are there such big differences...

Chapter 18 Surprised Qin

After several hours of research, Xia Yu, who worked in conjunction with Gran Sugar, also learned a lot about monsters.Among them, the most information is related to the group of slimes of various colors next to him.

Slimes are pure elemental lifeforms with certain intelligence that are produced from various elements in the Teyvat continent under specific circumstances. Because they are pure elemental lifeforms, the staple food of slimes is mainly free corresponding elements. Particles, followed by ordinary foods that they occasionally want to taste when they are interested.

Therefore, as long as they can disarm their vigilance, slimes are actually quite easy to raise - as long as you prepare a few places for them to absorb elements, slimes can be self-sufficient.

For example, put the fire-type slimes and the fire-type slimes together, find a source of living water for the water-type slimes, and place the grass-type slimes on the grass and wait for them to choose a location. Drilling into the soil, there is also a rock-type slime that is best to feed. As long as it can touch the earth, it can grow slowly.

Adult slimes can eventually reach a diameter of more than one meter. By then, they can be considered competent magicians who can simply use the corresponding elements.

In addition, there are small gel blocks secreted by slimes on a regular basis. Since ordinary people cannot be in contact with high-concentration elements for a long time, these gel blocks are extremely harmful to ordinary people.

But it is different for monsters. Gel blocks rich in inactive elements are the best food for them to taste and increase their strength. Therefore, under normal circumstances, all monsters will not be interested in those appearing in their territory. Slime attacks.

"Actually, I think Mr. Xia Yu, you can also try these gel blocks." When talking about this topic, Granu looked at Xia Yu with a very strange expression. As for the reason why Granu said this, it was also well-founded.

The most toxic thing about slimes to ordinary people is the elements that are actively flowing in their bodies. According to the standard given by sugar, the number of slimes carried by Xia Yu is calculated. An ordinary young man with eyes carrying so much slime, even if he did nothing, would have to be sent to the cathedral in Mondstadt to receive treatment from a priest in less than half an hour.

The reasons for this situation are simple. Firstly, ordinary people cannot bear the accumulation of elements in the body. Secondly, even the collision of elemental particles will produce extremely slight elemental reactions.In other words, if someone like Xia Yu casually carries a bunch of slimes with different attributes, his body has actually become a battlefield for various elemental particles...

Small crystal blocks of corresponding elements appear when various attributes come into contact with rock attributes, the evaporation reaction between water and fire, the combustion when grass and fire element particles collide...
