Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 330

Chapter 328 Patent Application and Conversion of SS-Level Articles

Inside Harlan Vera’s office.

Harlan Vera asked, “By the way, Locke, how fast is your mental power increasing through meditation?”

Locke said: “It can be improved by about 1 point every day.”

Harlan nodded. “This improvement speed is even faster than I expected. This speed is about twice as fast as the improvement speed of the Son of Element after his promotion.”

“After the first ring, you can absorb more natural force from the natural force plane, so the improvement speed will of course be very fast.”

“This is very different from the apprentice stage. During the apprentice stage, where ten or even twenty nights of hard meditation were required to increase one point of mana, the speed of increasing mana during the official wizard stage is much faster.”

“The difficulty of advancing lies in the difference in mental power between the liquefaction stage and the vaporization stage, which is a full 3,000 points, that is, the total amount.”

Harlan Vera said, “This 3,000-point difference in mental power is equivalent to the mental power of three ordinary wizards. However, your mental power is increasing much faster than I expected.”

“After becoming an official wizard, your previous talent will play a smaller role. What matters is no longer your affinity with elemental particles. Because official wizards have so many ways to transform their bodies and souls, what matters is ideas, projects, and resources.”

Locke nodded, it was true.

The biggest reason why one cannot perform physical transformation to improve talent during the apprentice and mortal stages is not the lack of resources.

But the body is too fragile.

It is like carving patterns on a piece of tender tofu, which is naturally very difficult.

But the soul of a formal wizard is protected by a permanent defensive force field, so he can make relatively large changes to himself.

Improving the affinity of elemental particles is naturally a trivial matter.

In essence, the current speed at which his mana increases is more than twice that of an ordinary elemental child.

It was because he had transformed his own bloodline into that of a first-ring ancient creature (after becoming a first-ring wizard, he had improved the accuracy of the bloodline positioning of the three-eyed tiger-eyed cat).

Locke said to Harlan Vera, “Teacher Harlan, I want to publish the information for several of my apprenticeship projects, apply for patents, and publish S-level articles in the association. I also want to cooperate with Madam Irina. Perhaps we can reach a win-win cooperation on some things.”

“This way, I can also keep these projects within your network of relationships at Lilith’s Hut headquarters.”

“Teacher, what do you think?”

This is beneficial to both parties, or even all three parties, because there is also Lady Irina, who owns a large number of shops in the Chimera Market.

Harlan Vera nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face. “Locke, not every student learns to be grateful to their teacher like you do.”

“Of course I welcome this. As long as the projects you have in hand continue, they will be enough to help many of my students and even give them hope of becoming official wizards. Although those people may not have your talent, they may be able to become ordinary official wizards.”

Harlan Vera smiled with satisfaction and said, “I can help you contact Madam Irina. As for how to discuss it later, it’s up to you two. I can’t get involved.”

“Anyway, I won’t let you suffer any loss.”

“Thank you for helping me, teacher.” Locke saluted Harun Vera. With Harun Vera around, he could indeed protect his interests in the southeast corner industry. Otherwise, if his own people left, it would be really difficult to supervise this area.

…

A month later, Locke entered the public library, and the dwarf scholar Orr hurriedly left the front desk and walked out to salute Locke.

The dwarf scholar Orr said to Locke, “Master Augustine, the rankings for your previously published articles have been released.”

The dwarf scholar Orr looked at Locke with a complicated expression. He almost witnessed the entire process of Locke’s growth from a first-class wizard apprentice to a first-ring wizard.

Similarly, he also witnessed the entire process of witch Sophia growing into a formal wizard.

He didn’t know whether he would be able to see Locke’s students grow from wizard apprentices to official wizards in his lifetime.

I guess there won’t be such an opportunity anymore. I heard that the academy has agreed that Wizard Locke Augustine can leave Lilith’s Hut.

“Master Wizard Augustine, congratulations on your article receiving praise from numerous wizards in the Association and the Academy,” said the dwarf scholar Orr. “Your two magical vines, the cultivation methods for the Super Mandrake Vine and the Invisible Mandrake, have received A-level scores from the Association and S-level scores from the Academy.”

“Your methods for cultivating Crystal Lotus, Cistanche deserticola, and the recipe for Memory Ointment all received A-level scores from the association.”

“Your articles on the cultivation methods of Emerald Iris Lichen, Eye of Perseus Lichen, Ominous Mandrake Vine, and the principles of the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion have all been rated S-level by the Association and SS-level by the Academy.”

“Also, the recipe for your Eye Demon Lord Potion received a high score of 98 from the association, making it an S-level article and an SS-level article from the academy.”

Dwarf scholar Orr’s voice trembled as he spoke of Locke’s achievements. It was hard to believe a wizard could achieve such feats while still an apprentice. “Similarly, your article on methods for mass-producing rare magical plants received a perfect score from the association.”

“The association increased the permissions required to access the article.”

“Similarly, your article on the cultivation methods of the double-ball plane tree was also rated 100 points, and the permissions required to access the article have been restricted.”

