Royal Alchemist

The Royal Academy of Sciences has a very academic atmosphere. The tone is mainly silver and white. There are exquisite amplification patterns engraved on the walls. The energy concentration in the entire building complex is higher than that of the outside world. People who come and go wear white coats and talk to each other. They were all soft-spoken, and after Qiu Ye swayed in triumphantly, she also lightened her steps and walked lightly.

I had agreed with Zhu Xifeng in advance that I would meet him first when I came to the Academy of Sciences. Qiuye came to his office, reported his name to his assistant, and waited by the side.

Just as I sat down, the office door swung open, and a bouquet of flowers flew out, and then I heard Zhu Xifeng's impatient roar: "How many times have I told you, don't put Barnett's flowers in my office! I like how the office is smelly, what it looks like! Does he consider me a woman? I will throw it away when I receive it in the future!"

It was a bouquet of roses and lilies. The freshly cut flowers looked so delicate. The assistant quickly picked up the flowers and threw them into the trash can with a look of "what a pity".

After asking Zhu Xifeng for instructions, the assistant signaled Qiuye to go in. Looking at the bunch of roses and lilies in the trash can, Qiuye's heart trembled a little, for fear that he would throw it out as soon as he entered.

"Dean Zhu." Qiu Ye greeted respectfully.

Zhu Xifeng was panting violently. The fire hadn't subsided yet. He glanced at Qiuye, unbuttoned a shirt, and snorted.

Qiu Ye handed over the small gift box: "Dean, I just went on a trip and this is a small gift I brought back for you."

"There are still gifts? Do you want to bribe me?" Zhu Xifeng said unforgivingly, took the small gift box the size of a palm and opened it, "What is it? Where did you go to play?"

"I went to Lan Xuexing and brought some small handicrafts."

"It's so far away, are there any places of interest there?" Zhu Xifeng said casually, and took out a small handicraft from the box.

This is a lion cub carved out of Lan Xuexing's unique ice stone in extremely cold regions. It looks like it was carved out of ice cubes. The lion is vivid and lifelike.The ice stone is not a valuable stone, so this little gift is not worth much, it is purely for fun.

"Well, yes, very beautiful, I happen to be a Leo." Zhu Xifeng turned his anger into joy, and happily put the little ice lion on the desk, "Then I will accept it, thank you, it's okay to go out and play." Think of me."

Qiu Ye dared not tell Zhu Xifeng that this little lion was originally going to be given to Boss Jin.

Before he left for Lan Xuexing, he asked Boss Jin what kind of gift he liked. Boss Jin thought about it and said he liked lions, so Qiu Ye bought the little lion handicraft.I just showed it in the newsletter after I came back, but Boss Jin said with a sullen face, "Xiao Qiuye, your Boss Jin likes golden lions."

So Qiu Ye immediately bought a golden lion cub from the silver building in the capital star and sent it back, and the ice stone cub was sent to Zhu Xifeng.

"Okay, since you're here, let's get down to business." Zhu Xifeng turned the office chair, "Do you want to lead a research project by yourself, or do you want to follow others?"

Qiu Ye handed over the electronic notebook: "Dean, I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done, can you read it for me?"

Zhu Xifeng glanced at it with interest, his expression gradually became serious, and he read it page by page. Finally, he closed his notebook and looked at Qiuye with his head propped up: "This is your own idea? Why do you want to do research in this area? "

"Isn't it suitable?" Qiuye asked anxiously, "Because I have a friend with very low mental strength."

Zhu Xifeng nodded clearly: "It's not inappropriate, but this is a big topic. The Academy of Sciences has been researching it intermittently, but there has been no one to preside over it, so it can't be carried out normally. Someone wanted to study in depth before, but then he..." Zhu Xifeng paused After a while, he said, "If you are interested, of course I support it. I can allocate a laboratory for you. But you have just come to the Academy of Sciences and are not familiar with anything. I suggest that you start with someone else's project. "

"Okay, there's no problem." That's what Akiba originally planned.

