Chapter 80: Dark Demon Enters the Dormitory
Apples are highly nutritious, rich in minerals and vitamins. They have a mild taste that can quench thirst, clear heat, relieve irritability, and aid digestion.
They also have a slight effect on invigorating the brain and calming the nerves.
After being processed by Huhu, this effect was slightly amplified.
There are many potions with similar functions, but it’s impossible for one apple alone to make such a delicious potion with these effects.
At this moment:
Dark suddenly realized that the Huhu bugs in this world might not have the ability to extract juice!
Otherwise, there would be juicers everywhere.
“I should check the library tomorrow.”
Dark continued his experiment.
This time, he used tangerines.
Three tangerines, three cups of tangerine juice.
The imp beast took the first sip.
Then its face turned pale, rushing to the toilet with splashing sounds. When it came out, it looked refreshed.
Dark didn’t touch the other two cups of tangerine juice.
Finally, he placed three pears inside Huhu’s shell to quickly ferment them.
The resulting three cups of pear juice smelled sweet and refreshing.
Without needing an order, the imp beast drank one cup in one go, then closed its eyes and savored it for a long time.
Dark asked, “How is it?”
The imp beast finally spoke, “It’s cool here, in this society.”
Dark: “…”
He took a sip of the pear juice and indeed felt a cool sensation in his throat, and a peculiar freshness in his lungs.
“Clearing heat and fire, relieving cough and moistening the lungs? It tastes like icy sugar snow pear.”
…
So Dark wrote in his notebook:
Apple Juice: Invigorates the brain.
Tangerine Juice: Aids digestion.
Pear Juice: Clears heat and lungs.
“Why do I feel like an old Chinese medicine practitioner?”
After writing, Dark smiled to himself.
Huhu’s ability was indeed powerful; it could ferment various fruits into juices with special effects.
However, the fruits used in the experiments were ordinary, so the special effects were not particularly strong.
Next weekend, he could go to Traveler’s Street to pick some fruits with special effects to ferment, perhaps obtaining juices comparable to magic potions.
Also, the fruit from the Grass Cat Plant seemed fermentable as well.
These were all points worth considering.
…
After summarizing, Dark nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the remaining four cups of juice.
“It seems Rose said she has poor digestion, probably because she ate too much beef with Diana.”
“Yeah, Diana gets sleepy when reading at night, and eating too much beef can cause internal heat.”
“Perfect, two cups each.”
Dark didn’t think much about it and found a plate, carrying the four cups of juice out.
Diana’s room was 233, and Rose’s was 234, easy to remember.
This was Dark’s first time entering the female dormitory area, feeling that even the floor seemed cleaner than the male dorms.
Fortunately, it was already past nine o’clock at night, and the corridor was empty.
Dark arrived at 233 and knocked on the door.
“Who is it—”
A soft voice came from inside.
“It’s me.”
“Ah! Ah ah ah?”
Dark waited outside for a moment, and Diana opened the door, blushing.
She looked up at Dark and whispered, “Why did you come over so late?”
Dark smiled faintly and moved the plate down, “I made extra juice.”
“Is that so?”
Diana twisted the corner of her nightgown, stepping back slightly to leave a gap.
“Come in!”
“Is it appropriate?”
Dark hadn’t planned on going in, but since he was here, he might as well sit for a bit.
They were good friends in the academy.
Both dorm rooms were similarly sized, but visually, Diana’s room appeared narrower than Dark’s.
She must have spent many credits decorating her room, with pink wallpaper and bear plushies everywhere, including a noticeable black-and-white bear with a bow tie on its ear.
Uh…
“Isn’t that Diana’s familiar?”
Dark glanced at the panda familiar forced into a floral dress, suddenly feeling grateful for his own imp beast, which didn’t have to wear a dress.
Dark placed the plate down, picked up a cup of tangerine juice and apple juice, and moved them to the desk.
On the desk lay unfinished problem sets, suggesting Diana had just been working on them.
“Tangerine juice aids digestion, but don’t drink too much.”
“Apple juice refreshes the mind. Drink a little if you’re tired.”
Diana leaned over and sniffed, then returned the tangerine juice to Dark, “I don’t need this.”
Dark: “Alright, understood.”
Then, Diana picked up the apple juice and drank it all in one gulp.
After a while, her eyes lit up, suddenly feeling much clearer, “It’s here! My state is back.”
Dark smiled slightly, “Would you like some pear juice? It clears heat and fire.”
“Hehe.” Diana’s eyes shifted, pointing to the next room, “Give it to Rose, she’s feeling fiery.”
Dark nodded, “Then I’ll go over.”
Diana: “Okay!”
…
Thus, Dark knocked on Rose’s door again.
Rose opened the door and peeked out, inviting him in after seeing Dark.
She wore a white nightgown, with a slightly protruding belly, and cracked lips, clearly having eaten too much beef and not yet digested it.
Dark left the tangerine juice and pear juice with her.
After returning to the dorm, Dark glanced at the last cup of tangerine juice, contemplating whether to drink it or not, and finally decided to drink it.
Indeed, after coming out of the bathroom, he felt more refreshed.
“Apple juice and pear juice are both good things, maybe I should keep some on hand.”
…
The calendar flipped to the next page.
On Tuesday, during the first class’s duel lesson,
Professor Jones learned that the first-year students had all crafted new mana spirit cards yesterday and randomly selected a few students to demonstrate battles on stage.
With the variety of new mana spirits, the duels between students were much more exciting compared to when they only had magical beasts.
Someone suggested holding another in-class competition like the previous one.
But Professor Jones indicated that it wasn’t time yet.
Mana Spirit Cards were the largest category among the five types of mana cards. The next in-class competition would be held once most students had crafted their first magic spell card or item card.
As for field cards and secret rite cards, they were extremely advanced topics, and she didn’t expect the first-year students to learn them in the first semester.
After class, Wit arrived as scheduled, repaying the 1 credit he owed Dark.
The hero’s child showed his usual enthusiasm in paying debts.
Dark accepted the credit and considered how to craft a magic spell card or item card.
“Perhaps I can use the juice fermented by Huhu as core material.”
