Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 436

Chapter 434 Research Group Meeting

One month later, in a conference room 10km away from the White Dragon Tower.

Locke manipulated the projection screen of the School of Illusion with his fingers and said to the three first-ring wizards and forty-five wizard apprentices, “After two weeks of hard work, we have finally completed the project application.”

“For now, all you need to do is send the information and project application to the Yunze Cup competition committee.”

Witch Barbara, Wizard Tacitus, and Wizard Montgomery all smiled.

A month ago, Wizard Montgomery suggested that the problem of Chain Magic Vine storing magic pressure could be solved by using a special parasitic magic plant [Rust Bead Flower] that parasitizes on a parasitic magic plant.

Although the original Chain Magic Vine can parasitize on the permanent defense force field, it can only obtain temporary magic power from the permanent defense force field. The [Rust Bead Flower] can solve the problem of magic pressure storage.

Even so, it is still far from the large-scale tactical magic plant with a permanent defensive force field connecting multiple wizards in their minds, but at least taking this step proves that their research team can continue with this project.

Montgomery smiled and said, “I will personally deliver the project application to the White Wizard Association’s Eye of the Hurricane array magic gate today.”

“Thanks to Lord Locke, if he hadn’t provided so much high-quality pre-experimental data, we wouldn’t have been able to write a project application in just one month that far exceeds the level of wizards in our Six Towers.”

A project application should not only state the research topic, funding plan, etc., but also provide certain preliminary experiments to prove that the plan of the entire project is not a castle in the air, nor is it exaggerated.

Locke had preliminary experimental data.

Those data were produced by Sophia the Witch and her colleagues in the Star Sea using the Star Sea Scholars’ laboratory.

Of course, within this month, Locke had applied to the Plutarch family for a special research project laboratory located in the White Dragon Tower, and spent half a month there to collect some basic data.

Locke told Montgomery, “This is also everyone’s credit. After all, the preliminary experimental data in the project application were produced by the entire research team working overtime.”

“Needless to say, that project application far exceeds the level that the Six Towers Land should have. We are currently located in the Six Towers Land, and our level represents the upper limit of the Six Towers Land.”

Locke’s words excited the three first-ring wizards in the conference room.

These days, they have heard enough from the Six Pagodas that their entire research team is a tool for making money.

Almost everyone believed that this research group was just a tool for Alicia to collect her own funds.

Now it seems that their research team finally has the opportunity to stop such stupid remarks.

Wizard Tacitus said to Montgomery: “Wizard Montgomery, when you submit your project application, you must be very careful.”

“It’s always better to be cautious. There are too many people in the Six Towers who don’t want us to achieve anything.”

Montgomery nodded. “Of course.”

Witch Barbara asked Locke, “So what should we do next? Should we wait for the results of the competition?”

Locke shook his head. “Don’t wait for the results of the competition. Move on immediately to the next step and try to create this magical plant.”

“There’s no reason why this project application shouldn’t make it past the first round. So we’ll have to focus on preparing for the second round.”

“I need you to use the three major cultivation methods and the magic co-frequency cultivation method to cultivate as many vine subspecies as possible. Then, we will build a ‘Sword Tomb’ in the laboratory. I will use the finite element cultivation method to gather all the magic vines and form the finished product.”

Locke said: “I will help you in this process.”

Faced with the pressure to produce results, the three first-ring wizards all looked solemn, not as happy as when they had just written an excellent project application.

A project application, after all, is just about planning and imagining the future. Since it is about imagining the future, there is plenty of room for imagination, and it does not have to be actually done, so everyone is relatively relaxed at this stage.

But Locke wanted them to actually create the magical plant described in the project application, which was incredibly perfect and far more complex than anything researched in the Six Towers, and he had to do it within the one year required for the competition.

Suddenly, the three first-ring wizards felt like a heavy mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

Are they worthy?

Even the most confident Montgomery was a little nervous at this moment. “Lord Locke, should we prepare a Plan B? We can work on both plans at the same time. If this project doesn’t work out, we can always switch to Plan B.”

Montgomery smiled bitterly. “I don’t have a lot of confidence in us, actually.”