Zhu Xifeng began to look through the materials: "Now the Academy of Sciences has several key projects, you choose the one you are interested in."

After arranging Qiu Ye's whereabouts, Zhu Xifeng was left alone in the office. His eyes fell on the snow-white little lion, and he reached out to stroke its head.

An unhurried voice sounded in my ear: "Oh, you are like a proud and impatient little lion, when will you grow up?"

"I've grown up!" the boy snapped his teeth and claws back.

Then always hear that person's laughter.

Already grown up!Are getting old!

Zhu Xifeng poked the little lion angrily, making it jump.

After tossing and tossing for a while, he nestled into the sofa chair as if he was exhausted. Zhu Xifeng remembered the topic that Qiu Ye handed over: genetic modification and genetic lock.

A subject that had been proposed but was shelved indefinitely because no one could take the lead, if it wasn't for my insistence on keeping it, I'm afraid it would have been sealed long ago.

Can this young man continue to do it?

-

After staying at the Academy of Sciences for a day to get familiar with the environment, Qiu Ye made an appointment with the project leader to come every week, and then returned to school.

It was still early at this point, Qiu Ye went directly to the training ground to find Feng Qi.

Almost every training field is occupied by people, besides the students who are actually training, there are also many people who always love to watch.

Qiu Ye passed by one field after another, watching as she walked, and stopped to take a closer look when she saw someone who thought her operation was good, but after seeing too much, she felt that it would be better to go to Feng Qi earlier.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure. The man was wearing a combat uniform with the neckline open, and was holding a helmet in his hand. He was leaning comfortably on the guardrail. His wine-red hair was dazzling in the sun. It was You Zixun.

Qiu Ye took a few steps forward and was about to greet him when she saw a person standing on the other side of him.

It was a girl, a white uniform outlined her slender curves, long golden-brown hair hung over her shoulders, a pair of long white legs under a knee-length skirt, her skin was plump and fair, and when the sun shone, she seemed to be shrouded in holy light middle.

Qiu Ye recognized this girl, she was very famous in school.She is a third-year healing student of the Holy Legion. Her name is Freya. She was born in the famous Chris family of the Light Department. There are few students in the Light Department, and there are few girls in the military school. Freya is the only healing girl. , with a beautiful appearance and a good family background, she is regarded as the goddess of healing by the students, and she probably almost catches up with Saffirol's status in the school.

Freya was leaning on the other side of the railing, tilting her head and chatting with Yuzixun. Youzixun was talking slowly, with a relaxed expression, while Freya smiled and blinked sometimes, and seemed to be listening very attentively.

People and people are very subtle before, sometimes the parties don't express anything special, and others can feel the atmosphere of intimacy or hostility between them. At this time, Qiuye can sense the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, which is so thick that it makes people feel uncomfortable. Can't get close.

They chatted so happily, the man was handsome and the woman was delicate and beautiful, they were like a pair of enviable golden boy and jade girl.

Qiu Ye gave up the idea of ​​saying hello in the past, and walked away from them.

You Zixun seemed to have rested enough, put on the helmet again and walked to the field, Freya still kept her original posture lying on the railing to watch You Zixun go away, her gaze clearly showed admiration.

Qiu Ye didn't want to look any more, and walked quickly to Feng Qi's training ground.

Feng Qi and Feng Lin had just practiced for a while, and they were sitting beside them to rest. Feng Lin was talking to Feng Qi about the training in the Knights.

"The members of the Knights are not very good, I will definitely be better than them after a few more years of training!" Feng Lin was very confident in himself.

Feng Qi smiled and nodded: "You are my younger brother, you must be stronger than them all."

Feng Lin patted his chest and said: "Must!"

Seeing Qiu Ye approaching, Feng Lin jumped up and shouted enthusiastically: "Little Ye Zi!"

