Back in Tillanders, it was almost a month before the start of the school year, so there weren't many students in the school.

Zoe went with Fawkes to help Raven awaken the little phoenix, and she hasn't come back yet.

After checking in with Mr. Snape and returning to school, Sherlock found Professor Sprout, the herbology teacher, on his own.

He had some questions for the promotion of his cooking skills.

What determines the quality of a bottle of wine is nothing more than the brewing process and the raw materials.

To be honest, after so many years of development, the winemaking process on the continent of Faren is already quite perfect, and it is almost difficult to improve it.

Therefore, if you want to make a breakthrough, you can only start from raw materials.

Sherlock originally prepared a lot of high-quality brewing ingredients, such as ice confectionery for Lesserman's firewine, mushroom seeds from the Northland, and purple rice from the Purple Dust Plains......

Unfortunately, the results were not ideal.

Until one time, he accidentally mixed the seeds of the fiery mushroom while making hot wine.

Of course, the brewing failed, but he had the whimsical idea of obtaining a better raw material by crossbreeding.

In reality, hybridization is not uncommon.

Especially after the cataclysm, many plants were actually preserved through hybridization.

So is it possible to replicate this technique in a Forgotten Realm with such a high degree of fidelity?

"Your idea is a novelty!" Professor Sprout stopped what he was doing: "Theoretically, it is indeed possible to combine the genetic characteristics of two plants of the same type through the technique you have described, but in practice, there are too many variables. “

"What if I had the grace of Lady Luck?" Sherlock said confidently.

"The elixir isn't as powerful as you might think, and its side effects aren't small." Sprout clearly misunderstood Sherlock.

"I understand, Professor." Sherlock pointed to the flower leaf that flew out of the astral plane and explained, "The goddess of luck I'm talking about is actually her. ”

"What a rich life force!" Sprout was very sensitive to this kind of power, and couldn't help but exclaim, "With the help of this little guy, maybe you can really succeed." “

"Professor, can I rent a greenhouse for my experiments?" The school's greenhouse can change the internal climate at will, and there is no better place to do hybrid experiments.

Sprout is naturally happy to see the students so motivated: "This is the key to the greenhouse, and you can use it at will before school starts." ”

Sherlock took the keys, a little incredulous: "You gave them all to me?" ”

"Too much?"

"No, no......no," Sherlock shook his head and quickly put the key away.

……

Taking over the greenhouse, Sherlock did not immediately start experimenting, but instead made an experimental plan first.

Normal crosses are all about producing a progeny that can have both dominant genes and reproduce normally.

Hybridization is divided into distantly related hybrids and close hybrids, and not all two plants can be hybridized.

So, the first step in the hybridization experiment is to pick out two plants that are not reproductively isolated.

Sherlock still had some knowledge of herbalism, and with Professor Sprout on his side, he soon found two plants that matched him—ice confectionery and fiery mushroom seeds.

It is somewhat surprising that these two plants, which grow in completely different environments and shapes, belong to the same family.

The next step is the selection of dominant genes.

His aim was to make wine, of course, to select the characteristics that would be beneficial to the winemaking.

Next, as long as the selected ice confectionery and mushroom seeds are manually pollinated, the desired finished product can be cultivated.

Finally, in order to maximize the quality of the hybrid variety, it is necessary to continuously simulate various growing environments in order to obtain the best quality fruit.

The whole plan may seem simple, but as Professor Sprout said, in practice, there are so many variables in genetic inheritance.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three or four years to successfully breed the species that Sherlock envisioned.

Fortunately, Mosaic's ability is strong enough to perceive and manipulate the growth of plants at will, coupled with the invisible influence of the power of fate, this time was finally shortened to half a month.

Prompt: You have successfully cultivated a new plant, please name it.

Sherlock looked at the tender green vine in front of him, and a mysterious feeling suddenly came to his heart.

The feeling was familiar, similar to the seven points when he received the Book of Truth and the Power of Fate, except this time it seemed to be much lighter, and it didn't affect his consciousness.

"It's unbelievable that you really succeeded." Sprout couldn't put into words the surprise he felt at this moment.

Previously, affirming Sherlock's theories and offering help was just because she didn't want to discourage a student's desire to explore the truth, which did not mean that she really believed that the other person would succeed.

Because going back to the source, cultivating hybrid plants already belongs to the realm of creation.

Even if it is a god, without the relevant priesthood, it is impossible to set foot in this realm, let alone a mortal.

What does this druid have to do with Château or Melicay?

Strautou couldn't help but wonder about Sherlock's identity.

Sherlock, who had not yet realized what that meant, was completely immersed in joy.

With a fertile female parent, the rest is much simpler.

Sunlight, temperature, soil, moisture......

Experiments on control variables for all factors that affect plant growth gave him a large number of high-quality furry fruits in less than half a day.

Finally, it's time to make sake with the fruit of the fire.

Fruit wine fermentation generally takes 15 to 30 days, and in order to find the optimal fermentation time, Sherlock made 50 samples at once.

After sealing all the samples, all you have to do is wait, and whether you can successfully advance to the culinary master with this depends on the arrangement of fate.

But speaking of which, the power of fate is in his hands, so why can't he arrange it for himself.

……

While waiting for the wine to ferment, Sherlock began to work on the promotion of his sewing skills again.

He ultimately decided to make a cape that would increase his concealment abilities.

Of all the equipment a player can wear, the cape is consistently the rarest.

The low quality is fine, the excellent and the excellent and above quality, even Sherlock is rarely seen.

Therefore, he is level 50, and he is still equipped with the level 15 cloak he got from Illyrian in the Supreme Forest back then, the Lingyue Streamer.

The attributes of the Lingyue streamer were quite perfect for Sherlock at the time, but now, it is a bit ordinary.

He needs some more functional and targeted stat bonuses.

Especially after a fight with the green ghost queen, he has a new idea for his tactical system.

Invisibility, doppelganger, transformation, mind dreaming, illusion, this is a set of combination skills that can be called a team battle-stirring stick.

He has a shadow stealth in his Catwoman form, which is slightly worse than stealth and requires a certain degree of enhancement.

The ninja's multiple shadow clones are much stronger than the ordinary doppelgangers, so they don't need to be strengthened.

Next up is the transformation provided by the Harpist's badge, which not only needs to change the badge, but the effect after the transformation is not very good, which needs to be paid special attention to.

Then there is the Mind Dream Building Technique, which depends on how far the Ghost Woman's Eye bought for 4.5 million can improve this skill.

Finally, there is illusion that you can't do at all, and it's best to have the cape directly attached to the corresponding skill.

Summing up all the requirements, Sherlock had a preliminary plan for the creation of this cape.

As for the materials needed to make the cloak, he had already asked someone to buy them half a month ago.

Although the price is a little expensive, I finally got together 16 sets, and I can try it.
