Chapter 88: A Twist, Tying the Pace
Since the materials in the research lab are all provided free of charge, Leo can improve his knowledge of the encyclopedia for free.
If Leo can obtain a perfect Raven Mana Growth Potion within the specified time, he will make a fortune.
After all, what Leo needs most right now is a perfect quality potion that can enhance his mental energy.
Even if Raven's mana growth potion is a little more expensive, it's still a profit.
Through a series of ingenious operations, a bottle of Raven's Mana Growth Potion was quickly crafted.
This is a bottle of high-quality medicine.
A smile appeared on Leo's lips. Just as Leo had predicted, when the illustration of Raven's Mana Growth Potion reached the Excellent quality level, his chances of refining the Excellent quality potion had indeed greatly increased.
With these achievements, Leo became even more motivated.
The second bottle, the third bottle, the fourth bottle...
All afternoon, Leo concocted only high-quality Raven mana growth potions.
Although there are fewer finished products of the medicine compared to before, the assessment results only consider the quantity of high-quality medicines and not the quantity of ordinary quality medicines.
The sky gradually darkened.
The wizards in the research lab dispersed.
Andrei summoned the two responsible persons again to give a report on the results.
Group 1 produced seven bottles, Group 2 produced six bottles, and Group 3 produced six bottles.
After the final report was released, Andrei couldn't help but smile. Clearly, with everything settled, the anxiety he had felt earlier had completely disappeared.
No matter how outstanding Leo was, he ultimately couldn't reverse their team's victory.
After finishing his report, Andrei said with feigned nonchalance, "It seems that our group was luckier this time, barely winning by a small margin. But if we had two more days, maybe your group two could have caught up with us."
Maud glanced at him coldly and said, "The report is finished. I'm going back now."
The leaders of the three groups also got up to leave.
Because of Andrei's actions, these two wizards, who used to have a relatively harmonious relationship with Andrei, now harbor a certain degree of hostility towards him.
They all decided not to accept Andrei's lab's invitation next time.
Andrei knew this, but he didn't care; in his world, there was only winning and losing. He won, and that was the result.
If he wins, his resume will look good, and even without the current wizard apprentices in his lab, other wizard apprentices will be willing to join his lab.
Just then, Ellis's voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, Wizard Mord, why are you reporting so quickly again? The potion Leo concocted hasn't been included yet."
Although it was very slight, if you listened carefully, you would find a hint of teasing in these words.
Ellis's words stunned Mord, Andre, and the head of Group Three.
Maud said in surprise, "Why again... um, sorry, I was too impatient."
The refining process over the past few days had put Morde on edge, and he desperately needed to relax, so he didn't check with Ellis to confirm the situation.
The person most surprised by Ellis's arrival was not Maud, but Andrei.
Andrei stared intently at Ellis.
Andrei really found Ellis annoying.
They would only interrupt Andrei when he was feeling smug, saying that the statistics hadn't been completed yet.
Why couldn't this person have just finished their work earlier? They had to pull this stunt!
The three group leaders, on the other hand, were all smiles, purely watching the show.
Ellis cleared her throat and said, "Here's the situation regarding the potions Leo concocted today: eight bottles of ordinary quality potions."
This data disappointed Maud a little, but made Andrei's lips curl up slightly.
"However, there are six bottles of the premium quality potion."
After Ellis finished speaking, Maud's eyes widened immediately, and she asked again incredulously, "How many bottles were there again?"
Ellis emphasized, "Six bottles."
The group leader exclaimed in surprise, "Including these six bottles, doesn't your group two have the same number as group one?"
"Not only that, we have more common-quality potions," Ellis said. "That means we won. Wizard Mord, our team two won!"
Ellis smiled, all her previous gloom gone.
Having been bullied by Andrei for so many days, he had been holding back his anger for a long time.
Now I can finally vent.
However, Andrei and Maud said at the same time, "No, it's a draw."
Even the team leaders from the three groups said, "It's definitely a tie."
Ellis looked puzzled.
Maud said, "We're only comparing the quality of the potions, so it's a draw, not a win."
Ellis glanced at the three group leaders and, seeing that they shared the same opinion, he pursed his lips and said, "A tie is a tie. In any case, we're still in first place."
The three group leaders shook their heads, their expressions subtle, and said, "It seems that only our three groups have lost."
Two of these three groups tied for first place, which means only those three groups lost.
Although he lost, he had a good attitude and didn't care too much.
Andrei, who tied for first place, looked rather grim.
Because in his view, this was not a draw, but a loss.
After all, at this refining speed, if Leo were given another day, wouldn't Group Two win?
Andrei said, "Where is the medicine for the statistics? I need to check."
As if she had anticipated Andrei's response, Ellis immediately said, "I've already brought the potion that Leo concocted."
Afterwards, Andrei carefully checked the potion's condition. Only after confirming that it was indeed an indisputably high-quality potion did he reluctantly acknowledge that Group 1 and Group 2 were tied for first place.
After the report, Maud, Ellis, and the heads of the three groups left.
At this moment, the wizard in charge of statistics from one of the groups came to Andrei's side.
A hint of worry appeared on his face as he said, "Wizard Andre, should we really include the high-quality potions concocted by Wizard Fia? She herself has stated that these potions barely meet the standards and might be used against her. She believes that these high-quality potions she concocts should be classified as ordinary quality potions."
Worry appeared on Andrei's face.
In the past, classifying these drugs as high-quality drugs would have actually benefited their research lab.
This will allow the laboratory to have more high-quality drug samples, and thus obtain better evaluations when verifying results.
However, this time the person in charge of the verification was Envoy Kelly, who had a specific target in mind for the research room at the Esmond Assembly.
If she uses this as an excuse to cause trouble, it might lead to some problems.
However, after thinking for a moment, Andrei said, "Even if it barely meets the standard, it still meets the standard. It's a high-quality potion, so it's a high-quality potion."
The situation of Envoy Kelly does indeed need to be considered.
However, Andrei could not admit that some of the high-quality potions in his group were not good, otherwise it would mean that they could only be second place.
Being tied for first place with someone else was already frustrating for Andrei; if he really lost and came in second, he would probably explode with anger.
