Chapter 201 [The Test of Newcomers]

When Chen Daolin followed Carmen out of the building, he came to the door and saw the red-haired parrot standing on the platform - the bird man was staring at him, and the pair of little eyes were full of curiosity.

However, it was obviously very afraid of Carmen, and he hugged on the shelf timidly, and did not dare to say a word.

However, Carmen stopped at the door and glanced at the parrot at the corner of his eyes.

"How many days will your punishment be left?"

"Six…seven days."

"Six days or seven days? As a magician, can't you even count?" Carmen said coldly.

"Seven days." The parrot hung his head.

Carmen narrowed his eyes, she looked at the parrot carefully, and suddenly said, "The fur color is not bright enough, what have you changed?"

"Gold, macaw..."

"Fanique." Carmen snorted: "The purebred macaw should have red hair all over the body, not a single colored feather. There are two white feathers on your claws. Also, the hook on the beak is too curly, the tail is drooping, and the cheeks are a little white. Is this also called a purebred macaw? As a transforming practitioner, if you don't even know the transformed species, what else can you change?"

"I...I was wrong."

The parrot's tone was almost about to burst into tears.

Carmen was silent for a moment, then took a breath: "I am in a good mood today, so I will relieve you of your punishment. You will be exempted from the remaining seven-day transformed welcome work. Tomorrow you will be responsible for collecting a set of laboratory equipment to this Darling assistant teacher, and from now on, you will be responsible for following Darling assistant teacher to help him clean the laboratory for a month."

After saying this, not only the parrot, but even Chen Daolin was stunned.

The seven-day punishment... becomes a month?

This is called exemption?

The parrot was so scared that he didn't even dare to say anything, but nodded repeatedly. At this moment, it was not like a parrot, clearly looking like a lively chicken pecking at rice.

Then Carmen ignored the parrot and walked out of the room with big strides. Chen Daolin threw a bouquet of pity at the parrot and quickly chased after it.

"Do you have a residence in the Emperor?" Carmen asked as he walked.

"I……"

Chen Daolin was about to answer, but Carmen was already saying quickly: "Follow me, the work task is very heavy. Start today, you can move to the academy. You can choose a house by the lake."

After saying that, a piece of paper had already floated into Chen Daolin's hand. Chen Daolin looked down and saw a blank application form, and there was a line of signature at the end, which was clearly the name "Su Li. Carmen".

"I'll give you this thing. Just fill in whatever you need yourself and hand it over directly so as not to bother me again."

This woman is very decisive in doing things, but this kind of behavior makes Chen Daolin feel a little unhappy.

Although he originally planned to live in the academy, Carmen didn't even ask him, and made a decision on his behalf. This domineering style that did not care about the feelings of others made Chen Daolin mutter in his heart.

...

The Hogwarts Branch is located in the southeast corner of the Magic Academy. What surprised Chen Daolin was that there was a small square in front of the branch, but the flowerbed was full of tulips!

This tulip flower field made Chen Daolin feel a little strange in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Carmen's back deeply.

The Hogwarts Branch has no courtyard walls, surrounded by a circle of woods, with several paths passing through the woods, and the branch building is located in the woods.

Two streams passed through the forest and finally gathered into a small pond. Just beside the pond, a three-story building made of white boulders appeared in front of you.

"This is my laboratory... In the college, only our Hogwarts Branch has its own exclusive laboratory, and you don't have to go to the public laboratory to compete with those people for rooms." Carmen didn't stop at all, and said quickly: "But only students with top academic studies are qualified to apply for a laboratory here, as for you..."

She suddenly stopped and looked back at Chen Daolin, as if hesitating: "After a few days, if you can show the strength that matches the recipe you just mentioned, I will give you a laboratory dedicated to you. Before that, I still need to test your abilities, so you can do some tricks with me first."

Chen Daolin didn't speak, just remained silent - he understood that what Carmen said was not about discussing with him, but just "notifying" him.

This woman seemed to be used to this kind of dictatorship.

Walking into this white stone building, the entrance is a small hall with a corridor on both sides.

"I use all the places on the left. Your job is to help me organize all the materials I use in my daily life and do some simple preparation and testing according to my requirements." Carmen raised his hand and pointed to a door in the corridor on the left: "Now you are starting to work. There is a list in the laboratory, which is all the materials I need this afternoon, a total of twenty-one recipe lists. I need you to prepare these medicines as soon as possible."

After saying that, she glanced at an hourglass hanging in the corner: "I'll give you two hours."

Chen Daolin was completely speechless. He nodded to Carmen silently, then strode towards the door on the left.

The area of ​​this laboratory is indeed very large. It is divided into two floors, with a patio, with more than a dozen large laboratory benches on the ground and various magic test tools - at first glance, it looks very similar to the kind of chemical laboratories that are common in real-world universities.

The walls around are large and small, filled with various materials, and there are two doors inside that lead to the warehouse, where are there a large amount of magic materials and potions stored in it?

Chen Daolin saw a piece of parchment nailed there on a whiteboard, and it was indeed a list on it.

Chen Daolin only took a look and couldn't help but sigh.

"Twenty parts of intermediate acceleration synthesis agent; sixty parts of fire-based auxiliary amplification enhancer; twenty parts of vertigo psychedelic agent;………………Hell!”

Chen Daolin couldn't help but curse.

He was not an idiot who knew nothing. During his time in the East China Sea Governor's Mansion, he spent most of his time in the laboratory with Lucius, and was very familiar with all kinds of things in the laboratory.

According to his judgment, with such a large amount of work, even a very skilled magic apprentice would take at least a whole day to complete the work on this list!!

