"Ding Dong"

Not far from Salo Academy, in front of a house that was not luxurious but very exquisite, Filio rang the doorbell.

"Dong dong dong"

"Come on, come on! Is it Filio?"

Accompanied by the sound of feet stepping on the wooden floor, the brisk female voice comes closer and closer, and you can hear a bit of joy.

"Squeak"

The thick door opened, revealing the owner of the voice, a tall and plump blonde beauty who looked to be in her twenties or thirties.

A light pink short dress paired with black pantyhose and foot socks is both a bit playful and a bit mature. The two contradictory styles are intertwined. It is true that only the person in front of you can control it without making people feel abrupt and conflicting.

"Good morning, Teacher Milia, excuse me! I will stay here for lunch!"

Philio smiled and greeted his homeroom teacher.

"Come in, Filio, the room is a bit messy and I didn't clean it up on purpose. It's not like you're back here, you're all on your own. You go find something to drink in the refrigerator, and get me a can too. I'll put the machine back in order~

What do you want to eat for lunch?"

After opening the door, Milia hurried back and said as she ran, obviously not treating Philio as an outsider at all.

In the end, because I had already run far away, even the sound was not clear.

Black foot socks, smooth pink soles and toes collided with the neat wooden floor, making a sound that was neither dull nor crisp.

In the living room, a chubby wind ball slowly floated out, four streamers swinging at the same time, and two small red eyes full of smiles.

"Good morning, Sui Fengqiu, the little dream demon has missed you a little. Let me see if Teacher Milia is watching a romantic comedy again."

After closing the door gently, Filio already knew about his teacher's daredevil nature. He went to the refrigerator to get some drinks, smiled and patted Sui Fengqiu's big round head, and then went to the living room.

.

Sure enough, what was on TV was a popular love comedy, starring two young people whom Philio didn't even know.

"Although it doesn't look like that at all, Teacher Milia is in her thirties after all. She has never been in love, and she still loves to watch romantic comedies? This is a bit... a trendy thing?

”

Gently holding his chin, Filio was halfway through his complaint, leaving some room for Suifeng Qiu to play.

"Laiduo! Laiduo~"

Like magic with the wind ball, he took out a photo of a similarly tall and plump red-haired girl with glasses from the corner of his drawer, completing the final blow.

"马奇ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Looking at Filio and Sui Fengqiu, who teased each other every time they met, the little dream demon made a very unkind laugh.

"You two guys! You are only in your thirties! I am just thirty years old!"

The room was filled with joyful air, and Milia, who had just adjusted the equipment, appeared with murderous intent.

What tricks will her partner and her student come up with when they get together? After having led Filio for several years, how can she not be clear about it?

When she heard the little dream demon's laughter from afar, she felt her fists become stiff.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Ba Chi"

------------------

On the sofa, Filio and Sui Fengqiu sat side by side, each with a small bump on their head.

Milia took a few sips of the drink Filio took out, suppressed the anger in her chest, and began to output:

"Can't you two learn better? Tell me about you, little Philio. You were such a lovely child in the past two years. Why did you end up like this?"

"Marge!"

At first, Milia scolded Filio and Sui Fengqiu, who stood at attention after being beaten, and the little dream demon also followed suit.

"Even the little dream demon almost became a bad boy following you two!"

"Marge?"

Then, the topic started to go sideways, and the little dream demon silently floated up from her head and flew into the air.

"Is it appropriate to joke about comparing one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance with me? Hey, but does the King of Kona really hate marrying?"

"Machi? Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Finally, seeing Milia go back to her old self and start gossiping, the little dream demon immediately started to ridicule mercilessly, and the atmosphere of joy was overflowing.

Seeing that Milia's curiosity was aroused, Filio cleared his throat and said: "Teacher, 'The Hateful Marriage Ice Witch of the Four Islands' and 'The Strongest Flying King of Kanto' are both famous.

, I just don’t know if the billiards boy from the Johto area who created this meme, who is unwilling to reveal his origin and identity, is okay now. Indeed, there has been no update from him for a while.”

"Lai Duo!"

Sui Fengqiu, who was holding a tablet in his hand, immediately responded and found the blogger who created these two memes named "The billiards genius who loves Miss Walnut the most".

