For Nanali, life has been like a dream lately.

Especially after she signed a contract with the Northland Chamber of Commerce, Nanali was quite flustered by the large amount of gold coins. She even wondered more than once if she was dreaming.

As a poor alchemist, Nanali's greatest dream is to be able to do all the research on alchemy without restrictions. Rather than thinking about what was cheap and easy to buy every time she did an experiment, she even thought about replacing some alchemy recipes with herbs from the wild, just because it didn't cost money.........

Of course, in the end these all exploded. But this is also a matter of course, if the alchemy materials can be replaced by weeds, then the alchemist will not burn so much money.

But now, Nanali doesn't have to worry about these problems.

Her alchemy workshop has signed a contract with the Northland Chamber of Commerce, and the technology of the greenhouse and slime fertilizer is exclusively authorized to be used by the Northland Chamber of Commerce, not only that, but because of the value of these two technologies, Nanali is now also promoted two levels in a row and has become a third-level alchemist.

Not only was she able to obtain the alchemy materials she wanted from the Alchemist Guild, but she could also obtain some precious and rare alchemy materials from the Northland Chamber of Commerce. Not only that, but Mr. Frey of the Northland Chamber of Commerce promised that the supplies would be sold at cost, which was naturally a big surprise for Nanali. It can be said that now Nanali has completely lived the wonderful life she wanted, as long as she conducts alchemy research and experiments with peace of mind every day, she does not have to worry about starving to death, and she does not have to worry about living on the streets............

Of course, she hasn't forgotten who brought all this together.

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Nanali first shook the potion bottle in her hand, and only after confirming that the solution inside had calmed down before speaking. Hearing her response, the originally closed door opened, and then Fang Zheng walked in.

"How's it going? Miss Nanali? ”

"Ah, Mister Ezio!"

Seeing Fang Zheng walk in, Nanali also had a happy smile on her face, but soon, she sighed listlessly.

"I'm sorry, but there hasn't been any progress yet........."

"The materials are not well matched?"

"Hmm......... The main thing is that there are some raw materials that cannot find good substitutes, and those that are configured always have all kinds of problems. ”

As she spoke, Nanali looked not far away. There are several wooden rectangular pot-like containers with a solution similar to fresh water underneath, a layer of perforated planks on top, and some crops are planted. But these vegetables don't grow well. Either listless, wilted, or dried up.

"It's going to take a long time."

Nanali was also helpless when she said this, and Fang Zheng also nodded, to be honest, he still thought things too simple. At first, Fang Zheng thought that as long as there was slime fertilizer, it would not be difficult to configure a nutrient solution for soilless cultivation. But when it was time to do the experiment, Fang Zheng found that it was not the case at all.

It is true that slime fertilizer is comparable to Jinkela, which can speed up the ripening period of crops earlier and make them grow as long as possible, but it is only an auxiliary commodity after all. This is like a health care product, which may make your body strong and prolong your life, but it still can't replace staple foods such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, etc., you have to eat when you should eat, you have to drink water when you should drink water.

Slime fertilizer can replace some of it to a certain extent, but it cannot completely replace the soil. Although Nimfu gave a list through the analysis of the earth's nutrient solutions in the iron-blooded world. But how to integrate all the elements on this list together is difficult for Nanali.

Not to mention, it is very time-consuming to do agricultural research, configure a nutrient solution, whether it can be used or not is not to know by taking a sip, you have to plant the crop, and then wait for it to grow on its own, mature, and bear fruit. You can't move on to the next step until you're sure it's all right.

Luckily, the slime fertilizer has greatly shortened the growth cycle of the crop, otherwise Nanali would have wasted more time.

Now Nanali has cultivated more than a dozen nutrient solutions, but none of them seem to work.

"It's harder to configure the nutrient solution than you think?"

Fang Zheng said casually, then reached out and picked up the experiment record next to him and began to look through it. Nanali nodded helplessly.

"Yes, I've tried a lot of herb combinations, but I wasn't very satisfied. Some of them are good, but the price of the materials will be relatively high........."

Since using slimes to make fertilizer and greenhouses, Nanali has abandoned her original "only the best" approach and started to "focus only on the cheapest". Her own alchemy skills and knowledge are very solid, but Fang Zheng has also discovered now that this girl is really easy to drill into the horns.........