"This... this is an impossible task!! After doing these in two hours, what a joke!" Chen Daolin suddenly wanted to curse!

"It's just that this fire-based auxiliary amplification enhancer, the synthetic agent needs to be heated and cooled and other drugs to solidify, which takes three hours!" Chen Daolin had the urge to tear this list to pieces and then smash it on Carmen's beautiful face.

Thinking of myself, I thought I had left the wolf den of Liszt, but I didn't expect to come to the Magic Academy, but it was like I was entering the tiger den again. This Dean Carmen will be his own boss in the future, but this woman may not look like a boss who is easy to serve...

Let's take a look!

Chen Daolin sighed and then started the work.

I have to say that at this time, the magic knowledge inherited by Mrs. Stone highlighted its great value!

Mrs. Stone is a high-level alchemist! Alchemist has been dealing with the magic lab almost all his life, doing various magic experiments, and creating various magic equipment - any alchemist will almost spend most of his life in the magic lab.

The experience learned and accumulated throughout his life by Mrs. Stone is undoubtedly extremely valuable.

Embodied in Chen Daolin, he is equivalent to having all the theories and experiences of a master-level alchemist.

Any equipment in the laboratory can be used directly without any problem. He can only see all magic potions and recognize the types, and then all relevant messages will naturally pop up in his mind: medicinal properties, characteristics, suitable formulas, refined heat, etc.

If it were Chen Daolin two months ago and suddenly threw him into such a laboratory, he might have caught him blindly. But after all, in the Governor's Office of the East China Sea, Chen Daolin had more than a month of practical operation experience. More than a month was enough to integrate the various knowledge and experience in his mind with practical operation.

At this moment, Chen Daolin looked like a novices, just like an old alchemist who spent his whole life in the laboratory.

He took the list and quickly found piles of needed potions and materials from the warehouse, and then started working as if he was moving.

He can operate three sets of beakers while freeing his hands to select medicinal materials. When he waits for the time of the medicine to cool down, he can distract himself from the second use of the condensant. He can grind the powder and pound the medicine while synthesizing the medicine, and at the same time, he can operate three experimental benches for drug properties testing.

He even took the time to cook a pot of tea for himself!

He is like an octopus, without wasting almost every second, and making full use of every minute.

Two hours later, the door was pushed open and Carmen, wearing a red windbreaker, appeared at the door.

Chen Daolin held a cigarette roll in his mouth, holding a beaker in one hand, looking at the color of the medicine, and holding a watering can in the other hand spraying condensant into another bucket of potion.

Chen Daolin saw Carmen standing at the door, but he did not express anything, just quietly continued the work in his hands.

Carmen walked in slowly, and the woman's face began to be as cold as ever, but as she saw the progress in the laboratory, a trace of shock finally appeared on her face!

"How are you doing?" Carmen's eyes clearly showed a strange look.

"On the No. 3 platform No. 1 is the vertigo agent you want, on the No. 6 platform No. 6 is the intermediate acceleration agent, on the No. 1 platform No. 1 is the fire-type amplification you want..." Chen Daolin quickly reported his results, and at the same time looked at his hands: "What I have is the wind-type neutralizer in my hand, and the barrel on the right is the Oklala invisible decoction you want."

Speaking of this, Chen Daolin still held a cigarette in his mouth and deliberately looked at Carmen: "The pot on the table beside you is hot tea. If you are thirsty, you can pour yourself a cup. I washed it and it was clean."

Carmen stopped talking.

She squinted her eyes, then quickly walked to the experimental tables, and after a quick check, she turned around and looked at Chen Daolin and frowned: "The fire-type amplification...it seems to be insufficient."

"Of course not enough! The standard required for your formula is that the potion must be heated and cooled three times, and the time will take at least three hours. Unless I can turn back the magic, even God can't do it. However, I used other methods, only heated and cooled twice, and the effectiveness will be reduced by half. But I gave 100 standard doses, which is one-third more than the amount you asked for. When using it, just increase the dose to ensure the standard drug properties - you only gave me two hours, which is the only solution."

Chen Daolin answered slowly, then he looked at the color of the beaker potion in his hand and smiled softly: "Well, the color is just right, it's done!"

He put down the beaker, quickly took out a row of small bottles and placed them on the table, and then poured the potions in the beaker into the bottles. The whole process was extremely skillful, and even a drop of potions was not spilled out.

"Done, finish the work!"

Chen Daolin clapped his hands and turned around to look at Carmen.

Carmen's expression was very wonderful. The expression on the woman's face changed several times in an instant, with surprise, surprise, doubt, and finally a deep and complex smile.

"Mr. Darling, my list is a total of twenty-one recipes, you've only finished it...well, there are only sixteen recipes. What about the rest?"

Chen Daolin spread his hands: "I'm sorry, my ability is limited to this. I can only do this in two hours. So..."

He quickly walked aside, washed his hands, wiped his robe, and then turned to look straight at Carmen: "So, if you are not satisfied with my job, please cancel my teaching assistant job now. Actually, I am quite interested in the job of being an administrator in the library."

Don't even think about it!!

Carmen almost called out this sentence in his heart!

Yes, it is certain that Carmen is just making things difficult for Chen Daolin!

She herself knew very well that the work on the list would never be possible to complete within two hours. Even if it was Carmen herself, with a magic potion master like her, it would never be possible to complete so many potions in two hours. Even if she was familiar with the properties of the medicine, even if she could find many shortcuts, it would be impossible to complete!

This list task is a test that Carmen has always used to test his newly recruited assistants.

She had tried it herself, even if she did it herself, she could do it at most half in two hours!

And this young guy actually completed sixteen copies! This is more than two-thirds!