"It's true, this little brother looks quite brave! Hey, forget it, can you not talk about my sadness? I want to say, I am still very young, don't look down on others! And the little one

Philio, you have been single since childhood, why are you qualified to talk about me?!"

First, she looked at the homepage of the blog with great interest, and then realized that she had also been hinted at. Milia helplessly covered her face with her hands.

Philio said seriously: "Then let's get down to business, teacher. It's the same as last time, the same two energy cubes."

------------------

The teacher-student relationship between Filio and Milia is relatively special, and they also have a sense of like-minded friends besides teachers and students.

At school, Filion was the most proud student of Miria's since she started teaching, and she and she both had ghost-type Pokémon, so they were very close to each other. Milia was also very kind to Filion, and often asked him to come to her house to play games.

Xiaozao, learn some knowledge about cultivators.

After getting along for a long time, the relationship between the two is not formal at all, but full of mutual banter and teasing.

In private, Filio is as open-minded in front of Milia as he is in front of other friends. He often makes sharp and to the point complaints. Recently, under the influence of Sui Feng Qiu, the scope of his complaints has been increased.

However, once they talk about business, the two of them can quickly gather their minds and refocus their attention.

As a direct disciple of Muriel, the principal of Salo Academy, Milia has gained the true inheritance of the only high-level cultivator in Salo, and can be said to be a leader among intermediate cultivators.

She specializes in the preparation of energy cubes and elf food. She has many high-quality intermediate formulas that are selling well in the surrounding areas of Salo. She is a real "rich woman" and an undoubted cultivation expert.

At the same time, she became an intermediate cultivator at the age of only twenty-two. After years of accumulation, she is also considered to be one of the strong candidates to pass the senior cultivator examination in the near future.

Philio's skills as a nurturer were originally due to Milia's training. Otherwise, it would be difficult to quickly progress to where he is today just by reading books and practicing on his own.

Since about a year ago, Philio has reached the level of an intermediate cultivator, and has gradually changed from a one-sided recipient to a communicator. The two of them have cooperated in seminars regularly or irregularly, covering many aspects, especially

It is the design and development of advanced formulas necessary for advanced cultivators.

A common idea for such research is to start with reverse derivation of existing formulas.

Milia's theoretical literacy, coupled with Philio's analytical and operational abilities, when combined, the effect is that one plus one is greater than two.

------------------

"Teacher, I tasted a little bit in Abe's breeding house. I analyzed that the taste is better than last time, and the overall level should also reach a very good state for this formula. So, today should be a good day.

Good opportunity."

Taking out the box containing the ghost energy cube, Filio gently opened the lid, and the familiar aroma spread quickly.

"It's indeed very good. It's integrated and unobtrusive." Milia sniffed a little and quickly got into work mode. "Although we have said it many times, we still have to repeat it. Such a block is bound to

They are all patented. We can only learn and imitate them, but we cannot sell them unless we design an improved formula."

"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I know. Although the money is a lot, it won't blind me."

Philio nodded seriously. In this regard, he is also very principled. He is not like an outstanding young educator who has not been exposed to too much wealth. He has not been dazzled by the potential huge profits and is still very rational.

And sobriety makes Milia feel more at ease.

After calming down, the two took out a professional knife, cut off a very small piece from the corner of an energy cube, stuffed it into their mouths, and savored it carefully.

At the same time, Philio's own superpower also tried to penetrate into the cube like the previous times, using his perception and analysis abilities to obtain information through his own knowledge and memory.

Two people, three dimensions and approaches, jointly analyze the composition and proportions of this kind of block, as well as possible techniques used in the production process.

The almost non-stop high-intensity study for many days has steadily improved Philio's knowledge reserve, and the level of his superpowers based on cognitive ability is also increasing day by day.

At this moment, his eyes have become slightly clearer from the chaos about a year ago. All the fragmented information can gradually be grasped. Some are conclusions drawn from previous experiments, and some are new.

Feeling.

Gradually, the pieces began to come together, and a clue came into view.

Hidden under the complex taste and mixed composition, a name slowly emerged in his mind: Indigo Berry.

"Teacher, my opinion this time is different from last time. I think the auxiliary ingredient may be indigo berry, and the proportion is not low."

Without hesitation, Philio chose to trust his own judgment and decisively put forward this conjecture.

Milia was a little unsure: "But, the taste of this cube is complex. Doesn't this fit the nature of the indigo berry?"