“People move and live, trees move and die. We must think about the worst possible scenario in advance.”

The four first-ring wizards were discussing at the top, while the wizard apprentices below were confused. They were not formal wizards and their knowledge was extremely limited, so they had no idea what was going on.

They only knew that they had to do whatever Locke and others asked them to do. This was a good project and a good opportunity. Their lives here were ten thousand times better than before, so naturally they would not want to leave the research group.

Locke gave Montgomery a strange look. “No need. Working on two plans simultaneously might seem like a good idea, allowing us to switch from Plan A to Plan B, but it’s actually just a distraction. We’re already short on manpower and resources.”

Locke took out a subspecies from the Star Ring. It was an 8th-level synthetic item that he had synthesized using the synthetic cube. Unfortunately, it still did not meet the requirements for completing the project.

This chain magic vine parasitized by the [Rust Bead Flower] fell to the ground automatically like a rusty chain, and turned into concentric circles on the ground, wrapping around Locke and protecting him.

“This is the first subspecies of the Chain Magic Vine I cultivated. It’s a one-ring magic plant. As a single magic plant, it might be good, but unfortunately it doesn’t meet the requirements of a tactical magic plant.”

Locke explained, “Next, we will cultivate more subspecies of the Chain Vine, and finally use the finite element cultivation method to complete it.”

If Locke’s idea were to be used by another wizard, it might be a bit risky, because it is difficult to produce results in research, and it is uncertain whether or when the results will be produced.

Moreover, this idea may not be correct or efficient.

But the problem is that the synthetic Rubik’s Cube is naturally suitable for the finite element breeding method. You can first use the synthetic method to synthesize a large number of subspecies, and then use the finite element breeding method to breed adults.

During this process, a large amount of information is needed. At this time, Locke will need three first-ring wizard collaborators and forty-five wizard apprentice students.

Those students can do a lot of simple work of repetitive cultivation.

The three wizards and myself were constantly revising our ideas during the cultivation process, looking for the most likely possibility of obtaining the magical plants with the characteristics they wanted.

Montgomery and others were shocked.

Barbara screamed. “Boss Locke? In just one month, including the time it took us to write the project application, you’ve already cultivated a subspecies? That’s too fast.”

Witch Barbara tried to approach Locke, and suddenly the chain magic vine seemed to sense something, raised its head, and moved dangerously along with her.

“Hmm? This magical plant can defend itself? How interesting, Boss, you’re truly a genius. It’s a pity this magical plant can’t utilize a permanent defensive force field.”

Witch Barbara used a universal bloodline spell to call upon the multiple bloodlines in her body. Then she pointed a finger, and a blood flame burned on the surface of the chain magic vine. This subspecies of magic vine quickly weakened and became listless.

Witch Barbara snapped her fingers, the blood flame disappeared, and the chain magic vine quickly absorbed the energy in the air, recovered itself, and became full of energy again.

“This is such a high degree of completion? This is a mature one-ring magic plant.”

“It possesses a high level of defensive capabilities. When my magical energy collides with it, even though it’s unmanned and unable to resist, it’s never been completely subdued by my power. A magical plant with such a high degree of completion in just one month? This deserves a separate article.”

Barbara quickly realized, “As expected of you, Boss. Now I have confidence.”

As a talented breeder, Montgomery showed his sincere admiration at this moment.

Although he discussed breeding with Locke and did not see how brilliant Locke’s ideas were, when he saw the subspecies of the Chain Magic Vine that Locke had cultivated on his own, he quickly realized how powerful Locke’s ability to turn ideas into results was.

“I’m convinced. The boss is the strangest genius I’ve ever met. His thinking is step-by-step.”

“But with the boss here, I do have the confidence to complete this project.”

Montgomery said, “I rarely admire a wizard, but now I am completely convinced by Boss Locke.”

Tacitus put away his surprise and smiled. “As expected of you, Lord Locke. When we cultivate subspecies using the finite element method, we don’t have to aim for a first-level magical plant; an apprentice-level magical plant will do.”

“Let’s start today.”

Because Locke showed his strength, the entire research team became full of energy.

The students also smiled more, feeling that the wizard instructors in the research group were very reliable.
