Big Capitalist

The next day, in the alchemy classroom.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Merlin felt a strange smell permeating the air. It was an overly strong smell of spices mixed with some stench. The smell emitted by the mixture of various spices was strange, but it was definitely not a pleasant smell.

Merlin even wanted to make a mask before going to class. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and sat in his seat with the wrapped clod of earth in his hand.

Chris also placed the aromatherapy she made on the table, while Fate placed her body water with a painful look on his face.

"Damn it, I'm never going to put black pepper and mint in my body water again. I still feel a slight pain in my butt."

Merlin shuddered when he heard Fate's words. Mint? Black pepper, enema water made from this stuff, I really don't know how Fate had the courage to try it himself.

Chris looked at the dirt ball that Merlin had placed on the table and was a little confused. "Merlin, what is this? How did you make a dirt ball?"

"This is my alchemy homework."

“Haha ↑haha ↓ha~”

Obscene laughter came from the side. The rat man Sigma and his gang of friends laughed at the clod of earth on Merlin's desk.

Especially the rat man Sigma "Merlin, you said this is your alchemy homework? A mud ball? You didn't mix spices with mud?"

"Wow, you are a genius! Mud and spice, the lowest mud and the noblest spice, this is such an interesting combination."

Merlin rolled his eyes and ignored this idiot.

Sigma took out the incense sticks he had made and placed them on the table. He looked at Merlin provocatively and said, "Merlin, take a good look at this. This is something you will never be able to make in your lifetime."

"Idiot." Merlin ignored this guy. He really didn't know why he kept picking on him. Was it really because of his handsome face?

Just as the rat man Sigma was about to say something, he saw Teacher Harrington walk in. He instantly turned back into a gloomy "rat" and stopped talking.

This class was to check the results of students' homework. Harrington did not say much. He asked students to place their works on the table and then graded them personally.

As a senior alchemist, Harrington's perfume-making skills are naturally very high. He can tell the quality of the perfume with just a sniff. Of course, he will also ask students about the production process and techniques used.

The full score is naturally ten, but for these students who have just started formal alchemy, it is not easy to get seven points, and most of them only get five or six points.

Harrington came to Sigma, picked up the incense stick he made, crushed it a little, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, smiled and said, "Not bad, this incense stick is very good, I can give you a score of 7."

When the rat man Sigma heard what Harrington said, he immediately straightened his back and looked at Merlin with a provocative look.

Harrington turned his head and saw the huge clod of earth on Merlin's desk. His expression froze slightly, and he skipped Chris and walked forward to ask, "Merlin, what is this?"

"This is my spice homework, Mr. Harrington." Merlin pointed to the clod of earth in front of him.

Teacher Harrington's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at the big ball in front of him carefully. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Merlin, although spices can indeed make fragrant mud, it will definitely not be such a big ball, and I don't see anything related to spices in this mud ball. Can you please explain what this is?"

"Teacher, what else could it be? Merlin must have secretly hidden or sold the spices you gave him. After all, the Leo family has gone bankrupt, and he is desperate for money now!" said the rat man Sigma in a mean manner.

Harrington heard Sigma's words and looked at Merlin again, wanting to hear his explanation.

Merlin didn't say much, but knocked open the mud ball in front of him and broke open the soil to reveal the lotus leaf wrapped inside.

Lotus leaf? Harrington had no idea that there was something hidden inside this mud ball.

After tearing open the last lotus leaf, the golden beggar's chicken was exposed to everyone's view.

Then a strong aroma of meat spread domineeringly throughout the classroom, dispelling all the previous unpleasant smells.

"What...what is this fragrance!?"

“I feel like my saliva is dripping!”

"Oh my god, it smells so good, but it doesn't smell like spices..."

"Gurgle, my stomach is growling!"

"I wonder why I'm so hungry!"

"I want to eat breakfast!"

In the classroom, the sounds of countless stomachs growling were heard, and the students were instantly attracted to the beggar's chicken that Merlin had prepared.

Teacher Harrington looked at the beggar chicken in front of him and asked in shock, "Merlin, is this your homework?"

“Yes, sir, I combined the spices and ingredients, namely chicken, to create this delicacy.”

"Delicious food! In other words, this thing is edible?" Chris on the side looked at the beggar's chicken in front of her in disbelief, her saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, and her stomach was the loudest.

"Is it really edible?" Fate couldn't believe it either.

Merlin took out the knife he carried with him, cut a piece of meat from the beggar's chicken and handed it to Teacher Harrington. "Teacher, would you like to try it?"

Teacher Harrington took the knife, swallowed his saliva, and put the chicken into his mouth.

Instantly, the rich aroma of gourmet food filled his mouth. The perfect mixture of sweet chicken and spices exploded in his mouth like a bomb.

Harrington felt like he was in a spring of golden chicken soup. All the muscles in his body were trembling comfortably. The rich aroma hit him and washed his spiritual sea!

After tasting the chicken in his mouth, Harrington slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the beggar chicken in front of him and nodded in approval. "What an amazing work, very innovative, a perfect combination of ingredients and spices. This is a great alchemy. I am going to give you ten points Merlin, you have created a new alchemical miracle!"

When the students heard what Teacher Harrington said, their eyes widened and their mouths opened. They could tell from the teacher's expression how delicious this thing was.

Merlin stood up and put his hands on his chest and bowed slightly, saluting to Teacher Harrington. "Thank you for your compliment, teacher."

"Absolutely! Impossible! I don't believe it!" The ratman Sigma screamed and broke through the defense.

Harrington looked a little dissatisfied when he heard Sigma's words. He looked at Sigma and said, "Student Sigma, do you have any questions about my evaluation?"