Regarding the teacher's concerns, Filio had also thought about it before, and now it seems that the conclusion is ready. He nodded and began his analysis: "First of all, there is no doubt that in this energy cube, the Bergamot fruit is

The main ingredient, and then we will find that its sour taste has been neutralized and turned into a complex fragrance hidden under the soft taste of cotton. So, I think it uses indigo berries and uses sweet taste.

To neutralize the sourness, and then, as a very minor auxiliary ingredient, this formula adds apple wild fruit and orange orange fruit, two very common general-purpose tree fruits, to achieve a balance of taste, texture and energy, because both

It's unimportant and common, so it's always difficult for us to find it. Moreover, I think this is the limitation of this formula."

"Pingye fruit, orange orange fruit..." Milia whispered and thought, the beauty mark on her mouth trembled slightly, "From the perspective of taste, adding trace amounts of apple wild fruit and orange fruit..."

You can indeed create this style with orange fruit, and then use indigo berries to neutralize the taste... Well, you can give it a try. Moreover, the method he uses should be very traditional, and it is more reflected in the ratio.

Creativity."

Thinking of this, Milia stood up decisively: "Come on, Philio, let's go to the cold storage. No matter whether it works or not, we will get it and use it first. We saved a lot on the tree fruits we bought last time. I froze them and kept them.

It’s no problem to use it for experiments.”

"Teacher, let me go. It's a little troublesome for you to go out. Little Dream Demon, Suifengqiu, let's go."

Pressing Milia's shoulder, Filio took the lead, walked out quickly, put on his coat and went straight to the small cold storage in the backyard.

------------------

The trolley came back full of materials, which were defrosted in batches in a special instrument, and the experiment officially began.

After judging the basic composition, although the proportion is still unclear, the experiment can also be carried out tentatively. First, make the modulation according to the common 60%, 20%, 10%, and 10% of energy cubes.

As expected, the energy cubes configured for the first time were, purely in terms of quality, at best the most ordinary primary energy cubes. Compared with the quality sold in the Friendship Store, the quality was not much different. However, what struck the two of them was that

What's bright is that although there are still many problems, its taste is indeed similar to this high-level energy.

Hidden under the strong sour taste is the complex aroma. Although it is weak, it was accurately captured by the two people with keen senses.

"This is it."

"Guessed it right."

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

------------------

Once you have the composition, all that’s left is the proportion.

The strong sour taste needs to be neutralized by sweetness. Under this composition, this is the only answer. Therefore, the two began to increase the proportion of indigo berries and moderately reduce other tree fruit ingredients.

Second round of testing.

The third round of experiments.

The fourth round...

......

......

The two of them and Dream Demon followed the wind ball, took a small taste and then spit it out, then rinsed their mouths and analyzed the differences in each round.

On the small whiteboard next to the machine, one ratio after another is marked with a red cross.

The originally planned lunch dinner became a chore after both of them lost interest.

After a whole day of testing, a large number of high-quality tree fruits turned into piles of boxes containing abandoned case energy cubes.

Among them, the better ones are at the level of ordinary mid-level energy cubes, but the cost is much higher than the mid-level energy cubes; the worst ones are even unable to be sold in friendship stores.

"Well... First of all, the main ingredient of bergamot cannot be reduced, but the indigo berry has been increased to 30%. It is unreasonable to reduce it any further..."

Milia looked tired. Making energy cubes was never an easy task, but required a high degree of concentration. Although Filio was the main force today, Milia was also exhausted in material preparation and scheme design.

Work hard.

"Forget it! I can't do it today!" Milia stood up straight, put her hands on her hips, and massaged her already very sore psoas muscles. "I'll take these scrapped cubes and dispose of them at a low price. Forget it."

Let's make a public account for the next time we buy fruit. After settling the account, we will share it equally. It doesn't cost much anyway... Are you still free tomorrow? Come again?"

Philio looked at the few raw materials left and felt his condition. He wanted to try again.

"Why, do you still have some energy left?"

Milia saw what her beloved disciple was thinking and asked.

Filio nodded slightly: "Yes, teacher, I have a new idea. In a sense, maybe we made a mistake: why should we regard the ingredients of apple wild fruit and orange fruit as two

'What about the proportions of ingredients? If we treat them as one, maybe it will be different."

"You mean...three kinds?"