Locke is leaving here now. Even if he wants to sell these things, it is difficult to ensure confidentiality. After all, he is not here and he has to come into contact with too many people. So he might as well use them to publish S-level association articles, apply for patents and win awards.

This will be more useful to you.

Anyway, in the final analysis, these are just some apprentice-level gadgets. Although they can improve the basic level of some botanical wizards in this wizarding land, especially those in the apprentice stage, they cannot improve it by much.

After all, many of these things are only suitable for oneself, and are magical plants or potions tailored for oneself.

For example, the side effects of the Eye Demon Lord Potion are not less than those of the Eye Demon Potion, but are even more serious. If an ordinary wizard drinks too much, he may be directly transformed into an abyss life form. Locke was worried that his Eye Demon Lord Potion would be included in the banned drug list by the White Wizard Association after the formula and effects were announced.

The one with the greatest impact is the appearance of the double-ball sycamore tree, which will allow more rare magic plants of the apprentice level to be found in the southeast corner of the region in the future.

Of course, these papers and patents only disclose the principles and do not provide too many details on the process.

Therefore, even if they announced it themselves, the only ones capable of copying it would be the most powerful ones in the southeast corner. Even if other wizarding organizations got the article and copied it, it would still be completely irrelevant.

Once these companies leave, as long as they continue to sell their products in the southeast corner, the principles and details of their products will definitely be stolen by the other party, and they will not be able to hide it for long.

As for the specific process details and mature mass production technology, I worked with Harun Vera’s students here to teach them these things, so that they can operate these projects in the southeast corner for me.

In this way, he could keep the project in the academy and Harun Vera.

This way, the college will not have any objections to me, and I can continue to earn a relatively stable income every year in the southeast corner.

After the dwarf scholar Orr finished speaking, he looked at Locke with reverence. “This time, you’ve published five articles rated A-level for the Association and S-level for the Academy; you’ve also published seven articles rated S-level for the Association and SS-level for the Academy.”

Forget about the articles that are A-level in the association and S-level in the college, these articles do not have any special influence.

However, articles of the Association’s S-level and the Academy’s SS-level, articles of this quality, would be more or less recognized even if they were taken to other wizarding lands.

This is an article that has reached a universal level.

The dwarf scholar Orr said, “You must be a very wizard. That’s why you have so many ideas even during your apprenticeship.”

“I believe in you. You will become an even greater wizard in the future.”

“Exploring truth and mysteries is exactly what wizards like us are supposed to do. However, for various reasons, some wizards have already lost their original intentions and have begun to pursue fame, fortune, and gain.”

The dwarf scholar Orr said, “Your Emerald Iris Lichen and Double-Ball Plane Tree have unique uses. Although they are only at the apprentice level, considering their significant role in future wars, and considering you are already a First Ring Wizard, the White Wizard Association of the Southeastern Region has specially reissued you with an Honorary Invention Certification Badge.”

“These two magical plants have been included in the germplasm bank of the White Wizard Association in the Southeastern Corner, and are being preserved with special first-level permissions. Furthermore, these two magical plants, like the other first-ring magical plants, have been included in the White Wizard Association’s list of the most valuable magical plants in the Southeastern Corner.”

“As for Alchemy, I’ve also issued you Honorary Invention Badges for the Bear Gallbladder Potion and the Eye Demon Lord Potion.”

“The recipe was preserved in the association’s public library and included in the White Wizard Association’s list of the most valuable potions in the Southeast Corner.”

The dwarf scholar, Orr, looked up at Locke and explained briefly. “The entry threshold for those two lists is either the invention of a first-level potion or magical plant, or an apprentice-level potion or magical plant of significant significance to the Southeast Region.”

“Having said that, it is very rare for an apprentice-level work to be included in these two lists, which further proves its value.”

“And I give you these four certification badges because you are already a first-ring wizard.”

“Similarly, your previous patent applications for these works have all been approved. All wizards in the Southeast Corner will remember that you are the inventor of these works.”

Locke understood what he meant. If he was not a first-ring wizard, even if he announced these magical plants and potions, he would not be able to obtain the Honorary Invention Certification Badge.

Because this is a privilege exclusive to first-ring wizards.

Therefore, magic level is the key to everything.

Doing the same thing, what you can gain at different magic levels is completely different.

In this way, you can use these things to exchange for fame and honor, and then you can use this as a springboard to seek bigger things.

Locke took the four association-level honorary invention certification badges and put them on himself. A month ago, Dean Thompson said that he was missing a one-ring-level badge.

Look, it’s coming.

Wearing four honorary certification badges for great inventions on your chest, they shine brightly and attract attention wherever you go, letting people know your achievements in the field of magic.

At the same time, it is also one of the stepping stones to apply for a teaching position.

Locke said a few words to the dwarf scholar Orr, then turned and headed for the Chimera Market. Although he had published the article and applied for a patent, he had not disclosed all the details. Therefore, his interests would only be relatively reduced, rather than disappearing completely.

Today, I have already met with Teacher Harun Vera and made an appointment with Mrs. Irina to discuss business cooperation in the VIP room of Li Jin Secret Language.