Before he stepped out, Feng Qi grabbed the collar and dragged him aside, and said word by word: "It's called the full name."

Qiu Ye waved at the two of them and stopped beside them.

"How does it feel to go to the Academy of Sciences today?" Feng Qi asked.

"It's okay. I met with Dean Zhu and chose a project. I'll go there two or three times a week." Qiu Ye was a little unmotivated.

Feng Qi noticed his lackluster expression, "What happened?"

Akiba opened her mouth, and wanted to tell him about You Zixun, but when she thought about the emotional matters, he couldn't let others meddle casually, and this matter has no beginning and end, so it's not good to talk nonsense, You Zixun There are always many admirers around him, and he also enjoys being surrounded by people very much, maybe he is thinking too much: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Feng Lin started chirping again: "Hey, let me tell you, I heard a lot of gossip in the Knights, and that Captain Barnett was really persistent, and he brought a bouquet of flowers to the Academy of Sciences early in the morning. , It's a pity that I haven't seen the dean. Hey, I think Captain Barnett is not bad. Today he took us to fly a few times and guided our operations. Why is the dean so ruthless? ? I heard that you have been chasing me for many years. If there is someone who pursues me for many years, I will definitely follow..."

Akiba listened absent-mindedly, her eyes still glanced towards Freya, she was still there, her hand flicked her silky long hair casually, elegant and beautiful.You Zixun just happened to perform a complicated rolling motion in the air, and she clapped her hands gracefully a few times.

In the traditional concept of the great aristocrats, marriage is the union of a man and a woman. If the same sex is married and uses the gene capsule to cultivate the next generation, it will be laughed at, and it is also not allowed by many big families.And no matter which world or era it is in, the word "door to door" will never be out of date.

"What are you looking at?" Feng Lin leaned over and looked around, "Ahhh, you are looking at the goddess! Ahhhh, I really like her too! Look how beautiful her hair is, she only needs to smile at me Laugh and I could faint."

Feng Qi's cold voice immediately came out: "Who are you looking at? Don't look around!"

"No." Qiuye said hastily.

"Speaking of which, she seems to be pursuing You Zixun, alas." Feng Lin sighed inexplicably, and she didn't know what she was regretting.

"What did you say?" Qiu Ye asked in surprise, "Oh no, I mean how did you know she was chasing You Zixun?"

"She comes to see You Zixun's training every day, why not chasing him? Oh, I really hope that someone will come to see my training every day!" Feng Lin became sad.

"Then she..."

"What are you asking her all the time today!" Feng Qi pinched his shoulder dissatisfied and turned half a circle to face himself.

"But it doesn't matter!" Feng Lin swept away the worry on his face, "Anyway, there will be a masquerade ball soon, you who go in and out in pairs hug each other, I will definitely find my beloved other half at the ball!"

"Masquerade?" Qiuye repeated.Since entering the school, many people have been looking forward to the masquerade ball in the second semester every year. Now that Feng Lin mentioned it, Qiu Ye suddenly remembered that the ball was just around the corner.

Because the "Alchemist Code" stipulates that alchemists must combine with alchemists and encourage them to get together as soon as possible, the Alchemists Association will hold various activities to provide opportunities for young alchemists and prospective alchemists in the empire to get acquainted.

This masquerade ball is one of them, which is equivalent to the fellowship of all the higher colleges in the empire.There are many high-spirited babies born every year, but the Royal Military Academy only enrolls a thousand students, and the rest of the quasi-alchemists are scattered in various first-class institutions, and the schools will offer them special alchemy courses that are different from ordinary people.

Except for the students of the Royal Military Academy where all students can participate, other schools can only participate if they are qualified to offer alchemy courses, and there is a limit on the number of people.

Of course, there are many similar social activities in the empire, such as exchange dinners between nobles, etc., but masquerade balls are usually the first time for young alchemists to socialize, so everyone is looking forward to it, especially people like Fenglin. single dog.