"You don't have to think about the cost just yet."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng was also helpless. When there was no money before, the other party didn't think about the cost at all, but now that the money is too much to spend, it starts to think about the cost.

"The price of nutrient solution is definitely higher than that of slime fertilizer, so don't think about reducing costs just yet. All in all, use all the ingredients you have at your disposal to make the nutrient solution that meets your needs, and then think about reducing costs. In the beginning, our nutrient solution was not intended to be sold to farmers, and ordinary farmers may not be able to afford it. ”

"Don't sell to farmers?"

Hearing this, Nanali was stunned for a moment.

"So who are we selling to?"

"The Holy Religion is a very good partner."

Fang Zheng looked very confident, he was a Templar after all, and he had a certain understanding of the concept of the Holy Cult Country and their style, even if such a thing as nutrient solution was made, the initial cost would not be greatly reduced. But if it is purchased by the Holy Religion Country, it is different, for them, money is never a problem.

And if it is used to maintain order and fight chaos, it will not be a problem.

Like those mercenaries who followed Fang Zheng to the Dark Capital before, although they suffered heavy losses, the rewards and rewards of the temple were not less after they returned. According to Stone's words, the mercenary group was paid enough to equip half of the heavily armed elite cavalry regiment.

The temple has a lot of money, and the money it can spend on it is not wasted.

After having money, Fang Zheng also found someone to repair and renovate the entire alchemy workshop. Now this alchemy workshop is not as dilapidated as before, and it looks much better.

Basically, by now, Nanali's alchemy workshop has ceased to be a "shop" and has become a professional research institute. She doesn't need to take other people's commissions to make things and sell them for money, she just needs to think about how she spends her money on alchemy. As for those greenhouses or something, Founder still stayed. After all, Nanali's research is in agriculture, and these things are still used when large-scale experiments are needed. And the crops grown in it do not need to be sold after they have blossomed and borne fruit. Before, it was taken out and sold in order to open up the popularity of its products, but now that the Northland Chamber of Commerce has taken over these, the rest is naturally to give it to the farmers in the greenhouse and the staff sent by the Alchemy Chamber of Commerce for welfare.

As for whether they take it back and eat it for themselves or sell it, Founder doesn't care.

Importantly, after the Northern Chamber of Commerce took away the "patent" authorization for the greenhouse and slime fertilizer, the previous troubles that were circling around disappeared. The Northern Chamber of Commerce has obtained the exclusive license, and other forces must deal with them if they want to get this technology again. And Nanali, as a researcher, was naturally excluded.

Of course, the Northern Chamber of Commerce also reciprocated the favor and sent a team of people to guard the alchemy workshop. From this point of view, Frey is still very discerning, and he also knows how to protect his "research assets". You may be a little dissatisfied with someone else, but Nanali herself is an otaku and doesn't go out if she can, so she doesn't care.

However, this time, Fang Zheng came to see Nanali, not just to discuss the issue of nutrient solution.

"In a few days, I'll be away for a while, and if there's anything next, I'll leave it to you."

"Huh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nanali couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Ezio, are you leaving?"

"I have some personal matters of my own."

Tossing these things is not long or short for Fangzheng, and a month will pass soon. Although he has been very idle this month, it is not in vain. You must know that this Krypton summon is also a month, and if it passes this month, then next month will be a different card pool UP.

Fang Zheng didn't know what the card pool would be up next month, this was not a game after all, so he planned to take advantage of the fact that this month had not passed, and first go to the dimensional world to have a look——— preferably the magic world, to be able to draw a magic soul stone, for Fang Zheng, this is the best.

"But, but ........."

Hearing that Fang Zheng was leaving, Nanali was obviously a little reluctant. She was very lonely when she lived alone, and the arrival of Fang Zheng and Nimfu made her feel the breath of a long-lost family, although Fang Zheng's intentions were very mysterious, but Nanali did not think that he was a bad person. And he also helped himself with so many things......... This made Nanali already invisibly dependent on the other party, but now, Fang Zheng said that he wanted to leave temporarily.........

"Don't worry."

Looking at Nanali's uneasy expression, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"I'm just out of the house, it won't take long."
