After finishing the morning classes, Heshia and Mel went to the forest tree house for dinner at noon.
In the large tree hole restaurant, a row of birds are parked on the dome of the tall tree. Below is a trapezoidal staircase connecting the rooms on the inner wall of the tree.
At the bottom, there are dozens of large tables in the spacious restaurant, which can accommodate 500 people to dine together. After finishing their meals, students came to the table to enjoy.
"Today there are transparent osmanthus cakes and free apples." Mel said quietly and happily.
She was not short of money, but she was still very happy when faced with the T5 grade deep red apples given by the restaurant. Although this kind of apples did not have extraordinary effects, it had a sweet and crisp taste, no astringency, and was very delicious.
"Here you go~" Soon after sitting down, she happily handed a piece of amber-transparent pastry on the plate to Heshia.
T4 level crushed golden osmanthus cake is made from golden jade honey, autumn three-leaf osmanthus, morning flour and other extraordinary materials. It is a pastry with certain extraordinary effects, which can warm the body and restore a certain amount of energy.
How generous, Heshia thought to herself. Although she had enjoyed a lot of T4-level delicacies at Eds Academy, the Yuanting Academy was more frugal.
Firstly, it was because Eddes Academy provided many of them for free, and secondly, she had no worries about her debts, so she simply took some of the benefits provided by Eddes Academy.
But Yuanting is different here. You need to spend your own money to buy them. It's natural to feel distressed if you don't have enough financial resources, so generally you don't go out of your way to buy these.
"Thanks."
Knowing that if she refused, the dark purple-haired girl in front of her might cry, Heshia nodded, and Mel opposite him happily touched the cat in front of her.
Afterwards, the two of them ate lunch while talking about the recent courses.
"Overall, it doesn't feel difficult. I should be able to keep up with the progress and won't hold Hesia back." Mel said.
"It's okay, there's no need to force it." Heshia comforted her. In fact, she was not the kind of person who particularly valued her grades and alienated others.
"No, grandma said you have to be self-aware, and you can't do shameless things casually." Mel insisted in a rare way. It seems that she also has 'backbone'.
"The teacher said that we should go to him in the afternoon to get duck eggs and an incubator, let us hatch ducklings, and then raise ducklings in the next few months." Mel said about the teacher's teachings in the classroom.
This is probably the training of young birds mentioned in the academy mission. At first Heshia will be an extraordinary animal, but if you think about it carefully, they have just entered school, so it shouldn't be so difficult. The ducks they are currently being trained are probably just Ordinary animals.
An hour later, the two came to the birdhouse in the forest. There were many senior students here, as well as some school staff.
As the two walked in this tall building, they could see birds flying overhead from time to time.
"Look, that's a pure white bird with three feathers~"
Mel pointed to a bird flying in the air. It was all white and had three long tail feathers behind it. This was an extraordinary bird with light feather sequence 3. It was also a relatively expensive ornamental pet bird. If it was in good condition, it could be sold outside. Up to 100,000 federal coins.
Only a very small part of the income of Toido Academy comes from student tuition fees, and most of it comes from other businesses operated by the academy, such as the leasing of extraordinary animals, pet training, medical care, and the production of certain rare and extraordinary resources.
Many workers in these industries were former students of Yuanting Academy. The academy cultivates talents for itself, which not only solves the problem of student employment, but also greatly meets its own needs for talent manpower. Therefore, Yuanting Academy’s The finances have always been healthy, but not as good as top schools like Eds Academy.
"That is the dark-clawed owl, which likes to be active at night. Many cemeteries keep this kind of bird for care and to prevent ghosts from causing trouble."
"This is a red falcon. It has a sharp and fierce cry. It has sharp claws and hard feathers. It is also an extraordinary animal with fighting capabilities."
"The ones with big mouths are spotted gannets. They are generally lazy and very greedy. If they are not well trained, they will even bloat themselves to death." Mel seemed to be very familiar with these extraordinary animals and introduced them to Heshia one by one.
There are various extraordinary animals cultivated in the Yuanting Academy, but generally speaking, the birds are the best. It is said that hundreds of years ago, when the Yuanting Academy was at its peak, there was a Sequence 8 Tianlu Fengkite. This is also The reason why they got the name Feng Yuan Courtyard.
"Puppies are cute too, but they get bad when they grow up." Mel touched the little yellow dog that was rubbing against her legs and begging for food, then picked it up and touched its bulging belly.
"This guy is so full."
Hearing Mel's comments, Heshia couldn't help but want to laugh, and walked over to touch the little guy.
After playing for a while, the two put down the puppy and continued forward, arriving at a room with fewer people, where several students were already picking duck eggs.
"These are all improved Cole duck eggs. You each select three to hatch and cultivate a qualified pet Cole duck before the end of the year. Even if you get 80 points in this subject, if you are better, there will be extra points and rewards. ." The teacher told several people.
"This doesn't seem difficult. Is the Cole duck the kind of cute duck that is white and has a flat beak?"
"Yes, as a junior pet, it is still popular in the market. If you can train it well, the academy will also provide you with part of the bonus. This can be regarded as an early experience of the income of a breeder." The teacher So introduced.
"Hearing this made me eager to try." Several students were very happy.
The gray moon cat in Mel's arms also looked at the arranged duck eggs with a little anticipation, and began to caress and select them carefully.
Heshia thought for a moment and used her job agency ability to observe these duck eggs. They were basically fertilized duck eggs, but they had not yet hatched, and there were not many comparisons inside.
In the end, she and Mel each picked out three duck eggs, put them into the incubators prepared nearby, and then returned to the dormitory with them in their hands.
As long as the egg incubator is powered on, it can slowly heat the duck eggs to a suitable temperature, and finally hatch them. In the early stage, they can just raise them on the balcony of the dormitory. After that, they will train with the hatched ducklings. The teacher will also teach them step by step in the classroom. Let them learn and practice the things to pay attention to at each stage.
Back in the dormitory, Heshia set up the egg incubator, plugged it in, and then sat at the table in the living room and read a book. In fact, many theoretical classes were no worse than self-study in class, and most of the classes arranged for her in the academy were practical training classes. , the theoretical part requires her to study by herself in advance, which can save a lot of time.
At night, Heshia finished taking a bath and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep when she suddenly saw what seemed to be light in the living room.
When I walked over, I discovered that the indigo snake had opened the incubator, and then surrounded the three duck eggs. It was emitting a faint warm light, warming the surrounding temperature.
"You also want to hatch eggs, but they are not snake eggs, but duck eggs, stupid~" As she said that, Heshia knocked the little snake's head, trying to take out a few duck eggs and put them back in the incubator .
However, the indigo snake wrapped around her hand and protected the three eggs underneath, seemingly reluctantly.
Heshia tried a few more times after that, but unfortunately this guy seemed to have decided that he wanted to hatch the eggs by himself.
"Okay, just hatch the eggs, but the temperature must be suitable. Don't let me wake up the next day and see three roasted duck eggs." warned the little snake, Heshia knocked again, and then helplessly go to sleep.
She saw that the temperature maintained by the indigo snake was quite suitable and not too high, so she gave up temporarily. Otherwise, she would still pick up this thing and use an egg incubator instead.
But since you see it being so insistent, just obey it once. After all, she is not such a harsh person.