"So, I can wear my mask again?" Qiu Ye was overjoyed at first, but then looked at Feng Qi, "Can I wear it?"

"Okay." It seems that since the survival game, Feng Qi no longer dislikes the silver mask, and has become calm about the mask that Qiu Ye likes, "However, I think we can buy a pair of couple masks, what do you think? "

"Okay!" Qiu Ye raised her hands in agreement, "But the purpose of buying the couple mask is not to fear that you will recognize the wrong person?"

"I've seen your silver mask many times, I'm afraid that if you identify the wrong person, I will be ashamed." Feng Qi squinted.

"Impossible!" Qiu Ye retorted, "Out of thousands of people, I can recognize you at a glance!"

Feng Lin turned her face away melancholy: "Bah! Show affection, inhumanity!"

After having dinner with Feng Qi, and spending some time together, Qiu Ye returned to the dormitory.

Su Tongyang poked his head out from the small kitchen: "Are you back?"

Qiu Ye scratched her head in embarrassment: "Have you been busy all day?"

"No, just after a while, you came back just in time." After Su Tongyang finished speaking, he retreated into the kitchen.

At the beginning of the new semester, the most important thing for Su Tongyang is to set up their small pastry workshop. He spent almost all his savings for the meditation class. If there is no more income, he will have nothing to do.

Seeing Su Tongyang's busy appearance, and remembering the wandering Xun and Freya he saw on the training ground during the day, Qiuye felt as if a thorn was stuck in his heart.

Qiu Ye rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen: "Let me help you make it together."

"No, no need." Su Tongyang said hurriedly, "You can help me with the blessing effect in a while, and I can do the rest."

Su Tongyang is sorry to bother Qiuye, if Qiuye only wanted to make money, he could earn back just by selling a few bottles of medicine, but now opening a pastry shop is just to accommodate Su Tongyang and make money with him, which is equivalent to looking far away.Under such circumstances, how could Su Tongyang let Qiuye do physical work?

Seeing the fine sweat on Su Tongyang's forehead, Qiuye felt even more uncomfortable, but he really couldn't help with the cake cooking, so he could only stand aside and watch.

"Go to the living room and watch some TV. I'll call you when I'm done," Su Tongyang said.

Qiu Ye shook her head: "I will accompany you."

Su Tongyang smiled, his almond eyes curved into semicircles.

"How about other preparations?" Qiu Ye asked.

"All the [-] orders for the first day have been booked." Su Tongyang smiled happily, "You Zixun helped me get the store ready, and I can just deliver the pastries tomorrow morning, and there will be automatic vending robots to deliver the goods. But because tomorrow It's day one, so I wanted to go and stare myself."

Qiu Ye grabbed a handful of dried fruit from the cooking table, picked one and threw it into her mouth, chewing: "You Zixun put a lot of effort into it, right?"

"Yes." Hearing You Zixun's name, Su Tongyang smiled again, "It's very difficult to apply for the store in the school, and I can't manage it by myself. He came forward to help me solve it."

Qiu Ye gave a noncommittal oh, thinking over and over whether she should tell him about Freya.

But how to open this mouth?Is it appropriate to rashly get involved in such a mess that can't be cleaned up?

After thinking for a long time, Qiuye became even more irritable.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Su Tongyang thought that he was bored with company, and dragged him to the sofa in the living room: "Sit down and adjust your posture, it will be hard for you later, or if you really can't take the time to prepare the ingredients first. "

Qiu Ye's words were on her lips, she couldn't say it, she looked at Su Tongyang's back, and sighed angrily.

-

Early the next morning, Su Tongyang sent the [-] baked pastries to the pastry shop. Su Tongyang named their pastry shop "Sunshine", which was very ordinary but with good wishes. He said he hoped that everyone Anyone who has eaten his pastries can have a sunny mood.

