Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 429

Chapter 427 You Have Deeply Changed This Place

Chapter 427 You have profoundly changed the
White Dragon Tower. In the bedroom, Locke sat on the bed, completing today’s meditation, and at the same time thinking about whether he should accept the lesson from the Star Sea.

There is no doubt that the topic is very suitable for the competition that I am currently participating in. The only problem is the difficulty.

It’s really too difficult.

Locke himself wanted to work on the Star Sea project, and Witch Sophia gave the project to him because he was very suitable for the project, and she also believed that she had the ability to complete the project.

Locke himself is also confident. After all, he has a synthetic Rubik’s Cube, which can skip a large number of experimental steps and capture the correct direction, so he will definitely do this project, but the question is whether to include it as part of the competition.

“To complete this project, it would require an investment of millions of magic stones, no matter how you look at it.” Locke pondered, “If I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait to save up that much money. Besides, using it to participate in the competition is the most appropriate.”

“I’m just worried that this research group can’t keep up with my ideas.”

Having high expectations but low skills is the most common problem that occurs in the research team of a young tutor.

After all, not everyone pursues highly challenging research; many wizards are more pragmatic. For wizarding society to thrive, it needs both wizards who pursue their ideals and those who are down-to-earth, committed to transforming their research and achieving breakthrough improvements.

Many young tutors take too big steps and ignore the level of their current platform, which can easily lead to failure and end up with nothing.

“Let’s take it one step at a time,” Locke pondered. “For now, I’ll decide on this project as the main direction. I’ll continue to review materials based on this direction. Once Montgomery, Barbara, and Tacitus finish writing their project proposals, I’ll consider the topic comprehensively.”

Locke then began his full day’s work.

Time flies and a month has passed.

During this time, Locke spent his days meditating, practicing his mental compression techniques, and then guiding his students, allowing the forty-plus wizard apprentices to review materials. While the four instructors were selecting topics, they learned some basics so they could immediately get to work.

In the spare time between guiding these students and practicing himself, Locke also has to use this scattered time to look up breeding information, and cooperate with the wizard Takla during this period to complete the matching magic of the same blood and branches and the diamond succulent. At the same time, he has to seize every minute and second to learn how to configure the mastermind control potion.

Locke really made the most of his time. In a whole month, he only slept for two nights, maintaining the minimum amount of sleep to prevent any problems with his soul.

There is no other way. With more projects, I need to balance my time for self-cultivation, project work and teaching students.

If you spend more time on any of these three aspects, you will spend less time on other areas.

This will then affect your achievements in other areas.

Once you take the wrong path, it will affect your future.

A month later, Locke and Wizard Takla completed the matching magic [Mayfly Bomb] for Diamond Succulent, and also learned a level of botanical magic [One Breed, One Branch].

In the Louis Underground Research Institute, Wizard Takla seemed very excited. He used the mayfly bomb to control the six diamond succulents. At the same time, he used the same energy to connect the magical energy of the six diamond succulents to each other. In this way, the six diamond succulents formed a disc shape and appeared behind him.

Wizard Takla said to Locke, “Director, your idea is truly brilliant. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about the Mayfly Bomb we created together.”

Locke nodded slightly.

Takla Wizard hesitated for a moment, under the dim light of the underground laboratory. “Director, I’d also like to join your research group. The research results on diamond succulents are already out. You can also let the students write the final report and budget.”

“There’s not much I can do next. Perhaps it would be okay for me, an old man, to join your research group and help you out.”

Locke shook his head slightly. “But Wizard Takla, you’ve seen the intensity of the Yunze Cup competition. Montgomery, Barbara, Tacitus, and the others haven’t slept a single night this month.”

“Are you sure you want to join our research group? Can you handle this level of competition?”

It’s funny to say, the wizard mentors themselves are definitely the most anxious about the competition projects, so the students are not as busy as them. At present, those students have not officially joined the team. Locke just helped them negotiate with the library and asked the library director to open the fourth-level authority to the students in his project team, allowing them to freely browse information in the library.

On the contrary, these first-ring wizards have not slept for a month.

Wizard Takla hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to ask to join. He was a hundred years older than Wizard Tacitus. Although he looked like a middle-aged man, he was actually over four hundred and fifty years old.

His soul structure is not as stable as that of a young first-ring wizard.

If you don’t sleep for too long, problems will definitely arise.

During the collective sleep paralysis incident thousands of years ago, many wizards were first-ring wizards. The older the first-ring wizard, the more likely he is to develop sleep paralysis when he stays awake for a long time.

Once sleep paralysis occurs, it can only be controlled but not cured.

This disease is one of the most difficult to cure diseases in the wizarding world. It is even more terrifying than elemental imbalance because Locke has not yet encountered the cause of this disease.

Not sleeping, besides possibly inducing sleep paralysis, also has many other problems. Wizard Takla is too old, and his soul also has many hidden scars left by the exploitation of labor in the past.

He would even suffer terribly during the middle of the month, during the full moon, because of the side effects left on his soul by his relentless experiments in his youth.

Wizard Takla sighed, “Well, such an intense research task is indeed no longer suitable for me. Research requires a strong and healthy body and soul. Otherwise, the enormous consumption alone is enough to destroy a person.”

Doing research requires not only intelligence and talent, but also a strong body.

Because many research projects require repetitive work, and there is no progress bar at all, the torment and persistence involved are unimaginable.

Those who expect immediate returns will easily develop negative feedback in this situation, and may give up on research or turn to projects that are almost certain to produce results.

Locke looked at the Takla Wizard, whose eyes flashed with regret, and said with a smile, “You can write a good conclusion for this project. Besides, I want to use this diamond succulent to participate in another competition.”

“I’m currently competing in three competitions in a row and I’m already too busy to handle everything, so please go and participate in this competition for me. I’ll just put my name on it.”

Locke explained, “This is a breeder competition held on the Sun Shadow Peninsula called the Light and Shadow Cup. Participating plants must be consumables, similar to our Diamond Succulents.”

“Our advantage lies in the rational use of the Diamond Succulent’s elemental backflow mechanism, and the development of corresponding supporting spells using [One Breed, One Branch]. The [Light and Shadow Cup] is only an internal competition within the wizarding land, but outsiders can enter the wizarding land to compete, so you can go to the Sun Shadow Peninsula on my behalf.”

Wizard Takla’s disappointed look suddenly brightened. “Of course. The Lewis Institute has completed its mission perfectly. After it’s disbanded, I don’t have much else to do. It’s an honor to be able to assist you, Director.”

Locke smiled and said, “I’ve already applied for a travel subsidy of 50,000 magic stones from the Plutarch family for you. It’s not much, but it’s mainly because Eric’s family is watching closely, so it’s still quite difficult to apply for it.”

“However, I believe that Diamond Succulent will definitely win a place in the Light and Shadow Cup.”

Wizard Takla said, “Great. It’s wonderful to be able to work with you, Director. It’s even more exciting than the hundreds of years I’ve spent in this land of six towers.”

“Director Locke, you may not believe this, but you have indeed brought a touch of unique color to our Six Towers.”

“And you have profoundly changed Miss Alicia.”

Wizard Takla said to Locke, “I’ll pack up and get ready, then we can set off.”

Locke reminded him, “Take a few capable civilian students from the institute with you. They can help you a lot on the way, and you can also train them along the way. Only when these people grow up can they truly change the current environment of the Six Towers.”

Wizard Takla nodded in agreement.

Locke said to him: “Alicia asked me to go to Bailong Street today, I’m leaving first.”
