The day after the First Demon Moon, Green arrived at Merily's alchemy workshop early in the morning with two pots of mushrooms.

"Mr. Green, you've come just in time. I've confirmed the mushrooms you sent before, mushrooms are edible, but mushroom spores have a serious hallucinatory effect. The girl seemed pleased.

"Mushroom spores?" Grimm had a puzzle in his eyes.

"Yes. The mushrooms you bring are too mana high, but as long as the mushrooms are dried in the sun and then cooked, the magic content will reach a safe level and can be used as magic ingredients. But those ripe mushroom spores have a phantom and berserk effect. ”

"Hmm...... Wait a minute. Do you mean that those people fell into a rage because they ate mushroom spores that have a berserk effect, not because the mushroom itself has too much mana? ”

"I should say there are two reasons. Excessive mana levels can cause mana poisoning, reducing the resistance of the eater, as well as enhancing the illusionary effect of the spores. The girl beckoned to Green, "Come with me, I'll show you around." ”

Led by the girl, Green walked into the workshop.

In a messy workshop, the girl brought in a bamboo basket that was placed on the windowsill and showed Green the dried mushrooms inside.

"According to my research, those small, unopened mushrooms don't have any illusionary effects. Although the mana content is too high, as long as they are dried, the mana content can reach a safe level and can be used as an ingredient in magic cooking. The girl took out a mushroom from the basket that was in full bloom, the size of a human head, and showed it to Green, "But this open-sporulated, ripe mushroom is very dangerous, although the mushroom is not poisonous, but the mushroom spores in it have a strong hallucinatory effect, which will make the eater fall into a state of anger and rage." You said earlier that you became irritable after eating mushrooms, so you should have eaten this one. ”

"Hmm...... I understand. So do these spores have medicinal properties? ”

"Yes! But research is still needed. Merily put the mushrooms back in the basket, "Since the spores of these mushrooms have a phantom and violent effect, they may not be able to be made into some special potions after purification. The specifics still need to be studied, and it's just too timely that you can send a few pots of fresh mushrooms. ”

"I'm looking forward to your research."

"The results of the research? Would you like to try mushroom cuisine first? Merily said happily, "This mushroom you sent has a strong mana preservation effect, and if you make it into a dish, it will have a mana recovery effect. ”

"Magic cuisine?"

"Yes, magic cuisine."

Magical cuisine is similar to the medicinal food on Earth, using a variety of magical or special medicinal effects to cook the food to give it a specific effect. Food has the effect of mana recovery, and this effect is placed in the game, so after eating, you can hang a buff buf with mana recovery +N for a certain period of time.

"How's the recovery going?"

"Hmm...... The effect of frying, stewing, and roasting is not very good, and it can only be said that talking is better than nothing, and it will probably be of some help to those magicians who are recuperating. ”

"Sounds like a bit of a chicken."

"At the moment, yes. But with those fresh mushrooms you sent, I can try other cooking methods in the future, and maybe I can make a dish with a powerful mana regeneration effect. ”

"It would be great if it really could."

After leaving a few pots of fresh mushrooms, Green left the alchemy workshop and waited a week for Miss Merily's research to come out.

The study of medicinal diets requires chefs to grasp the taste and characteristics of various foods in order to make reasonable combinations. As a gifted alchemist, Melily was well aware of the properties of various common plants, so a week later, Melily paid Grimm three recipes.

————

Spicy Dried Chaos Mushrooms: A dish marinated in dried Chaos mushrooms that is easy to preserve and has a certain magical regeneration effect.

Special effect: +1 mana/hour for 1 hour.

————

Chaos Mushroom Rabbit Soup: A dish made with Chaos mushrooms and rabbit eggs as the main ingredients, and has a certain magic recovery effect.

Special effect: +2 mana/hour for 2 hours.

————

Magic Rabbit Egg Soup: A rabbit egg soup made with a certain proportion of silver leaf grass, condensing flowers, and chaos mushrooms, which has a certain magic recovery effect and can reduce mental fatigue.

Effects: +4 mana/hour, mental fatigue -5 for 2 hours.

In the kitchen of Melily's house, Green succeeded in making three very different recipes according to the recipe that Melily had paid. Looking at the attributes of the three foods, Green was very satisfied! In particular, dried spicy mushrooms, which are easy to preserve, are perfect as a souvenir product.

However, rather than simply developing products, the most important thing is that Miss Merily discovered the problem of the spores of the Chaos Mushroom and determined that the Chaos Mushroom was edible after drying.

"By the way, Miss Merrily, why do you always like to cook with rabbit eggs? Do you have a grudge against rabbits? ”

"Rabbits eat grass, they have a good relationship with mushrooms, and rabbit eggs are cheap! If you change it to a bird egg, the effect of a normal bird egg is not as good as that of a rabbit egg, and you need to use a more advanced rare bird egg to achieve the same effect. ”

"I see. Worthy of professionalism. Green smiled and placed a small pocket on the table, "If you're paid, can you see if that's enough?" ”

Melily picked up her pocket and touched it. It's not a magic crystal! Melily was a little disappointed.

I opened my pocket and looked inside. Sure enough, all of them were silver. There was a hint of disappointment on the girl's face.

"Not satisfied?" Green asked, "I'm paid for the research and development of the cuisine. ”

Green had made a point of inquiring about the price of the research commission before, so he had some idea of how much to give.

"Woooooooo......oo "In terms of the remuneration for the development of the cuisine, it is very generous.

"You've discovered that mushroom spores have a phantom, berserk effect, right? So can I entrust you with the continued development of the medicinal properties of mushrooms? ”

"Medicinal value?" The girl raised her head and thought for a moment, "This is more troublesome." And in my opinion, the medicinal value of these mushrooms is very low! ”

Compared with medicinal diet, the research and development of pharmaceuticals is much more troublesome! Not only does the pharmacist need to master the properties of various herbs, but it also requires continuous testing to arrive at the correct formula. It's a very time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, and there's a good chance you'll end up with nothing, or research out some waste medicine that you don't know what to do!

"Since these mushrooms can be used to make mana regeneration potions, they should be able to make mana regeneration potions as well, right?"

"No, it won't. The magic of these mushrooms is too turbid to be used at all if it is not dried and a part of the turbid magic is purified. ”

"Hmm...... What about poison or berserk? ”

"I don't study things that hurt people." The girl shook her head and refused.