A total of [-] macarons, each individually packaged in an exquisite box, with a beautiful "sunshine" logo engraved on the surface of the box, and a golden sun-like light emanating from the surface, which looks very elegant.In Qiuye's words, our pastries are the best, and our style is the highest.

According to the attributes ordered by customers, the macarons are made into colorful colors, either pink or bright, and the pavement is very eye-catching.

As soon as the store opened, it quickly attracted passing students, and the small pastry shop was immediately surrounded by water, all of them stared at the beautiful pastries in the container.

"Hey, isn't this the welfare pastry given by the people who took their Shining Legion exam at the end of last semester?"

"Macarons are too sweet, is there something less sweet?"

"Is this really bought to eat?"

The people who came to pick up the cakes couldn’t squeeze in, so Qiuye could only step on the chair and yell loudly: "The people in front of you make room, please make way for our customers, thank you! Our cakes are not for sale ! Must be ordered! Fifty copies a day!"

The people below started talking.

"Isn't it on sale now? Fifty servings are not enough for me to eat alone!"

"Are you a pig? Where can I make an appointment?"

Qiuye pointed at Su Tongyang next to him and continued to shout: "Now start placing the order for tomorrow! Tomorrow's variety is crystal cake! Please tell him if you have any requirements!"

Su Tongyang was instantly submerged in the sea of ​​people.

"Please line up so that you don't get crowded! Cough, cough, cough!" Qiu Ye's voice became hoarse, "Please don't step on my feet! Please don't stick your head into the container, thank you! Don't drool, thank you!"

The two of them were almost using their lives to sell pastries. After finally handing over the pre-ordered pastries to the customers, and then finishing the order for tomorrow, both of them were almost exhausted.

Qiu Ye slumped at the counter: "Oh, let's let the robot deliver the goods tomorrow, this is simply not a job for humans."

Su Tongyang also slumped on the chair: "Maybe everyone is fresh on the first day, and it should be better in the future."

"No, no, it's better to be this hot forever. Close the door, it's almost time, we should go to class."

Another person walked into their shop.

Qiu Ye didn't even lift her eyelids: "Darling, we are closed today, please come and kiss early tomorrow."

The visitor's laughter was gentle and tactful: "Didn't you say you want to make a reservation, can I make a reservation for tomorrow?"

Qiu Ye raised her head abruptly, and standing in front of them was Freya, with a quiet smile and a small part of her wavy golden-brown hair brushed up, like a dignified princess, she was looking at the pastry advertisement in the shop, Pretty things always attract girls the most.

"Tomorrow's order is full. If you want to order the day after tomorrow, come back tomorrow." Even Qiuye himself didn't notice, his tone suddenly became stiff.

Freya was obviously taken aback, but then smiled softly: "Okay, then I..."

"Oh, senior sister, wait a minute!" Su Tongyang ran over.

Freya gracefully waved her hand: "Tongyang."

"Can I help you arrange the order for the day after tomorrow?" Su Tongyang took out his notebook.

"Didn't you say that the order for the day after tomorrow will start tomorrow?"

"It's like this, but it's okay, we have the final say. The day after tomorrow is wagashi, what kind do you like? There are references here, you can choose whatever you like, and you can say anything else if you like. What else do you want? Blessing effect?" Su Tongyang handed the wagashi album to her.

"Thank you then." Freya was not picky, and quickly selected a koi.

After the person left, Qiuye squinted at Su Tongyang: "Are you familiar with her? She still calls you so affectionately?"

While packing his things, Su Tongyang said, "There are only a few people in the school's healing department. They often attend classes together. Are you familiar with them? Besides, the senior has a good temper, is beautiful, and has a high level of treatment."

Qiuye sneered and looked at Su Tongyang.

"What are you doing?" Su Tongyang had goosebumps when he looked at him, "What are you doing?"

"You know her so well, don't you know that she is pursuing You Zixun?"

The smile on Su Tongyang's face froze instantly.
