Chapter 63: Fortune Follower

In the midst of the confusion, I quickly added an explanation.

"The winner is required to cooperate with me in sharing and improving the technology. Only those who are willing to do so should sign the application form."

Of course, no one really listened to those words. Each of them was busy gossiping with their disciples. It felt like a contract that was passing by at an incredible speed, but whatever. I'm not going to steal their technology and abuse it.

My intention is for us all to live well together.

"Ahem! I'll think about it for a bit and decide later."

"We will also send a doctor later."

The speech was lukewarm, but it seemed like no one would refuse to participate.

I sent the craftsmen out with a big smile.

Then I went into the inner room of the office. There were dozens of bowls lying there, isolated.

'The rest isn't that difficult. The problem is how to cultivate it.'

I exposed the fruiting bodies collected from scorpions to various environments.

The purpose was to find out the suitable food for cultivation and the conditions necessary for growth.

Because I can't keep inoculating those bugs with spores all the time.

They're too dangerous for that, I know. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, the experiment was not completed so simply. If it were easy in the first place, there would be no reason to take the risk of collecting Cordyceps militaris.

"Oh my! I'm not a graduate student, and here I am doing an experiment that I never thought I would do."

I thought it would be better to leave this to someone else. The method is simple anyway. It just requires endless repetitive work.

Knock. Knock.

Someone knocked on the door. After I cleaned up the room that had been turned into a laboratory, I went outside.

"Who is it?"

"Hello? Are you busy?"

The visitor was none other than Princess Justia.

The purpose of her body twisting and smiling bashfully was clear.

'That's a good thing. If I let her participate in the experiment, she'll lose interest in me.'

It did feel a little awkward, but what can I do? We brought in a vice minister through a handsome man, so I can't draw a clear line.

There is no choice but to push them away little by little while tightroping. I hope she goes back to her fiancé.

"I was originally busy. I think it would be good if you could help me."

"Oh! What is it?"

"Please come this way first."

I led her into the bedroom.

Then Justia's face turned bright red as if it was going to burst. I guess she was imagining something erotic, but it's ridiculous!

When she heard the details of the experiment, she gave a hollow laugh.

"…You were preparing something like this?"

"Yes, because this mushroom will save Deliat."

"Okay! Okay. What should I do first?"

"You can start from number 188 as written in the plan here."

"I'll do it from now on, so take a rest."

"Thank you."

Princess Justia quickly adapted to the experiment. It wasn't because she had higher education, but it felt like she had quite a bit of work to do.

I lay down on the sofa in my office with a big smile on my face.

'Let's take a break. It seems like I've been working harder since coming over to this world.'

I was about to fall asleep when I heard a sharp sound from the bedroom.

Clang!

"Piss off!"

It seemed that Princess Justia had broken something while conducting an experiment.

As expected, two of the bowls used in the experiment were broken.

"It's okay. Just go back to the number written on the bowl. Just step back so you don't get hurt."

I spoke in as soft a tone as possible, fearing that she might be surprised. But she didn't seem that surprised.

Instead, she just calmly pointed between the broken dishes.

"No. That's not it. Would you like to see this?"

"Huh? What… Huh?"

Surprisingly, Cordyceps sinensis was in full bloom there.

The body of a scorpion was so incredibly abundant that I had never seen it before.

That meant the experiment was a success.

'No, how long has it been since ahe came in?'

As I was looking at Princess Justia, unable to hide my bewilderment, a hologram suddenly appeared.

I opened the information window without realizing it.

It's amazing to have someone with such incredible abilities so close to me.

I guess this woman…

"Should I hire her as an employee?"

Of course, it was absurd to hire a princess from one country. In the first place, she is a person who has no need to work.

No matter how much I gave, all I would get in return would be a fart.

'But I feel guilty about using the term 'pretty boy' again.'

Anyway, thanks to Justia's skill 'Fortune Follower,' I figured out the proper cultivation conditions.

The key now was to mass-produce this and turn it into a dry ring.

That way, it can be stored for a long time.

The current method can't send it far because it's too humid.

'I've overcome one big mountain, but there's still a long way to go.'

It seemed like I would probably have to go through many more experiments.

Because I need to find out if the medicinal properties are still there even after drying the pills.

To do that, i have to eat this first…

"Ah, this won't work."

A good medicine for men in front of Princess Justia?

Does that mean she is trying to seduce me openly?

I stared blankly at the Cordyceps sinensis and then turned my gaze to the side.

Then I saw her crescent-shaped eyes.

"Would you like to try it?"

No, why do you recommend that? People are scary.

For a moment, the image of Justia beating her fiancé with a warhammer came to mind.

I don't want to be like that.

"I guess I'll have to refine it first. It's important when it's made into a single ring."

As I hurriedly wrapped the Cordyceps militaris in a cotton cloth, she smacked her lips as if she was disappointed.

But why is she looking eyes at my hand?

Does she want to try Cordyceps sinensis?

'No, not when she's with me.'

I would never allow her to this.
