23. Two worlds

[Write down the refining steps of a basic potion or basic alchemy item that you know:]

[Fill the crucible two-thirds full with water and pound the wormwood...]

After completing the Level 1 Alchemy Trial, Lu Li left the classroom.

There is only one day left before the New Year, and the New Year decorations in the canopy have been completed: fluorescent alchemy slates are like neon lights, and green-painted branches decorate the corridor inside the giant tree.

False and beautiful.

The auditorium with the same decoration seemed to be more lively than usual. The students were in high spirits either because of the decorations or because of the gifts.

During the dinner, the professor announced that the New Year's dinner would start in the auditorium hall tomorrow night.

The excited faces indicate that many students will have insomnia tonight.

The night is silent and dreamless.

The next morning, Lu Li woke up.

Businessman Anthony stood quietly by the bed.

"What's wrong."

The merchant should just appear, otherwise he will wake up Lu Li without emotion.

"Your gift." Businessman Anthony opened his backpack and took out the crudely wrapped gift.

New Year's gift from hell.

Ophelia's gift is a blurry, unrecognizable outline naturally formed by cooling lava. But if it is regarded as a statue of Ophelia, it can be regarded as lifelike.

【With her, you will always feel my love】

The paper accompanying the statue of Ophelia reads.

Pusius's gift was a clumsy, scrawled diary about what he saw in hell. For example, those nasty lemures were stupid and ferocious, and always regarded him as food. Another example was when he saw Ophelia and wanted to draw a picture.

The oil painting was given to Lu Li, but Hades always said it was a waste and that her paintings were really not good-looking.

After flipping through a few pages, Lu Li closed Pusius's diary and looked at the next gift.

Even Hades brought Lu Li a New Year's gift: a rock from hell.

There is no carving and no features. Even if your eyes are out of focus and you look at this rock that still has the sulfur smell of hell, it is difficult to feel any abstract patterns and symbols.

Considering Hadesgrande's characteristics, this should be a stone he picked up at random.

There is a note stuck to the rock: Returning gifts is an indispensable part of the New Year!

Finally, there was a separate note without a signature: [The gift is good news: Father is patrolling the territory, and you have enough time to master the cursed title]

Putting the other gifts except the note from the Devil's Daughter on the desk, burning the note, Lu Li began to prepare a return gift.

Ophelia's gift in return was a dark pink hollow gold evening gown and a set of durable work clothes; Psius's gift in return was several books of fairy tales and biographies; Hades's gift in return was a set of costumes.

100 1 shilling coins in a gift box; even the Devil's Daughter is no exception

"Can the devil's daughter find you?"

"With eyes."

So the gift given to the Devil's daughter was a black tuxedo.

These will be purchased by the merchant Anthony and sent to hell.

After doing this, Lu Li left the dormitory and headed to the auditorium along the corridor with a strong New Year atmosphere.

Obviously, Lu Li will receive more than these gifts today.

During the following breakfast time, students came to Lu Li almost every moment to give him gifts. Even the professors smiled and put their gifts on the top of the gift pile.

Soon there was no room for these colorful gift boxes on the table, and they piled up at the feet.

Gorou felt envious, even Fudote received several exquisite gift boxes.

Fudot, who quietly stuffed something into the pile of gifts at Lu Li's feet, couldn't bear the pitiful look like a puppy, and hummed, "Where are your gifts?"

"I only have two friends, you and Fudote." Gorou said dejectedly.

"I'm not your friend!"

"But the language class professor said that we are friends if we are together often... you are the people I have known for the longest time!"

Fodort looked away and whispered: "Wait...your gift is not ready yet."

Lu Li left the auditorium a little later than usual because he called the merchant Anthony to deliver the gifts to his dormitory, and then asked him to deliver the next gifts directly back to his dormitory.

After the morning mystery class, divination class, and alchemy class, Lu Li returned to his dormitory to deal with his New Year's gifts.

Books, lots of books, almost every gift package contains books.

The students seemed to think that Lu Li, who brought books with him every day, liked reading.

Although this is true, many of the books given as gifts are temporarily unavailable.

Stack up the fairy tales and novels and let the businessman Anthony give them to Pusius. The remaining books that are useful or unused are filled into the empty bookshelf.

While opening the gifts, Lu Li was also recording the gifts in return.

For those students whom he didn't know, Lu Li's gift in return was also books, while the gifts from some students whom Lu Li knew were more targeted.

Take Jerry the Floating, for example. He is haunted by nightmares every night because of his talent. Lu Li’s gift was the first bottle of Dream Potion as a souvenir.

And dog meat. Although he was so poor that he only gave Lu Li a blessing at breakfast, but Lu Li's return gift was a box of canned food.

Almost finished opening endless gifts, mostly books, with a few exceptions.

Professor Chris did the same thing as him: he sent a sweet dream potion with a 98% passing rate. He left a message that even a giant dragon would have sweet dreams after taking it.

The old professor's gift was two wooden boxes. One wooden box was filled with candies, and the other was empty. He hoped that Lu Li would have the opportunity to bring sunshine from the Land of Light.

The nameless lady is a piece of divination: she predicts that Lu Li may be lucky or misfortune in the future.

Matthäus's gift was a copy of an oil painting, and the artist was Lu Li himself.

"What is the food gap in Weiner Freeze Port?" Lu Li asked.

The merchant Anthony's answer was that hundreds of thousands of people were starving and could only guarantee one meal for two days.

Lu Li could afford to support the entire Weiner Freeze Port.

But collecting and transporting food for hundreds of thousands of people is beyond the capabilities of three businessmen.

Lu Li asked merchants to purchase a large amount of canned or strange meat from the Earth-dwelling Chamber of Commerce and send it to the Weina Freeze Port without restrictions.

This is Lu Li's New Year's gift to the citizens.

When I opened the last gift, it was still a book. There was no signature inside, but it was stamped with the emblem of the Lins family.

"The Controller of Weird Titles", this is exactly what Lu Li needs.

Lu Li's return gift was also a book called "Tracking and Anti-Tracking Techniques".

Lu Li hoped that Fudot could make better use of the black insects, but Fudot didn't think so.

"snort!"

During lunch time, Fodort, who felt that Lu Li was mocking her, sat far away.

Her place was quickly occupied by a young man who looked slightly dull due to his gapped teeth. He took out his notes, but they were not gifts: he wanted Lu Li to sign his diary.

Throughout the rest of the afternoon, the students were a little absent-minded and with a certain expectation.

Waiting for night to arrive, the New Year's dinner begins.
